 ”By the way, I had dinner with Ayana in Aichi during Christmas.”

 ”Yeah.”

 When I participated in the public recording of a show featuring Uminuma-san, Aqua suddenly barged in and caused a big commotion.

 Hehe, just thinking about that time makes me want to laugh.

 ”Ugh, the place Tsuwabuki-san told us about is already closed…”

 ”Ah…”

 It can’t be helped.

 The All-Star event ran longer than planned, and it’s already past 10 PM.

 There are probably quite a few places closed, especially if it’s not an izakaya.

 ”Let’s just walk around and find a random place that’s open.”

 ”Okay!”

 People walking in the busy district look surprised when they see me and Aqua.

 Maybe they’re being considerate, as they just glance over but don’t approach us.

 In fact, some even secretly cheer me on, saying “You can do it!”

 Not long ago, if a guy and a girl were on a date, it wouldn’t have been strange for women to send jealous glares their way. I wonder how things changed so much.

 I think it’s more about Kanon-san’s influence than anything Aqua did.

 ”Oh, how about this place?”

 ”Ah, sounds good. Let’s go here.”

 Aqua and I enter a place that looks like an izakaya.

 ”Ah, Aqua-sama!? And Ayana-chan too!?”

 ”Owner, we’re just 2. Is there a seat available?”

 ”Yes, there is. But we’ll be closing in less than an hour. Is that okay?”

 ”Ah, that’s fine. Ayana, is that okay with you?”

 ”Yeah. I’m hungry, so it’s totally fine.”

 We were guided to a private room and quickly ordered food and drinks.

 Aqua seemed really hungry, so he ordered a lot of meat dishes like miso katsu and chicken wings.

 I was thinking, what should I do? I want to eat chicken wings, but they can get my hands and face messy. It’s fine for a girls’ gathering, but I hesitate to order them on a date with a boy. Hmm, but I really want to eat!

 Giving in to my desire, I added chicken wings to my order, just like Aqua.

 I also ordered other things that caught my eye.

 ”By the way, how’s Shirogane Kingdom? Did you finish moving?”

 ”I finished moving. Also, the gift exchange is done.”

 Aqua giggled when he heard that Marin-san was angry with him when Yukari-senpai and Mikuni-sama exchanged gifts at the end.

 ”Haha, both of you are in the Heavens Sword movie…”

 ”Stop! I’m in the movie too, but I only know about the scenes I’m in!!”

 ”Oh, sorry.”

 Neither of them was in the scene with eau de Cologne.

 Wait, both of them are in the movie? Maybe it’s a flashback scene?

 I heard Kanon-san, Kotono-san, and Ako-san are also in Extra, so I’m really looking forward to it.

 ”By the way, Aqua, what about you? On the 21st, you have Beryl in Wonderland in the afternoon and the Heavens Sword movie greeting at night. Do you think you can make it?”

 ”Hmm, thinking calmly, I feel like it’s going to be tough if we don’t reach the goal by tomorrow. Even though we can’t go to Hokkaido and Okinawa since we’ve already been there, some places might be impossible to reach by then. So, the staff from Berry Berry suggested that we exclude the 21st and take a break.”

 Considering this chaos, that seems like the best option.

 It’s good that Aqua managed to come to today’s event, but if he hadn’t, I think a lot of people would have been sad. Thinking about it, I feel like they could have made that decision earlier, but everyone has this feeling that Aqua will somehow make it work, which might be slowing down the staff’s judgment.

 This is totally just what I heard from Yukari-senpai, though.

 By the way, I saw the Berry Berry staff get grabbed by the neck by Yukari-senpai and dragged into the darkness. I hope they’re okay. Kaede-san and Emily-san, who happened to see that, were putting their hands together and praying with serious faces.

 ”Yum. I’ve been really into chicken wings lately. I’m thinking of making chicken wing tomato soup when I get back. Look forward to it! Oh, do we have a stone oven? Chicken wing tomato soup with stone oven bread would be the best. For breakfast, how about that with potato salad on lettuce, sliced onions, and some boiled egg slices? If we have yogurt and fresh orange juice, it would be perfect!”

 ”Wow, that sounds delicious. I think everyone would be happy.”

 Normally, you’d ask a maid to make that, but I thought Aqua would probably wake up early and make it himself.

 Since I started living with everyone in the Shirogane Kingdom, I’ve realized that eating meals together with a big group is really nice. The other day, Yukari-senpai woke up with her hair all messy, and Kaede-san was laughing so hard at her.

 Kaede-san, who was also half-asleep, had a little hair sticking up too, and I couldn’t help but burst out laughing.

 Then there was the time I saw Emily-san in the morning when she was quiet. It really surprised me. She had this laid-back vibe that was super sexy.

 Honestly, no one has such a big difference between how they are when they talk and when they don’t like Emily-san.

 ”By the way, Yukari-senpai said she wants to go somewhere again during summer break.”

 ”Eh──.”

 Why does Aqua make such a grumpy face?

 He never makes that face with the other girls; in fact, he usually acts all lovey-dovey, but he always does that with Yukari-senpai.

 ”A sudden day trip to Hokkaido for ramen. A beginner’s mark on a wild, lost drive to a theme park… Am I the only one feeling a bad vibe about this?”

 ”Ahaha.”

 I remember that happening.

 It’s been almost a year since I started working with those 2. So much has happened.

 A lot has happened, but all of it has become important memories for me.

 ”Speaking of which, you said you wanted to go camping, right?”

 ”I can totally picture you setting up everything from the tent to the BBQ.”

 That’s true… I can clearly imagine Aqua efficiently setting up the tent in my head.

 ”Why don’t you just suggest a place to go, Aqua? You can’t escape anyway.”

 ”That’s a good idea. Let’s go to the pool or the beach.”

 I look at Aqua’s serious face and feel a bit distant.

 Aqua is really different from other boys.

 Girls might invite boys to the beach or pool to see their skin, but it never goes the other way.

 Yet, I can see Aqua’s hidden intentions clearly.

 ”D-Do you really want to see Yukari-senpai’s swimsuit that much?”

 ”No, I want to see any girl’s swimsuit!!”

 Hmph, I see.

 It’s not just because Yukari-senpai has a nice figure.

 Then, does that mean my swimsuit would be okay too?

 ”W-Well, I got a pool ticket from a staff member I know the other day…”

 ”Let’s go together!”

 ”Huh?”

 ”Let’s go together! Just the two of us!!”

 I was trying to gather my courage to invite him, but Aqua jumped in with the suggestion.

 And it’s not with everyone, just the two of us…

 ”Are you okay with swimsuits? If you don’t have one, let’s go buy one together!!”

 That’s just because Aqua wants to see me…

 I give Aqua a side-eye.

 ”By the way, what kind of swimsuit do you like, Aqua?”

 ”I’d be happy with anything. But if I had to choose, I’d want Ayana to wear a bikini.”

 ”Hmph, got it. I’ll keep that in mind.”

 Speaking of which, Emily-san was really excited about going swimsuit shopping together for summer the other day.

 Maybe I should go too. Everyone said they would go…

 ”On the other hand, what kind of swimsuit do you want to see me in?”

 ”Huh!?”

 I’m so surprised that I almost drop my chopsticks.

 W-Well, I’d be fine with anything Aqua wears, but… if I had to say, what would it be?

 I start imagining Aqua in various swimsuits in my head.

 ”B-b-boomerang or something?”

 ”I see…”

 ”Wait, forget that! I mean, anything, anything is fine!!”

 Ugh, no way!!

 A boomerang is like, the most embarrassing swimsuit ever!!

 Ugh, I messed up. I bury my face in my arms on the desk.

 He’s definitely going to think I’m a pervy girl.

 But, but, I’m a high school girl too!

 Just like everyone else, I have desires… and I do mas***bate too, and I’m not completely uninterested in boys’ bodies.

 ”Speaking of which, Emily said that Ayana is surprisingly shy…”

 ”I’m not shy! It’s normal for a high school girl!!”

 Ah… when I look up, I lock eyes with Aqua really close.

 My face turns bright red, and I hide my face with both hands.

 Ughhhhh! Why did Emily-san have to tell Aqua such unnecessary things!!

 I puff out my cheeks and turn my gaze away from Aqua.

 ”Ayana, I’m sorry.”

 ”Pout!”

 As I keep turning away from Aqua, he pokes my cheek with his finger.

 ”Ayana-san, no, Ayana-sama. Please, cheer up.”

 ”Pout pout!”

 Aqua looks worried and flustered.

 Maybe I overreacted a bit.

 Feeling guilty, I relax my expression.

 ”Ugh, fine. I guess I’ll let it go.”

 If I acted like this as a joke with a normal guy, he would probably get mad or leave.

 But why is Aqua so kind?

 ”I’m sorry. I was embarrassed, so I just…”

 ”No, I’m the one who should apologize. I got carried away.”

 Aqua and I look at each other and laugh.

 After finishing our meal, we settle the bill and stroll out of the restaurant, wandering down the street.

 ”Hey. Do you want me to do something for you as an apology?”

 I clenched my fists tightly over my chest and took a brave step forward.

 I changed my underwear properly, so I can handle whatever is said.

 Honestly, I wanted to be in a proper relationship with Aqua first, but living with Kanon and the others made me really envious of their stories.

 ”…So, can I kiss you?”

 ”Eh?”

 K-kiss? Just a kiss?

 I was prepared for more than that, so I was a bit surprised by the suggestion of just a kiss.

 ”U-um. Okay.”

 In a quiet place, I locked eyes with Aqua.

 Ah….

 It was a light kiss, just a gentle warmth on my lips.

 I naturally let my fingers trace over my lips, craving the slow warmth and feeling.

 ”Ayana, let’s go on a proper date. For the next pool date, I plan to continue from that summer night, so be ready for that. Of course, if you don’t want to or aren’t ready, I’ll wait. So… you don’t have to rush. I’ll match your pace.”

 ”Aqua… thank you.”

 I leaned my head against Aqua’s chest.

 Then Aqua gently hugged me.

 I realized that Aqua could tell I was feeling excited and leaning in.

 When I told Aqua, “Anything is fine,” I now noticed that I was trembling, thinking about what would happen next.

 They say the first time is painful, and I was scared of what would happen if I messed up.

 ”Well then, Ayana, see you later. I had fun today.”

 ”Yeah. Thank you, Aqua.”

 I get into the car that my mom came to pick me up in.

 For a moment, I wondered if it was okay to leave one boy behind in the busy shopping district, but if it’s Aqua, it should be fine.

 As I stared at Aqua getting smaller in the rearview mirror, I remembered the kiss we just had and felt my face turn red.
