Our First Trip Together

"...I think this trip will be the chance for that wish to come true. I never thought that I would ever get to chance to go on a trip with friends so it really makes me happy to have that chance," Yuri confessed, smiling at the stitched-up doll between her hands.

Not too long after her story, Yuki crawled from under her sister's bed, brandishing a tiny, dark blue witch hat.

"So that's when you started getting friendlier with the others and starting crushing on Shujinkou," she said.

"W-Why are you only focusing on that aspect?" Yuri stuttered, trying her best not to look away.

"Honestly? It's because you kind of went into more detail about what you did with Shujinkou than anything else," Yuki pointed out.

"Ah..." Yuri's cheeks faintly grew red. "Still... That was the only part I was mostly involved in."

Her eyes then trailed down to Grimm and she asked, "Does Grimm have a comment too?"

"Um..." Yuki raised her ear to listen to her stuffed companion's voice. "...Grimm wants to know whether you're going to continue from where you left off with Shujinkou the other day or not."

Yuri's red cheeks grew even redder as she recalled her last visit to Shujinkou's home.

"What did happen?" Yuki asked as she retrieved Grimm from her sister.

"Nothing!" Yuri said, unintentionally raising her voice. "Sorry. It's just that... What happened was really embarrassing."

"Did he hold your hand?" Yuki guessed.

"No. That didn't happen. Nothing happened," Yuri sighed.

"'Nothing happened...'" Yuki pondered the meaning behind her sister's disappointment when she uttered those words. "Wait a minute... Did you actually try and follow Grimm's advice?!"

"Ah!" Yuri's entire face was as red as an apple.

"I never knew you could be so bold, Yuri..." Yuki said, amazed. "You must really like him. Though I can see why. He's fun to be around. Still, what happened that made you come home so freaked out."

"It was because I left in such a hurry..."

"But why did you leave so early?"

Before anything else could be said, Yuki glanced down at Grimm and repeated, "Parental block?"

The young child quickly looked back up at her sister and was shocked by her timid response.

"Oh..." Yuki sympathized. "Well, at least it didn't happen in the middle of something serious like hugging or kissing. I know you wouldn't even dance around this conversation if something like that happened."

Hearing those words, Yuri immediately turned away from her younger sister and covered her face with both her hands.

"You kissed him?!" Yuki exclaimed.

"No!" Yuri shrieked.

"He kissed you?!"

"No! None of that happened!"

"Wait... You tried and were interrupted."

Yuri silently nodded her head. Unable to think of anything to say, Yuki looked down and listened to what Grimm had to say. Confusion seeped into her as she said, "Turn around?"

It did not take long for the two to do just that and find their mother standing in front of the doorway drinking tea.

"Mom?!" they exclaimed.
