Drive date?

End of homeroom.

After thirty minutes of fruitful chit-chat time, I headed for the elevator exit and was stopped by our homeroom teacher, Umenaka.

"Oojirou, where have you been all afternoon? I heard from the other teachers that you were nowhere to be found.”

"Uh..."

There was no way I could honestly say that I was playing card games with the student council president. I'll just have to fake it.

"I was sick...."

"Well, if you were sick, that's no problem. As I recall, Oojirou, you are working part-time as a programmer. Do you work until late at night?"

“Yeah, well.....”

"Take it easy. Don't overdo it. Your body is your asset, so take extra care of yourself.”

I feel like he's really concerned about me.

I don't know why. But it's true, according to the school rules, if you want to work part-time, you have to declare it. So, the homeroom teacher has made a proper proposal. I understand that much, but ...... hmmm.

"Oh, um, sensei......”

"Hey, I was talking to someone who's related to you at the gate.”

"Someone related to me?”

"Uh... what did you say? I think her name is Haruka, she's beautiful with black hair. You're a beautiful woman!　Even though Lydia is around, you are still an adolescent ......."

A hand is placed on my shoulder, and Umenaka leaves with a satisfied look on his face. ......  What? Wait a minute. ...... That black-haired beauty, Haruka, cannot possibly be...!!

"Lydia! I'm going to go to the gate right now!!”

" ...... Oh, okay."

I quickly changed my shoes and headed to the gate.

Then there was a super cool Maybach S Class parked at the gate. ...... Wow, there's no doubt about it. I can't believe they followed me to this place!

"......"

"Hey, Oojirou. That car is so cool and awesome. I wonder why it's parked in front of the school~?"

Lida, who didn't know what was going on, tilted her head.

That's right, that's right.

Just as I was about to give up on the idea, a woman in a well-cut suit appeared from inside the car. It was Haruka .......

" Hello, Oojirou-kun.”

"......Oh, it's been a while. ......"

I'm sweating like a waterfall from my forehead. My hands are sweating too.

"...... Oojirou? Who is this woman?”
" This is the person who gives me programming work. She's called Haruka Shinonome, and she's sort of my boss ......, but she's also the president of the company.”

"The president!?"

Haruka smiled and turned to face Lida.

"It's nice to meet you, Lydia. I've heard about you from Oojirou-kun. I'll give you a lift to your apartment in front of Bentenjima Station, so get in..."

"Oh! I'm allowed to ride in this car!?”

"Sure. Don't just stand there, Oojirou-kun, get in.”

" ...... Yes.”

I'm in for a big surprise.

I got into the back seat of the Maybach. What a different level of comfort. This is an experience that may or may not last a lifetime.

I did a little research on this car, and it seems to cost 30 million yen. That's an amazing amount of money! As expected of the president, she must be making a lot of money, I thought.

As the car started to drive away, Haruka, in a good mood, started to talk to me.

"Thank you for all the work you've done for me lately, Oojirou-kun.”

"No, I'm just grateful that you're offering me a job. I never thought I'd be able to help, but thanks to you I'm living in an apartment and I'm really grateful.”

"Well, in a way, I'm the reason you and Lydia are living together, aren't I?"

"But ......! How do you know about our living together? I didn't tell you that much!”

"The other day, I went to visit you at your apartment, but you weren't there, so I was just going to leave, but an old foreigner I met, told me all about their relationship. That's why."

Old foreigner?

That's ...... that's ......

It's Lida's grandfather!!!!
