Days passed after our shopping trip, and the day of the trip finally arrived. Since there were no holidays in June, the days passed by at a snail’s pace. Though the fact that I was anticipating the trip probably had an effect on my perception of time. Today was Saturday. We planned to leave early in the morning so we wouldn’t arrive too late at our destination. It was currently 6 am. After making breakfast and leaving a note for my mom, who was still asleep because she got back really late…- 362.1 K • Ongoing
After we finished buying our swimsuits, we went to another store that had a large selection of clothing for teenagers like us. It was a well known brand store and while they weren’t the most fashionable ones, their selection was quite large and easy on our wallets. You had to be an expert to pick out the really good clothes, but there was one right next to me. “Let’s choose your clothes first. Come on, follow me!” “Alright, jeez, stop pulling me…” Umi had been in a good mood ever…- 362.1 K • Ongoing
- We went straight to my house after our snack run. Before the study session began, we prepared the snacks for break first since we wouldn’t have time to do so later. The study session was planned for two hours, but looking at the amount of snacks we bought, it felt like we were planning to do it for a whole day instead. There were several plates and bowls filled with huge amounts of potato chips, sweets and other kinds of snacks. Would I even have room for dinner after finishing all these? The girls…

- Our studying proceeded smoothly, under the supervision of Amami-san and Nitta-san. We would study for three hours after school from 4 pm to 7 pm with a ten minute break in between. When it was just the two of us, we would unknowingly waste more time doing nothing, but with other people watching us, we couldn’t even try to do that. I managed to channel my desire to play around with Umi into the desire to study. This continued until there was a week left until the midterm exam began. “What do…

- I was a bit concerned about Nitta-san’s ‘homework’, but since I had to prepare for the exam, I decided to immediately start studying with Umi after school. The scope of the exam would be announced exactly two weeks prior to the exam itself, so I still had to wait a few more days, but since I listened to the class seriously, I could roughly guess the contents of the midterm. “By the way, when do you need to go home, Umi?” “Mom said I need to be back by dinner from now on until after the…

- “Huh, so you guys will be staying at Umi’s grandma’s place.” The day after, the four of us gathered to listen to the report– no, the conclusion of the said negotiations. Said result was that during the long weekend, we would visit Umi’s grandma’s house. The place itself was two or three prefectures away from here, so we would be going further than we previously planned. Sora-san said that they would be holding a memorial service for a distant relative around that time. Originally,…

- We shelved the conversation for now and decided to eat first. Unlike when I visited last time, the menu on the table consisted mainly of Japanese dishes like sashimi and simmered vegetables. They were all tasty and made the discomfort in my stomach vanish. I was seated between Sora-san and Umi, just like last December. I couldn’t enjoy the meal back then because of what happened with my parents, so this would be my chance to enjoy this kind of atmosphere. “Here’s your sashimi, Maki. C’mon,…

- After a restless school day, I went home with Umi, changed my clothes and immediately went to her house together with her. “Your hands are sweaty, are you okay?” “Of course not! I’m nervous…” “Actually, me too… After calling you this morning, dad has been silent. It’s hard to approach him when he’s like that…” “...In any case, we should wipe our hands.” “Alright.” After wiping each other’s hands, we intertwined our fingers once again. This would be the…

- The day after that, I decided to tell my mom what we discussed during the strategy meeting. I asked her to reconsider based on my midterm ranking. She was baffled since I was unexpectedly persistent about it, but since I was rarely this stubborn, she lent an ear this time. “Getting into the top ten, huh? Can you do it? You spent a lot of time studying for your final exam last semester and still didn’t manage to do it, right? You won’t have time to play with Umi-chan if you do this, you…

- After that failed negotiation, Umi and I decided to hold a strategy meeting. Originally, it was just the two of us, but Amami-san and Nitta-san tagged along and sadly, we weren’t strong enough to shake them off. We spread out our lunches on a bench in the old building’s smoking area, a familiar spot for all of us. “So, Umi-san.” “Yes.” “...Just to clarify, you didn’t get the okay?” “...Mm. How about you, Maki?” “Same. Well, I expected as much.” There was no…
