I felt that it hadn't been long since he made that toasted sandwich.

He probably made it at home and brought it for me.

He might've gone back to school after that, but he could've gone home as well.

It seems more likely that he went home, but I remembered the bench Kaede was crying on when I bought the black coffee for him back then.

My legs naturally led me to that place.

Somehow, I have a feeling that I would be able to meet him if I go there.

I ran to the bench near the vending machine.

"......Found you."

As expected, the person I had been looking for was there.

I couldn't see his face but I could see his golden hair.

His legs were raised onto the bench as he hugged his knees with his head hung low.

"......Kaede."

When I called out, his curled up body twitched as if reacting to my voice.

But it didn't seem like he intended to look at me nor move any further.

I heard sobs as I approached him.

......He seems to be crying.

"Why did you come here?"

He muttered in a trembling voice. He sounded annoyed.

His appearance seemed ridiculous yet pitiful.

Anxious that he would run away, I slowly sat down next to him.

"......I remember now. [Aki-chan]."

It was when I was in kindergarten.

The topic of marriage became popular amongst the kindergarten children, and it was a thing where those who did not have a partner at that time would not get married in the future.

At that time, I liked Hina and of course, I confessed to her. However, she answered with, "I like Makoto-nii more," and rejected me.

When I was crushing the sand in the sandpit in a crestfallen mood, a little girl approached me and declared–

"I can be your wife!"

I only looked at Hina so I didn't know who she was, but she was a cute girl with golden hair tied up in a small pigtail.

I promised to marry that girl on the spot.

But there was something I didn't know.

The fact that 'She' was a 'He'.

I got angry when I learned about it at a later date.

"If that's the case, then I wouldn't be able to marry them,"I thought.

AD

I complained to him. I told him not to say that when we couldn't even get married, and so my memory with him ended there.

I called him "Aki-chan".

Because his name is "Kaede Akihito", so it's "Aki-chan".

"You didn't have to remember that."
