T/N: Sorry, I wasn’t motivated to TL and I used to be busy too, so I took a break for some time. I’m again now although! There are additionally just a few chapters left earlier than we lastly catch up! Anyway, take pleasure in!

Though the environment turned slightly stiff at one level as a result of we began speaking about our profession path, we managed to recuperate from that and proceed our learning.

In all probability, after the discuss, everybody’s mindset, together with me, had modified slightly relating to the matter. The three of them labored even more durable than earlier than, giving Umi and I a neater time to evaluation the supplies. This was one large step by itself.

“Ngh~ …Huh? It’s already this late, I didn’t even understand it… My dad and mom are going to come back again residence quickly, so I ought to get going. Let’s go residence collectively, Yuuchin.”

“Okay. Ah, what about you, Nozomu-kun? Do you need to return with us?”

“Huh? Ah… S-Positive, I imply, it most likely isn’t secure for 2 ladies to stroll round at night time by themselves, proper?”

“Fairly, it’s extra harmful for us should you had been to go along with us.”

“Hm? Did somebody say one thing?”

“Oh jeez, you two, cease! Anyway, Maki-kun, sorry for bothering you till this late…”

“Ah, don’t be, I don’t thoughts…”

Wanting on the clock, I noticed that it was already eight. I had been consuming the snacks we purchased, so I didn’t really feel notably hungry, however I nonetheless needed to make dinner.

“Oh, I’ll go along with you guys. What about you, Maki?”This chapter is up to date by nov(e)(l)biin.com

“Me too. I’m planning on escorting you again residence anyway.”

Ultimately, all of us determined to depart my home collectively. I didn’t have to take Umi residence as a result of it wasn’t the weekend, but it surely felt slightly lonely if I had been the one one who didn’t go along with the group.

Truthfully, I simply wished to stick with them slightly longer.

Chilly wind brushed our hair as we stepped outdoors. Though we nonetheless needed to put on short-sleeved uniforms, it was already October. The climate was too chilly to stroll by means of with out carrying a blazer.

“It’s darkish round right here, Umi. Watch your step.”

“I do know… Hehe~”

Umi checked out our intertwined palms. It had been a yr since we got here to know one another. It was a blessing that we had been in a position to keep shut throughout all this time.

“Can’t you two wait till we’re gone earlier than doing one thing like this?”

“…Severely, you guys can flirt anytime, anyplace. I’m really curious the way you handle to try this…”

““…””

Nitta-san and Nozomu chided us, however that didn’t make us let go of every others’ palms. As a substitute, we introduced our our bodies collectively even nearer.

At first, I used to be reluctant to indicate off our relationship like this, however that modified. These days, I welcome the thought. Everybody ought to see how shut we had been.

…Or possibly it was due to a totally completely different matter?

“I see. Properly, I perceive your emotions, Yuu, however there’s no have to rush. Simply do it slowly and take a look at to consider the upcoming examination first earlier than the rest. Even should you can’t get a very good end result, you’ll be able to all the time attempt for the subsequent examination.”

“Umi is correct. So long as you don’t get all purple marks, it is best to be capable of graduate, so don’t fear about it an excessive amount of.”

“You’re simply scaring her by saying that, Maki…”

“I’m simply telling her that she additionally must be slightly cautious…”

Anyway, you by no means know what the longer term holds. Even when she was at the moment struggling along with her research, issues would possibly change down the road. It wasn’t unusual to listen to how folks turned profitable after overcoming issues that had been holding them again.

Contemplating that Amami-san might solely enhance from the place she was at the moment, I wouldn’t be stunned if later sooner or later, she managed to get right into a famed college earlier than Umi and I.

The ‘Amami Yuu’ I knew was a lady with a ton of potential, in any case.

“…Thanks. You see, the parent-teacher interview is arising quickly and everybody appears to be anxious, and I… Kinda get swept by the waves… However, you two are proper! Others are others, I’m completely different from them. I don’t have to attempt to get excessive grades! I simply have to keep away from getting purple marks first and begin from there!”

“Sure. You possibly can enhance your aim little by little afterwards. First, keep away from getting purple marks, then attempt to attain your class’ common grade and so forth. We nonetheless have loads of time, so that you don’t have to rush.”

“Thanks, Umi…”

Her tense expression lastly softened.

She stared at each of us with teary eyes, however that wasn’t one thing to be involved about.

“Ehehe… I didn’t need to be a nuisance to each of you, that was why I haven’t informed you this till now, however now that I’ve informed you, I’m feeling a lot, significantly better! And now that the matter is completed, I’m hungry! Do you guys thoughts if we had been to go to a comfort retailer first? I need to get some steamed buns!”

“You’re nonetheless going to eat extra? Properly, positive, I’m down with that. What about you, Maki?”

“Me too. I want to purchase one thing for dinner anyway.”

“Hm? The comfort retailer? Properly, since everybody goes there, I’ll tag alongside as nicely. You aren’t invited, Seki. Return residence by yourself, shoo!”

“Buzz off. I’ll go along with you, Maki.”

“Hehe, everybody goes then… Alright, let’s go!”

All of us nodded to one another and smiled.

The time after I was a loner felt like a dream. I used to be surrounded by a whole lot of good folks now.

In comparison with again then, I had extra worries and nervousness, however I additionally had extra enjoyable.

After all, I knew that this might persist even sooner or later. Maybe much more painful issues had been ready for us.

‘However, with the 5 of us collectively, I’m positive…’

I muttered to myself, as we walked collectively below the autumn night time.
