That was everything that’d led up to things being incredibly awkward between the two of us. It was completely my fault, and Takkun hadn’t done anything wrong. It was all on me. On top of everything, the timing couldn’t have been worse because the following day was the beginning of the Obon holiday. I had plans to visit my parents with Miu, which meant I would be physically distanced from my home, where the encounter rate with my neighbors was much higher.

“Do you have everything you need, Miu?”

“Yeah.”

Early in the morning, we packed everything we needed to stay over at my parents before getting into the car.

“You brought your summer homework, right?”

“I didn’t, but it’s fine.”

“How is it fine...? I don’t think you’ve done any of your homework yet.” I couldn’t help but voice my concerns as her parent.

I recalled seeing her take care of some work that Takkun had given her as her tutor, but it seemed like she’d barely made any progress on her homework from school. Is she really okay? We’re already halfway through summer break.

“I’ve made my own plan calculating backwards from the last day of break, so it’s fine. As long as I try after the Obon holiday, I’ve set things up so I’ll definitely finish in time. My math is sound.”

“If you can plan that much, why don’t you just finish it earlier?”

Why would you calculate backwards from the last day? You should know that your plan will completely fall apart if you get sick for even one day. Well, some of the authors I manage are like that too. They’re the type of people who don’t get motivated until they’re under pressure. Those kinds of people usually catch up with incredible speed after missing their first deadline—the one that won’t destroy the project to miss.

“Forget about me, are you sure you have everything, mom?

“Me? I’m fine. I made sure to bring my laptop too. Oh right, I meant to tell you, I might have a meeting this afternoon, so you’ll have to go with grandpa and—”

“Not that,” Miu said, interrupting me. “Aren’t you forgetting something mentally? Not physically.”

“Something mentally...?” I echoed, unsure of what she meant.

Miu then turned to look out the passenger’s side window. At the end of her gaze was our next door neighbors’ house—in other words, the Aterazawas’ home.

“Oh, it’s Taku,” she said suddenly.

I gasped and reflexively hid myself as best I could in the driver’s seat. I tried to curl up so my head couldn’t be seen from outside the car.

“Just kidding,” Miu said nonchalantly after several seconds had passed.

“Huh...? Y-You were kidding?”

“It does seem like you’re forgetting something quite big,” Miu said exasperatedly with a deep sigh.

Forgetting something mentally... I finally understood what she meant by that.

“Jeez, why did you hide?” she asked.

“Well... I-I don’t really have a reason. I just feel uncomfortable seeing him right now.”

I wasn’t trying to avoid him, but things were awkward... I wasn’t sure how I was going to face him. I needed to mentally prepare myself first, otherwise I wouldn’t know where to begin to explain things.
