For Some Reason, the School Goddess Likes to Hang Out at My House

the unexpected and sudden call.

I mean, how did she get my number ……?

Did I give it to her?

 

I immediately dismissed the question from my mind, thinking, “Well, I guess it’s possible for her to have my number.”

I was more than grateful for the timing of the call.

 

I listened carefully to the sounds in the bathroom.

….It seems that she is currently taking a shower.

 

“I’m sorry for bothering you.
We didn’t take a step back from each other, so this is what happened~.”

 

“Rin is taking a shower right now.
May I ask what happened? Rin said it was an argument…….”

 

“That’s right~.
Dad got angry too, which is rare.
…… She has been staying over at Towa’s house every day for a long time.
That’s what worries him…….”

 

“Well, from a father’s point of view, it is normal to think that she is being deceived by a bad guy, isn’t it?”

“Yes, yes~.
Normally, Rin would say, “It’s okay because it’s Towa-kun”.
But today, he didn’t back down.
I think he was a little concerned about the changes in his daughter that he had never seen before…….”

 

“So that’s what it was about…….”

 

Daughter’s boyfriend.
Or a romantic interest.

Either way, it is inevitable that Rin would think so from her side, as she has put in more than she could ever imagine …….

 

Parental concern that is why.

I don’t know what happened to them in the past, but judging by the way she was at school today, she must have been rather salty about many things.

It’s easy to imagine that.

But…

“If that was all, I don’t think Rin would have been upset either……?”

 

“Let’s see……”

 

It’s rare for Rin to get angry.

I’ve almost never seen it either, and I’ve never heard of anything like that at school.

 

If I remember from what I saw, I was ambushed in front of my …… house before summer vacation, trying to keep my distance ……..Oh.

 

“Did he say anything about me, by any chance?”

 

I had somewhat guessed.

Rin gets angry because it’s about other people, not when it’s about her…….

 

“Porotto ……, Porotto, that’s right.
Dad said, “A man who is just a pimp for Rin to take care of him is just a punk as far as I’m concerned.”

 

“…There’s not much room for argument, sadly.”

 

There is no room for complaints.

In fact, I’d go so far as to say she’s taking care of a punk of sorts.

Seeing his daughter like that day in and day out, he must be worried.

Is she being deceived?

Is she being forced?

It is not surprising that such questions would come to mind.

 

I’ve seen the way he’s been acting.
I can understand Dad’s anxiety.
But that doesn’t mean he should make assumptions.
He himself always told Rin-chan, “See for yourself and decide for yourself”.
That’s why Rin-chan said, “I didn’t expect such words from my father……….”

 

“So it was her father’s teaching that she should decide for herself …..”

 

Rin’s words that she told me in the past…….

I still vividly remember that time.

The first time I saw Rin’s angry appearance.

 

‘I decide who I am going to associate with.
There is no room for and no influence from the evaluations and reputations of those around me.
I am here like this because I genuinely want to be with you, to talk with you, and to watch you with my own eyes.’

I was so happy to hear these words, I felt like I was saved …… but I didn’t want to admit it.

But for sure Rin’s feelings at that time are strongly rooted in my heart.

 

That line is probably Rin’s true feelings and policy.

So ……, she wouldn’t have wanted …… to deny it even more…….

 

There was a pause in the call, and then, I heard a gentle laugh from Lisa.

 

“After that, you probably don’t need me to tell you.
They argued and she said, “I’m going to elope!” and she left.”

 

“What do you mean, eloping? …….
And you didn’t stop it, Lisa-san?”

 

“It happened while I was out of the room~.
So, what you just heard is also what Dad told me.”

 

“I see…….
Then I’ll try to quiet Rin down and convince her to talk to her father.”

 

“I’m so glad you’re so quick to respond.
Both of them are so stubborn that it will be difficult to persuade them.”

 

I heard her voice sounding satisfied, as if she had been waiting for my reply.

I couldn’t deny the feeling that I was being played with, but I guess there was no point in worrying about it.

 

“No, I’m the cause and …….
If there’s anything I can do, I’ll do it.”

 

“Oh my goodness~”

 

A surprised but lively voice came over the phone.

I was strangely embarrassed by that, so I had to say bluntly, “What is it?”

 

“Fufu. Nothing.
It’s nothing.
But your voice is so much better.”

 

“What are you talking about? My voice hasn’t changed at all.”

 

‘Yes, yes, yes~.
Let’s leave it at that.”

 

I chuckle at Lisa’s treatment of me as a child.

I feel like I’m being read through even more than Rin, and I can’t say I like it.

 

“Then, Pon-chan, I’ll be counting on you.
Please take good care of her.”

 

Her tone of voice was firm, rather than the usual slow and gentle.

But there was a certain gentleness in her voice.

 

“Yes.”

 

I replied shortly and hung up the phone.

Then, thinking about Rin, I waited for her.
