Chapter 29 The Day after I Met Shimomiya Saya

The Day after I Met Shimomiya Saya

This morning I saw what is becoming a routine these days; I go to school with Yoka and receive a mysterious apology from Kanzaki-san, which Yoka is angry about.

I don’t know why Yoka wants to go to school with me, and I don’t understand Kanzaki-san’s apology to me.

I accept her apology, but I don’t think it’s good for her to have contact with me because it would be bad for her boyfriend. …

Had lunch with Aoi-senpai.

This is also becoming a normal part of my daily life…

We both finished eating and were taking a break when Aoi-senpai started talking to me.

“Can we walk home together today?”

“Walk home together? Nothing’s going on, so maybe…”

While I was talking to her, I remembered what happened yesterday and tomorrow’s gym class.

I have a gym class tomorrow, so I have to ask Shinomiya-san to return my gym clothes. What should I do. …

“…? I wonder if you have something to do?”

“Yes, just a little.”

“Do you have something to talk to Sensei about?”

“No, I’ve to get my gym clothes back.”

When I said this, Aoi-senpai tilted her head, but gradually her face became worried and she said,

“If you don’t want to tell me, you don’t have to, but I wonder if someone hid Hiiragi-kun’s gym clothes? Are you being bullied or something?”

She asked me that.

“No, it’s not that. Something happened yesterday, and I had to lend my gym clothes to a junior.”

“To a junior?”

Aoi-senpai’s doubts deepened, so I decided to talk about it to some extent without mentioning that Shinomiya Saya was being bullied. …

“So, that girl and Hiiragi-kun have become acquainted.”

“Well, that’s right.”

Acquaintances…

If I consider my relationship with Aoi-senpai as a friend, then my relationship with Shinomiya-san would be an acquaintance.

But I don’t know her at all.

I know she is a first-year student, but I’ve no idea what class she is in, so I’ve almost no chance of getting in touch with her.

What should I do?

If I go to that place at the same time as yesterday, would I be able to meet her?

“Well… Hiiragi-kun.”

“Yes?”

“Can I go with you?”

“With Aoi-senpai, too?”

“If Hiiragi-kun and that girl can be friends, then I can be friends with her, too.”

I see.

I don’t know how many friends Aoi-senpai has, but I think it’s better to have more friends than less.

“I understand, but I don’t know what class Shinomiya-san is in, so I might not be able to see her. But, I have one thing in mind…”

“I understand. Then I will go to Hiiragi-kun’s class after school, so could you wait for me in the classroom?”

“Understood.”

So I decided to go with Aoi-senpai.
