Chapter 2 - (Part 13)

Building and maintaining human relationships, both old and new, is not difficult for Ayato.

"Usu, good morning!"

He would greet the students one by one on the way to school and in the courtyard as he made his way to the classrooms.

Far from being difficult, Ayato loved the bond between people.

When something happens, I can't let it go, and when something funny happens, I want to laugh together.

Sometimes, I was confronted with complicated relationships and I consulted, but I never thought it was difficult.

"Good morning, Reiji."

"Yes, good morning Ayato. Huh? Did you have lunch today?"

"I bought it at the bakery down the street.

So Ayato had finished talking to Satoru Kogure who was after his older sister.

Although they discussed it, they didn't ask any direct questions, and now they were just trying to keep things under control.

In fact, if you get right to the point, he'll be stunned, like, "What the hell is going on?"

Instead, he might take it as a rebellious statement that he doesn't trust himself.

That's why he deliberately kept Reiji and her older sister at arm's length.

They made excuses that they couldn't get out of control...

"Sooner or later, this numbness will wear off and we'll have a discussion again."

"So it would be nice if I could ask them about various dissatisfactions and future plans."

For Ayato, human relationships should be cultivated diligently, painlessly, and patiently.

"Oh, then..."

Reiji suddenly turned to Ayato.

"What's going on?"

"Next time... if you want a weekend date with Sakuya-san... tell me where you're going."

For some reason, Ayato wanted Reiji to tell him his weekend plans, especially the information about where he was going

"I was thinking of going to the 'Umikaze Kaoru Beach Park' in Gencho."

"Umikaze Kaoru Beach Park!?"

"Ayato...?"

"So surprising...!" "For Reiji, who looks like this,

"Seriously? Is it already decided? It seems like Reiji has already thought about it, but it can't be changed...?"

"It can't be changed due to special circumstances."

Ayato was reminded by Reiji that he had to be there.

"Yes, it is a must and he has to be there..."

Ayato's influence was limited to Hakuba City, of course.

But the "Umikaze Kaoru Beach Park" in Gencho was the border between the regions, a neutral zone with the neighboring powers.

The difficulty level jumps up as you have to keep watch while improving your disguise.

Up until now, Ayato had indirectly made various suggestions to his older sister, designing a place to go on a date.

But of course, there were times when Reiji decided on the destination herself.

"I don't know the situation, so I can't help it..."

"Ayato, are you nervous?"

"Uh, why? Even though I don't have a date."

"So... are you?"

"Look, how can I say this? I really felt my sister and Reiji going out together."

"What..."

"...Uh, um, did I just take Ayato's older sister...?"

"No, it's okay! Please take her anyway!"

"Uh, but..."

"I'm really thankful that I'll never have another chance to have a boyfriend with my older sister...!"

"A-As if that's true..."

"Reiji can't decide if it's good or bad," he said vaguely,

"About Sakuya-san... Ayato, you really care about Sakuya-san."

"Well, because she's my family, and also just in case."

"Thank you, Ayato."

"No, that's why I wanted to thank you!"

"Yes, if it's for the sake of the family, I don't mind at all."

* * *

The promised weekend that we would accompany Reiji had arrived.

"...!"

"He seems to like the sea."

"I think I've been pumping adrenaline since this morning."

I feel like I only have fond memories of the aquarium.

Umikaze Kaoru Beach Park, where Reiji took us.

Mixed with the smell of Chinese steamed buns eaten during the walk, the smell of the ocean occasionally tickled my nose.

"Um, I'm sure it's here..."

"I can't help but think that Reiji is very cute when he checks the navigation function on his cell phone."

Sakuya had been to Chinatown several times with her friends.

But this one was the most fun.

"Here! This is a Tapioca Oolong Milk Tea shop!"

"Hmm!? Tapioca milk tea!?"

Huh

Now that I think about it, I wonder if the oolong tea in Chinatown is better.

No, since Reiji chose it, it must be good...!

Maybe since the boom is over, I can buy it without having to wait in line.

"What do you think? Sakuya-san."

"Yeah... isn't it delicious...?"

"It's really good~!"

"Good. The brown sugar taste is good too, isn't it?"

He casually gave it to me!?

But if I don't drink now, it will be obvious that I'm sober...!

"...Yes, this is good too."

I managed to hold it in...! I almost drank it all!

I'm good at restraint!

Aaaah... Reiji's attention melted from my stomach to my chest and spread warmly...

"Sakuya-san, there seems to be a Chinese-style temple over there. Would you like to take a look?"

"What is it?"

Sakuya is holding back anger, and Chinatown... no, anger can still be tolerated.

Forget the time and yourself, enjoy the moment and before you know it, you're shopping for small items together in the gift shop.

My reflection in the small mirror, checking my hair ornament.

"Sakuya suddenly realized,

"I'll fix my makeup."

"Ah, please Sakuya-san."

 ... I really just wanted to fix my makeup, but he thought I went to the bathroom as usual...?

"So... how are you doing?"

I couldn't help but worry about him, so I turned to face the large mirror in the bathroom.

I wish I could go on like this forever, even if it was mediocre, I really think so.

"I'll fix my makeup right away." I want to go to Reiji's side as soon as possible.

But it would take a long time.

After I finished everything and returned to the shop, Reiji was near the entrance.

"...... Hmm?"

Relieved to find him, Sakuya watched Reiji for a while.

"Have you decided on a destination...?"

Surprisingly, Reiji followed the rhythm as if he was dancing lightly on the spot. "Reiji, wait."

"Wow!?"

Sakuya was excited.

It was Sakuya who was excited even from having fun.

But when I was alone, I couldn't resist approaching Reiji, so I kept looking at Reiji.

"Where are you going to take me next?"

Sakuya boldly crossed Reiji's arms and approached him boyfriend.
