Looking at Nanami who hastily put on a suit, Arisu Sato quickly guessed that she would soon be alone at home.

It was clear that this was what had to happen.

However, I still cannot look at it with normal thinking.

"Yes, because I was delayed for some time, so I plan to have breakfast on the way. It will be quite troublesome if I am late."

"...I'm sorry, if I hadn't made that request, Nanami wouldn't be in this troublesome situation now."

"I don't mean to blame Arisu-san."

Nanami Fumito pulled at the tie pinned to his chest and adjusted its position.

I turned around and looked at Arisu-san's face, which seemed a little lost.

"Since you've said that, I won't break the promise easily. I'm happy that Arisu can have independent thoughts instead of being cautious. After all, we will live together as roommates in the future. If Arisu cares too much about my feelings, I will also feel distressed."

Last minute.

There is only one minute left at home.

Want to take a minute to do something?

Nanami looked around and finally stopped in front of Arisu.

"Arisu should just stay true to himself."

The right hand was placed on top of Arisu's head.

Lean forward and make light kneading movements.

"Before I leave, if possible, I want to hear Arisu say those words to me in person."

Suddenly feeling the warmth of Nanami's palm, Arisu looked up at her somewhat at a loss.

"That sentence?"

"Well... it's what the heroine usually says to the hero in anime when the hero goes out."

"Oh...I see."

Arisu looked at Nanami with a slightly red face.

It is clear which sentence the other party is referring to.

In addition-

I have been planning this for a long time.

"Nanami-kun, have a safe trip."

click -

The sound of the door closing softly echoed in the bedroom.

I can still feel the remaining warmth in my palm.

Arisu Sato stood up. The cell phone on the table started ringing.

——It was a message from Nanami.

[Oh, I’m worried that it might rain soon, so Arisu should take back the clothes hanging outside. It will be troublesome if they get wet.]

[Also, Tokyo has entered the rainy season, so please bring an umbrella when you go out.]

——Nanaha was chattering as usual.

Arisu looked at the cracked screen of his phone.

The fingertips tapped quickly, making a crisp sound.

[I understand. Nanami’s tamagoyaki is delicious.]

Ding--

It was Nanami's reply.

[Arisu-san changed the topic a little too quickly]

[Nanami, since you have to go to work, don't pay attention to the message. It will be troublesome if you encounter a car.]

Arisu sent the 'chiikawa' emoticon.

——It’s a cute expression with puffed cheeks like a pufferfish.

After seeing the message had been read, Nanami had no intention of replying.

That's fine.

Arisu put his phone aside.

Looking at the washed underwear hanging on the balcony.

Are these the underwear Nanami wore?

......

No.

That's absolutely not okay.

The idea that just popped up was immediately restricted in my mind.

The force with which Arisu gripped the hem of her skirt was amplified several times.

Nanami will probably hate her.

Don't want to do that.

I don't want to be someone that Nanami hates.

but......

---------

wow——

The mechanical sound of the subway door opening made Nanami Fumito drop his cheeks and look at his wrist.

——It’s time to go to work.

The subway delay, which is rare under normal circumstances, actually happened at this unexpected moment.

"Are you going to be late..."

Nanami tried her best to push through the crowd, not caring at all about the fact that her tie was tilted due to the pressure.

Even a minute early is fine.

When you are late, you are not the only one who faces difficulties.

The person who has a hard time making a decision might be Yukiko-senpai.

She wanted to cover it up, but she couldn't pretend that being late, which was forbidden by the rules, was nothing in front of so many colleagues. Yukiko's inner thoughts were more entangled than her own.

Really.

What a messy day.

Just as expected.

Arriving at the company and entering the office area, many eyes were focused on me.

Nanami Fumito walked towards his workstation tremblingly.

"Nanaha...what's wrong? It's rare to see you late."

Colleague Naoya Yoshida poked his finger at his waist.

After simply tidying up her workstation, Nanami responded in a complaining tone.

"I was late for the subway. I was five minutes late. I should have arrived at the company on time. I don't know what happened."

"Oh, I see. Someone committed suicide. It was a female student wearing the uniform of the nearby Kozaki Girls' High School."

The plastic cup in his hand fell to the ground.

Nanami quickly bent down to pick it up, subconsciously recalling the image of Arisu-san in her mind.

No.

There is absolutely no way it could be Arisui.

Although Arisu did have thoughts of suicide at the time, during the time they spent together, her behavior was not much different from that of a normal girl.

Arisu would never do something like that.

"I witnessed the scene, it was quite terrifying. There was a guardrail but the guy climbed up like a madman. I wanted to stop him, but he ran too fast. Besides, the subway was already coming. I would be in danger if I tried to save her."

——Yoshida kept talking, not noticing Nanami’s face becoming increasingly grim.

"Did you see the other person's appearance clearly?"

Nanami's eyebrows were tightly knitted together.

"Well... it was a pretty female student... I really don't understand why that guy would be so upset."

Nanami pulled her phone out of her pocket.

Look at Yusui's avatar in LINE.

[Is Arisu-san at home? Um... I'm a little worried about you.]

The next second the message is sent.

The read reminder made Nanami's original worries disappear in her mind.

[I am at school]

[Also, someone jumped from the fifth floor]
