“And by the way, what is Hayamin-senpai doing?”
Mihoshi said after looking around in the middle of the line leading to the amusement park.
“I-I hope he hasn’t been in an accident or something. ……”
Kazekawa picked up on Mihoshi’s words and looked at Aota’s face, who was closest
“Ummm, he said he was going to be late, is it okay if I go in first?”
At the same time Aota said that, the phone in his hand rang at the right time.
[Go in first, the train is too crowded and it’s going to take a while longer.]
The message was so well-timed that it seemed as if he might have eavesdropped on the conversation between the three of them.
“He said that. Let’s go in first.”
“Y-Yes, that’s right. Yeah.”
“Yeah.”
………
……
“He said it.”
I stared at him and read the conversation between the three of them, and I told Shiramine as I was.
“Did you read …… their lips?”
“Hmm, yes, what’s wrong?”
“No, no, it’s an unusual skill.”
Shiramine pretended to be calm, but her face was clearly shocked.
I-Is it really that strange?
“Even so, there are many people. As expected from one of the leading amusement parks in the country.”
“Senpai, this isn’t an amusement park, it’s a theme park. If an amusement park is exactly what the name suggests – a place to just have fun – then a theme park has a unified theme.”
Shiramine boasts proudly
“I-I see.”
It’s not an astonishing fact ……, but it’s something I didn’t know.
“For example, what is the theme here?”
“I wonder? What is it? I’m not really interested in these places.”
Hisui shakes her head. Where was your earlier enthusiastic speech?
“Eeh, You seemed to know a lot about it,”
“Rather than that, let’s go in through the back. There will be fewer people there.”
“The back?”
“I don’t like to show off too much.”
After saying that, Shiramine took something out of her small handbag. It is.
“It is a gold-colored, ticket ……?”
Two gold-colored pieces of paper shining in the sunlight.
It was written on them.
“─ ─ A shareholder, a special discount coupon, ……?”
“A friend of mine gave them to me. How is it? Isn’t it great?”
Shiramine sniffed again, proudly puffing out her chest.
“O-oh.”
“Come on, senpai. Let’s go. It looks like Hasegawa-senpai and the others have already entered.”
“Huh!? Really?”
When I checked after hearing that, I saw that the area where Aota had been just a moment ago was indeed the area where the park’s ticket gates had been passed.
“Yoisho”
Squish.
I felt a soft sensation on my arm.
“Uhyo!?”
“Hmmmm? What’s wrong? Senpai?”
Shiramine grinned happily and pressed her body even closer to my arms.
“N-n, what’s wrong all of a sudden?”
You little devil. That was close, a normal man would have misunderstood.
“Do me and senpai look like a perfect couple?”
“Haha…… probably, from the outside, I’m just a normal guy who gets confused with a beautiful girl.”
Unfortunately, I am not handsome likeAota, nor do I have any special skills.
I am just a side character, just friend A.
I can’t even imagine what kind of face I’m making to Shiramine right now.
“…There’s no way that’s true. Senpai…”
Suddenly Shiramine looked down. The cuteness from earlier disappeared and the arms around me tightened.
“Shiramine-san?”
“No, it’s nothing. Let’s go quickly.”
It seemed that I’d upset Shiramine.
Shiramine’s expression suddenly turned blank, as if she had lost interest and was disappointed.
I must have said something to annoy her
With Shiramine’s hand once again pulling me out of the line, I left the line. I went into the entrance next to the crowded reception area.
I”I’m sorry! This entrance is …….”
One of the cast members approaches me apologetically.
“I’d like to use this ticket, if you don’t mind.”
“This!! This?!”
As soon as he saw the golden ticket at his slender fingertips, his expression turned pale and he immediately ran off to get his boss.
And so, when his superior was called, he began to flatter Shiramine with a mixture of awe and reverence.
As for Shiramine, er expressionless face from moments ago was a lie, as she now had a gentle attitude and humble responses.
The …… little devil is wearing a mask, that’s what it looks like.
“Then, please enjoy yourselves at ease.”
The small talk was moderate, and the gate opened. It was like a gateway to another world. I squinted at the light coming in from the other side.
“Let’s go, senpai.”
“O-oh.”
And so we entered.
Into a theme park of dreams and hopes.
“Senpai, what are you doing?”
Shiramine, who entered the park one step ahead of me, turned around and asked me that.

People live their lives supported by something.
If you are a child, you are supported by your parents, if you are a couple, you are supported by each other.
There are various forms, and there are various circumstances.
And then there was junior high school. It was a letter that helped support Kazekawa Tsuki, who many times wanted to disappear.
It was quietly placed in her shoe box. It was a piece of loose-leaf paper with no address or even sender written on it.
[──You are not alone. I know you’re working hard, and I know you’re suffering. So you can rest easy now.]
The letter was only three lines long, and I can’t tell you how much it encouraged me.
And the person who sent it to me. Now that he was right in front of me, it was impossible for my heart not to tremble.
“Hnn, What’s wrong? What’s wrong, chairman? You don’t like this place?”
“No, no, not at all. …… I’ve always wanted to come here.”
A little past noon, a restaurant in the park.
Aota, Tsuki, and Mihoshi were seated at a table for four.
Tsuki was not comfortable in any way. It was partly because there were many people in the park’s restaurant, but it was probably because of the fancy interior and unrealistic atmosphere.
“I hear these are pretty tasty, Tsuki-senpai”
“Thanks, Mihoshi…chan. I think I’ll eay that.”
My heart had been pounding since earlier, and I just couldn’t stay calm.
I was glad Mihoshi had come. Just thinking about what would have happened if it had been just the two of us, Aota and I, was terrifying.
“Well then, may I ask you to do it?”
“Y-yeah”
Mihoshi was a junior student who was a member of the student council in junior high school and a good friend of hers
And just like with Tsuki, she also feels for Souta…
“Ah, it’s Aota-kun!”
“!?”
Tsuki’s shoulders jumped at the familiar voice.
When he turned around fearfully, he found that he was there.
“Takasaki, it’s been a while.”
“Aota, a date? …No, not that.”
It was a classmate from junior high school.
