“Happy Birthday right, tomorrow?”
While eating the dessert fruit, Madoka san takes out the paper bag she brought earlier.
“This is for you, Chifuyu. If you feel lonely, read this.”
When she opened the bag, she found a book.
“What’s this?”
“I used to read it when I was lonely. It’s a simple love story, but it calms me down. It was given to me by my late father, but I think the contents are good.”
“I-I can’t get such a precious thing.”
“It’s okay. Because thanks to Chifuyu, I don’t feel lonely anymore. But Chifuyu still feels a little lonely sometimes, right? If so, read it and calm your mind.’’
“Madoka…… yeah, I will never forget Madoka”
“It’s like I’m dead, but I wonder if I’ll be okay.”
Ahaha, Madoka san laughs and stuffs her cheek with an apple.
“I’m going to read …… this. When I miss you, I’ll read this and wait for you.”
“Yeah, yeah. Then it’s time for me to go home. The other bag is filled with candy, sweets, and other items.”
Another bag was filled with sweets and snacks.
Chifuyu’s mother seems to be most happy with things like this, so Madoka-san puts it down and quickly heads toward the entrance.
The two of us went to see her off.
Then, Chifuyu stepped forward a little.
There, Chifuyu said to Madoka san as she was putting on her shoes.
“You know, we’ve promised to get married.”
“Ara, well, that’s great. But I’m not surprised now.”
“Madoka…… thanks for everything.”
“No, no, no. Thank you, Chifuyu. Even though I’m not as good as junor, I’ll always be with you.”
“Yes. I love you, too, Madoka.”
When Madoka san leaves with a smile still on her face, the house becomes quiet, as if the bustle just a moment ago was a lie.
“…… You had a good time, Chifuyu.”
“Yeah. I love this kind of thing”
“That’s right. It’s good to have just the two of us all the time, but sometimes it’s nice to have all of us together.”
“….It’s strange. I’ve never felt this way before.”
“Both Chifuyu and I have grown up a little bit. We’ll probably continue to change. There will come a time when we’ll wonder why we were thinking the way we were back then.”
“Yes. But …… my feelings for Toma kun won’t change.”
“Me too. The only thing that will never change is the fact that I love Chifuyu.”
I Hold her shoulder gently.
I stood staring at the entrance for a while, soaking in the afterglow of the fun time we had just had.
The two of us then cleaned up together and went back to our rooms.
◇
“Toma kun, have a good day.”
It’s the day of my part-time job.
Chifuyu sees me off at the door and waves to me with a big smile on her face.
“Yes, I’m off. It’s going to be a long day, but take your time.”
“You have a part-time job until 5:00 pm, right? I’ll pick you up then.”
“I’ll be waiting for you. I’ll see you later.”
We kissed, and I went out on my own.
Chifuyu no longer follows me or looks desperate.
I think she’s still pushing herself a little too hard.
Still, I think she’s changed a lot.
“Welcome”
When I’m at work, I don’t think about Chifuyu anymore.
She picks me up after work, and when I get home, we’re together all the time.
So I’m working as hard as I can.
I’m also looking forward to the move next week and the second semester that will begin after that.
Chifuyu and I will spend one more year together in high school.
including the sports festival, the cultural festival, Christmas, New Year’s, and Valentine’s Day.
Thinking that we will be together forever, I can do my best to enjoy those times.
I am always in a hurry to respond to the constant flow of customers since lunchtime, and before I know it, it’s evening.
As usual, Chifuyu comes to pick me up.
“Toma kun, thank you for your hard work.”
She smiles at me as she puts down her shopping bag.
I stop working for a moment to admire the sight of her.
“Yeah, I’m almost done.”
“Well, I’m off to do some shopping.”
When it was just about five o’clock, I settled Chifuyu’s bill at the checkout counter.
After that, I left my part-time job and packed the items we bought together into a bag.
I took the bags and we went outside together, and Chifuyu opened her umbrella.
“It’s still hot, isn’t it?”
“Yes. But it’s almost autumn. Summer vacation was great, but I’m looking forward to the second semester.”
“I want to go to the school festival with Toma-kun. Also, I’m going to cheer for you at the sports festival.”
“Hahaha, I’m so embarrassed.”
I went home with Chifuyu.
Since we are about to move, most of our belongings are packed in cardboard boxes.
As we lined up on the bed, looking out at the slightly deserted room, Chifuyu started to feel pampered.
“Toma-kun,…… chu.”
“YEah……Hnn.”
“It’s …… delicious. You know, Toma kun, you have a very sweet taste.”
“Is that so? Chifuyu has a sweeter flavor.”
“No, it’s very sweet. I love the taste, the smell, everything about Toma-kun. I love Toma kun.”
“Thank you. I love you, Chifuyu.”
“Let’s go into the futon ……, shall we?”
“Yes.”
It’s still a little early to go to bed, so I turn off the light.
Chifuyu and I lay our bodies together to make up for the time we missed each other.
We get so excited that we forget to eat dinner, and when the stomach finally wakes up at night, the two of us get out of bed together.
“You must be starving.”
“Yeah, ……, but you did a lot for me, so I’m full.”
“Well, let’s make something light.”
“I’ll make some somen noodles.”
Everyday, this kind of thing happened.
I didn’t do anything special with her, and we just spent our summer vacation together.
But this summer was a special time for both Chifuyu and me.
And that special time passed slowly.
The day of moving out arrived.
