We took a taxi with Kosaka and arrived at the restaurant she recommended, a barbecue restaurant.

"What's wrong~?"

Although Kita's smart eyes did not say anything, they also showed his doubts.

"I thought... Kosakayu would go to a sushi restaurant..."

Kita said weakly.

"That's just a nickname, and I'm a senior!"

Kosaka said with a peaceful smile.

"sorry!"

"It's okay, I was just joking..."

Kosaka found that compared to Kita, she seemed lively.

"Thank you before."

"Before...?"

Kita tilted her head in confusion and asked

"That time with hot cocoa."

"It's just a little effort."

The two of them spoke to each other cautiously and sat down in their seats.

Of course they were sitting face to face and didn't do anything else.

"...Kita, do you like reading comics?"

Kosaka broke the silence again and asked.

She was definitely the one who took the initiative to speak the most today.

"Well... I don't like it very much, but my friend likes it."

"That's it."

After failing to find a topic, the scene became quiet again.

"...Is the job at NAO hard?"

This time it was Kita's turn to speak.

"It's okay..."

"oh..."

Kita was torn between wanting to go up but not daring.

"What's wrong?"

It was too easy to see Kita's expression, so Kosaka asked softly.

"I used to give my sister a massage..."

Kita wanted to get closer to him, but because of social fear and fear of Kosaka's rejection, his words became softer and softer.

"Then, can you press it for me?"

Kosaka followed Kita's words and continued with a chuckle.

"good!"

Kita jumped up when he heard this and came behind Kosaka.

Jade's hands were placed on Kosaka's delicate shoulders, and she gently kneaded the soft flesh on Kosaka's shoulders.

"...How about it?"

Kita asked with a blushing face.

"It's very comfortable, thank you."

Kosaka's smile is very gentle.

"No... no need."

The atmosphere between the two gradually changed from awkward to warm.

The atmosphere during the meal was much better than at the beginning.

"I got it."

Kosaka chuckled and pointed at Kita's lips, which were stained with some salad juice.

"where?"

Kita was embarrassed and wanted to wipe it with the back of her hand, but Kosaka quickly held down the hand she wanted to raise.

"Handkerchief."

Kosaka said as she treated her younger sister, picking up her handkerchief and gently wiping the corners of Kita's lips.

"Ah...um..."

Frightened by Kosaka's boyfriend's powerful move, Kita flinched, but the chair was pressed upright against her back, preventing her from retreating any further.

Kita could smell her scent on Kosaka's handkerchief, which made her blush inexplicably.

"Okay, idols should pay attention to their image."

"good..."

Looking at Kosaka's pretty face, Kita couldn't help but blush.

"Handkerchief... I'll take it back and wash it."

Kita said softly.

"Okay~"

The warm handkerchief knotted in Kosaka's hand made Kita's heart beat wildly, as if there were several deer running in her chest.

"Speaking of which, Kita High School is in the volleyball club, right?"

"Yes."

"Me too!"

"Really…?!"

"Really, although there are relatively few, and they are only substitutes."

The two talked passionately about volleyball again.

"...whatever anime NAO likes to watch, I'll go back and watch it too..."

Finally, when the two of them were about to finish eating, Kita mustered up the courage to speak.

"Are you interested Kita?"

"Um!"

"In that case, since we are all in the volleyball club, Kita can watch the small volleyball first. Next time we are free, let's go to animate together!"

"Okay!"

When he heard that he could go shopping with Kosaka, the smile on Kita's face became even brighter.
