-Chapter 6: Rage-
Matoi kept to Nozomu's shoulder, looking out for a glimpse of Kiri. It was harder than it looks to try to spot a hikkomori while trying to keep track of your boyfriend, much harder. Matoi did not relent though, she wanted no obstacles. Kiri was a large one, because she could just sense that she wanted him too. Matoi cringed at the thought of even talking to such a girl that would even think of taking Nozomu, let alone even falling in love with him too. Her fists clenched every time she thought about such a girl.
After school, Nozomu finally finished his lecture, and left the homeroom, but instead of just leaving, he got a set of printouts and went the opposite way towards the exit. Curious, Matoi followed him further. He stopped at the night duty room. He knocks on the door, holding the printouts.
"Komori-san, I have the work for today. School is over." Nozomu said, as if this was an everyday matter. Matoi stopped breathing for a moment. The sound of chains came from behind the door, and it slid open. A girl, about 5 feet in height answered the door. She had red eyes, pale (almost white) skin, and long black hair that went down to her stomach. The girl had a brown blanket over her clothes, which was the gym uniform. Matoi snickered to herself; Nozomu would never go for THAT freak. He's just giving some notes to his recluse student. Matoi identified her as Kiri Komori.
"Oh, thanks a lot! Do you want to come in for lunch?" Kiri asked, completely casually. Matoi gasped silently. That girl had the nerve to ask him, MY love, to come in for a meal. That disgrace! To Matoi's disgust, Nozomu walked in. The night duty room was decorated to be a living space. She then saw Majiru, Nozomu's nephew, sitting at the table in the middle, with three places set. Matoi's blood boiled. Kiri was planning a date like situation with Nozomu and his nephew. She remembered with her mom's first boyfriend something along the lines of that. She remembered being at the kitchen table when she said this:
A way to a man's heart is through his stomach!
That Bastard Matoi thought. She knew Kiri was flirting with him. Nozomu sat down at the place adjacent to Majiru. At that point, Kiri spotted Matoi.
"Ah, I didn't see you come in. Would you like to sit down too?" Kiri asked. Matoi nodded yes, and Kiri got up to put down a place for her.
"Ah Nozomu, who is this?" Kiri asked, getting chopsticks and a napkin.
"This is Matoi Tsunetsuki, one of the students of my class." Nozomu answered casually. Matoi gave an awkward smirk.
"I-It's nice to meet you, Komori-san." Matoi managed to say without yelling any obstinacy at her, or throwing anything across the room. She looks so confident in herself. I can't wait to see her gone. Kiri finally gives Matoi her utensils and sits down with the food.
"Thanks Komori-san for the food, it tastes delicious." Nozomu sticks another taiyoyaki into his mouth. Matoi cringes to herself.
"Majiru-kun helped out, huh? He helped shape the balls." Majiru nodded with his mouth full. After about 30 minutes of awkward conversation, lunch was done.
"Since the last day before vacation is tomorrow, do you want me to move some of your stuff now?" Nozomu asked. Matoi got confused for a moment. Why did Kiri's stuff need to be moved? Kiri seemed taken aback by the offer.
"S-Sure… It won't be much trouble?"
"Oh no, after all it is already illegal to live in the school, and my home has some space."
"O-Oh thank you so very much." Matoi was ready to burst at that moment. Kiri, the one she wants so much to disappear, living at Nozomu's house for vacation? Matoi wanted to stand up and punch Kiri on the spot, but Matoi held back. She had separate plans for such a mistress that would dare sneak into Matoi's love life.
