~Third Chapter: Are You a 10 Years Old Girl?~
Ah…She's late! Where is she? It's 10:00 AM already but she's not here yet? People said a nice girl wouldn't be late in her date, right? Wait, Kiriya, wait. Be patience… You don't want to ruin this date, right? Calm down…
…still, the girl he's waiting for hasn't come. Poor Kiriya, he really hate to wait for someone without anything to be done.
But then she come. Again, poor for the boy. She didn't come alone. She brought someone with her, someone Kiriya knows pretty well.
"Aoi…san?"
"Ah, Etou-kun?" Aoi seems pretty cheerful. Well of course, having a date with Kahoko is something he wouldn't even dream about.
"What are you doing here? Practice?"
Kiriya's eyes widened.
What am I doing? What—?
"Aoi-san…oh! I know it! You accompanied Kahoko here, right? Well, you shouldn't bother too much."
"Accompany? Ah, no, no. I…I have a date with her."
The older boy's face blushed a bit while saying the last line.
Uh… wait. What was that? Etou-kun called Hino-san…
"Etou-kun, it's not polite to call Hino-san by her first name. You even didn't use –san."
In this state, the younger boy has been really confused.
What the hell happened here?
Thanks God, he kept his mind clear that he decided to ask the girl, the one who made this…correction, THESE chaos.
"So, Hino Kahoko, tell me what you're up to."
"Eh? What's up with Hino-san?"
"Ask her!"
"Etou-kun, don't be so rude."
"As if I care what you've said!"
"Etou-kun—!"
"Alright, alright! Stop fighting you guys!"
Losing her patience, she shouted out to the boys.
"Don't fight here! It's in front of the station. Look, people are watching us!"
Realized that they were watched, the 2 boys stop arguing each other.
"I'm so sorry that it happened to be like this. I have no choice. I promise to Kaji-kun that I'd go with him to the pleasure park, but I owe Etou-kun for teaching me a piece, so…"
She stopped. She looked down.
"Hino-san…"
"Kahoko…"
"…so why the hell are you two picking the same place and time? Ah, mou~ I really wanted to go to that park, but I also wanted to thanked Etou-kun, so…ah~ I—I can't decide!"
The two boys, who were think that probably the girl was crying…are now surprised. And laughed out loud.
"Hey, hey! What are you laughing at?"
"No, no, sorry, ahahaha…It's just…you… your way of thinking wasn't far from a 10 years old girl! Ahahaha…"
"Hino-san, sorry. You…ahaha…you're too cute."
"What? That's rude!"
Now they have stop laughing.
"Now, now. What should we do? Kaji-kun's entrance ticket are just valid until today, so…How is it, Etou-kun?"
"Why didn't you think about that yourself?"
"I can't! I owe you."
"And if I asked you to go with me now? and left Aoi-san?"
"I can't too!"
"Greedy."
"Etou-kun! You're so rude!"
"Why don't you tell me back then?"
"You speak as if you've given me a chance to."
"Now, now, you two. Hino-san and Etou-kun, why don't we think of another way that we could spend this day together?"
"We…"
The younger boy didn't expect his senpai would say such a thing. Well, from the beginning of hearing the real matter, he has found a way. But that way, really need that word. The word we.
"You're right, Kaji-kun. Hm~ What should we do?"
"Say, where did you two want to go?"
"Eh? To the newly established pleasure park."
"If I'm not mistaken…the Wonderland World Fantasy Park isn't it?"
"Ah, you know it too."
"Here you go."
Kiriya gave her a paper. For exact, an entrance ticket. Written there was the title of the place, Wonderland World Fantasy Park.
"Eh? This—"
"Actually, I don't know how I came with the exact same plan with Aoi-san in this date, but…shall it be."
"Etou-kun!"
"You've said that we should think of a way that we, means the three of us, could go together today, right, Aoi-san? Here I gave you my plan."
"Eh? But then, that's not a date!"
"Actually, going out with a girl whom you know has a boyfriend couldn't be a date, right?"
"But— oh, okay. Alright. We're going."
"Really? Come on, come on! Let's go!"
The girl grabbed their arms, tied them tightly with hers and start to walk down the street with a smile that could make those two boys' days.
