The forest park after school.

I and Abeno-senpai were in the forest park.

We did a take-out from the hamburger shop and what we took was potato, nuggets and a cup of coffee.

“Fufu… We’re idle chatting and eating junk food after school… Just like lovers.”

“Well, if others look at us it might look like that to them.”

“Fufu…”

Abeno-senpai was laughing happily and then with a *Gohon* she cleared her throat.

Then she made a serious expression.

“Now, Morishita-kun.”

“What could it be, senpai?”

“Let’s talk about our first experience.”

“So it’s as usual however isn’t it way too fast this time!?”

And then as usual she continued talking while ignoring me who’s confused.

“Then, you know, I want you to wait a little time for our first experience.”

“Wanting me to wait for what?”

“I have no experience. Currently, I’m training myself slowly at night.”

“Let’s just stop with this talk already… Even if senpai predicts something in the future and prepares alone, I had no say in it!”

“Basically, I am”

Senpai became silent.

She took deep breaths and talked.

“Expanding my insides.”

“And why do you always have to correct yourself like that!?”

“However, Morishita-kun. Don’t worry.”

“Be relieved?”

“Yeah” She nodded and continued speaking.

“I’m properly paying attention so it doesn’t tear. That’s why have relief.”

“I don’t want to hear it so vividly!”

“But, Morishita-kun?”

“What is it?”

“This is something to think about our future. This is… a test that we must overcome.”

“Rather, I still have no intentions of doing that so expanding it has no meaning, too.”

Abeno-senpai made a *Ha* surprised expression.

“That part being expanded has no meaning… Could it be you…?”

“What?”

“Do you intend to neglect the front and go immediately for the behind!?”

“How did it become like that!?”

“I was aware of it more or less, however… As expected I’m astonished by you.”

“You’re the last person to say that! At any rate, I still haven’t thought about taking senpai’s virginity.”

And then she took the coffee cup and began removing the lid.

“By the way, Morishita-kun.”

“What is it?”

“I didn’t say anything other than our first time. How did the topic become about my virginity?”

“Eh?”

“I was talking about our first creation in the sand box? We make mountains in the sandbox and facing each other… Basically, we’ll be playing around and make tunnels in the front and back… I was then going to secretly expand the front tunnel. Where did the words about my virginity appear? Good grief… You as a human are an unsavable pervert.”

“Although you’re just saying that to make fun of perverts… Isn’t that forcing it a bit too much!?”

Abeno-senpai ignored my objection and tasted the coffee.

“Senpai?”

“What is it?”

“You won’t put milk or sugar in it?”

“Oh my, Morishita-kun are you a child?”

“What do you mean?”

“Only children put milk or sugar in their coffee.”

She said only that and with a cool expression she drank her coffee.

And then with the same cool expression she blurted out.

“Heavily bitter!”

“Just put in sugar obediently!”

With having teary eyes she listened to my advice and inserted sugar and milk in her coffee.

“Um. Delicious.”

“You should’ve put them from the start…”

I sighed and Abeno-senpai hit her palm with *Pan*

“Hey, Morishita-kun?”

“What is it, senpai?”

“We’ve become more than friends so isn’t it time we stop calling each other Morishita-kun and Abeno-senpai?”

“Well, that might be true.”

“We should change how we call each other.”

“Seems okay. How does senpai want me to call her?”

She thought for a bit and then while having a cool smile she talked.

“Kaguya-nyan… is what I would like you to call me.”

“Eh? What did you say!?”

She became silent.

She took deep breaths and then talked.

“Kaguya-nyan.”

“Despite pretending that I haven’t heard you— Why are you correct it like that!?”

“By the way, I’ll be calling you Daiki-nyan from now on.”

“Please don’t!”

“By the way, Morishita-kun?”

“In the end you won’t call me Daiki-nyan!?”

“That’s right. I won’t call you that. So, the day you fought the Nine-tails… you…”

“You’re suddenly changing the topic, again… So, what is it?”

“You were on a date with a girl…?”

Abeno-senpai was looking at me with icy eyes.
