Epilogue
The end of February, when the exam was finally over.
Akari went to a cake shop with Miou and Natsuki.
She’s been here since Christmas Eve. She couldn't enter that day, but today she went into the store without waiting too long.
"Both Akari and Miou! Good work! You just wait for the result, right? I'm thrilled."
"How was Setoguchi-kun’s exam?"
Miou comes to Natsuki while holding a cup of tea.
“That's a bit too much for me to tell you! 'It's okay ...' he said in a cool way. I think it's okay if it's Yuu, but I'm stil worried! "
"That's right. It’s like I really want to know quickly, but also don't want to know it..."
"Miou and Akari are going to be OK. Absolutely! I guarantee it!"
Natsuki beat her chest and declared with a powerful voice.
Akari listens to the conversation between the two and took the sugar cubes in the sugar pot.
She dropped it in a cup of coffee.
"Ah, that's ... Akari. I've been worried a while ago ... How much are you going to put it in?"
Natsuki told her, "Eh?", and she raise her gaze.
Natsuki and Miou, sitting opposite, were watching Akari as if they were amazed.
Looking into the cup, a pile of sugar cubes slowly sinks into the coffee.
[That, how many did I put in...? ]
Usually, when she eats cake, she doesn't need sugar in her coffee.
When she put her mouth in the cup, it was so sweet.
"Akari ... what's wrong? Today ... you are a little strange !?"
"Ah, yes. I need some milk."
Akari remembered and reached for the milk pot in the middle of the table.
She poured it into the cup.
Natsuki leaned on to see her face after looking at Miou.
"Maybe ... Did something happen with Mochita?"
Akari's hand trying to lift the cup stopped.
The Valentine's Day came to her mind and her cheeks turned red.
On that day, Souta rushed into the art room and suddenly embraced her.
Akari was breathing in his arms with her eyes wide open.
The sound of Souta's heart and her own heart are also loud.
They sat down as if they lost their strength, and couldn't move for a while.
"What the hell happened? Mochita, what did he do?"
“Nacchan, calm down!''
Miou soothes Natsuki, who is irrigating her head.
While listening to the voices of these two people, Akari looked at the fondant chocolate.
The smile seemed to melt like a chocolate inside.
[Delicious. I want to come again. This time…with Souta-kun]
I could not wait for that day.
* * + * +
Akari was standing beside the main gate of the university on the day of the announcement of the acceptance of the University of Art.
Clouds in the sky are scattered and the bright sunshine spreads.
She squinted her eyes, thinking that it was spring light.
"I'm sorry, I’m late!"
While saying so, a smile spills on Souta's figure running out of breath.
When he reached her side, Souta looked nervously at Akali.
"Result ... how was it?"
Akari lifted the thick Envelope Guide to the front of her face.
Upon seeing it, Souta exhaled deeply while reaching for his knees.
Until he came here, he was very worried.
"I’m glad‥"
After having been relieved, Souta stares at Akari who looks straight.
With a really happy face.
"Congrats"
As soon as she was told that, the back of her chest became warm, and Akari hugged the envelope.
As she stepped one step forward, she touch her head on Souta's shoulder.
"Uh, eh, that ... Aka ...!?"
She relaxed her mouth while listening to Souta's snarling voice.
"Thank you ... Souta ..."
"I'm sorry ... now ... a little ... no!"
Akari laughs at Souta, who was trying to hide his red face with his arms.
Souta, who has dismissed his arm, has an embarrassed face.
After that, he looked sad.
"From now on ... I can't meet you so much anymore..."
"Eh‥‥?"
"Ah, no ... we graduated ...and our universities are also different..."
"If you want to meet, we can always meet, right?"
When she answered with her tilted head, he hesitated just for a moment.
After that, he looked at Akari with a serious face.
"...... Would you like to meet me?"
Akari turned her eyes which was moisturized by heat slightly nod after hearing Souta said that.
"Um‥"
Souta wraps his hand around her hand hesitantly.
The heat spread, and Akari smiled with her cheeks reddened.
"Hey, Souta-kun"
"…What is it?"
"For me..."
Stretch a little bit and whisper at Soda's ear.
『...-kun is good enough. 』*
(*TN: 『Am I not good enough? 』-> 『…-kun is enough. 』
╰(*´︶`*)╯)
The answer for their 『Love』 is-.
