Tsukkomi-machi no Machino-san

Machino-san, a member of the swim team, frequently visits the Domino Club's room, which has me as its sole member, prior to her practice beginning. She is always launching jokes in a comedic exchange, and I find myself responding in kind. The playful repartee, humorous teasing, conversations filled with absurdity. . . and perhaps deeper emotions. Each day went by quickly, yet those summer afternoons seemed as though they could stretch on endlessly in that clubroom. However, with the conclusion of this summer, the dominoes connecting us will topple all at once.
