After about ten minutes on the ropeway, we arrived at Souunzan Station, where we changed to the cable car and started heading for Hakone-Yumoto Station.
Our little trip to Hakone, which was triggered by a bowling match at Phase One, was finally almost over. Kano san has been pushing me around a lot since yesterday, but it was so much fun that I feel a little sad about it.
“The two days on Saturday and Sunday really flew by, didn’t they?”
“Yes, I had a lot of fun with Kano san.”
“Yeah, me too.”
Kano san seemed pleased with herself. It’s been a while since I’ve seen Kano san so happy, so I’m sure she’s satisfied from the bottom of her heart.
“I know you know this, but please don’t tell anyone that you went with me.”
“I knew it, Yuito is still a worrier as usual.”
“If it gets out, it could be really troublesome.”
If she inadvertently tells people that she went with me, my brother will definitely find out through Suzuno. I really want you to give me a break from that.
“I just thought that Ayato would know that I went to Hakone because of the souvenirs I bought. I’ve already tweeted on SNS that I went to Hakone, so if we went at the same time, he would definitely get suspicious.”
“Ah, I’m planning to buy special souvenirs for my brother and father at Shinjuku Station and do a thorough job of disguising them, so it’s fine.”
There’s a place at Shinjuku Station that sells souvenirs from all over the Kanto region, so I’m planning to buy something from Chiba, Saitama, or Ibaraki to fool them.
I’m sure my brother and father will be able to guess where I’m going by looking at the souvenirs. And if I tell them about the story I made up to make it look like that, my cover-up will probably be perfect.
Incidentally, the souvenirs I actually bought from Hakone, such as soba noodles and black curry, will be secretly given only to my mother, who is my accomplice in the case of the trip, to keep her quiet.
“Heh, you’ve thought of everything in that area carefully, haven’t you?”
“Don’t underestimate me, I’m the best when it comes to self-protection.”
“It’s not cool to say that with a smug look on your face.”
Kano san giggles when she hears my words. We talked happily for a while and time flew by and we arrived at Hakone-Yumoto station. There we changed to the Romancecar.
“Speaking of which, has Suzuno chan and Ayato’s date ended yet?”
“……Eh?”
“Hm, you didn’t know? Suzuno chan is supposed to have a date with Ayato today.”
“It’s completely new to me……”
I’ve never heard of my brother and Suzuno having a date before. Kano san probably didn’t notice that I was obviously less excited, but she kept talking.
“Today they’re going shopping and then they’re going to play at my house. It seems that mom and dad won’t be home until tonight, so I hope they don’t mess around.”
“……I don’t think that’s going to happen.”
I said those words as if I were fooling myself. To begin with, the two of them are still in high school, so I can’t imagine them doing something like that.
“If you think about it normally, I guess so, but I don’t know. Suzuno chan just asked me how much it hurt the first time.”
“S-she just asked out of curiosity…”
I’m trying to stay as calm as possible, but inside I’m extremely upset. Honestly, I didn’t want to think of Suzuno and my brother doing something like that.
“I guess so, isn’t it highly unlikely that Suzuno chan will climb the adult ladder before her sister?”
“Of course, so there’s nothing to worry about.”
In the first place, I don’t think that Suzuno, who is so inexperienced that she can’t even ask about my brother’s plans, would be able to invite him out. Besides, my brother also likes Kano san, so there’s no way he would mess with his younger sister, Suzuno.
Even though I was aware of this, I couldn’t calm down anyway because I was thinking of all the things that could happen. Needless to say, the fun mood I was in earlier was ruined at once.
I don’t think this little trip was planned by Kano san to keep me out of the way of Ryanno and my brother, right?
No, that’s a bit too much to ask. But I can’t deny it, and I still think it’s suspicious. While I was stuck in this endless loop of thoughts, I realized that a considerable amount of time had passed and I had arrived at Shinjuku station.
“Then let’s just do some quick shopping and go home.”
“……Eh, what is it?”
“You said earlier you were going to buy some souvenirs for your cover, did you forget about them by any chance?”
“Oh, that’s right…….”
I almost forgot because I was thinking too much about Suzuno and my brother. You have always had to be careful because when you enter your own world, you lose sight of your surroundings and can only think about one thing.
I then went to the souvenir shop at Shinjuku station and bought some random souvenirs. Needless to say, I carefully selected the souvenirs to disguise my destination. Thus ended my little trip to Hakone.
