It was natural for her face to turn red.

Rio quickly takes some distance from Miharu when he noticed that.

「AH....」

A small voice leaked from Miharu lips.

She was adjusting her clothes with her idle hand which was seemingly about to stretched toward him.

Just like that, Miharu slowly raised her line of sight to Rio’s face as if to peep on his expression with upturned eyes.

Her action will unintentionally tickle the protection instinct of men, though it’s cruel if it’s done when he’s aware of this, it doesn’t to be like this.

From this fact, he somehow guessed that Miharu have miniscule experience with men during her life so far, Rio judged that she might done that gesture unconsciously.

「........」

For some reason there was a long silence afterward between them.

During that time, a gentle breeze was blowing in their surrounding.

「Kushun」

Miharu suddenly let out a cute sneeze.

When Rio looked at her, his line of sight is changing to the stole which was wrapped on his neck.

「U~hm, since it’s cold.....」

Saying that, he removed the stole from his body and then wrapped it on Miharu’s neck.

「T-Thank you very much....」

「I-It’s nothing....」

The two was blushing awkwardly.

「It’s warm」

Miharu said that as she grasped the stole on the base of her neck with both hands and pulled it closer to her face.

「Come to think of it, Miharu-san didn’t have a muffler or stole right. It’ll become out of season very soon but, let’s buy it the next time we’re outing. Though that one is for men, please feel free to use it till that time」

「E, A, Yes. Is it really okay 」

「Yeah, I still have some left」

Rio’s answering as he’s secretly feeling embarassed.

But, since the sun just hanged on the edge of the horizon which caused their surroundings to rapidly become darker, Rio’s expression couldn’t be seen clearly by Miharu.

This silence went on for 10 seconds.

「A-Uhm」

Miharu slowly opened her lips.

「Y-Yes」

Rio’s straightening his posture.

「Uhm, Haruto-san, awhile ago....」

Though Miharu was about to probe something, her voice became so low at the second half.

The one metre long space between them became an invisible wall which interrupted Miharu’s voice.

「Miharu-san」

「Ah, No. It’s nothing」

Miharu swallowed the words that she was about to say while smiling at him.

「I, see」

「Yes. Let’s go back inside. Since it should be about the time for Masato-kun to be hungry」

「You’re right」

Rio agreed to her while unintentionally laughing with that remark.

「Come to think of it, Masato-kun said that he wanted to eat ramen but....」

「Well then, should we make it. Making an elaborate soup is difficult though. Ah, the ramen in this world is called as Kamutan」

The two then returned inside before their surroundings wrapped in darkness while unfolding such conversation.
