A few days passed in the blink of an eye, and life at my parents’ house settled down a bit.
Towa san had been constantly busy with my family, but she finally came back to me…
“Would you like to go out together today?”
I decided to take her on our last date of the year.
“Come on, get in.”
I opened the door of my car in the garage.
Of course, it wasn’t my car, but my dad’s, but he had agreed to let me borrow it today.
“…Should I drive?”
“I’d like to give Towa san a ride.”
It’s not very cool to drive my dad’s car, but as her boyfriend, I wanted to have her sit in the passenger seat.
“Thank you for your kindness, Dear.”
Towa san smiled and got into the car.
I followed her into the driver’s seat.
It had been a while since I’d driven, so I was honestly a little nervous, but since it was my hometown, I knew the roads well, so it should be fine.
I was a bit worried about the snow, but fortunately the weather was nice and it was a pleasant winter day.
I wanted to show Towa san a good side of myself. With that in mind, I started driving boldly.
At the edge of my vision, her beautiful silver hair swayed.
Ah, driving with her by my side…this is the best…! !
“By the way, where are we going today?”
“Hmm, it’s still a secret.”
“Come on, tell me.”
“You’ll definitely like it, Towa san.”
“…Is it a love hotel?”
“Buh !?”
There are certainly plenty of love hotels around here…!?
“Just kidding. You’re welcome, though.”
Towa san smiled mischievously.
She was very charming, but I wished she wouldn’t say that while I was driving. It made my hands shake.
Soon, we reached the coastal road.
“Wow, the sea ! A sea ! Itsuki san !”
Towa san points excitedly out the window.
“It’s really rough, isn’t it?”
The raging winter Sea of Japan. For someone unaccustomed to it, it must be an awe-inspiring sight.
Her eyes sparkling with excitement as she gazes at the sea, she looks innocent and adorable, a complete contrast to earlier.
“Let’s stop by the sea on the way back.”
“Is that okay?”
“Yeah, I know a good spot.”
With that, I quickly came up with a new date plan and drove toward our first destination.
After about an hour, I parked the car in the parking lot.
I wasn’t used to backing into a parking space, but I managed to do it on the first try, so I was able to save face without looking incompetent.
When the two of us got out of the car, the scent of the sea breeze tickled our nostrils.
“Is this a market?”
“Yeah. They sell a lot of fresh fish here.”
‘That’s wonderful…♪”
We had arrived at the most famous market street in the area. There were many fishmongers and seafood restaurants lined up, and they also did beach grilling.
As I had expected, she, who loved cooking, had her eyes shining as brightly as when she saw the sea.
“Let’s hurry up and go…”
Towa san immediately took my hand and started walking briskly.
“Be careful, there are a lot of people. Let’s walk slowly.”
In this rural area with few places to play, this is a popular spot for young couples.
It was the end of the year, so there were a lot of people around.
But I had always wanted to come here on a drive date, so I was also very excited.
I walked side by side with Towa san, our fingers intertwined.
Since we were here, we decided to enjoy some street food first.
“Crab soup for 100 yen…!?”
Towa san couldn’t help but exclaim when she saw the price of the large pot boiling on the storefront.
“That’s too cheap…!”
Her eyes were still sparkling like a child’s.
“Hey, wanna buy some? Since you’re so pretty, I’ll put extra crab in it for you. Have a good time drinking with your boyfriend over there !”
“…! I’ll buy it ! Definitely !”
Towa san immediately took out her wallet, swayed by the old man’s words. By the way, our wallets are almost shared.
“They also do beach grilling.”
“Your boyfriend has good taste ! I’ll throw in a little extra for you~?”
Once he said that, there was no way we could resist buying it.
We ended up buying crab soup, grilled squid, butter-grilled scallops, steamed oysters, and various skewers to our heart’s content.
Since the grilled items take a bit of time, we purchased sushi as the main dish while waiting and managed to secure a table seat.
Just in time, the old man called out to us, and we received the items. There were far more extras than expected, and once they were laid out on the table, it was like a festival.
Maybe we didn’t need the sushi after all. However, Towa san was in a good mood, excited by the fresh seafood.
Even if there’s leftovers, I’ll do my best.
“Let’s eat.”
We clasped our hands together.
Towa san, being the maid, usually waits for me to start eating, but today I let her go first.
It’s local food, and I was the one guiding her.
First, the warm soup.
Towa san held the bowl and slowly sipped the crab soup with graceful, picturesque movements.
After swallowing, she smiled contentedly and exhaled a white breath.
“This is delicious…♪”
Seeing her happy face is my happiness.
