It was the first day of the school semester, and the school assembly ended, their homeroom teacher ended the session, and they could return home.
However, it was also because they had tests the next day.
"I don't wanna have tests~"
Once class was dismissed, Chitose said next to Itsuki, sprawled on the table, and grumbled in frustration.
"Really? I think it's easy if you do your revision normally. We have it easy here since we can go home earlier during exam period."
"You and Mahirun get to say this since you're elite students~ ordinary students hate tests~ isn't that right, Yuu-chan?"
"Ahahaha, well, I understand what you two are thinking. I feel a little lonely since I don't have club activities, but a rest day is a luxury to me. I don't really have any thoughts about tests."
"Ughh, you're an elite student too Yuu-chan...?"
Kadowaki was the ace of the track team, but he was not all brawns. His studies were good, and in fact, he was in the upper echelon.
Chitose did not participate in any clubs, but she used to be on the track team, and preferred to be physically active rather than studying, which was why she was bad at the latter. Truth be told, the biggest reason was that she hated studying.
"Ikkun~, everyone's bullying me."
"No point looking for me. Well, just work hard, Chii."
"Ikkun you traitor. You've been secretly studying during summer break."
"I don't get my freedom if my grades are too poor."
Itsuki laughed. According to him, his parents demanded that he improve his greats.
He was capable to begin with, smart, but he always prioritized Chitose, resulting in his grades being average. His father was probably unhappy about this.
"Amane..."
"What?"
"Which one do you want, a photo of Mahirun happily eating crepes with cream on her face, or a teary, shivering Mahirun while watching a horror flick?"
"Chitose-san!?"
"Why not both?'
"Amane-kun too!?"
Mahiru frowned, blushing furiously, for her photo was taken without her knowledge. Amane burst out laughing.
"Just joking."
"...Really?"
"I'll keep it if you send me."
The photos were not at fault, and Amane was naturally glad to receive the photos of his girlfriend's adorable side, as seen from her friend.
Mahiru looked displeased to hear Amane say so, but she was not angry at him, for Chitose was cackling away. "Chitose-san no baka." She cried out loudly.
"Say Mahirun, it's good that you're on good terms with Amane, and it's a dream for him to have his lover's photos, you know?"
"That is a completely different matter."
Mahiru said adamantly, and turned her head aside. Both Amane and Chitose laughed, and she pouted away.
