After leaving the camp, I saw a couple waiting. With their blue hair and orange eyes, I immediately knew who they were. I looked at Kentaro. He wore a complicated expression. Out of curiosity, I searched the forest road for any other cars or people. Nothing. I knew they wouldn't come... but it's still just a bit...

"Hey, mom, dad..." Kentaro greeted them, stepping closer.

"We've come to pick you up..." His mom replied, looking awkward, and a little wary now that Kentaro was coming closer. Are they really that scared of him...? It's pissing me off.

I hurried forward, pushing Kentaro out of the way. I put on my best smile and held my hand out. "Hello!! You must be Kentaro's parents! I'm Akiara! It's so nice to meet you!"

They both looked surprised. The mom took my hand while her husband stood behind her. I shook her hand with big up and down movements.

"You're lucky to have such an amazing son!!" I continued. "He's super nice despite his intimidating exterior! I'm so glad that I've been able to get to know him!"

"Akiara, what the hell...?" Kentaro made me let go of his poor mother's hand.

"I was just greeting your parents and telling them how nice you are! The current situation isn't ideal to meet the parents in, but I have to make do!" I smiled at his parents again. "I promise to be the best boyfriend to your son!!"

They looked the most shocked at the word "boyfriend." The dad looked like he might pass out. The mom was better at recovering but she still couldn't speak.

Kentaro sighed. "Yeah... Akiara is my boyfriend. And so are those two. And the one with brown hair over there."

Matsu and Gin approached.

"H-Hello...!" Matsu exclaimed.

"It's nice to meet you..." Gin bowed.

Hisashi, who had to stand inside the camp next to Nikushimi and Yuuma, smiled kindly and waved since he noticed us looking.

Now the mom had a hard time recovering. They were so shocked they turned pale. We didn't break them, did we...?

"I can tell you all about what happened when we get home. How about you guys wait in the car?" Kentaro said, helping them get there. They didn't seem scared of him at all as he helped them into the car. The car was a light blue and looked a little small.

Kentaro came back to give us hugs goodbye since we'd be parting ways. I made sure he had my cell phone number so we could contact each other later. I waved as the car began to drive down the road.

"Since the rest of you don't have anyone picking you up, a bus is coming," Yuuma said, walking over to us. "And, Akiara?"

"Yeah?" I turn to him.

"You must pay for that stuffed quokka that you said you stole. Do you understand?"

"Yes sir, I'll pay for it!! I don't have money on me now, but I will as soon as I get home!!" I give him my answer seriously.

"Good. Don't steal anything else. I don't want to see you end up back here or in prison."

"I won't! I promise!!"

With that promise made, the bus finally arrived. The three of us climbed on. Before getting on, I looked back at Nikushimi and Hisashi. I waved goodbye. They waved too, looking a bit solemn. We'll see each other again. Then I got on the bus and it took us home. Well, to my parents' home.

Standing before the house at night time was surreal. I always avoided the place at night because I preferred to sleep elsewhere. But now I'm coming back to it after a year has gone by. I'm sure my parents are asleep inside. They probably didn't realize my sentence ended today. That's why they weren't there to pick me up. But even if they knew, they probably would think the drive was a hassle.
