Chapter 134: The Quartet’s Dinner (1/2)
“Fuiii, fun fun~!”
Even for high school students, it was tiring playing for several hours. The four of them sat on the bench to rest.
They rented a ball for volleyball, and under Chitose’s vigorous pressing, Mahiru was dragged along to a small water slide experience. Nevertheless, it might be really exciting to her.
She looked refreshed as she sat next to Amane, but was leaning onto him gently, probably due to fatigue.
“I’m so happy. It’s been a while since I had this much fun.”
“Yeah. I haven’t exercised this much in a long time.”
“You didn’t really show up during the sports festival. Did a good workout this time.”
Amane was no slouch at athletics to begin with, but he could not consider himself adept, and would never have exercised as he just down. He would participate in the gym classes fully, but was never too enthusiastic.
“Amane started swimming seriously midway through.”
“Well a pool’s a place for swimming…it’s nice to do so once in a while.”
“Mahirun was looking at you back then.”
“Eh, s-sorry Mahiru.”
Mahiru and Chitose had much fun, so Amane went for a simple swim, but perhaps Mahiru was waiting for him back then.
However, she hastily shook her head.
“Th-this is not what I mean…it is good.”
After some thought, Amane realized what she meant by good.
Mahiru could not swim, and was envious of Amane, who could.
However, he dared not mention to Chitose and Itsuki that Mahiru could not swim, and merely smiled wryly as he patted her head.
If they had another chance, they probably could practice a little.
“Let’s go to a pool next time.”
“Y-yes.”
“Hm, what~? You want to see Mahirun’s black bikini?”
“Are you an idiot. I don’t want to show that to anyone else.”
“So you obviously want to see it when you’re alone.”
“That’s…a privilege as a boyfriend.”
Amane had no thoughts of showing Mahiru’s black bikini to anyone else. Even at this point, she was hidden under his rashguard, and he wanted her to wear swimming shorts.
“Hear that Mahirun? You’re not showing it to your boyfriend?”
“As I said, we can negotiate.”
Amane smiled at Mahiru, who turned her head aside, and again patted her head gently.
Once they left the leisure facility together, Amane’s group arrived at a family restaurant.
It was before 6pm, and a little early for dinner. They expended lots of energy playing and swimming however, and they were hungry. Perhaps it was the right time.
Mahiru never had the chance to visit a family restaurant, and looked a little excited. That adorable sight had Amane smiling, but he sheathed that smile away when Chitose and Itsuki tapped him lightly where Mahiru could not see.
“But speaking of which, you’re going to Amane’s hometown for the summer right, Mahirun?”
Chitose asked as she sliced the hamburger steak she orderde.
Mahiru probably did mention that she was going to Amane’s hometown with him when she arranged plans wit Chitose. Chitose in turn leered away.
“It feels like erm, meeting the parents.”
“Sorry to disappoint you, but Mahiru already met my parents.”
“I see~…I guess it’s like a wife following her husband back to the hometown.”
