Saturday afternoon. Haruto and Ayaka were in her room, surrounded by reference books, engrossed in their studies for the upcoming test. The sound of their pens scratching against the paper echoed softly in Ayaka’s room, as both focused intensely on their work. Glancing up from her notebook, Ayaka checked the clock hanging on the wall. "They should be here soon, right?" "Probably. Tomoya messaged me earlier saying they’ve met up, so it won’t be long," Haruto replied, briefly checking…-

On the way home from school. The residential streets had grown quieter compared to the height of summer, with the cicadas' cries beginning to subside. Haruto, Ayaka, and Shizuku walked side by side. "Hey, Ayaka-senpai? If you don’t proclaim your love for Haruto-senpai, I might just hug him again!" Walking on Haruto’s right, Shizuku teased Ayaka with an exaggerated gesture, pretending to wrap her arms around him. Ayaka, her ears still red from embarrassment, glared at Shizuku with teary eyes…

After leaving the school grounds and walking for a short while, Shizuku stepped ahead of Haruto and the others, then turned to face them. Her expression was one of triumphant satisfaction. "Well, Haru-senpai, how about my flawless plan?" With her hands on her hips, Shizuku puffed out her chest proudly. "I'm impressed. As expected of you, Shizuku." "Hmm, praise me more!" "Of course, oh great Shizuku-sama." Although her face remained expressionless, Shizuku's mood seemed noticeably elevated…

The late summer sun bathed the courtyard in its golden light. Sitting cross-legged on the grass under the shade of a tree, Haruto stared blankly at the lunchbox he’d brought with him. Watching Haruto’s lack of enthusiasm, Tomoya, seated next to him in the same position, spoke up. "Hey, Haru, are you okay? Summer heat getting to you? If you don’t want that fried chicken, I’ll take it." "Sure…" "Wait, really? You’re actually giving it to me? Don’t mind if I do." "Go…

I lay on my bed, recalling my earlier interaction with Haruto. My hand rested gently on my chest, trying to calm my racing heart. "Maybe I went a little overboard..." I muttered softly, reflecting on my actions. Originally, I had only intended to talk with him alone, but the moment I saw his face, I couldn't contain my emotions. The trigger for this? The events at school today. The sudden appearance of a girl—Dōjima-san—in our classroom. She seemed quite familiar with Haruto, leaving…

As Ayaka gently closed the door behind her, she casually stepped into the room. “You were studying, huh?” she said, glancing at the study materials spread across the desk. “Yeah, well, it’s part of my daily routine.” “Wow, as expected of you, Haruto. I need to follow your example—especially with tests coming up soon.” Ayaka’s expression turned slightly gloomy as she seemed to recall the upcoming midterm exams scheduled for next week. Haruto, noticing her demeanor, gave her a…

Having placed his belongings in Ryota's room, Haruto waited in the living room with Ryota until dinner was ready. Recently, Ryota had become engrossed in playing samurai duels. Holding a toy sword, Haruto faced off against Ryota, who stood ready with a determined expression. "Now then, Ryota-kun, let us duel with honor!" Haruto said, striking a dramatic pose. "Hehehe, big brother, did you know? I'm a master of the Niten Ichi-ryu" Ryota declared confidently, brandishing two toy swords in both…

When Haruto returned home, he began the final check of his belongings for moving into the Tōjō household. “Change of clothes, charger, study materials, and… alright, that should do it.” After confirming that he hadn’t forgotten anything in his Boston bag, Haruto slung his backpack over his shoulders, locked up his house, and headed for the Tōjō residence. By the way, his grandmother had gone to the Tōjōs’ around midday and was already working as their housekeeper. Grateful to…

The buzz about the school idol's fireworks date showed no signs of dying down, even the day after. During breaks, Ayaka was quickly surrounded by a crowd of female students. Haruto, who had yet again been unable to interact with her at school, faced the end of the day feeling dejected about his helplessness. However, recalling that it was Tuesday brought a slight smile to his face. From today, his grandmother would start working as a live-in housekeeper at the Tōjō residence. Haruto himself…

Monday, the day after Haruto and Ayaka watched the fireworks together. As Haruto entered the classroom with Tomoya as usual and took his seat, he noticed that the atmosphere in the room was more lively than normal. “Seems like there's quite a buzz around Tōjō-san,” Tomoya remarked, glancing toward the commotion. “Do you think they found out about me and Ayaka dating?” Haruto asked, lowering his voice so no one else could hear. “Nah, if that were the case, you’d have been bombarded…
