Promise to go out with an angel

"Golden Week is coming soon."

　Looking at the calendar on the shelf, Zhou murmured.

　April was busy with things related to advancing to the next grade, and before I knew it, the end was nearing, and Golden Week, which students and working people alike were looking forward to, had arrived at my side.

　Zhou doesn't particularly dislike studying, and going to school is a little troublesome, but it's not a pain, so it's not like he's that happy.

　It's just nice to have more time to relax.

　Unlike last year, there will be noon during Golden Week this year, so it won't be boring.

　Chitose had already been forced into a schedule to ``taste the taste of Mahirun's cooking class'' for one day out of the holidays, so far from being bored, it seemed like it would be lively and tough.

"It's going to be another long vacation..."

"Hmm, don't you like it?"

"Rather than hate it, I'm wondering how to pass the time."

　Apparently Mahiru is of the same type.

　In the first place, both of us are indoors, so we don't have any plans.

"Well, I'm happy to be on vacation, but I have to do something."

　If I don't neglect my daily preparation and review, I can study just the right amount, so I don't want to go out of my way to study until the break.

　My hobbies are walking and reading. It's the same with games, so I really didn't have a plan.

"...Chou-kun, are you free?"

"I've time"

　So far, I only have a promise to go to karaoke with Itsuki and Kadowaki on the day of the cooking class where I play the taster. I have a week off, so I have quite a few days left.

　Well, maybe I should take it easy at home, when I spilled out, I noticed that midday was staring up at me.

"What's wrong?"

　When I looked at Midday who seemed to want to say something, Midday reached out to the smartphone that was on the table.

　To be more precise, it's a smartphone case, but.

　Midday's smartphone case is a notebook type and has a place to store cards, etc., but I took out a small plastic bag with a zipper from the place to store the cards.

　There were several folded pieces of paper stored inside, and Mahiru took out one of them and spread it out for everyone to see.

　It hasn't been long enough for me to feel nostalgic, but the ``Ask Me Anything'' ticket I gave her a little over a month ago was there.

　Mahiru holds out the book with an illustration of a bear on it, which I personally thought was a good drawing, and she stares up at Shu again.

"Can I use it?"

"Please tell me whatever you want."

"...I'll take Shu-kun's day off during Golden Week. I'd like to go shopping and play."

　When Mahiru timidly asks if it's no good, Shuu lets out a bitter smile.

"No, even if you don't use it, I'll go with you to buy things if you ask me."

　It's probably going to be a relationship with the man form, but if asked, I'll accompany you to that extent, so I don't think I need to bother using the ticket.

　In fact, he laughed, thinking that he didn't have to use his right to ask for such a trivial thing, but Mahiru looked at him seriously and shook his head.

"I'll use it. ...On that day, I'll ask you to do whatever you say."

"Well, that's fine if you want to say that, but what are you planning on making me do..."

"...I'm carrying luggage."

"Yes, yes, just as you asked."

　I wanted to ask if he was going to let me carry such a heavy load, but if Midday goes that far, I'll nod.

　Mahiru, who is basically an indoor person, probably wants to enjoy going out once in a while, and is willing to go out with him as much as he wants.

　And it would be useful.

　Well, I think it would be nice if I didn't get rumored to be that guy again, but it would be insipid to not go anywhere because of that fear.

"So, where are you going?"

"Eh, I haven't decided on that."

"You haven't decided..."

"...Because I don't know what Shu-kun likes..."

"Eh, me?"

"...If we're going to go out together, I'd like it to be somewhere we can both enjoy."

　Is it no good? There was no way that there would be a person who could say no when someone grabbed me by the sleeve and told me to look up.

　After choking his breath and making his gaze wander back and forth, he combed his hair and let out a small sigh.

"...I was planning on following Mahiru. Well, then, there's a place I want to go."

　It's hard to go alone, but there is a place I'd like to visit at least once.

"Where?"

"Don't laugh."

"I won't laugh."

"...Cat cafe"

　Yes, that cat cafe with lots of cute cats.

　Zhou likes animals relatively, but he couldn't keep them in an apartment, so he could only look at magazines and people's animals.

　Even if I wanted to go to a cafe like that by myself, I had never been able to do it until now because I was embarrassed by the people around me to attack the cafe alone.

　If there is midday, you can go without worrying about other people's eyes. In other words, the gaze will fly away, but I feel like I can enter without worrying.

　Besides, I had a small ulterior motive of thinking that it would be really cute to see Mahiru playing with a cat, but I couldn't bring myself to say that.

"... Uh, I thought it would be embarrassing if it was just the two of us. No way."

"N-no, that's not true! Well then...shall we go together?"

"...Ou"

　I'm grateful that he accepted me, but I'm also embarrassed.

　Zhou, who hid it while feeling a slight heat on his cheeks, laughed a little in the middle of the day when he started to get restless.

"What do you do after that?"

"After that, we'll go shopping together...Ah, I'd like to go to a game center. I've never been to a place like that."

　After all, she had never been to an arcade in the middle of the day, which seemed to be a lady, and she was interested, so it would be nice to take her along with her studies.

　Midday's favorite stuffed animals will probably be in stock again, and it will be fun to take them together.

"Then it's okay to stay there. I guess it's like going to a cat cafe, eating, shopping, and going to an arcade."

"yes"

　Once the schedule for the day was decided to some extent and I was taking a sigh of relief, Midday looked up to show his face to Zhou.

"I'm looking forward to it."

　Then, he looked at me with such shyness that I felt like I was born with happiness, and I almost stopped breathing.

"I hope you can take a break soon."

　Mahiru, who seemed to be looking forward to going out from the bottom of his heart while muttering such things, hugged the cushion in a good mood with a sweet smile on his face.

　Shuu stared at that smile for a while as if dumbfounded, then replied in a hoarse voice, "...That's right," he felt his heart making a strong thud.

　Angel-sama's surprise attack was extremely heartbreaking.
