“WH-WH-WHAT ARE YOU SAYING!? YOU'RE GIVING IT TO ME?!”

“Yeah”

“JUST LIKE THAT?!”

“Yep”

“You're not going to make me do something perverted as compensation for this treasure”

“Oi-Oi, Just who do you think I am? I'm not going to ask anything, just take it”

She looked really happy that she could have it but looked reluctant to take it

“But you worked so hard to get it. I can't just take it from you”

“Don't worry about that. You really wanted it right?”

“Yeah but-”

“Then it's yours”

“But it's your precious keychain”

I smiled and told

“I'd rather see you happy, than have that keychain”

She got flustered and her ears became bright red

“Take it as a Thank you and Sorry gift for everything that happened today”

“So I can really have it?”

“Yeah”

“And you won't ask for it back?”

“Of course not, I'm not that petty”

“I seriously won't give it back even if you asked!”

“It's yours from now on. You can do whatever you want to do with it”

Her blue eyes brightened up and her cheeks became red. She looked at the key chain in her hand and then looked at me with a big smile and said

“Thank you! I'll treasure it!”

Yeah, this is the face she should always have. Her smiling face suits her best. I'll just need to protect this smile from here on forth

As she was admiring the keychain, I looked at the time on my phone

“It's already this late? I didn't expect tha“

I looked at her and told

”Since my work here is done, I'll be going now Akatsuki-sa-”

“Rena”

“Hmm?”

“Call me Rena and I'll call you Yuuto”

She was a little red on the ears and was looking at me embarrassed. I smiled and told

“Sure Rena”

She blushed and while holding the keychain tightly she told

“B-Bye Yuuto, I'll see you tomorrow”

“Yeah, I'll see you too tomorrow”

I waved my hand and picked up my bags and started jogging down the path. I turned back and saw Rena holding the keychain with both hands, watching me leave

I looked up at the sky and said

"I'm looking forward for tomorrow"
