7 seconds behind the neck

Barley tea and water yokan are on the kitchen table.

"Mom, I..."

Yizhi didn't pick up the barley tea, but looked at her mother directly, and said:

"I am officially divorced from Kazumi."

"Oh, yes."

Mother accepts the truth unexpectedly calmly.She put the water yokan into her mouth first, and then took a sip of barley tea.

"Aren't you surprised?"

"Because I have long thought that you might become like this. Sigh, a lot of things must have happened. But since you have already decided, you should just follow it, right?"

"That's right..."

Going back to his hometown to report his divorce obviously required a certain degree of determination, but now Iori felt a little bit astonished.

Walking into the room that had remained the same since leaving home, Iori suddenly became concerned about some unnecessary things in it.He opened the window, brought garbage bags, nylon rope and scissors from downstairs, and started tidying up the room.

The textbooks that were still around, the certificates of awards that were completely forgotten, and the clothes that were no longer worn, Iori disposed of these things one after another.

"Divorcing sister-in-law means that brother wants to live with that guy?"

Hearing Hayato's voice, Iori looked back.

"That rascal……"

"He's still there, in my brother's room."

"Did you mean your ship?"

Iori smiled bitterly.

"That's not the case, that's impossible."

"why?"

"He's not coming to my house anymore."

"oh--……"

The younger brother stood still and watched Iori organize the things, and then spoke again.

"Did my brother kick him out?"

The hands stopped.

"Why do you feel that way?"

"Because that guy is not devoted to my brother, it should be impossible for him to give up my brother on his own initiative."

Desperate.

The younger brother's words are really old-fashioned, and people can't help but want to laugh.

Say so too.

When we first said we were going to break up, there was a huge dispute, but later we broke up successfully. Thinking about it now, it really seems like a miracle happened.

At that time, Guichuan might really be very attached to himself.But after all, I still think in my heart that it should not be something that will last for a long time.

Just move.

Yes, Iori suddenly thought so.The room is too big for one person; it is far from the station, and because of the attached parking space, the rent is high.It is better to rent a room closer to the station, which is more convenient and suitable for living alone.After losing the beautiful items, even the wardrobe, the room is actually almost clean.

only--

The belongings of your ship were not sent back.At the beginning, I was taken by him once, so I probably know where his apartment is.Very close to the company.However, even though the two have had so many relationships, the meeting place has always been in Iori's room, so I don't know his detailed address.Although I sent him several messages, there was no reply.

Iori still doesn't have the courage to call directly and listen to his voice.

——It’s too much of an eyesore for you to continue appearing here.

I said very excessive things to him, and every word stabbed him like a sharp knife.After that, two weeks have passed.

Now I still occasionally see Guichuan in the company, but I don't see him as often as before.

I see.That guy was actually looking at me the whole time.That's right, I just found out now.

Kifune shortened his hair a little bit.It's a pity, I've always liked his hair.The feeling of the bangs brushing against the skin is obviously so comfortable.

It's so stupid.

After we broke up, I kept thinking about Guichuan and couldn't stop at all.

Iori lived a normal life.

Get up in the morning and eat breakfast alone, then go to work.

Back to an empty room after get off work.

Yizhi's room felt inexplicably cold.

The temperature of the air conditioner is obviously not adjusted to such a low temperature.

That day——since the day I dumped your ship, the temperature in this room became colder and colder as opposed to the temperature rising straight outside.

"When are we going to move..."

No one else heard this soliloquy.

Once you change the room, you can really cut off the relationship with your ship.

I really want to do this quickly, but at the same time, I feel that what should I do if he comes now?This feeling of dread that resembles anticipation.

I am so stupid.

What a fool.

The person who severed the relationship is obviously me, so why can't I let it go like a woman.

However, that should be unavoidable.

I have never been loved so deeply.Every corner of the body, no, including the mouth and the depths of the body, has been touched by that man, and the whole body remembers him.

In the future, is there any way for me to fall in love again?At that time, is there any way to be satisfied?

——This body is already screaming that it must be me.

Really.What the hell did you leave for me to change me into this.

However, this matter will not make me feel unhappy, and there is even a corner of my heart that wants to cherish this thing.Even if I know that I will only drift away from you in the future.

That being said, Iori sent the key—the key to your ship's room—to Oshima Translation Agency, and I don't know if it was delivered to him safely. He should be willing to tell himself the address.

If there is no letter from Guichuan notifying him of his address before moving, then temporarily put his things in his hometown for safekeeping.

It's just that bottle of champagne in the fridge is really annoying.Because I heard that this kind of thing is best not to freeze it too cold, so I put it in the vegetable and fruit fresh room.But it's better not to leave it for too long.

The phone rang suddenly, startling Iori.

"Huh? Huh?"

It wasn't his personal cell phone that rang, but a business cell phone.

The caller ID reads "President of Oshima Translation Agency? Oshima".

Mr. Oshima?Why did the president of Oshima Translation Agency call?I greeted you once when I met Guichuan, but I never saw him again.Is this a mistake?

"Hi, I'm Sasaki from Takimoto's Marketing and Planning Department."

"what……"

The president himself called, logically speaking, it should be a fairly urgent matter, but he was a little hesitant.

"Mr. Oshima?"

"I'm sorry to call you suddenly... Mr. Sasaki's birthday is 19XX, right? 』

"what?"

After the answer was correct, the other party fell silent again.Did he choose to call on Friday night to ask about his birth year?If it is true, then this person is really crazy.

"Mr. Sasaki.That—your ship once asked me to do something. 』

The sudden appearance of this name really shook my heart.

"He asked me to help find a bottle of vintage champagne that was kind of rare, I was just thinking you might know what that was. 』

The hand holding the phone started to sweat.

The bottle of champagne brought by your ship is still lying in the refrigerator.As long as you open the vegetable and fruit fresh room, you will definitely see the golden box.

His own silence seemed to have turned into an answer.

"Ah...that's right..."

"Well, if that's all you want to say."

I really want to hang up this call as soon as possible.The thing that finally fell asleep began to visibly wake up again.I really want to calm down this clamoring mood quickly.

"Mr. Sasaki, please wait, don't hang up!In fact, I am in the hospital now, and your boat was sent to the hospital by ambulance. 』

Oshima named a hospital in Tokyo.

"Huh? What happened to him?"

『I got into a little argument with someone because I was drinking, and I fell down the stairs.The foot was slightly sprained, and the head was also slightly hit.Just in case, I'm doing a tomogram right now, and there shouldn't be any problems.I'm just sorry, can I trouble you to pick him up? 』

"...No, I don't think I'll be able to help you in the past."

"ah. 』

With a snap, Oshima seemed to slap himself in the face.

"I'm really not used to beating around the bush like this.Mr. Sasaki, you and Takafune, that...it may not sound good to say it, but it has already been done, and you should have broken up with him recently, right? 』

"..."

"Ah, it's okay.If you don't want to answer it, don't answer it, I will go on by myself.He looked very happy a while ago.Although he tried his best not to show it, it felt like he had obtained an irreplaceable treasure and wanted to keep it a secret. 』

Iori didn't say anything, just listened.

"I've known Kifune since he was a baby.The guy has been inexplicably popular with everyone since he was a child.How should I put it, it's like a magnet that can attract women is buried in the body, right?And it attracts all of them, good or bad.Alas, it feels very unbalanced for real.Because he was so promiscuous in the past, but now he is troubled by his first love. 』

"First love? Distress?"

These words do not feel suitable for expensive ships at all.

"His first love is you, Sasaki-san.As long as he has anything to do with you, that guy will be very serious.About a year ago, that guy has changed since I met you.And gradually began to face the work wholeheartedly.I wonder if he is trying to get your praise? 』

"Even if it's really like this..."
