And so, the Saturday afternoon arrived.
I stood in front of Yuuko’s house. It had a modern design with a predominant white color, accented with touches of black and wooden materials. There was a garden spacious enough for ten people to perform a small choreographed dance, and among the considerably large houses in Fukui, it was quite impressive.
Although I had walked her home countless times from last year, this was my first time stepping inside.
If I lingered too long, hesitation would surely creep in. So, I tried to relax and pressed the intercom button.
In that instant, as if she had been eagerly waiting, the door swung open.
“Saku!”
Yuuko, dressed more casually than usual, rushed out with an air of urgency. She dashed over to me in a flurry.
“Hey, be careful. You might trip if you’re that flustered.”
Ignoring my words as if she didn’t hear them, she opened the gate and hurriedly stepped outside, swiftly closing it behind her.
She took a slight breath, then tightly gripped my hand with both of hers.
“I’m sorry,” Her eyes, glistening with the threat of tears, looked up at me, “I forgot about a precious promise.”
In that moment, I instantly grasped the meaning behind her abrupt words.
Because I had remembered the exact same thing last night.
“──Someday, when a special moment comes.”
The words I had casually uttered on our way home in April resurfaced in my mind. Certainly, everything between us had changed, and perhaps the special day we had envisioned back then had taken a slightly different form.
Yuuko tightly sealed her lips and then, with a timid and hesitant manner, began to speak.
“You know, if Saku…”
But before she could finish her sentence, I interrupted her.
“──Thank you. It seems you’ve cherished it as well, Yuuko.”
“Huh…?”
If Yuuko hadn’t brought it up herself, I could have pretended it never happened. Those words that spilled into the sentimental border between day and night could easily have been buried deep in the pocket of forgetfulness for ten years, and no one would have been troubled.
Yet, Yuuko referred to it as a precious promise.
If the dusk of that day still lingered within both our hearts…
I smiled mischievously and said, “Let’s turn these two days into a special memory for everyone. For now, maybe we can just leave it at that.”
Yuuko pressed her lips together tightly, as if to hide her embarrassment, and her eyes softened with an endearing look.
“Yeah, I agree.”
She softly spoke, and then, unable to contain her emotions any longer, her cheeks relaxed,
“──Someday, until I become your ordinary.”
She smiled shyly with a hint of a giggle.
