Near the Hoshizaka Middle School, there is a park used by the kids in the neighbouring place to play. It is also one of the places Hina and Kaede played when she was in kindergarten and elementary school.
Hina's former house or it was still held in their family name. The distance was not too far away from the park. This place brings back many memories. She cast her gaze sideways, looking at her surroundings while sitting on the swing that seems small for her current self.
After waiting about ten minutes, Kaede, who seemed hesitant to enter the park, peeked inside, and their eyes met accidentally. Kaede opened her eyes wide, then waved her right hand awkwardly. Hina, whose heart stirred upon her arrival, stiffened her face. She forced herself to lift her mouth and nodded.
