Three days had passed since then. The get-together for the calligraphy club members had arrived.

 

 

Each member would bring their own food and drinks.

 

 

I also had some food prepared(meat for grilling, etc.) as well.

 

 

“Nii-San, is this okay here?”

 

 

“Yeah, it’s fine there. I’m sorry to make you carry something so heavy.”

 

 

I had assembled the barbecue set that had been lying in the storeroom.

 

 

Yesterday, I bought charcoal, grill mesh, lighters, paper plates, etc., from the store.

 

 

“I can handle this much. How’s Ni-San doing?” Sara asked

 

 

“Yeah, I’m fine.”

 

 

I asked Sara to set-up a table and chairs for the guests.

 

 

“Hey!” A little bit past noon, Rio was the first to arrive.

 

 

“There you are. Put your stuff down over there and help me. You’re the one who suggested this.”

 

 

“Hai!”

 

 

Rio put her purse down, set the ingredients she had bought on the table, and lent Sara a hand.

 

 

“Haruki! Is this okay?”

 

 

Rio asked.

 

 

“Yeah, that should be fine.”

 

 

Meanwhile, the other members arrived one after another.

 

 

Moe and Ami seemed to have arrived together.

 

 

Soon after, Sakura also arrived.

 

 

“So this is the president’s house, huh?”

 

 

“It’s pretty big, isn’t it?”

 

 

“President and Sara-san’s love nest.”

 

 

I thought I heard Sakura say something more at the end, but I didn’t dare mention it here.

 

 

“It looks like all the members have gathered.”

 

 

Afterwards, the rest of the gang came, carrying a large plastic bag..

 

 

“Put the ingredients there!”

 

 

“Hai!” [They all said.]

 

 

The ingredients I bought were placed on the table as well.

 

 

“Now, let’s get a fire going.”

 

 

I used the towel hanging around my neck to wipe the sweat from my forehead, and rolled up my shirt’s sleeves.

 

 

“Oh, I’ve been waiting for you.”

 

 

I, with my practiced hand, used the igniter to light the charcoal.

 

 

“Haruki, you’re not just a calligraphy guy, are you?” Rio said.

 

 

“Who do you think I am?”

 

 

“Eh, a Sis-Con calligraphy baka.”

 

 

“What the hell is that? I won’t allow you to eat meat.”

 

 

“Sorry, Haruki. I don’t want you to do that.”

 

 

Rio grabbed her hands.

 

 

“Here, I’ve lit the fire; bring the mesh grill.”

 

 

“Okay.” Rio returned with the mesh top.

 

 

“Thank you.” I took it.

 

 

“The two of them are really close for some reason, aren’t they?”

 

 

“Oh, I know what you mean.”

 

 

Moe and Sakura discussed among themselves.

 

 

“Nii-San…” while watching the scene, Sara’s face showed a slightly lonely expression.

 

 

“Oi, let’s start grilling. Bring me some meat.”

 

 

At my words, Sara and the calligraphy group gathered around with the meat.

 

 

“The fire is getting good now, so let’s get grilling.”

 

 

Sara handed me a pack.

 

 

“Hai, Nii-San.”

 

 

“Oh, thank you.”

 

 

I took it and placed the meat on the mesh.
