Chapter 44 "Dead Slang"

――Now we were on the Ferris wheel at the end because the park was about to close.

Aki, who was sitting next to me, looked up at me with a very happy expression on her face, as if she really liked the Ferris wheel.

I told her to sit in front of me when we got on, but Aki said "I prefer to sit beside " and sat next to me.

I thought, "Well, lets let her do what she wants to," and I didn't say anything about it

"I had a lot of fun today .... Can you bring me here again ...?"

Aki asked me in a voice that suggested she liked the amusement park

From her eyes that stared at my face, I could see that she expected me to answer in her favour.

"Okay... Next time, let's celebrate your passing."

"Mu ... senpai, you’re sly. Instead of saying that, you should tell me to study hard for the exam."

When I used the amusement park as bait, Aki puffed out her cheeks and protested.

However, She immediately smiled again.

She was just joking and pretending to be angry, and also she agreed with what I said.

People are more likely to work hard if there is some kind of reward.

Aki was no exception to this rule.

As ordinary students in the first place, we didn’t go to amusement parks so often.

The biggest obstacle was money, but we also needed to devote time to our studies.

That's why it was good to have such visits sometimes.

"I like the view ..."

"Yeah, the sea is very beautiful. I'm sure it's even more beautiful in the winter when the sun starts to se. ......

The sunset over the sea

The sea, which normally spreads blue, was dyed in the same orange color as the sunset sky.

The scenery was really beautiful.

(...... I want to see this scene with Charlotte …)

"Senpai……?"

When I thought of a girl's face who wasn’t here, Aki picked up the sleeves of my clothes.

She looked uneasy.

"what up?"

"……It's nothing……"

Aki let go of me and let her gaze out of the Ferris wheel.

I wondered what she was thinking about with such an expression.

She was laughing happily before, but I may have made a mistake towards the very end.

"Didn't Miyu-sensei say anything about going out today?”

Awkwardly, I asked a completely unrelated topic for a change.

"Hmm ... She was saying" Riajuus go explode! ""

She put her finger to her mouth and thought for a moment, then answered with a troubled smile.

She seemed to be slightly taken aback by her sister.

I felt that Miyu-sensei was gradually being abandoned by Aki.

I was more worried about Aki when I heard

that Miyu-sensei said such salty words to her.

Well, that being said, "Raijuus go explode” I heard it after a long time …….

“Isn't it a dead slang already?” I thought.

I felt that these words showed the age of Miyu-sensei .

"Should I have invited Miyu-sensei too?"

If she was complaining about us playing, Maybe she might have also wanted to come.

"We don't have to invite her. If she wanted to come, she would have said so herself"

"... Aki, are you still angry with Miyu-sensei ?"

The ironic words that I would never normally say convey the anger of Aki.

"I don't want a sister who says such things. No more snacks for her for a while ."

"Punishment is pretty cute, isn’t it ?..."

I thought that skipping snacks was the kind of punishment you would give a child. 

However, the effect would be outstanding for Miyu-sensei who had a sweet tooth.

"If I don’t cook for her, it will affect her physical condition. It would be nice if she could cook for herself a little, but if I dont cook , she ends up eating convenience store bento..."

(　――Ah, after all, when I was returning with Charlotte before, I met with Miyu-sensei in front of a convenience, perhaps she was buying dinner. )

"Oh, We've arrived ..."

When we were talking about Miyu-sensei , the Ferris wheel went around, so Aki looked lonely.

I would have ridden another lap, but it took about 15 minutes for this Ferris wheel to go around, and it was time to close the park.

So, the person in charge had already closed the ride .

"Thank you very much for today. It was a lot of fun."

As I walked toward the outside of the amusement park, Aki thanked me with a big smile.

"I also enjoyed it. I hope we can come again."

"Yes! I will do my best to study for the exam!"

It was a cheerful reply.

At this age, only a few children have such a straightforward personality.

No wonder she was popular in her school.

(...... The girl who was as popular as Aki ・ ・ ・From the perspective of others, she must have been an attractive girl.

But I can't believe it from her attitude towards me.

In the old days, I also thought she was a cute girl …)

――While the face of a girl whom I was never going to meet again was flickering in my head, I went to eat dinner with Aki.
