Chapter 174: Just the Two of Us (1)
I felt bad about Riku-san’s awkward parting with Shizuku-san, but it was about time for us to check in at Shimizu Inn, so we had to leave soon.
“See you later, Grandma.”
“See you, Riku. You’re an adult now, so take a good care of Umi-chan, you hear me?”
“Thanks for the lunch today, Grandma. It was tasty!”
“Ah, glad to hear that, Umi-chan. Come back whenever you want to, okay? You too, Maehara-kun, you’re always welcome here.”
“…Thank you.”
Even though we’d eaten the 1m soft-serve, Shimizu’s food was so tasty that Umi and I managed to devour not only the sushi and appetizers, but also the watermelon that Mizore-san prepared for us as dessert.
Tomorrow’s memorial service would be the gathering of the Asanagis, so I wouldn’t be able to attend, but I would drop by here again the day after to thank Mizore-san for her hospitality.
After saying goodbye to Sora-san who would stay at Mizore-san’s place, the three of us went to Shimizu. We drove back through the mountain path we came on.
