Couples Get Excited Before a Trip.

July 29th.

At last, the day has come for Hatsune-san and me to go on our trip.

Today, we’re supposed to meet at a major terminal station in the city center.

From there, we plan to take an express train to the nearest station to the hot spring town.

With a Boston bag packed with my travel essentials, I head towards our meeting spot.

When I arrive at the station and exit through the indoor ticket gate, I spot Hatsune-san standing by a nearby pillar.

She’s dressed in a refreshing outfit: a sleeveless shirt paired with a long blue skirt, and sandals on her feet.

Next to her is a carry-on suitcase.

“Ah, Yakumo-kun! Good morning!”

As soon as Hatsune-san notices me, she waves her hand enthusiastically to greet me.

Since she’s wearing a sleeveless top, her underarms are naturally exposed.

…It seems like she’s excited for the trip, but isn’t she being a bit too unguarded?

“Good morning, Hatsune-san.”

I walk over to her and gently take her hand, which she had been waving around, and lower it.

“Wow, you’re bold this early in the morning?”

It seems like Hatsune-san’s impression is that I suddenly grabbed her hand without warning.

“If anything, I think you’re the bold one, Hatsune-san.”

“Huh…?”

Even after I let go of her hand, Hatsune-san still looks a bit puzzled.

“Hatsune-san… If you’re going to act like that, maybe you should reconsider wearing a sleeveless top.”

“Ah, I see.”

It seems that Hatsune-san has finally realized what she had been doing in front of everyone.

“I’ll be more careful from now on.”

Hatsune-san gives a shy smile, looking embarrassed.

Once again, my girlfriend is looking adorable today.

“But honestly, I think that outfit suits you, and I like it.”

“Hmm…”

As I find myself distracted by how cute her outfit is, Hatsune-san responds with a thoughtful murmur.

It’s neither a complaint nor a thank-you for me changing my stance after criticizing her outfit.

“You like me in this kind of outfit, but you want to keep me to yourself, don’t you?”

Hatsune-san, with a knowing look, comments with a hint of mischief.

“Yeah. To be honest…, I don’t really want anyone else seeing you like this…”

I pause there.

Now that I think about it, this could be kind of creepy, right?

I feel a slight unease as I watch Hatsune-san’s reaction.

“Y-You’re really good at making me blush, Yakumo-kun…”

Hatsune-san, contrary to my concerns, seemed somehow delighted.

Watching her, my already elevated mood about the trip soared even higher.

It appears that Hatsune-san shared this feeling as well.

“Still, it’s exciting to travel for the first time with a classmate, especially since you’re my boyfriend,” she said.

“Yeah, I’ve been looking forward to it too.”

“But wasn’t it tough explaining things to your parents, Yakumo-kun?”

“I told them I was going on a trip with friends, but I’m not sure how much they believe that…”

Hatsune-san was aware of my family knowing about her.

Miyuki even knows who I’m going with.

I shared these details with Hatsune-san.

“Well, that makes sense. By the way, did they say anything to you?”

“They told me to ‘exercise moderation and be discreet.'”

I figured my parents suspected who I was traveling with.

Still, their tacit approval might stem from their joy at me finally forming friendships after always being alone, or perhaps they believed I wouldn’t easily engage in such bold actions after never having had a girlfriend before.

“Ahaha…”

Hatsune-san let out an indescribable laugh as if she understood the situation.

Considering everything we’ve been through, the idea of “being discreet” feels a bit late.

However, I’ve always been cautious to avoid any mishaps, so if I’m thorough, I should be fine.

But am I setting the stage for things to happen between us during this trip?

Well, if asked whether I could really hold back while sharing a room together, I wouldn’t be so confident.

Lost in thought, I suddenly snapped back to reality.

How premature am I being right now?

“Shall we get going? If we stand around chatting too long, we’ll miss the train.”

I decided to stop thinking about unnecessary things and suggested this to Hatsune-san.

“Hmm? Sounds good, you naughty Yakumo-kun.”

“…”

It seems that Hatsune-san had seen right through what I was thinking.

I couldn’t say a word in response as I stood before her, watching her nod in understanding.

Anyway, Hatsune-san and I made our way toward the ticket gate for the express train that would take us directly to the nearest station to the hot spring town.
