Chapter 400 – Second Summer Vacation

“Matsuda-kun, are you going to the snack bar?”

“Uh. Shall we go together?”

“I have to go pick up teaching materials for the next class. “Can you buy me just one strawberry milk?”

“Okay.”

“Thank you.”

After chatting with Miyuki about her many stories, I went out of her classroom, broke up with her, and headed to her cafeteria.
Why do people flock to the cafeteria after first period ends?
While I was standing in line while thinking about this, I heard a welcome voice from behind me.

“Matsumatsu.”

When I turned her head, Hiyori was looking at me along with Miho.
Isn’t it rare for two people to come to the cafeteria together?
I asked Hiyori as I greeted Miho, who bowed.

“Did you come here to buy something?”

“Yes.”

For someone who kissed me yesterday, he’s very natural.
I’m sure you’re not trying to treat it as something that never happened… But I’m curious about your intentions.

“Please buy me just one Suichu instead. “I’ll give you money.”

Hiyori suddenly asks to buy something.
With a puzzled expression, I pointed to my side.

“We can just line up together, but why?”

“I need to go to the bathroom.”

“You should have come back after your trip, then.”

“I suddenly became urgent.”

When I saw that he was making strange excuses, I could tell right away that he was trying to act calmly.
I answered as I looked at Hiyori’s face, which was making eye contact but didn’t show it, but her shy feelings were clearly conveyed.

“I get it.”

“Thank you.”

“Mitsushima, what do you want to eat?”

When I asked Miho with her soft expression, she looked confused and tried to open her mouth.

“Oh, I…”

At that time, Hiyori quickly grabbed her arm.

“W-what…? What’s the matter?”

Miho opened her eyes wide and asked about Hiyori’s strange behavior, but of course there was no answer.
I think that’s exactly what it looks like when a shrimp’s back explodes during a whale fight.

I burst out laughing as I watched the two people disappear towards the building, bought some food, and tried to leave a message for Hiyori.

But there was absolutely no need for that.
Hiyori was waiting for me in front of the shoe cabinet in the building I entered at the right time.

“Did you buy it?”

It appears everywhere I go and asks for items, like a student ghost giving me a quest… From a horror game set in a school.

“Uh. But why isn’t there Mitsushima?”

“Miho went back to class.”

I thought I would send it first.
Thinking it was a good idea to buy Miho a snack she would like, I handed the small bag to Hiyori.

“Ruler.”

“What envelope is it?”

“I bought this and that to eat together.”

“Is it so? How much is it?”

“It’s okay. “I’m buying it for you.”

“Why?”

“Don’t ask questions, but take whatever an adult gives you.”

“They are only one year apart.”

“You’re not giving it to me?”

“Oh no…!”

Hiyori’s face became happy as she snatched the envelope from my hand.
It makes me happy to see her enjoying it like a child.
While I was thinking about that, Hiyori asked when she saw the strawberry milk in my hand.

“What is strawberry milk?”

“Miyuki thing.”

“Give it to me.”

Look at how nasty he is. His expression is full of greed.
During her school trip, she gets along well with Miyuki and confidently holds out her hand and tries to take her strawberry milk…
Of course I’m joking, but I’m very worried.
I wonder if I should slap my butt.

“No.”

“Give it to me.”

“You don’t want to eat that?”

“Are you threatening me with that? “Don’t you know how bad it is to give and take away?”

“Then behave yourself well. “Are you wearing a pretty skirt today?”

Her eyes momentarily avoided mine.
It seemed like yesterday’s events were pictured in her mind.
She changed her subject when she looked down at her own skirt that covered below her knees.

“Matsumatsu, it’s vacation soon.”

“Yes.”

“Can I go to my senior’s house often during vacation?”

“And. Instead, don’t come to me out of the blue and contact me.”

“Why? “Is it because it would be difficult if someone barged in while I was doing something dirty?”

You are making a laughable provocation.
I asked back, laughing internally.

“What dirty things are you talking about?”

“Yes?”

Hiyori blinks her own large eyes.
It’s as if he didn’t expect me to fight back.

“What kind of dirty thing is that?”

“What… Doesn’t it just come to mind?”

“No?”

“Don’t lie…!”

It’s cute how he reads my naturally virtuous expression and makes an angry face full of embarrassment.
I said, looking down at her with her arms stretched out below her waist and her head raised, as if she were facing an adult.

“Anyway, please contact me. “I don’t know about anything else, but it’s basic courtesy to do that when you go to someone else’s house.”

“I don’t like it.”

“This can be happen?”

“… Yes.”

I’m going to listen to her very carefully anyway, but like Lenka, I always snap at her at least once.
With a satisfied smile, I stared at Hiyori’s face, very intently.
To be exact, it was her lips.

“W-what is it…!”

She noticed where my gaze was and was very embarrassed.
She tries hard to keep her spirits up, but it’s funny that not even a speck of dust appears on her.
I smiled at her cute behavior and asked, touching my lower lip with her finger.

“Did you change the color she put on her lips?”

“Yes?”

“The color is a little different from usual.”

“Ah yes. “There is a separate tint called Kulsunga.”

“What is kulsunga?”

“Cool peach.”

“Is that the name of the tint?”

“That’s right.”

Just call it a cool pink tone…
Employees working in the cosmetics industry seem to have a very difficult time even coming up with a name.
Anyway, it’s a peach… Chinami would really like it, right?
I’ll have to remember it and buy it for you.

“Why are your nails so shiny?”

“Because I added a tip.”

“You’re doing all sorts of things.”

“I’m going to get another ear piercing today. “Hey.”

Hiyori can’t be left alone during vacation.
I think I’ll be going on a rampage and doing all sorts of things.
I said, flipping the side of her hair and patting her stupid fur, showing off one of her ears.

“Let’s do that in moderation. “It’s pretty even if you don’t do it, so why are you running around like that?”

Just a passing compliment.
Hiyori’s ears heated up slightly at that.

“What can I say?” I’ll do it.”

They say it like that, but I know.
Hiyori won’t be going to get her piercings done today.

I’m not as shy as I used to be, but the way I’m trying to hide my emotions now is really annoying.

Wouldn’t it be nice if I could have my first relationship with Hiyori during vacation?
After thinking about that for a moment, I grabbed Hiyori’s shoulder and turned her around.
Then he gently pushed her back towards the stairs.

“Go in. “It’s almost time for class.”

The scent of lemon wafting into her nostrils is like a signal of summer vacation.
I lightly scolded Hiyori for straining her body and climbed the stairs with her.

“Head!”

Tsk-!

Lenka’s bamboo sword succinctly exclaimed and touched her classmate’s head.
A clean hit on the grid area. At least it was one game.

“One round!”

As expected, Coach Goro, who was watching the referee, raised the flag.
These days, perhaps because the competition is just around the corner, there are more days of sparring, and the sound of hitting refreshes my mind.
To that extent, Lenka’s attack was refreshing.

“I guess your hands are itching?”

Chinami asked a question as she approached me while I was watching.
Every time I see her, I want to hug her tightly, and I answered as I looked down at her with her loving eyes.

“It’s not that bad.”

“It’s a shame.”

“But Master, don’t you do any sparring or anything like that? “I’ve never seen it before, except for a few times before I went on a school field trip.”

“I’m doing this separately from Lenka.”

“Is it so? When?”

“Recently, I often stop by Lenka’s house after school. “There is a separate training room for kendo at Lenka’s house, and we do it there.”

“Interesting. Do I have to only do kendo there?”

“Four? “What do you mean?”

Chinami’s head tilted in one direction.
It seemed like he didn’t understand what I meant at all.
I shouldn’t go into detail and impress upon the innocent Chinami the bad side of her worldly life.

“It’s nothing. “You didn’t forget your promise to stay at my house for a night after the competition, right?”

“Sickle…! “It’s something we need to think about a bit…”

“Didn’t you say the same thing last time?”

“Ah, I can’t organize my thoughts yet…”

Looking at Chinami, who suddenly became shy, my hands were itching to give her a soft, soft massage.
I looked down at her lovely girl and smiled brightly at her, but when Lenka, who had just finished sparring with her, approached me, I frowned at her.
Then, as she was wiping some of the cold sweat from her face with a towel, she got angry.

“What? What are you…!”

“What.”

“Why do you frown when you look at people? Do you want to die?”

Staying overnight at Miyuki’s house, growing their love for each other even more, trying out their first relationship with Hiyori, having a threesome with two people who are closer to her than her real sisters, and even playing with Lenka’s neglect…
Mmmm. There must be a lot to do during vacation.

“Hey…! “Are you ignoring me?”

Lenka must have noticed that I was distracted, and as she looked around, she raised her voice.
And whenever Lenka does this, Chinami always stops her.

“Friend, why do you want to die for your junior? “Your words are too harsh.”

“No, Chinami…! Why are you so strict only with me…! “He gave me a rotten look when you couldn’t see him…!”

Chinami looked at me with eyes as if asking if it was true.
She shrugged her shoulders and I naturally made an excuse.

“I think the manager misunderstood that I was suddenly starting to sneeze.”

“That’s it, isn’t it?”

“Sure.”

Lenka laughed as if she was shocked.
It looked like we were going crazy with frustration while playing the drums and janggu.

When the three of us have a conversation, Chinami often takes my side.
But this was all brought on by Lenka.
Why? She must have been talking about me behind my back when I was alone with Chinami.

The shepherd boy… No, who would believe the girl’s words?
More than karma, karma.

It’s nice to see Lenka so upset, but I also want to see her fidget because I ignore her.
I have great expectations about what kind of interesting pictures will come out.

Lenka beats her chest and speaks out her truth.
Chinami said, patting her obliques on her lower back.

“When I’m not feeling well, I try to eat peaches.”

Come to think of it, summer is the season for peaches.
Chinami must be very happy. She’d pile it up in a heap at her house and start whittling it down with her mother, Momoka.

Thinking about Momoka makes me miss Lenka’s mother.
I couldn’t see her face, but she must have looked exactly like Lenka.

After enjoying a light incident, I met Miyuki after finishing my club activities.
He looks a little tired, probably because he’s busy with student council work as vacation approaches, but I think I’ll let him get some rest today.

“Matsuda-kun, Inoo-senpai is the head of the kendo club, right? “Nanase-senpai is the manager.”

Miyuki’s question as she buried herself deeply in the backrest of the passenger seat.
I started the engine and started the car, shaking my head.

“Yes.”

“Then, will you tell them that you’ll be stopping by the kendo club tomorrow? “To the director too.”

“Why the kendo club?”

“I’m planning to visit next semester to study the budget.”

“Accounting work is not your job.”

“The kendo club said I would do it. “I want to see Matsuda in a kendo uniform after a long time.”

It’s always nice to hear Miyuki’s unique expression of affection.
I let out a breath of fresh air and laughed, ending today’s peaceful life at the academy as I walked out the front gate.
