Because the Miura Household was just a walking distance from our school, I extended my stay on the bus with Edel for another stop. To make sure that she wouldn't be alone in it for too long or… it’s just my excuse to be with her even just for a few minutes longer. Either way, it’s all worth it for my girl’s smile.
As I started traversing the path toward my destination, I sent a message to the girl, asking if she was ready.
Expecting a positive reply from the girl, I pocketed my phone back and hurried over.
As soon as I arrived there, I found somebody else outside the gate.
With her short hair that only reached just above her shoulder and glasses, Miura-senpai who was already in her school uniform had her hands in front of her, holding her school bag as she swayed gently.
Thinking that she was waiting for someone else, I approached her normally and greeted her with a smile, “Miura-senpai, good morning.”
