Volume 2 Chapter 30 I Decided To Go Out With Namiki-San And Nakagaito During The Summer Vacation To Thank Them For The Special Volleyball Training
Now, the date and time for the outing with Fumi-chan and Kokonoe-san have been decided.
After that, I finished my homework and did some preparation and review, and then I suddenly remembered.
By the way, I was thinking that I should express my gratitude to Nakagaito for taking care of me so much during volleyball practice.
If Namiki-san, who practiced with me, also wants to go on a summer outing, we should all go together.
So, I sent a message to Nakagaito on social messenger.
[Good evening. Thank you for accompanying me in today's ball game, I was able to do reasonably well. I really appreciate it.]
I immediately received a reply from Nakagaito.
[It wasn't a big deal, really. But well, I think we did well enough to make it to the second round. It was great that we all came together and enjoyed playing volleyball, right?]
[Well, even if we can't defeat opponents who are really serious about it during the third round of our club activities, there's nothing we can do.]
[That's just how sports are.]
[Speaking of that. I'm thinking of thanking you and Namiki-san, so could you come to Patisserie Ando Trois tomorrow at 10 AM?]
[Yeah, sure.]
[Also, I'm sorry, but...]
[?]
[Could you also invite Namiki-san for me? Actually, I haven't asked for Namiki-san's social media address yet, so I can't contact her myself.]
[You're hardworking but forgetful in strange ways.]
[Well, I prioritized getting Namiki-san into the group of girls' conversations.]
[I exchanged contact information with her a long time ago, you know?]
[Seriously, sorry about that.]
[Well, it's okay.]
[Okay, see you tomorrow.]
[Yeah.]
After making plans to meet at the patisserie, I quickly went to bed, and the next day, Saturday.
As usual, I arrived at the patisserie at 7 AM.
"Good morning, Ikurumi-san."
"Yes, thank you again for today."
"Excuse me, I'll be calling my classmates again today, so thank you in advance."
When I said that, Ikurumi-san smiled and replied,
"It's actually helpful that you're bringing customers and spending money at our store."
After finishing cleaning the showcase, glass, and other parts of the shop, and assisting the pastry chef in the kitchen with tasks like cutting fruits, I silently worked until the opening. Kashiyama-san also arrived before the opening.
"Good morning, Kashiyama-san."
Kashiyama-san smiled and said to me,
"Yeah, good morning. You're busy feeding the girls again today, huh?"
"Well, that sounds really bad when you put it that way."
"It may sound that way to me. Well, I'm one of the ones being 'fed' too."
Well, she's probably joking, so it's not meant to be mocking. But Kashiyama-san has a somewhat elusive vibe.
At 10 o'clock, two people came.
Nakagaito was, as always, trying hard to dress nicely. "Hello, Nakagaito," I said.
"Oh, good morning. I didn't really need a big thanks, but since you're offering."
Then, Namiki-san also arrived.
"Namiki-san, good morning."
I said, and Namiki-san nodded politely.
"Yes, good morning."
"You look the same as always, but Namiki-san, do you have muscle pain?"
She smiled and said,
"I'm a little sore all over."
"Well, that's normal. I'm a bit sore too, haha."
Nakagaito, looking annoyed by our talk, said,
"You two are hopeless."
"Well, even if you say that, we can't help it. Anyway, please sit down."
I said, guiding them to the seating area and serving them blueberry sauce cheesecake and iced tea.
"Uh, well, thank you both a lot for helping me practice for the sports day."
"I didn't do it for you or anything."
Nakagaito said that to me, and Namiki-san also said,
"I should thank you. It was good for me to play volleyball right."
"Well, then, I thought, if you both like, we could go somewhere in the summer break or something."
When I said that, Namiki-san answered first,
"Then, I want to go to an aquarium where we can watch dolphin shows."
"Dolphin shows, huh? Now, it may be nice to get a bit wet."
"Yes, I would be more happy if I could see penguins, seals, and big fish."
"Hmm, if we want to watch dolphin shows, then maybe Shinagawa's Marine Park or Shinagawa Aquarium, and also Yokohama's Marine Paradise? We need to check if we can see penguins and stuff."
"Oh, yes, Shinagawa is not that far."
"If you use the fast train, you can get there pretty quickly, especially to Shinagawa."
And Nakagaito, who had been thinking for a moment, said,
"I want to go to a pool with a slide and have fun."
"I see, pools are most fun in the summer, and that sounds good. If you're okay with a small slide, you could try Funabashi Sports Park Pool. Otherwise, if you want a bigger one nearby, Inage Kaigan Seaside Park Pool might be a good option."
When I said that, Nakagaito responded,
"You really know a lot about places with slides in pools, don't you?"
"Hm? I used to swim a lot during middle school at Funabashi Sports Park Pool in the summer, and my mom used to take me to Inage Kaigan Seaside Park Pool when I was small, like in elementary school."
Namiki-san then asked with a tilted head,
"Do they have dolphin shows and penguins too?"
"Yeah, when I was in elementary school, I used to go to places like the zoo, botanical gardens, aquariums, and museums during breaks quite often."
"Oh, I see. So, you're really familiar with those kinds of places."
When Nakagaito mentioned that, Namiki-san also added her thoughts.
"To be honest, I thought maybe you were going on lots of dates with girls or something, but going out with family is more natural, isn't it?"
"Well, for me, it was like a family tradition, so we often went out in cars. Every year, we visited places like Hakone, Mount Tsukuba, and the seaside."
Though, I did go to places like aquariums with girls before I passed away.
"So, about the planned day to go out, is after August 20th, right after the Obon Festival, good for both of you?"
"I'm okay with that."
When Nakagaito said that, Namiki-san also agreed.
"Yes, that works for me too."
"Well, thanks. Whether it's a pool or an aquarium, it's better to go after the Obon Festival when the heat has eased a bit. If it's a pool, there might be cases where direct sunlight can't be blocked. And for the aquarium, I think it's better to see the dolphin show outdoors when it's a little cooler."
When I said that, they both nodded.
"Oh, I understand. That could be true."
"Yes, it is."
"Okay then, I'll send you the details later on social media. Oh, Namiki-san, can we share our contact information?"
"Of course, I get it. It's still a bit far away, but I'll look forward to it."
"Ah, got it. Share contact information, right? Here you go."
And so, it was decided that I would go with Nakagaito and Namiki-san on a summer vacation together.
It feels like I'm doing something from a dating simulation game, doesn't it?
