Shuichi, his face slightly flushed from the alcohol, savored the snacks Haruto had prepared. Feeling pleased by Shuichi’s reaction, Haruto sliced an onion and submerged it in a bowl of water. "By the way, Haruto, did you enjoy today’s date?" Shuichi asked. "Yes, I had a great time. It’s been a while since I visited an aquarium, but it was even more fun than I imagined," Haruto replied. "That’s good to hear. Ayaka must have enjoyed it too, right? She’s always loved aquariums since she was…-

Haruto sat at the desk in Ryota’s rented room, staring at his study guide. Studying before bed had become a nightly habit for him. For a while, he focused on solving problems, but eventually, his pen stopped, and his gaze drifted absentmindedly to the ceiling. In his mind, Ayaka’s smile—which he had seen countless times throughout the day—floated vividly. "She’s so cute..." Thinking back to today’s date, he murmured quietly. Since starting his relationship with Ayaka, Haruto had…

“Mmm~ salmon really is delicious!” Ayaka took a bite of the seafood bowl that Haruto had shared with her, her face lighting up with happiness as the flavors melted in her mouth. “You can have some tuna too.” “Really? Then I’ll have a bite!” Ayaka happily took a piece of tuna and smiled with a satisfied "Yum," clearly enjoying it. Watching her smile, Haruto took a bite of the fried mackerel fillet she had ordered. The crispy batter gave way to the tender mackerel, releasing…

The penguin walk, a popular event at the theme park Haruto and Ayaka were visiting, was in full swing. A large crowd had gathered along the path to watch the adorable penguins waddle along. “There are so many people,” Haruto noted. “Maybe it’ll be easier to see them from over there,” Ayaka suggested, pointing toward a less crowded area. Holding her hand firmly so they wouldn’t get separated in the crowd, Haruto led her to a spot with fewer people. “From here, we’ll get a good…

Rocking gently on the train for about an hour and a half. After a few transfers, Haruto and Ayaka finally arrived at their destination. “We’re here!” Looking at the arched entrance gate of the theme park, Ayaka exclaimed excitedly. Seeing her enthusiasm, Haruto gave her a warm smile. “You look so happy, Ayaka.” “I’ve always wanted to come here, but getting to come for the first time with you, Haruto, makes me really happy!” “I see. Then let’s make the most of today and…

The morning after the post-test karaoke outing, Haruto felt the soft rays of sunlight filtering through the curtains as he slowly opened his eyes. Having somewhat adjusted to life in the Tōjō household since the start of summer break, Haruto stretched, got out of bed, and left his room. After washing his face and brushing his teeth at the first-floor sink, he returned to his room to begin his usual morning study session. The Tōjō household was still wrapped in silence, with no one else awake. The…

On their way home from the karaoke parlor, Haruto and Ayaka walked leisurely, their shadows stretching longer than they had during summer vacation. "Karaoke was fun, wasn’t it?" "It was. Ayaka, your singing was amazing." Haruto nodded in agreement with Ayaka's words and complimented her, making her blush lightly and smile shyly. There had been a minor incident earlier when Ayaka accidentally let slip that they had played the Pocky Game, leading Saki and Shizuku to tease them relentlessly.…

Haruto’s singing echoed throughout the karaoke room. Is this what people mean when they say their ears feel blessed? The enka song he was singing was a famous one—I’d heard it a few times on TV music programs. The lyrics portrayed a bittersweet yet fiery love story. When I imagined Haruto singing those lyrics as if they were directed at me, I felt a warmth bubbling up from deep within, an indescribable mix of emotions that made my heart race. I wished I could listen to his singing…

After thoroughly teasing Haruto and Ayaka about Ryota’s “Wedding Fund Piggy Bank,” Tomoya and the others said their goodbyes to Ikue and Kiyoko before leaving. Since there was still time before dinner, Haruto and Ayaka returned to her room and decided to study until the meal was ready. "Ugh... that was so embarrassing..." As soon as they got back, Ayaka collapsed onto the table, burying her face in her arms with a loud sigh. "Ryota's piggy bank is probably going to be the topic of jokes…

Having greeted Ikue, Tomoya and the others headed straight to Ayaka's room. "Wow, I’d heard from Aizawa-san before coming here, but Ayaka’s house really is a mansion," Tomoya remarked. "I’m confident I could live in just the hallway of this house," Shizuku added. "Ah, I thought the same," Tomoya nodded in agreement, recalling the grandeur of the corridor stretching out from the entrance. As they climbed the stairs, Tomoya and Shizuku continued their banter, prompting Saki to speak up…
