“I’m sorry, everyone came all the way here.
Our home’s not ready for guests yet though…”
“Huh? Are you moving somewh---“
“Mou Michiyo-chan! Come on!” Ayumu grabbed the confused Michiyo,
“Sorry Kujou-san! We’ll be in the playground until everyone’s done!” Ayumu added.
I wasn’t sure why Ayumu did that.
But it seemed like Hatori-kun knew.
And then suddenly, Fuuka asked for him,
“Uhm Aiko-chan, Akimoto-kun? Do you mind if I talk to Hatori-kun alone?”
We could only nod, and then we made our way to the playground.
I looked back at them, but they were already inside the house.
What were they going to talk about?
And they’re all alone… I couldn’t shake off this uneasy feeling.
Akimoto-kun and I sat on the swings,
we were laughing at Ayumu lecturing Michiyo for not being able to read the atmosphere.
“Don’t you like him?”
Akimoto-kun surprised me.
I thought he was half-joking but when I looked at him,
he wore a straight face.
