No...... It's 45 seconds.

So the last question: where to wait for Imadegawa Chisaka today?

「……」

Narumi sat at his desk, tapping on the open notebook with the pen and drawing many place names written and drawn.

The laptop screen is lit up with Google Maps for Tokyo.

Go to a place, don't tell Imadegawa Chisaka the time and place, and wait for her to find him.

On the surface, it seems that he chose a place to confess to the girl.

In fact, it was Imadegawa Chisaka who went to find out where the location he had chosen.

So his thinking shouldn't be "where is the most romantic, the best place to confess?" , but it should be, "Where is most likely to be guessed by Imadegawa Chisaka."

[In view of the general environment,

The easiest option is to stand in front of Imadegawa's house and wait for the moment Imadegawa Chisaka steps out of the house.

But this is clearly stupid.

Narumi closed the notebook, involuntarily opened the browser, and put his hands on the keyboard.

Before typing, he suddenly woke up and stopped himself, "Ask netizens what to do?" stupid idea.

In his original mouth, "like" is equal to "sorry", so he said that he liked many girls, but it was the first time that he seriously considered confessing.

No matter where you meet with Imadegawa Chisaka today, even in front of the octopus balls stall, it is enough to have a sense of ceremony.

Difficult......

……

Drip~

While he was still frowning and thinking, the phone buzzed and rang.

「…… Chisaka-san?"

"Don't turn your phone off."

"Yes."

Both~all~

Imadegawa Chisaka called, but only said one word to him.

Narumi sat in a chair and looked at his phone in distraction.

At the end of August, the cicadas gradually become quieter, and only occasionally can they be heard when the sky is exceptionally sunny.

It wasn't hot, the sun was just right, and he suddenly looked away from his phone and looked at the sky outside the window.

Then he laughed to himself, bent down with laughter, clutched his stomach, and burst into tears.

"So I thought it was too complicated......

What Imadegawa Chisaka wants to say is not [choose a time and place, don't tell me, wait for me to pass.] Instead, I'll go to you. 】。

That's all.

……

……

"And that's the end?" In the garden of Imadegawa's house, Imadegawa Jin looked curiously at Imadegawa Chisaka, who put away his mobile phone, "I thought you would say a few more words, make a code or something."

"One sentence is enough." Imadegawa Chisaka responded nonchalantly and flipped through "The Third Freedom" spread out on his legs.

"It's so confident, so confident that I suspect you've already agreed on a time and place in advance." Imadegawa Jin originally thought it was a very interesting thing, but when she saw her daughter so determined, she felt bored again.

She wants to see Imadegawa Chisaka show the side of an ordinary girl, blushing, panicking, and always looking forward to what is coming.

Instead of sitting quietly on a swing and holding a political book and reading non-stop.

"Didn't Xiao Yu publish two light books? I remember it was very popular with people, so why didn't Chisaka watch that?"

"None

Let's talk."

"Tut-tut......" Imadegawa Jin smiled without saying a word, and went to sit down in a pavilion not far away, drinking tea and enjoying the flowers.

Imadegawa Chisaka read about four pages of the book, felt distraught, raised her head, and frowned at her extraordinarily leisurely mother, "Mother, have you finished today's official business?"

"It was dealt with as early as yesterday~ If you can't find Xiaoyou, your mother can also accompany you all day~"

"......" Imadegawa Chisaka sighed and got up from the swing, "I'm back in the study."

"Wouldn't you go out earlier and look for more of Xiaoyu?"

"Six o'clock at night is enough."

"If you don't see Xiaoyu and want to cry when you come back, you can come to your mother's room~" Imadegawa Jin waved at her with a girlish feeling and said with a smile.

「……」

……

Bite~

The red bean bread is baked.

Narumi puts on baking gloves and brings out the baking tray with red bean bread.

The bread is golden on the surface and baked just right.

Dinner is also ready, a variety of sushi, grilled eel, grilled steak, tamagoyaki ......

It looks like a fairly ordinary dish, but the ingredients are as fresh and high-quality as possible.

A round table is set up on the balcony and covered with tablecloths, and sushi, yakiniku, tamagoyaki, tempura, rice, and various side dishes are arranged......

On the flower stand, a basket of bread hangs, and a cold drink he has concocted.

At half past six, there was a burning sunset in the sky.

Under a red glow, the girl who was looking forward to it came as promised.
