Chapter 65
Before he knew it, the years had passed...Ryosaku was now in his third year of junior high school.
Even after graduating from K Elementary School, Ryosaku and Lisa Tanaka's relationship continued.
And...
Even after Ryosaku entered junior high school, he visited Lisa's house to teach her homework, and Lisa came to visit Ryosaku's house...
Their sweet days were like real lovers.
However, Lisa only served as an "assistant" and "substitute" until Mieko and Ryosaku were reunited, and she never sought anything more than a genuine lover from Ryosaku.
Still, Lisa was happy.
Lisa's heart is healed just by being with Ryosaku...
She feels a strange feeling, as if all her worries and sorrows are blown away.
For Lisa, the scenery she saw with Ryosaku was as calm and comfortable as a dream, as if she were in another world.
(I'm sure...this is the scenery Mieko-chan was looking at.Right now...I'm very happy...Just being like this with Ryo-chan is fun...I'm happy...)

Due to her father's circumstances, Lisa also has to move to her father's home in Hokkaido.
At this time, Lisa was in fifth grade in elementary school... Coincidentally, on that day when Ryosaku got to know Mieko in the schoolyard... Lisa was watching Mieko and Ryosaku right next to them...
She was the same age as Ryosaku that day.
On the morning of their farewell, Ryosaku met Lisa just before she left, and...they kissed for the first time in their lives.
(Mieko-chan, I'm sorry. But I... I worked hard until today and continued to support your beloved Ryo-chan. So even if I kiss Ryo-chan... it's okay to kiss him...? Forgive me. Well... Mieko-chan, isn't it okay...?)
Lisa moved to Kamishihoro Town, Hokkaido, an agricultural area where crops such as potatoes and sugar beets are actively produced.
Ryosaku promised Lisa that he would meet her someday... and hugged her tightly again, as she seemed to be reluctant to leave...
He was sad to say goodbye to Lisa, who looked so lonely, as if to get her hair pulled back.
