Chapter 13: The day I drop Misaki off and picking her up. (picking up.)
It’s time to pick her up.
And that is, my reward for working hard.
……I’m so happy already.
At 6 p.m.
As I’m leaving my room to pick Misaki up, I clenched my fist in delight.
It’s been about 10 hours since I dropped Misaki off at the nursery school.
Since I can’t just stay still idly in my room, I contact a odd-job man, and worked a short-term manual labor.
Helping a construction site that didn’t have enough people.
Well sure I may be working in a short-term part-time job at a diner right now, but maybe if I starts studying about architecture stuff hard enough and obtain some kind of qualifications, I might be able to work in that field in a comfortable position.
Sometimes it feels good just to think about stuff aimlessly.
And when a man feels good, he’ll start running.
Misakiiii!
Please wait for meee!
I get off the main street and run in the alley.
Making use of my tall height, I keep repeatedly taking shortcuts by doing parkour and acrobatics.
Running up the wall, jumping across the roof, and absorbing the fall impact by rolling over. I keep doing it. It’s now less than 1 kilometers from the nursery school. And when I starts to accelerate even more――
“Hey-, It’s dangerous!”
“Yes? Waaa――”
That was a close call. I stopped just a few millimeters away before smashing into another person.
“Sorry, I was in a hurry.”
“Wait here for a sec.”
My arm was grabbed.
……Seems like a strong-minded woman. Am I going to get into something troublesome now?
“Woman…… no you must be a male. There’s a nursery school around here. If at that moment was not me but a kid instead, that’d have been a life-threatening accident you know.”
Wait for a sec hey, why do you mistook me as a woman. There’s no way a woman would be this tall and have this kind of body build. And my face…… anyway this woman got guts to be lecturing someone who she just met.
“You too should be careful. If I happens to be a bad guy then, you might regret talking to me.”
“I see. So maybe you want to say something like. I can always mess up a girl like you anytime you know Gehhehheh…… that’s terribly disgusting.”
No no I won’t go that far. That’s disgusting.
……If I’m like that, it’s wise to just ignore him altogether.
“Sorry, I’m really in a hurry.”
“Ah, Hey wait here right now!”
I shake my arm off and starts running.
“Ah-, Wa-, I haven’t even starts using my hee――l yet!”
I heard an angry shouting from behind but let’s ignore that.
Ahhh I’m tired from stupid things again. What the hell is wrong with that woman, is she the suspicious person from these recent rumor? I have to warn Misaki beforehand.
“―― So yeah that happened.”
“……Unn?”
On my way back home with Misaki.
After I meet up with Misaki I immediately tell her about the suspicious person.
“Misaki, if you thinks they’re bad people just run away as fast as you could.”
“……Un.”
Ahhh, I’m getting worried.
Of course I’d always be walking alongside her but, if a suspicious person appeared when she’s alone then――
Ahh, AHHHHH, I’m so worried!
If such a cute girl like Misaki is seen by a suspicious person, If I was him/her I’d have kidnapped Misaki in less than a second!
Dammit what should I do, I can’t keep watching her twenty four seven, Ahh, aaaaa, AAAhhhhhhh……
This is sad.
“……Okay?”
“Ah, aah I’m okay. Don’t sweat it.
She’s truly an angel.
Misaki is truly an angel with heart full of compassion.
……I should teach her martial art for self-defense.
I flipped a switch in my mind, and saw Misaki’s smiling face. Oi, Why am I making an even more worried face than before. Am I really that weak to her smile, really?
“The nursery school, how was it?”
“……How?”
Misaki tilted her head dazedly.
“Friends, are you able to make one?”
“……Un.”
Oh, ohh, somehow she smiles a bit more just now?
“I see, what’s your friend like?”
“……Yui-chan.”
OOOOOHHH, Oi oi did you catch that. She said Yui-chan you hear me. Kuuuuu, seems like they’re getting along well isn’t it. I’m sure when they’re in the nursery school they’ll be calling eachother like “Misaki-chan” “Yui-chan” and playing together! That’s a paradise!
“So what did you two play today?”
“……Study.”
“Study?”
“……Read, books.”
Ahhー, so it’s that type of kid huh.
Well it’d be a big trouble if Misaki runs around outside and got injured, should I be relieved that she has that kind of friend?
“What kind of book did you read?”
“……Natsume?”
“Natsume? Ahh, you mean Natsume Soseki?” 1
“……Un.”
Is that for real. I was just making a joke.
Is there a new revisioned version for kid now?
“Lady’s etiquette.” 2
And now she speaks a western word fluently somehow. What was that just now, did I misheard it?
“Tomorrow too, read.” 3
……I’m getting worried a lot now but, well, she seems to be having fun so whatever.
“Misaki, what do you want to eat tonight?”
“……Gyu-don.”
“Ou, leave it to me.”
And after that, I continues talking to Misaki. This time unlike our conversation when we’re at home right now the conversation keeps flowing smoothly. Well most of it is me starting the topic but, we didn’t ran out of things to talk about. Maybe it’s because Misaki keeps replying me with that smiling face of her that I just can’t stop talking.
This is fun.
Even though it’s just talking with Misaki, but my heart is leaping in joy.
It’s a feeling that I can’t even imagine it just a little while ago. And while remembering this feeling of both happy and confused at the same time, I matched my steps with Misaki’s little stride.
Little by little, step by step, I feels like I’m moving forward.

It’s time to pick her up.
And that is, my reward for working hard.
