Chapter 51 A Broken Promise

(Don't own the art above)

Shindou POV

I was walking home with Kirino after practice.

Kirino: "You alright?"

"Hm? Oh, yes I'm fine."

Kirino: "Are you sure?"

"Kirino...?"

Kirino: "With everything that's happened so far... especially about Saegusa-san."

I became quiet. Kirino stopped and turned to me.

"...Hey Kirino?"

Kirino: "What is it?"

"Do you hate Shirabe-san?"

Kirino: "Hate isn't what I'd say... but I don't dislike her either. I thought of her as a part of the team. But now... I'm not sure."

I looked away.

Kirino: "What about you?"

"...I..."

I remember the times I spent with Shirabe before and while she was in our club. Then I look at my hand.

Shirabe: ...If you keep doing that, you'll hurt your hand.

"...I don't despise Shirabe-san. But..."

Kirino: "But?"

"I think..."

Shirabe: ...It doesn't what you think of me anymore.

"....."

I look up towards the sky.

"I think the time she spent with us was real."

Kirino: "Shindou..."

*Later*

Miria POV

I suddenly got a text from Tsurugi to meet up so I headed to the cafe.

I wonder what he has to talk about...

Shirabe: ...Are you two on a date?

I stopped and quickly put my hands on my hot cheeks.

"Ah...!"

Why am I thinking about that?! And why right now?!

*mumble* "...Do we really look like a couple to everyone...?"

I shake my head quickly.

"No that can't be why he's asking me to come today..."

After I calmed down a little I entered the cafe. Then I spotted Tsurugi sitting  down with...

"...Shindou-senpai?"

I walked over to them.

Tsurugi: "There you are."

"I'm sorry, I'm a little late..."

I look between the two of them.

"So, what did you want to talk to me about?"

I sat down next to Tsurugi.

Shindou: "You too, Miria-san?"

"Yeah... oh, were you going to tell Shindou-senpai too?"

Tsurugi: "Yeah..."

Tsurugi paused and looked away before looking at us.

Tsurugi: "It's about Saegusa-senpai."
