“Speaking of which, Senpai, you came here to get your gym clothes back, right?”
“Yes.”
“I washed them properly, so I think you can find them in my classroom. I don’t think anything has been done to them, so please don’t worry.”
“Ah, yes.”
“After they did that, they left the school and went out to play, so there is probably no one in the classroom now. …”
She got up and started walking, and Aoi-senpai and I followed her.
There was an indescribable atmosphere in the air, but Aoi-senpai began to speak, her voice bubbling a little as if she wanted to change the atmosphere.
“By the way, I haven’t introduced myself yet. I’m Kudo Aoi. I’m the student council president… Well, my term will be over soon, though.”
“I’m Shinomiya Saya, a first-year.”
After saying that, Shinomiya-san fell silent again. …
Within a few minutes, we were on our way to the classroom and had my gym clothes back from Shinomiya-san.
“Thank you, Senpai.”
“You’re welcome?”
Not having much experience of being thanked by others, I didn’t know what to say, so I replied with a question mark.
Then Shinomiya-san looked at me with a slight smile on her face.
“I knew you were strange, Senpai…”
“Is that so?”
“Yes.”
After saying that, she smiled again and then looked at Aoi-senpai.
“Student Council President. I apologize for my strong language earlier.”
“No…it was my fault. I’m sorry too…”
They bowed their heads to each other.
“I know that the student council president isn’t a bad person because I saw her being friendly with Senpai. I knew that you were trying to do me a favor with good intentions earlier…”
“I see, I understand. But it’s still my fault. I didn’t put myself in your shoes and think things through. … Hey, Shinomiya-san.”
“Yes?”
Shinomiya-san looked at Aoi-senpai with a slightly doubtful face.
“Will you be my friend?”
“Friend…?”
“Ah. The only person I can call a friend is Hiiragi-kun.”
“Yes? What’s that? Since the student council president is so popular, I thought she must have a lot of friends.”
“No, I don’t. I really don’t.”
Seeing Aoi-senpai mumbling with a little sadness, Shinomiya-san seemed to have guessed something.
“I’m sorry, I seem to have overstepped a bit.”
“No, it’s okay. It’s not fair that I’m the only one who knows about Shinomiya-san’s situation, and we’re going to be friends, so I was thinking about talking to you after this.”
“You wanted to talk to me?”
“Ah. Is Shinomiya-san free after this?”
“Well… yes.”
“I see. How about you, Hiiragi-kun?”
“I’m fine.”
“Then let’s change the place and talk. It’s a boring story about my past.”
She seemed a little nervous when she said that.
