章 2236: Playful Banter, Serious Intentions

As I took the train towards my next destination, I used the time I sat in it to reply to my recent messages. Among them, I found this interesting conversation with Setsuna-nee.

"Oi, shameless guy. Are you busy?"

That's her opening text. Nothing but a question. And so, my reply was... "Yes. Do you need me for something Setsuna-nee-san?"

And she responded with, "You know what I need, brat. I've been waiting for your update."

"Update for what?" I replied. The only thing that was lined up between us was the promised date which I told her to take her time and decide at her own discretion. Although it has been a week since the camping trip, this was our first time talking again even though I communicate every day with Juri.

"Anything in particular."

I see. She didn't really have anything. She's just making conversation. Did she miss me, already? That can't be it, right? I probably haven't stopped running in her head especially if our last encounter was like that.
