A couple of minutes after Amami-san’s interview started, Sora-san arrived at our faculty. With that, our group of 4 began chatting. After all, we huddled a bit shut collectively in order that we wouldn’t disturb everybody round us.

“My, that’s the primary time I’ve heard that! My son by no means talked to me about it and once I requested him, he’d solely give me imprecise solutions!”

“That’s precisely what my daughter has been doing these days. It’s nice that they’re getting alongside so effectively, however nonetheless… Umi, are you able to inform us what you two have been as much as in Maki-kun’s home?”

“W-We’re simply hanging out like typical! R-Proper, Maki?”

“Y-Sure…”

““…Oh my.””

Seeing us giving our solutions whereas averting our eyes, our mother and father set free a collection of chuckles.

The subject of the dialog was my relationship with Umi, in fact. We nonetheless frolicked at my place each weekend, this hadn’t modified from again after we had been nonetheless ‘mates.’ What had modified was the vary of issues that we had accomplished throughout these instances. As we grew nearer, it inevitably elevated.Up to date from novelbIn.(c)om

…And amongst these issues, there have been some actions that each of us couldn’t simply say out loud.

Anyway, I had anticipated that my mother and Sora-san would maintain this sort of dialog if that they had the prospect to fulfill… It was simply, I didn’t count on them to do it right here out of all locations…

I might really feel my physique temperature rise greater, as if it was midsummer.

“By the best way, Sora-san, have you ever heard about their profession decisions? It looks as if they’re aiming for a similar college.”

“Sure, in fact! It’s the most effective college on the town, in order a dad or mum, I don’t have any complaints about their decisions, but it surely’s a bit too removed from our homes for them to commute there day by day, isn’t it? Effectively, Umi, Maki-kun, I consider that you simply two have some form of plan, proper? Now could be the right likelihood to spill all the things out, you understand?”

““…””

We hadn’t advised them something but, but it surely appeared like that they had a tough thought about what we had been planning on doing.

“Okay… I’m happening forward then… Hehe…”

Her habits made me suspect that one thing may need occurred to her in the course of the interview. Was it about her examination outcomes? In any case, her shoulders had been extra slumped than typical and after we parted, she set free a deep sigh.

Then once more, I assume this sort of factor wasn’t something unusual. Through the parent-teacher interview, not solely did you need to face the tough chilly actuality about your present scenario, you additionally needed to do it proper in entrance of your mother and father. It actually couldn’t be helped, in any case, each Eri-san and Yagisawa-sensei had been correctly fascinated with Amami-san’s future.

It made me notice one other responsibility for ‘adults’; To bear the resentment of their kids.

And it additionally made me notice one other responsibility {that a} ‘pal’ needed to bear; To consolation a pal in want.

I instantly grabbed my telephone and despatched a textual content to Umi.

[Maehara: Umi]

[Asanagi: Yes. Leave her to me.]

[Maehara: Thank you. I know I can count on you.]

[Asanagi: I mean, she’s my best friend, you know?]

With that, I might relaxation simple and go away Amami-san in Umi’s arms, at the very least for now.

Anyway, I ought to put the matter apart and concentrate on what was in entrance of me.

“Maehara-kun, are you accomplished? We’re a bit pressed for time, so, can we begin now?”

“Sure… Firstly, Mother, thanks for coming.”

“Hm? What’s it all the sudden? …Effectively, you don’t want to fret. I’m nice with something so long as you’re doing effectively in class.”

I sat down subsequent to my mother. Lastly, the long-awaited parent-teacher interview began.
