VIDEO: Tsumihoroboshi-hen | TIP 6: My Favorite Wine
BGM: Feel
Since I didn't feel like going, I decided to stay at home.
...Most likely, she wouldn't be back until the evening.
When Satoko wasn't around... I had ways of spending time without her.
Besides, that was what I wanted to do anyway.
Next, I filled a stylish-looking glass with ice.
The ice made in the freezer smelled of chlorine, though, and didn't taste good.
Store-bought ice would be the best. But since Satoko kept asking me what I was using it for, I stopped buying it.
...But it might be worth spending time to think about a good excuse for that if it meant I would be able to enjoy ice without ever again smelling the chlorine.
Watching the color mix into the transparent water was a very pleasant thing.
This wasn't the right way to drink it, but I liked it that way, and didn't want to hear any complaints.
My body is very convenient, because I can get drunk with only a tiny amount.
That's why I dilute that small amount with a full glass of water.
And thanks to that, I could enjoy a single bottle for a long time. It wasn't bad, if you thought about it like that.
A slightly sweet ripened aroma tickled my nose.
She didn't like this bad habit of mine, and she complained every time I tilted the glass.
She started nagging me noisily.
I tried to ignore her, but she started making a fuss, as if trying to ruin the atmosphere on purpose.
...There was no way I could enjoy getting drunk like this.
I glared at her, and threw the drink out the window.
It seemed like she finally understood why I wanted to drown myself in alcohol.
"You don't have to feel down. I get to die instantly, so it's not that scary."
My body will be burned and cut in pieces, but I'll be able to die instantly.
"I know. ......Not yet. ...When am I going to die again?"
".........I think it's the night of the 25th of June."
"It's about a week after the Watanagashi festival. ...Well, that sounds reasonable."
"Is it......... my fault?"
"Of course it is. Are you serious?"
"...Au au au..."
She was the one who asked me, yet she cried when I told her she was right. ...Ah, geez! She's always so annoying.
...I still had ten more days. ...I was going to relax and enjoy those ten days.
I still had some wine left, too...
