――――

The childhood friend I reunited with had become a beautiful, refined, and charming young woman.

"It's been a while, Hayato."

"Haruki... is that you?"

When Hayato reunited with his childhood friend, who he used to play in the mud with back in their rural hometown, there was no trace left of the tomboyish, bossy kid he once thought was a boy. Instead, she had transformed into a graceful and charming Yamato Nadeshiko who could make anyone turn their head—but that was just her outward facade. Only in front of Hayato would she drop the act and revert to her old boorish self, reacting just as unrefinedly as she did back then. And the way she interacted with him, her personal space, was exactly the same.

"You're sitting cross-legged with your socks off... I can see things."

"Do you want to see?"

"No, I don't!"

"Then don't look. Or... oh, I get it?"

"Damn it, it's not like that!"

"Fufufu."

Being treated that way made him flustered and annoyed, so he tried treating her like a girl, which led to an unexpected reaction...

The countryside and the city.

A boy and a girl.

Their hearts and bodies have changed.

Yet unchanging feelings and promises.

Furthermore, there are reunions and new encounters with his sister's best friend, whom he parted ways with in their hometown, and a girl from the gardening club who grows vegetables. And then—

This is a story that begins one summer, about that childhood friend and the gradual bridging of the distance and time that separated them.
