Chapter 69 - Dorothy Sayers or Agatha Christie

Ryou begins his day like usually he did, wake up in the morning, morning exercise, preparing breakfast, wash his body, and go to school.

Nothing different from what he usually did. Except, today, once again, he got another letter on his locker. He counted and it's about 3 letters, he always comes to the meeting place like what the letter said and gave them a reply.

He hid the letters in his bag and proceed to go to his classroom.

"Morning!" he said to his friends.

"Morning Ryou-kun."

"Hello, Ryou!"

"Sup Ryou!"

They replied to his greeting.

Ringo: "Morning Ryou!"

Ryuji: "Yo!"

Honami: "Hello Ryou!"

Fumino: "Morning Ryou-kun."

His best friend greets him. Yeah, those 4 people are his best friends since he enters this school, they usually together in school, even outside school.

Honami sits in front of him, Ringo on his right side while Fumino and Ryuji are on his left and behind him. He remembers very well when the first time all of them gathered together and forming this group.

Honami: "Any letters in your locker?" She asked curiously.

Ryou: "..."

Ringo: "His silence must be a yes then."

Ryuji: "That's Ryou for you, even I never got that many letters in my entire high school life."

Ryou: "But you got them right?"

Ryuji: "Not as much as you, after sports festival I'm sure it was even more than before."

Honami: "Must be hard to be popular."

Ryou: "Look who's talking, a few days ago someone asking me to accompany her to reject a guy."

Honami: "You said you will not talk about that!"

Ryou: "You're the first one who talks about that thing."

Ringo: "Now now.. Have you guys done with your homework?"

Fumino: "I am."

Ryou: "As expected of our Miss Diligent."

Fumino: "I never knew I have that nickname, since when?"

Ryou: "Just now."

Ryuji: "You really never stop. Haah..."

The first lesson started, they focused on what the teacher said.

Lunch break, Ryou goes to the near gymnasium building, he was asked to go there. A girl he doesn't know waiting for him, and like what he usually did, he always reply to them smoothly so they will not too hurt. At least he suggests them to became his friend.

Back to the classroom.

Ryuji: "Done?"

Ryou: "Yeah, I hope I don't hurt her too much."

Ringo: "At least you want to become her friend, like what you usually did."

Fumino: "So, instead of only rejecting them, Ryou-kun always asks them to became his friend?"

Ringo: "Yeah, he did."

Ryou: "Okay, stop talking about me. Where is Honami?"

Fumino: "The same as you, she said she was asked to come to near special building."

Just after they talked about her, the person in question came from the door.

Honami: "Haahh... Hi guys."

Ryou: "So?"

Honami: "Yeah, I reject him."

..

Back from school, he finished his business behind the school building.

On the way to his dormitory, he met with someone he remembered supposed to be Hiyori Shiina from class 1C, a beautiful girl with mid-back length silver hair that has black ribbons and light purplish eyes.

He just wants to go past her and buy a coffee in the vending machine.

Hiyori: "Um.. are you Hiroki Ryou-kun?"

Ryou: "Yeah, excuse me did I know you?"

Hiyori: "Ah sorry, I'm Hiyori Shiina from class 1C. Nice to meet you."

Ryou: "Nice to meet you too."

Hiyori: "Sorry to call you so suddenly, I just curious about the one who beat our student council president on the last event in the sports festival."

Ryou: "Almost everyone new to me said the same thing, was that really the effect of the last event?"

Hiyori: "Did you know that the three of you really caught all of spectator's attention that time?"

Ryou: "Really? I never knew that. Please sit down." Ryou invited her to sit.

Hiyori: "Yeah, and I heard your academic ability is good too."

Ryou: "Thank you?"

Hiyori: "Why the question? Oh just curious, did you read a book too?"

Ryou: "Occasionally."

Hiyori: "Really? Did you read a mystery novel as well?"

Ryou: "Just mainstream works from Agatha Christie and Raymond Chandler."

Hiyori: "You should read Dorothy Sayers works too then. I'm sure you will like it, the story and sequels are good."

Ryou: "I've heard about her but never read her books, maybe I'll try it later if I have free time."

Hiyori: "You should! Ah, sorry if I'm too excited, I'm always like this when talking about books."

Ryou: "Don't worry, everyone has their own hobbies."

Hiyori: "Hehehe... thank you."

Ryou: "Oh, I think we should go back to dormitory now."

Hiyori: "Let's go..."

While walking, Hiyori explains a few books from Dorothy Sayers to Ryou.

Hiyori: "We should go to the library someday, I will show you the books from Dorothy."

Ryou: "I have no problem with that."

And after that, they exchanged phone numbers so she will easily tell him about the books.

'Looks like I met a bibliophile'

They said goodbye to each other, Hiyori back to her room, but Ryou wants to grab something from the convenience store.

Walking towards the convenience store, he met with some classmates.

Ryou: "Yo Tetsuya, Ao."

Tetsuya: "Hello Ryou."

Ao: "Sup, Ryou! Going to the convenience store?"

Ryou: "Yeah, need to buy something."

Tetsuya: "We just met Ringo there."

Ryou: "Okay then, see you later."

Ao: "Bye..."

In the convenience store, he could see Ringo buy a few things.

Ryou: "Ringo!"

Ringo: "Oh, Ryou. What are you doing?"

Ryou: "Need to buy something, I miss the taste of ramen cup."

Ringo: "Don't eat it too much, it's not good for your health."

Ryou: "Yeah mom, I knew that."

He was replied with a few hits to his right hand.

Ringo: "About Ryuji, maybe I'll try to accept him."

Ryou: "That's good then, as long as you're ready."

Ringo: "He is a good guy."

Ryou: "Yeah, I knew that."

Ringo: "I will pay first, I'll be waiting in front of the store."

Ryou: "Okay."

After paying his things, Ryou meets with Ringo and walking towards the dormitory.

Ryou: "It's been a few months after we enrolled to this school."

Ringo: "Yeah, who knows the competition in this school was so high. Each class compete with each others."

Ryou: "Well, like I said, as long as we work together as a team everything will be alright."

They keep talking until arrived in the dormitory.
