A few months have passed since that day. I was a third-year in high school and studying for the entrance exam. Then Karen became a second-year in high school and the head of the literature club. However, none of the new members came in, so I ended up with just Karen.
「Are you making progress in your exam studies, Senpai?」
「Well, slowly, slowly. Karen, are you making any progress on the club journal?」
「Of course I am. I would say that this novel about my first experience with Senpai is the best of the best.」
「Eh, you’re writing about that time!?」
「Yes, because for me that time was a really wonderful moment. Wasn’t it Senpai?」
「N–No, that’s
 It was really good, though.」
「Fufu, that’s right. Well, I really don’t intend to put that in the club magazine.」
「W–What the hell
 You scared the hell out of me.」
「Surprised Senpai is really cute. Oh, yeah, let’s go on another trip somewhere after the exams are over.」
「
Right.」
After the hot spring trip, Mai never appeared in front of us again. Rumor has it that she is still hospitalized, but her former brightness has completely disappeared.
And although Natsuki was discharged from the hospital, the shock of having his thing cut off was too much for him, and he dropped out without ever going to school after being discharged. And now he’s a shut-in at home. To be honest, I can’t help but think, he deserved it.
As for the incident, somehow it was never revealed that Karen was the culprit. I didn’t quite understand how they didn’t find out, but I still haven’t asked that because I didn’t think it was necessary to ask.
「Do you think back on the incident?」
「
Well, yeah. I have to admit that I have a fear that Karen will be caught.」
「You don’t need to worry about that. But if I were caught, would Senpai wait for me to come out?」
「Of course. I’ve already decided to stay with Karen forever.」
「I’m glad you said that. Gyuu— I’ll give you a hug.」
「Owaah!?」
Although I was taken aback by Karen’s hug, I hugged her back as well. Ahh, I still feel at home when I do this. For me, Karen’s presence is really indispensable.
「Don’t cheat on your wife in college.」
「I wouldn’t do that, not with Karen around.」
「Fufuh, that’s about right. Besides, if I cheat on you, I might have to ask you to hurt me a little.」
「That sounds too convincing and scary
」
「But I know my Senpai won’t do that. Let’s stay together from now on.」
「
Yeah.」
And we hugged and kissed each other. A kiss with a vow that we will always be together.
(The End.)
