Chapter 79: The Day of the Date (Before Departure)
We spent around an hour messing around before it was time to head out.
We spent the whole time playing games, but because I was conscious of Umi, my gameplay was a mess.
Also, she smelled really good, even though she ate plenty of garlic yesterday. I asked her whether she had taken a bath earlier or maybe she had a secret on handling bad breath.
“Yeah, I use tablets and gum. I don’t care about the smell because I’m used to it, but people around us might, so, here, take some.”
“Okay.”
I threw the things that Umi gave me into my mouth before putting my boots on. This was a brand new pair of boots I bought yesterday.
I usually wore cheap sneakers around, so wearing these boots felt off. It was probably because I wasn’t used to wearing it.
I’ll bear with it for the time being. Hopefully I won’t get sore feet or something.
“Maki, did you bring everything? Your wallet, handkerchief, all good, right? Well, if you don’t have a handkerchief, I brought two of mine…”
