Chapter 174: The Morning After Summer Vacation Ended (1/2)

It was the first morning of the new semester, and once Amane woke up, he instinctively looked towards the side, found no one next to him, and was disappointed.

Mahiru intended to stay overnight, but probably was overwhelmed by what Amane said, for she hurried home immediately after dinner.

Amane did not intend to act, but she was concerned by what he said.

I do not hate this, but I have to go back and calm down. That was what she said when she got up and left, and Amane just watched her leave, given that he realized that he achieved his aim of consoling her and putting her uneasiness to rest.

I’ll definitely be happy to hug her little body to sleep, so he thought as he got up, got changed, only to hear a door creak open.

It was the first day of school right after summer vacation, and Mahiru appeared earlier than usual.

He changed into his uniform, got out of his room, and saw Mahiru standing at the kitchen entrance, wearing an apron.

“Ah…go-good morning.”

Mahiru greeted somewhat hesitantly, and Amane snickered.

It was obvious that she was still mindful of him.

“Morning. Slept well?”

“…Somewhat. I am bothered because of you though, Amane-kun.”

“You hate that?”

“…Please do not ask me so when you already know.”
