(Totsuka P.O.V)
A few days. I've known Nanami-san for a few days now. Ever since that meeting, that destined meeting according to Nanami-san, I have been getting to know her quite well. She's a nice girl. She thinks that I'm her Master when I've completely denied those several times before. I don't want her to think that I'm her Master. If roles were reversed, would she think the same as I? Would she want to be my Master? If I know her then I know that she wouldn't want to think like that.
"Good morning Totsuka-sama. I have prepared breakfast."
Nanami-san came into… our room and spoke in a happy tone. Even though it really is against the rules, Nanami-san lives here. I can't really have other tenants living here, let alone a girl. I don't even want to think about what the landlord would do if he knew that I had a girl living here. That's why we have to be careful when we leave and enter the apartment.
It wouldn't be good if the landlord found out about Nanami-san. I'm only 16 years old after all. Having a girl in here isn't good. N-Not that we would do things like that because we haven't known one another long, but most would jump to the wrong conclusion. I know that I would if I was watching someone else my age sleeping in the same apartment as a beautiful girl. To me, Nanami-san is very beautiful.
"A-Ah, thank you very much Nanami-san. I will be right out."
"Okay! Come out when you're ready!"
She's full of energy. I will give her that. Nanami-san is always up before me and we go to bed at the same time. At first, Nanami-san wanted to share a bed with me, but I convinced her that it wouldn't be good if I shared a bed with her. For one, she's a girl! A boy and a girl shouldn't share a bed after only knowing one another for a few hours. But that's the thing. Nanami-san sneaks into my bed during the night and sleeps with her head on my chest.
I threw the covers off my bed, and I started getting dressed myself once picking my clothes off the floor. Today is a school day. That's right, I have to tell Nanami-san about that. I can't have her come to school with me as it… wouldn't be good. Just think what everyone else would think.
When I finished getting dressed into my uniform, which is like a middle schooler's size, I went out of the bedroom and towards the living room. Since this apartment isn't all that big, I made it to the living room within seconds.
I got there and saw that the table was set. Nanami-san is an amazing cook if I do say so myself. I sat at the table and looked at this spread. It's too good. She always spoils me with spreads like this.
I looked to Nanami-san who was looking at me with expectation on her face. The expectation that if I don't say that it is good, it will crush her. I know this looks all too well by now. Nanami-sans's face seems to be sad as I've not said anything yet! P-Please don't be so sad Nanami-san!
"This looks great Nanami-san! As always, you have made a lovely breakfast!"
Her face did a 180 from sad to extremely happy! Ehehe, this girl surely is very strange indeed. But it's kind of strange. A strange that I lo… like very much. I couldn't say that other word. It's strange but I feel… I feel like I can feel Nanami-sans emotions. When she is sad, when she is angry, when she is happy, when she is insecure. Basically a wide range of emotions.
"I-I am glad that Totsuka-sama thinks that I have made a lovely breakfast!"
I picked up some chopsticks and took a tiny bit of pork and placed it in my mouth and started eating it, savouring the amazing taste of the pork and its juices. Nanami-san is just watching me eat with fascination. I know that she eats as I've seen her before but she doesn't really do it until I say that she should eat.
"Nanami-san, you can eat now you know?"
"Y-Yes! Of course!"
Nanami-san roughly picked up some chopsticks and dug into the food strongly.
"Nanami-san, you know that I have to go to school today."
"S-School? Right! Totsuka-sama is of that age where you attend school after all!"
"Well, it isn't compulsory as it is in high school but I still want to get a better education after all. If it was another country then… well, you know. Erm, now Nanami-san..."
I trailed off, not really knowing how to start this off. How do I tell a girl that follows me around everywhere that she can't follow me to school? It would raise too many questions and I don't want everyone to ask about it. Then again, it isn't like many talk to me in the first place. And if they do, it's usually just to pick on me or something.
"Yes Ashikabi-sama?"
"...You can't come to school with me."
When I muttered that out, it seems to have made her world crash down around her!
"I… Totsuka-sama doesn't w-want me to… c-come with him b-because he… doesn't want me t-to… meet his friends because he is embarrassed of me..."
I threw my hands up in defence of what she just said!
"N-NO! IT ISN'T THAT!"
Crap! Now I'm yelling! I took a few calming breaths then spoke in a more civilized tone.
"Nanami-san. It isn't that at all. I don't actually have many friends so, there's not much you are missing. I just can't take you to school today because… well, it would raise so many questions that I couldn't possibly answer anyway."
"But… if I can't go with you then… what should I do?"
"Anything you like. Go out and have fun. Just don't get into trouble and you can do what you like."
"Oh… okay Totsuka-sama. But I will really miss you."
D-Damn you Nanami-san! Saying something so sweet like that! And even giving me the glittering eyes of a saint! Seriously, this girl has too much cuteness on her side! I hate her for her cuteness and I love her for her cuteness! I can't decide which is stronger!
"I-I will miss you as well." I admitted with embarrassment. I didn't think that I would admit something like that to her.
"I'm happy and sad now! Totsuka-sama is going to school so… I will clean the apartment! Yes, that's what I will do!"
"Eh… you don't have to do that Nanami-san. You can do what you..."
But before I could finish, she stood up and went into the kitchen. I-I guess that I shouldn't stop a Sekirei when they are on a mission. She had the fire in her eyes and I am not getting mixed up with that kind of determination.
So I just continued to eat my breakfast as I heard some "Dammit!" and "Ooh! That's clean!" yeah they don't really go with one another huh. Ehehe, I guess when Nanami-san said that Sekirei are all different like humans is true. I can honestly say that I've never come across a girl like her before.
After I finished my breakfast, I went into the kitchen to clean the plates but Nanami-san came in and stopped me from doing it.
"Leave that to me Totsuka-sama. I can take care of that."
"It's okay..."
"No! Go to school Totsuka-sama. I will take care of Totsuka-sama's home while he is away."
"If you're sure..."
She nodded at me. I guess that I will just go along with her. I went into the fridge and got out my bento. I left the kitchen area and went into the living room again. I grabbed my bag from the corner and then I got on my shoes. Since it's a warm day, I won't wear a coat.
"I'm going Nanami-san! I'll be back later!"
"Okay! Goodbye Totsuka-sama!"
So with that, I left the apartment. Once outside, I raised a hand to my forehead. It really is hot today. Scorching even. It's really hot! But I can't think about that. I look to my left, then I go in that direction. That's the direction of my school. It takes about 30 minutes to walk to school.
But it's nice to just walk to school. Taking in the sights. Even if they are the same as always. I sometimes come across people that say nice things to me. But it's only generic stuff. I'm fine with that though. I don't mind if it's generic.
