My Sweet Roomies Re-Written (Tegemi Mikahara/ Misaki Fujinaga Route

Chapter 21 - Support Group

Several days later.

Something has been bothering Tegemi lately.

Recently I've felt like Tegemi is getting more and more distant.

(I don't even know why I have no idea what I should do...)

I sit in the living room by myself, gazing dozily out the window.

"Hello!"

"Ah, Mina, is it just you?"

Miyoko and Raika come into the living room.

"Do you know what's been up with Tegemi lately?"

"I have been wondering that myself."

"So you noticed she's been acting a bit...off lately?" confirmed Raika

"Yes, I noticed it," I replied.

(it looks like everyone else senses it too.)

Miyoko and Raika just stood there and stare at me for a moment.

"What is it?"

"What is what?" I asked.

"Ever since the rainy season started, Tegemi's been really distant this whole time." Said Raika

"All the time?"

Just then...

The doorbell rang.

"Delivery!" said the delivery man outside the door.

"Did someone ordered something?"

Then Reimako runs out from the kitchen.

"It's alright, Mina, I'll get it."

She goes to the door and accepts the delivery.

When Rei returns to the living room.

"It's a delivery for Tegemi."

Just then Tegemi appears comes down stairs and appears in the living room.

"Tegemi, you have a package."

"Thank you, Rei."

Tegemi takes the parcel and looks at the invoice.

Then...

Her expression suddenly darkens.

(Who's it from? What's in the package?)

"Tegemi, whos' it from?"

"It's from my mother."

"Your mother? What could it be?"

She forces a laugh.

"I'm sorry, I have to take it back to my room."

(Oh it's that private.) "S-sorry I asked."

Then she heads back to her room leaving us wondering on the living room.

"It's probably a vibe."

"MIYOKO!" Raika and I shouted at her in unison.

"What's a vibe?" asked Rei innocently.

"But she's been off lately." Miyoko said with an irritating tone.

(That doesn't justify you assuming it's a vibe, is it?)

Rei looks worried as well.

"She seems even worse than normal this year."

"What do you mean Rei? Does this happen every rainy season."

"Yeah, it's kinda cold so vibe is....ooof!" she suddenly got cut by Raika throwing a pillow at her.

"Shut your dirty mouth, you woman." I said while throwing another pillow.

"Y-yes, I'm not sure why thought..." Rei continued.

It looks like no one knows the reason for it.

But...

I turn towards the others.

"Should we do something for her?"

The other two look wide- eyes at my suggestion.

"What do you mean, do something? Like help her with her vib –"

"Stop it with the vibe joke Miyoko." I replied.

"What I'm saying is maybe throw her a big dinner party or something."

I throw out some ideas out of the fly hoping they'll approve of it.

"That seems to be a good idea." Agreed Raika.

"Yeah, I can cook her favorite dish." Suggested Reimako.

"Yeah food! Let's do it! If we all have fun, Tegemi will definitely brighten up!" cheered Miyoko.

"I'll go and get some of her favorite wine." Added Raika.

"If we're going to all this trouble, we could have it on the terrace!"

(That seems to work, everyone's agreeing.)

It's because everyone's worried about Tegemi.

"Let's do it! From now, we're Tegemi's support group!" cheered Miyoko.

"Support group, you just want to hog all the food."

"Shut up! Mina!"

Tegemi's support group quickly plans a party.

That night...
