T/N: Thanks Oimar10 and Istsel for the espresso!

After the sports activities pageant and the fireworks pageant have been over, the climate grew to become noticeably chilly. The new and humid temperature that hung across the thirty diploma numbers since July had gone.

Though we have been required to put on our summer season uniform till the top of September, a few of the women have been already carrying lengthy sleeved shirts and cardigans, clearly ready for the autumn.

As for me, I believe it was slightly chilly to put on a short-sleeved uniform, nevertheless it was too scorching to put on a blazer throughout this time. Ah, by the way in which, in our faculty, boys needed to both put on the summer season uniform (the quick sleeved one) or winter uniform (lengthy sleeved + blazer). Additionally, due to the climate, getting up within the morning grew to become much more of a ache.nove(l)bi(n.)com

Earlier than the temptation to sleep in grew even stronger, I compelled myself to stand up and dress. Across the similar time, Umi got here to my home, like regular.

“Morning~ Ah, take a look at your mattress hair! Jeez, come over right here, I’ll repair it for you.”

“Mm…”

It appeared like Umi opted to put on her autumn uniform; a protracted sleeved uniform with a pastel pink cardigan. Not like with boys, our faculty had a laxer rule for ladies’ uniforms. Although, it felt like that was extra of a bother than something, since they’d needed to showcase their style sense and such throughout this time of the 12 months.

Properly, in Umi’s case, she’d look good in no matter clothes she’d put on— Wait, it was too early to simp on her…

“—Alright! Lastly get that one persistent little man down! Anyway, Maki, do you might have something to say to me at the moment?”

“Um… You look good in that. Properly, I imply, you all the time look good in something.”

“Yay~ Hehe, you’re getting higher at complimenting me. Seventy factors!”

“Not 100? Properly, no less than it’s a good rating.”

Properly, I assume it wouldn’t be me if I have been to get an ideal rating.

Anyway, it felt good to see her being cheerful once more at the moment. Seeing her smile immediately made my temper higher.

…Perhaps, I ought to take into account shopping for some new ones, no less than for the autumn. Contemplating the temperature, it wasn’t like I might simply put on the garments I wore in spring, so it wouldn’t be a waste of cash.

“…Umi.”

“Sure, sure, let’s get you some garments this weekend. I’ve been fascinated with getting new ones for myself too.”

“Thanks to your fast understanding.”

I didn’t have that a lot cash, however so long as we selected the fitting retailer, I ought to be capable to afford it.

The extra I got here into this relationship with Umi, the extra I noticed the significance of cash.

Mother favored Umi, so if I have been to inform her all the things, she’d in all probability give me more cash, however… Garments weren’t precisely low cost… I felt dangerous asking her for more cash…

“Nonetheless, it’s uncommon. I by no means anticipated that you just’d ask me to go purchase some garments. Only a whereas in the past, you’d nonetheless put on your lame garments except I particularly informed you to not.”

“You referred to as them lame, however I nonetheless like these garments… Anyway, you’re free this Saturday, proper?”

“Sure. We’ll purchase the garments on Saturday and put on them on our Sunday date, good.”

“…Will the date be at our home?”

“Attempt to ask your self that query.”

“…I get it.”

As regular, my weekend was full of my plans with Umi.

After the sports activities pageant, the varsity wouldn’t maintain anymore occasions within the autumn, so I’d do my greatest to commit as a lot of my time as doable to Umi.
