“Almost there.”

The time is 30 minutes past one o’clock. The meeting time was 2:00 p.m., so there was still 30 minutes to go.

While thinking about this, I arrived at the meeting place……but it seemed like Kaoru had already arrived.

“I should’ve come earlier……”.

As I was thinking about this, I looked at Kaoru and noticed that she seemed to be really fired up, which was different from usual.

Of course, she is usually looking very cute, but today she looks even cuter than usual……

I don’t know if I should prove this, but there were a number of people walking, stopping, and looking twice, fascinated by Kaoru.

Well, it’s only natural…..especially if you’re a guy.

As I approached Kaoru with these thoughts in mind, Kaoru noticed me and came trotting towards me, waving at me.

“Hello Kaito kun !”

“Oh, hello. I’m sorry for making you wait.”

When I said that, Kaoru replied with a smile.

“It’s okay, Kaito kun ! I just arrived here. Besides, you’re 30 minutes earlier than the meeting time.”

“I see. Thank you. Of course Kaoru is usually cute, but today she is even cuter than usual.”

When I said that, Kaoru’s cheeks turned red, she turned her eyes away and said shyly.

“I-is that so…..”

“Of course. I’m sure even Kaoru has felt the stares of many people, right? That’s because Kaoru is cute, right?”

“….T-thank you,…..but I’m not happy if someone other than Kaito kun thinks so…..”

I thought Kaoru was really cute when she shyly said that.

However, I was a little concerned about whether the same was true for Yamazaki, but I only thought about it a little and it quickly disappeared from my mind.

“I see. Then I’ll have to work hard so that Kaoru will think I’m cool.”

I said this jokingly and Kaoru fell silent for a bit and then said in a small voice, her face turning redder than before.

“I think you’re really cool, Kaito kun…….”

“I see. That makes me really happy. Thank you.”

“Y-yeah……”

“Let’s go to see the movie then.”

I said that with a smile and put my hand out to Kaoru.

In response, Kaoru was timid and then slowly took my hand.

Kaoru’s face was still bright red as she held my hand.

Even though we slept together once, is she still embarrassed to do this in public?

“Let’s go then.”

“Yeah……”

And then Kaoru and I headed to the movie theater, holding hands.

–When we arrived at the movie theater, Kaoru and I were choosing our seats together.

“Which seat do you want? Do you prefer to sit in the back?”

“I guess. I think I prefer to sit in the back.”

“Then you wanna sit in the back?”

“Yeah, why don’t we sit here?”

When I said so, Kaoru said so and pointed at me.

“Are you sure?”

I said and she glanced at me, then turned her eyes away and nodded silently.

The reason I asked that was because it was a couple’s seat.

To be honest, I was going to suggest that we have a couple’s seats, but I was surprised to hear Kaoru say so before I did……

I was seriously surprised but quite happy.

“Then let’s choose this.”

“Yeah……”

Today’s Kaoru is a little different from usual…..until the other day, she used to look me in the eye and talk to me quite a bit, but today she doesn’t look me in the eye so much, or rather she’s turned her head away from me.

Well. It’s the first time we’ve gone out together, so maybe that’s why?

With that in mind, I went with Kaoru to buy drinks and popcorn before heading to the theater.

“This is the seat.”

“Yeah.”

We sat down, but perhaps because we were closer than I had expected, Kaoru became silent.

There was a little more time before the movie started, so I decided to talk to Kaoru in order to relieve her tension.

“By the way, Kaoru, do you often come to see movies?”

“Eh? No, I don’t come here often.”

“Then, did you originally wanna see the movie we are seeing today?”

“Yes. I saw the original novel quite a while ago and liked it a lot, so I was curious about it.”

When I asked that, Kaoru happily answered.

“I see. That’s why you wanted to come.”

“Yeah. But I was a little hesitant to come alone, so I’m glad you could come with me, Kaito kun.”

I was curious about Yamazaki at this point, but I stopped asking because I was convinced that he would never be interested in a romantic movie and would probably turn it down.

“I see. Thanks for inviting me. I’m glad I got to come with Kaoru too.”

“Yeah ! Thank you for coming too, Kaito kun !”

Unlike before, Kaoru said in a more relaxed manner, so the tension seems to have eased off.

“It’s about to start.”

“You’re right.”

–And so the movie began.

“It was interesting, wasn’t it ! Kaito kun !”

“Yes, it was. It sure was pretty funny.”

“I know, right ! Even so, Kaito kun was really concentrating, wasn’t he?”

Kaoru laughed and said this to me as we walked together after leaving the theater.

“Well. Because it was more interesting than I imagined it would be. I mean, you’re the one who said that, aren’t you?”

“Fufufu. I guess so.”

To be honest, I was thinking that we could have a kissing situation while watching the movie, but Kaoru was watching the movie so seriously that I had to let go of that thought and concentrate on the movie.

I thought it would be okay to at least hold hands with her during the movie if possible, but I didn’t want to disturb her while she was seriously enjoying the movie.

“Oh yeah. Do you still have the novel this movie is based on?”

“Of course I still have it ! I just read it again a week ago.”

“Wow, is this kind of thing interesting even if you know what it’s about?”

“Of course it is ! It depends on the person, but I’m the type of person who enjoys it regardless ! Besides, novels have their own merits, and so do movies !”

“I see……then, if it’s okay with Kaoru, could you lend me that novel? I’m a little curious about it too.”

“What ! You’ll read it !? Of course it’s okay ! I’ll bring it next time ! ! !”

When I said so, Kaoru seemed very happy and said so.

Well, Kaoru loves to read, so she must have been really happy when I said I wanted to read.

In case you are wondering, I didn’t say I wanted to read it to make Kaoru happy, I was there because I was actually interested in it.

But well, if it made Kaoru happy, I’m even happier about it.

“Thank you.”

“Yeah !”

–We then sat outside on a bench and talked.

“What are you gonna do after this, Kaoru?”

“Erm, Kaito kun……”

After I asked that, Kaoru said so in a serious mood.

“What’s wrong?”

“I,…..have thought about it a lot…..”

“What do you mean you’ve thought about it?”

“I thought about the fact that…..Kaito kun told me that he liked me.”

“Is that right……”

“Yeah….so. I told you I can’t give you an answer yet, right?”

Maybe she feels bad about that?

With Kaoru’s personality, it’s totally possible…..I told her not to worry about it at all, and it’s fine to let her decide slowly.

I thought so and decided to tell her as it is.

“If you’re worried about that and feel sorry, you don’t have to worry about it at all, okay? I’ll wait for Kaoru, so take your time, okay?”

“N-no, it’s not that…ah, no, I did feel bad about it, but not now……”

After saying that, Kaoru stopped, looking extremely nervous.

“Yeah.”

“It’s not that……I just got my answer then, so……can I answer now?’

“Okay.”

I said seriously.

“M-me too, not that ……p-please go out with me……I realized yesterday that I only love Kaito kun……I want to be with Kaito kun forever !”

Kaoru said this with a lot of momentum all at once from her shy expression.

I was thrilled to hear such unexpected words because the other day she had just told me that she couldn’t give me an answer yet.

I was a little curious about what had happened over the past few days, but I was too happy to ask.

“Kaoru? Really?”

“Yeah. I’m serious……here’s the proof…….”

I looked at Kaoru and she kissed me.
