Sometimes, life is just the blink of an eye.
Yukino Fuyumi had indeed intended to pretend to nap at first, but perhaps the working hours before this long vacation had been too prolonged, and she was extremely tired.
When she woke up, it was already Hayato nudging her arm.
"Wake up, Yukino Fuyumi, I am Sha... cough, cough, Hachijuu Inaba has arrived," Hayato said.
"Mmm..."
Yukino Fuyumi sniffed slightly, humming dreamily, "Okay."
As her blurry vision cleared, the first thing she saw was the boy's face, which pierced her heart.
It was naturally wonderful to see such a face right after waking up.
Yukino Fuyumi chuckled contentedly.
But then...
Stare.
(*_*) ← This gaze from behind the boy made Yukino Fuyumi snap back to reality.
This wasn't her own bed, but the Sanyo Shinkansen!
She quickly stood up.
"...Mm." She nodded hurriedly.
Then, she leaped past Hayato and rushed towards the train door.
She seemed to want to avoid someone's gaze, almost without looking back.
Hayato scratched the back of his head before following with Nanao Akane.
Since Yukino Fuyumi was going to 'neighboring town', her exit was in a different direction from Hayato and Nanao Akane, who were heading to Hachijuu Inaba.
"...Hey!" Hayato called out to her.
Yukino Fuyumi's body stiffened, but she finally managed to stop her slightly flustered steps.
She turned her head, thinking, 'Are you trying to kill me? Will you only be happy if that girl fights me?'
"Be careful on your way. We're going this way," Hayato said, pointing to the station exit.
"...Oh, oh!" Yukino Fuyumi nodded, then looked at Nanao Akane, who was behind Hayato but still poking her head out,'staring—'. "Then, then bye-bye—" Yukino Fuyumi waved.
"Mm, goodbye," Hayato said.
After Yukino Fuyumi and Hayato went their separate ways, she caressed her gradually calming chest.
Phew, she finally escaped a disaster.
But while she made a quick escape, she didn't know if anything would happen to the boy... Perhaps after they parted ways, he would still face the girl's interrogation.
Yukino Fuyumi gritted her teeth and stomped her foot.
She thought, 'Let him die.'
But almost biting her teeth to pieces and numbing her foot, she still trembling took out her phone and hastily edited a text message.
> "Was it exposed?"
Then she clicked send...
There was no'sent successfully'; the reason was 'You have not filled in a contact person'.
"...Huh?" Yukino Fuyumi finally remembered that she didn't seem to have the boy's contact information.
She turned her head again.
Just like in the movies.
She could no longer see the boy's back.
Listening to the sound of the Shinkansen restarting, Hayato thought this had to be a new Makoto Shinkai masterpiece.
Brother Cheng was eternal, it seemed.
However, he was also quite curious as to why Yukino Fuyumi would come here. Due to her identity as a demi-human, many things were inconvenient to say in public.
Hayato also didn't know if her coming to this place was related to this identity, so he didn't inquire.
Now...
Hayato pulled out his phone.
He originally wanted to contact Yukino Fuyumi, and then...
Oh no.
He had already counted how many moles Miss Yukino had on her body, but he still didn't know how many digits her phone number had.
"...That Miss Yukino."
