"You don't want to go with everyone?" Sumire must have seen his troubled expression.
"No, you're right. This would be a good bonding activity. However, our preparations for the festival performance are almost done. We should use whatever we can to strengthen our bonds."
"Mm, I knew you would understand, Yuhi."
Seeing the relief in her eyes, he sighed quietly again. Sometimes he wishes he could lose his temper like Ran did not too long ago. But Sumire already has a lot on her mind. It would be wrong of him to act selfishly.
Yuhi wrapped his arms around her, and a content sigh escaped her lips.
"Tonight's date was good. I'm happy, Yuhi."
"Hah, but we ended up talking more than eating."
Sumire giggled. "It always ends up like that with us. But that just means we don't have to cook for a few days."
That's true, he overdid it on his side, and that doesn't include the dishes she made.
