The Akizuki Residence is located in Azuma District Nishimaki Ichome.
It's a standard Japanese-style house with a courtyard and two stories.
Cherry blossom trees are planted in front of the door.
At this time, the cherry blossoms have already withered, only the green leaves remain green.
Standing at the doorway, Ayatsuki Ayaka turned her head and said, "Aozawa, I'm home now, you can go on with your things."
"Mhm."
Aozawa let go of her soft little hand.
Ayatsuki Ayaka wanted to grasp it again but didn't have the courage to do so; instead, she clenched her left hand into a fist, trying hard to retain the warmth from Aozawa in her palm.
"See you at school next week."
"Mhm."
Ayatsuki Ayaka nodded solemnly, watching Aozawa leave.
It wasn't until his broad back disappeared down the street that she withdrew her gaze, the feeling of loss in her heart suddenly replaced by joy.
Upon reflection, this date was much better than the last one.
