Book 15.5: Epilogue: When Hearts Touch One Another
After our holiday on the luxury cruise ship ended, we boarded a bus and returned to the Advanced Nurturing High School.
Since then, I spent my days going back and forth between the dormitory and Keyaki mall. You could almost call it lazy and self-indulgent, and I think I’ve spent the time rather insipidly.
During that time, the number of people I hung out with increased incomparably to last year.
There were the members of the Ayanokouji group, Sudou and Ike, who I’d been friends with from the beginning, Ishizaki and Hiyori from another class, and in the end, I even had a little chat with some members of Ichinose’s class. Even if I told myself from last year, I wouldn’t have believed all the things that had gone on.
And then───
“Ahh, today’s the last day of summer vacation…”
Sitting down on the bed with a poof, Kei looked up at the ceiling and muttered gloomily.
My girlfriend, Karuizawa Kei, and I had been regularly going on secret dates so that we could reveal our relationship once the second semester started. Today would be the last one.
While we shared a somewhat uninvigorating time; it was by no means an uncomfortable one.
