"Peach juice? Peaches, as in that fruit, peaches?
"Yes, yes.
Mia and I were at a coffee shop near Mikura station.
It was a Saturday, so the store was reasonably crowded.
There was only a counter table available, and Mia and I were sitting next to each other.
Today was the day I was going to have sex with Izuchi and Tanimura.
We would all meet them at the train station and then go to Mikoto's house.
Kotoe said she was going to be out of town for a few days for work, and Mikoto offered to give her a place.
It seems that Mikoto has quite a strong feeling about this community.
She wouldn't even show up at the meeting place, but would be ready to receive everyone.
Mia and I met at a coffee shop a little earlier than the time when everyone was gathering at the station.
Mia, sitting next to me, was a beautiful girl no matter how you looked at her.
Today, she wore her chestnut-colored hair loosely pulled up behind her head.
She had just cut her bangs, so I could see her big round eyes clearly.
Her nose was high and firm, but not too assertive.
Her plump lips glistened in the coffee shop lighting.
Her breasts were full despite her slender frame, and even sitting down, I could see that she had long legs.
She was wearing a light beige shirt, perhaps already thinking of autumn.
She was wearing a pair of half-length pants, the color just between yellow and brown.
Only his shoes were bright yellow, like sunflowers, leaving the summer behind.
What do you think? Is peach juice ...... still embarrassing?
It's okay. It's better to call it peach juice than community or circle. But why peach juice?
Mia and her friends were trying to come up with a name for this community.
It was Izuchi who proposed the idea, saying that a circle needed a name.
There was no reason to oppose it, so they exchanged messages in a group without me.
At first, it was something like 'Komeys' or 'Okutani and his merry band.
I wish you wouldn't do that. ......
Mia giggled when I said that.
I'd rather you didn't. " I said, and Mia giggled, "Also, 'Ookutani.
It's not subtle enough. ......
"Well, I'm kind of goofing around here, but ......, and then Tomikko said, 'Momogensho.
Momogensokyo? Is that where the hermits live?
I don't know much about it, but I heard it means a place away from the mundane world. ......
I see. I see. It's a suggestion like Tomiko's.
"But don't you hate ...... the idea of ...... a peach garden?
"Well, maybe a little.
Mia took a sip of her iced coffee.
"That's why I opposed it, but ...... Tomiko said that Koumyou sounds like Zhuge Liang Kongming from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
The origin is different, but she says it a lot.
Fukiko also said that in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, there's a reference to the Oath of the Peach Orchard.
I knew that, too.
It was a later creation, but it was the place where Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, the main characters of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, exchanged their brotherly vows.
It was a later creation, but it was the place where Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, the main characters of the Three Kingdoms, exchanged their brotherly rites.
...... Zhuge Liang Kongming, that's a place that hasn't come up yet.
That's right.
Mia didn't know much about the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
But it was decided that Komei and peaches go well together, so ...... we ended up with the English word peach.
"That's so naive.
I looked it up and found that peaches have many meanings, so I thought it would be good to use peach juice.
"Why juice?
She said she likes it. Mia shrugged her shoulders.
When we went to the ruins park a few days ago, Tanimura wanted to drink peach juice.
I wonder if anyone will come soon. ...... Shall we go to the ticket gate? ......
Yeah, I guess so.
Mia and I left the coffee shop near the station together.
We still had some time before our meeting.
But if you're a fast learner, you'll be here soon.
"Oh, good morning!
When Mia and I walked to the ticket gate, Yotsuba was standing there.
She was the head of the softball team, a close friend of Tomikko's, and my girlfriend.
Her hair was getting longer and today she had it in a ponytail.
Her skin, tanned from club activities during the summer vacation, looked healthy.
He was dressed in a saggy navy blue T-shirt and short jeans.
Under her red baseball cap, she had eyes that reminded me of a friendly dog.
Yotsuba waved at me and then waved at Mia.
After exchanging greetings, Mia and Yotsuba started talking.
As I waited in front of the ticket gate for a while, Rino-chan came up to me.
Good morning!
Rino-chan came running towards me as I passed through the ticket gate.
Rino-chan was in her second year of junior high school, and was the younger sister of Oki, who was in the cultural anthropology club to which I belonged.
She is a lively and energetic girl, and is said to be quite popular at her junior high school.
She is a girlish girl with big eyes.
She was short in height, but her body was already that of an adult.
She was wearing a light blue checkered shirt and a fluffy white skirt.
The earrings she wore in her ears made her look a little bit taller than she was, which was adorable.
Rino-chan is a member of the brass band and is busy with club activities.
It just so happened that today was a free practice day and she didn't have to participate.
"Hey, ......, are you two here yet?
Rino-chan looked around in awe.
By the two of you, I assume you mean Tanimura and Izuchi.
Rino-chan is meeting them for the first time today.
"Are you nervous?
"Yes, I am!
I asked, to which Rino immediately replied.
I put my hand on her chest and said, "But you're not the only one who's in the peach juice.
But I'm glad that Peach Juice is getting more members.
So you're using peach juice right away. I'm actually a little embarrassed to hear that.
Is that so? I like it because it's sweet!
Rino-chan looked up at me and gave me a sweet smile.
