“Makimura-senpai.”

After finishing my work in the Cultural Festival Executive Committee, commonly known as Cultural Committee, I was lightly wiping sweat off my face due to the June heat when a voice called out to me from behind.

The only one who calls me Makimura-senpai is Kimioka Misono, who is one year younger than me. Of course, even without that, it is impossible to mishear her voice. Her calm and elegant manner of speaking and her lovely voice resonates in my ears in a very pleasant way.

“I’m looking forward to this day.”

A petite junior who smiled softly at me as I looked back bowed politely, her posture as beautiful as ever.

“Same here. I’m looking forward to dinner.”

“I was really looking forward to it. I will do my best to meet your expectations.”

A bashful Misono clenches both fists tightly around her chest and shows a cute pose. When she does this with her outrageously well-dressed appearance, it just makes my heart beat faster.

“And, I’d also like to prepare breakfast for tomorrow, so if it’s not bothering you, may I stay over?”

“Eh? It’ s not bothering me at all, but……what do you mean?”

“I mean it as it is?”

The appointment was only for dinner today, but Misono tilted her head and her dark brown hair swayed in response to my question.

“I will take a shower first, so don’t worry. I will be there at 4 pm with my luggage, and then we can go shopping together. Then I have some preparations to make, so I will leave you first.”

“Oh, hey, Misono.”

Of course, I understood the meaning of the words themselves, but I had no idea what the statement meant. So, although it was unusual for Misono, I guessed she was joking.

That’s what I thought at the time. Thinking about it later, I am sure I couldn’t help but think that way.

The first time I saw Misono was in April. At that time, I had never thought that she would cook dinner for me. I thought there was no way she would stay over.
