Chapter 155: I don't want Miyagi to know about this — 155

The weather was bad even though it was Saturday night.
I open the curtains a little and look outside. The wind is blowing so hard that I think a typhoon is coming, and the rain is pounding the windowpane with such force that I wonder if it is a typhoon. Outside the window, where only a street lamp stands lonely, it looks as if zombies or something could be walking around. If I go outside now, I might run into something other than people.
I close the curtains, thinking of something that might make Miyagi angry if she hears it.
「I think, I’ll just watch a movie.」
The weather forecast is for rain tomorrow, and there’s nothing to do when you wake up early, so I turned on my tablet. I get my earphones ready and play a horror movie. It’s perfect for nights like this.
It would be nice if I could invite Miyagi to watch it with me, but if I let her watch a horror movie, she would surely resent me for the rest of her life. Besides, it seems unlikely that Miyagi would come to my room in the middle of the night like this.
Within thirty minutes of starting playback, I was thirsty.
As I pour a glass of barley tea in the common area and return to my room, I hear a heavy rumbling sound coming from outside the window. It was clearly the sound of thunder, and after clearing my throat I opened the curtains a bit to see the sky glowing in the distance.
「I thought Miyagi was safe from thunderstorms.」
From memory, I think I heard that she was not good at it in high school.
I look at the clock.
It’s time to go to bed.
If she was asleep without noticing the lightning, I will wake her up. When I think about it, I feel like I shouldn’t go check on her.
But I am concerned about Miyagi.
I go around the room.
Today I had a dream.
It was a dream in which the part that had been deceptive until now became clear, and it was somehow difficult to go to Miyagi’s room. I no longer have trouble making eye contact, but I feel restless.
Low sounds can be heard intermittently from outside.
.
I wonder for a few minutes what to do.
In the end, I don’t have the option of not going, so I go to the front of Miyagi’s room.
I took two deep breaths.
With one tap on the door.
Miyagi doesn’t answer.
Maybe she is sleeping after all.
I think I should go back, but I can’t move my legs to think about what would have happened if I had stayed awake. I’m worried, I want to see her face, and I still feel like I shouldn’t see her face. Lost again after being lost before I left the room, I slammed the door harder than before.
One time, two times.
I waited a bit, but Miyagi didn’t come out.
As I was about to give up and go back to my room, the door opened.
「…Sendai-san, are you still awake?」
Miyagi, dressed in a sweatshirt, says in a sleepy but not cumbersome voice.
「I was watching a movie. Miyagi, are you okay with thunder?」
「I’m okay.」
「Didn’t you say before that you weren’t good at that?」
「…I’m not good at it, but I’m not afraid of it.」
Miyagi, who says so, appears to look much the same as usual. Even when she hears a rumbling sound, her complexion doesn’t seem to change.
「I see. That’s good.」
I am relieved and disappointed.
