Episode 6 – Tatsumi Mirei

It was getting dark, so I stopped working on the report and moved on to making dinner.

Even when I cook rice, it is not to make something particularly tasty, but rather to stir-fry vegetables, cook rice, and make miso soup, even if it tastes a little bad, just from a nutritional standpoint.

“Well, I guess I’ll just cook one pot as usual…”

I was lightly washing the rice when I suddenly noticed something unusual.

There is a rattling sound at the front door.

“This sound is ……”

It is not a home delivery. If it was a home delivery, he would have pressed the intercom first.

I mean, the only people I know who would barge into someone’s room and try to enter without ringing the intercom are the thief and this person.

“Mirei? Hold on a minute!”

I hurriedly wipe my hands and head to open the door.

I opened the door and there was the person I had envisioned.

Her long, river-like vivid black hair and the guitar she carries on her shoulder. All of these can be called trend marks of Tatsumi Mirei.

“Too slow.”
“I don’t think it’s ever too late to open the door for someone who comes to someone’s room…..”
“Quick”
“Yes yes”

She is supposed to be older than me, but this lack of communication conversation is..

However, this is normal for her, so I don’t even point it out to her and bring her up to the door.

Then, without any approval from the landlord, she put down her guitar at random and began to relax on the sofa.

“Haa……It’s finee”

When I tried to resume making dinner without worrying about it, Mirei called out to me.

“Dinner?”
“Ah, yeah. I thought it was time for dinner.”
“I’m hungry, too.”
“……….”

Too…what’s with [too] !

“Since when did I become your servant?”
“Shut up. I’m hungry. quick.”
“Ahhhhhh!!! Okay !”

I give up to Mirei who seems to be able to break in anyway

“Instead, you just sit back and wait!”

I have no choice but to cook two cups of rice. It does not take that much time to cook two servings of rice.

However, it does not seem good that I feel I am allowing too much selfishness.

“I mean, I told you not to come over to my house too often, didn’t I?”

While eating dinner, I was at a loss for a topic, so I said what I had been wanting to say since Mirei’s arrival.

I have told her not to come to my house, and I don’t mean just a few times. I have told her dozens of times, maybe even hundreds of times.

However, she was still pouting when she heard what I had to say, and continued to eat her food without paying attention to me.

“Delicious”
“Thanks, but not that ! I’ve told you before, you had the same reaction before!”
”So Rin, shut up.”
“Don’t give me that !”

This is the one that’s really persistent. She won’t listen even if I tell her.

I let out a sigh.

“I understand, Mouu, Next time you come over, send me an email or something.”
“Yess”

This lack of formality. Contrary to its adult-like appearance on the outside, few people may know how childish it is on the inside.

Tatsumi Mirei

She made her debut as a high school student about five years ago. She first debuted with an anime song, but later her popularity exploded when she sang the theme song for a famous TV drama.

I took advantage of the peak of her popularity and offered her a song. But I was offered the song by her manager.

She writes her own lyrics, but recently she has become interested in composing music and comes to my house to watch me compose and ask me questions.

Like the actress Kotoha, she too has been on TV and her face has been selling well, so she should not go into a man’s house too often, but she does not listen to me.

She is also incredibly beautiful, and although she is two years older than me, she is even hotter than me, so it is awkward for me to be in the same room with her.

–Well, I’m a man, too, you know.

“Rin, you have stopped eating. Do you want me to feed it to you?”
“No, I don’t want it! You eat quickly and go home!”
“I brought a sleeping bag, so I’ll stay.”
“Haa!? Well, of course you can’t have a man and a woman in the same room!”
“Don’t worry about it.”

No, you can’t do that. …… I’d care. ……

“A-All right, if you insist on sleeping here, I’ll leave! I’ll go to the nearest hotel.”
“But Rin, you can’t afford it.”
“Shut up! Who’s fault is it that I have to leave!”
“I’d give you money.”

I thought we were having a silly argument, and suddenly Mirei mumbled something lonely.

But this story was also repeated.

“I told you before, I don’t need the money. Most college students are on a tight budget to begin with. It’s only natural that they don’t have money.”
“But thanks to Rin, we sold a lot.”
“That’s exactly what’s wrong with you. You’re the one who made the sale.”

There is no doubt about this. She has certainly won popularity on her own.

But Mirei continues, with a stern look on her face.

“But Rin, you didn’t let me sing that song last time.”
“Hmm?”

Hmm? Huh? Now the mood got pretty serious for a moment, didn’t it? What are you going to say there?

I mean…

“You’re still resenting me for that!”
“It’s obvious. I’ll resent you for the rest of my life.”

Quite a few complaint e-mails were received from Mirei, but it seems that the dust had not yet settled. What…….

“Quickly, make my music.”
“That’s why I’m not your servant!”

So that was a disaster, as I had to work hard that day on a song, and Mirei could see me doing it all the time.

Of course, I haven’t slept a wink.
