”Thank you very much! We look forward to seeing you again! “

By the way, yesterday was a tough day. A lot of things happened…

I guess Kana told Karen my location. After that, I got a lot of LINE-message from Karen. There was so much…

I’m sorry to say that even though I got too many notifications, I left her alone from that point on.

What the heck are you doing to me, Kana…

Well, I can’t see her anyway because I’m working part-time right now, but I’m sure it’s going to be great. It must be…

”Welcome! 　How many people are there?　Yes, let me show you to your seats!”

But seriously, what am I going to do on Monday?

I have no intention of admitting it myself, but I’m already completely exposed.

Sayaka is no exception.

Yesterday’s field trip made me sure of it.

I felt it so much that it hurt…

”Hmm, you seem to have gotten used to it already. As expected of you, Kazama!”

”No, I’m not used to it yet. But thanks to you, Hirose-san, you’ve helped me a lot. Thank you very much!”

”Anyway, what do you think about this?”

Hm?　

”What?　Are you wearing it right away?”

I gave her an early birthday present during my lunch break just now since it’s going to be quite a while before I see her again.

She’s overjoyed, so I thought she was completely acting and simply being thankful.

She’s really wearing it already…

”Geez, it’s obvious. Of course, I’m going to wear something this nice right away. You have good taste, Kazama! Did you pick it out yourself for me?”

”Well, I asked my sister for advice. I’m glad you like it.”

That’s a lie. I picked it out myself.

I just felt it would be weird to say it out loud…

Also, after all, She gave me a pretty nice gift for fighting off the guy who was hitting on her the other day. I had to choose something reasonable, too.

Anyway, I gave her a pair of earrings.

”Really? I’ll probably wear them from now on.”

”Ahaha, that’s good…”

She’s really overreacting…

She’s a good girl. I don’t feel bad, even if she’s acting.

She probably won’t be wearing it the next time I see her.

Wait, what’s going on?

It’s so natural that I didn’t notice it.

Why did you know that I turned away that pick-up guy?

As I recall, Nakamura, a college student, told her that he had turned them away at that time…

Well, I don’t really care about that because there’s nothing to be said about it.

”I see. Hmm, as I thought you’reー”

Ugh, for now, I need to think about what I’m going to do on Monday…

I don’t know what to do. 　

”This is getting more and more interestingー.”

Huh, why are you mumbling to yourself? Hirose.

And if you stare at me that hard…

Uhh, it’s a little burdensome.
