Recap: After having a hard time confessing to Shiho, Yuuta’s confidence somehow reaches its peak and confesses to Shiho. Good thing Shiho decides not to lie about her feelings and go for the truth and accepts his love. Yuuta still can’t figure out, how was he so bold while confessing? Now the question which arises before Yuuta is that, how to face Shiho? Well, I hope they get along soon!

            After school…

            All three of them are walking home together. There is an awkward silence between those three. Hiro starts thinking,

            ‘Is it just me or is there something between those two?’

             And then Hiro says,

            “Come on you two! Why are you guys not talking? I know you’re dating and stuff but, at least talk to me! It feels so lone-”

            Just when Yuuta interrupts and says,

            “H-How do you know we are d-d-dating?!”

            Hiro looks at both and them and starts laughing. And says,

            “I knew it! It was quiet obvious because of how you guys were behaving all day!”

            Then Yuuta starts to recall and thinks,

            ‘Y-yeah… Hiro is right. All we did all day was just looking at each other and revert out eyes whenever we met our eyes. I think I should ask her out for a date! Isn’t that what normal couples do? Ahh, I’ll go with her on a date! Is this a dream?! Oh no, it’s reality! I still don’t believe I am dating her! Thank you God! Thank you for everyt-’

            Just when suddenly Hiro looks at Yuuta and winks and says,

            “Aww! Sorry guys, but I think I’m running late on my schedule today! So I’ll have get home early! Well, you two, have fun! I’ll see you tomorrow! Bye~”

            And, Hiro leaves.

            ‘Why did you have to do this to me Hiro?! Now it’s more awkward here!’

            Thinks Yuuta. And just when suddenly, our main girl, decides to make her first move!

            “I-Isn’t it cold today?”

            says Shiho.

            “H-Huh… Y-yeah! It surely is! Haha”

            replies Yuuta. Yuuta tries to keep the conversation going and says,

            “Hiro just ran off really fast. Must be in a hurry.”

            And starts laughing awkwardly. Shiho replies,

            “Y-yeah… Seems like he was late.”

            And the conversation ends. Yuuta starts thinking,

            ‘What was that?! Yuuta! You’ve got to talk with her! What do couples do?! Go on a date?! Yeah! They go on a date! You just have to ask her, if she is free tomorrow and if she can come with me on a date! You have got to ask her! You can do it Yuuta! YOU CAN DO I-’

            “-uuta? Yuuta… A-are you okay? You seemed like you were spacing out…”

            asks Shiho.

            “Yeah… yeah! I-I’m totally fine!”

            replies Yuuta. Yuuta turns on his cool mode and says,

            “Shiho!”

            “Y-y-yes?”

            “Are you free tomorrow by any chance?”

            “Hm?”

            “Good! Then if you are free tomorrow, would you like to go on a date with me?”

            Shiho blushes and looks down…

            “Shiho! Are you okay?”

            “Y-yes…”   

            “Then would you like to go on a date tomorrow?”

            “Y-y-yes…”

            “Okay! I’ll have to part way here! See you tomorrow at the station!”

            “Hm”

            “Later Shiho!~”

            “B-bye…”

            Shiho thinks,

            ‘Uwaaaa! He was so bold! He was so COOOOL!~ But I still couldn’t say it first! Well, I hope we have fun tomorrow on the date! I am so excited!~’

            And Shiho starts jumping on the spot. Just when Hiro comes in and says,

            “Someone’s really happy!~”

            and smug while looking at Shiho. Shiho stops jumping and replies while blushing,

            “Y-yeah… H-he asked me out on a d-d-date tomorrow…”

            “Woah! That’s really great! Hope you have a great time together tomorrow!”

            “But wait, why are you here?”

            “Oh, I was out to buy some groceries for tonight’s dinner. Then I saw you two talking but then Yuuta left and you started jumping and looked all excited so I thought let’s see what’s happening and I ended up meeting you.”

            “I see…”

            “Well, I’ll see you later! Or else I’ll be late! See you later!”

            “Hm! See you later!”

            Just when Hiro was leaving, he goes close to Shiho and tells her,

            “Yuuta is one of my two best friends I have with me. So please take good care of him! After all, he’s my best friend.”

            And leaves. Shiho looks at him leave and smiles and says to herself,

            “Surely Hiro. After all, I love him too.”

            and she leaves to her home. The next day, Yuuta is in front of the station waiting for Shiho to arrive.

            “It’s 10 minutes passed the time we decided to meet! Where is she?”

            Just when Shiho arrives in front of him and starts breathing heavily.

            “S-sorry Yuuta! I am late!”

            Yuuta starts thinking,

            ‘Oh! She looks so beautiful!~ Her dress looks so beautiful!~ In fact, she is so beautiful!~’

            And starts day dreaming while looking into the sky and start smiling like a weirdo. Just when Shiho looks at him and asks,

            “Are you okay Yuuta? Why are you looking at the sky while laughing in such a weird way? Do I look bad?”

            Yuuta is back to his senses and says,

            “N-no! You… You look just like a princess!”

            “Th-thank you…”

            “So, shall we leave?”

            “Y-yeah…”

            And they leave off!
