“Tanaka~, do you want to go skiing in winter? Let’s go ski.”
It wasn’t that long ago, but it feels nostalgic right now.
It only happened a few times, but I’m reminded of the after-parties in a bar.
“Haven’t you ever snowboarded before?”
I have, with my friends when I was in university.
“Then it should be okay. Naito! Add Tanaka to the reservation!”
“Gladly!”
Hey hang on! I didn’t say I was going!
And the first time I did it, my muscles hurt so much I couldn’t move.
“What are you talking about? A seeker wouldn’t have muscle pain like that. It’s not like before, you don’t have the body of an average person anymore. You can be a little dynamic too, and it wouldn’t be a problem.”
Really?
“Yes. But don’t fall as a joke! If you do it in a dynamic way, everyone around you will die.”
Who said that’ll happen!?
“Eh? But you’re always slipping.”
…Really? That’s kind of shocking.
“Really. You’re always acting serious, and when you throw in a joke, it bombs.”
My god!?
“I don’t think it’s a big deal.”
…Yes.
I accept what Chisato says.
I’m not trying to get a laugh or bomb or anything, and I’m not going to change anything, so whatever.
“Chisato is going there for the first time, so look after her.”
What do you mean by that?
“Yeah! I can do it!”
“Really? Then let’s go hit on some girls, Tanaka.”
What’s that all of a sudden? Hey.
“Stop! We’re going too!”
“It’s fine. Seekers don’t tend to meet a lot of people. Naito caught one last trip too, so it’s not all bad. Hajime wasn’t so lucky though.”
“Don’t spread that around!”
Chisato looks at Hajime with disdain.
Should she look at her brother like that? I guess she has to.
Would I be looked at with those eyes if I also hit on someone?
“So? People feel free in the ski slopes in the winter.”
No, I…
“No? You might find a girlfriend.”
I guess I will.
I feel eyes of disdain pointed this way, but surely they’re for Takeshi behind me.
After that nostalgic dream, I wake up.
