Chapter 17

Blanket

Ajura laughed 'ehehehe' for quite a while, then suddenly stopped laughing as if realizing something.

"17 years old... 17 years old is really."

"Fucking yuh, very young-desu."

"Wow so we were being spun around by a high school 1st year until now-sumkka."

"Un?til now?"

"Ah, meant the past 3 days-sumda. And Captain Comrade is also younger than expected."

"Actually the surprising one is this side more-desu."

"Why."

"Voice is freaking aged-desu."

Nogada lifted the pickaxe without a word.

Yui looked at him for a moment and spoke quickly.

"Cancel."

"Like hell."

A chase ensued.

Meanwhile, Ajura marked Yuria closely.

"Really, really really 17 years old-sumkka?"

"Yees. I, Yuria am 17 years old-yeees. Yuria is-yeees."

"Comrade Yuria is 17 years old, confirmed-sumda."

"Uh-oh. Pronunciation is a bit wrong-yeees."

"Ah pronunciation leaked a bit-sumda. Mistake mistake."

Leaving behind the rare sight of Ajura spinning Yuria, Yui, who got hit once by the pickaxe, and bare-handed Nogada joined them.

Yui was limping but laughing.

"Ehehehe... I am 27 years old-desu."

"Ah right we had to reveal ours too-sumda. I, am 25 years old-sumda."

"Age is high."

"Correct-desu! We ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠are old-desu!"

"Seems distribution is definitely done well-sumda. This should fit age to age-sumkka."

Nogada tilted his head at the unusual hitting sensation.

"That, our Mountain Villa cooldown is back-yeees. We'll go do that and come back-yeees."

"Yes yes do it and come-yeees."

"Hehehehe..."

"Why laugh like that? Are you crazy?"

Yuria half-dragged Nogada out as he tried to take out the pickaxe.

Of course Nogada didn't get dragged out meekly though.

"No, still quite a bit left until wait starts."

"Quiet, please-yeees."

"Why me."

"Kyaa Cool Guy-desu!! Desu!!"

"My heart is beating-sumda!!"

Seeing the two's reaction, he chose to get dragged out quietly.

"... Shall we go to Mountain Villa."

"Let's go quickly-yeees..."

"Okay."

"... But rea."

"It's real."

"Yesss."

Yuria's tone became strangely higher as if a bit excited, but.

"What why run suddenly? Still quite a bit left anyway."

"Just want to go quickly-yeees."

"That seems like a good idea. Let's run."

"Yees."

Nogada, being deaf, wouldn't know.

Honestly, saying I had no thoughts would be a lie.

From the first time I saw him, he was a person I was strangely attracted to, Nogada.

Voice was quite to my liking and actions were too.

Strong, passionate, and calm.

A person who gives the feeling of standing before a spread-out ocean, making me feel refreshed together when next to him.

Conversation also flowed strangely well.

Shin Yu-ri knew well that she was a bit unique.

Knew very well that she was a tiring style, a bit dual and popping.

Yuria was an RP maximizing such insidiousness and frustration of hers.

Saying everything despite being timid, insidious but honest.

Ambition and pride are strong so always trying to stand on top and even slightly rude RP.

If slipped it's Bad RP but Yuria created Yuria without hesitation because she was confident in controlling herself.

No, took her out.

But putting such confidence to shame, the situation flowed too comfortably.

Just yesterday and the day before, time spent chatting together already exceeds 20 hours.

During that time, didn't feel awkwardness or discomfort.

I, who am so sensitive.

RP set with determination but no trouble occurred.

Became less annoying and a bit cuter than imagined somehow.

Everything was out of control.

All was Nogada's fault.

Nogada was a person with mysterious charm.

A person who raises the opponent's charm, my charm.

But it was exactly up to there.

Of course, was a bit surprised at being 17 years old, but not to that extent...

Yuria barely stopped her hand going to the clip.

How is the voice?

Of course Yuria had looked up Nogada's clip before.

Yes, it was Nogada's clip.

After entering Life Server, only looked up clips.

Because I have to keep RP.

To tell the truth, even that was behavior I wouldn't have done originally, but it was the result of curiosity beating control.

So... have to endure.

At the light sound of dragging chair, drrrk, heard then, Shin Yu-ri raised her head.

Eyes met with Han Ye-rin pushing chair and standing up.

"Where going?"

"Ah, that. Have something to say to Lee Ju-yeong."

Han Ye-rin, spitting out an excuse she wouldn't usually make, looked somewhat clumsy but.

"Good?"

"... Better than thought."

Looked good.

Words ambiguous to express but, those words were right.

"Hmm... I'll go too."

"Ah... um..."

"Ey, don't worry. I'm going to see Jae-hyun. Won't disturb."

"No didn't worry about that."

"Am I Choi Da-ram. To be stuck there tactlessly?"

"Why going crazy again..."

Leaving behind Choi Da-ram spitting curses while drooping, the two visited the next class.

"Ye-rin Ye-rin, how is dating?"

"What how. Just... doing it."

The scene seen as soon as opening the back door is.

"I'm slowly getting more used to Kim Jae-hyun in this state."

"I know right. Like that today too."

Lee Ju-yeong and friends chatting surrounding the drooping Kim Jae-hyun.

Lee Ju-yeong surprisingly turned his head as if feeling something even while turned back.

"Honey!!"

Han Ye-rin didn't say anything even hearing the title honey now.

Instead beckoned and called out Lee Ju-yeong.

Already forgetting Shin Yu-ri standing next to her, gaze was focused on Lee Ju-yeong.

Watching him, somewhat dislike emotion rose up, but soon went down.

Because he looked happy.

Because it was a refreshing expression enough to make soaring dark emotions go down together.

Shin Yu-ri watched him for a moment then turned her head to look at Kim Jae-hyun.

I'm not to that extent though.

Is that true fate?

At that moment, Kim Jae-hyun rubbed his face on his arm and turned his head to look this way.

Sharp eyes revealed without glasses, half-closed eyes were seen.

Unfocused blurry eyes but gazes met.

"Ha."

Or not?

Didn't know because meeting eyes was rare but it was quite good.

Well because you avoid everyday.

Today just happened to be just before falling asleep.

Luck was good.

Shin Yu-ri put on a smile and waved her hand to Kim Jae-hyun.

Kim Jae-hyun looked with a blank face for a moment then soon waved his hand back.

Felt somewhat good because the face that would usually be covered by a blanket was revealed.

Blanket draped over shoulder felt a bit heavy.

Thinking about it, couldn't cover with blanket because of me.

Not particularly sorry.

Well when he thinks of the blanket he will think of me together.

Uh-oh.

Shin Yu-ri tilted her head at the thought passing by for a moment, then soon shook her head lightly and approached Kim Jae-hyun.

Yeah, means whenever he thinks of the blanket he thinks of a beautiful girl like me.

Good for mental health.

That's why.

Thinking ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠that, sat in the next seat naturally.

Someone was there until just before but no one now so didn't mind and rested chin on hand.

"Shoulder looks a bit cool, shall I lend you the blanket? I warmed it up a bit."

"... Yeah."

"Heuhah, okay. Have to return it again?"

"... Yeah. You take it."

"Can I make it mine?"

"Yeah."

"Saying dangerous words nonchalantly?"

Simple answer ignoring all modifiers attached before and after.

Liked that too.

Because he doesn't seem like a tiring person like me.

Of course really very frustrating, and a bit loser-like but.

Cute in his own way.

Seeing him drunk on sleep like this, or with friends, it seems he's not always like that so it becomes okay.

Don't know what the problem is but always treats indifferently and pushes away.

I'll think you care about me that much?

Later shouldn't do that.

Cute now too, but I like manly people.

... Well can't be all good.

If there are good parts there must be bad parts too.

Can't fit everything.

Shin Yu-ri moved her hand and covered Kim Jae-hyun with the blanket she had draped over her shoulder.

Just said it but, the blanket was in a slightly warm state.

Embarrassing.

Shin Yu-ri lightly poked the nose of Kim Jae-hyun who closed his eyes as if comfortable.

I'm like this but seems he isn't.

Didn't like that it was too too too peaceful.

Poked cheek too, swept hair piled on forehead a bit too.

Whether doing so or not Kim Jae-hyun didn't open eyes.

Shin Yu-ri played with hands like that for a long while and left the seat around the time the bell rang.

Expression of rising Shin Yu-ri looked good, also looked frustrated.

Move wall, hammer.

"Here cement."

"Good?"

While applying mixed cement, go to move wall again.

During the short time going, check phone to read texts in bulk, answer and work.

"I don't feel heat well. Rather cold if entering indoors."

"Asking what to do if go South? Don't know. Construction... probably do Nogada. In the first place don't know what is in South."

Although there was delay with each other, communication was smoother than expected.

"Done. Now one left."

"Have to go down and help later."

I looked at Yuria mixing cement and lifted phone.

"I just don't feel heat. To the extent of wearing long sleeves unless it's midsummer."

Yuria finished cement work skillfully even while talking unlike the beginning.

"Let's go down."

"Have to wipe [discipline] them once sometime."

Felt from before but.

Seem to fit well somewhat.

RP was awkward at first but now familiar.

Is it because we talked so much, now sticking like my personality...

Not yet.

I reflected while doing pickaxing one tempo late.
