Chapter 04: Monou-san Private House (Part 2)
Yes, what am I going to do now?
I feel so ashamed. My heart has been beating fast the whole time. Although I've tried to be calm, this is the first time I've invited a man into my house.
How can I stay calm?
I'm really worried. Besides, I can clearly feel Sanezawa-kun's tension. It creates a vicious cycle and makes me even more anxious.
Eh... Will it really be okay?
I tried to prepare everything in my own way... But does Sanezawa-kun dislike me?
"That woman is really determined. She made me worry so much." Does he really not have such thoughts?
Even the fact that someone came here to clean up has been revealed to him.
Why is it like this...
"...Chief Monou, do you like whisky with soda?"
Sanezawa-kun asked after I put some cans of whisky and soda on the table.
"That's right... In the past, people used to invite me to drink many kinds of expensive alcohol. However, I still find whisky and soda the most delicious and rewarding."
"I like it too, but I'm not good at drinking... Eh?"
Sanezawa-kun realized as he looked at the packaging on the can.
Among the cans I gave him, there was one that was non-alcoholic.
"Eh..."
"Well... I've decided to avoid alcohol from now on."
I said.
"If you're serious about getting pregnant, it's best to avoid alcohol together."
Pregnant women cannot drink alcohol.
Although some people think that drinking 1-2 glasses a week during pregnancy is not a problem, not drinking alcohol is still the best choice.
"Ah, Sanezawa-kun, go ahead and drink, don't worry."
"Eh, I really can't... I'll take the non-alcoholic one, too. I'll drink it with you."
Sanezawa-kun shook his head. Even though I didn't accept it later, in the end, the two of us drank whisky and soda together.
...Eh, that's fine too.
Even though my boss, who is me, said I should avoid alcohol, there's no reason why only one person should abstain.
What should I do? At first, I wanted to borrow some alcohol to change the atmosphere here, but if both of them are drinking non-alcoholic drinks, there's no way around it...
"Uh... Manager Monou, do you have any hobbies?"
Uh.
I don't know where he got the topic to ask me like that!
His question sounds like he wants to get closer to me.
He's starting to pay attention to me!
"Hobbies... well... I don't really have any hobbies... But when I want to improve my health on my days off, I go to the gym."
"Wow, that's great. It seems very much in line with your personality."
He praised me. What should I do? I feel happy, even if it's just a little.
But... actually I just paid the membership fee and didn't go to the gym. Paying the membership fee and doing nothing is my current situation. If I keep talking about this topic, it will be embarrassing!
"I... I also... Oh, right. Sometimes I watch videos about reptiles on my cell phone."
"Reptiles?"
Sanezawa-kun seems surprised.
Uh-oh. I got nervous and accidentally revealed my true hobby.
"Uh... Actually... I really like watching animals like lizards and snakes."
"..."
"There are many people who record videos of pet reptiles and upload them to the Internet. Usually they are leopard geckos or big savannah monitors... These channels about reptiles have a lot of followers."
"..."
"At first, I didn't like lizards, but my friends like to keep reptiles and I heard that they have dozens of them. As my friends talked, I listened intently... Before I knew it, I was addicted to watching these kinds of videos.
"..."
"Lizards are... interesting. First of all, they have a beautiful appearance, like dinosaurs, but their feeding behavior is extremely adorable... Also, although they are not as close to humans as mammalian pets, their aloofness is a very attractive trait..."
I tried my best to explain, but halfway through I suddenly realized:
Calm down, I realized I was rambling.
"I'm... I'm sorry. This subject must be boring."
Even I think I'm a very boring person.
Besides work, I don't have any other strengths, and my only interest is watching videos about reptiles.
Why does a woman in her 30s still feel so lonely?
Surely Sanezawa-kun doesn't like me anymore?
"No, not at all. I think Manager Monou's topic is very interesting."
He said that.
With an angelic smile.
"I was also surprised to see that you didn't match my first impression. But Manager Monou has become that way because you always want to improve yourself, even on your days off. So I find it very fascinating to discover a surprising aspect of your personal life. Hahahaha."
"..."
I feel warm inside.
Ah -- Sanezawa-kun really is a well-behaved boy.
When was the last time I talked about myself with someone?
As I get older, my relationships outside of work are diminishing.
When it's through work, it's easy to build strong relationships. But... I really don't know how to manage personal relationships. Friends outside of work are becoming scarce, with no new additions.
That's why... I feel like it's been a long time since I've had a conversation like this.
It's been a while since I felt moved and revealed my true self to someone else --
"..."
No, that's not right.
Not right at all.
Monou Yuiko, why do you think that?
Why do you think Sanezawa-kun is here?
He and I are not even friends, let alone lovers.
Just co-workers in the same company.
That's why I suggested having a child with him, and now we've gotten into this kind of relationship.
I just want his sperm.
He just wants my body.
This is the kind of relationship we should have without asking for too much.
I don't need that.
And it's not necessary.
I shouldn't ask for that.
...A couple in love drinking together before making love, slowly savoring the sweet intimacy. I never expected to go through such a process...
"Manager Monou, if there are any channels that show videos about lizards that are worth recommending, can you let me know? I'll watch them later."
"No, not really."
I said.
My voice was so soft it was hard to believe.
"Is that really what Sanezawa-kun wants me to say?"
I pressed myself against his body without waiting for an answer --
Trying to be the most seductive.
Trying to be the boldest.
So that a serious but still childlike person like Sanezawa-kun can easily start.
I must shed my hesitation and shame --
I lift my leg and straddle him.
