The day after I was able to frolic in the pool and confide in Amari's worries, I went to work today with a melancholy feeling that yesterday's fun was just a dream.
　

'Oh. You look like a dead man again today.
As for the deaths... well, there were four absences.
Wow.

　When I briefly explained the reason why this happened to Sanya, who had returned earlier, he gave me a sorry look.
　When you are in the delivery business, absence is not unusual, but it is something that you don't want to happen if you can.

　First of all, it's simply unbearable.
　When I went to deliver a package, I felt that I had to shrug my shoulders and surrender, saying 'There is no one inside.

　Then, on the way to the next delivery, a customer sees the delivery note and calls me on my work phone.
　But the reality is that it means the courier will be pompous.
　I can't help but feel my face twitch when I'm on the move, whether it's close by or far away from the address where I left the delivery note.

　Still, it's a painful thing for the delivery company to have to go, and you're running late for a delivery that you were supposed to go to later.

　Recently, there have been some attempts to reduce the burden of carrying unattended packages, such as by building special lockers and mailboxes at stations, but I heard that Umineko Transport has not yet entered the implementation stage.
　d*mn.

　Anyway, because of such a situation, we don't want to send a notice of absence if possible, and we don't want it to happen.
　

'Four absences, that's torture, isn't it?
'Oh, especially the last one, where they complained, 'Why didn't you come when you were at home? It's too unreasonable.'
'Then just ask for a package with a specific time when you're at home, all I can think of is...'

　That's the one.
　I let out a sigh of agreement.

　I can't wait to get rid of this tiredness, but unfortunately, there are still 2 more days until I can see Amana next.
　I'm not kidding, the two days a week I get to see her are my reason for living, so I've made a habit of living based on that.
　It should be no different than a reader who reads Jaapu every week or a fan who watches anime without fail, but it's just my imagination that there's a huge difference between the two because the target audience is elementary school students, right?

Well, you need to give yourself up after you went to the pool with your wife and a bunch of little girls yesterday.
'The way you say it. Why would you say something like that to make me feel more criminal?
Nothing?　I don't envy Amana-chan's mother for playing with her, who I've only heard of as a beautiful woman, and I don't think I'm jealous of her at all~?

　No, I'm pretty sure that's why.
　Sure, the pool we all went to was fun, but what am I supposed to do with you being so jealous?
　You mean, if you invite me too?
　You had to work yesterday, of course you couldn't.

It's disgraceful that you're so jealous.
Good job, Mao.
'Mao-chan!　I'm jealous of Wa~!
No, don't call me that, good job, you two.

　He hears her talking and greets Mao as she comes over.
　As usual, Sanya's words and actions are through, but I don't feel much pity for her because the content is full of jealousy.

'Mao, I'm sorry about yesterday,'
'I don't mind talking about it. I've done a disgusting job of imitating you, but you've all been good to me and you're going to make it up to me, right?
Yeah. I'm a man of my word.

　Mao had unexpectedly barged into the pool, but she seemed to have gotten to know Sumi and the others while she was rescuing Amari from being picked up, and when she returned, she was swimming happily.
　I was especially impressed by the respectful looks she was getting from Chiyuri.

　That girl, she would give the same look to Amari and Kurone, so she must be admiring the beautiful woman herself.
　She has a good-looking face and can study, so she has high potential, but she's a bit of a screw-up....
　That's the charm of Yuri-chan, but it's hard to evaluate her because she has her own merits and demerits.

　Well, I'll be cheering her on, but as an example of how Maou helped me save Tenashi from being picked up at an early stage, I'll be going with her to the upcoming holiday.......next week's summer festival.
　Kurone, who is staying over, said she was going with her friends and since she didn't have any plans, I was a bit surprised to see that she was extremely happy when I immediately agreed to go.　

"Eh, wait a minute. You were at the pool with Amana and her friends yesterday, but you went somewhere with Maou?
'Oh, when I found out Kazu-kun was going to the pool, I asked him where it was. So I went there just to be lucky if I could see you that day...
'You met with Mao. I knew Amana and Kurone, so I got along with everyone else pretty quickly.

　He and Marao explain the situation to Saniya, who doesn't know what's going on, but the person who was told about it rolled his eyes and was dumbfounded for a few seconds before.......　

''Haaaaaaaah!　What's that?　Why are you having fun in the pool while I'm working on my hijinks?

　I was screaming at him as if to say it was out of his mind that he was out of his league.
　
　But I've never been so ugly and jealous before.　

'It's not like you were the only one who worked there...'
Come on!　Aside from the kids, I don't want the guy who was playing in the pool with Mao and Amana's mother to give me a good argument!

　Do you realize you're being preached a good argument?
　It's not like it's going to fall to you to talk about it, but if you say it, that complaint is not worth listening to.

　I'm sure you're not the only one who is inwardly stunned by this, but Miya continues with his vindictiveness.

'I can't believe that Kuroone-chan was with you casually in general!　I wish I could have seen those tits in a swimsuit!

　Hey, man.

Frankly, that sucks.
The fact that he's after someone's sister's body and the fact that he says it in front of his brother and the woman of all people. That's why I can't have a girlfriend.
'Oh, I'm sorry, don't look at me like I'm even a person like that...'

　He hinted at a statement that couldn't be overlooked for a bit, so I lightly glared at him and confronted him as a reason why he wasn't popular.
　As an older brother, there was no way he could miss looking at his sister with an insolent eye.
　Helped by Marao's cold-eyed gaze as a same-s*x man, Sannya quelled his jealousy harshly and easily.

　Seeing the situation, it's not surprising that he secretly doesn't want to let her see Amari too much.
