"Tsugu-chan, you can do anything right?"
"I can't say that I can do anything, but if you need help, I'll do what I can."
"Then, can you help me finish my art assignment?"
Currently, they were sitting together at Hazawa Coffee and enjoying their time together. Tsugumi was taking a break from her shift. More precisely, she was forced to rest and spend time with her girlfriend.
Hearing Kasumi's request, Tsugumi sipped her coffee thoughtfully. "What was Kasumi-chan's assignment?"
"I was told to make a painting with the theme of beauty, but I can only make half of it. So, can you come to my house to help?" Kasumi said as she attacked Tsugumi with a pleading look.
Because Tsugumi basically couldn't refuse someone's request, especially from her girlfriend, she agreed.
In the afternoon, they arrived at Kasumi's house. Tsugumi was welcomed by the Toyama family.
"Wait for me, I'll prepare it first," Kasumi said leaving Tsugumi who was currently sitting with Kasumi’s sister and mother.
"Thank you for coming Tsugumi-chan, Kasumi didn't force you to come here did she?" said Kasumi's mother in a worried tone.
"Ahaha, no really, I'm also free right now so I might as well help her,"
"Tsugumi-senpai, if I may know, why did you get to date Onee-chan?" this time it was Asuka's turn to ask with sparkling eyes, it seemed that she was very interested in hearing her sister's love story.
Tsugumi's face turned red, she didn't expect to be asked something like this. "Th-there's no special reason really, we just happened to like each other and we ended up dating,"
"Ehh, no fun, I thought Onee-chan would do something extraordinary just to express her feelings," Asuka said sullenly and looked disappointed with Tsugumi's answer.
"Tsugu-chan, I'm done here, let's go up to my room," Kasumi shouted from the second floor, giving Tsugumi a chance to 'escape' from possible embarrassing questions.
Upon entering Kasumi's room, she was immediately presented with an unfinished canvas. It showed a girl, whom she assumed to be Kasumi, holding another girl's hand, but the face of the girl had yet to be painted.
"So, what should I do, Kasumi-chan?"
"Just sit there, and show your best smile," Kasumi said with a serious face, a face she rarely showed except when she was really serious.
After a while of holding back a smile, Kasumi finally finished her painting. Kasumi immediately showed her painting to Tsugumi.
"Wow, that's really cool," said Tsugumi, who was amazed by the result. This was one of Kasumi's strengths that Tsugumi only now knew about.
"Ehehe, but all this is thanks to you too,"
"Eh? But all I did was sit still,"
"Nope. It's because of you that I was able to find something beautiful. Everything about you is very beautiful Tsugu-chan. So, there's no one else better suited for this than you," Kasumi said lightly as she flashed a smile.
Yes, it was things like this that made Tsugumi fall in love with her.
