Pressure Relief

Not long after that, Hitomi and I continued to our destination. We’re in a public space so even if we both wanted to prolong that moment, it would be bad if we gathered more attention to us. Affirming our feelings for each other was more than enough at the moment. We could still have more chances in the future anyway. Moreover, with Hitomi opening up more to me, I’m certain that I will be hearing more from her. Not just her usual updates about Otoha but about herself.

Anyway, unlike yesterday wherein Eguchi waited for me outside, Hitomi and I walked through the door unhindered. No one was around and we weren’t the only ones coming in and out of the place. If we acted cautious, that would just become more suspicious.

They’re staying in the same waiting room as yesterday so… we already have a clear destination in mind.

“Lest I forget, I have a message to relay to you, Ruki.”

“Message? From who?”
