Chapter 103: The photo album of Memories
"These are all photos from when I was in Elementary School, and some are from Middle School..."
Aragaki Takiya explained as he flipped through the photos. During this time, he would explain some of the people in the photos to Yukinoshita Ayane. Ayane had heard the previous world's Aragaki Takiya talk about some of them before, so she began to cross-reference the people he was describing with those in her memories.
Sure enough, most of them matched up, but... "Hey, this boy is the first member of your sister's club. He's a very good person. We often helped each other out in Middle School."
Flipping through the photo album, Aragaki Takiya suddenly pointed to a photo and said, which was a photo of him and Hachiman Hikigaya.
"Hikigaya, the first member?"
Hearing her father say this, Yukinoshita Ayane suddenly felt a surge of discomfort in her heart. She really wanted to tell him that he was the first member of the Service Club, but her reason suppressed that thought.
"And this one, this is Hikigaya Komachi, Hachiman's younger sister. She's the sister of the boy I just told you about. We had a very good relationship. Although Hachiman and I were in different classes in high school, we still stayed in touch."
As if opening a floodgate of words, Aragaki Takiya began to enthusiastically tell Yukinoshita Ayane the stories in the photo album, including the people and some interesting things that happened during that time. Yukinoshita Ayane listened like she was hearing a story, making no sound but listening with great interest.
Finally, the sound of the two chatting attracted Aragaki Moeha, who was nearby. After hearing what her father was talking about, she also became interested, and her attention gradually began to drift away from the game.
"Eriri-sister, let's go over there and listen to Brother tell stories."
After simply clearing the game level, Aragaki Moeha couldn't hold back and suggested as she put down the game controller.
"Listen to stories? That works too, it's a good time for a break. Let's go together then..."
Hearing Moeha's suggestion, Eriri also quite agreed. She simply put down the game controller as well and then took Moeha to sit next to Aragaki Takiya.
Well, she sat next to Aragaki Takiya, while Aragaki Moeha sat on her lap.
"Hmm? Eriri, are you guys not playing games anymore?"
Seeing Eriri sitting next to him, Aragaki Takiya asked curiously.
"Well, because Moeha is interested in this, I also came prepared to listen."
In fact, Eriri herself was also very interested, but she couldn't save face, so she had to use Aragaki Moeha as a shield.
"Is that so? Then come and listen together."
Hearing Eriri say this, Aragaki Takiya didn't mind. He continued at the same pace as before, starting to tell the stories of what happened in the photos, but Yukinoshita Ayane, who was listening on the side, was unable to be as focused as before.
Her attention was drawn to Eriri beside her.
To be precise, it wasn't Eriri as a person who attracted her, but Eriri's actions that caught her attention.
Yukinoshita Ayane disliked having women other than family members around her father.
As it happened, Aragaki Moeha was her father's sister, so the Blonde Girl in front of her did not fall within that category.
But Eriri, who was on the side, didn't know this, because she had discovered many familiar people in Aragaki Takiya's photo album.
She couldn't quite remember where she had seen them, but she was certain she had seen them before.
Finally, as Aragaki Takiya flipped through the album, a photo was exposed before Eriri's eyes.
The photo was a group shot of three people. In the middle was a beautiful Blonde Little Girl, whom Eriri recognized at a glance as herself when she was a child.
And next to her was Aki Tomoya... and one more person!
Comparing it with the little boy in the photo, Eriri's mind gradually became clear.
This little boy should be Aragaki Takiya, but why does he have no memory of this at all?
Moreover, she had also flipped through the roster at the back of the graduation photo, and Aragaki Takiya's name was not there at all.
Then there was probably only one answer left: Aragaki Takiya transferred schools halfway through, and she had forgotten about it.
Thinking of this, Eriri couldn't help but feel some discomfort. she didn't expect that she and Aragaki Takiya had both forgotten this friendship.
"By the way, Brother, is this Blonde Little Girl Eriri-sister?"
Aragaki Moeha, who was on the side, suddenly asked after noticing that photo.
At the very moment Aragaki Moeha's voice fell, Eriri's attention also instantly focused on Aragaki Takiya.
She was very curious, how would the other party answer?
Would it be a simple denial, or saying he didn't remember? Or... "Ah? This one? Of course it's Eriri-sister."
Looking at the photo Moeha was pointing to, Aragaki Takiya said with a smile.
