Picking up Yae and Ririka didn’t take that long. After all, they’re already waiting near the station at Ririka’s neighborhood.
I sped through the street to reach them quickly – though it was impossible to make the train go faster than it was. In any case, I still arrived there relatively quickly because my worrywart trait was once again in full throttle. Because I asked them to wait for me outside when I left the house with Fuyu, I couldn’t help but overthink that someone could bother or hit on them, like that time with Aoi and Ria.
Thankfully, nothing of the sort happened. Furthermore, the two kept on updating me every few minutes. They even went to the convenience store nearby, buying snacks for the night – even if they had just eaten dinner.
On my way to them, I called them through a video call, keeping them company while we talked about our day.
