Destination
With our next destination being Nao’s house to send her home, I suggested for Akane to ride with us. Although it’s not along the way, it’s in the same direction. Shio could just drop her off at the station nearest to it.
Moreover, when Shio also heard about that suggestion, she found Akane’s addition on our last trip for the day a welcome one.
That’s because even though they always see each other whenever Shio would come to visit or eat with us and even slept with us on the same bed once, there’s still a little restraint in the way they treat each other. With the plan to let her sit on the passenger’s seat, they could talk more freely to each other. Furthermore, after her relationship with Nao transforms into that of close sisters, she’s probably thinking that it’s time for her to put down her adult view and accept that she’s already the same as the others; to get along with them.
Well, I had to hear her honest thoughts to confirm that.
