The three of us headed for Ichikura Station in our uniforms.
Eda and Mia are beautiful girls, and I’m just a bonus.
Both of them are my girlfriends. I don’t think anyone would believe me if I said that.
We took the bus to the outlet mall.
It was a weekday afternoon, so there didn’t seem to be many people there.
We were only here for the right, but even so, Mia was quite excited.
“Mia is quite childish, isn’t she?”
“Really? You wanted to go out with me, didn’t you?”
“As I said, I invited everyone, that’s why I invited you as well.”
“Yes, yes.”
It was refreshing to see Eda being talked down like this.
As for Eda, she felt frustrated because she couldn’t get the upper hand.
When we arrived at the outlet mall, we headed straight for the jewelry store.
“Such an inexpensive thing……”
“You don’t have to wear it if you don’t want to?”
“I, I’ll wear it!”
“Koumei! Two rings so Rino-chan gets one too.”
That’s how I bought two new rings.
Then I gave one to Eda.
“We’re all matching.”
“S, so what?”
While glaring at me from behind her glasses, Eda accepted the rings with both hands.
Then she put the ring on her middle finger.
“It suits you, Fukiko.”
“That doesn’t matter.”
Eda seemed to be pleased, although she didn’t say much.
I didn’t miss the fact that she stared at the ring for a minute and then nodded once in satisfaction.
“What’s next?”
I asked both of them.
Mia pondered for a moment and then looked at Eda.
“Is there somewhere you want to go, Fukiko?”
“Not really, but….”
“Let’s just hang out.”
Mia suggested, so we decided to walk around the mall, even though we didn’t have anything special to do.
Eda and Mia walked side by side, and I followed a little behind them.
For me, it was interesting to see how the two of them had a certain vibe that naturally gave way to each other.
Some people tried to talk to them, but when Eda glared at them, they quickly left.
“Hey, stay closer.”
Mia turned around and said to me.
She’s not angry, but she’s not happy.
“Please do something boyfriend-like.”
“What do you mean by that?”
I asked as I approached them.
Eda looked at me and smiled.
“Mia, I feel sorry for you if you expect that from Okutani-kun.”
“Oi, Eda, don’t use me as a target just because you can’t beat Mia with words.”
“Ara, what are you talking about?”
Eda quietly took her eyes off me.
Mia said.
“For example, you need to think about what you are going to do next….Like pulling me along more.”
“That said….”
This is an outlet mall.
Since we had gotten the ring we were after, we had nothing more to do.
But I’m spending the same amount of time with both of them.
Maybe it was the boyfriend’s job to plan some kind of event.
“Ah…”
Suddenly, Eda stopped and spoke up.
It was more of a reaction of discovery than an idea.
Mia and I also stopped and waited for Eda’s words.
“I’ve got an idea……”
“What is it? What is it?”
Mia asked Eda happily.
Eda’s eyes behind her glasses looked straight at Mia and she said,
“I want to see a movie.”
The place where Eda stopped was in front of a movie theater in the outlet mall.
There are posters for the movies currently on view.
“Is there something you want to see?”
“This.”
Eda responded to my question by pointing to one of the posters.
“…….Impossible, no, no, no!”
Mia shook her head, raising her voice.
Raising an eyebrow, Eda said in a cold voice.
“Let’s look at it together? Mia.”
“I’ll watch another one, but not that one! Please!”
The poster Eda pointed to was a horror movie poster.
The title was Channel 2, a horror movie whose film was quite a hit.
“What about you, Okutani-kun? Do you want to see it?”
Apparently, Eda was trying to get me on her side.
But that’s not the case.
“No, I haven’t seen the first one, so I don’t want to watch….The second one first.”
“R, right!”
Mia, who was hiding behind my back for some reason, shouted.
“Th, this is the second one! If we want to watch it, we have to start from the beginning.”
“…..Ara, what a coincidence. I’ve never seen the first one either.”
At this point, Eda’s goal became clear.
“Then, let’s watch the first one together.”
“Eh?”
Mia’s expression hardens.
Seeing this, Eda spoke quickly like a fish out of water.
“You know that video rental store near Ichikura Station? Let’s rent it there and go to my house. Why don’t we watch the first movie there?”
“W, wait a minute!”
“Mia, you said it yourself, right? You said we have to start from the beginning.”
“Th, that’s right, but……”
Eda, who has been beaten up before, shows her true colors as she seeks revenge.
“If you want, we can watch it at night for a better atmosphere.”
“Why? Why? Wait!”
Mia grabbed my uniform and asked for help.
I opened my mouth to say something, but Eda interrupted me.
“If it’s night, Mikoto-san and Yotsuba will be able to come…. Tomorrow is summer vacation, so you can stay at my house if you want….Ah, you can contact Rino-san as well?”
“Eh, ah…..Un.”
I just replied in a flowing manner.
Don. Then, Mia pushed me back.
When I stumbled 2 steps forward, I turned around to look behind me.
“I…..can’t….”
“It’s okay…..We’ll all watch it together without Mia.”
“Hey….It’s great that we’re all getting together, but….. Le, let’s not watch that movie…. Okay?”
I asked Mia, who was a little teary-eyed.
“Are you that scared?”
“I, I’m scared! Just by thinking about it… Aah!”
Mia looked at me and Eda as if she remembered something.
“My mom and dad won’t be home today…..What do I do?”
“Eh?”
“Hey, Koumei…..Come stay with me.”
It seems that just by talking about it now, Mia has become scared.
And she didn’t want to be home alone this evening.
“Mia…..Okutani-kun is coming to my house today, remember?”
“No! Koumei is coming to my house!”
She became like a spoiled child.
As expected, Eda was not going to go further than she already went.
Mia’s reaction so far was enough for her to get her revenge.
Eda said softly.
“I’ll join you for the sleepover.”
“Are you coming to my house?”
“Yes.”
“No scary videos, okay?”
“Okay.”
Apparently, regardless of my intentions, we were going to have a sleepover today.
