Chapter 272: Choosing Autumn Clothes (4)
Although it wasn’t unusual for us to bump into Nitta-san, it was still unexpected to see her out here. I mean, this place was out at the edge of the town, you know?
Looking at her walking toward us, I could easily tell that she came here by herself, not with Amami-san or her classmates. This was unusual for her, since she wasn’t the kind of person who’d go out of her way to shop alone.
“Heya~ Are you two on a shopping date? Funny that we run into each other like this~”
“That’s my line… Anyway, are you here by yourself, Nina?”
“Nah, of course not. I’m here with my sister. She said she’s sick of studying all the time, so she wants to go out and spend some money, so I came with her here. I don’t know where the hell she ran off to, though, so I guess you can say that I’m here by myself. Now I became a loner like you, Rep~”
“I stopped being a loner a while ago… I think… Anyway, you aren’t here with Amami-san? I thought that since you’re here, she’ll also be here…”
Whenever Umi went on a date with me, Amami-san would ask Nitta-san to go somewhere together. In fact, that was part the reason why we occasionally bumped into those two in the middle of our dates. It felt strange that they weren’t together this time.
Even when considering that Yuna-san was here, Amami-san had met her before, so she wouldn’t refuse to hang out with Nitta-san just because of that.
“Ah, well~ Actually, I didn’t plan to go anywhere today. My sister just dragged me out of here after seeing the TV ad about the place, you know? Since it was so sudden, I felt like I shouldn’t ask Yuuchin to go with me this time. Not to mention that this place is a little too far from our home. It takes more than an hour to get here by bus. There’s no way it’s a good idea to invite her to come here out of nowhere like that.”
