“I’ll never ride that thing again.”
After finishing the coaster, Sasagawa and I took a break with a drink.
Rikuto and the others headed for another attraction.
In the end, we were able to get some time alone together, which was a good thing.
“That’s why I told you not to push yourself too hard. You took advantage of the cheap provocation. Are you a child?”
“That was Kinako’s fault. She did it on purpose to piss me off.”
Sasagawa and Wado have known each other for a long time, so they know each other’s good points, bad points, and even weak points.
“It’s tough being best friends, isn’t it?”
“You say that like it’s someone else’s business, but even Kenchi is best friends with Makocchan, isn’t he?”
“Makocchan is Makoto, right? Well, I guess you could say we’re best friends, but…”
I haven’t known him as long as Sasagawa knows Wado, so I don’t know everything about him.
“Well, whatever it is, I need to take a break for a while before I can move.”
With Sasagawa slumped, she took a drink from her hand.
Although it was quite expensive, it tasted cheap enough that anyone could make it.
“It’s rather expensive. This juice.”
“Wow, Kenchi is the type of person who says things like that. People won’t like it if you say something like that on a date.
“I don’t care. I don’t have a date.”
“What about now?”
“I’m just babysitting.”
Sasagawa giggled, so I snickered back, and her cheeks instantly puffed out.
“That’s why Kenchi can’t go on a single date.”
“Don’t make fun of me. I have dates too.”
With my ex-sister.
“Really? Is she your girlfriend?”
“No.”
“I knew it. I don’t think Kenchi can get a girlfriend.”
I’d like to say that’s an exaggeration, but I can’t argue with that because I’ve never actually had a girlfriend.
“Have you ever had a boyfriend, Sasagawa?
“That’s a secret.”
Maybe she’s getting better, or maybe she’s just getting snarky, or maybe she’s just getting a little too aggressive with her words.
“I asked you this before, but don’t you want to have a girlfriend or something?”
“No, I don’t think so.”
“Why is that?”
“Because….”
I could say it’s because of the trauma, but I don’t want to explain how it happened.
I think for a moment and utter a safe answer.
“I can’t imagine what’s gonna happen next. Like the part where we go out and then do something.”
After saying this, I realize that it is close to what I really mean.
It’s not that I’m not interested in girls.
But even if I were to go out with a girl, I can’t imagine what would happen after that.
I can’t imagine someone standing next to me as my girlfriend.
“You won’t know that until you experience it, right?”
“That’s true, but…”
“Are you sure you don’t have a libido, Kenchi?”
“I have as much as anyone.”
“Eh?”
“What?”
“No, you’re too straightforward… I’m a bit surprised.”
I thought that she would not have that reaction after asking me herself, but I feel like telling a girl whether I have sexual desire or not is a new kind of sexual harassment.
“…My bad.”
“I don’t mind if you don’t apologize. I see, so there is still a chance for Miyu?”
“Hananoi? Why are you mentioning her?”
There was no Hananoi in the current conversation.
“If you can’t understand that, then Kenchi is no good at all.”
The story was completed only in Sasagawa’s mind, and I was left feeling bewildered.
I thought about asking her about it, but I didn’t want to continue the love conversation, so I swallowed it down.
“Okay ! Now that you’re feeling better, let’s go.”
“I guess so.”
Sasagawa’s color had improved, and we both stood up from our seats.
“Onii chan…”
I heard a faint voice from somewhere.
Sasagawa seemed to hear it too and looked around.
I looked down and saw a little girl looking up at me with moist eyes.
“Erm, Onii chan? Your sister, Kenchi?”
“No, I don’t know her at all.”
I couldn’t leave the little girl alone, even though I didn’t know her, so I squatted down and talked to her.
“Erm, where are your parents?”
The girl looked as if she was about to start crying.
I was in a panic, not knowing what to do, when Sasagawa said,
“Kenchi, you really are no good.”
Sasagawa also crouches down.
“What’s your name?”
“…Koharu.”
Sasagawa asked gently, and the girl said in a small voice.
“I see, Koharu chan. I’m Kaoru, nice to meet you. this mister over here is Kenchi.”
Koharu chan seemed a little relieved and her tears seemed to have subsided.
I was honestly impressed with Sasagawa.
“You’re very good at this.”
“I’m used to dealing with my cousins and so on. We’ll have to find Koharu chan’s parents for now.”
Sasagawa then held out her hand to her.
Kohar -chan squeezed it tightly and held out her free hand to me.
“Erm…….”
“Hold her hands. Onii chan.”
I was annoyed that Sasagawa was grinning at me, but I didn’t want her to cry again if I refused to hold her hand, so I held her hand.
“Wouldn’t it be better to go to a lost child center instead of trying to find it on your own?”
“That’s true. Well then, why don’t you head to the lost child center and look for them on your own?”
We got into trouble and ended up holding hands with Koharu chan and looking for her parents.
