Midnight Call
When the clock ticked to midnight, I stepped out of the room, leaving the two girls still deep in their conversation regarding what we were just discussing earlier before Akane’s arrival, to make a phone call.
Since birthdays only happen once a year, dedicating time to greet the girl celebrating it was already one of those special occasions that I would prioritize over anything.
And today, June 22. It’s the opportunist girl’s birthday; Saki.
Like with Hina, given that we hadn’t touched upon that subject during our conversations, Nami filled me in about its exact date. Surprisingly enough, it’s just four days after Hina.
In any case, considering I managed to surprise Hina recently, Saki who’s smarter than she looks clearly had a hunch that I wouldn’t miss this moment of greeting her as soon as the date changes.
As soon as I tapped the button to initiate the call, it instantly got connected as though she was waiting for me all this time.
