"I-it's fine, Arata. I asked too much from you today."

Arata notices a tear forming in her eyes.

Kaede notices it and turns around to wipe them away.

It's not fair for me to keep asking Ara-
Arata...?

Arata wraps his arms around her stomach and pulls her close.
He buries face into her hair and stands still.

So this how it feels to be in his arms...

She leans into his body and allows the heartwarming embrace envelop her.

Arata lets go and Kaede takes a step forward.

She smiles and says,

"Thanks a lot! I feel much better!"

"You're welcome."

He says as he tousles her hair.

"H-hey! Stop! My hair will be messy!"

"That's the whole point!! Rahhhh!!!"

"Ahhh ~"

Kaede laughs and squeals.

The two resume working and before they knew it,
it was already time to close up.

After closing up,
Kaede asks Arata,

"Hey Arata, can you walk me home?"

*Kaede is no longer jealous.
*Kaede's affection increases.
*Kaede's friendship increases.
