Sunday morning
Another day for my daily routine.
Despite what happened yesterday, things are normal now. It’s business as usual.
Especially today, since I’m gonna go swimming. If I get upset every time, I won’t be able to hold myself together.
Hang in there, my unwavering heart.
Encouraging myself, I took a shower, had breakfast, and got dressed.
I’m wearing a dark green cargo pants and a black short-sleeved T-shirt.
And my favorite necklace.
It has two rounded stainless steel plates through it, and it’s a real dog tag that the military gave me for my birthday, which they also wear.
After getting dressed, I checked the time on the clock on the wall.
It was 7:50 a.m. The meeting time for swimming was 9:00 a.m.
I still have some time left. I’ll do some studying and go to …
Bang!
Cheena came to visit.
You’re too early!
But I’ve gotten used to her coming in freely, so I’m not really surprised.
“Good morning, Cheena.”
I send her the usual morning greeting as she comes into the room.
Yes, as usual.
Today’s Cheena is wearing a white ratty French sleeve hoodie and denim shorts that are darker than yesterday’s, simple as usual.
I don’t know if she’s keeping it simple because it’s summer, but it looks good on her anyway.
I was standing close to the door, which made me feel strangely close to her.
Just when I thought I’d try to get some distance …
“Yes, good morning, …”
*Chuu*
… Wait wha-
Was that a cheek kiss just now?
I was momentarily disoriented by the greeting that Cheena had decided to speed up.
Oh no, the first line of The Lines of Sanzu almost connected.
(T/N: This was taken from the anime titled ‘Soul Eater’, which the reapers have, meaning that they are fully matured Shinigamis. It is represented by the three white lines on the head around the individual, white breaks in the hair, or white halos surrounding the head. When these lines are connected, the reaper will gain a powerful boost of power which causes the surroundings or lesser/weaker beings around the user dies.
Iori almost died when Cheena did the cheek kiss to him lol.)
I’m not sure if my heart is beating or not.
“Safe!!“ – Mr. Heart
That was a close one. If it wasn’t for me, you’d be dead.
As usual, I was taken by surprise, and whether I knew it or not, I was almost at death’s door.
“Here, Yori.”
And she spreads her hands a little wider, just like yesterday.
Today is the day to say …
So, what do I do now?
“Koko wa nihon desu yo?”
(T/N: This is a broken Japanese sentence which means “This is Japan, right?/It’s Japanese, right?” Usually said by foreigners, obviously lol.)
～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～
In the end, I didn’t return the greeting, and Cheena and I headed to the beach together.
The weather was clear and sunny, a perfect day for swimming.
We were riding along the beach together while feeling the sea breeze.
Behind me, I felt Cheena shouting, “Wow!” I think… Cheena was shouting in excitement (The sound of the wind was annoying).
In the vast land of Russia, it is not often that you see a seaside, so it is only natural to be impressed.
The time is.. 8:50.
If I keep going like this, we can arrive just about five minutes before the meeting time.
Speaking of which, I wonder how many members of the class will be there today.
Hopefully not too many…
Wouldn’t it be just a few of us, I think?
I don’t want to stand out.
such faint hopes were about to get shattered..
Across the road from the beach, I could see a temporary parking lot for bathers.
Near it, I saw a group of about 20 people chatting.
some of the faces are familiar to me… They are definitely a group from my class.
You’re here quite a bit early, It’s a pain in the a*s.
Since our class has exactly 30 students, that means more than 60% of the students are here.
You have club activities, right? You should go there.
I felt a slight urge to make a U-turn and asked, “Did you call me?” But it would indeed be impractical to turn back after coming so far.
’What! When did you get here?’ Let’s aim for a sneaking rendezvous with the others.
Don’t worry, I can do it! What was that military training for?
Oh, I can already feel your eyes on me, it’s impossible.
I can’t. Cheena’s beautiful hair is standing out.
Pessimistic about the future, I parked my bike in the parking lot.
Even though it was a holiday, I was able to find a space easily, probably because it was the last minute of the season.
I was worried that the roofless parking lot might damage my battery.
As I got off the bike, took off my jacket, and put it in the storage compartment, I heard a strange noise around me.
It wasn’t the cawing and wailing someone would hear from a beach.
The hustle and bustle is approaching… is that correct?
It didn’t take long for the cause… of it, a group of my classmates… started surrounding my bike.
Oh, no, they’re trying to take me out of the siege, leaving only Cheena.
Insolent!
“Chris, you’re awesome, you came on a motorcycle! It’s so cool!”
“I thought you said it was a two-seater. Who was driving?”
“I have a bike too! I’ll let you ride on the back next time!”
While I was silently attacking and defending myself, my classmates were talking to Cheena.
The organizer of the event… Sasaki, pushed them aside and spoke to Cheena (I wanted to make a comment about his unnecessarily cool layered clothes, which he was about to take off).
He said, “Hey, Chris! I’m glad you’re here despite the heat!”
Sasaki said in a strangely familiar way, sounding like an old relative of mine.
She didn’t understand what he’s saying, so she just said “Hi” to him.
Nice job Cheena. Just let the conversation flow.
If you want, throw him into the ocean.
I tried to remind myself, but that didn’t seem to be the case, and things progressed quickly.
And for the worse.
“Okay, Chris, let’s say hello.”
Sasaki said, and spread his arms like a guru …
There it is! ！！！！！
That stance is the type that invites a hug and then a cheek kiss!
Too predictable.
Too stupid.
I’m laughing inside because of his stupidity. Well can’t blame him he didn’t know I warned Cheena after all.
He had a confident look on his face, as if to say, “Come on, come on.”
His face does not hide his ulterior motives at all.
*sigh*
I wonder if he’s leaving all the decisions about his actions to his spinal cord.
Seeing Sasaki’s handsome posture, Cheena seemed to have sensed it.
She knew he was looking for a greeting.
But you know what? I’ve already taken care of that!
After Cheena made a face of disgust, she let out a breath that seemed to mock the other person a little. I’m not sure if I’m the only one who understands …. He’s going to do it, isn’t he?
“In this country, we don’t do that …”
Oh… yasashii.
(T/N: Yasashii means gentle and kind. So in this case, Iori is referring to Cheena’s denied Sasaki’s invite of cheek kiss in a gentle and kind tone.
I just wanted to say, Iori is jealous lol. Sasaki doesn’t have any chance on Cheena, she already did the cheek kiss to Iori. Poor Sasaki lol.)
