章 2013: Doting on the two

Upon exiting the station, Umi and I continued walking hand-in-hand while Sumire kept glancing back at us from time to time.

She clearly wanted to return to my side and get the same treatment. However, she also had this stubborn bone in her that didn't want to admit being embarrassed.

Umi couldn't help but whisper at each other, discussing her friend's behavior. Just like she said, she'd never acted this way before.

But then again, it must have been because Sumire had never liked anyone before. Apparently, she never had a crush on someone. She's the athletic girl who loves to listen to music and has no time to care about boys.

Although she's great at socializing and has been pretty well-liked by her seniors, no one has yet to truly catch her fancy. Until she met me, I guess?

If there's one then it's her quick idolization of Yue a.k.a. Mabushisa Asahi who's also a girl like her.
