"Hey, let's go somewhere together."

The station I was supposed to get off at is getting further and further away while Tachibana is still looking down and still keeping her silent, not letting go of the sleeve she had grabbed.

"Where are we going?"

"Anywhere is fine."

"Is it no good?"

Tachibana gazes up at me while holding my sleeve.

I couldn't refuse her if she stared at me with such eyes.

We had then decided to get off to the last station as that station is close to the shopping district.

The station was surrounded by shopping malls, electronics stores, and other large facilities.

"Let's go shopping!"

At Tachibana's request, we left the station and headed for a nearby shopping mall.

The sun is beginning to set.

The rain had stopped when we are still at the train.

People passing by were not using their umbrellas anymore but Tachibana walked in front of me skipping along while holding my umbrella even though it was not raining.

She is so innocent.

Tachibana is bright that It's dazzling being next to her.

Even though a few moments ago she was so silent on the train but when we arrived here, she suddenly became energetic.

I was a little excited as this is the first time I've come this far after school especially with a girl.

I'm also thrilled as if I'm doing something wrong as I rarely come to a place like this which is a lot different from my everyday life.

When we arrived at the mall, I was surprised at its size.
