24iza_runAfter the dinner Ohno wash all the dishes alone while pouting.
“Why I’m washing all these dishes alone?”
“That’s your punishment for make Shoko-chan become so tanned!”
“But, Shoko-chan like it...”
“She’s a kid you know!”
“Alright guys, cut it already. She’s sleeping.”
“Sho-kun, no need to force yourself.”
“Eh?”
“You still can’t accept her as your daughter right?”
“Don’t worry, we’ll help you.”
“Just pretend like her Papa just for a little while Sho-san.”
“I thought I can do it. But...now I’m confused...and bit regret...with my own words...”
Sakurai close his eyes and lean back to the couch. The house become silent for a while before Aiba tries to hold a conversation.
“Ne,ne, who will accompany Shoko-chan tomorrow?”
“That’s right. We haven’t discussed about it.”
“Can I?”
“Let me take care of her. She doesn’t scare with me so I think there’s no problem.”
“Didn’t you just say you can’t get along with children this morning? She likes me, so I’ll take care of her tomorrow.”
“No,no, I want to play with her again.”
“NO. Just Continue with your work.”
Ohno pouted and back to the kitchen. Aiba, Ninomiya and Matsumoto keep arguing to each other. Suddenly, Sakurai stand up from the coach. The three arguing guys shock with Sakurai’s sudden movement.
“Let me take care of her tomorrow.”
“Eh? But, why?”
“Maybe I’ll found something about her real parents. She didn’t say anything when you guys asking her right? I am her Papa, so maybe she’ll tell me something.”
“Well, that’s true, but are you sure you can do this?”
“Yup,”
“I remember something.”
“What?”
“When I played ‘Aiba Sugoroku’ with Shoko-chan before, I’d ask something about her mother. Shoko-chan said that I shouldn’t say anything about Mama because Papa will cry when he heard about it.”
“Good information Aiba-chan.”
Ninomiya gives Aiba thumb up. Aiba just smile and they look back at Sakurai. At the same time, Ohno finish washing the dishes and come out from the kitchen. He sits on the floor and asking Matsumoto what just happened.
“Are you sure you can do it Sho-kun? That’ll be hard.”
“I’m sure.”
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The next morning.
“Ittekimasu~”
“Itterashai~”
The four guys leave the house after Shoko-chan gives them a peck. They keep talking about various things until they almost approach the school’s gate.
“I hope Sho-chan and Shoko-chan can get along very well.”
“Yup.”
“That’ll be hard.”
“You shouldn’t say that, leader. We should pray for Sho-kun’s luck.”
“No, I mean Aiba-chan.”
“Eh? Why me?”
“Sho-kun can’t cook right? So that’s why I said ‘That’ll be hard’. ‘That’ll be hard’ for Sho-kun to make breakfast and lunch.”
“So, when you asked ‘Are you sure you can do it Sho-kun?’ last night was?”
“I’m asking if Sho-kun really sure that he can cook for Shoko-chan.”
“But you just said that, ‘That’ll be hard’ words is for Aiba-chan.”
“Last night ‘That’ll be hard’ was for Sho-kun and today ‘That’ll be hard’ is for Aiba-chan.”
“But, why-”
“NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!”
“What happen Aiba-chan?”
“I understand what Oh-chan means now...”
“What?”
“MY KITCHEEEEEEN!!!!!!!”
“’That’ll be hard’ to clean it Aiba-chan...”
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
“Why we not having our breakfast at home Papa?”
“We’re running out of kitchen’s item Shoko-chan.”
The waitress comes with two plates of pancake and two glasses of fresh orange. Shoko-chan eats it happily while Sakurai doesn’t touch his food at all. He’s thinking what he should explain to Aiba about his kitchen. No. It can’t be call as a kitchen now. He makes too much mess until he doesn’t know how to clean it up.
“Now I understand what Ohno-kun means...”
“Something is wrong Papa?”
“Nothing! It’s nothing... Where should we go Shoko-chan?”
“Can Shoko-chan play there?”
The little girl points at the playground in front of the cafe.
“After this meal okay?”
“Okay!”
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
“Papa!”
Sakurai wave back at the little girl. He sits on the playground’s bench and start looking around. Shoko-chan is playing see-saw with other girl.
“Can I sit here?”
“Sure.”
The woman sits besides Sakurai and waving back to her daughter.
“Your daughter?”
“Eh? Um, yes”
“I see... My name is Yonekura Ryoko, nice to meet you.”
“My name is Sakurai Sho, nice to meet you Yonekura-san.”
“How old she is?”
“5 years old.”
“She looks so cute.”
“Thank you. How about Yonekura-san daughter, how old she is?”
“4 years old... Sakurai-san daughter is older than mine, but Sakurai-san look younger than me.”
“That’s not true, Yonekura-san look so young!”
“Haha! Thank you! Where’s Sakurai-san wife?”
“I-I have... no wife.”
“...I’m sorry”
“No,no. It’s nothing.”
“Well, actually I am a single mother.”
“Eh?”
“I was divorce with my husband when she’s only a baby. I take care of her by myself until now.”
“Yonekura-san is so amazing.”
“Well, I just want to prove to my husband that I can take care of her by myself... But, Sakurai-san is amazing too!”
“Eh?”
“I think it’s more difficult to become a single father. Sakurai-san take care of her alone, that’s amazing!”
“Actually-”
Sakurai tells everything to Yonekura-san. He also tells her about his friends and his actual age.
“So Sakurai-san only a 3rd year student?!!”
“Please don’t call me with ‘–san’... Yes I am.”
“So she’s not Sakurai-kun daughter?”
“Actually she’s not.”
“Why she’s look tanned?”
“My friend brought her fishing yesterday...”
“Hahaha! I see... But, there must be some connection between both of you right?”
“Connection?”
“That’s right.”
“What Yonekura-san means?”
“Sakurai-kun didn’t leave her and brought her along. There must be a connection between both of you.”
“I still don’t get it.”
“Look, she’s not Sakurai-kun daughter right?”
“Yes, she’s not.”
“So why Sakurai-san brought her along? Sakurai-kun can leave her there on that night right?”
“But, the police officer didn’t hear me, so...”
“I don’t think so. There must be some connection between both of you.”
“I...I don’t know...”
Yonekura-san looking at her watch and start calling her daughter.
“I’m sorry Yonekura-san, but...what kind of connection Yonekura-san mean...I mean...like future daughter...”
“Hahaha! No, actually I also don’t know what kind of connection it is. But, what is important now, Sakurai-kun is Shoko-chan Papa. Hope both of you have a nice day!”
Yonekura-san wave to Shoko-chan and leave the playground while holding hand with her daughter.
“Papa? What’s wrong?”
“Nothing, Shoko-chan.”
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
“I’m so sorry Aiba-chan!”
“Well, it is...it is nothing-”
Aiba almost fall down before Ninomiya manage to catch him.
“Let us clean it, you just have a rest in the living room Aiba-chan.”
Ninomiya bring Aiba to the living room while Ohno bring a mop and a bucket of water from the toilet. The kitchen is full of mess. Broken eggs and flour on the floor, unwashed dishes in the sink, opened cans on the dinner table and many, many, many more masses.
“Did storm had happened in this kitchen?”
“Seems it is. Why you didn’t clean it Sho-san?”
“I want to clean it, but it’s become worst every time I tried.”
“Why you don’t just bring her to the cafe from earlier?”
“Well...Aiba-chan and leader cooked for her...So...”
“Alright. Let’s start cleaning from the floor.”
“I’m so sorry! Tonight all of us will eat outside! My treat!”
“That’s cool!”
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Sakurai puts Shoko-chan on the bed as gentle as he can. He covers the little girl with blanket and put her precious teddy bear beside her.
“She’s cute right?”
“Yup.”
“So, do you think you have any connection with her?”
“I don’t think so.”
“Really?”
“Yup.”
Matsumoto open the bedroom door and ready to go out from there. He stop when he saw Sakurai still standing at the same position while looking at the little girl.
“Something’s wrong Sho-san?”
(...)
“Sho-san?”
(...)
“Sho-”
“I think I’d met Shoko-chan before...sleeping...just like now...”
“Eh? Are you sure?”
“I’m sure but...I can’t remember anything about it.”
“So, what make you so sure?”
“I...don’t know.”
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
>Sorry, it’s a bit long...
>Yonekura-san think Sho has a connection with Shoko-chan and Sho realize he’d met Shoko-chan before...what will be happen next....
