“A-Ayaka !? Why are you here !?”
“Ayaka san !? Why are you here !?”
Both of us speak at the same time in front of someone who shouldn’t be here.
Unlike us, who are in a panic, Ayaka looks calm and answers with a smile all the time.
“The club’s training camp is near here. It’s my last day off today, so I came here to play.”
“I-I see. Where are the others?”
“They’re over there talking with Karasawa kun and the others.”
“Then we have to go too. I hate to keep them waiting. Right, Fuyusaki !”
“T-that’s right ! Now, let’s go !”
As we were about to walk away, Ayaka picked up a fallen tree and snapped it to pieces.
Our movement stops at that odd behavior.
“So? What were you doing?”
It seems she is not going to let us go.
(What were you doing?)
I didn’t know what the right answer was.
What was Fuyusaki trying to do?
I could guess to some extent, but that was just a guess.
(She envied the relationship, huh?).
As I looked at Fuyusaki’s face, I remembered her words.
It is true that the connection between the two of us as brother and sister is extremely thin compared to the other two.
However, in the form of friends, the connection is stronger than that of Hananoi.
I suddenly remembered Wado’s words.
I immediately shake my head, thinking that this is not something I should be thinking about right now.
“It’s just an experiment. Nothing more, nothing less.”
Fuyusaki doesn’t say anything, so I make a blatant excuse.
“What experiment?”
“I don’t have to tell you.”
I reject her a little more forcefully, and Ayaka’s smile finally breaks.
Before she can say anything, I continue.
“I have no obligation or need to tell you everything I do.”
I rejected her more clearly, and Ayaka fell silent.
I thought I had said a little too much, but I didn’t want to hurt her feelings.
“….Okay. I’ll stop prying. But don’t do anything weird, okay?”
Ayaka left with a slightly angry look on her face.
The air between us was heavy.
The distance between us, which was so close that our faces were almost touching before, is now a person’s distance apart.
“…..Let’s head back.”
“Y-yes…”
The atmosphere was awkward, and we returned to the direction where Sasagawa and the others were.

The second day at the beach house
The inn where we stayed was surprisingly comfortable and my body was light.
We have been preparing for today since early morning, but Ken and Fuyusaki have been acting strangely since yesterday.
Around noon yesterday, they happened to meet up with Ayaka and the others due to the coincidence that Kouma’s track and field team’s training camp was nearby.
Since then, the two have been acting strangely awkward.
They seem to be talking normally, but they are teasing each other.
“There was definitely something wrong.”
“What do you mean?”
I spilled out my words to myself, and they picked up on it.
“Those two. They are strangely conscious of each other.”
“Well, do they get along?”
“Why?”
“No, I just get the impression that Ken, who’s been through a traumatic experience, doesn’t mind talking to her.”
If you ask me, yes.
Ken has been interacting with Fuyusaki since the beginning of school, without worrying about it.
Is it because they are ex-sisters….
“Those two went to the same elementary school. That’s why they’re close.”
I explained to Makoto without telling him that she was his ex-sister.
Since he didn’t tell me, it would be wrong of me to tell him.
“I see. So they knew each other from before the trauma. They’re two quite the picture.”
I agreed with Makoto.
Needless to say, Fuyusaki is a beautiful girl with an outstanding figure.
As for Ken, his bangs are up today, and his true face is clearly visible.
When I catch a glimpse at Ken and Fuyusaki, they look like a good-looking pair.
“What’s wrong?”
Makoto wonders at my silence.
“Nothing, I’m sure that a girl like that would be a good match for Ken.”
The innocent Fuyusaki and the fresh Ken.
They are the perfect example of a couple.
“Is that so?”
Makoto disagreed with my opinion.
“I thought so. Then, what kind of girl do you think is going to stand beside Ken? Without the trauma.”
“It would be Miyu.”
“Eh?”
The unexpected answer makes me start to wonder.
“Stop making weird jokes.
“I’m not joking.”
Makoto looks rather serious.
“I thought you were the only one who could be next to Ken.”
After saying that, Makoto went to the kitchen.
“…There’s no way that could happen.”
I was left alone, and I muttered as if trying to convince myself.
