“You’re right. Let’s go,” Kasumi coincided.

Kasumi began walking, but not in the direction of the karaoke bar in front of the station. It was clear she was heading toward the train station itself.

“W-Wait, Shiramori? Where are you going? The karaoke bar is over there,” Soukichi asked.

“Oh, did I forget to mention that? We’re going to a different karaoke bar today,” Kasumi replied

“W-Why?” Soukichi remained puzzled.

“A lot of people from our school use that one. There’s a pretty high chance we’ll end up running into somebody, especially with it being the weekend,” Kasumi clarified.

“...If you were really so worried about that, then why did we meet up here? Shouldn’t we have met up at a less conspicuous location?”

“Well, maybe. But since we’re already going out today, I figured we’d pick a place a decent ways away. Today’s our first real date, after all.”

Soukichi could only nod in the wake of her dazzling smile. Soukichi had a feeling that their first date wasn’t going to be something as simple as heading to a karaoke bar. All of that time and effort he’d spent meticulously planning the date ahead might have been wasted now, but he still found himself excited for the day to come.

“Oh yeah,” Kasumi continued as they passed through the ticket gates. “What did you tell your folks when you left the house today?”

“I said I’d be hanging out with a friend,” Soukichi replied.

“Oh. So you’re hiding what we’re doing, then?” Kasumi asked.

“I felt like telling them the truth would only cause more problems than it’d solve,” Soukichi explained himself.

“I see... And they didn’t suspect anything was going on?”

“I don’t think my mom did, at least. She was actually pretty happy to hear that, in fact. She was talking about how I barely ever hung out with my friends, so this was nice to see.”

“Ahaha! Got it. Then you don’t hang out with Tokiya over the weekend or anything like that?”

“We’re only school friends,” Soukichi said.

“Your dynamic is pretty unique, I have to admit,” Kasumi quipped.

“My elder sister seemed a little suspicious. Her exact words were, ‘Wait, you’re hanging out with somebody?’”

“You saying that really did get a lot of interesting reactions, huh?”

“What about you, Shiramori? What’d you tell your parents?”

“I had the same excuse.”

“How did they respond?”

“They had the usual responses to that, so I don’t think they caught on to anything. My father never really gets involved in my private life anyway.”

“...I see,” Soukichi said.

The two engaged in idle chatter as they made their way toward their platform door. The two were planning to travel to Sendai on one of the trains on Kasumi’s recommendation.

“Do you ever visit Sendai, Kuroya?” Kasumi asked.

“I’ve been there once for a field trip during middle school. What about you?” Soukichi replied.

“I go there every now and then, I guess. Sometimes with friends, sometimes with my father,” Kasumi answered.

The train arrived soon after they reached their platform. The doors opened, and the two boarded for their destination. Fortunately for them, the train wasn’t too packed; they appeared to have picked the perfect time of day to leave for their date.
