In front of the washbasin, Aiko was combing her hair. She was having a hard time because she couldn't comb through my habitual brown hair. Aiko always uses finely wavy hair as a ponytail. She put in a comb to put it together, but today the comb was particularly bad.
"Because the air is dry, it's not easy to comb... It's not bad, it doesn't pass. Already!"
Now a live-in job, Aiko spends a lot of time setting her hair in the morning when she goes to school. With a fine comb, the hair gets tangled quickly, so she couldn't compete with her hair without a comb-like a brush.
As she looked,The doctor was reflected in the mirror of the washbasin.
"Good morning, Aiko. I want to brush my teeth."
"Good morning, Doctor" Aiko stepped half a step back from the mirror for her and combed her hair in the hallway.
It was reflected in the mirror that he brushed his teeth with a vague face. His hair was messy when he woke up, but it seemed to be clean as soon as he put in a comb.
"... Doctor. You really know how to maintain your hair."
"I? ... Yeah, I'm not having a lot of trouble."
"Nice, a smooth straight hair. I envy you." Aiko sighed.
He rinsed his mouth and smiled at Aiko in the mirror.
"Your hair is also pretty with fine waves. Your eyes are glittering and it looks like a teddy bear-cut toy poodle."
Aiko felt like she had been hit with a hammer in her head.
"Does cute mean like a dog ...! I'm happy to lose it!"
"Okay. Don't get angry, Aiko. It doesn't mean bad."
"Cormorant..." Aiko was silent as she was patted on her head.
"Doctor. doesn't think of me as a woman ... Rather, he treats me like a small kid ! I'm the only one who thinks he likes him ...)
After breakfast, her assistant's job was waiting for her. Aiko suddenly saw the doctor's face while typing. She realized that the reason why he was a little different from his looks. Inspecting she found that he didn't have the round glasses that he always wear at work.
"Doctor., what happened to your glasses? you always wear them at work ..."
"Yeah, one of the vines on the frame came off. I don't have a spare, so I have to go buy it ..."
"That was good. Doctor, those round glasses, the ones that didn't look good at all" Involuntarily Aiko muttered in her heart.
"Doctor you look squint without it, having those new stylish glasses would be nice, I'm sure it suits you better. "
"Yeah ...? Then tomorrow, will you go with me to the department store and choose glasses together?"
"Ah ... yes, doctor!"
"Ufufu, it looks like a date promise! "Unexpectedly, Aiko came to mind. That night, wondering what kind of clothes to wear tomorrow, Aiko coordinated many ways and actually tried on them in front of the mirror. She noticed that the hands of the clock were pointing at 12 o'clock in the middle of the night. Even when she went to bed in a hurry, her eyes were clear and the waves of sleep did not come. Aiko decided to drink hot milk because she couldn't sleep at two o'clock in the middle of the night.
She put milk in a pan and sprinkled a little vanilla essence. Aiko doesn't like the smell of warm milk, so vanilla scent was essential when drinking hot milk.
In the kitchen in the middle of the night, the dishes were settled where they should be and they were tidied up. It was quiet and quiet, and for some reason it reminded me of her parents and younger brother back in Osaka.
"Don't know what's happening with mom, dad, and Takashi .... due to work I almost forgot about them , let's call later in the morning ..." she said as she sat at the table
The Hot milk eased Aiko's tension. When she went to bed, a good night's sleep wrapped Aiko.
The next morning, Aiko went to a department store in Shinjuku with her doctor. When she arrived at the nearest station of the department store, a crowd surrounded them.
Taller women were all looking at the doctor. Aiko was proud to be able to walk with the doctor. Every time he talked to her; she was immersed in the superiority complex that she was closer to him than the girls around him.
When she passed a woman in a black dress, Aiko remembered the interviewer when she was interviewed. The examiner had black hair and black clothes.
" Good Morning Yuzihara" he waved at her
" Ara, its strange seeing you her"
"I'm just going with Aiko to get new frames for my glasses"
"I see" said the interviewer, " I'm in a rush as today there's a sale for potatoes, I got to go"
"Ok then bye" he waved as she bowed both of them and ran to the bus stop
"That ... what kind of relationship do you have with the doctor and the interviewer?"
"Oh, Yuzihara? she was a college classmate. Yuzihara changed her major and became a lawyer, but I've always been close to her. The habit of getting a girl out of hand hasn't changed since I was a student. But what's wrong? "
"House..."
Aiko wanted to say that an interviewer named Yuzihara asked her if she was a virgin. However, it was a busy traffic, and she was reluctant to talk about virginity from her own mouth.
"... Ah! Doctor, I can see the department store." Aiko sprinted and walked a little ahead of the doctor.
"You don't have to say it. I'm in trouble if the air becomes strange ... Let's stop." The doctor said something to Aiko.
He sees her running and looks like a elementary girl was running with her adult to buy something for her. As he sees her he smiled as she look cute
"You are sho ..."
"Yes?"
"... No, nothing. Let's go, Aiko."
"I wonder what he meant to say ... Elementary school? Common people? ... Maybe a virgin? At this timing? No way ..." she questioned herself
At the spectacles department, a clerk mistakenly mistaken her for her doctor, and Aiko soared again. It took time to find glasses that would look good on his face, and Aiko and Doctor. were head-to-head at the glasses department for an hour and a half.
"... Okay. I made new glasses and I wonder if I'll stay in the lab for a while." Upon arriving home, the doctor rolled his arms and said.
On his face, he has dark brown square-rimmed glasses that he agreed with Aiko.
"I'm enthusiastic. Good luck, Doctor."
"Okay? Don't open the door until I get out of this room." He squinted his eyes and advised Aiko.
"Yes..."
"It's weird. If it's work, I'll help him" Aiko thought so, but silently prepared the dinner.
After some time she prepared a healthy meal after their heavy lunch when they were outside and decided to prepare little
"Doctor., dinner is ready."
"Oh, I'm going now" The doctor sits in a chair in the dining room. While Aiko was serving a warm stew in a bowl, he fell asleep on the dining table.
"Are you tired, doctor ..." Aiko gently hung a shawl on his shoulder.
Aiko couldn't stand hunger and ate dinner first. Aiko went upstairs to the lab when she realized that she had forgotten the pen she used yesterday.
When she came in front of the laboratory, she remembered what the doctor was saying.
"Don't open the door until I get out of this room."
"Doctor. has left the room once, so that promise is no longer valid.
It's okay to enter"
So telling herself, Aiko entered the lab. The inside of the room was the same as usual. Aiko found her pen by the type. When she was relieved to leave the laboratory, she noticed a flask and a beaker on the laboratory desk. A notebook was left open by her side.
"Oh, I feel like I'm working on it ... I wonder if I was preparing something." Aiko glanced at her notebook.
She don't know what the medicine is, but it was a simple recipe that just mixed liquid A and liquid B.
As she saw new notes she read, When liquid A and liquid B are mixed, the color turns red. Let it blend in for tens of minutes to an hour. But don't leave it for more than an hour. Once familiar, add 3mg of calcium powder to finish.
Aiko looked at the flask. Since it has a red color, it was judged that it was a combination of liquid A and liquid B.
"... That? Maybe it's been more than an hour since the doctor fell asleep. The medicine I made will be wasted!" Aiko thought. Aiko hated wasting everything.
She came up with the idea that if he was tired and slept, he would be very happy if she had done his work in the meantime.
"I'm going to talk a little, but ... Doctor, I might be happy." Aiko thought so and found a bottle of calcium in the medicine rack. Weighed 3 mg of calcium on an electrical appliance weighing scale and placed it in a flask.The liquid was turbid and had a nice scent.
"It smells nice, it's nice ... I don't think it's a medicine" When she vaguely thought so, the door opened and she saw the doctor.
"Aiko, you were here. I seem to have fallen asleep before I knew it. Thank you for your kindness .... What are you doing?"
"Oh, doctor ... um ..., medicine preparation ... But I feel good ...It's fluffy ... " Standing beside the red flask, Aiko replied with unfocused eyes, and the doctor looked scared and compared Aiko with the compounding notes.
"Aiko, did you make the medicine for this page !?"
"Eh, hey ..." Aiko opened her half and nodded.
However, Aiko was the only one who thought she was nodding, and in reality she was just shaking her head.
"If I made medicine while he was asleep, he would be happy ..." Aiko's eyes were moisturized.
He quickly headed to the medicine rack and poured the liquid from the brown bottle into the beaker.
"Aiko, do you know me? Drink this." He grabbed Aiko's shoulder with one hand and brought the beaker to Aiko's mouth.
Aiko didn't want to drink that, so she shook her head.
"No. I don't want to drink. I'm kind of weird .... The doctor looks twice as cool as usual ..."
She came close to him and hugged the doctor, who looked into Aiko's face with anxiety.
" Hiro. I love you ..." With that said, Aiko rubbed her face on the doctor's chest.
"Thank you. I understand, but drink this."
"I don't know! ... I'm serious. I like the doctor ..."Aiko clenched her fist and banged on the doctor's chest. When he thought she had his chin pulled up with one hand, Aiko's mouth contained a bitter liquid. she was drinking the brown liquid in the beaker.
"Hmm ... Aiko frowns involuntarily, and the doctor slowly sits in a chair.
"Sit in a chair for a while until the sickness awakens, Aiko."
He licked a little of the medicine Aiko had prepared and he was writing something in her notebook.
Aiko was sitting in a chair as she was told, hanging her legs and staring at the doctor. The hair shook, and she thought he was beautiful.
After a while, the air around her felt cold. she felt like she was in a dream, and she felt that this was a reality, and she knew that she was gradually awakening from a drunken state.
"Ah ... I ...?"Aiko put her hand on his face.
" Aiko"The doctor raises his face from the desk.
When the eyes met, Aiko remembered hugging the doctor and saying she loved her, and the blood sank from her face. No wonder why I said that.
She blushed and went back
"I'm sorry doctor, I don't know what happened to me ?"
"... It's the action of the medicine. The medicine you prepared and smelled is an Love Potion."
"...Love Potion...?" Aiko blinked her eyes. She often hears it in stories, but she thought it didn't really exist.
"Yes. It was because of the medicine that looked good?"
Aiko thought that wasn't the case, but she tended to be reluctant to realize that she thought she was twice as cool as usual before she was given the bitter medicine.
"It's still under development. At the request of a client. There is a woman who really wants me to turn around, so please make a Love Potion .... If you're a virgin, it should work very well. Please help me Aiko"
He tried to ask, but she quit because it was rude.
"You have no shame and I have no idea
what are you saying?"
She storms off with while the doctor stays inside the lab
"a..."
On the way to the department store, Aiko remembered that the doctor was saying, "You are sho ...".
"Because it's under development, he's letting a girl play at night on the weekends try it out. Then she says she likes him and won't let go until the medicine runs out. It works for a couple of hours. I've finally made the antidote I just took. "
"Until now, the reason he went home in the morning was to find out the effectiveness of the Love Potion ... But I'm not surprised ... I wonder if he is always so calm when he says he loves it. I Even if I say I like it, I wonder if it will be returned like that ..."
In lab the doctor was thinking "I was surprised because I didn't expect Aiko to mix it. I tried to keep it out of the room, but it seems that it burned my nose while I fell asleep ... well, but This medicine seems to be powerful. "
"... Doctor, are you going to play at night again this week?"
"Playing at night ... it's for research. Did I explain it earlier?"
It's not a night out for him, but it's the same for Aiko. It's unbearable for a favored man to give a strange girl a suspicious drug and cling to him.
"Doctor. every week you come home with a fragrance of a girl and I don't know why you're doing this? I ...!" she stops for a bit and takes a deep breath "... I'm going to be a tester for Love Potions! I think it's better for the same person to test than a different person every time. Doctor, its better than trying to look for someone to try the drug. Isn't it difficult? "
"Aiko ..."
For a moment, he opened his eyes astonishingly. It would be so. It's not sane, as he likes to use the Love Potion to himself.
"That ... helps, but ... But ... is that okay? It's like that, and I can't recommend it very much. "
"Okay!"
Aiko was proud. She didn't want strangers to sneak up on the doctor like she did earlier.
"Hmm ... Let me think for a moment. Anyway, I don't have to work anymore today. Good night."
"Yes..."As she left with him to the respective rooms. When she went out into the hallway and was alone, she remembered what she was saying to the doctor.
"I ... I said I love the doctor ..." When she recalls, her face was burning.
The doctor was kind. He took care of Aiko, who was drunk with medicine, and treated her as usual.
"Although he didn't deal with me because of the medicine, I'm sure I'm used to it because I always know the girls who got crazy with the Love Potion, but I was still calm." She thinks
But if he had liked Aiko even a little, he would have been a little more upset.
"I wonder if it's unlikely ──. But... I wanted to enter if there was a hole in my unexpected confession"
