Chapter 95. [Second Kiss]

A few days later, we were standing in the airport’s lobby.

The surroundings were overflowing with foreigners trying to return to their home countries, just like us.

<<Umm, Ogu?>>

<<I don’t like it.>>

<<I haven’t said anything yet. It’s just that it’s a little hard to walk. So if you could let go of my arm for a moment.>>

<<That’s why I said I don’t like it.>>

<<O. OK?>>

It’s been like this all day.

Even when I tried to get up and go somewhere. She kept following me.

She even tried to follow me to the bathroom, which made me angry.

It was as if she thought I would disappear if she took her eyes off me.

“Sorry to keep you waiting. I’ve finished the procedure safely!”

“Thanks~, Mane-chan! But I’m glad you’re okay! You’re back on your feet!”

“Sorry, Anego-san. Everyone. I’m sorry for the trouble I’ve caused you.”

Manager-san has been much better when she found out she could go to Japan.

And above all, Ah-nee’s devoted nursing helped.

“Haha, but you two are close. I heard rumors in the office that you were dating. But I didn’t realize it was true.”

“Because we’re not dating! What? You’re the talk in the office? <<Wait a minute! You’re going to get more and more misunderstandings!>>. ”

<<Giggle!>>

<<Ugghhh! Why is it extra tight.>>

<<…Hey, Iroha!>>

<<What?>>

Angu Ogu looked at me from a close distance.

She had a serious look on her face.

<<You should stay in the U.S. after all.>>

She said this as if she had made up her mind.

I thought for a bit as I looked at her serious gaze.

<<Yeah, I can’t do that!>>

<<You should be a little more conflicted! You’re a cold-blooded man, Iroha!>>

<<No, no, I don’t have a visa. I have school.>>

<<You can stay here for 3 months even if you don’t have a visa! Besides, in this situation. If you told me, I could extend your stay.>>

<<Isn’t it a temporary resumption of flight for those people? Besides, I can’t leave my mother alone forever>>

<<That’s ……>>

Angu Ogu’s hand loosened as she clutched my arm as if she was clinging to me.

I cower my shoulders and said.

<<Ogu’s mother is with you, isn’t she? That’s why you brought me back to your parent’s house because you’re worried about her.>>

<<My mom is not like that. She’s just trying to keep me locked up because she doesn’t want it to affect her election. She doesn’t even listen to what I have to say. She scolds me one way or another.>>

She was indeed a very strict person, to the point she forced Angu Ogu so severely that she shrugged her shoulders.

But.

<<Ogu, you already know that, don’t you?>>

<<Iroha, you’re on my mom’s side.>>

Angu Ogu looked away from me with a pout.

Oh my, she’s sulking.

<<You know what I mean. I’m always on your side. That’s why I want you to face your mother again. I’m sure you’ll be fine. You can communicate with her.>>

<<…. I understand.>>

Angu Ogu entrusted her head.

When I was at a loss for a reaction, she pulled my hand and put it on her head.

She wants me to pet her. She is still a child.

When I laughed, an announcement was made at the airport.

“It’s time. Anego-san, Iroha-san, it’s time to go.”

<<Ogu.>>

<<… Un.>>

I gently remove Angu Ogu’s hand from my arm, as if to wrap it around her.

Easily, her hand fell off. The heat from her hand that had been lingering on her fingertips fades away.

<<Well, I’m going.>>

I turn my back on her and walk to the gate, pulling my trunk case along with me.

The caster turns with a squeak.

One step and then another, and we are moving away from each other.

The sound of the bustle of the crowd was very noisy.

I feel that there is still something I have left to do.

But I don’t know what it is.

<<.—–Iroha!>>

I turned around with a start.

The scene reminded me of the time when Angguogu came to Japan.

<<…Ogu!>>

A voice that shouldn’t reach you in the hustle and bustle.

But I could hear it. And I thought I got it.

I threw away my trunk case and ran.

And I hugged Angu Ogu with such force that I almost hit her with my body.

<<Iroha, it’s the opposite of that time.>>

<<Ogu, don’t kiss me this time.>>

<<Yes! I’m not going to kiss you this time. That’s Iroha’s, Hahah..>>

We looked at each other.

Angu Ogu laughed like he couldn’t take it anymore, and I’m laughing with her.

Then, “DOH!” and another shock hits me.

<<<<ngu~~~~?>>>>

“Mix me in too! I’m not a fan of this! Ah.”

Angu Ogu and I got together and were hugged by Ah-nee.

Ah-nee let out an “I’ve done it!”.

We slowly pulled our faces apart.

It was soft, the second time I felt it.

Ah-nee looked uncomfortable and tried to move away from me quietly.

But I grabbed her shoulder and didn’t let go. S I smiled at her and pressed closer.

“Ah-nee!”

“Oh, no, I mean… I’m sorry.”

She clasped her hands together in a gesture, and I sighed loudly, “Oh, no…”

“Well, it’s not the first time, right? It’s not like it’s the first or second time anyway. I’ll forgive you. You’re going to get me for free today!”

“No! Iroha-chan is pissed off!”

“Wait! <<Hey, hey, hey! Don’t just stand there. Say something Ogu?>>”

<<…………… Poof!>>

Angu Ogu’s face turned red, and she looked away.

She wriggled her body and put her fingertips to her lips as if to check.

<<What? Um, Ogu-san?>>

<<I… I don’t like Iroha, right?>>

<<No, well. I don’t hate it so much, but.>>

I’d say it’s neutral.

I think I have to take care of Ah-nee’s carelessness.

But the kiss itself, I thought it was a little too late for that.

<<I see. You don’t like it?>>

<<Uh, yes.>>

Angu Ogu smiles happily.

Hey, what’s with this atmosphere? I’m getting weird reactions, aren’t I?

“Could this be a fine play on my part?”

“No way!”

And just like that, our parting ended without it getting too wet.
