Continuing to live together

My dad saw us kissing.

“…………”

Lida and I remained frozen in our kiss.

My father was also petrified, as if by magic.
Time had completely stopped in this space.

“…… Oojirou, you ……”

“Wait a minute, Dad! Kissing is a foreign greeting!”

“It didn’t look like it, though.
I could clearly see love.”

“Oh….love! Lida, I need an explanation from you…”

We can’t.
Lida’s face has turned bright red.
I guess it’s over…

“So, that’s how you two get along.
I’ll tell them that nothing happened.
Good luck, Oojirou, Lydia-chan.”

My dad gave a thumbs up, then turned away and left.
What, are you trying to be cool? …… No, but you saved the day.

Thank you, …… dad.

“I thought my heart was going to stop.”

Lida said as she sat back down.

I was also relieved.
I thought to myself, “My father understands what I’m going through.”

“Lida, it looks like we can still continue this life.”

“Thank God.
…… I can’t believe Oojirou and I will be separated, and I don’t want to be separated.
We’ll be together forever, okay?”

“Yeah, I’ll do whatever it takes to keep this life together.”

I made Lida stand up and hugged her tightly.

“Thanks, Oojirou…”

“I appreciate it.”

A few hours after my father left.

It was thirteen o’clock in the afternoon.

I had lunch delivered by “Uber Eats” and enjoyed the Moshi Burger.
I like Makuto Naruto, but Moshi is delicious with its authentic flavor.

“I’ve never used Uber Eats before, but it’s really convenient.
They bring the food to you.”

Lida was thrilled to be using a delivery service she had never used before.

“Don’t they have that in Russia?”

“We have food delivery in Moscow, but I’ve never used it before.”

“I see.
So, Lida is from Moscow?”

“No, I was born in “Oymyakon”.
I don’t remember it, it was when I was a kid.”

Oymyakon is an extremely cold region, known as the coldest in the world.
It is also known as the Village of Severe Winter, with winters of -50 degrees Celsius being the norm.
So she was from a place like that.

“Wow, that’s surprising.”

“It was so cold that we moved soon after.
That’s why I spent more time in Moscow than anywhere else.”

I bet you’re right.
I did a quick image search on my phone and found a picture of a Russian with his face frozen.
I felt the cold just looking at it.

“It’s nice to get to know you over a good meal.”

“Yeah, I’d like to get to know Oojirou better, too.”

“I don’t mind.
But it’s Sunday, so let’s do something.”

“Sounds good! We went to the boat race yesterday.
Where should we go next?”

“I wonder…”

The options are numerous.

Walking around the neighborhood is fine, or we can take public transportation and go on a trip.
…… Hmmm.

Oh, yeah, let’s go there.
