“U-hn…”

My BGM today, too, as I woke up, was Sara-senpai’s humming and the chopping sound of the kitchen knife.

Unless she has something urgent to do, she comes to my house before I wake up and starts making breakfast like this.

“Good morning, Kazunari-san. We have wonderful weather today again.”

I opened the curtains and looked out the window.

A sunny day. It’ll probably be hot weather.

“Come, let me help you wash your face and get changed.”

She took out my already prepared shirt and was ready to help change my top.

When I returned to the bathroom after washing my face and changing my pants, breakfast was ready on the table.

Honestly, I think my right wrist has already healed enough for me to change clothes and eat by myself.

But when I mentioned it yesterday, Sara-senpai said.

“Um… don’t you like me doing it for you…? Or am I bothering you, Kazunari-san?”

She looked up from below with puppy eyes… What kind of man would say no to such a cute girl talking to him that way?

That said, the “sometimes” spoiling was changed to “always.”

Frankly, I’m happy to have her do it for me too, but I was afraid I would become a bad guy from being too spoiled.

——————————————

“I’m going shopping later today.”

Sara-senpai said after she put all my laundry in the washing machine.

Sara-senpai is good at efficiently using ingredients. Even though she cooked every day, it never cost a lot.

So I thought I could afford to buy a cake for her as thanks, but…

“You can’t waste money like that, Kazunari-san. If you want, I’ll make you a cake.”

I’d be happy to eat Sara-senpai’s cake, but that’s not what I wanted to say.

However, since Sara-senpai is in charge of my wallet, I couldn’t forcibly buy it…

Anyway, if she wanted to shop for something, I should help her. I can carry the luggage, even if it’s only with my left hand.

“Sara-senpai, I’ll go with you.”

“Kazunari-san, you can stay here…”

“I still have my left hand, so I’ll be fine. Also, I want to go out with Sara-senpai, not just to carry your baggage.”

I stared at Sara-senpai’s eyes as I said that.

“A-alright. In that case… then… I understand…”

Sara-senpai nodded her head embarrassedly.

Recently, I have understood that Senpai was like a caring onee-san who can care a lot about me. But she becomes weak when I tell her what I wanted straight to her.

She often makes gestures of embarrassment and shyness.

Though, if I intentionally tease her, I get a “Kazunari’s such a tease” in return. It made me receive the attack instead.

——————————————

I got everything at the supermarket, but I was surprised to hear we would stop by a specialty store. 

With that, we are now at the fish store.

Amazing… I’m feeling unaccustomed of place yet amazed right now.

Also, I’m surprised Sara-senpai is okay being here.

But it’s just like the family-oriented Sara-senpai, to be so particular about her shopping.

“Ara, Sara-chan, welcome.”

“Hello.”

It appears they knew each other. 

Or maybe Senpai is a regular.

“What do you need today?”

“Well…”

The right-eye flounder was for the main dish, which I like. Senpai also bought some mackerel.

“Thanks for everything. By the way, Sara, is that your Onii-san by any chance?”

The auntie at the fish store was talking to Sara-senpai as she looked at me.

“Ah, this person here is…”

The auntie seemed to have somehow guessed from the atmosphere and looked slightly disappointed.

“I see. Surely a girl like Sara-chan needs a good man in her life, right? If you were still single,  would you like me to introduce you to my son?”

Oi, oi. You’re really saying that in front of me?

That doesn’t make me feel good one bit.

Sara-senpai glanced at me with a slightly troubled expression, and, for some reason, she looked at me happily.

“Fufu… I’m sorry. I already have someone important in my life…”

She approached me, gently crossed her hand with mine, locking our arms together. We stood side by side, cuddling together.

My face surely was grinning with happiness…

“He must be a good guy to win Sara-chan over. Onii-san, treasure her, okay? You’ll never find another girl as nice as her.”

You don’t need to tell me that, Auntie.

Indeed, I’ve used up all the luck in my life by meeting Sara-senpai.

“I know. Don’t worry, I only have Sara-senpai in my life…”

As I said this, Sara-senpai looked at me slightly with a happy smile on her face.

——————————————

“Lottery, huh.”

It is a rare event in the shopping district. One can do a lucky draw from a fish shop or supermarket coupon.

I’ve done it before… and it’s always a bust.

“With the coupons we have… it looks like we can do it three times.”

I don’t think I would win if I did it, but for some reason, I believe Sara-senpai might win something.

She is a goddess, after all.

“Sara-senpai, I’ve never won anything before, so can I leave the lottery drawing to you?”

“I understand. However, please draw at least one. I want to challenge it with you together.”

Sara-senpai was so cute to something like that, even for such a small thing.

So, I’ll be the first one to draw.

The special prize is a yellow ball –  a trip to a hot spring.

A trip with Sara-senpai sounds like a lot of fun.

Ma~a, there’s no way I’m going to win.

*Rattle, rattle, rattle*

*Plop*

White. As I expected.

“Here. You’ve won a tissue.”

I received the pocket tissues I knew I would get.

Next, it was Sara-senpai’s turn.

“I’ll do my best.”

Sara-senpai, looking motivated, puts her hand on the handle of the lottery machine.

*Rattle rattle rattle*

*Plop*

Red!?

*Clang, clang, clang!*

The handbell that is shaken when you win something rang out.

“Congratulations! You’ve won a pair of tickets to the Marine Garden Pool!”

A resort pool… and a pair of invitation tickets.

Amazing… As expected of a goddess… to suddenly win that.

“I did it! Kazunari-san, it’s an invitation ticket to a swimming pool.”

Sara-senpai looked happy and excited.

With this, it was decided that I’d have a pool date with Sara-senpai.

“Kazunari-san… with this ticket… please go with…”

“Sara-senpai, would you like to go to the pool with me? Let’s go on a date.”

I feel like it’s not cool because I didn’t win the ticket, but I think a man should be the one to ask her out in a situation like this.

“Yes! I’d be happy to!”

Sara-senpai, who came to my side, and leaned her body close to mine, was so cute…

“Sorry to ruin the good atmosphere you two have, but you still have to pull one more time.”

The uncle, with an iffy smile, said.

“Sara-senpai, one more time.”

“I understand. I’ll do my best.”

A swimsuit… swimsuit…Sara-senpai in a swimsuit…

As expected of a healthy young boy, my imagination is running wild.

*Clang, clang, clang*

I heard the sound of handbells again.

No way!

“C-congratulations! Marin Garden Pool tickets are out again!”

…Eh?

The second pair of tickets!?

“Kazunari-san, what shall we do…?”

Yeah, what should we do…?
