61 – First outing?
“By the way, what are you going to do now, Kim? … ?”
Ayako asked me while drinking the ordered drink.
“First of all, there is no call that the student president is coming, so there is plenty of time, but how about that?”
“Can you call me Hozuki?”
“Oh, yes.”
“I was also in trouble because I don’t have a schedule, so would you mind hanging out with me?”
Ayako said with a grin.
“It suits you…… Yeah, that wouldn’t be too bad.”
As I muttered moderately, Ayako put on an expression as if she would jump around at any moment.
Surprisingly, Ayako’s cuteness must be that she looks so clumsy that she can’t hide her emotions.
“So what do you want to do?”
“Uhm, that’s right…… What should I do?”
Ayako seemed troubled by my question.
There is such a thing. Originally, life thinking about playing is the most enjoyable.
She can’t remember where she heard it, but……
Because it’s good to be able to worry.
She thinks it’s much more beneficial than a life that doesn’t even give you time to think.
Looking at Ayako, who was idly thinking over and over again, it seemed that she would inadvertently laugh.
It wasn’t that I was laughing at her, it was because the image of her Ayako itself felt like an ink-and-wash painting.
It is said that people feel happy when they see a good picture.
Because it felt just like that.
“Kim-kun, did you get anything on my face?”
“No, why?”
“Well, I feel a little embarrassed because you seem to be staring at me too much… ….”
Ayako replied with a shy expression.
…… I wonder if the other person was watching enough to notice.
“I didn’t mean anything different. I just wanted to be pretty…… ?”
“Cha, Cha-am! It’s embarrassing when you say things like that. That kind of thing is said only between people who have been promised marriage!”
“Sorry, I apologize if I offended you.”
“No offense…… Um, could you be careful in the future?”
“I will.”
She said so, but Ayako’s expression seemed to be happy inside.
I don’t know if it’s because I’m not used to being praised, or if I’m not used to hearing things like that.
“Actually, I went out on my own, but I was thinking about what to do.”
Ayako explained her circumstances.
To sum it up:
I didn’t bring an escort because I felt like I was being watched.
I wonder if Amelia felt this way too? She wanted to.
Ed was aware of the situation.
I came to the city, but since I had little experience doing this kind of thing, I was worried.
They just happened to see me, who was rumored to be at school, and started talking to me.
‘Hmm.’
Once I heard the circumstances, I seemed to understand. If it had been Ryunosuke, he would have kindly guided me around the downtown area in this situation and naturally became friends with him.
“Is there anything you want to try?”
“I see…” … It’s what I want to do…….”
Ayako was troubled. Of course.
If you don’t come to places like downtown often, she won’t have a good idea of what to do.
“If it was a summer festival or something, she wouldn’t have worried.”
Suddenly, out of nowhere, the story of a summer festival comes up.
‘Thinking about it, it’s about time for the summer festival to coincide with the vacation season.’
With less than two months left, I’ll have to think about this too.
“Surely so. There are many street vendors and there are many things to enjoy.”
“No, I don’t mean that. Rather, the summer festival is limited, so you can clearly plan what to do, but…… ”
“Is there?”
“Going out to the downtown means that you don’t know what to do first.”
“Can’t you just do what you want to do?”
“What if there are many things I want to do?”
“Today is not the only day…….”
As she said that, she looked at Ayako’s expression.
It looked pretty prudent.
I don’t think he’s reluctant to talk.
“It is true… ….”
As I said that, Ayako looked at me.

No way?
“Don’t just look at me, tell me clearly. Originally, you don’t know unless you convey it.”
“Ah, sure.”
Even so, Ayako still kept quiet.
To the point where I feel stuffy.
“So?”
After asking again, Ayako finally opened her mouth.
“It must have been a lot of trouble and I’m sorry, but…… If it’s okay, could you hang out with me?”
“I’ll hang out with you. Don’t look at me, you can call me whenever you need.”
“How could…… After all, you can call me a chivalry.”
“Is this enough to even come up with the word medical cooperation?”
Ayako answered me with a shy smile.
“It is righteous to give one’s time to others. It certainly won’t be easy.”
“It’s a comfortable standard, that’s it.”
I said that, but first I needed to know what Ayako wanted.
“Is there anything you thought you would like to do when outing came out?”
“Hmm…… Looking at clothes or going to karaoke? Ah! I also want to see a little play.”
“Clothes at clothing stores, songs at karaoke…… A play should be something like a musical, right?”
“Are things like Nohgaku and Kabuki difficult?”
“Hmm.”
The play Ayako thought of and the play I thought of were different from the beginning.
Should I look for it on my smartphone…….
“Wait a minute.”
“Yes.”
After a moment of understanding, I searched for a place that screens classic plays such as Nohgaku and Kabuki on my smartphone.
I checked and it wasn’t there right away.
The screening date is next weekend.
…… Hmm.
‘I wonder if this will be okay.’
I don’t know what’s going to happen next week, but if I make a promise, I might be disappointed.
After thinking about her for a while, frowning, Ayako said with an apologetic expression.
“As expected, it’s okay if it’s an unreasonable request. I know it’s hard to see…… “
“No, it’s okay. It’s not showing this week, but it says it will be showing next week, so let’s go next weekend.”
“Is that okay?”
Even with her words, Ayako’s expression seemed slightly amused.
You’d better think about the later.
“Yes. Let’s do something simple today. I might have to go somewhere in the middle…… “
“What a disappointing thing to say. Even now, I feel grateful that Kim hangs out with me.”
“I see.”
If you can be satisfied, there won’t be any problem. It’s still morning time, and Tsubasa is a little late, so it’s okay.
“Let’s go.”
“Yes!”
Ayako and I finished our drinks and got up.
***
I looked at clothes with Ayako. I didn’t expect this to take so long, but it took a lot longer than expected.
Besides the kimono and school uniform, he had hardly ever worn any other everyday clothes, and it was because he kept changing after seeing one.
Perhaps they liked the outfits they chose, and vomited the spirit of buying all of them.
After Ayako sat on her bench and said that the food sold on the street looked delicious while carrying paper bags from clothing stores in her hands, I hurriedly bought her snacks.
I bought Takoyaki and Ramune.
I handed one of each to Ayako.
“Whoa…… Is this what Ramune is?”
Ayako said that she was seeing Ramune for the first time.
She seems to remember how many times she’s seen takoyaki, and as if she’s used to it, she pokes one with a toothpick and puts it in her mouth and says, “Hmm, hmm…” … ‘ I was slowly savoring the taste while making the same sound.
Then she picked up a bottle to drink ramune, but she didn’t know how to drink it, so she kept shaking the bottle.
“Can you give me a second?”
“Do you know how to drink it, Mr. Kim?”
“If I didn’t know, I would have bought it…… Well, take a good look. This is how you drink Ramune.”
I pushed the cap of the Ramune bottle lightly with my finger.
Then, the beads popped out of the mouth of the bottle! And fell
“Now, drink it.”
“Oh…… I usually only drink green tea or oolong tea.”
“I live a healthy life.”
“I’ll make sure to drink well, Mr. Kim.”
Ayako took the lemon ramune I gave her and drank it.
As she took a sip of the ramune, Ayako slightly squinted her eyes and said, ‘Ugh…’ … ‘ He let out a similar groan.
“Wow, it tastes strange! I feel tingling…… “
“Soda is like that.”
“I am used to things like yokan in bitter green tea, but carbonic acid is definitely a strange feeling.”
Ayako said, waving a bottle of Ramune.
Torororok, jjagrak.
The beads hit the bottle and made a clear and elegant sound.
“It’s an interesting structure, like the tone of an instrument. This drink called Ramune.”
“Haven’t you ever drank soda in your life, Hozuki?”
“Eh again…… Well, I guess so.”
My God.
Shock Horror!
There is a person who has never tasted ramune in his life!?
It seems that you have to be careful about the behavior of a foster family member. I couldn’t even drink a drink that would be called such a simple favorite food.
“I thought a lot about what to do on my own…… Kim, I thought it was fortunate that I met you.”
“Huh? What??”
“If you haven’t heard…… That’s Okay.”

No, I really didn’t hear that! It’s really embarrassing!!
