Chapter 48: A change of attitude…?
Though it was a shame to leave her behind, I parted ways with Kaede and spent the night alone, and the final morning of the extracurricular camp arrived. The plan for the day was to visit the souvenir shop in the facility and leave after lunch.
“It doesn’t look like we have much time. Is there anything you want, Yuya-kun?”
After leaving my luggage on the bus, I was just about to go shopping when Kaede asked me what I wanted to do. So I put my hand on my chin.
“Hmmm… I don’t think there’s anything I want yet. But it would be nice if I could buy something matching with Kaede.”
This was the place where I had told Kaede ‘I love you’, and where my dream had been fulfilled. It would be nice to have something to commemorate that. The best thing would be something that would remind me of last night every time I use it or see it. I don’t think this would be easy to find, but it will also be a fun memory for both of us to look for it.
“Well, I’m also just happy to leisurely look around with Kaede. Why don’t we just buy something if we both like it?”
“Again… I’m so glad that you’re saying that, because… I feel the same way!”
Then Kaede hugged me in her arms. With her smile as bright as the sun, I couldn’t help but feel my facial muscles relax.
“A, ah, I should buy something for your… family, shouldn’t I? They’ve been so helpful to me, I should buy them something to thank them for their help…”
“Huhhh. It’s okay, don’t worry about it. But, yes, I think you should go with something safe like tea here. My father and mother both like tea, so I’m sure they’ll love it.”
As this was a British-inspired establishment, there was a wide range of authentic teas. There was also a large selection of snacks, and while you might not like them, cookies would be fine.
“Well, if that’s the case, let’s hurry up!”
Kaede and I head to the souvenir shop with our fingers tightly intertwined in a lover’s bond.
“Isn’t there something different about Hitotsuba-san and Yoshizumi-kun? I’m not sure if it’s the same as yesterday or the day before, but I think they’ve become even closer…?”
“Could it be that Yoshizumi has become more gentle, or perhaps Hitotsuba-san’s aura of love is in full swing right now?”
“What a good boyfriend… for him to care about a souvenir for Hitotsuba-san’s parents. My boyfriend, on the other hand, is… haaa…”
I heard the sighs of the girls. What does it mean to be more gentle? I don’t think I’ve changed at all.
I think they were right about feeling the distance being shortened. Not physically, but emotionally. Since I confessed my feelings to Kaede, I don’t have any reservations about her anymore. Before confessing my feelings to her, I would have been nervous and hesitant when I held her hand, but now I can feel confident doing this. Still, I’m somewhat nervous, though.
But still, Kaede’s aura of love was in full swing? I do love you and I don’t have to hide this feeling from you, so I don’t blame you if it was leaking out, but I hope you get what I mean.
“Damn you… Yoshizumi’s a b*****d… for showing off being a ‘meotoppuru’ in the morning…!”
“You sprinkled that ‘meotoppuru’’s sweetness all over the place! S***w you, you b*****d!”
“But look at that smile on Hitotsuba-san’s face! It’s the happiest, most radiant smile I’ve ever seen…! When she smiles like that, there’s no room for… anyone here…”
“I can’t handle it… that sugouple [TN: shugappuru = Sugar + Couple. I’m trying my best, right? Ah, the editor said yes. Yay!] is too sweet… urgh… ”
As usual, the boys’ lamentations were terrible. I mean, there were a lot of other names out there besides ‘meotoppuru’, why that? Wasn’t there supposed to be multiple alternatives?
“Fufu. ‘Meotoppuru’ is quite strange to say, don’t you think? Well, we’re still a couple, but I’m sure we’ll be a married couple in the future, so it describes us perfectly.“
I never thought that Kaede would like this joke of a name. If they find out that it was approved by Kaede, it was going to be troublesome for sure.
“It’s fine. It’s proof that we’re in love. We’re more than just a couple, like Akiho-chan and Higure-kun!”
I had wanted to ask Kaede if she was fine with being called that, but if she approved of it, I guess it was okay. If she had made an unpleasant face here, I would have had to give Motegi and Sakaguchi, including Shinji, iron fist strikes, but she spared their lives.
“That’s not important! It’s time for some fun shopping, Yuya-kun!”
After that, Kaede and I enjoyed shopping until the very last minute.
I chose a pair of stuffed bears, one with a red hat and the other with a blue hat, as a memento for the two of us. We decided to display them in the entrance hall. In addition, Kaede was going to buy a rather large stuffed animal. By the way, when I asked her why she wanted it, she answered with.
“… This is for me to hug it instead of Yuya-kun when you’re home late due to club activities or when I’m home alone and lonely. Is it bad?”
“That’s foully cute, so it’s not, Kaede.”
We ended up buying the stuffed animals and having them shipped to us. Kaede was in tears because she couldn’t bring it on the bus.
