Is that love?
Or devotion? .But. I have nothing else to do but to accept Megu’s thoughts.
Even I will continue to love you forever. Megu and Maika will always be my woman!
Maika looks at me.
Maika.is not a good girl. I’m selfish, foolish, and ill-natured
.That doesn’t matter.Maika is Maika! .Onii-san
In the corner of a lonely night supermarket.
The three of us embraces each other.
Chapter 119
119. A night for three
.It’s here
Minaho-neesan enters the car to an alley with bright neon lights.
Eh.Isn’t this?
Isn’t this the so-called love hotel alley?
There are suspicious lodging facilities lined up left and right. Lodgingand Restare shining brightly in the signboards. Also.FullVacantsigns
.Uwa! What’s this place?
The middle school girl raises her voice from the backseat.
Minaho-neesan had made a call earlier sayingCan we stay over your hotel?
Minaho-san.could it be that the hotel we’re going to stay in?
Minaho-neesan’s eye smiles at Megu.
That’s right, It’s a love hotel! I thought that it would be crowded because of the consecutive holidays but it’s rather not crowded
.It’s empty? Look, there’s a lot lights saying vacant, don’t you think?
.I see
There’s a lot of green ‘vacancy’ than the red ‘full occupancy’ on the hotels.
Well, the holiday this year have tomorrow as a weekday.something like that
I see.so that’s why it’s not crowded.
Err.It seems here!
Minaho-neesan mutters while looking up the hotel signboards around the center area of the alley.
Seriously.why name this building Hotel de Paris
Hotel De Paris? It’s the best hotel in Monaco. Well, there are similar hotels in the world other than Monaco.She took the name from the hotel in Monaco. Yoshida-kun, you do know Monaco, don’t you? Uhm.Isn’t it where the F1 goes round and round?
Minaho-neesan laughs.
Maika looks amazed.
Onii-san.It’s not that they do F1 there everyday!
Ah.Right
I surely thought that it was Monaco’s specialty.
Maika went to Monaco before. During our family summer vacation. It was when I was nine. We didn’t stay in Hotel de Paristhough
As expected of a rich lady.
Their family can travel abroad since the house is the director of an advertising agency.
Then.Papa went to a state casino and never come back until morning. He just sleeps during morning and doesn’t take us anywhere. Then, Onee-chan was so angry that it became trouble. Mama seems to have given up from the start though!
Maika’s eyes turned teary while she is speaking.
She seems to be remembering her family. .I
Hee! That’s amazing.Did Maika ride an airplane?
.Eh, Onii-san haven’t?
Maika looks at me with a blank face.
.No
Un.Never since I was born.
Ah, but I’ve seen them. When I was in elementary, we went to an airport during a field trip. Jumbo, it was really a Jumbo!
.What is that!
Maika laughs.
Her crying face turned to a smile in no time. Seriously.Middle school girls change their expressions immediately.
By the way, Minaho-san.It’s in China and yet why is the hotel named Paris?
I returned to the topic at hand.
.Eh?
Maika looks at me with a surprised face.
Let me ask this Onii-san.do you know where Monaco is?
Isn’t that obvious?
China.If I recall, it’s close to Hongkong
Maika and Megu looked at each other.
Megu whispers to me.
Yoshi-kun.That’s Macau
.Macau?
.Isn’t Macau Monaco?
.Eh, why? Look, Venezia and Venice are the same thing? Could it be that Yoshi-kun is thinking that Monaco and Macau are the same place? .It’s not?
Maika looks at me with frightening eyes then spoke.
.It’s completely different!
Eh? Well.aren’t they the one with Casinos and F1 races? Yoshida-kun, Macau does F3
Minaho-neesan taught me while smiling wryly.
.What’s different with F1 and F3?
I think it’s the size of the car or the performance of the engine.I don’t know much about it either. The people who race wanting to improve stepping up to F1 are F3. Katsuko likes that so ask her
.is that so?
Speaking of which, she’s amazing on the bike.even when driving a car, she goes in an amazing speed.1 During my car sex with Misuzu.
Seriously.Onii-san doesn’t know anything about it!
Maika’s angry.
.Sorry
It’s fine.It’s cute for Yoshida-kun to be ignorant on somethings
Minaho-neesan said while laughing.
Maika-san and Megumi too.teach Yoshida-kun a lot of things.Yoshida-kun never had someone to talk with all this time.
.Okay!
Megu responded to Minaho-neesan immediatley.
Eh.Onii-san doesn’t have friends?2
Err.Well
If I recall.friends I can talk lightheartedly are in the boy’s school in the mountain.
I don’t know where my elementary friends are.
You have me right now! Misuzu-san and the others as well
Megu shouted.
Therefore, it’s fine! Yoshi-kun won’t be alone!
.Megu.
Somehow, I feel like she’s praising me while making a fool of me. Maika.is looking at me with the face not knowing what’s going on. Well.I think there will be an opportunity to talk about myself someday.
Then.Let’s go with this Hotel de Paristhat doesn’t live up to it’s name
Minaho-neesan enters the car to the parking lot of the hotel.
In front of the parking lot of the love hotel, there’s a vinyl sheet cut like bamboo screen hang down from above. Passing trough the vinyl sheet.it feels like we’re passing through a waterfall, the car enters the parking lot. A third of the parking lot is filled
This is Maika’s first time entering a love hotel
.Even I’m the same .Even me
Megu said bashfully.
Let’s get off the car. Bring all of the luggage
Following Minaho-neesan.We got off the car.
A signboard on the wall says Hotel ReceptionFront Desk We go towards that direction.
Not there, Yoshida-kun!
.Eh?
But.They say this is the front Desk?
There’s no way you can go in a love hotel in your school uniform you know? There’s a middle schoolgirl too. If you bump into other guests at the front desk, what will you do?
While Minaho-neesan says that.she’s observing whether someone would enter from outside the parking lot.
.I see We stopped outside the hotel.was to not let someone see us enter the hotel, and to know the timing when there’s no person inside.
Anyway.Come this way. I was told that there’s a staff entrance at the other side of the building!
Carrying our luggage.we follow Minaho-neesan
Certainly.There’s a staff entrance. Minaho-neesan pushed the intercom
.Yees?
I can hear a voice of a high spirited woman.
.Ah, Minaho-chi. I’m opening it
.There must be a surveillance camera.
Minaho-neesan didn’t even say a word. Or rather.This voice. I feel like I’ve heard this before. The staff entrance opened immediately.
Ooh.I was waiting for you guys!
Appearing from inside is.Tamayo-san?
A former member of the mansion?
Now now, come in!
We were led to an office.
Though there’s a fluorescent lamp, it’s still a dim office. There’s a normal bureau and cashbox. .Time card too The interior was a reception desk of the hotel. There’s one old woman sitting in there.
.This is Tamayo-san’s hotel?
Megu asks decisively.
That’s right. This is my side business.Or rather, my job?
.Job?
I don’t earn that much by working as a stylist on the day. Then, I bought this with the money Minaho-chi has given me during my retirement. This is usually the time to leave this to the part timers. Today’s a free days so there’s no one but me and my mother. That was perfect timing!
