Aww that's cute. I didn't think she'd get a kiss though, maybe next time..?

It's sad that they won't be able to see each other that often anymore once she moved away. :(
Kyūshū is at the southern end of Japan. Depending on where exactly they are, Chiba and Kyūshū are roughly over 1,000 - 1,200 km apart. I wonder how long that journey would have been by train in the 1920s.

And I wonder how old Midori is. They wrote the minimum age for marriage was 15. But did they actually have children with 15?

Good question. This chapter takes place in the Summer of Taishou 12 (1923), where Yuzuki is 15-and-a-half (see timeline). Midori must be around the same age, so she is at most 16.

It is perfectly possible to have children at 15-16, of course. Lots of girls have done it, and many even survived...

This chapter kind of felt anticlimactic. Didn't MC just recently tell her he'd take her wherever she wanted to go? So why the heck isn't he going with her right now?!

Correction: I was wrong above. Yuzuki is born on 31 December, 1908, so according to modern reckoning she is only 14-and-a-half in the summer of 1923.
