Am I being simulated by their love affair?

"However, the librarian position should be filled. The hours are relatively flexible, and even those with no experience can easily get started."

"Really?" The girl asked, her expression showing interest.

"Really." The boy laughed, with a hint of teasing.

"Because I'm resigning today."

Chapter 769 Things About Leaving the Job

Even at 3:20 p.m., when the school bell rang for Haneoka High School to let out, the sky over Mitaka City still showed no signs of clearing up or warming up.

The teacher walked out the front door, and a series of noises rose from the classroom of Class 6, Grade 3, temporarily drowning out the sound of the wind outside the window.

After tidying up her desk, Mochizuki Haruka drew the curtain next to her seat and walked to the boy in the seat to her right.

"Is Songzhi going to her part-time job today?"

Since moving back into the apartment, she no longer attends the two after-school study sessions for third-year students.

If Matsugi is free, go home with him. If the boy is not free, go shopping in Shibuya with the girls, or go back to the manor to find your aunt first.

“Of course I have to take a part-time job.” Jun Matsue fastened the uniform bag that was standing on the table.

"It's just a bit windy. It's even colder in winter, but we still have to work part-time."

"As long as the two of you are together, you won't feel the cold at all!"

A girl's soft voice came from behind the boy. Mochizuki Haruka frowned slightly as she looked at Tomatsu Yuka who was approaching.

How will you get there?

It was windy and cold today, so Jun Matsue didn't ride his bike to school. Instead, the two of them rode in the Mochizuki family's car.

“Just take the tram,” Tomatsu Yuka replied with a smile.

"Including walking time, half an hour is enough. We can make it if we leave now."

"..." Mochizuki Haruka glared at her, then turned to look at Matsueda Jun.

"I'll take you to the station."

A few minutes later, the unassuming black sedan stopped in front of Kugayama Station. The girl with flowing black hair opened the passenger door, turned around, and bowed slightly to the people inside the car.

"Thank you, Mochizuki-kun~"

"Don't misunderstand." Mochizuki Haruka in the back seat rolled her eyes at her, looking past the person next to her.

"I just didn't want the pine branches to freeze on the road."

The girl's tone seemed to mock her incompetence, but Tomatsu Yuka smiled with her lips pursed, her expression remaining unchanged.

Jun Matsue patted the thigh of the person next to him, and Haruka Mochizuki naturally leaned back in her chair. The boy picked up his bag, stood up, and looked back at her.

"I'll go to my part-time job now, see you tonight."

"Come home early after get off work." The girl pouted. "Don't wander around outside."

"Okay." He smiled and waved through the car window. "It's getting cold, so wear more clothes even at home."

"understood."

Watching the black sedan drive to the other side of the road, Jun Matsueda turned around and walked into the station with the girl who was waiting for him.

Tomatsu Yuka switched the handbag to her other hand and affectionately took his arm.

"It seems like Tsunuk and Mochizuki's relationship has suddenly become very good again."

The girl stepped onto the stairs and looked at the turnstiles at the station entrance.

"Our relationship is even better than before."

The boy blinked. "Mochizuki's willing to give herself to him, it's hard for their relationship not to change..."

"Really?" Of course, he wouldn't say it out loud.

“Yes, I can feel it very clearly.” Tomatsu Yuka let go of his arm and followed him through the turnstile.

"The distance between you, the physical contact, and that very natural conversation like just now..."

"I'm a little envious~"

The girl's tone was tinged with jealousy, and Matsueda Jun turned his head and instinctively tightened his grip on her small hand.

"I'm sorry, I got a little carried away and didn't consider Yuka's feelings."

Although he has managed to secure two boats for now, if the small boats facing each other on the river were to be brought together close together, there would still be a risk of them capsizing and sinking.

"No need for that~" Tomatsu Yuka smiled and shook her head, walking with the boy into the platform passageway filled with trench coats and overcoats.

"I just took the opportunity to act cute, I wasn't that sad—after all, that's the kind of relationship we have, it's impossible to completely separate our lives and ignore each other."

The "we" she referred to wasn't just herself and Tsunkun, but the sum of this unhealthy relationship—currently, it included Hikari Yuuki, and perhaps later, it would also include Yosei Sang and...

Looking at the cold sunlight outside the passage exit, the girl's eyes flickered slightly.

It seems that Tsunku no longer holds a grudge about his past with Yamami-senpai...

"Are you really not bothered?" Jun Matsuoka looked at her face. "It's okay if you just say it directly, so I can better control the situation."

"It's really nothing~" Tomatsu Yuka shook their clasped hands.

"Aren't we holding hands lovingly right now?"

They were just in the Mochizuki family's car, which was Mochizuki Haruka's home turf—if she had to hold a grudge over such a small thing, she wouldn't have been able to endure it when the girl was still her "nominal girlfriend."

"Hmm." The relaxed boy walked onto the platform and looked at the magnified lights on the distant railway tracks.

"In short, if Yuhua has any thoughts or feelings, don't keep them to yourself, just tell me in time."

"Okay~" Tomatsu Yuka's eyes became even sweeter.

She nestled against the boy's shoulder, watching the slowing tram stop in front of the platform—the wind it created blew across the girl's skirt, making her hold her beloved's arm even tighter.

Stepping into the carriage, it was still quite early for Tokyo's rush hour. The two sat down on the edge of a bench, accepting the stares of other passengers with composure.

Tomatsu Yuka covered her lap with her uniform bag, then placed her left hand, which she was holding, on it and began to stroke and play with the boy's fingers with great interest.

"If that's the case, I also want to live with Jun-kun like Mochizuki."

"I can know whether Jun-kun is dressed warmly or lightly, I can go to and from school with Jun-kun, I can do whatever I want..."

The girl spoke her last point very softly. Jun Matsue moved his fingers, which were being played with, and pinched her fingertips.

"Sitting on the sofa in winter, snuggled up next to Tsunkun, watching TV and dozing off—it sounds so cozy!"

"..." The boy looked at her pure and flawless profile and said, "It seems a little difficult to achieve this before graduation."

Tomatsu Yuka blinked and looked up.

"So there will be opportunities after graduation?"

"Probably." Jun Matsueda looked at the scenery rushing past the opposite car window.

"After all, I'll be renting a new place for university. Even if I can't share a place, I should at least be next-door neighbors."

"Right!" The girl's eyes were instantly filled with a sparkling, candy-colored light. "That's what I thought too!"

The boy nodded. "We'll take our time to choose after the university entrance exams are over."

"Okay~" Tomatsu Yuka interlocked her fingers with the large hand on her leg. "I've already looked at quite a few houses~"

"Ah, but if we add Mochizuki, I feel like we'll have to reconsider the room type."

She turned her head to the side again, "There are only two seats left for the neighbors, won't that be enough?"

Jun Matsue blinked helplessly.

"I don't think it's that bad..."

There are many things to consider when renting a place, but there's still a long way to go, so let's focus on the things in front of us first.

After getting off at Mingdaemae Station, they walked to the other platform to transfer to the Keio Line. A dozen minutes later, the young man and woman walked out of Rohwa Park Station on time, only a little slower than usual.

The station is 500 meters away from the Setagaya Literature Museum. Although the journey is not long, without the Mochizuki family's car, the cold wind is finally unavoidable.

Jun Matsue put his arm around the girl's shoulder to protect her from the cold wind. Tomatsu's long hair was held down by his arm, preventing it from fluttering in the air like a Gorgon's.

After walking a few short steps and pushing open the door of the literature museum, the whistling wind was blocked outside. Tomatsu Yuka relaxed her shoulders and looked up in surprise.

"The heating's on today!"

“It really should be opened.” Jun Matsue looked at the girl who was lightly stomping her feet and reached out to cover her cheeks, which were being cooled by the wind.

"There are already few visitors in this kind of weather. If you come in to a spacious, chilly place, you might as well go to the coffee shop and spend the afternoon there."

Tomatsu Yuka smiled and said, "I'll go buy two discounted coffees. Tsunku, go to your workstation first."

"it is good."

The girl continued down the corridor, while the boy turned and went into the library—the young woman behind the counter had just taken off her librarian apron and waved to him.

"Matsueda-kun is here! Where's Yuuka-chan?"

Jun Matsue smiled reservedly, "She went to buy coffee, she'll be there soon."

"I see." The woman stepped out from behind the counter, making room for him.

"I heard you're leaving today?"

"Yes." The boy took off his coat and hung it on the back of the chair, then deftly put on his apron.

"The common exam is in two months, so we're thinking of putting our part-time jobs on hold and focusing on our studies."

“That’s right.” The woman leaned against the counter and looked at him. “You two are obviously top students, you should get into a good university.”

Matsueda Jun sent Mochizuki a message that he had arrived safely. He looked up, and the smile on his face became more sincere.

"Thank you for your blessing, Ms. Chiyoko."

"..." The boy quickly lowered his head and got back to work, but Ms. Chiyoko continued to stare at his profile.

"What a pity, I didn't live to see you and Yuka break up."

Jun Matsue paused for a moment, then continued working.

"When we first met, we weren't very familiar with each other, so I didn't dare to take the initiative. But not long after, Yuuka-chan showed up..."

As soon as the woman finished speaking, the glass door of the literature museum was pushed open, and she turned around—Tomoka Tomatsu, holding two cups of coffee, walked over.

"If an opportunity arises, you have to seize it..."

She sighed, turned and walked away without looking back, brushing past the girl.

"Good luck on your exam, Yuuka-chan!"

Thank you~

Tomatsu Yuka walked behind the counter with coffee, and the boy opened the counter door for her. The girl glanced back at him.

"Is Ms. Chiyoko on the early shift today?"

Jun Matsue nodded. "They probably switched with someone else at the last minute."

"Hmm." The girl put down her coffee, turned around, picked up her uniform apron, and put it on.

Did she say something to you?

The boy casually picked up a cup of coffee and took a sip; it was a sweet mocha.

"He said he liked me, but unfortunately there was no chance for us to be together."

Tomatsu Tomohana smiled confidently and picked up another cup of coffee.

"I knew it!"

Matsueda Jun sat down. "So that's why you got on good terms with her before?"

The girl smiled and winked. "Since they are potential enemies, it's definitely necessary to understand them."

"Terrible~"

Hearing the boy's exclamation, her expression became even more lively and playful, like a cunning little devil tempting one to fall into depravity.

"It's because Tsunkun is so popular~"

My last afternoon working at the Setagaya Literature Museum was nothing special—if I had to say, the weather was bad and there were very few visitors coming into the library.
