Chapter 112 – Main Topic
ā€œThank you for waiting.ā€
Sara-senpai and Mayumi-san returned with teapots and other items on trays and began to lay them out on the table.
ā€œI also baked a cake~.ā€
With that said, Mayumi-san put what looked like a chiffon cake on the table.
ā€œI’m sorry for all the trouble, and thank you very much.ā€
ā€œIt’s okay. It’s not a big deal since I don’t have many opportunities to make it because no one eats it. Now then, let me feed youā€¦ā€
ā€œMother, please go over there.ā€
Sara-senpai quickly sat down on my left side and nestled in place without any gaps to sit on.
Uhh… The summer clothing is thin, and I could feel something soft…
ā€œAra ara, Sara-chan is so bold. If that’s the case, thenā€¦ā€
Mayumi-san went behind the sofa and wrapped her hands around me.
ā€œKazunari! Come overā€¦ā€
Before Sara-senpai could finish, Mayumi-san forcefully entered my right side, which was slightly unobstructed.
I was caught off guard, not expecting her to forcefully fill in a gap of this size.
T-too tight…
ā€œUfufu… Now, Takanashi-san, let me feed youā€¦ā€
ā€œMother, you’re bothering Kazunari-san! Also, that’s my role, so Mother, please leave!ā€
The two pushed each other, sandwiching me in between. I am in a lot of trouble.
Besides Sara-senpai, I can also feel Mayumi-san’s unfair coercion from the other side…
ā€œNfufu (*Giggle*). Hey, Takanashi-kun, happy?ā€
This person knows, but she’s still doing it on purpose…
Let me say this in simple terms. Mayumi-san’s appearance is like Sara-senpai’s older sister, and to add to that, she becomes truly dangerous with her cheat-like level of manner.
But for me, no matter the factor, Sara-senpai is still the best.
ā€œMother… that’s enoughā€¦ā€
I inadvertently looked at Sara-senpai since her tone became serious. Her expression looks really scary. This is dangerous…
ā€œU-umm, Mayuā€¦ā€
In a flash, Mayumi-san quickly moved away from me and sat on the sofa on the other side of the table.
ā€œMou~ I was just joking. I can’t believe Sara-chan would get so serious about a boy.ā€
ā€œIt’s because you’re causing trouble for Kazunari-san!ā€
Sara-senpai hugged me from the side as if to protect me. Looking from Mayumi-san’s perspective, it seems that her teasing worked.
ā€œMayumi-san, umm… could you please stop… you’re causing me trouble.ā€
She’s causing many troubles… in more ways than one.

*Munch, munch*
ā€œFireworks display?ā€
ā€œYeah. A friend was putting up a food stall and asked me to help. I was wondering if you would like to join. It’s only an hour’s drive from here, but it will be a whole day trip. Of course, you can simply have fun with Sara-chan.ā€
That might be nice.
I’ve always wanted to go to see fireworks…
As I looked at Sara-senpai, she was also looking at me, and the moment our eyes met, she smiled.
ā€œUmm, Sara-senpai, do you want to go with meā€¦ā€
ā€œI’ll leave the decision to you, Kazunari-san. I will follow whatever you wanted to do… ah~nā€¦ā€
*Chomp*
*Munch… munch…*
That means the decision is entirely up to me.
Sara-senpai’s way of thinking is so old-fashioned, often leaving the decision-making to me.
I sometimes leave it to her, so I guess it depends on the topic.
ā€œThen, that’s settled. I’ll have to prepare a yukata for you, Sara-chan.ā€
ā€œA yukata? I don’t think there’s any… … No, I think I’ll need one.ā€
Sara-senpai tried to refuse at first, but she quickly changed her mind upon seeing my face.
This means I can see Senpai in a yukata.
This makes me pretty happy…
ā€œAra, you look so happy, Takanashi-san.ā€
Mayumi-san immediately saw that and pointed it out.
Sara-senpai in a yukata… I’m really excited about it.
ā€œWell, that’s because… I really, really wanted to see Sara-senpai in a yukata.ā€
ā€œKazunari-sanā€¦ā€
Sara-senpai appeared really happy when she heard those words when I looked at her.
Recently, I no longer feel embarrassed when having an eye to eye contact with Sara-senpai.
Sara-senpai also looked really happy rather than embarrassed. I hope this was not my imagination at work.
ā€œ*Sigh*… I didn’t know that you were such a clingy girl, Sara-chan. I’ve been seeing how you were being fed. Takanashi-kun, you can just call me mother-in-law … no, sister-in-law anytime you want.ā€
Damn, Mayumi-san also noticed… Without a thought, I accepted Sara-senpai’s ā€œah~nā€ in front of her mother. Sara-senpai approached feeding me so naturally that I just…
And not mother but sister? I’m not sure what that means…
——————————————
ā€œKazunari-san, who are you inviting?ā€
On the way home, Sara-senpai asked me about the last thing Mayumi said at the end.
ā€œThe car can still fit 2-3 more people, so if you want to take someone else with you, that’s fine.ā€
That was the last thing Mayumi-san said.
Besides Sara-senpai and me…
If possible, I would like to be alone with Sara-senpai, but I think she would probably want to invite Natsumi-senpai too, because of what happened at the swimming pool.
If we invite Natsumi-senpai and act separately, would a partner for Natsumi-senpai be needed?
ā€œSara-senpai, do you want to invite Natsumi-senpai?ā€
ā€œHmm… to tell you the truth, I would like to ask her… butā€¦ā€
Sara-senpai looked at me and said.
ā€œBut, if it’s just the two of us.ā€
This may be a convenient fantasy for me right now.
But if she wanted to ask Natsumi-senpai too, I think it’s okay.
Also, it’s not that difficult to be alone with Sara-senpai, and there’s no point in holding back inviting her then…
ā€œSara-senpai, I’m alright with Natsumi coming along with us. If Sara-senpai wants to, then let’s invite her.ā€
ā€œButā€¦ā€
ā€œIn exchange, I would like some alone time in the future.ā€
I held Sara-senpai’s hand and conveyed my honest feelings.
She was surprised at the suddenness of my actions, but that quickly turned into a smile.
ā€œY-Yes!ā€
She nodded her head and agreed with those short words.
