“I agreed to meet up with Kano san and my brother in front of the convention headquarters tent, so let’s get going.”
“Ummm, but can’t we wait until after we eat the takoyaki?”
Suzuno had been in front of the takoyaki stall while I was on the phone, so I had a feeling that this was going to happen.
“I’m sure there are other takoyaki stalls.”
“I really want to try the takoyaki here.”
Suzuno has always had a surprisingly stubborn side, but it seems that hasn’t changed.
“Fine, there’s still time until the fireworks, so let’s eat before we go.”
“Yay, thanks.”
Suzuno looked so happy. I guess she really wanted to eat the takoyaki from this stall. While I was waiting in line for the time being, Suzuno started talking to me.
“Speaking of which, isn’t it quite rare that it’s just me and Yuito kun?”
“That’s true, usually it’s with Kano san or my brother.”
“I wonder when is the last time we spent time alone together like this.”
I heard Suzuno’s words and I tried to dig up my memory too, but I couldn’t recall anything at all. We occasionally had casual conversations at school and other places, but I really don’t remember spending any serious time together these days.
As I was thinking about this, I felt a strong sense of discomfort with myself. I was not very happy to be alone with Suzuno.
Even though it would have been a situation where I would have jumped for joy before. I can’t put it into words, but I feel like there’s something different about me from before.
“What’s wrong with your sudden silence…..?”
“….I’m sorry, I was just thinking about my summer assignment.”
I immediately lied to Suzuno, who looked into my face with a strange look on her face.
“You’re as serious as ever, Yuito kun, thinking about your assignment around this time.”
“I think you should be a little more serious, but you left it until the last minute last year and came crying to me on the last day.”
“Ugh…….”
Suzuno, who seemed to have been hit in a painful place, groaned and fell silent. By the way, even though she was crying, I didn’t let her copy the entire assignment. Because I thought that doing something like that wouldn’t help Suzuno.
“Of course you know that, but I won’t show it to you even if you come crying to me this year.”
“Eh, do something about that.”
“In the first place, if Suzuno wants to contact me, she basically has to go through Kano san, right?”
“Ah, I see. I had decided not to contact you directly.”
Ever since Kano san deleted Rino’s contact information along with the girl’s, it was never registered on my smartphone again.
At first, I tried to re-register, but Suzuno’s stubbornness kicked in here too and she refused. Well, these days, I don’t even feel like re-registering in the first place.
“I don’t think anything will happen if Kano san finds out.”
“……Yeah, I guess I’ll stop.”
Kano san is quite strict about this, so there’s no doubt that a big thunderstorm will strike the day she tries to copy the entire assignment.
And Suzuno is not going to exchange contact information with me again even if it comes to this situation. How stubborn is she? After that, while we were chatting among ourselves, it was our turn to buy takoyaki and we were finally able to buy some.
“Yeah, it’s delicious.”
Suzuno was so excited that she wanted to eat it.
Suzuno and I stood on the side of the road and ate the takoyaki. It probably had some fireworks magic, but it was really delicious. In no time, there was only one left.
“I’ll give the last one, Suzuno.”
“Eh, is that okay?”
“Yeah, I’ve had enough.”
The truth is, I still had a little bit of desire to eat it, but Suzuno was eating it so deliciously that I decided to give it up.
“Thank you, Yuito kun.”
Suzuno put the last piece in her mouth with a big smile on her face. The phone in my pocket started to vibrate as I looked at it, thinking that Suzuno was still eating as delicious as ever. The screen displayed Yuuki Kano.
“Hello?”
“Oh, Yuito? Ayato and I are already in front of the tournament headquarters tent, when are you arriving?”
“Sorry, Suzuno and I are eating takoyaki together, so it will be a while longer.”
When I answer that, Kano san’s tone of voice clearly lowers.
“Heh, so Yuito is flirting with Suzuno chan while leaving me alone”
“No, no, we just eat takoyaki normally.”
“I feel like a man and a woman eating takoyaki together at a fireworks display is nothing more other than lovers, don’t you?”
“I think you’re over-interpreting the situation.”
I tried my best to make things right with Kano san who was in a bad mood. However, there is no sign that Kano san’s mood will improve.
“If you’re going to say something like that, maybe I should share some shaved ice with Ayato and eat it too?”
“…I’m sorry, it was my fault.”
I felt extremely disgusted as I imagined Kano san and my brother eating shaved ice together, so I apologized.
I probably wouldn’t have felt this way before, so maybe I’m more into Kano san than I thought.
