The Sister of My Childhood Friend Who Has a Boyfriend Has Been Involved With Me a Lot Lately

… I see… I see…”

When I said that, I heard Ageha’s “OK” over the smartphone.

Did you do it? I don’t remember.

… Well, I wouldn’t mind if it was a mis-remembrance on my part, and I’d welcome it.

“Then let’s go somewhere for Golden Week.”

“… Uh-huh.
Yeah!”

Ageha, who nodded back twice with a voice full of temperament, hastily added, “No, no, no.
I promised to go!”

When I replied, “Okay, okay.” she puffed up and then quickly changed her mind.

“And it just so happens that I have a pair of tickets to an amusement park in my possession!”

“Well, I’m seriously wondering where those tickets came from.”

A pair of tickets to an amusement park must be quite expensive.

I don’t believe that Ageha bought them, but whatever the case, I am curious to know how she obtained them.

Perhaps sensing that I was a bit wary, she replied, as if she had given up on the idea.

“My father got it from the company.
A commemorative gift for perfect attendance? Or something.”

“I see, so that’s what it was.”

Some companies give commemorative gifts to employees who have continued to follow through on their work properly.

I guess the pair of tickets is a part of that.

When I was satisfied, she continued.

“Dad was too busy with work to go, and mom said it was okay if dad didn’t go, so that’s why I got it.”

“What about Karen? Isn’t it better to go together?”

“Golden Week seems to be a little difficult because my sister’s boyfriend has a practice match.”

“We have ten days off this year, can’t she arrange for at least one day?”

Haru-kun, you’re not very perceptive! I’m sure I got it from my sister quite forcibly so that I could go with Haru-kun.”

“… I see.”

I was embarrassed to hear the jokingly angry tone in her voice.

It was certainly my fault.

It’s my fault that I didn’t think of the possibility of her liking me.

I’m disgusted with myself for being such a failure in this area.

A man who is unable to notice the subtleties of a girl he likes is no good.

“Then let’s take advantage of your father’s kindness and go together during Golden Week.”

“Uh, yeah! It’s a promise!”

With a bouncy voice, the call was disconnected.

For a short while, I stared at the screen of my smartphone with Nyain displayed, and suddenly a clever idea came to my mind.

When I thought about it carefully, it was close to me.

For Ageha, something like a high school student.
