"I noticed you two have gotten closer recently, Karuizawa-san said that she once saw Suzune coming out of your room when Karuizawa-san was picking up things she left in my room."

Hirata's hair was a little messy because of the wind when he asked that question to Ayanokouji. Both of them are now sitting while watching the two girls who are taking photos with their cameras.

"Horikita had promised me that she will make some lunch for me, but then she changed the promise to making me some dinner, she came for that, nothing special about it."

"So, what's the reason behind it?"

"It seems Horikita won't like it if I tell you, Hirata."

Hirata then laughed. "Fine, I won't force you, but thank you for helping Suzune with Sudo-kun's case."

"I'm not doing anything-"

"All are Horikita's plan, you wanna say that, right?" Hirata smiled then added, "Maybe you could become one of her friends, Ayanokouji-kun."

"I don't think so, she doesn't even remember my name." He answered while looking at Horikita who was now pointing her camera at them.

"Can I take a picture of you two?" asked the girl while focusing the camera.

Hirata quickly embraced Ayanokouji's shoulders while posing with his left hand forming a 'peace'. The flash of the camera appeared as the photos came out, Horikita approached the two boys.

"I took two pictures, can I keep one of this?" Horikita's eyes looked at Ayanokouji, the boy then just nodded followed by Hirata who nodded too.

"About remember your name, the more you interact with her, she will also remember your name."

Ayanokouji was reminded of Horikita's words. Hirata seems to have really known Horikita for a long time.

"You and Horikita have known each other since childhood because your families and hers are close, right?"

Hirata nodded. "My house is right next to Suzune's grandmother's house, we meet up a lot so. By the way, Suzune will also remember people's names if that person has a close relationship with her family."

Getting an answer from Hirata's words, he nodded again. "Does that mean you got the lunch box because you've known her for a long time or does she really think that you're important?"

Hearing Ayanokouji's question, he smiled. "It's because she feels she owes me, that's her way of thanking."

Little did he understand, but it seemed that things wouldn't be clear if he didn't ask Horikita directly. He chose to look back at the two girls.

"Sakura-san, let me take your photo."

Hirata held back his laughter, Ayanokouji seemed to understand why the boy next to him was laughing. From where they were, it could be seen how Horikita's face was looking slightly red.

Sakura immediately became shocked with Horikita's request. Both of them are blushing. Then, Sakura nodded and stepped towards Ayanokouji.

"Ayanokouji-kun, could you please look after my camera for a bit?"

Having no reason to refuse, he accepted the camera. Throughout his life, maybe only a few times he held a camera.

"If possible, please take a photo of me and Horikita-san," Sakura whispered before returned to where Horikita standing.

"Leave it to us, Sakura-san!" Hirata shouted slightly while giving a thumbs up, Sakura sent an expression as if she was grateful.

Ayanokouji started pointing the camera at Horikita and Sakura. Horikita asked Sakura several times to change her pose. Maybe, there are about five polaroid photos that have been taken.
