I Want to Hear Your Voice

After Sousuke left for work, Satori, who was left alone in the room, wondered if there was something he could do to help.
What Satori came up with was helping to clean up the room for Sousuke, who had been too busy to clean up for the past few days.

First of all, Satori tried to wash the dirty clothes that had been piling up.
He barely knew that humans used the thing called ‘washing machine’ to wash their clothes.
After the dirty clothes were put inside it, the ‘washing machine’ was a wonderful thing that would do the rest of the cleaning.

The slimy liquid that Sousuke used to wash his hair last night had a very nice scent, so Satori also put it in together with the clothes in the ‘washing machine’, then pressed the button.
Satori was relieved when he saw the ‘washing machine’ had started working properly, then he went back to the living room.
Next, he tried to wash the dishes that had piled up on the kitchen sink.
He grabbed a sponge and squeezed the bottle of what looked like detergent that was nearby.

I wonder if Sousuke will be happy to see the sparkling clean room when he gets home?

Satori couldn’t help but smile as he felt happy at the thought.

At that moment, a strange sound of water overflowing could be heard from the direction of the washroom.
When Satori panicked and tried to see what was going on, his hand slipped and he accidentally dropped the glass he was holding.
The sound of a glass shattering could be heard.
He stretched out his hand in the spur of the moment, but his hand slipped again and now he accidentally broke a plate.
Meanwhile, the sound of water overflowing still continued.
He then first decided to head to the washroom where the sound was coming from.
What entered his vision was the washing machine that was vibrating while spewing out a lot of bubbles onto the floor.

“Wh-why?”

He hurriedly tried to stop the movement of the washing machine.
But perhaps he had pushed the wrong button, as the washing machine was vibrating while letting out a weird sound, and still spewing out bubbles.
Satori’s feet slipped and he fell on the floor that was full of bubbles.

“Oww!”

Satori hit his head on the edge of the washing machine, and tears started to well up in his eyes.
He stood up and pulled the cable out from the source.
The washing machine finally stopped vibrating.

“It-it stopped at last…”

Satori slumped down on the spot.
When he saw the mess once again, it made him want to cry.

“I have to do something about this before Sousuke comes back.”

Satori panicked.
He looked around his surroundings to search for something that could be used to wipe with, then he grabbed a towel that entered his vision.
He bent down and wiped the floor, but the towel soon got drenched with water and bubbles, and it got so wet that it was dripping water.
However, after he patiently wiped the floor with the same motion repeatedly, the water and bubbles piled up on the floor were finally wiped away.
Even so, the washing machine was still full of bubbles inside it.
Satori didn’t know how to get rid of the water in the washing machine or how to get the clothes properly clean.

“…I have to do something about the dishes that I broke.”

He felt that he would have better ideas after some time had passed, so Satori went back to the living room for the time being.
In the middle of the living room, there were several white fluffy spirits, jumping around and tearing up Sousuke’s books.

“Whoa, whoa, whoa!”

Surprised by Satori’s voice, the white fluffy spirits were startled and fled somewhere in the room.
Satori picked up the ripped book and was shocked.

Usually, the white fluffy spirits didn’t show themselves in front of humans, and they rarely caused any mischief, perhaps because they were timid.
The only reason for this was because Satori was in this room.
When Satori looked around the room, he saw even more of a mess than when Sousuke had left the house.

Actually, he just wanted to make Sousuke happy when he got home from work.
Satori was at a loss as to how it had become like this.

The white fluffy spirits that were supposed to have fled earlier appeared again and jumped around Satori’s feet.
Satori hugged his knees in the corner of the room and began to cry uncontrollably. 

“What the heck is this?!”

That evening, a sound of the front door opening could be heard, and what followed after was Sousuke’s scream.
At the sound of his voice, the white fluffy spirits that were playing around in the room fled somewhere again.
