Chapter 88 Arriving at the Meeting Place Together

Arriving at the Meeting Place Together

After eating the bread he bought with Mizuki at the convenience store closest to his house, Sou changes into his casual clothes and goes to the train station, where he will work part-time handing out tissues and where he will meet Haruki and Manami.

The station is the closest to Sou’s house, so they arrive within five minutes.

Besides students, there are many kinds of people in front of the station.

“Ah! It’s Sou!! Oii~~!!”

As soon as Haruki sees Sou, her expression changes completely; she brightens up, waving her hand as if to emphasize her presence. Mizuki next to him is not visible at all in Haruki’s field of vision.

Manami waves her hand slightly, imitating Haruki.

On the other hand, Mizuki also waves at Haruki as if to emphasize her presence. As if she wanted to show that she was “next” to Sou.

“Hmph.”

When Haruki finally recognizes Mizuki, who has arrived at the meeting place with Sou, she frowns in discontent. Obviously, she can’t hide her irritation.

“Why is Mizuki with Sou? Your houses aren’t that close to each other, right?”

Haruki stares threateningly at Mizuki and asks her why she came to the meeting place with Sou.

It looks like something is about to happen.

“Isn’t your house close to Sou-kun? I thought you knew him better, Haruki-chan.”

With an obviously slightly mocking tone and a happy smile, Mizuki answers Haruki. As if she wanted to show her superiority.

Maybe she didn’t like Mizuki’s attitude. The veins on Haruki’s shiny forehead are bulging, hidden by her bangs. She seems to be quite angry. We can see it in her posture and in her face.

“Don’t play dumb. Answer what I’m asking you. Of course, honestly.”

Haruki orders in a cold tone and stares at Mizuki with a sharp look.

“It’s not like I’m interrupting. But Manami is also curious.”

Manami joins in to compete with Haruki and Mizuki.

“Hmm~ You two are curious. That makes sense~~”

Clash, clash, clash.

The three clash. Sparks fly wildly.

“Then~ Actually~ I spent the night at Sou-kun’s house. What's more~ He said that I was the first classmate to spend the night with him~”

Mizuki opens her mouth to break the tense atmosphere and proudly tells a story.

““What!?””

Haruki and Manami can’t hide their surprise at Mizuki’s confession. Their eyes are wide open, and their mouths are not closed.

“And!! Hey, call me that, Sou-kun~”

Mizuki taps Sou’s arm with her finger.

“By that? What’s that? Call you that?”

Sou can’t find an answer in Mizuki’s abstract words.

“Mooo~ Come on!! We called each other in the morning! I’m going to sulk again, you know.”

Mizuki puffs out her cheeks in obvious dissatisfaction.

“Ugh. Please stop it, Mizuki-chan.”

Narrowing his eyes in disgust, Sou calls Mizuki by name. We can see that he’s nervous from his tone.

““?!””

Was there another shock? But Haruki and Manami’s eyes widened.

“Thanks for calling my name~ I’m so happy~~”

Ignoring Haruki and Manami’s shocked reactions, Mizuki clings to Sou’s arm with a shy smile.

“Hey. We’re too close. We’re in front of the station, you know.”

Looking around, Sou scolds Mizuki in a low voice. He receives many jealous and hurt looks from the people around him.

“It’s okay!!”

Mizuki shows no sign of caring about the people around her. She has completely isolated herself from the outside world.

“Ah!! Part-time job applications have already started!! Let’s go together~”

While Haruki and Manami remain silent, Mizuki takes Sou’s arm and tries to lead him to the registration area.

“Hey. I can walk by myself. Don’t drag me!”
