“Daiki, how did the exams go?”

After the final exams had finally concluded, Toshiya approached me on a day when I had no part-time job and was thinking of heading to the clubroom.

“I think they are not too bad. How about you, Toshiya?”

“At least I didn’t fail anything.”

If Toshiya says so, it must be true. I never worry about his grades since he’s always ranked near the top.

“So, did you need something? You didn’t come just to ask about the exams, right?”

“You’re sharp, Daiki. Aren’t you off from your part-time job today?”

“Yeah.”

“I don’t have club activities either, so how about we talk about love for a change?”

We haven’t had much time to talk leisurely recently because I was busy with my part-time job and Toshiya’s club activities.

I thought his desire to talk about love stories had faded, but it seems that wasn’t the case.

“Sure, but should we move somewhere else?”

There were still quite a few people left in the classroom.

I felt that if we talked about love here, someone would inevitably overhear us.

If Toshiya and I talked about love, Seto-san would definitely have come up in the conversation.

And if it became known who the popular Toshiya likes, it would cause a commotion.

I want to avoid that somehow.

“Alright. Where should we go?”

“I know a good place.”

As I turned towards the familiar voice, there stood Ai-san.

“Ai-san? Why are you here?”

“Ai-san! Hello!”

“Toshiya-kun, that’s a nice greeting! And to answer Daiki-kun’s question, I had no student council or part-time job today, so I was bored and came here to play with Kei.”

“Oh? But today, Shimizu-san is…”

I looked at Shimizu-san’s seat, but as expected, Shimizu-san was no longer there.

“Right, I finally realized after looking at Kei’s seat that today was supposed to be Kei’s part-time job day. I totally forgot!”

Ai-san lightly tapped her own head and winked.

“So you found us talking next to Shimizu-san’s seat and decided to listen in?”

“That’s right!”

Ai-san pointed decisively at Toshiya.

“So, where is this good place you mentioned?”

“Muhahaha, it’s our very own Astronomy Club room!”

Indeed, the Astronomy Club room would be a place where we could talk until the end of the school day without worrying about others.

“Is it okay for me to intrude on the Astronomy Club room?”

“Of course! Toshiya-kun is a friend of Mio-chan and Daiki-kun!”

“Really? I’ve been interested for a while and would like to check it out!”

“Well said! Let’s go then! Follow me!”

“Yes!”

“Y-Yes.”

***

I grabbed my things and followed the two out of the classroom.

“So what’s today’s love talk topic, Toshiya-kun?”

A few minutes later, the three of us were in the Astronomy Club room.

According to Ai-san, Yousuke-san and Seto-san had part-time jobs today, so it seemed unlikely that anyone would suddenly come into the club room.

“The theme this time is definitely the kind of outfit you want to see your crush wear in the summer.”

“Outfit?”

“Yeah, as it gets hotter approaching summer, everyone’s clothing changes, right? Plus, there are many events in summer, and you get to see different outfits depending on the occasion.”

“Like swimsuits when going to the beach or pool, or yukatas when going to a festival!”

“That’s right! Out of all the summer attire, I want to hear about the outfits that would make you skip a heartbeat when worn by your crush.”

“That’s a great topic! As expected from the master of love talk!”

“Thank you very much!”

Toshiya and Ai-san high-fived.

Though they didn’t spend much time together, they seemed to have surprisingly good chemistry.

“So, have you thought of anything, Daiki?”

A summer outfit from my crush that makes my heart race… Even when I think about it, nothing comes to mind.

“Hmm, I can’t think of anything yet.”

“As for me, I want to see Seto-san in a yukata!”

I was speechless at Toshiya’s confession.

He had said before that he didn’t mind if people knew he liked Seto-san, but I didn’t expect him to say it so openly in front of Ai-san.

Ai-san smiled slyly upon hearing Toshiya’s words.

“Mio-chan in a yukata, huh? Toshiya-kun, you have good taste.”

“I really think Seto-san would look great in a yukata. Don’t you agree, Daiki?”

I imagined Seto-san in a yukata.

Indeed, it seemed to suit Seto-san’s cool image.

“Yeah, it might really suit Seto-san’s aura.”

“See, Daiki gets it! Girls in yukatas are just amazing!”

“Yeah. There’s something about the cool yet dignified look in the summer that’s nice.”

“Exactly! Daiki, you understand me!”

Toshiya seemed even more excited than usual, perhaps because it had been a while since we’d talked about love.

I glanced at Ai-san, who was fiddling with her smartphone.

“Ai-san? Is something wrong?”

“Oh, sorry. I was just taking some notes.”

“Notes?”

“I don’t often get to hear about love talk from the opposite sex, so I thought it might be good reference material.”

Indeed, I hadn’t talked much about love with the opposite sex until I started talking with Seto-san.

Even someone with a wide social circle like Ai-san must find it unusual to talk about love with the opposite sex.

“And listening to you two gave me a good idea!”

“What’s the idea?”

“Let’s all wear yukatas when we go to the summer festival during the camp!”

The plans for the summer camp were coming together, and we were scheduled to go to a summer festival on the second night of the camp.

“Does the Astronomy Club have someone who can dress people in yukatas?”

We couldn’t go in yukatas from the start, so we would need at least one person who knew how to dress in yukatas.

“Yousuke is handy, so I think he can do it! I’ll learn it before the training camp too! It’s definitely more fun if we all go in yukata!”

It seems that although it would mean more luggage, going to the summer festival in yukata isn’t impossible.

“I can’t believe Seto-san in a yukata would become a reality… Ahh, I want to see it too!”

“In that case, I’ll take a picture of Mio-chan in her yukata for you!”

“…really?!”

“Totally serious. I’m usually taking care of Mio-chan, after all. Leave that much to me!”

The conversation is moving forward without Seto-san, but I wonder if that’s okay.

If it’s Ai-san, she’ll probably explain it well to Seto-san.

“Thank you so much!”

Toshiya is treating Ai-san like a goddess.

“Alright, alright, let’s get back to our love stories!”

Now that I think about it, we had gotten sidetracked from our conversation about love.
