"Arisu... knock on the door first, maybe Mr. Aragaki..."

click-

There was a sound of the door lock being turned.

But the next moment the door was opened.

appear in front of you.

Aragaki Tsuneichi was wearing a black yukata and staring at the person coming outside with a gloomy face.

Arisu Sato's hostile gaze mixed with the cold aura emanating from the other party.

"Mr. Aragaki... Arisu came back to get the yukata... The fireworks festival is on Saturday, right? Do you want to attend together then?"

Facing Nanami who had a panicked look on her face.

Aragaki did not respond immediately.

He just turned around, said "Come in", and walked towards the Japanese-style room at the end.

When he arrived at the door of the Japanese-style room, his somewhat tired brown eyes glanced at the two people behind him.

Finally it stopped on Nanami.

"Come in for a moment, I have something to tell you."

Looking at Aragaki who walked into the Japanese-style room on his own, Nanami looked at Arisu who had already gone upstairs, and followed behind him in a panic.

wow——

The sliding door of the Japanese-style room was closed.

Aragaki, who was sitting in front of a low table, raised his face.

"You didn't mention that to Arisu, did you?"

"That thing? Oh... I see. Not yet. I haven't mentioned anything specific about this to Arisu."

“I’m a little concerned.”

Aragaki suddenly looked at the black samurai sword hanging on the wall.

"What does Nanami mean by 'not yet'?"

"Ahem! No...it's not...I..."

Looking at Nanami, whose tone became helpless, Aragaki raised his right hand to stop the messy words that were about to come out of his throat.

I stood up and walked towards the closet, and a folded black yukata and wooden clogs placed on top were handed to me.

"This is......"

"Nanami is going to the fireworks festival."

Aragaki looked at the man in front of him whose height was not much different from his own.

"This is a custom-made yukata I asked someone to make. Because I didn't measure it myself, there may be a one-centimeter error."

"Eh?"

"Arisu is often arbitrary and dictatorial. Getting along with her must have caused you a lot of trouble. Please accept it, or I will feel really bad."

Facing Mr. Aragaki with a sincere tone.

It was really hard to say no.

He made a gesture to bow forward, and just as he tilted his body to a forty-five-degree angle and bent downward, the movement was interrupted by the sudden sound of the door opening.

Subconsciously looked towards the source of the sound.

Appeared at the door.

Arisu-san stares at the Japanese-style room with an expressionless face.

"Nanaha, let's go."

"Oh...wait a minute."

Nanami bowed again.

This time the body is at a perfect ninety-degree angle.

----------

"Why do you have to bow to your father?"

As they walked out of the entrance, Arisu looked at Nanami with a look of confusion and displeasure.

In response, Nanami brought out the words she had prepared in advance -

"Ahem... Arisu knows, I've never bought a yukata before. If I were to spend time buying one, it would take up a lot of time, right? Besides, today is already Wednesday, so I don't have time to buy a yukata at all."

"......oh."

"What's wrong? I've felt like Arisu is weird since we came out."

"......nothing."

The action of walking forward with his head down just refuted the nonchalant words of "nothing" that Arisu-san had just said.

Arisu-san——

She's really the kind of girl who won't hide her inner thoughts.

Every time he expresses it straightforwardly, whether it is sadness or joy, people can clearly feel the various obvious emotions appearing in Arisu.

This way of getting along——

It's totally unpleasant.

In that case——

"If Arisu doesn't say anything, I'm going to touch her breasts."

Nanami's calm words made Arisu, who was walking in front of her, suddenly stop.

Turning back, his face was covered by light.

The face was covered with a barely noticeable blush.

"If Nanami can do this in public--"

"Then give it a try, you stupid coward."

Didn't you choose to escape and instead turned on the 'counterattack mode'?

This actually fits Arisu-san's personality very well.

"But, Arisu will be shy, right? She's a girl after all..."

"Won't--"

The sound is stretched out.

Her impatience was mixed with Arisu-san's unique shyness.

Quite cute——

The current Arisu-san.

Nanami walked up to him and spoke as if nothing had happened.

"But, Arisu is obviously shy, right? His blush is very obvious."

"......Fool."

With his cheeks lowered, Arisu slowed down his pace, which was originally enough to leave Nanami behind.

Although it's not obvious.

However, Nanami still vaguely discovered it.

——The reason why Arisu-san’s personality has changed so much compared to before.

perhaps--

You have discovered it.

I suddenly became closer to Mr. Aragaki, and I must have covered up some unknown things.

According to Arisu's keen intuition -

I definitely noticed this aspect.

Because he doesn't like to be kept in the dark and hates to be deceived, coupled with various uncertainties and complex emotions squeezed together, Arisu, who ultimately doesn't know how to face it, can only choose this way of escaping reality.

I don't want to hide it from Arisu-san.

Just tell her directly.

Nanami stopped.

His right hand touched Arisu's shoulder.

"Um - Arisu, I did talk to Mr. Aragaki about some things that we agreed not to tell you in a short time, but I will explain this matter to you in detail later. I don't want to hide it from you in this regard, and I don't want to deceive Arisu, so if Arisu is willing to give me enough time, I will be very happy."

Just as gentle words as before.

Nanami didn't intend to hide it deliberately.

There is no deception that is offensive.

That's fine.

I am already satisfied with achieving this level.

Arisu Sato tapped her chin lightly and tilted her cheek forward.

"I understand. I'll wait until Nanami wants to tell me."

If the other party is Nanami——

Everything will be fine.

Only in Nanami can I feel the concrete happiness.

There is no way to escape this happiness.
