"I can see why." I say, leaning my chest back, stretching, with both hands on my hips.
"...It's already getting dark out." Serika says, looking towards the sky. "Let's head back, Sensei."
"Sounds like a plan." I say, smiling.
—————
And so, the two of us hobbled toward our homes. Though, I made a detour to donate the money to Abydos once more.
As soon as I got back, I showered the dirt and sweat off, making sure to take extra time to relax under the warm water.
All good things come to an end, sadly, as I hopped out of the shower after a while.
Sitting on the couch in a t-shirt and some loose pajama pants, I hear my phone ding again, due to a text from Serika.
I've been bending over all day. I feel like my back is about to break.
How's your back, Sensei?
Sore.
I thought soaking in the bathtub might help.
So, ewiks,xc-z
Huh?
AAAAAA
Serika then sends me a picture of what looks like her legs, or perhaps her arms over the water of a drawn bath, but the whole thing is distorted due to motion blur.
I quickly delete it.
I almost dropped my phone in the tub!
Bringing my phone to the bath was probably a bad idea...
Well, now you know.
See you later, Sensei.
Yeah, later.
And don't worry, I deleted the picture.
Huh?
Ahhhh! How did you get that photo?
D-Don't look! Don't look!
Already deleted it, dummy.
I'll kill you! I'm going to check your phone later!
Delete it! All right?
I'm gonna check it later!
Aaaaand, she's not listening.
Chuckling, I lay my phone down and get ready to make some dinner.
—————
And so, the next day arrived. Hoshino and I agreed to meet up at Abydos at a bit after lunch, since she had something to do in the morning.
That morning, however, I had nothing to do.
This was remedied by a text from Nonomi.
Sensei!
The text she sent also has a little star emoji next to it.
If you have time today, can you come shopping with me?
Shopping, eh? I'm free this morning, so why not?
Wow!
It's a date!
No, it's just shopping. Shopping!
I'll be waiting for you.
Well, looks like I'll be busy in the vicinity of my destination for later.
