“I really wanted to do this with you,” she added.

“Gah?!”

“It just had to be today, seeing as it’s our... first ever after-school date and all,” she explained.

“I-I get it! You don’t have to keep talking!” he frantically begged her to stop.

“He-he-he. Now that’s what I call a one-hit kill!” she exclaimed, her eyes exuding arrogance.

A one-hit kill? What is she even talking about, he contemplated. Does that mean that she was being serious when she said that? Thinking back on it, it did feel like we took a detour onto a road that had virtually no people in sight. Did she bring me here with the intention of getting to hold hands right from the very start? Wait. It could also be that this is all a part of her plan to confuse me and get me to have false expectations, he mulled over.

This is bad. I can’t tell what’s real and what isn’t anymore, he continued. The only thing that was, in fact, real was the sensation transmitted to him from the palm of his hand. It was his first time ever touching a girl’s hand. It was soft and warm, and it was enough to send a saccharine shock running through his body. It was an exceptionally blissful feeling, one that he’d never experienced before.

“Ready to admit defeat?” she asked.

“That’s just... unfair,” he said defeatedly. It’s truly unfair how cute my girlfriend, Shiramori, is.

Kasumi casually let go of his hand after they left the empty road and were getting closer to the station. Soukichi, however, couldn’t tell if it was because she considered the risk of coming across an acquaintance on their way there, or that she was simply too embarrassed to hold hands with him around strangers. Nevertheless, while Soukichi felt some sadness when she let go, he was genuinely more relieved than anything.

Holding hands with the person I like is just too intense for a romance newbie like me, he thought. I felt my HP rapidly dwindling down the more time we spent doing it, like I was trudging my way through a poisoned lake in some video game level or something.

“How about we stop by a bookstore?” she proposed.

“Sounds good to me,” he replied. After they’d settled on their next destination in less than two seconds, they left Soukichi’s bike at the bicycle parking inside the station, then headed into the bookstore located in the station building.

Bookworms could easily be recognized in public if they fulfilled one simple criteria: going into a bookstore even if they didn’t have a particular book they were looking to purchase. Soukichi and Shiramori just so happened to meet said criteria, as they would tend to enter bookstores if they were strolling around town and wanted to kill some of their free time. It was quite fun for them to just look around the store without any specific purpose in mind, and, whether they left the store with a new book or not, they would go as far as to consider it time well-spent.
