From my one sentence, Yuuto understood instantly why he was called out.
His face got fl.u.s.tered, as if he got caught and showed an apologetic expression.
“Well fine… But explain it to me, how it was decided that I will be joining you guys.”
“I know.. I will explain that, of course.”
I released my powerful grip from Yuuto’s hand, leaned back on the bench and prepared myself to listen to the conversation.
Yuuto started explaining the whole story, while leaning forward.
“This morning, I went to invite Kanzaki-san for going out on Sunday.”
“I see.”
“And then, I was able to receive her consent.”
“It sounds good, so far.”
Till the conversation now, it went as planned at my house.
For me, the important part will come now.
“And then… it was decided that Minato will also accompany us.”
“Wait a moment, there was not a single thing, I wanted to hear about.”
“Even I don’t understand it properly.”
While scratching his head, Yuuto started explaining the chain of events in detail.
The two talked during the time, everyone was changing clothes and had to return to cla.s.sroom for homeroom.
The place seems to be the table, where Shizuku was writing about the events of the day.
“Kanzaki-san, do you have a moment?”
“Yes? What is it?”
Shizuku put the paper in her hand, inside the desk and turned her body towards Yuuto.
“If it is alright, will you go to the amus.e.m.e.nt park, this Sunday?”
Yuuto asked, while his heart was thumping loudly.
It was the most nervous moment, he had felt in several years.
“Amus.e.m.e.nt park…! It will be nice. Let’s go!”
Shizuku consented easily to Yuuto’s request with a face, full of smile.
And when they tried talking about the appointed day, the plans started to go out of order.
“Well, we have to talk to Minato-kun too.”
“Eh!?”
“From my side, I will try inviting him after school!”
This way, not being able to correct Shizuku’s misunderstanding, the situation developed to this stage.
Certainly, I could comprehend a bit about Yuuto not understanding well.
“But, if you had quickly said that if was only for the two of you, then this situation won’t have happened, right?”
“I tried to say it. But as soon as I opened my mouth, she went somewhere immediately.”
It seems that Yuuto also tried to talk with Shizuku afterwards.
After the game, in the place where we three had came to, also after I went towards the rooftop, he had tried talking to her.
However, since there was some work, they were not able to talk specifically.
“With the story having grown this far already, at this point of time, I cannot just say two people, right?”
Looking at Yuuto, dropping his shoulders, it seems it would be difficult to refuse this time.
Since Kaede had also been involved, I would not be able to refuse.
As expected, Shizuku had also a.s.sociated with me, for a long while. She understands my weak point, pretty well.
“…If you want to be alone together on that day, there is no choice for you, other than working hard.”
Saying this sentence to Yuuto, I went back inside the store.
From behind, “Ah, leave it to me!”, a reply filled with fighting spirit could be heard. That being the case, it will be dependent on that day’s effort.
Inside the store, I wondered if the noise was bothering other customers of the store… While thinking so, I went back to the private room.
“Ah? That was quick.”
Kirasaka greeted me, while drinking black tea, she probably ordered afterwards.
There are not many people who are so picturesque, while drinking only black tea.
Her every single movement looks attractive.
Looking at that figure, I also started thirsting for black tea and ordered the refill.
“It was just a small confirmation, so… Certainly it seems that we are going to the amus.e.m.e.nt park on Sunday.”
“Is that so… It was good that it was not a lie of Kanzaki-san.”
She exhaled with a small relief.
And then, she opened the sliding door for a bit and checked the figures of the cla.s.smates, sitting on the opposite side.
And then, she closed the door immediately and pinned it with her hand, as if not letting anyone open it.
“…What are you doing?”
“Don’t worry about it. I just felt like doing it.”
Kirasaka, who was was pinning the door with her right hand; as if she had thought of something, suddenly started restraining the door with both of her hands.
While I was watching her, wondering what she was doing; for an instant, the door opened but was closed instantly by Kirasaka.
“If you hold it like that, my black tea won’t arrive.”
“…That is there as well”
When Kirasaka let go of her hands reluctantly off the door, the door was opened vigorously.
“What are you doing sneakily?”
Hearing the voice of Shizuku outside, it seems Kirasaka was preventing her from coming inside.
Shizuku sat next to me, as if cramming her body and glared at Kirasaka, on the opposite side.
“What, I was merely talking to Shinra-kun normally? Since, we dislike entering that circle.”
“Then, do it only after saying something to me!”
As always, the atmosphere turned perilous due to the two people, with bad relations. At this very moment, the shop a.s.sistant entered the room, carrying my order of black tea.
I took the cup in front of me and tried imitating the movements of Kirasaka, from a while ago.
….Yes, let’s stop it.
However much I do it, it won’t look picturesque.
While drinking the black tea normally, I decided to vaguely listen to the conversation between the two girls.
