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…

The quiet of the night enveloped the residential neighborhood. Under the gentle glow of the moonlight, Haruto and Ayaka walked slowly, hand in hand. “The fireworks were so beautiful tonight,” Ayaka said with a smile. “Yeah, they were amazing. Were they always this spectacular? I kind of regret not paying attention to them before,” Haruto replied. Ayaka’s face lit up as she talked about the fireworks they had seen earlier. Haruto, too, seemed impressed, until Ayaka turned to him with a…

My mom and dad get along really well. Probably better than most couples out there. Having parents who are on good terms is amazing from a child’s perspective, but sometimes their lovey-dovey moments make me want to ask for a little restraint. Still, watching the two of them ever since I was little made me dream of finding someone special to fall in love with someday. Then we’d date, fall deeper in love, get married, and become a couple as close as my parents. Our family would grow, our home…

After looking around at the lively stalls on either side, Haruto lowered his gaze to his left arm. Since meeting up with Ayaka, his arm had been tightly embraced by her the entire time. "Ayaka? How about walking a little farther apart?" "No way, it's so crowded. We'll get separated!" Ayaka immediately rejected Haruto's suggestion, tightening her grip on his arm as she murmured. "Besides... other girls might start talking to you like earlier..." "That was only because Tomoya was with…
