Masho no Otoko wo Mezashimasu

Chapter 76

76. Runaway

After the meeting at school, I went back home.

Although it was evening in terms of time, the sun was still high and the surroundings were bright, probably because summer was approaching.

I bought a meat bun sold in front of a Chinese restaurant on my way home and walked while eating. This meat bun was small and just the right size when you’re hungry, and it was sold for 100 Jenni each, making it a popular product for children and adults alike.

Recently, I often went to buy in person, so the people in the shop was not surprised when a man came to buy. And It made me felt very comfortable somehow.

I bought two meat buns, but even if I ate two, I still could eat dinner properly. I finished eating the first one, so I tried to put my hand in the bag to eat the second one, but suddenly I saw something interesting.

It was just past the side of the park. It was a small park with only one person at that time, and it was a quiet place with few people on the road. What caught my eye in such a place was a boy. The boy was on a swing alone in an unpopular park and was fading into the dusk. The boy… looked like thirteen or fourteen years old. And the boy was quite good-looking.

The expression of the boy, which was still young but had a sorrowful look, was somewhat sensual and made me think that if there was a woman here, it would surely attract the eyes.

…Is he a junior high school student…?

I looked around,

……Nobody is here.

… only one boy who is fading into the dusk.

he won’t be kidnapped, right?… No matter how many women in this world have a ‘good manner’, I’m sure there are still crimes.

Hmm… I’m strangely worried about him that I can just leave him be.

…For the time being, should I try to call him out? If he seems to be annoyed, I’ll just leave him be?

When I decided what to do, I went into the park and approached the swing with the boy.

The boy didn’t seem to notice at all. It seemed that he was thinking about something.

“You should go home because the sun will soon set.”

When I called out to the boy, he shook his body and turned his gaze at me. And when he saw me, he looked relieved and took a breath.

“Thank you for your concern.”

Oooh! he’s polite.

“But I don’t want to go home now…”

It seemed that there was something unpleasant at home.

“I see, but I don’t think you can stay here forever?”

“…………”

“Well, since I met you here, this maybe some kind of fate, so if you have any problems, you could tell me… Ah, of course I’m not forcing you….. well, if you’re okay with this, here is a meat bun, it’s delicious.”

The boy who received the meat bun in a confused manner looked at me and the meat bun alternately, and after a while, he bit into it.

“……Delicious”

“Right? it’s quite a popular meat bun.”

After that, the boy seemed to be a little lost about something, but he decided to talk somehow… and little by little he started talking.
