Vol 6 Chapter 7 (2/2)

“…Will you tell anyone else about this?”

“I won’t”

Himeji-san’s expression is rather serious

What should I do…it’s like she doesn’t want to let me run away from this issue…

“Actually, about that…it’s…”

“Yes?”

“I studied in the same elementary school as you, Himeji-san”

“That’s right”

“So if I call you by your na you ‘Mizuki-chan’ like before It’s kind of aard I h school students, and if I add a ‘chan’ to it, this is too—”

“You’re lying You’ve been calling h school, Akihisa-kun You never called me by my name”

“Tha, that’s…because…”

Guu…! She’s really pressing on…Hi now!

“Because?”

“…You really won’t laugh at me?”

“I definitely won’t laugh at me”

“…You definitely won’t tell anyone else?”

“I definitely won’t tell anyone”

Not good I have nowhere else to run to

Uu…this is the greatest embarrassment of my life…

“Actually…it’s…”

“Yes?”

“I did think of calling you by your name before, Himeji-san”

“And then?”

“And then…I secretly trained at home how to call you by your name…”

“…Eh?”

Himeji-san can’t help but widen her eyes It can’t be helped that she’ll be so surprised People nor their classmates by their names anyway

UGAH! This is really e! I already decided to keep this hidden in my heart and never mention it to anyone!

“That’s how it is So I better call you ‘Himeji-san’ in the future! Is that okay?”

END THIS TOPIC NOW! HURRY UP AND END IT NOW! ERASE THIS CONVERSATION FROM MY MEMORY! OR ELSE I’LL HAVE A MENTAL TRAUMA!

“I understand Since you say so, I’ll let things remain for now”

“Is, is that so…thank you…”

“Also, I do feel rather happy in a certain way that you would think of callingme in a neutral manner”[2]

“Heh?”

What does that mean?

“Since you’re willing to share your e side with me, I’ll tell you a little secret of mine”

“Eh? Himeji-san’s secret?”

I want to know! I really want to know!

“Actually—”

His her lips to my ears

“My first crush—is still going strong”

After saying that, soently sticks on my cheek

That’s weird? This is…

“HIHIHIHIHIHIHIMEJI-SAN? WHAT DID YOU—”

“Let’s go, Akihisa-kun We should be going ho We have to hurry and co plans”

“No, Himeji-san! Now’s not the time to care about travel plans! Listen to me!”

“I really look forward to this summer vacation”

“Wait a moment! Himeji-san! Wait!”

From tomorroards, it’ll be the sus to us

What will happen this year?

“Oh yeah, Himeji-san…”

“What is it, Akihisa-kun?”

“If, just if—if I have so, ill you do?”

“What else?”

“What else?”

“I’ll keep cooking for you to eat everyday to improve! Perseverance is the power to improve”

“Tha, that’s right! It’s really just like you, Himeji-san!”

“Un!”

I get a response that I expected Since I can’t i else for now It’s not that I have some concerns or want to keeparding her cooking—so as to prevent the hellish life that will come everyday

“Oi, Akihisa, didn’t you say you’re going to the seaside to play? Which sea?”

“I guess it’s a certain place I went to when I was young”

“The seaside…if possible, I prefer to go to the mountains…”

“Me, me too…”

“Whether it’s going to the sea or the pool, I like them all!”

“…I don’t hate them”

Everyone’s gathered at my house to discuss the seaside trip beforehand

Since we rented a vehicle, that o to several other places once we head out early, finish playing at the seaside and go back home, so it’s important to check on e can do beforehand

“I’d say, it’ll be really great if there’s a festival nearby”

“Ah, that’s a good idea Do you knohere a festival will be held?”

“…Swimsuits and yukatas…can I really make it back alive…”

I really worry whether Muttsurini can take it—physically and mentally

Prrr!!

“Ah, sorry I’ll go get the phone”

“Oh, go ahead”

I take the phone and walk out of the living roo?

(hello, is that Aki-kun?)

“Un, nee-san, what is it?”

(I want to talk to you about the seaside trip we mentioned before)

“Ah, perfect tio”

(I see, as for where we’re going—)

“Un, what is it?”

(I already booked a chalet where we used to stay at before)

“Eh? Cha…let…”

(That’s right A chalet)

“Nee-san, about that…”

“Booking a chalet That ht?”

(Yes I want to go to a far away place e have the chance, and we’ll have an overnight trip there)

“Ah, is, is that so? I’ forward to it, ahahahahaha”

(What’s with you, Aki-kun? Is there anything bad with an overnight trip?)

“Ah, no I did invite Yuuji and the others, so it ht…”

(Nee-san won’t o out and play whenever ant to, and you did cause Yuuji quite so the last end-of-ter)

“Is that so? That’s really great! Nee-san, you ht?”

(Un, I do mean this)

“Got it! Thanks nee-san! That’ll be it for now!”

“I have to prepare the swimsuits too”

“I’ll go buy a new suit then~”

“It’s really great to go out during the summer”

The intoxicating bouquet-like voices of the girls can be heard fro room

But right now, there are two things I have to do
