CH 84

When we returned to the classroom, Hatsune was standing in the hallway for some reason. What in the world was she doing there during recess? I thought of talking to her, but I had a feeling I shouldn’t, so I didn’t and took my seat.

Then recess ended and everyone took their seats. But Hatsune, who was supposed to be there, was not in the seat next to mine. What’s going on? She was standing in the hallway earlier.

Did she do something wrong and got scolded by the teacher? No, but I don’t think that Hatsune would make such a mistake. Well, she had acted boldly before, but that was because she had insurance, and I don’t think she would do something bold without it. If so, why was Hatsune standing in the hallway?

“T, take your seats, everyone, let me introduce you to the second transfer student of the day…”

“…S, second one!?”

Yui’s brother? No, but if that were the case, he would have at least arrived before the first period started. If he was mighty, he would have come to school with her… Then is he really new?

“Come in~”

And with Nanami-sensei, who was smiling somewhat bitterly from earlier, a beautiful looking female student came in through the door. She stood behind the teacher’s desk and wrote her name on the blackboard.

“I’m Hatsune Shirayuki, and I’m looking forward to working with you.”

“…Ha?”

Transferred…? What are you talking about? Hatsune is already a student at this school.

“Then, Shirayuki-san, who just transferred to this school, will be seated next to a boy named Saioji-kun.”

“Yes…”

When she said so calmly, Hatsune came toward me. I don’t understand.

“Ha, Hatsune, what are you doing?”

“What do you mean, I just transferred?”

“Transferred…?”

Hatsune spoke in the most frightening tone, extremely angry but calm.

“Why are you looking at me like you don’t know what I mean? I transferred to your school because you were going to be with a girl other than me, and I went out of my way to be a new student too.”

“No, I still don’t understand, Hatsune was originally a student at this school, right?”

Yes, I don’t really understand what she’s talking about.

“As I said, I didn’t like it when you two were the only transfer students, so I became one as you.”

“…And that’s the only reason you did thisーー”

“What do you mean by ‘just that’? I did it so I could be a transfer student like So-kun, so why are you making remarks that undermine that?”

“No, I didn’t do that.”

And before I could argue with her, Nanami-sensei said the words to start class, and in the end, after-school time came with a delicate atmoshpere.
