Chapter 90 At Home
#Ikemen no Bishoujo TomodachiAt Home
“Thank you for today. This is your wage.”
It’s 6 p.m., and the sky is dominated by darkness as the setting sun shines through it.
Having finished their part-time work of handing out tissues, the part-timers take turns receiving their pay from the supervisor. They line up and stand in order. Sou and the girls were among them.
“Thank you.”
Sou is the last of the four to receive the thin brown envelope with his pay. Haruki and the others received it earlier.
Holding the brown envelope, Sou joins Haruki and the others.
“Okay. Everyone has received it.”
When Sou joins them, Haruki has a satisfied look on her face. Then, after making eye contact with Mizuki and Manami, she nods as if she had planned it.
“Sou, please take this.”
Haruki holds out the brown envelope she is holding and offers it to Sou.
“Mine too, Sou-kun.”
“Manami’s too.”
Mizuki and Manami also offer their brown envelopes.
“What are you three saying? This is money you all earned, right?”
Sou is confused and suspicious of the girls’ sudden and incomprehensible behavior and doesn’t understand why they would give Sou the money they earned themselves.
“What can I say? We want to play with Sou soon.”
Nod, nod. Mizuki and Manami nod their heads up and down several times in agreement.
“So in order to get the money quickly, we discussed giving the money we earned to Sou in advance.”
“That’s right. I understand that you don’t want to accept it, Sou-kun. But please accept it.”
“I see. But I’m sorry.”
Even after hearing Haruki and Mizuki’s explanation, Sou still couldn’t bring himself to accept it. He couldn’t just accept the money that Haruki and the others had earned through hard work.
“It’s not free~ We’ll get it back when you have more money~~”
Manami adds in a mocking tone.
“I agree. We didn’t say that we would give it to you for free~”
“Me too. Maybe we should get it back with interest~”
Haruki and Mizuki laugh jokingly.
“Yes, thank you. I will definitely return this money.”
However, Sou, who is serious at heart, seems to have taken it seriously.
After receiving the money from the three, they disbanded on the spot. Mizuki wanted to spend some time with Sou but was pulled away by Haruki and Manami.
After saying goodbye to Haruki and the others, Sou goes home. Since this is the closest station to his house, he arrives home in a few minutes.
He takes his house key out of his wallet, puts it in the keyhole, and turns it.
After confirming that he heard a click, he removes the key and opens the door.
Clang!
But the door remains locked and does not open.
“Huh? Did I do something wrong?”
Confused, he puts the key back in the hole and turns it to unlock it. This time it seems to work.
He opens the door to his house and steps into the entrance.
“I’m home~”
He takes off his shoes at the entrance and gives a greeting as usual. Usually, there is no answer. But this time!
“Sou-chan! Welcome home~~”
As a cheerful face emerges from the living room, a loud banging sound stimulates Sou’s eardrums.
The owner of the voice appears at the entrance.
The person is a woman, a beautiful woman, about 160 cm tall.
“Eh, Mom?”
“Yes!! It’s Mom~ It’s sudden, but Mom’s back~~”
The woman recognizes Sou’s face at close range and hugs him tightly and happily.
The scent of perfume, unique to adult women, wafts faintly through the entrance. Of course, it surrounds Sou as well.
