Chapter 611: The Emotion I Felt from Within my Heart (2/2)

She didn't do anything like that today because we were on a date, but usually, when she goes out, Fate-san doesn't want people around to notice her, manipulating fate in a way that ”no one comes near where she is”.

This is the reason why there were no people around when I first met Fate-san. That means, in a situation like this……

[Fate-san, is there a beach near here?]

[There is, but why are you asking?]

[We can indeed eat at a restaurant, but why don't we just buy something from a food truck and eat at the beach, looking at the ocean?]

[……Kai-chan.]

When Fate-san heard my suggestion, she looked as if she was thinking about something for a moment, before she softly spoke.

[Unnn. I like that too.]

[It's decided then.]

[……Kai-chan. Thank you for thinking of me.]

[……It's a date after all, the both of us should be having fun together.]

I've been told by many people that I tend to wear my emotions on my face. That's why it was easy for them to know what I was thinking. Well, Fate-san seemed to be happy about it, so there's no problem at all.

Since the decision was made, I was about to head for the stall when Fate-san pinched on the hem of my shirt.

[Fate-san?]

[……Hey, Kai-chan. Ummm, errr…… can we…… hold…… our hands?]

[Yes, of course.]

[……Thanks.]

Responding to her request, I gently offered my hand…… and grasped her small hand that perfectly fits in mine. We just normally held hands though, not interlocking our fingers with one another.

However, the warmth being transmitted from Fate-san's hand, and the feeling of her grip on mine…… not only makes me feel embarrassed, but affection towards her.

Dear Mom, Dad———– One step after another, we began to enjoy our dates together. And I began to feel more composed to think…… that I noticed it. Her cheeks flushed with embarrassment as she also grasped my hand————– And the affection I felt from within my heart.

<Afterword>

? ? ? : [Sad news, even after all this flirting, ”they still aren't lovers yet”.]

Serious-senpai : [……So?]

? ? ? [It'll be even sweeter when they become lovers.]

Serious-senpai : [It's a lie! Say that it's a lie, ? ? ? !!!]

Here's a cute Fate-chan fanart I found on Author-san's Activity Report.
