// And...

<0375> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Well, something like that."

// \{Ryou} "Ah... wawa... n-no way... if you said so, I would have been quicker..."
<0377> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "I thought it'd be bad if I were in the way, so for once I decided to wait outside the classroom like this."
<0378> \{Ryou} ""
// \{Ryou} "N-no way... even though there's fortune telling, being with you is more important to me, \m{A}-kun!"
<0379> \{Ryou} ""
// \{Ryou} "Ah..."
<0380>
// Her eyes light up at the words she spoke out at random.
<0381>
// Fujibayashi closes her mouth, amazed and surprised that she would say such things.
<0382> \{Ryou} ""
// \{Ryou} "Ah... eh... um... just now... uh..."
<0383> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "T-thank you."
<0384> \{Ryou} ""
// \{Ryou} "N-not at all... because... it's the... truth..."
<0385>
// She hangs her blushing face with a slender voice.
<0386>
// After that, we both approach the gates.
<0387>
// We see the surrounding people see us.
<0388>
// Wonder if they see us as lovers?
<0389>
// Holding hands like this certainly makes us look as such but...
<0390>
// Well, even for a bit with this kind of situation, I don't think this makes us look like we're just friends.
<0391>
// ... speaking of which, does Fujibayashi know about the rumor...?
<0392> \{Ryou} ""
// \{Ryou} "... Is something wrong?"
<0393> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Eh?"
<0394> \{Ryou} ""
// \{Ryou} "Ah, uh, um... you're making a tense face there..."
<0395> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Ah... well, just thinking about stuff."
<0396> \{Ryou} ""
// \{Ryou} "Thinking about stuff... is it..."
<0397>
// Fujibayashi looks mysteriously at my face.
<0398>
// And then, also thinking to herself, she puts a finger to her mouth.
<0399>
// Her walking speed slows as she looks down at the ground.
<0400> \{Ryou} ""
// \{Ryou} "Ah... umm..."
<0401> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Hmm?"
<0402>
// Turning around to her call, Fujibayashi, who had a reddened face, looked at me with serious eyes.
<0403> \{Ryou} ""
// \{Ryou} "Um... I... I'm... \m{A}-kun's girlfriend..."
<0404> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Uh, yeah, and what about...?"
<0405> \{Ryou} ""
// \{Ryou} "So... um..."
<0406> \{Ryou} ""
// \{Ryou} "If... some problem came up... if something like that happened, we should both think about it together."
<0407> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "...?"
<0408>
// I suddenly stop my feet.
<0409>
// Fujibayashi also stops there, fidgeting her hands while blushing red.
<0410> \{Ryou} ""
// \{Ryou} "Ah... well... what I mean to say is..."
<0411> \{Ryou} ""
// \{Ryou} "I... if... something's bothering one of us... w-we shouldn't hold back and talk about it."
<0412> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Fujibayashi..."
<0413> \{Ryou} ""
// \{Ryou} "I-I'm sorry, but I don't mean to pry but..."
<0414> \{Ryou} ""
// \{Ryou} "But... um... we should be thinking with two heads rather than one, so we might find a solution... so..."
<0415> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "........."
<0416> \{Ryou} ""
// \{Ryou} "Ah... uu... umm... I'm sor..."
<0417>
// I place my hand on Fujibayashi's head.
<0418> \{Ryou} ""
// \{Ryou} "... eh...?"
<0419> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "... You're... not too bad of a person, are you?"
<0420>
// Saying that, I tap my palm on her head repeatedly.
<0421> \{Ryou} ""
// \{Ryou} "... ah... wawa..."
<0422> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Maybe you're too good for me."
<0423> \{Ryou} ""
// \{Ryou} "Eh..."
<0424>
// At that moment, her surprised face turns into a saddened one.
<0425> \{Ryou} ""
// \{Ryou} "Uh... umm... I think \m{A}-kun is a good person."
<0426> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "... I am?"
<0427> \{Ryou} ""
// \{Ryou} "You're very rough yet nice, and very blunt yet kind..."
<0428> \{Ryou} ""
// \{Ryou} "And think about other people's feelings before doing something."
<0429> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "... That's the first time I've ever heard that."
<0430> \{Ryou} ""
// \{Ryou} "Uh... um... what I mean is... um... you seem a lot like my sister."
<0431> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "... Something like that is not at all that shocking...?"*
<0432> \{Ryou} ""
// \{Ryou} "Eh...? Why is that?"
<0433> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Nah, don't worry about it."
<0434>
// I avoid the inquiry, turning my face away.
<0435> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Well, it's not like it really bothers me all that much."
<0436> \{Ryou} ""
// \{Ryou} "Is... that so."
<0437> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "........."
<0438> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Besides that, there's a lot of people who seem to know that we're going out, it seems."
<0439> \{Ryou} ""
// \{Ryou} "Eh... t-then... w-what should we do...?"
<0440> \{Ryou} ""
// \{Ryou} "Even though we didn't tell them..."
<0441> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Make an announcement?"
<0442> \{Ryou} ""
// \{Ryou} "N...! No way...! That's too embarrassing!"
<0443> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "R-really...?"
<0444> \{Ryou} ""
// \{Ryou} "B... because... if that happens... a lot of people are going to come and ask me questions!"
<0445> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "A lot of people are?"
<0446> \{Ryou} ""
// \{Ryou} "W-well... see... uu..."
<0447>
// She hangs her head, blushing.
<0448>
// Through her hair, you could see the heat coming from her ears.
<0449> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Haha, doing something like that would be quite weird."
<0450>
// Fujibayashi nods a number of times while I smile.
<0451>
// Yeah, there's no need to worry about rumors, and no need to push it by denying it.
<0452>
// Staying together like this with Fujibayashi, the rumors will end up being wrong, and instead become something else...
<0453>
// It'll end up becoming about me and Fujibayashi going out.
<0454>
// Forcefully denying it would make it look suspicious.
<0455>
// As we continued walking, we could hear some whispering around us.
<0456>
// And then, at the forked road...
<0457> \{Ryou} ""
// \{Ryou} "Uh, um... thank you so much for today."
<0458> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Eh? Thank me for...?"
<0459> \{Ryou} ""
// \{Ryou} "Um... for waiting for me all that time..."
<0460> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Don't worry about it. I was planning on coming home like this anyway."
<0461> \{Ryou} ""
// \{Ryou} "Even then, you waited for me."
<0462> \{Ryou} ""
// \{Ryou} "Doing that... um... made me happy somehow."
<0463> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Something like that?"
<0464> \{Ryou} ""
// \{Ryou} "Yes."
<0465> \{Ryou} ""
// \{Ryou} "W-well then... see you tomorrow..."
<0466>
// Fujibayashi bows her body down in a shy manner.
<0467> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "... Fujibayashi."
<0468> \{Ryou} ""
// \{Ryou} "Yes?"
<0469>
// She lifts her head up from me calling her.
<0470>
// And then I bring my face close to hers.
<0471>
// Our lips meet.
<0472> \{Ryou} ""
// \{Ryou} "........."
<0473>
// Fujibayashi's face becomes blank... as if to show she didn't know what just happened.
<0474>
// She looks at me like an idiot as I move away...
<0475>
// The next moment, her body shakes and she closes her mouth, as if she were struck by lightning.
<0476> \{Ryou} ""
// \{Ryou} "~~~..."
<0477>
// And, with a blushing face, she frantically looks around her.
<0478> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "It's okay, there's no one around."
<0479> \{Ryou} ""
// \{Ryou} "B-but... but... all of a sudden... in a place like this..."
<0480> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Was that a bad thing after all?"
<0481> \{Ryou} ""
// \{Ryou} "N... not really... uu... but... if someone saw us..."
<0482>
// Tears build up in her eyes as she looks around again, worried.
<0483> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "It isn't a problem. We're going out, right?"
<0484> \{Ryou} ""
// \{Ryou} "But... i-it's embarrassing......"
<0485> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "Then you don't want me to do it anymore?"
<0486> \{Ryou} ""
// \{Ryou} "No! I don't want that!"
<0487>
// At that moment, she becomes amazed at what she said.
<0488>
// And she stops her mouth again.
<0489> \{Ryou} ""
// \{Ryou} "Ah... um... just now... um... I... I..."
<0490> \{Ryou} ""
// \{Ryou} "T-the kiss... made me happy... happy... um... it does make me happy... but..."
<0491> \{Ryou} ""
// \{Ryou} "But... ah... uu~..."
<0492>
// With a face about to cry, she looks at me, then looks around her again, then looks at me.
<0493>
// I put my hand on Fujibayashi's head.
<0494> \{Ryou} ""
// \{Ryou} "Ah..."
<0495> \{\m{B}} ""
// \{\m{B}} "I'll take the place into consideration then next time."
<0496> \{Ryou} ""
// \{Ryou} "Ah... b-but... um... \m{A}-kun, if you feel like you want to do that no matter what... um... then anytime..."
<0497> \{Ryou} ""
// \{Ryou} "Ah, ah, but, but... it'd be a problem if people were around..."
<0498>
// Blushing red, her face makes a frantic expression as she says that.
