It's the end of May, and I can feel the temperature gradually rising.
　It wouldn't be a problem if I was working indoors, but I can't be too careful in my line of work, especially in the delivery industry.

　In the case of the delivery business, it's not so bad when you're in an air-conditioned truck with a load of stuff on it, but the work of unloading it and carrying it away gets tougher and tougher.
　Every year, every summer, the expression on the faces and hearts of the home delivery guys, including me, would die.

　But this year, however, it's different for me.
　After all.....

"Good, good, good!

　I'm soothed~........

　Just by having a soft hand caress your head along with the sound of a lovely, inferior voice, the fatigue that had built up in your heart disappears.
　It's a good thing that you can be sure that this is not the case with any other person.

　It's a good thing that the other person is a little girl in the first grade.

　You can find a lot of people who have been in the market for a long time, but you can't find a lot of people who have been in the market for a long time.
　She looks like her mother (Amari) and has the potential to be popular when she grows up.
　I think it's very cute, wearing a pink dress over a white tunic.

　I was relieved of my daily fatigue by that girl - Amana Minami.
　I met her after I took over the delivery area of a senior colleague who retired last month, and our weekly interaction on Tuesdays and Fridays is what gives me something to live for.

　Let me tell you, I'm definitely not a pedophile.　
　I just love this angel called Amana-chan and I don't want her to be in the news with the people who are in the news.
　And since I got permission from her mother, Amari, for this touching, I have nothing to feel guilty about.

　I was reminded of something by Amari, so I very reluctantly asked her to stop stroking me and took out some things with my luggage.

I'm going to return your lunch box for today, Amana-chan. Can you tell your mom that it was good?
'Yes!　I'll make sure it's properly cleaned up!

　At the beginning of this month, Amana-chan had a class visit at her elementary school, and unfortunately, she couldn't even make it to school on time, let alone arrive on time.
　I happened to be on my way to deliver her to the school, but I happened to be on my way to deliver her to the school, so I put off my own work.

　After that, she gave me a home-made bento box as a thank-you gift on the days that I came to deliver her to the Minami family.
　It's been two weeks now, and he has to return the box to Amana when she delivers it to him.

　Amanashi's food is made with a good nutritional balance in mind, and frankly, it's better than my parents' food.
　Apart from the fact that I get to see Amana-chan, that bento is becoming one of my favorite things to eat.

　If I'm honest about it, people might misunderstand that I have a thing for them, so I'll just tell them how delicious it is.
　I don't want to piss him off and ruin his lunch.

''Amana-chan can be jealous of Amari's cooking.
Right?　Mom's distance is the biggest in the world!

　My daughter, Amana-chan's reaction is as proud as if she had been praised.
　As I watched her expression with a smile, a voice suddenly came into my ear.

'Hello, Hayakawa-san,'
Oh, Amanashi.

　The owner of the voice at the end of the face was Amana's mother, Nantenashi.
　Her dark brown hair was as lustrous as ever, and her lapis lazuli eyes, which were the same as her daughter's, seemed softer than when I first met her, and it was clear from her suit that she was on her way home from work, and her attire made her elegant appearance all the more attractive.

　She doesn't look like she has a child, with a beautiful face that all ten people would look back at if they passed her, and a style that looks like a model for a women's fashion magazine.

'You're early today, aren't you?'
Yes. But it just so happens to be my day.

　I don't know what type of job she has, but she seems to excel in her company and is often relied upon for things.
　Even though it helps financially for the South family, as a mother and child, it's a bit of a bummer that he has to go to work only in the morning on the day of his class visit because of it.

'Mom, welcome back!'
Yes, I'm home, Tenna.

　Amana-chan hugged her mother as she returned home, her smile glowing.
　Amari also crouched down to hug her daughter, making the scene of a harmonious father-son relationship and making me smile.

　So, I quietly try to keep my presence out of the way and not interrupt the parent-child time.
　This kind of consideration is the proof that I'm growing as a member of society, I thought to myself without any particular meaning.

'Tenri. Thank you for this one as well. It was delicious as always.
'No, it's something I like to do, so don't worry about it...'
It's because of that generosity that I'm able to have a good lunch, I just try to make sure I'm grateful every time.

　About time, I hand the empty bento box I was about to give to Amana and tell her what I thought of it.
　Then she insists that it's not a big deal with her modesty, but when I confide in her without wrapping it up that it's not.......

''I see........''

　He gives a somewhat dumbfounded and unclear answer.
　I'd like to ask him what he thinks, but unfortunately I have to get back to my delivery.

''Well, I'll get back to work then.
See you later, young man!
Yeah, I'll see you later.

　When I said goodbye, Amana responded cheerfully.
　It seems so simple, but it's unexpectedly hard to get, to say 'see you again' in this way.
　I bit down on this and returned the greeting, trying not to forget it.

I'm sorry, Mr. Hayakawa, but I'll be in touch with you after work today. I'm sorry, Mr. Hayakawa, but could you please call me back after today's work?
Huh?　Why?

　As I was about to leave, I was stopped by Amari.
　I thought that I should just tell her right here, rather than call her at the end of the workday, but I realized that she couldn't hold me back any longer as I was about to return to work.

''I'll get to the details later... anyway, just give me a call as soon as I finish work and I'll answer.
Oh, yeah. All right.

　I'm not sure if it's a requirement to finish telling you right away, but Amari's expression is slightly troubled.
　I'm not going to be able to say no, so I'm going to try to remember it and agree.

　And so I went back to my delivery.
