The morning sunshine was bright, clearing away the traces of last night's rain; not a droplet remained on the streets. If students were to push aside the grass, they would still see soil drenched by the rainwater. But that had nothing to do with Ayatsuki Ayaka, who stayed back at the Kendo club.
She had now grown accustomed to slipping into the Kendo club after everyone else had left to watch Aozawa practice Sword Dao, relishing their time alone. After Aozawa finished practicing, she would thoughtfully hand him vegetable juice. The scene reminded her of a wife bringing a bento to her hardworking husband. Just thinking about it made Ayatsuki Ayaka feel so sweet inside that the corners of her mouth curled upwards, her cute dimples naturally appearing on her cheeks.
When Aozawa came out of the changing room, she hurriedly rose to her feet.
"Aozawa, good morning!" Ayatsuki Ayaka rushed forward, eager to offer him the vegetable juice to quench his thirst.
