After Coincidentally Saving the New Transfer Student’s Little Sister, We Gradually Grew Closer - CH 41

The next morning, I arrived at the meeting place thirty minutes earlier .

Aki had a lonely expression whenever I made her wait for me.

And also, there are times when she gets frightened when guys try to pick on her.

That’s why I came early in advance, so that I wouldn’t have to keep Aki waiting.

“–I’m sorry, senpai. Good morning.”

About five minutes later, Aki appeared with a smile on her face.

Aki’s outfit was a combination of a white long-sleeved knit top and a gray miniskirt.

She also wore black knee socks and loafers.

Apparently, Aki seemed a little Adultish.

She liked cute clothes, and on top of that had a baby face, so she would normally wear cute clothes, but recently I had noticed a change in color.

It looked good, but I thought it was a little cheeky.

“Good morning Aki. You’re earlier than the promised time, what’s wrong?”

It was still about 25 minutes until the promised time.

Even if she left home early so as not to be late, it was still a little early.

“Moõ! Senpai always comes early, so I didn’t want to have you wait for me! In fact you are here already !”

She answered me with a dissatisfied look.

I thought it was typical of Aki to be considerate and arrive early so as not to keep me waiting .

She wasn’t really mad at me, and I was  sure she would be in a good mood soon.

“Thank you for that, but it’s still pretty early than we planned …”

“It’s okay, the sooner we come, the more time we have to play.”

“Well, we do have more time to play.”

“Yeah, think of it in a positive way……… Lately I’ve begun to wonder if senpai is doing it on purpose …”

I agreed with Aki’s words, but for some reason Aki was disappointed.

(Has Aki finally entered the rebellious period?)

I could sense the signs of rebellion in her eyes as she puffed her cheeks and stared at me disapprovingly.

“So, where do you want to go?”

“Well, I want to go to an amusement park today …”

When I asked her, she gave me a slightly unexpected response.

I had never been to an amusement park with Aki.

I thought she wasn’t interested in it, but I guess she just didn’t mention it and wanted to try it.

“Amusement park …”

“Is it a no go …?”

When I was reluctant, Aki looked at me with anxiety.

To tell the truth, I wanted to avoid amusement parks.

It’s not that I was not good at vehicles or I hated to wait in line for a long time.

The problem was the area where the amusement park was located.

Okayama prefecture, where we lived, was very inconvenient without a car.

It was no exaggeration to say that the existence of a car is indispensable in daily life.

Usually, there were cars driven by parents, so there was no problem in daily life, but if you were only a student, you would face problems.

That’s why I lived in a place where there are supermarkets and convenience stores nearby.

And unfortunately, the amusement park that Aki wanted to go to wasn’t around the area we lived in.

What’s more, a large amusement park, which was only accessible by train, collapsed a few years ago.

The only amusement park that came to mind was at a place where it would take about two hours or so to reach there.

And we would have to walk a long distance while switching trains.

There was a way to have Miyu-sensei take us, but I would have felt sorry for making her holiday waste upon us.

And after seeing the previous day’s reaction, I thought that she would definitely get angry if we asked her to play along with us.

(…… But Aki wants to go …….)

I went along with her invitations like this because Aki, who usually puts up with various things, expresses her wishes firmly only at such times.

In short, I was  playing with Aki for the purpose of giving her a short break.

So I wanted to do what she wants as much as possible.

If I decline it once, she may not be able to freely ask me anymore.

I wanted to avoid such a situation.

“… Okay, let’s go. It will take time to travel because we don’t have a car, but sometimes it’s good.”

“Yeah! Thank you!”

When agreed, Aki jumped happily.

I really thought that she was as childish as she looked.

――I bought a ticket with Aki who had a happy face beside me.
