A month later, Rin and Ena had settled into a relationship. Rin was not as romantic as Ena expected, which bothered her a lot, but Ena did not demand much from Rin either. Despite everything, they enjoyed each other's company and love for each other.
- Rin, you should be more romantic. Haven't you read enough love stories when camping?
- We don't need to follow scripts, Ena. We have to follow our own path.
Ena smiled.
- By the way, Rin. Chikuwa is now our little son now.
Rin, following the joke, got scared.
- Wait what?! I'm not ready to be a mother.
Ena took Chikuwa in her arms and started talking to Rin as if she were her own mother with a big smile.
-How is my little Chikuwa today? I hope your mom Rin hasn't given you so much trouble.
- In fact, Chikuwa and I are conspiring against you. He says you don't walk him enough, don't you, Chikuwa?
Chikuwa allowed himself to be caressed and looked at both of them with curious eyes. Again, Rin was reproached by Ena for not being very romantic.
- Rin, I need more romance in our relationship. Where are the romantic gestures, the statements and poems?
- I don't understand why we would need all that. Aren't we happy without so much romance?
Ella sighed theatrically.
- Oh, Rin, you are so insensitive sometimes. Your girlfriend wants you to be more romantic. Where are the stolen kisses and the gifts? Chikuwa can feel it, right my little one?
As if agreeing with Ena, Chikuwa gave a playful bark at Rin.
- Hey! We're supposed to be in this together!
Rin reproached Chikuwa.
Afterwards, they left hand in hand to Caribou. The reason? Rin wanted to spend the anniversary at camp. In order to take Chikuwa, she made sure it was somewhere less cold than usual.
- It will be a different anniversary, right? With Chikuwa accompanying us, our first month together…
Ena smiled at Rin's statement.
- It will be. I can't wait to see what the future holds for us together.
