Payback Time

August 4
I got called an idiot again.
Twice.
Again.
...
I'm trying my best, you know.
Actually...
Three times.
At this point, Orion and I have reached the same conclusion.
Shin just really loves calling people "idiot."
Today, we started practicing for work.
Or rather...
We were doing a simulation.
Ugh...
This is so embarrassing.
I reluctantly said the practice line.
"Welcome home, Master."
...
...
Shin blushed.
BWAHAHAHAHA!!
ZAMA MIRO!
Finally.
Now he knows how embarrassing this feels.
After recovering, he continued explaining what I was supposed to do.
I quietly nodded along.
When I practiced saying the lines again...
He blushed.
Again.
HAHAHAHA.
Totally worth it.
After getting called "idiot" so many times, seeing him embarrassed was incredibly satisfying.
He even muttered that this was torture.
Good.
After hearing "Master" a few more times...
He suddenly asked...
"Can I have my way with you?"
...
WHAT?!
WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS DUDE?!
DID I REALLY DATE SOMEONE LIKE THIS?!
Even Orion looked completely horrified.
WATCH YOUR WORDS, YOU DUMMY!
ORION IS STILL A KID!
YOU PERVY!!
Thankfully, before anything else could happen...
Toma arrived.
Shin explained my condition to him.
Apparently, Toma and I are childhood friends too.
That's... actually reassuring.
He also promised to help me if I struggled with my café job.
Phew.
Then Toma suddenly realized something.
...
Wait.
Doesn't Shin have prep school today?
Actually...
Yesterday too.
Toma says Shin has entrance exams coming up.
...
Hold on.
Has he been skipping all of that...
Just to stay with me?
...
He's actually...
Really sweet.
So I thanked him.
Even though he's busy, he's still helping me every day.
Those exams are important too.
He needs to pass if he wants to keep his scholarship.
Then another surprise.
Shin casually lied to Toma.
He told him I'd already gone to the hospital for a checkup regarding my amnesia.
...
Wow.
He lies as naturally as breathing.
No wonder I fell for some of his lies earlier.
Toma looked genuinely worried.
He thought it might be better if I stayed home and rested.
But Shin disagreed.
He explained that walking around and practicing things had already helped trigger some of my memories.
...
Good job, Shin.
After that...
We resumed the roleplay training.
I looked at Toma this time.
"Welcome home, Master."
...
He blushed too.
OI OI.
I THOUGHT YOU WERE THE BIG BROTHER FIGURE.
WHY ARE YOU BLUSHING TOO?!
