A Childhood Friend, Reunited After 10 Years Acts Deredere With Me - Chapter 61

One day after Alice gave me the best Valentine’s Day and the exams were over and school life was temporarily over, we were called to school. It is more correct to say that our class was summoned to the school.

“Graduation trip…”

I muttered to myself. As for the university entrance exam, Alice and I were admitted to the same national university.

Alice said, “I hate not being able to go to the same university as Sora, but I hate causing trouble for Sora even more! So, she passed the center exam without any problems. She passed the center exam without a hitch, and the second exam was also good. Now all we can do is wait and pray until the day the results are announced.

“So, the top couple in our class! Any opinions?”

Shunya, who was in charge of the front of the room, asked us, and we looked at each other and smiled a little.

“You can flirt later! Where are we going on our graduation trip now!”

While I’m thinking about it, Alice makes a proposal first.

“I’m thinking of Kyoto…I don’t want to sound like I’m bragging, but…I’m a returnee…I want to see some of Japan’s cultural treasures…”

Alice blushes and says shyly. That face made Shunya feel as if his heart had been struck.

“Aoh… precious… that hurts!!”

Shunya, who was stepped on by Shiina next to him, rolled into the classroom, and Shiina asked me a question.

“Sora? Is there anywhere you want to go?”

“Osaka… no, there’s nothing there.”

I was going to suggest that because Osaka has a university, but Kouren is in Osaka, so I decided to leave it.

“Oh? So Kyoto is settled then? Any other opinions?”

………

……

…

The majority vote was for Kyoto, and Alice and I were on our way home. The sun was already setting early, and even though it was only five o’clock, we could see the sky turning red in the evening.

“Ooohh! It’s so beautiful!

I replied to Alice, who was excited like a child, with a protective smile on my face.

“I guess so.”

“Mu… I thought you would have replied with, “You’re beautiful too, Alice.””

Was she a little sulky? I thought she was a little sulky, but she would occasionally glance at me expectantly.

“My Alice is the cutest girl in the universe. What do I have to say about that undeniable fact?”

“…Sora… sometimes you say things like that that make my heart skip a beat.”

“Alice-chan is in the mood for some pampering, so we’re going to leave now. Is that alright with you?”

“I want to hug you right now, but I’m trying very hard to hold back, so may I do as I usually do when I get home?”

“Yes, no problem at all.”

“I also have no problem with that at all.”

With these words, we walked home.
