"Can't we have a guerrilla rain tomorrow?
'Stop praying sinister prayers that don't try to hide the slightest bit of jealousy.

　When I came back to work after finishing today's delivery, Miya asked me if I wanted to go out for a drink.
　But when I told him that I couldn't drink because Amanashi and Amana would be going to an amusement park tomorrow, he began to complain to me like this, cursing me to death.

　I can only say it's disgraceful, frankly speaking.

"No, really, what is it with you?　Is this an insinuation against me, like an amusement park date with Amani-san?
That's an accusation. First of all, Amana is with you, so it's not just the two of you, and it's not a date.
"With kids together, that's completely like a family member, isn't it?　I hate you so much, but Tenri-san says she loves you for sure!
What?　No way. I was originally going to go with my father and son, and I just got lucky and got invited.
I can't help but envy your luck, d*mn it!

　He was uncompromising in his defense, but Sanya only repeated his resentment with bloodshot eyes.
　If only he could stop that jealousy and shame, he'd be a little more popular, but doesn't he think anything of it when he looks at himself objectively now?　

　Well, the situation of being able to go to an amusement park with Amanashi and Amana is pretty blessed, as Sanaya's reaction suggests.......
　I'm almost bragging to myself that they've been able to build a trusting relationship to this point, despite the fact that they met in that way.
　It's not impossible to think that there really is a favoritism, but the possibility of it becoming reality is infinitesimal.

　Before that, it's unclear what I myself think of Amari.
　I tend to focus on her well-formed style and good looks, but her politeness and seriousness in not skimping on anything is likeable, and despite her difficulty in getting to know you, she also shows a softness when you get to know her.
　Her cooking skills are top-notch, judging by the bento boxes she kindly prepares for you, and her other domestic skills are also of a high standard, judging by her appearance.
　Although she's not my daughter, I don't need to tell you how well she has raised her child to that level of excellence.

　I think she is a woman full of rare charms that you won't find anywhere else in the country, let alone in your neighborhood.
　It is clear that he has placed his trust in her.

　However, if you ask me if that trust comes from romantic feelings, I'm not sure.
　Well.........even if I am aware of my feelings, it is impossible for them to be the same.

　I concluded that for now.

"If it doesn't rain tomorrow, I'll just report the summons and...
'Hey, idiot!　That's not a joke, so stop it!

　While the people are thinking, Miya says something heartbreaking without a joke, and I hurriedly stop her.
　Now that I've compared it to when I just met Amana-chan, it wouldn't be the worst thing to be called in, but it's still something I'm still wary of.
　I'm so surprised that the goosebumps won't seem to subside for a while.......

　As I felt a cold sweat run down my spine, I heard footsteps approaching towards us.

''When I thought it was noisy, it was you guys........''
Mao. Thanks for your help.
Good night, Mao.
Good night.

　It was Marao, who had finished her work and had changed into her civilian clothes.
　As far as coming all the way over here, it seems that we.........or rather, Miya, were quite loud.
　Although not the direct cause of the problem, I feel slightly sorry for it.　

''Hey, hey, Mao, listen to me~!　Kazu is going on an amusement park date with Tenri-san tomorrow~!
I...
'Oh, why are you telling Maou that?　Because it's not!　Amana-chan is with me, so I don't have that intention!

　The three of us, including Amana-chan, desperately try to excuse ourselves for going together, even though we didn't have time to catch our breath and stop Miya from spewing her complaints to Mao.
　Marao was aghast at Marao, so there was no reason to be in a hurry.
　I don't know why it's like they're trying to cover up such a hidden thing....

It's not that Kazu-kun goes anywhere with anyone, it's not for me or Miya-kun to interfere. That's why you'll never get a girlfriend because of that attitude.
Gahhhhh...

　Wow.........I said clearly what I didn't dare to say.......
　Sanya, who was directly sprayed with poison, winces, but I'll have her accept it as she deserves it.

''I'm sorry about that.
I was simply annoyed with Miya-kun. Bye.
'Oh, ah...'

　Even though I thanked her, Marao hurriedly left without a single change in color.
　

Hey, Kazu. Did you get into a fight with Maou?　I don't know, it seems colder than usual?
I don't know what I'm talking about either...

　Amidst the commotion in the Minami family during the summer holidays, I had only told her and Sanya that I had protected Amana, who ran out of the house after a fight while hiding it.
　Since that time, as Sanya says, the response from Mao has become strangely distant.
　If they met face to face, they would exchange greetings and words on business matters, but conversations other than that, conversations didn't last long.　　

　In the past, he used to talk to me frequently, but the sudden change in his attitude is just baffling.
　I'd like to get rid of it as soon as possible, but I have no clue what to do about it.
　It's good to know the reason at least....

　I thought about discussing it with Amari or Kurone, but I can't bear to get them involved in my relationship situation, so I'd rather refrain from doing so if possible.

　When I was hesitating, Miya made a huffy expression and seemed to have figured out something...

''Could it be.........your period or menopause?''
Well if you're serious about it, why don't you ask him?
I'm sorry.

　Look what he says with a serious face........
　I was an idiot for trying to get this guy to understand women's hearts.
　Well, I'm aware that I can't speak for others, but I'd like to think that I'm better than Miya at least.

"All jokes aside, if the crunch continues for too long, I'm in a bad mood too, so do something about it, okay?
I know you don't have to...

　It's too late to do anything about it now.
　I've known Mao for a long time since I started working at Umineko Transport, and I'm not going to disparage her in any way.
　I don't know what she's thinking about avoiding me, but I don't want the relationship to be cut off like this.

　It was with these feelings that I made my way back home....
