End of the Scouting Trip

With our scouting trip done, the three of us rode the bus back. Since they were going back to their dorm, the bus stop was where we were going to part ways.

Well, it’s fine, anyway. This scouting trip became really fruitful when it comes to my progress with Juri. Although there’s still the vague line of whether or not she will accept my complexity, the line has already been crossed and her rule has already been broken.

Furthermore, Setsuna-nee dropping her prejudice against me was another plus. I’d have an easier time by not having to deal with her.

“Well then, see you next time, Juri, Setsuna-nee-san.”

“Un. Thank you for accompanying us today, Ruki. That next time will be on our date, right?” Juri replied while donning a pleasant smile on her lips. However, that last line was definitely intentional.

As expected, Setsuna-nee didn’t fail to catch that. With her eyes narrowing to a slit, she stepped in between us.
