"Hanabi... why are you here?"
"Didn't Sakura-kun just ask that question?" Hanamaru Hanabi held a freshly cooked oden with one hand, then took out her mobile phone and waved it in front of him.
"I did ask... but I find it a bit unbelievable... so I thought I should confirm it again..."
Hanamaru Hanabi smiled at him adorably, "What's so unbelievable..."
Uesugi Sakura found himself a bit embarrassed to directly look at her smile, so he averted his gaze to the railing at the street corner:
"Because it's such a cold day, and you went home so early today, you should have taken a bath and gone to sleep by now. It's so late at night, the sky is dark, yet you came out to find me..."
In a blink, he saw the clock on her phone marked 00:10.
"Perhaps Hanabi just forgot something at school and came back to get it?"
Uesugi Sakura turned back to look at her again.
