Hiiragi-chan said .
“It’s already late, you know?”
However, her voice was tinged with a bit of happiness . The first time I went to her house was around this time, so I think it’s a bit too late to be giving warnings .
“Can I head over?”
When I repeated myself, she immediately replied with a yes .
“Seiji-kun, you’re such a rebellious child . ”
She spoke teasingly, but after saying see you later, she hung up the call . I prepared myself and left my room . There, I was found by Sana who had called for me to come .
“Ah, Nii-san, where are you going?”
“Just going to play around at night . ”
“Just because tomorrow is Saturday? Such a delinquent! W-who are you going to be hanging out with…?”
“It doesn’t matter, right?”
“…What about the DVD watch part with Sana——”
“Let’s do it some other time . ”

I waved my hand as I descended down the stairs and left the house . Biking during this season means you’re met with a cold wind . It’s super cold…
When I made it to Hiiragi-chan’s apartment, it was just in time for Hiiragi-chan to arrive as well .
“Good work . ”
Once she saw me, she ran over and hugged me . Hmm? She’s already using the scarf that we gave her .
“Fuwaan, Seiji-kun… I got past the bulk of it… I think I can finally relax for a bit . ”
“I see . That’s nice . Thanks for the hard work . ”
Maybe since it’s been a while since we’ve hugged like this, Hiiragi-chan didn’t let go at all .
“Wait, we’re outside you know?”
“Ah . T-that’s right…”
There isn’t anyone else, and since it was dark in the parking lot, even if there was anyone they probably won’t recognize us .
I helped her carry her belongings and we entered her room together . Even though she’s busy with work, her room was still clean .
“Amazing… If I was busy with work, I’m sure I would have had some laundry or dirty dishes left over . However, there’s none of that…”
“Ehen . But Seiji-kun, rather than that, aren’t you currently living at home?”
Ah, whoops .
“Aah… Umm, I’m just imagining myself living alone . ”
Hiiragi-chan didn’t seem to be too curious about it .

After sitting on the sofa, and randomly browsing through some channels on the television,
“Haruksan, thanks for the scarf . I’m going to use it a lot . ”
“Well, after Rei-chan talked to me, I panicked a bit… I just ended up too excited… and then I hand knitted the scarf…”
I told Hiiragi-chan that Rei-chan knows about our relationship .
“Yeah… It’s certainly worth confiding in her… she seems precocious and her suggestions are really mature . ”
Well, she is twenty on the inside .
“Natsumi had also tried to stop me… telling me that hand knitting something would be too heavy or something . ”
I don’t understand… that’s what the difficult expression Hiiragi-chan had seemed to say .
It’s probably that the intent would be heavy, not in some physical sense .
“Eh? Hand knitted, heavy…?”
Wouldn’t it be fine if you were giving it to your lover…? Huh? Is there something Hiiragi-chan and I aren’t getting?
“I-I know right! It’s not heavy! I’ll tell Natsumi next time . ”
“Ah— Umm, Sensei!”
“Y-yes!? … Rather, it’s not Sensei but Haruksan, right!?”
She poked my cheek with her finger .
“Umm… Here! I forgot to give you this…”

I pulled out the present from my pocket . It was a luxurious black box, small enough to fit in the palm of my hand .
Hiiragi-chan widened her eyes .
“Eeeh? But, I already got the scarf today…?”
“Yeah . That was from the three of us . That is that . This is, just from me…”
With that, Hiiragi-chan finally looked at the box that I brought out . When I opened the small box, the brand name silver ring that I bought earlier appeared .
If I think about it being the birthday of someone precious to me, I really don’t feel this is too expensive . Coming from a more mature side of me that is . However, if it is from a high schooler, this would probably be pretty expensive .
“This is…”
Hiiragi-chan got stuck with her words . I was scared of her reaction, so I couldn’t look at her face directly . It’s pretty serious, so you have to buy something at least this expensive! It isn’t out of the question for her to say something like that . For a woman… even someone like Hiiragi-chan who doesn’t pay attention to brands that much, would 100% know of this brand . I also don’t know very much about designs a woman might like, so there’s still the possibility of her not liking it… I spoke with the employee a lot, but… apparently there are a lot of different personal preferences…
“This is amazing…”
I looked at Hiiragi-chan, who was speaking with a teary voice, and found tears in her eyes .
“… Which finger?”
I picked up the ring and took Hiiragi-chan’s left hand . I then put it over her ring finger . It was perfect fit .
“Happy birthday, Haruksan . ”
Buwaah, Hiiragi-chan started to cry .
“This is so surprising…”
She held me and patted me on the head . Hiiragi-chan was still crying tears of happiness by my ears .
“That’s a relief, for you to like it this much . ”
“Of course, I’d be happy… even with the scarf, I was super happy…”
I wiped her tear away with a finger and gave her a gentle kiss .
As if to express her feelings, Hiiragi-chan jumped at the first kiss . The room should still be pretty cold, and yet my face was on fire, and strangely hot .
After having a kiss that felt like it might make our lips go swollen, Hiiragi-chan embarrassingly whispered into my ear .
“I want to make today… even more special… Seiji-kun, I want…”
When I tried to look her in the eye, she quickly averted her gaze .
“… Yeah . I get it . ”
We didn’t need to keep talking to each other . I carried Hiiragi-chan in a princess carry and brought her to the bedroom .
“I-I’m heavy . Let me down, Seiji-kun…”
“It’s okay . ”
I gently set her down on the bed and we kissed again .
“I’ll take them off, okay?”
“~”
I could hear Hiiragi-chan gulp .
It was dimly lit, but I could tell her face was completely red . I could also easily tell that she nodded in affirmation .
