Convenient Semi-Friend ch28

Today's "Convenient Semi-Friend" is a summer festival date<3

Uuh... Why am I dressed like this...?

Flashback
Let's put you in a yukata while we're at it~
Eh... N-No thanks...
Don't be shy now. Come on, let's buy one!

If Ruka-chan shows up dressed like she usually is, I'm gonna lightly die of embarrassment...

Nice play, Mom!

I want to spend all of these seasons with you more.

Oh.
Suuna~

Sorry.
Kept you waiting, huh?

...What's wrong?
...

I'm going home.
It hasn't even been 10 seconds!

She explained.
Ah... So that's what it was...

I was really looking forward
to hanging out with you today though, Suuna~

Are you really gonna go home?
...

W-Well, if you insist...
"Looking forward... with me..."
Thank goodness she's so gullible.

Besides,

I'm really happy I get to see you
in a yukata, Suuna.

It really suits you.

...Th-...
ank...
you...

Woah, there's a lot of people~
Uuh, I'm gonna get crowdsick...

I'm getting separated from Ruka-san...

Eh... What's this all of a sudden...
So cute...

Hah
Ah.

S-Sorry. I'm not used to places like this...
I'm gonna stretch out your clothes, huh.
Ah!! Ah, so that's what that was.
Sorry for not noticing.

...Then do you wanna
hold hands?

There's a lot of stalls, huh?
Yeah. Shall we eat something in place of dinner?

Sure...
Ah, candy apples.
You like those?
N-No, I just thought it was summer festival-ish.

Getting to come to a summer festival fills me with deep... emotions...
Let's go to lots of summer festivals together, okay!?

~~~/// Well, since we're here and all, I guess I'll buy one.
Sure, of course.
I'll also...

To be honest, candy apples...
are number 2 on my "stall foods I don't wanna eat in public" ranking~

It looks cute, but the candy is surprisingly tough and it's tricky to eat.
What did you say, punk...?
More than anything, it makes my mouth unbelievably sticky.

...go with a candy strawberry, I guess.
? What was that pause about...?
Pleasure doing business.
Chickened out

Ehehe. Th-Thanks for the food.
Cute~

...?

...
~Ng

Thank you, candy apple.

C-Candy apples sure are tricky to eat, huh...
Ahaha. No need to force yourself.
It's fine...

This kind of experience
is kinda fun to me now too.

I wanna give Suuna a lot of fun experiences too...
Ruka-san...?
Must Protect

B-But it really is tricky to eat, so I'll eat it at home...
You probably wouldn't be able to eat anything else at this rate.

Wah! Choco-bananas! This is summer festival-ish too...!

Choco-Banana

!!

Choco-bananas are those things that give off a lewd vibe...!
Hawa...
Ah~...

I-I wanna see it...!!
But I don't want others to see Suuna like that...
Suu-...
One choco-banana coming right up~

Ah.
Thank you.

Cut Type!!!

Th-That's not what I expected...

But well, it won't be lewd like this, so whatever.
Is it good?
Yes.

C-Cotton candy... Summer festival-ish.

Cotton Candy

Indeed. Shall we have some?

Baby Castellas.
-ish.
Shaved ice.
Sounds good.
Candy apricots.
-ish.

...Suuna's eating nothing but sweet stuff.
Not that good with sweet things.

I kinda wanted to go home at first,
but this is pretty fun...
The yukata doesn't look out of place here too...

...I wonder if Ruka-san
is enjoying herself too...

Eh? Is she enjoying herself!?
Someone who inadvertently thinks things and immediately becomes concerned about them.

Come to think of it, I get the feeling we've only been checking out what I wanted to eat...!
Wh-What do I do? I'm so insensitive!!

U-Um, Ruka-sa-...
What's... Hm? Suuna.

You've got a bit of churro around your mouth.
Eh!? Really!?

Wh-Where is it!?
Haha. Not there...

Here.

Ah...
Thank...

Mm...

It's sweet.

Hya...wa...
R-Ruka-sa...
Ah, found you!
