“Sorry, I’m going to go to the restroom for a bit”
“Ah, I’m going too”
The two of them went to the restroom after finishing lunch. Hmm, it is just the right time huh.
“Yae, shall we go”
“Nn, let’s go”
We leave that spot while the two of them are not around. Our aim is, of course, to let Renya and Nishikida-san be by themselves.
“Lucky huh”
“Yeah. It was a life-saver since I was thinking of forcefully separating from them in the worst-case”
In our initial plans, we intended to make the two of them walk in front, and when their attention strays from us, who are behind, we separate from them. Although it is not natural this way, it is a breeze, so we went with it.
“All that is left is to drop them a message huh”
“Me too”
“In that case, I will send to it Renya”
“I’ll send to Mutsumi”
As for the contents of the message……that we went off to see the pandas, but don’t come after us, that to gather in front of the entrance at about 3 pm, and that we will cheer on for the development of their romance, I guess that will do. I suppose Yae, who is beside me, probably wrote a similar content as well.
“Now then, we dropped them a message, shall we go”
“Let’s go to the pandas”
“Of course”
Now then, now then, I wonder if the relationship of those two will have changed the next time we meet. I am very much looking forward to it!

“The pandas were adorable”
“They were lovely huh. Especially the young ones”
“I know. They were extremely adorable”
We finished seeing the pandas and head to the gift shop. Because it is close to the pandas’ enclosure, there are all types of panda goods placed inside.
“But I wanted to see more”
“It cannot be helped since there are tons of people. Or shall we go another round?”
“Uun, it’s fine”
Despite it being lunchtime, there were a lot of people in front of the pandas. We followed the employees’ instructions and queued up to reduce the congestion, but it was extremely long. We spent over 20 minutes queuing, but we managed to see them for merely 1 to 2 minutes. I understand that there are also people waiting behind, but as I thought, she wanted to see more huh.
“Now then, the gift shop is filled with pandas, but which one are you going to buy?”
“Uーn, ah”
Perhaps she found something, Yae starts walking by herself. In front of her eyes is a……hoodie?
“Panda hoodie”
“Are you buying this?”
“Pajamas-use”
I think a hoodie is not necessary for the coming season though. Well, if the person herself says she is going to buy it then there is nothing for me to say huh.
“Do you need anything else?”
“I want to buy them but……I have no money”
“I will not give you pocket money even if you look at me with such eyes”
“Muu”
I manage the money because I am primarily the one who goes grocery shopping. I basically give Yae pocket money from that every month.
“I’ll bear with it”
“Please do that”
◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆
After Yae bought the panda hoodie, we went around to see the giraffes, the elephants, the hippopotamus, and it approached the gathering time. I wonder if Renya did well?
“Ah, sorry. I am going to the restroom over there for a bit”
“Nn, I got it”
“Please do not go anywhere on your own”
“Of course”
I say that, and I leave Yae and head towards the bathroom. Yae will not go off with suspicious people, but when she finds something that sparks her curiosity, she drifts towards it, so I reminded her just in case. By no means am I thinking that Yae is a child, alright?
“Thanks for waiting……Yae?”
I wonder if I triggered a flag or something because I was thinking about something like that. What awaited me, who returned from the toilet, were
“Just come, didn’t you hear what I say!!”
the figure of a man who is raising his voice and
“Stop it!”
Yae, who struggles desperately.
