All right, Mom, Ill be going out now.
Take care.
On a certain day during summer vacation, Shizuna left her home and went outside on a day when the temperature was quite high, if not blazing hot. It was only about nine oclock in the morning, but it was already very hot.
Its so hotbut then again, itissummer, so I guess thats to be expected.
Its so hotbut then again, it
is
summer, so I guess thats to be expected.
Shizuna muttered to herself as she started walking toward the home of her beloved boyfriend. Coincidentally, it was at that moment that Sohei too came out of his house as if he was going somewhere.
Ah, morning, Shizuna.
Good morning, Sohei-kun.
They had originally been close with each other, but Ryuichis appearance had soured their relationship, though things had cleared up between them now.
She laughed at how it was Ryuichi as well whod brought them the opportunity to face each other as normal childhood friends, and that he was truly a mysterious person.
Were you thinking about Shishido again?
Oh, you can tell?
Yeah. Because when you smile like that, its usually related to Shishido.
Muu, am I really that obvious?
That said, she didnt deny him either. Poking him lightly with an amused smile, she left him and started walking again.
Fuu.
In truth, shed actually had no plans to visit Ryuichi today. Normally, they would have called each other that day or the day before, but she thought itd be nice to have days like these every once in a while too.
She wouldnt be angry if he had something to do or if he was not home, she would just do a little shopping and go home.
Hmm~ hmm~ hmm~
She looked very happy as she walked down the road in a good mood.
Naturally, she wasnt wearing her usual school uniform, but she was dressed casually in a gray top that boldly showed her shoulders, and pants that gave off a refreshing feeling.
Many passersby stared at her as she displayed both the adorableness of a high school student and the sexiness of a young adult transitioning to adulthood.
Hey, little girl, are ya free?
No, I am not. Im on my way to my boyfriends place right now.
She used to hate and even fear getting called out to like this.
However, she had grown completely accustomed to it because she had gained some courage by spending time with Ryuichi, and more importantly, she often saw men worse than this one when she visited Ryuichi at the club where he worked part-time.
Now, now, you dont have to say that.
Youre being annoying, you know?
Shizuna glared at the man who was picking her up. Although she wasnt really conscious of it, her glare seemed to have been quite a shock to the man, and he froze, even if only for a moment. Taking advantage of this opportunity, she backed away from the man.
Looks like Ive gotten braver than before. Yup, yup, not bad.
She mightve still gotten scared if theyd touched her body like last time, but at the very least, she wouldnt get flustered by a mere playboy. It did make her a little sad that she would never be able to be saved like shed been when shed encountered Ryuichi back then, though.
Ah, but what would I do ifRyuichi-kunwas hit on?
Ah, but what would I do if
She sat there with them. She was surrounded by two guys, her boyfriend and his friend, but again, she didnt seem particularly bothered by it. When shed asked Kaname for his side of the story, what she heard was exactly as shed expected.
After the three of them had spent the night having fun in the city, Kaname missed the last train, so he came to stay here.
What do you think he was doing while me and Makoto were having fun with the girls?
What?
He was having hamburgers all by himself at a nearby restaurant.
Of course I did, Ryuichi spat. He no longer had relationships with many women, save for Chisa and Satsuki with whom he continued his relationship unchanged, but that was something everyone had already accepted.
Even so, the amount of times he slept with them was dwindling, so it was only natural that one could tell he found Shizuna special.
Well, I think Im gonna get going now. Its a bit awkward for me to be third-wheeling you two lovers.
I see. Off with you then.
Kaname then quickly packed his bags and left. Thus, Shizuna was alone with Ryuichi, just as shed hoped for, and she jumped on his body again just as the door slammed shut.
Oof Heh, youre a needy girl, arentcha?
Only for you, Ryuichi-kun.
They hugged each other for a while, and then Ryuichi suddenly let out a gasp and spread a printout on the table. It was an assignment given for the summer vacation, in other words, homework.
Theres a part here thats got me a little stumped. Can you help me?
Sure. Which part is it?
She finished the problem that hed told her stumped him as if it were a breeze in the park and left the apartment with Ryuichi, who had finished his preparations in the meantime. They walked together in the heat as usual, but they obviously didnt link their arms this time.
Its hot, huh.
Really hot.
It was well and truly hot. Still, leaving Ryuichi aside, Shizuna did not seem uncomfortable at all and continued to enjoy staring at him amusedly by her side.
Well, there was a time in the past that shed stared at him too much that she almost slipped and fell, so he told her to try to keep it to a minimum, but apparently she couldnt stop herself from the act of staring at the person she loved.
Hey, Shizuna
Sliiide~
An elderly man walking in front of them came into view, and Ryuichi called out to her to warn her not to bump into him, but she was well aware of him. She moved her body to the side to avoid the old man, who was propped up on a cane.
Dont worry, I can see everything.
Are you some kind of final boss?
Im a final boss thats undefeatable if Ive appeared after capturing you, Ryuichi-kun.
The heck is that?Ryuichi laughed.
The heck is that?
Ryuichi laughed.
This was their first summer vacation since the two of them got a boyfriend or girlfriend, but it would surely prove to be a fulfilling one, thats for sure.
Just thinking about what they should do, where they should go, and other such things was enough to make Shizuna happy and smiling the entire time.
Man, seeing you like that makes me happy, too.
Their long vacation had only just begun. Shizuna was excited and happy to be able to spend a long time with her boyfriend, and had high hopes for what was to come.
