Get a temporary break from the hustle and bustle from the shade to BGM.
Noisy in vain, but preciousness comes out if we consider that to be exclusive to this event as well.
With an empty cup in his hand, he exhaled and heard footsteps stepping on the lawn from the rear.
Looking back, confirming the person, Shizukuishi smiles and looks at this one, turning to Kirosaka.
"Is the break okay?
"... you're the one who doesn't have to take a break"
Shizuku reaches out softly as he walks closer to one hand to the beverage he would have purchased before reaching here.
Grab the hand without rejecting it and ask without standing up.
But she laughed all the time saying it was unnecessary.
"This is the best time to rest and look forward to it."
"Is it Master Left..."
I want you to stop expecting excessive expectations because they put pressure on this one the other way around.
Well, Shizukuishi expects a gentleman's response to me.
There's a rule of thumb... for years.
Gently drop dust on the uniform next to Shizukuishi, then turn your gaze towards the next.
She pulled her arm just to say she was waiting when her gaze crossed.
"Let's go! I want to go to the mall!
"Yep... far away"
"You will have a bus that you procured yourself"
As she silenced herself in an honest argument that made no sound, Shizuku smiled bitterly and proceeded to walk toward the main gate.
I have no other choice but to obey, so I walk behind her as the spirit behind her.
This sight again...... let's not worry about what I thought.
When you board the bus that was waiting until the next departure time in front of the main gate, you two sit in your seats side by side.
There was nothing to talk about, and the two of us watched visitors to the cultural festival from inside the bus.
A brief silence ensues and the bus engine starts.
Shizuku shrugged small as the driver announced and ran out to the mall.
"Looking forward to it..."
"It's the first time I've seen the mall at a cultural festival."
"Yes......"
A little, I think the distance she was vacating the two of us after she uttered the word narrowed.
I looked next to him with only my gaze without turning my face to the side, smiling and holding my hands together on my knees.
You can look at the streets flowing through the bus windows and see the entrance to the mall before it's enough.
When the bus stops at the designated location, it disembarks sequentially from the person who was sitting forward.
When we got down to the stream, the entrance to the mall was decorated unusually.
The word "cherry blossom festival" is written down in cherry blossom color and used as a sign.
I stepped into the mall with no heart or delight that he had chosen cherry blossoms instead of orange millet.
"That's an amazing feast!
"... you're better than our high school."
Right in front of you are people, people, people.
The mayor will be giggling about this somewhere too.
The shopping district, which is showing a great deal of excitement, looks unusual.
On both sides of the street, many stores were lined up as during the summer festival, and even before the supermarket, skewers and other items were discounted.
The shopping district is dominated by food and beverage, so every store has many attractive products lined up during this time.
Shizukuishi probably had the same sentiment, shining her eyes as she moved her neck around her.
"Where shall we go?
……
Answer Shizuku for a moment, who has looked up at this one with such a radiant gaze.
"Do you want to go to your grandma first"
"Right, there first!
Shizukuishi nods and walks ahead.
I can't help but laugh at the way you grab my uniform elbow and move on.
Why do you grab a beautiful slope, a good Shizuku and a good uniform?
I'm not even running away.
The shopping district is comparatively older, but there are many middle school students in it.
The boy's gaze was collected by Shizukuishi, but she pushes forward in a way she doesn't care about that either.
About half way through the mall, I saw an old fish shop I was familiar with.
Because it has a fragrant aroma, it is probably even sold on seafood skewers.
When the two of us line up in a line of fishmongers, Grandma notices that.
"Oh, you're Shizukuishi!
"Ugh..."
"Hello."
I raise my hand and Shizukuishi responds with a small thank you.
With such a grin that it doesn't look good from a strong face, Grandma gives the product to the customer who was in front of us to talk to.
"What, just the two of us on a date? It's nice to be young."
"Thank you"
... I just came to the store for a break.
You don't have to thank Shizukuishi happily, do you?
This uncle can't get through the joke, can he?
Seriously, I can get caught up in it, so it's a hassle to get browned later.
While there was a glorious conversation going on between the two of them, they decided to ask for a proper order to give them water.
"Two Scalloped Skewers"
"Aye, I'll bake you delicious for your pretty little boy and lady"
With that in mind, whoa. It's probably been a long time since I've spontaneously talked like this.
Even during the summer festival, some serious words were thrown at me.
Are you glad that childhood friends came to the store shoulder to shoulder?
That made me feel a little sorry.
Shizuku looked around with pleasure until the order was completed.
I look around unusual shopping malls, too.
Again, there are many butchers and so on. This street is strictly off-limits on an empty stomach.
Plenty of fat elements lined up.
Shizuku will be tough because she is a woman around.
Calorie calculations and so on.
Girls are amazing, aren't they?
I suppress greed in the spirit of steel and care about my diet.
To do so, I feel that the greed belongs to nothing the moment fashion food is discovered, but is that a reward for patience?
Difficult...
"Look, it's my grandma's special scallop grill"
"Thanks for this..."
"You can't take the price from the grandchildren, just eat!
I pushed back the money I offered, and I said so.
I checked the back, but nobody's lined up, so I'll take the generosity.
Handing one to Shizukuishi, Shizukuishi also smiled and thanked her.
"Thank you!
"Thanks...... good luck with that"
Turning back her heel and thanking her, Grandma sniveled her expression and smiled.
With a voice that would be out of the depths of his belly, he utters an extra word as he sees it gloriously zero his laughter.
"Enjoy your date!
... I have eyes around me, so let's not.
Shizukuishi as well as I have a bright red face.
But I still don't feel bad about being nice to someone I've looked after since I was a young girl.
When I appropriately waved and left with a bitter laugh, Shizukuishi was also nibbling laughter.
Shizuku exudes her mood with a gentle voice as she sits on a bench on the street of the mall cheeks freshly baked scallops.
"You're a good man, everyone in this mall"
Before I reached my grandmother's shop, I was called out by many other stores.
The butcher shop people, clothes shops, and green fruit and pastry shops also spoke to me.
We've been using this place for a long time, so they've been nice like their own children because they've known us since we were kids.
That's why we don't have heads up for people who work in this mall.
Many people say the country is inconvenient and they don't like it, but on the contrary, I don't hate being close to each other because it's this country.
Well, I think this is because they're older than their parents.
"Really... I think it's too much to come here... because all I can remember is with you."
"... because it's childhood friendly."
Digits of time shared are different from other students.
The amount of information is different, so it's not surprising that what you remember is what you remember with me.
But I knew that wasn't what she was trying to say.
I know, and the words came out of my mouth unconsciously so I wouldn't notice.
"I also have a lot of friends. Lots of fun and joy... but all I can remember is how casual I am with you."
……
"If anyone else hears me like this, they'll think I'm a terrible person."
I looked up at the sky and my voice seemed very sad even though my expression was clear.
There are no students around to attend the same school, and the worry behind her heart was zeroing out because I'm next door.
But I have a responsibility to hear it.
Don't give me the answer yet, because I'm the one who's creating an ambiguous relationship.
"I... what can I do for you and for you?
The gaze directed was very bright and pale.
My arms are gripped hard and I'm begging for answers.
In restful terms, you won't be able to solve her problems.
That's why I meditated and thought.
And when I slowly aligned my open eyes with hers, I quietly decided to convey my thoughts without a single lie or fix.
