What a coincidence
It was close to four in the afternoon when I separated from Chii and Hifumi. The two girls’ next destination was Chii’s house. Hifumi was going to greet her mother.
From their jumbled story of the past, the trio stayed there a few times during that certain spring vacation. Hifumi apparently got treated well by Chii’s mother. That’s why she, at least, wanted to see her and thank her for all those years.
When I offered to send them there. I was obviously denied by them and walked me to the station instead.
Our usual roles got reversed.
In any case, I had a great time with them, especially when Hifumi gradually softened up to me. By the end of it, the girl never wanted to let go of my hand anymore. The envious Chii had to cut off in between us before the girl shyly retract her hand while showing a dreamy look on her face.
