      Episode 169: Have a Good Trip Cover
      by akacha While Sara-san was in the bath, I opened the closet to pull out the spare futon and laid it down next to my bed. Honestly, I wanted to sleep on the floor and have Sara-san sleep in the bed... but I knew if I said that, she’d definitely turn me down. 「Sorry to keep you waiting.」 Sara-san, emerging from the dressing room, looked a bit surprised. I’d heard the noise earlier, so it seemed like she made good use of the things I’d prepared. 「Um... Kazunari-san, that hair dryer…

      Episode 168: The Day Before the School Trip Cover
      by akacha 「Thanks for the meal.」 「You're very welcome. I hope it was to your liking.」 I’d finished the dinner Sara-san made for me. Sara-san is going on her school trip starting tomorrow, so I won't be able to eat her cooking or her homemade lunches for a whole week... Basically, this was my final meal for a while. Maybe that's why dinner tonight was my favorite: Hamburg steak. But it wasn't just about the food. I’d known this was coming, but I won't be able to see Sara-san for an…

      Episode 167: Sara’s Papa & Mama POV Cover
      by akacha 「Well then, thanks for keeping me company today. I'll be in touch.」 「Yes, thank you as well. I'll be looking forward to it.」 The car had arrived at the station, which was where I was getting out. He offered to drive me all the way home, but of course, I turned him down. I couldn't risk Sara-san seeing me by any chance. In the end, I decided to accept Satsukawa-san's kindness. Part of it was having no other choice, but filing paperwork would be a huge help physically. More importantly,…

      Episode 166: Reunion Cover
      by akacha It happened suddenly, just as I was starting to feel anxious with less than two weeks until Sara-san’s school trip. Today was the day the new job magazines came out, so I stopped by the convenience store right after school to grab one. 「Thank you very much~!」 I still felt slightly guilty being told that without buying anything... but the job magazine was more important right now. I’d called a few places before just to test my luck, but as expected, I was rejected over the phone before…

      Episode 165: A One-of-a-Kind Item Cover
      by akacha I entered a shop that primarily dealt in accessories, and right now, I was holding one specific item and staring at it. A locket pendant... I'm not very familiar with accessories, but even I know what a locket is. Based on what Hayato said, the options I’d come up with were either this locket pendant or a music box. I thought a locket would be better since she could wear it, but as I stared at it wishing for just one more「something,」a clerk approached me. To be honest, since I wasn't…

      Episode 164: A Gift to Remember Cover
      by akacha 「I'm looking forward to working with you!」 「Me too. If there's anything you don't understand, feel free to ask.」 Todo-san's grandfather was exactly as he looked: a kind-hearted man. I felt like I could work here with peace of mind. And so, my part-time job officially began today. Although, calling it a job might be a stretch since it's only two hours a day. When I'd stopped by for an interview... or rather, a formal greeting... it had caused a bit of a scene. 「To think…

      Episode 163: Toward Sara-san’s Birthday Cover
      by akacha 「Thank you very much~!」 Even though I left the store without buying a single thing, being told that makes me feel slightly guilty. As for why I went into the convenience store, the free job magazine currently gripped in my hand is the answer. I can't let Sara-san see this, so I'm going to read it here in the park and then head home once I'm done. The problem is... whether I can actually find a job. If it were just a normal part-time job, it wouldn't be a big deal, but there are a few…

      Episode 162: Hanako-san POV Cover
      by akacha 「Morning, Riko.」 「Morning, Mom.」 Once I finished getting ready for school and headed to the kitchen, my mom was already preparing breakfast. It’s a daily scene, but lately I’ve felt like I should be doing my part too, so I jumped in to help. By the way, I’ve started helping with dinner prep lately as well. I can only make simple things so far, but I want to be able to do at least a little more. The reason I started thinking this way was after I met Satsukawa-san. Apparently,…

      Episode 161: Sara-san and Hanako-san’s Secret Cover
      by akacha The talk with Hayato finished in about an hour, so I sent Sara-san a message saying I was on my way back. Since she was waiting at home, I hurried back, but... 「Welcome home, Kazunari-san.」 When I opened the door, Sara-san was right there, greeting me immediately. Did she wait near the entrance ever since that message? If so, I feel bad... 「Sorry Sara-san, did you...」 「Kazunari-san, welcome home?」 「...I'm home, Sara-san.」 「Yes!」 My guess that she was…

      Episode 160: Love and Admiration Cover
      by akacha 「Good morning, Kazunari-san.」 I woke up to find Sara-san sitting next to my bed for some reason. Her left hand was on my head, and her right hand was holding mine. Um, did something happen? I was a bit curious, but looking at Sara-san's smile, I realized there was no need to worry. 「Good morning, Sara-san.」 「Yes, breakfast is almost ready, so please go wash your face.」 Sara-san let go of my hand, looking a bit reluctant. She went back to finishing the meal, so I thought…
