Sticking by my side

After we finished eating, I left the Basketball Club with Hanabi in tow. Our destination? The Sena’s Boxing Club. Since their match was going to start two hours before the basketball finals, I had plenty of time to cheer for my girl.

Actually, I wanted to leave Hanabi behind. That way, she could get more acquainted with the girls in the Basketball Club. However, she insisted on accompanying me. She even went ahead to wait for me outside while I took my time to talk to Satsuki and Eguchi-sensei.

As for her reason, she said she’d just feel bad staying there since she wouldn’t be of any help to them aside from her goofy antics. Then, when I didn’t respond to it, she shyly murmured that another reason was... she’s not good in a crowd like that. She preferred to be in a small circle or just be next to me where she could have the most fun today.

Seeing how she emphasized those points, I didn’t say anything.
