Chapter 288

Yasui Ryouto muttered:

"Nothing good comes from a visit without a reason, probably nothing good."

Araki Yuai pouted:

"I think so too."

Tsukishima Rin was not familiar with shogi and their interpersonal relationships, so she didn't interrupt, just sat quietly beside Natsume Chikage, listening to his conversation with his friends.

However, she remembered that April 13th was a Saturday, so she asked softly:

"Natsume-kun, April 13th is a Saturday. Which session is that match of yours?"

"If it's the second or third session, I also want to go cheer for you."

Araki Yuai and Yasui Ryouto also said in unison:

"We're going too!"

Natsume Chikage was silent for a moment:

"…It's the first session."

The three were silent for a moment upon hearing this.

Schools only have half a day of classes on Saturday, and there is plenty of time to watch the match after noon.

It just so happens that Natsume Chikage's match is scheduled for the earliest session, perfectly missing it.

Not long after.

The four finished their meal.

Tsukishima Rin and Araki Yuai both intended to continue the "double date" plan—after all, it was just past seven, and it was still early to go home.

"Natsume-kun, Tsukishima-san, it's still early, do you want to wander around a bit more?"

As long as she could spend more time with Natsume-kun, Tsukishima Rin was of course ten thousand times willing, and she nodded with a smile:

"Okay."

Yasui Ryouto saw that Tsukishima Rin had no intention of leaving yet, and his eyes lit up:

"I can too!"

So.

The eyes of the three fell on Natsume Chikage in unison.

However, he hadn't answered yet—

The phone in his pocket suddenly rang.

It was a call from his younger sister.

【Natsume Chikage: Ruri? Why are you calling at this time?】

A younger sister's anxious voice came from the receiver, carrying obvious panic:

【Natsume Ruri: Brother, come back quickly!!】
