Chapter 13 - Ex-Girlfriend’S Visit

"Yukishiro-Onii-san, let's take a break, shall we?"

"Oh, oh, is it that time already?"

Today is Saturday.

Eri-chan came to my house in the morning and sat with me, or rather on my lap as usual, while I studied.

We started in the morning and it was almost past lunchtime.

"Eri-chan, I'm sorry. You must be hungry."

"No, I'm fine. Time didn't fly by when I was looking at Yukishiro-Onii-san's serious face."

"Really?"

"Yeah. It was so cool, I was just admiring it."

"Ah, eh, is that so? Thank you."

This kind of genuine praise from Eri-chan makes me happy, but at the same time it's somewhat embarrassing.

"I'm cooking dinner now, wait for me."

"Thank you. Yukishiro-Onii-san."

I quickly prepared and cooked the food.

I have a lot of eggs left over, so I'll just have oyakodon . It will be ready in about 30 minutes.

"Yukishiro-Onii-san's food always looks so delicious."

"Thank you. Then let's eat. Itadakimasu."

"Itadakimasu…"

Just then the intercom rang.

"I'll check the door."

"Yes."

Somehow, I had a bad feeling.

It's my fault for not checking in the first place.

I opened the front door and there was…

"Ah, Yukishiro. Good afternoon."

"..."

I silently closed the front door.

It was my ex-girlfriend who was there.

I don't even know why she came to my house.

"O-Open the door, Yukishiro. Please."

"What are you here for?"

"W-Well, that's because I want to discuss things properly again."

"I told you already I have nothing to say to you."

"Well, that may be true, but… I want to talk. Please. Let's talk."

I resisted and struggled to have the front door opened, making clattering noises.

Frankly, it's very annoying.

Besides, Eri-chan's at home. I don't want her to be around Eri-chan.

"…Fine. Then, next Monday after school. At your place."

"R-Really? Thank you."

"You need to go home today."

"…Yup, okay."

I made sure that the front door was clear of people before I went back into the living room.

"Sorry I'm late."

"…Yukishiro-Onii-san."

"Hmm? Yes?"

"You took so long. Who was it?"

I got chills down my spine.

Eri-chan's voice sounded lower and colder than usual.

"E-Erm… Well… It was my ex-girlfriend."

"…I see, ex-girlfriend, was it…"

"Yes. My ex-girlfriend."

"Can I ask you something, Onii-san? About your ex-girlfriend."

…I had a feeling that this was going to be long.
