Chapter 90.1

Chapter 90 – Misunderstandings 2

I was late to our appointment because of being stopped by Aria and Chiffon…!

The bell of 5 o’clock rang a while back, so I was definitely late.

Generally speaking, we have around half an hour of room for error, but I have a feeling Sakura was there since before the bell rang.

My walking pace quickly increased to a hurried one..

When I finally saw the gate, I was already running out of breath.

…… There is someone at the gate.

It was still a small figure, and I knew it was Sakura, so I ran with all my strength.

Why is the gate so far away…!?

Even if I say that, I am the late one, so I need to hurry.

「I’m really sorry, did I keep you waiting?」

I ran over to Sakura and asked while recovering my breath

「No, I just arrived as well.」

She was not angry about my late arrival and answered gently.

…… Though even if she said a while ago, it was probably before the bell rang. Even if it was still within the accepted amount, she must still have waited quite a bit.. Even so, she still giggled with a dazzling smile.

If only I came before the bell rang…

I regret it, but I can’t do anything about it now. Next time, I’ll head out with more time to move. I swore it to my own heart.

「Good morning. Thank you for inviting me today.」

While I was repenting in my mind, Sakura voice turned my attention back to the present. And with this, I noticed she looked different from usual.

Sakura was wearing a pink thin dress and a light blue cardigan that goes well with her. It was simple, but it made her cuteness stand out even more.

Her manners were very polite though, acting as if we weren’t very familiar with each other.1

While being fascinated by her, I managed to make a reply.

「Aah… Today you… Came quite different from usual?」

I wish I could say more nifty things, but this was all I could manage.

「Because we won’t be making any intense movement today … Does it not suit me?」

…… Again, it seems like I need to learn how to express myself properly.

That said, I can’t simply let Sakura have an expression like that…

「No, that’s not it! It suits you…… Rather, isn’t it quite cute?」

It’s pathetic, but that was the best I could come up with.
