After that, the girls asked me a lot of questions about who I liked, but I just answered them appropriately.

It was a little difficult to hide the fact that It was Sei-chan and to talk about her without them knowing, but I might have had a little fun talking about my love life with them.

 

As I was talking to them with this in mind, I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket.

 

While Sato-san, Kato-san and the others were talking, I pulled out my phone and looked at the screen to see that a RINE message had arrived.

Is it… Sei-chan?

 

I glanced at Sei-chan for a moment.

 

Just like before, she was conversing with the girls but in her hand she held a phone that wasn’t there before.

I wonder if she sent me a message.

 

I opened RINE to see that I received a message from her.

 

“Let’s meet up and talk after this.”

 

I tried really hard to resist the grin from appearing on my face.

I didn’t expect her to ask me out on a date after this.

 

I’ll get right back to you soon.

 

“Sure, you wanna go now?”

 

As I sent it, I saw Sei-chan looking at the screen of her phone out of the corner of my eye.

It was read immediately and a reply came.

 

“I’m fine. But it seems like you’re in the middle of something.”

 

Did you hear our conversation, Sei-chan?

I don’t think she could tell if I was in the middle of something or not without hearing our conversation.

 

No, I think it’s because earlier when I was answering what I liked about Sei-chan, Sato-san and the others were shouting and getting really excited.

Maybe that’s what she heard.

 

“I want to get out of here now so I can talk to Sei-chan.”

 

My reply was immediately read as if the chat was left open.

 

“HMMM?!”

“Shimada-san, what’s wrong?”

“N-No, it’s nothing, I just choked a little. Sorry.”

 

I heard Sei-chan choked a little, I wonder if she’s okay…

 

“Alright, I’ll meet at the park nearby, is that fine?”

“Copy that. I’ll leave first. Sei-chan should leave a few minutes later.”

“Mkay, I’ll be there soon.”

 

I looked at the message and put my phone back in my pocket.

Alright, let’s get out of here.

 

“I think I’ll head home now.”

 

I said that to the girls as I stood up.

 

“Ehh? Isn’t it too early? It’s not even eight yet.”

“Yeah, let’s talk some more.”

 

I’m thankful that they wanted to talk with me more, but I’d rather talk with Sei-chan instead.

I’d been itching to talk with Sei-chan for the entire party.

 

“I’m sorry, but my sister is going to be very upset if I don’t leave soon.”

“Ehh? You have a sister?”

“Ahh, yeah, I also have a cute sister.”

“Haha, so you’re a siscon huh? Hisamura-kun.”

“I guess so. Sorry, I had a good time today. I’ll see you tomorrow at school.”

 

I was afraid they would ask me about Rinke so I just quickly said goodbye and left.

My luggage was placed where Yuuichi, Tojoin-san and Fujise were sitting.

 

Yuuichi is still… eating wholeheartedly.

 

“Hmm? Tsukasa… leaving already?”

“Ah, yeah. I’m tired so I’m just heading home early.”

“Okay, I’ll see you tomorrow.”

“Goodbye, Hisamura-kun.”

“See you tomorrow. Hisamura-kun.”

“Yeah, see you tomorrow.”

 

After saying a quick goodbye to the three of them, I grabbed my luggage and left.

There was something about the way Tojoin-san and Fujise glanced in different directions and said goodbye that seemed like they hinted something within those words that bothered me…… but oh well.

 

As I left the large tatami room, I glanced over at Sei-chan and our eyes met.

 

I nodded slightly as if to tell her that I was waiting for her with a look, and Sei-chan also nodded as if to say, “Okay.”

I wonder if I’m the only one who gets happy about little things like this.

 

[Insert wacky cool transition line… or don’t, I don’t know if you’re gonna read this or not.]

Even though it was getting warmer in May, the nights were still pretty chilly.

But it was not that cold, it was more of a pleasantly cool feeling.

 

A short walk away from the store, there was a rather large park.

 

I went over there and bought two hot drinks from a nearby vending machine.

I got a cup of coffee that’s not too sweet while buying a cup of cocoa.

 

I bought the two drinks and sat down on a bench, looking up at the sky and waiting for Sei-chan.

 

The sky was cloudless, so I could see the stars and the moon clearly.

Maybe it’s bright enough to see the surroundings without the streetlights in the park.

 

Man, I can’t wait for Sei-chan to get here.

I glanced at the screen of my phone to check the time.

 

It’s been five minutes since I left the store, and she still hasn’t come yet.

 

It’s been 10 minutes and she still hasn’t come.

I thought we agreed that she would leave a few minutes after I left, but what happened?

 

Could it be that I’ve been tricked?

I thought for a moment, but there was no way Sei-chan would do something so trifling.

 

If it’s Yuuichi he might send me a RINE if he couldn’t make it. But Sei-chan definitely wouldn’t do that and she will come.

 

So I waited with faith that she wouldn’t leave me. After about fifteen minutes Sei-chan arrived.

Sei-chan came into the park running a bit, looking like she was in a hurry.

 

Sei-chan was looking around with an impatient expression, but breathed a sigh of relief when she spotted me sitting on the bench.

I thought even that gesture of hers was cute, and my cheeks relaxed naturally.

 

“I’m sorry I’m late. I know it’s an excuse, but the people I was talking with wouldn’t let me go…”

“Don’t worry, I just got here.”

“No, definitely not. You went out ten minutes ago.”

“Haha, I guess that’s true.”

“Geez…” [TLN: It annoys me that Sei-chan just doesn’t want to reveal her feelings. It’s really frustrating to see that Hisamura might misunderstand that it’s just a one sided love.]

 

Sei-chan laughed lightly at my joke.

Not that I minded at all, but she seemed a little bothered that she was late.

 

She took a breath and sat down next to me.

 

Her appearance lit up by the gentle moonlight as her beautiful silver hair shone brightly.

Just by having her sitting next to me, the scenery looks like a picturesque fantasy world.

 

As I stared at her, she tilted her head curiously.

 

Her silver hair shone in the moonlight as it swayed, and even that was too beautiful to resist looking at.

 

“What’s up, Hisamura.”

“No, as usual. I just thought you were beautiful Sei-chan.”

“HUH?! W-Why so suddenly?”

 

Sei-chan looked embarrassed and tucked a strand of hair that was hanging down over her ear.

I don’t know, but it’s extremely scary because everything she does makes it look like a work of art.

 

“Sei-chan, here.”

 

I handed her the cocoa I had bought earlier.

 

“Hmm? What’s this?”

“Cocoa.”

“Eh? Is it fine?”

“Yeah, it might have gotten a little cold though.”

“Thanks. It’s fine, it’s my fault for being late. How much did it cost?”

“It’s alright.”

“But…”

“It’s fine, why don’t we have a toast.”

 

I turned my canned drink towards Sei-chan.

 

I did a toast on Yuuichi’s call earlier but it wasn’t with Sei-chan.

We couldn’t even click our drinks since we were so far apart.

 

When I pointed the can of coffee at her, she giggled and opened the can of cocoa.

 

“Ahh, thank you. Thank you for your hard work today, Hisamura.”

“Good work today too, Sei-chan.”

 

Me and Sei-chan made a toast and took a sip.

 

“Congratulations on winning the basketball tournament Sei-chan”

 

If I were to talk to her about anything today, it would be about the match.

 

“Oh, Thank you. Congratulations on your win at the end too. The pitcher at the end was pretty strong. Is your arm and shoulder okay?”

“Un, I cooled down properly, so I’m fine.”

 

I think I threw more than a hundred pitches in total, but I think I’m okay.

I threw really hard in the game right after Sei-chan cheered me on, but the rest of the time I just threw as hard as I could.

 

“Well, that’s good to know. You were… pretty cool.”

“…! O-Oh, thank you.”

 

I didn’t expect to be praised straight to my face so I choked at her words.

 

Sei-chan didn’t even look at me, she just glanced at me.

But even in this dark place, I could see that Sei-chan’s cheeks were a little red.

 

As if to hide our embarrassment, Sei-chan and I took a sip at almost the exact same time.

 

“You were really cool too, Sei-chan. Especially the match with Tojoin-san.”

 

Compared to Sei-chan’s coolness, I’m probably as cool as a dwarf.

The match against Tojoin-san was really too cool.

 

Both boys and girls were crazy over Sei-chan and Tojoin-san.

 

Sei-chan’s popularity among the girls was especially amazing.

 

“It was thanks to you that I was able to defeat Tojoin-san.”

“I didn’t do anything.”

“Yesterday and the day before, you accompanied me to basketball practice. Thanks to you, we were able to beat Tojoin.”

“W-Welcome…”

 

Oh no, I feel like I’m being seduced by Sei-chan.

She’s so cool, I can’t even look at her face directly.

 

I was the only one who was embarrassed, because Sei-chan was smiling without any embarrassment, as if she was saying thank you in a very normal way.

 

My heart was pounding so hard. I can’t help but think what if Sei-chan next to me could hear it.
