Kanna’s Point of View

I haven’t had a fever in ages.

Thanks to this, I didn’t get to see Sō-chan today…

I’ve been bored in bed all morning. When was the last time I was so bored that I couldn’t do anything?

But as I was thinking about it, I thought about it again today. Sō-chan seems to be a bit strange these days… really.

I have thought like that before, but something is clearly wrong.

Of course, Sō-chan is Sō-chan, that’s for sure. But it’s still a little different…

It’s the same with Sō-chan’s surroundings…

Looking at Sō-chan’s recent surroundings, I cannot help but feel discomfort, even if I don’t dislike it.

First of all, why are Sō-chan and Otsuka so close? Recently, I often feel that the two of them are having some kind of conversation in the back seat. It seems as if she talks to Sō-chan whenever she gets a chance. 　And lately, Otsuka seems to be having a lot of fun.

Why? She broke up with Todo, right? Isn’t it usually difficult to recover from a broken heart? Why was she so happy with Sō-chan in such a situation? It’s weird…

And maybe this is a lie, but I’ve heard rumors that Otsuka and Sō-chan were alone together on the field trip.

Hey, why is such a rumor going around? It’s a lie, isn’t it? Why Sō-chan, of all people? It can’t be. It can’t be true. It’s absolutely not possible.

Even at a part-time job…

Why would he be in the same place as that famous man-hater Hirose?

I saw her the other day when we went to a family restaurant for dinner. Why? Didn’t Hirose give So-chan too many bodies touches?　

Sō-chan is a cool and great boy, but he’s not your type, right?　So why did she talk to Sō-chan so happily?

And why are there rumors that not only Otsuka but also Hirose and Sō-chan were together on the school trip? It’s too strange. It’s completely false, isn’t it?

Really, why are there so many impossible rumors?　It’s just ridiculous.

Besides, even Saionji-san is a member of the committee with him…

Why does he often visit the classroom and look in the direction of Sō-chan?

Why would she try to get involved with Sō-chan when she is famous for not getting involved with any boys?

How did they get together in the first place?

This is crazy. It’s all too strange.

This is …… This is really bad. Why do all these cute girls find themselves around Sō-chan?

It was supposed to be my privilege to be the only one who knew about Sō-chan’s charms. And now, all of a sudden… What is going on? What the heck is going on without me knowing about it?

Especially the festival. I was hoping to get together with Sō-chan this year, no matter what…

I’ll be fine. It’s fine… yes.

Seriously, why am I being so negative?

It’s not like me. Sō-chan will give up on me like this. I can’t let that happen.

But if I continue like this, Sō-chan…

I can’t do it. That’s absolutely not allowed.

I know Sō-chan better than anyone else.
