オンライン小説 日本語&英語 【Very Short】第３話 ~My Own Space~

第３話　　　自分の場所　～My Own Space～


　　外へ出ると律の気分は一変した。高校二年新学期の早朝。

待ちに待った朝だった。図書館で時間をつぶさなくても、学校に行けば、

家にいなくてもいい。

　　As soon as she was outside, Ritsu felt much better.

It was the early morning and today was the first day of a new semester

for her as a sophomore student at her high school. She had patiently

waited for this day, knowing that she would no longer kill time at

a library instead of spending it home. She had a school to go to.

　　九月の太陽はまだ当分終わりそうにない夏を感じさせて、暑い日が律の肌を

ちりちりと焼いた。抜けるような青空に律は両手を高く挙げて、大きく深呼吸した。

解放された気分だった。腕を伸ばした先の楊枝に刺さった厚焼き卵の黄色と太陽が

重なっている。「絵になる」と一人満足し、律は大空のキャンバスから卵焼きを外し

口に運んだ。

　　The sun in September was claiming summer was not over yet

and blazing on Ritsu’ skin. The sky was as blue as it could be.

Ritsu put up her hands high taking a deep breath. She felt set free.

In her hand, she was holding the toothpick with a piece of omelet,

its yellow color blended with the sun like a painting.

Ritsu was content with it, moved the yellow out of the canvas in blue,

and finally put the omelet into her mouth.

　　今日は始業式だけで早々に下校になる。帰りは由美子の所に寄って行こうと決めた。

父が帰るまでの義母と二人だけになる時間、父と義母と三人で食卓を囲む時間、

それが律にとって苦痛だった。そういう時は自分の居場所が無い気がして、

いつも居たたまれなくなる。
　　
　　Since her school was only holding an opening ceremony that day,

it would be very early dismissal. Ritsu decided to stop by at

Yumiko’s and spend time with her because the times that she had to

be home alone with her stepmother until her father returned from

his work and that three of them were at a dinner table, were nothing

but pain for Ritsu, feeling she didn’t really belong there.
