It's been a week.
The days of boredom continued.
I lost sight of Mia in the classroom.
I haven't even heard from Mei Qin yet.
I don't even have an invitation email from Castle Field, where my club is busy.
There was nothing that seemed to progress even after Eda reported it.
Time passed among them, and Eda became a brilliant student chairman.
As originally planned, Mia served as backup attorney and held the chairmanship by an overwhelming number of votes.
I don't know what kind of interaction there was between Eda and Mia.
But Mia was hotly asserting to all the students for no reason that Eda deserved the chairman.
And the final exam of the first semester was imminent.
Of course, I can't get myself into studying, and it's visible that the results will be scattered.
I haven't even been in a club lately.
Follow home to escape at the same time after school.
It's Friday.
The chimes are ringing and the class is all over.
Other students have no clubs in front of exams, but I leave the classroom earlier than those students.
It almost ran to the lifting mouth.
I took my top off and tried to put my shoes in the dumpster.
That's when I realized. There's a white note in the dumpster.
"Huh...?
I'll hold it in my hand and look behind it, but there was no sender's name.
It doesn't have a heart seal on it, or a razor planted on it.
Carefully opened the envelope and card-sized paper came out of it.
'After the exam, I want to get rid of it properly. Mia'
That's all it said in a beautiful letter.
It is definitely the letter Mia. I've seen it several times, so I'm pretty sure.
Eda wasn't doing anything.
By the time Mia and I were able to have a direct dialogue, things were moving forward.
I felt my heart pounding when I looked behind the card. [M]
There was a small heart seal there, reluctantly, but with a number of stickers.
It doesn't have any characters in particular.
But it turns out Mia didn't completely lose her feelings for me.
I take care of that card.
I called you right away, but I missed Mia.
But then the point that Mia put out this card is gone.
We should be patient here until after the exam.
I almost skipped to the bus stop.
Along the way, I got a call.
No way, Mia. And I thought, but it wasn't.
"Ah, Lina..."
The target was Lina, Ogi's sister.
"Is that Okiya?
"Yeah, but? What's the matter with you?
Stop skipping and I walk.
"Well... your brother hasn't come home yet"
"Huh? Really?
It's almost two weeks now.
Is it true that Oki hasn't returned from his training?
"I thought you knew..."
No, I'm not in the same grade, and I'm not in a club.
"Really... me, I don't know what to do"
"Have you been training for so long?
"None."
Li Nai's voice sounded quite worried from across the phone.
You must have called me right after school. [M]
"Are you still in Ichikura?
"Yes, I am."
"Can't I see you somewhere?
I took it for no reason. [M]
We met at a coffee shop near the station.
That was a coffee shop named 'Coffee Honey'.
Quite sinister in the store opposite the cuteness of the name.
"Ah, Okaya."
When I walked into the store, Li Nai, who was sitting at the table, raised her hand.
It's a small shop with five counter seats and two table seats for four.
Lina was no longer in uniform.
I guess I went home once. A black t-shirt and jeans.
My hair was the same twin tail I had when I met before.
"Excuse me, suddenly"
When I asked the clerk for an iced coffee, Li Nai raised her head.
"No, fine... I can't believe he's not back yet"
"Yeah, I got a couple of emails to make sure you're okay."
"Right."
Honestly, it didn't matter.
I want to be a person who can support Oki if he's going down the path of training.
But Lina, she doesn't want to either.
"What are your parents saying?
"Tell him to leave me alone. If he's not dead, it doesn't matter."
I somehow figured out why Linochan was so firm.
Rather than that, I guess I had to hold on.
I'm going to be a good wife.
"But I was worried... that I would be expelled from school."
"Well, I guess so"
"Um... I can only ask Mr. Okaya to do this."
"What?"
Girls middle school students who look at me with a serious eye.
Still unfinished young faces and developed bodies.
Its unbalanced feel is unusually exciting.
"Will you go to Mount Nomiya to pick up your brother?
"Huh?"
Silence.
An iced coffee was placed on the table, ordered as I had anticipated that silence.
It would be old jazz flowing quietly.
And the smell of grinding drifting coffee.
The cigarette smoke another customer is smoking builds up in the sky.
"Am I going?
"Oh, of course, I'm with you all the way... but the place your brother's training is a place where women can't go in"
He said Oki went to Mount Nomiya to isolate himself from all secularism and become a Immortal.
Does it keep its distance from what also boils desire physically?
"I know it's an annoying thing to do... because I don't want to leave you alone like this"
"Well, maybe..."
"Ehara-san and Tangda came yesterday worried."
I see.
Even after they heard from me, they went to Oki's house worried.
Naturally, I haven't been to school in almost two weeks.
"If you two haven't come back yet, we'll go with you..."
"Then you two should go."
"I don't like it."
Li Nan with her neck.
Twin tails arced.
"Those two aren't bad people either... thank you... my eyes look at me..."
"What are you doing, those guys!
I accidentally shouted out loud.
But I didn't have any customers to show me how to behave.
Everyone is a calm guest, an adult.
"Well... Okaya-san is safe..."
What about that?
I haven't really figured myself out lately.
Instead, it might be me, not Oki, who should be trained.
"Ok...... let's go together"
"Thank you"
Li Nai looked at me with a full smile in tears in her eyes.
My heart bounced, but so did my son.
I knew I was going to need training.
