We returned to Ichikura Station by bus before it turned to evening.

This bus was slightly more crowded than the one we came on but its not like there wasnt anywhere to sit.

See ya, Yotsuba!

After we got our tickets at the gate, Mikoto waved her hand to Shirota.

Shirota was riding the train in the opposite direction.

The sporty girl wearing a baseball cap, waves her hand back towards Mikoto.

Yeah, later Mikoto-chan

Mia and I also give our respective farewells.

And then, we went to our own platform.

Mia, Mikoto and I get on the train as it arrived.

Immediately after boarding, I got a message from Shirota.

That was really fun( *)

I look forward to next Friday too

I sent back a short reply.

Thanks for the necklace.

For now, Ill see you back at school

When I put away my cell phone, Mikoto looked at me.

N? What is it Mikoto

Did you not hear?

Mikoto pouts seeming slightly unhappy.

Mikoto was wearing very fashionable clothing.

The feeling of her putting in all her effort for it is cute.

The light blue shirt suits her and the black skirt isnt bad either.

I probably just cant get used to seeing her like this.

Theres no one at Mias house today

Heee

Dont heee me!

Mikoto raises her voice.

I also have tomorrow off so Im gonna be staying there but what about you?

Eh? Me?

Mikoto hands the explanation over to Mia.

My parents have business in Tokyo but they ended up suddenly needing to stay thereI got a mail just now

Is that so?

We invited Shirota-san too but she said she cant come

And your parents said it would be fine for me to stay over?

I told my mom Mikoto-chan would stay over butas you would expect I cant tell her you would be

Mia had an expression like she just did a prank on someone.

Cute. Its too cute.

Ive decided I want to stay.

However, I gave a vague reply.

Ah, wellis that so

Thats why if you come its a secret

Mia puts her index finger in front of her mouth and winks.

Even so, I already made my decision.

Ill stay over

Mikoto forces her way into the conversation.

Since its so sudden, I havent made any preparationsHow about we head back first and then go?

Th-thats right

The train arrived at Mikura Station.

Mikoto said in a voice only Mia and I could hear her.

Ah, perverted things are forbidden

Eh?

I opened my eyes wide.

That wasnt necessarily my intention.

I was just surprised that Mikoto said such things.

Dont eh me, pervert. Were postponing that for today

Which reminds me, Mikoto said this morning she was hurting.

I nodded in order not to force her to do something she cant.

Mikoto gets off the platform first.

I wonder if she was happy she would be staying at Mias house as she was humming as she got off.

Koumei

N?

Being called out, I turned around.

Mia was gripping the hem of my clothes.

As for me, Im fine

Ah

Even if we do perverted things1

Saying that much, Mia chased after Mikoto.

The two were talking about something but it didnt reach my ears.

See you in a bit

We say goodbye to Mia at the station.

Mia waving her hand was so perfect some guys stopped and stared.

Seeing me wave back to her they had an expression of hatefulness.

And then, noticing Mikoto next to me they were surprised.

Someday, I think someone will kill me

Eh? Why?

Ignoring Mikotos bewildered question, I head towards the bike racks.

We both get back home.

Since Im already prepared, Ill head towards Mias place.

Ill be staying at a friends house.

I told my mom and left.

I got a change of clothes and a towel. And then put all of it plus some condoms I bought at the store into my backpack.

Oi, Mikoto! Why?!

I unintentionally call out to Mikoto.

Mikoto left her house at the same time wearing her jersey.

She was wearing a pair of lame dark red sweatpants and a worn out gray T-shirt.

What is it?

Mikoto glares at me.

Straddling my bike, I said to her.

Shouldnt you be fine wearing the same clothes from earlier?

I dislike itsomehow, it makes my shoulders stiff

You are far from stylish

We head down the paddy field road side-by-side.

The days are long during this season. The sun was still in the sky.

I got a mail from that woman earlier asking to pick stuff up on our way over

What? Did she say we can even buy alcohol?

Pervert

Even though I was just joking, I still get treated like a pervert.

Mikoto scratches her own thin neck. I wonder if she got bit by a mosquito.

Even though she was making dinner, she said she didnt have enough ingredients and wants us to buy some

Ahso shell be making dinner

Ill be helping too, okay?

I look forward to that

We pass through the station and head towards the supermarket, Sainz.

Since she is making yakisoba, we are buying the things she needs.

We will also buy any other snacks and drinks we would want.

I wonder how much I have for expenses just today.

Were you thinking something stingy right now?

No I wasnt

Since Mikoto is paying for half, I decided not to say anything.

Reaching the apartment building in front of the station, Mikoto heads towards the bike racks like she was used to it.

Mikoto knows this area more than me as she has stayed over more.

The lock opened for us and we headed up the staircase.

After ringing the doorbell, Mia opened the door.

Sorry for making you wait

Mias white shirt and short shorts was perfect house wear.

This is the Kurusu Mia you would absolutely never see at school.

The latest_epi_sodes are on_the . website.

Mia wasnt wearing her usual mask even though she was in front of Mikoto.

Because of that, her outfit now is probably fine.

Above all else, the apron she was wearing was making my heart throb.

It had a green and black plaid pattern. It was the type that wraps around the hips and goes all the way down to the lap.

At the right angle, her apron hides her short shorts and made it look like she wasnt wearing pants.

Excuse me

Mikoto quickly enters.

She was acting as if she were at her house.

In other words, she acted like she owned the place.

Here, you too Koumei, come in. Ill get started on dinner soon

Ah, okay

I had an absurd feeling of happiness.

I unintentionally said something.

Wont you kiss me?

Eh?

Mikoto, who entered earlier, looks back at Mia.

And then after confirming she wasnt being looked at, she looks at me again.

What happened so suddenly?

Although she was listening, Mias lips got a bit wet.

I closed the door and entered her house.

And then I kissed Mia. It was a short kiss.

The feeling of happiness I was wrapped up in grew even more.

Aaaah! Geez, what are you doing!?

Mikoto ended up seeing us.

Scrunching her eyebrows, she shouts.

So thats how it is! Hurry up and come over here!

Sticking out her small tongue, Mia apologized to Mikoto.

Sorry sorry, Im coming over now

Geez!

Mikoto put her hands on her hips.

She was wearing a thin apron like Mias.

Koumei! Youll do that for me too, right?

Yeah

Dont make it sound like you hate it! Im your girlfriend too! Gi-rl-friend!

Mikoto disappears into the kitchen with her shoulders tensed up in a huff.

Mia looks at me with a wry smile.

Make sure you do it for Mikoto-chan too, okay?

I got it

I replied while taking off my shoes.
