The next day, a cool morning at 8 o'clock.
I was walking toward the academy while holding hands with Erika.
When Erika let out a slightly tired sigh, I peered at her face and asked.
"Are you all right?"
"I'm fine. I just got far too tense yesterday."
"…I suddenly thought about it. You didn't have to get that tense to negotiate with me, did you?"
"Haa… If I had been refused, all the preparations and arrangements would have gone to waste, you know? Of course I would negotiate with all my might."
I smiled wryly at Erika, who was looking at me with half-lidded eyes, wrapped one arm around her waist, and pulled her closer.
Her large melons jiggled with a purun and pressed against me; Erika looked up at me with a slightly surprised expression.
I gave her a light kiss that only touched her lips, then pulled away; her cheeks flushed red and she began pouting cutely.
"What are you doing on the way to the academy?!"
"Did you dislike it?"
