Episode 16 – Holiday schedule

During Golden Week, five childhood friends decided to go out together.

…I felt kind of sorry about it. Sena said she didn’t want to go unless all five of us were there, but I’m sure that wasn’t the case for Renka. Of course she wouldn’t want to go to an amusement park with someone she didn’t like.

I should have been more firm in my refusal, but in the end, I gave in to Sena’s pressure over chat.

“Haa…”

I sighed.  

Through the call, Suzukita san replied with a sulky voice.

[Hey, Ayatacchi? Why are you sighing?]

“No, sorry. It’s nothing.”

That’s right. I was talking to Suzukita san on the phone while playing Anfil multiplayer.  

Maybe it was because I had been studying until just a moment ago, but Enfil felt twice as fun as usual. I thought to myself, “Taking a break is great.”  

“Actually, I’m sorry, Suzukita san. I had to push back our plans by a day.”

[Oh, that? I don’t mind at all. I’m just bored anyway.]

Suzukita san said that in a cheerful voice.  

Suzukita san and I had planned to go to the Anfil collaboration café during Golden Week. However, unfortunately, the date coincided with the one proposed by Sena and the others. So, I had no choice but to ask Suzukita san to reschedule.

[Well, I’m fine with whatever works for me. Hehe, I’m looking forward to it! !]

“A collaboration café? I’ve never been to one of those before.”

[It’s my first time too. Going to something like that alone takes a bit of courage, you know?]  

From my perspective, going with a beauty like Suzukita-san would be more nerve-wracking…but I’ll keep that to myself.

[Hmm, it’s already ten !? I have to go to bed.]

“Oh, it’s that late? Then I’ll hang up.”  

[Yeah. I was having so much fun with Ayatacchi that I lost track of time.]

Ugh…Suzukita san says things like that without even realizing it.  

I might accidentally fall for her, so I really wish she’d stop.

[Well, good night, Ayatacchi. See you tomorrow at school !]

“Oh, okay. Good night.”

I ended the call and closed the chat.  

Then I flopped onto my bed and opened the group chat with my childhood friends to read through the history.  

“…Renka was really in a bad mood, wasn’t she…”

I didn’t see her face while we were talking, so I can’t be sure.

But…assuming that Renka hates me, her recent messages seemed like she was venting her frustration at me.

At least on that day, I should try not to talk to Renka as much as possible.

Thinking that, I headed to the bathroom to brush my teeth.

◇◇◇

A few days passed—it was the third day of Golden Week, Monday.

While I was fiddling with my smartphone at the nearest station, a familiar blonde beauty approached from ahead.

“Ayatacchi, morning ! Sorry, did I keep you waiting?”

“It’s okay. I just finished my daily tasks.”

“Fufu, what’s that? Ayatacchi, you’re so funny.”

Saying that, Suzukita san laughed. Of course, she was wearing casual clothes.

Or rather…as expected, Suzukita san is incredibly stylish.

She was dressed in a typical gal style. A shoulder-baring knit top, short pants, and high-end long boots. Suzukita san’s beautiful thighs looked even more alluring than usual.

“Hey, Ayatacchi. You’re staring at my legs too much. It’s obvious, you know?”

“Ugh…sorry.”

“Fufu, I’m just kidding. I’m dressed like this today to show off to Ayatacchi. If you want to look, you can look more.”

What the hell. Gals are really scary.  

If I keep hearing things like that, I might end up falling for Suzukita san for real.  

If I could cut off my feelings for Koiuta, I’d probably fall for Suzukita san easily. And in the end, I’d probably get rejected badly.

“Alright, let’s go ! Our destination is Ikebukuro, Ayatacchi !”

After that, we talked about Anfil while transferring trains and headed to Ikebukuro.

When I was with Suzukita san, I could forget about Renka. …The childhood friend who said she hated me, my first love.

So this time was very comfortable for me.
