After saying our goodbyes to Shizuku-san and Reiji-kun, we went to Mizore-san’s house to pick up Sora-san. She was waiting while sipping some tea in the living room with a bored expression on her face. Shizuku-san and Riku-san’s conversation went on longer than expected, so she had been waiting for quite a while. “Did you say your goodbyes to Shizuku-chan, Riku?” “Yeah… Also, I have something to talk about with you, mom. I’ll tell you when we get home.” “Alright. It’s been a…- 362.1 K • Ongoing
After we finished talking, Riku-san and I returned to our respective futons and slept until it was time for us to leave. At first, I thought that we could sleep in the car, but he said… ‘Mom’s driving becomes… A little rougher whenever we get to a highway, so…’ After hearing that, I decided to let him get as much sleep as possible. When morning finally came, we woke up and changed out of our yukatas. Umi and I packed ours and Riku-san’s luggage before going down for…- 362.1 K • Ongoing
Since Riku-san asked for my help personally, I headed toward the parking lot where he was waiting. I planned to go together with him, but Umi was glued to me and refused to move away, so I asked him to go ahead and wait for me. By the time I managed to leave the room, the sun was already peeking out from the horizon and I could hear the birds chirping. “...Sorry for the wait.” “Don’t mind it. Wanna talk while we go for a walk?” “Sure.” The two of us then walked through the…- 362.1 K • Ongoing
After that, Umi and I enjoyed our time at the inn as much as we could since tonight would be our last. We had a full course meal like yesterday, played a game of ping pong and after we calmed down from all the excitement, we took a walk around the inn. Riku-san went somewhere by himself after dinner because he had something to talk about with Shizuku-san. When we returned to our room, he still wasn’t back. The two childhood friends seemed to have a lot to talk about. “Haah…” “Are…- 362.1 K • Ongoing
Maki’s PoV After he finished his story, Riku-san looked up at the ceiling and let out a sigh. It was my first time hearing about his past. It seemed like he experienced more setbacks and struggles during his school days than Umi or me. He probably never talked about this with Umi. “I know that I should’ve accepted her confession back then… It’s just, some of the unattractive guys’ words got me, what with their speeches about how I should focus on my exam instead of trying to play…- 362.1 K • Ongoing
A few days passed since then and the semester’s closing ceremony arrived. Since the day coincided with Christmas, those who had been admitted to their universities on recommendation or those who had already secured a job were happily talking about their plans for the rest of the year. Meanwhile, I was stressing over my studies. At my high school, aside from mandatory classes, students that were preparing for exams could choose to study at home. I just needed to persevere a bit longer since the exam…- 362.1 K • Ongoing
Riku’s PoV “This looks bad…” It was the winter of my last year of high school. I muttered those words after looking at the result of the mock exam I took a while ago. With those marks, there was no way that I could enter the university that I wanted to go to. That left me rather depressed, especially when the entrance exam was coming up. Of course, it wasn’t like I’ve been playing around like a fool. I was introverted to begin with, so I didn’t hang out with anyone and had been…- 362.1 K • Ongoing
Since we decided to have our dinner at the same time as yesterday, we took a bath first. Like planned, Riku-san would be entering the bath with me. Umi had entered the bath earlier, so I told her to wait for us in our room. All according to plan. I replied to her message with a ‘yes’ and entered the bath with Riku-san. “...” “...” We were walking side by side, but neither of us tried to start a conversation. It wasn’t like we had nothing to talk about. Both of us had…- 362.1 K • Ongoing
She said that she could talk while working since all she needed to do was to clean up the perimeter. Since I didn’t have anything else to do, I volunteered to help her and sweep the parking lot and other areas. Before we started, I apologized to her since Umi and I were eavesdropping on her conversation with Riku-san. Apparently, she didn’t realize that we were nearby. She forgave me easily since it was by pure coincidence that we were there, but she still gave me a light warning to not do it…- 362.1 K • Ongoing
After confirming that they were gone, Umi and I turned back the way we came. Umi went back to Mizore-san’s house first though. She needed to return the bike and the boxes first after all. So, I went ahead to the inn first. “Ah, welcome back, Maki-kun!” After parking the bike in its original place, I entered the front desk. Shizuku-san was there in her work attire and greeted me. It seemed like there were guests other than us today and she was taking care of them. “How was your date with…- 362.1 K • Ongoing
