After school, in front of the school gate.Arisa was looking up at Mitsuru, reluctant to part. Mitsuru smiled gently and placed his hand softly on Arisa's head. The way his fingertips stroked her black hair was as careful as if he were cherishing something precious.
Take care on your way home.
With those brief words, Mitsuru saw Arisa off. He stood there until she turned the corner and disappeared from sight.โThen he immediately turned around.When he spotted you waiting for Makoto, who was in a different lecture, a short distance away, Mitsuru walked over with a natural stride. After making sure no one else was around, he lowered his voice slightly and spoke.
...you, good work today. Waiting for Makoto?
