Episode 25 – Haruto goes to watch Senpai’s game.

“Aren’t you getting along with Mirei senpai better than before?”
“I don’t think so.”
Haruto and I were talking in the shade of a tree during a break between club activities.
“Because the day before yesterday we were saying [oh no, oh no! ]The advisor was also surprised because you came to the tennis court together while holding hands today.”
Today she happened to have time with a girl, so they came together.
“That’s because Mirei san said she wanted to hold hands with me…”
“But you wanted to do the same, didn’t you?”
“Uh-huh.”
I drank the Sport drink that Mirei san gave me in the morning.

“So, did you kiss her?”
“Ughh…!”
It was so sudden that I was choking.
“Are you okay?”
“I’m fine. I was just surprised.”
“Did you have that reaction?”
I shook my head.
“Really? so, it was more….”
“No, I didn’t go that far.”
“Why not?! If you kissed her, you would have done it.”
“I didn’t know much about this kind of thing, so she said it would be better if I learned it first.”
“Mirei san, you endured it well…”
“Endure what?”
“No, it’s nothing. It’s nothing. The rest time is over!”
Haruto and I went back to the court.

After club activities, I wait for Mirei san.
“Sorry I’m late”
“It’s all right.”
“I see. I have someplace to go, is it okay if we go to the place I want to go?”
“Okay, but where are we going?”
“Somewhere related to Shidou kun.”
“Me?”
“I’ve called a car for you, Shidou kun.”
“Okay.”
We get in the big black car we always drive.
(In case you are wondering, Shidou is Masaya’s first name)

～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～

“Sorry to put you on the lap”
“It’s totally fine.”
I’m being shown an amazing sight right now.
but maybe it’s because I’m Masaya’s height that I can do this.
I’m not sure if it’s possible to do something like this, but when I see it, I kind of think we make a great couple.
I’m also with Hitomi senpai
No, no, no, no, no, no. Let’s not think about it now.

“Is there a restaurant nearby… this Saizeriya okay?”
“I’m good!”
“I’m fine too.”
It is surprising that Mirei senpai, a young lady, also goes to Saizeriya. I wonder if everyone likes it after all.

“Welcome.”
“The three of us.”
“Sure thing. Let me show you around.”

“What do you want to eat?”
“I think I’ll have some doria.”
“What about you, Mirei san?”
“I’ll have the same as Masa’s.”
“I haven’t been here much but this sounds good.”
Masaya pointed at the hamburger steak.
What can I say? I think this is the kind of thing that made Mirei senpai like him.

Mirei senpai paid the bill. She was so generous that I thought I’d do something to repay her next time.
“It was delicious, wasn’t it?”
“Yes, it was.”
I envy this kind of couple a little.

I looked out the car window at the sky.
“Here we are.”
“Thank you.”
“A gymnasium…?”
It looks like a city gymnasium. It’s pretty big.

“Actually, Hitomi’s tournament is going on right now.”
“Hitomi senpai’s competition?”
I couldn’t help but let out a loud voice.
I didn’t expect to see Hitomi senpai.
“Is something wrong, Haruto?”
“No! Nothing!”
Masaya grinned.

“I see~that’s fine then.”
I was sure he was getting back at me for what I said earlier.

“Go do it!”
There were many people at the convention. I don’t know how many schools were there.
Just Hitomi senpai came out

“Go for it!”
Hitomi senpai looked at me for a moment. I’m glad.
It’s cool, like the part where she’s making the shot.
They were losing when they came, but they managed to turn it around and
They won.

“Good job.”
“Mirei, you came.”
“Thanks for your hard work.”
“Haruto-kun, thank you for cheering me up.”
She patted me on the head.
I’m a centimeter or two taller than her.
But I might be able to understand Masaya’s feelings a little.
