118 – Comfort me (2)
Check the hair.
I just washed it and every time I sway, I can smell the fragrant shampoo.
Good condition.
Next.
Makeup check.
It’s makeup that looks like it’s not decorated as if it was half-forced by Lucy in the future.
Good condition.
Next.
Check your outfit.
Natural pajamas that are not embarrassing to show to others.
Good condition.
Next.
Check room condition.
When I rubbed the top of the desk with my fingertips, not a single speck of dust came out.
Good condition.
Next.
Check the condition of pre-purchased alcohol.
It’s cool because I bought it right after I broke up with Adele and put it in the refrigerator.
Good condition.
“Are you done?”
After closing the refrigerator door, Lucy straightened his back and looked around to see if he had missed anything.
The future Lucy, who was staring at it, clicked her tongue while leaning against the door.
“It’s a piece of cake to need consolation. Anyone can see that she is in good condition.”
“Isn’t it? Don’t you know that you have to move your body like crazy to forget what you were upset about?”
There was no lie in that statement.
He looks fine because he is busy, but when he stands still, it hurts as if his heart is being stabbed with a needle.
It wasn’t just an exaggerated way to go around the room and check.
“Anyway, get out now.”
Now that all preparations have been completed, Lucy pushed the future Lucy’s back.
However, she held on tightly to the door of her door, holding onto her door, trying not to leave.
“Hey, can I have a drink too? I’m worried about leaving you alone.”
Lucy whimpered and tried her best to somehow get her out of the way, and her future Lucy leaned over and held on.
It was as if a mighty bull was engaged in a contest of strength with her horns against each other.
“What are you worried about! Do you think Adele will do something weird? Now you know that he’s not the kind of person who would do that!”
“I thought you were going to do something, b*tch!”
As her voice rose, the future Lucy walked over to her dressing table and opened her drawer.
Then, when Lucy put her hand on a box the size of her palm that Lucy had enshrined in it, Lucy, her face reddened, rushed to it.
The future Lucy pushed Lucy’s head with one hand and opened the lid of her box.
“Kyaaa! Kyaaa!”
Lucy tried to stop her from screaming, but the future Lucy didn’t care.
“Look at this! I heard you buy some condoms, but what would a b*tch who lives this much do if you drink together?”
“No! I didn’t call you with that in mind!”
“Even if you deny it, it won’t be convincing, right?”
“Ah, get out! Just get out!”
In the end, when Lucy couldn’t stand it and started kicking her, the future Lucy was kicked out by force as she became violent.
After kicking her out the door and watching her sigh through her window, Lucy was able to catch her breath.
“Why does he keep hanging around the dormitory? I’m a bit uneasy…….”
But I’m sorry to tell you to go outside and disappear somewhere out of sight.
No matter how nasty she is, in the end, isn’t she herself in the future?
When she thought so, she even wanted to give her some money and let her go.
Smart.
─Hey, it’s cold outside, can you let me in? I’ll stay in the closet.
“… ….”
Just as her heart is about to weaken, she hears a whisper from the devil.
Cold asshole.
A guy who doesn’t care if the ambient temperature drops below freezing when using the attribute, can’t it be cold outside right now when the temperature should be around 10 degrees at best?
“Come on.”
Lucy took some clothes from his closet and threw them out the door.
“… ….”
I thought I was going to pick up some clothes, but soon the future Lucy poked her terrifying eyes through the crack in the door and lowered her voice.
“Hey. I didn’t do anything, don’t you think it’s too much?”
If it had been a while since I met her, I would have opened the door to her trembling, but now it’s different.
After seeing her rolling around in bed every day and begging for food to be served at mealtime, I couldn’t help but see her as a crippled person in the corner of the room.
So, Lucy replied calmly.
“Yes. Not too much Too bad, your nasty mind that doesn’t help with a single chore is too much.”
“Hey…… !”
Bang.
With a cold answer, Lucy closed the door.
Smart.
But less than five minutes later, the knocking sound came again.
Lucy, who was waiting at the door just in case, said in a firm tone, as if she had no intention of hanging out with her anymore.
“Go away.”
— ….
However, the presence at the door did not disappear.
Lucy wondered if she hadn’t been heard outside, so she repeated her words again and again.
“Go away.”
— ….
In her quiet hallway, she finally heard footsteps turning around.
─I see.
And Adele’s voice, not future Lucy’s.

“Uh, huh?”
Lucy finally finished grasping her situation and opened the latch that had been tightly hung on her.
Perhaps because he was flustered, he was late opening the door because his finger had just slipped, but when he opened it, he could see the back of his head, which fortunately hadn’t disappeared from the stairs.
“Adele…… ! I wasn’t talking to you!”
Adele stopped.
I climbed the stairs again, making a noise, and stood in front of the door.
“I thought you told me to go away again.”
“No…… I thought that was me from the future…….”
I tried my best to look good, but Lucy’s face turned hot at the situation where everything seemed to be in vain with one swear word.
He guided Adele into her room, fanning his hand over his face, worried that she might look down on him.
“Today is clean.”
Adele came in after taking off her shoes, looked around for a moment, and then uttered the words.
Every time he came a few times, he seemed to have a stereotype that he lived a dirty life because the future Lucy had messed up the room, so Lucy quickly made an excuse.
“Woah, originally write cleanly! But I came from the future and dirty the room every day, so it was like that these days. I told the dog to clean it up because I have guests today.”
“Is that so?”
As Adele placed the envelope she had brought on the table, Lucy looked inside and asked.
“What is this?”
“Snacks. I made it because you were drinking.”
“What is it? You don’t have to make something like this.”
Lucy takes out a container from an envelope while laughing.
Looking at Lucy like that, Adele said, ‘You look fine…… I thought the same thing, but I didn’t say it out of my mouth because I was wondering if I was pretending to be okay.
“Hey, but I don’t know if the alcohol I drink will be okay for you.”
“What do you mean?”
“No, I don’t think you can drink cheap alcohol because you feel like drinking expensive wine on a balcony just lit by the moonlight.”
“That’s right, but…… But it’s not just expensive wine.”
“A whale?”
The cold energy had just flowed down and a can of beer with water droplets on the outside was placed on the table.
“Sometimes Charlotte asks me out for a drink. Lately, they even drank with Tina.”
Lucy’s hand gripped her can slightly, but her tendons sprouted.
“I see. You drank with Charlotte once in a while~”
Lucy pulled the lid with her index finger, and bubbles rose with a cheerful sound.
After drinking them cool enough to make my throat gulp, I put the half-remaining can down.
I could feel the icy cold liquor flowing down my esophagus, but for some reason, it felt like it was bubbling inside.
“Aren’t you drinking too fast?”
Adele, who couldn’t help but notice how uncomfortable she felt when she came to comfort her and brought out another girl’s baby, wiped the foam from Lucy’s mouth like a beard.
His eyebrows, which had been kept straight as if he was dissatisfied with something, returned to their original state as if that alone had relieved his anger.
She was such an easygoing guy, like a gentle puppy.
“Didn’t you see how much I drank last time? Is this enough?”
“I don’t mean to say that you drink well what you forcefully squeeze in… ….”
“Is that so?”
“That’s it.”
Lucy asked, bobbing her body like a metronome as she took a few more sips while Adele quietly set her snacks.
“By the way, I have a question.”
“What is it?”
“How will I comfort you?”
She usually asks for it directly.
At that thought, Adele held her dumbfounded snack down on her table, forgetting to put it down.
“…… I guess it’s about listening to what you’re saying and empathizing with it.”
Lucy’s cheeks are red as she rests her chin with one of her hands, probably because she drank her drink again.
She hadn’t even drank herself yet, but she already seemed to see a future in which she would listen to her drunken Lucy’s complaints.
“I see. You sympathize with me and my ‘childhood friend’ Kyle, who is sad because I can’t go back to the way things were before.”
A childhood friend who emphasizes speaking slowly and clearly.
For some reason, I can’t meet other guys and drink, but you’ll quietly sympathize with me? It seemed that it was probably not Adele’s misunderstanding that it sounded like
Provocation.
“…… By not empathizing.”
“Then? Then what are you going to do?”
As if waiting, Lucy asked while spinning the can in her hand.
Adele, who was sitting across from her, stood up.
Adele put her chin on the seat next to her as Lucy watched her.
She then, wordlessly, wrapped her arms around her waist and then with a nudge she pulled her towards him.
“Like this?”
She looked up at Adele, who was sitting right next to her, with her eyes wide open, lured by his arm and clinging to her.
“Because when you’re having a hard time, just having someone by your side gives you strength.”
“Huh…… hehehe…… I see…… Yep, that’s right…….”
A room for two.
A natural body scent.
Those things combined with a sense of closer distance than expected made it feel like my heart was pounding involuntarily.
Her red face turned even redder, as if she was getting drunk.
