The case where I was gradually getting buried in the heavy love of my childhood friend who had miraculously recovered from their illness was perfect! - Chapter 64 : Outing!

Chapter 64 : Outing!

“Rion”

“What is it?”

“Ah….”

A mysterious dream… What is a dream, anyway?

In the midst of a sensation where even I don’t know what is what, I called Rion’s name while still feeling a bit sleepy, but I couldn’t squeeze out the words that followed.

Today… is really strange from the morning.

“You have been behaving weird since this morning, what happened?”

And it seems that Rion is well aware of it too.

If it were just my arbitrary assumption, that would have been fine, but if Rion says so, then I’m definitely strange today.

“I wonder about it. I woke up later than usual today. Did I make a weird sleeping face, perhaps?”

“No?”

She had a really cute sleeping face though?

“Well, it doesn’t seem to be something like that. I won’t say your usual expression is silly, but… well, that absent-minded look might be a bit silly.”

“Thanks, Rion. Your words help me stay normal.”

Being called silly by Rion strangely makes me more alert. I’ve said it many times, but I’m not an M or anything… not really, but maybe being insulted by Rion every few days keeps me true to myself.

“Uh, can you stop making that face? It’s… well, it’s genuinely creepy to hear you happily react to my insults about me. Like, seriously creepy.”

Alright, I get it. I’ll stop, so please don’t say anything more!

She seemed genuinely put off… but, tightening up is true when Rion says so.

In the first place, although Rion’s expression was serious, it didn’t seem like she was entirely serious. It seems she’ll continue to use strong words with me in the future… I’m relieved.

‘Is something strange, though?’

While tilting my head in wonder, I decided not to think about complicated things.

Today, breakfast is already over, and just like yesterday, we have free, leisurely time.

Both Rion and I spend time as we please, yet neither of us moves away from the living room. We remain in a space where we can share the same air, as if it’s natural.

“Hey, Rion.”

“Yes?”

“…Shall we go out?”

“Sure.”

So, even though it was sudden, we decided to go out.

Yesterday, except for evening shopping, we stayed at home. Since it’s a consecutive holiday, it wouldn’t hurt to spend some time outside.

We planned to have lunch outside, so after making sure I didn’t forget my wallet, we headed outside.

“It’s nice weather.”

It was a sunny day without a single cloud, making it a perfect weather for going out.

“Sorry for keeping you waiting… hehe, it’s such nice weather.”

Rion, who came out a little later, also commented on the sky while gazing at it.

Today, Rion is dressed casually in seasonal clothes. She is also wearing the beret I gave her as a present, she is really cherishing it.

“Let’s go then.”

“Sure thing.”

What to do, where to go, we have no plans. Still, we started walking.

Yesterday, it was in the evening, so it wasn’t crowded, but since we live in a town that has touristy places, it’s likely that there will be many people, especially during the extended holiday.

“Well, we’re in the city now.”

“There are so many people.”

As expected, the city is overflowing with people.

Not only Japanese but also foreigners are quite numerous, truly fitting for a long holiday.

Because of the crowd, there’s a possibility of easily bumping into someone, so to avoid any danger for Rion… I hold her hand to make sure we don’t get separated.

“Hehe, thank you, Nagi-kun.”

“That’s fine.”

“Of course, it’s natural to be happy about this, but there’s a better way.”

“Huh?”

A better way?

As I wondered about that, Rion let go of the hand she was holding and tightly embraced my arm against her chest.

Rion smiled as she gently pressed her fluffy softness that came through her clothes.

“If it’s like this, you won’t easily be able to leave. My strength may be weak, but when we’re like this, I feel like I won’t let go of you no matter what.”

“Th-that’s… I see.”

Rion is able to say such things with an indifferent demeanor, I sighed. I continued walking with Rion, now with her arms around mine.

As it was a long holiday, there were unusual stalls set up, and there were also simple attractions for small children.

“Crowds are always noisy, but today is special, isn’t it?”

“Yeah… It’s a different scene from usual, so just walking feels fresh.”

“Yeah, look at that, Nagi-kun.”

“Huh?”

Rion pointed her finger, and there was a large panel set up.

It was related to an event by Saijo-san scheduled for tomorrow, and even though it was the day before, people who seemed to be her fans were taking photos eagerly.

“It’s incredibly popular.”

“She often gets TV coverage and appears on shows, especially during the summer. She’s really something, even though we’re the same age.”

A classmate from the same school is a celebrity… Perhaps because she’s been getting along so naturally with Saijo-san recently, I almost forgot that she’s an incredibly famous person.

But she’s a bit of an oddball seeking a prince inside, despite being such a famous person. Life is unpredictable.

“But, Rion, you’re not an exception to attracting attention, right?”

“…It seems so.”

Not everyone here, of course. But still, Rion, with her exceptionally well-arranged appearance, receives a fair share of glances.

It feels like both men and women are attracted to her, fitting for someone like Rion. But after looking at Rion, being looked at with eyes that seem to say, “Why is someone like him here?” doesn’t bother me much.

“Even people who shouldn’t be around here usually turn their eyes towards you… It’s not a particularly good feeling.”

“Oh, I guess my appearance is excellent! But Rion doesn’t become like that.”

“I won’t. I’m just satisfied when people close to me praise my appearance or anything else.”

I see… By the way, while talking to Rion like this, a few people tried to approach us, but I blocked them all.

She thanked me each time, but it’s only natural as childhood friends… If she’s walking next to me like this, I want her to feel safe in any situation.

“Now, let’s enjoy ourselves, Nagi-kun.”

“Alright.”

When we were about to leave the area, what caught my eye was Saijo-san’s panel.

Of course, the panel was large, and her voluptuousness was vividly reproduced. It was inevitable that Rion poked me when she saw me staring at it.
