Convenient Semi-Friend ch27

Erm.
I'm heading off...!

Yeah.
Take care.

...

Ah~
I wish summer break would end already.

She couldn't say "I want to be with you".

Ruka sees off the heroine who unprecidetedly is going home for summer break. A summer break without the one she loves by her side begins.

So?
What're you calling me for?

What choice did I have?
You're all I've got left, Kohaku.
Then you should chat with Suuna-chan, not me.

...Suuna isn't here right now...
I'm lonely.

Then you should just tell her that yourself.
Easy for a brat to say.
I'm hanging up.

But I'm surprised.
I'd've thought you'd hold her back without caring how you'd look.

...I was going to persuade her to stay, but...
"I'm looking forward to it."

After seeing that smile of hers,
I couldn't force her.

You, the Ruka who only desires convenient people...!?
Well excuse me for consulting you so conveniently.

Honestly.
I'm glad you yourself understand.
You're so tolerant, Kohaku-san~

Come to think of it, Suuna-chan's parents live in Kanagawa, right?
Yeah. I think she said it was Yokohama?
Hmm...

It looks like there'll be a huge fireworks festival at the start of August.
!

Just waiting around
isn't your style, is it, Ruka?

Suuna~ Dinnertime~

Wah! Looks delicious!

The food has become really extravagant since Suuna came back~
I might've gotten a little too into it today.

I'm just so happy to have Suuna home that I couldn't help it...
These past four months, he's been like a dog whose owner won't come home~

A dog...
Ahaha
But I'm glad to hear you've been enjoying yourself over there.

You've made a friend, after all.
Y-Yeah!

I-I've made
two of them.

Two! Amazing!! I need both arms to count that!
Ehehe
Five if we're including aquaintances...
Kya~! I don't have enough limbs to count that~

So, are you sure you don't want to spend summer break with your friends?
Ng... That's...

Suuna.
Dad?

If you're not against it,
you should meet up with your friends over summer break.

If you don't meet with them at all, you'll completely forget how to deal with friends come the opening ceremony.
Speaking from my own experience.
Dad...

Of course, if you're having fun being with your family,
that makes us happy, but

if you feel like you want to play with your friends,
it's okay to prioritise that.

...
Yeah.

Uuh.
You're able to make an expression like that now.
I'm so moved!
Good for you, Suuna.
~Ng

...But we already spend every day together,
so it might bother Ruka-san
if I spent summer break with her too...

You're being too negative~
Just like Riku.
Could you not hit me with your stray bullets so naturally?

Would you hate being with Ruka-san forever, Suuna?

Then
Ruka-san wouldn't hate it either, right?

I...

Ruka-san
Today
Are you free August 9th?
There's a fireworks festival where you are. Wanna go together?

!

M-Mom! Dad!
?

Read
I'd like to go.

So, how's it going with your family?
Whatcha doing right now?

Eating dinner.
Both Mom and Dad are doing well.

I wanna see her right away.

The feelings in their hearts are the same.
