Chapter 13: Tracking

It wasn't bad, but it didn't exceed my expectations, either. That was the kind of impression the movie left me with.

I exited the movie theater, stretched, then nodded to myself.

Well, at least it was exactly like the trailer portrayed it, so I didn't feel like it was a waste of money. It got me emotionally involved and it did a good job at making me cry, so I felt like I got my money's worth one way or the other.

I'd recently started to take work more seriously, so my weekday visits to the movies had decreased, leaving only my weekends to immerse myself in film appreciation.

The sun had only just started to set when I went into the movie theater, but now, it was pitch black.

"...I'm hungry."

It would be a hassle to cook at home now, so I came up with the idea of eating near the station and began to look around. Come to think of it, I didn't have a good idea of what kind of restaurants were nearby since I've only ever gone there to watch a movie and chase after Yoshida-sempai.

I was thinking about what I wanted to eat as I scanned the station for restaurants when somebody familiar caught my eye.

A young girl carrying a supermarket bag was walking in my direction. I'd never seen her in casual clothes before, but it was most definitely Sayu. She was looking downward slightly at first, but it wasn't long before she suddenly looked up and our eyes met.

"Oh."

I couldn't hear her voice, but I could tell by the shape of her mouth that she was making an exclamation of surprise.

Then, she scurried over to me.

"Good evening, Ms. Yuzuha!"

"Good evening! Are you out shopping?"

Her capri jeans and white tunic dress emphasized the neat impression she gave off. I wondered if Yoshida-sempai had bought her these clothes, but soon put that thought to the back of my mind. What did it matter if he did?

"Yep. The fridge was empty, so..."

She said with a bitter smile. It looked like doing Yoshida-sempai's chores was like second nature to her now. With her supermarket bag in hand, she somehow seemed perfectly suited for the task.

"It's really good of you to do all the housework every day."

"Nah... Not really."

She shrugged. It looked like my compliment made her feel uncomfortable. It didn't seem like she was just being modest, either; this was how she really felt. She was such a humble kid.

"What are you doing here, Ms. Yuzuha?"

"Oh, I just went to see a movie."

"You like movies?"

Now that she mentioned it, I recalled that we'd never talked about any of these kinds of things before, and in fact, we had barely even talked to each other. Yoshida-sempai was always on my mind, so I automatically thought about Sayu as well. I didn't know much about her as a person, though, and she didn't know me that well, either.

"I love them. I come to this theater pretty often, too."

"I see... So that's why."

For some reason, Sayu nodded over and over again, as if what I said cleared something up for her.
