”Sō-chan! Look, look! It’s a seal! He’s so cuteー.”

”Oh, he sure is cute.”

”Hey, let’s go see the giant salamander. I hear they’re very popular! “

”Haha, I guess Kanna’s getting too excited.”

”Huh, because it’s fun. The aquarium with Sō-chan! “

That’s right. We’re at the aquarium.

At the Kyoto Aquarium.

Anyway, first of all, I’m glad that Kanna’s in a good mood.

I’m really glad.

So why aren’t we at Shimogamo Shrine, which we were so desperate to get to?

For some reason, Kanna suddenly came running from inside the shrine in a panic and said she had a bad feeling about something and said we should go somewhere else.

To be honest, I don’t know why she has always had a wild intuition.

I remember that she used to say something like this rather suddenly, and it used to baffle me.

However, this intuition has been right many times, and she has helped me a lot in many situations.

And I’m here today because I intuitively feel that I should listen to what Kanna says.

Especially after what happened with Karen and Sayaka…

Hey, seal… I envy you. You’re so comfortable here.

You don’t seem to be worried at all.

I’m totally exposed to them now…

What the hell went wrong? I don’t know why I get into all that trouble…

What did I do to myself that I didn’t even know I was doing?

And that feeling. Maybe I’m wrong about this one, and more likely, they’ve been talking about me…

Especially Karen.

”Hmm, you know, So-chan and I went to the aquarium together once before. Remember?　Sō-chan got lost that time.”

”Lost, huh? No, I remember, but it was Kanna who got lost that time. Definitely Kanna.”

”Oh, yeah? Is it?”

Right. Kanna and I have been as close as a family for a long time.

It’s no exaggeration to say that we are a family.

That’s why I’m still a little worried about her.

Well, I’m too occupied with myself for now.

[ I wish Kanna could have a little bit more interesting love story. I don’t think her face and personality are bad, but what do you think, Sota? I don’t know if you…]

She asks me that kind of question quite often.

Well, I think she’s right.

Kanna is pretty and has a good personality.

Why doesn’t she have a boyfriend?　I keep wondering why.

I mean, why is that? Hmm?

Wait a minute…

Could it be my fault…?

Now that I think about it, I’ve been through some things recently that greatly improved my sense. I used to be a rather introverted person.

Come to think of it. The teacher actually thought I’d been abandoned by the rest of the group, too…

What’s that?　Is that what you’re doing?

”But it’s really fun. This is like a date. ……. What do you think, Sō-chan?”

So it’s my fault……?

”Huh? Sō-chan, are you listening? What? What’s wrong? Hey.”

So, in a roundabout way, the aunt frequently reminded me too…

”Oh, my God! Are you in your own world again?　Sō-chan! Sō-chan! ! ! “

And meanwhile, at Shimogamo Shrine, where they were supposed to be…
