“Haruka, Sara, I got you something.”
“Welcome back, you two.”
“Then Haruka chan and I are going to use the kitchen.”
“Yeah, thanks.”
Haruka and Sara went to the kitchen to cook.
So it was just the two of us in the room, me and Ai.
I wasn’t sure what to talk about, but I decided to ask something that was on my mind.
“Speaking of which, when are Ai and Sara’s birthdays?”
I knew their birthdays, but I thought it was necessary to ask her what I wanted to ask her.
“My birthday is September 16th and Sara’s is November 12th.”
“I see. Do you have a party or something?”
“Yes, we do every year…”
“That means… that Kamiya will be there, too?”
“Well… he was there last year.”
Ai said, looking a bit put off.
Well, it’s no wonder…what are they going to do this year?
Either way, it’s going to be a pain in the ass.
“Right, ……”
“But as for me, I don’t think I want Suguru to celebrate my birthday with me this year.”
Ai looked at my face and said so with concern.
I guess I subconsciously let it show on my face. ……
“I see, but I have a feeling that would be a hassle. ……”
“I know, I’m a little worried about that part too……”
“I know, but there’s still time for us to figure it out together.”
“Yeah, thanks.”
“Well, now’s a good time to talk about something more fun.”
It was getting a little dark, so I said that to change the subject.
“Yeah, sure.”
Then we passed the time talking about nothing else.
“Sorry Akuru, Ai, dinner is ready!”
I heard Haruka’s voice calling out to us, so Ai and I headed over to Haruka and her friends.
“Thanks for waiting”
“Come on, you two, sit down!”
There was a table with some delicious stew, fried chicken, and meat and potatoes.
“Haruka and Sara are both great cooks after all!”
“Well, you know ♪I like to cook”
“I’m not as good as Haruka chan….but thank you.”
“Moouu, Sara chi is not like that, Akuru, Ai chan, try that meat and potatoes, it’s Sara chi’s cooking!”
With that being said, Ai and I brought the meat and potatoes in front of us to our mouths.
The potatoes were fluffy, with a moderate sweetness and a very good balance, and the meat was tender, with a gentle flavor that was just right to accompany the white rice.
I could feel Sara’s kindness through the food, and I felt it was very tasty.
“The potatoes and the meat were both very tasty! The potatoes and meat are so good that I could eat them forever.”
“Yes, I think it’s very tasty, too.”
We both gave our honest opinions.
“Right! Sara chi, you are a good cook, you should be more confident!”
“T-thank you…Haruka chan, Ai chan, and Akuru-kun ……”
Sara said, looking a little embarrassed and downcast.
We then enjoyed our meal, chatting and laughing happily.
After the meal was over and everyone had finished cleaning up, I said
“Well, I guess it’s time to split up.”
Haruka’s face turned sour as I said that.
“No! I’m staying here!”
“No Haruka, you have school tomorrow too. ……”
“That’s right, Haruka chan!”
“I don’t care! Why don’t we all just stay the night?!!”
““Even more no.””
Ai and Sara turned red and hammed it up.
I thought that their parents would never allow it
“Well, it’s just me today.”
“Haruka, you can’t do that, you have school.”
“Eh, so it would be fine if I didn’t have school?”
“Eh? Ah, well, then okay?”
“”Eeh””
“Yay♪”
I wasn’t thinking anything strange, but I wondered if it would be okay if only Haruka stayed the night. I said so, and Ai and Sara were surprised.
Then Haruka started to say something outrageous.
“Let’s all have a sleepover study session this weekend!”
“No, Haruka, that’s not a good idea. ……”
“Eh? Why?”
“No, why… well, you know. ……”
I thought this was just about Haruka, but I didn’t realize it included Ai and Sara. ……
I looked at Ai and Sara as if asking for help.
Ai and Sara noticed my gaze and began to speak.
“Yes, Haruka, it’s not good to stay overnight.”
“Yeah, I don’t even know what to tell my parents…especially if I’m staying at a man’s house.”
Good! If both of you say this much, she’ll understand.
“Eh? Then it’s just a matter of me convincing Ai-chan and Sara’s parents♪”
“Eh? No… that’s…”
“……”
Haruka said and started to contact them.
Persuasion…is that even possible?
Ai was in a panic because of Haruka’s unexpected return, and as for Sara, she was speechless.
What should I do? ……
If it’s just Haruka, it’s okay, but Ai and Sara aren’t dating me……
“Ai chan Sara chi♪, I called their mother and they told that if Haruka chan is there, they will be fine♪”
“Haruka…is that after you told them I’m here?”
“It’s obvious♪ I told them my boyfriend and us going to have a study session together on the weekends♪”
Eh? What makes that OK? ……
Isn’t Haruka’s trust level too high?
What should I do… just leave it to Ai and Sara? ……
“Hey, any word from Ai and Sara? After all, it’s not a good idea to stay over with a guy you’re not dating, is it?”
I said to Ai and Sara as if I was asking for their help, and Haruka opened her mouth to ask for help.
“It’s not a bad idea, is it? Ai chan! Sara-chi! I’m just going to study, okay? I’ve got our parents’ permission, okay? It’s okay, isn’t it?♪”
“Yes, well, it’s just a study session…let’s do it…let’s have a study session ……”
“Y-Yes, well, it’s just a study session…it’s okay………”
Ai and Sara couldn’t refuse and admitted it. ……
Haruka has completely pushed them over the edge. ……
I don’t have a choice if this happens…well, I’m not going to touch them until we go out, so I guess it’s okay.
“Okay…I’m good for the weekend.”
“Yay♪thanks guys♪”
“Are you sure Ai and Sara are okay with this?”
“Eh, it’s okay. It’s a study session, and I can also catch up with Haruka, so it’s perfect.”
“T-that’s true, it’s a study session…yeah! It’s Haruka-chan’s push study session!”
It seems like she was forced to agree, but…well, it doesn’t seem like she’s hating it, so I guess it’s okay.
“Well, I’m having a family dinner on Friday night, so I guess it’s Saturday.”
“Yeah♪”
“So, should we call it a night?”
“Yeah, sure.”
“Should I drop everyone off? I mean, all three of you live close to each other, right?”
“Well, yeah, but that’s okay. I’ll call my parents and they’ll pick me up.”
“Okay, then that’s fine. Haruka and Sara too?”
“I’m going to take both of them with me in my parent’s car.”
“I see. Well, please, Ai.”
“Thank you, Ai chan.”
“Thanks, Ai chan!”
“Yeah, that’s all right.”
◇
Ai’s mother came to my house to pick her up and for some reason we decided to have a talk.
She had heard Haruka’s story and wanted to ask me something.
“So, was it Akuru kun?”
“Yes, that’s right!”
“I know this is out of the blue, but how do you feel about Ai?”
Ai’s mother suddenly asked me that.
“Ah, I’m sorry, I’ll introduce myself first, I’m Yano Megumi, Ai’s mother, nice to meet you.”
“Yes, I am Ai’s friend and Haruka’s boyfriend. I’m Sano Akuru.
I’m always indebted to Ai-san. Thank you.”
“You are very polite, nice to meet you, Akuru kun, so I’ll ask you again, how do you feel about Ai?”
I have no idea what the question is about.
I want to make a good impression on Ai’s parents, so I don’t know what to do ……
Is it a bad idea to lie badly…
“If it’s about Ai, I care for her very much.”
This could be taken as a friendship, and in fact, it is important to her as a woman, but now is not the right time to tell her that.
When I said this, Megumi san looked at me quizzically, but then opened her mouth as if she had understood something.
“I see, if you value it, there’s nothing special to say. Well then, please take care of Ai.”
“Yes.”
Megumi san then went to Ai’s place.
What was that all about anyway? Was she talking about the study group?
I was still a little bothered, but I decided not to worry about it.
“Bye, Akuru~”
“Yeah, see you Haruka, Ai, Sara.”
“Yeah, bye, Akuru.”
“Yeah, see you later, Akuru kun.”
That was how the first day of the study session ended.
I took a bath right after they left and lay down on the bed.
“So they are staying the night, …….”
I don’t think anything will go wrong, but I’m a little worried… mainly about Haruka. ……
And I have no idea what Megumi san is thinking.
I hope it doesn’t make a bad impression on me ……
“Well, it’s no use thinking about it… …… I should probably go to bed.”
