Chapter 54 Shinomiya-san in Danger?

Shinomiya-san in Danger?

The exam week started on Tuesday of this week, and after the morning exam, students were given free time in the afternoon.

Of course, I had to spend the afternoon studying until the last day of the exam, otherwise there was no way I could get a good score.

After the first and second days, today was Thursday, the third day of the exam.

Some are preparing for tomorrow’s exam, while others are talking about how the exam will be over tomorrow.

I get up from my seat and walk out of the classroom to my usual spot.

I went outside to my usual spot, but Shinomiya-san was still ahead of me, so I joined her. …

“Ah, Shuu-senpai. Thank you for your hard work today.”

“Thank you for your hard work too, Shinomiya-san.”

“How was today’s exam?”

“Not much different.”

“I see. I’m a little happy because I think I can expect a pretty good score on today’s exam thanks to what Shuu-senpai and Aoi-senpai taught me!”

“That’s great, right?”

“Yes!”

Shinomiya-san said with a happy face.

I’m glad if my help could be helpful for Shinomiya-san’s exam. Well, most of it is probably thanks to Aoi-senpai…

“Sorry, I’m late. I thought I’d be faster than you today.”

“Hehe, I will always be the first. That is non-negotiable.”

“Haha, I see. One day I hope to be faster than Saya and Hiiragi-kun.”

Aoi-senpai joined us and we started walking…

“How was your exam today, Aoi-senpai?”

“I guess it was no different than usual.”

“That means…”

“Well, yeah. If I do well tomorrow, I think I can get first place again.”

“I see. Let’s get through tomorrow together.”

“Oh. Yes, then we can finally play together.”

Since the exam week started, we decided to study at home, so we no longer have group study at Shinomiya-san’s house.

“I’m looking forward to it, I’ve never had to go out after a test before.”

“Yeah, I haven’t either.”

I don’t know if this is a change from losing the study group, but the plan is to go out tomorrow after the exam.

Aoi-senpai and Shinomiya-san were excited about this, and I listened to their conversation, sometimes responding when they asked me to join them.

As we walked down the street, we arrived at the station.

This is where we say goodbye to Shinomiya-san…

“Well, I’m looking forward to it.”

“Yeah. I’m looking forward to it too.”

“I’m looking forward to it too.”

“Well, I think the train is coming, so see you later, Shuu-senpai, Aoi-senpai.”

So we said goodbye to Shinomiya-san.

I should have said goodbye to Aoi-senpai too, since we live in different areas, but since Aoi-senpai really wanted to take me home despite my objections, I thought there must be a reason, so we took the train together.

We get off the train and walk through the ticket gate.

“Is there a place you want to go tomorrow, Hiiragi-kun?”

“Is it a place we want to go?”

“Yes, our plan is to go see a movie, but if Hiiragi-kun has other places you want to go, I’d like to give them priority.”

I thought about it, but I couldn’t find a place I wanted to go. It was almost the first time for me to go out with someone like this. It would not be so easy to come up with an idea.

“I don’t have any.”

“I see. Then let’s go to many places from now on and find a place we like.”

“Understood.”

We walked along the road to my house while talking like that, and when we got to the neighborhood of my house, Aoi-senpai’s phone rang.

“Saya?”

Aoi-senpai tried to answer the call, but it was cut off just before she could answer, and the notification rang again.

It seems that a message has been received, but when Aoi-senpai sees it, her face immediately turns grim.

Her face, which always gave the impression of charisma, began to look impatient and said to me,

“Hiiragi-kun. I have to take care of something. It’s urgent. I have to say goodbye here, but Hiiragi-kun’s house is over there, right?”

“Yes?”

“I really wanted to talk more, but I guess that’s all for today. Sorry for the suddenness.”

“That’s okay. Thank you…but.”

She said it was urgent, but what was it about?

“Senpai, is something wrong?”

“It’s…”

If I had been my usual self, I wouldn’t have asked so deeply. But for some reason, I felt I had to ask just this once.

Aoi-senpai looked worried, then opened her mouth.

“Something about Saya…”

“Yes, what’s it?”

Shinomiya-san?

I wondered if there was something she wanted to ask Aoi-senpai about the test, but since Aoi-senpai was so distraught, if I wasn’t mistaken, I was sure Shinomiya-san didn’t have anything to ask.

I think it was something more dangerous.

“Don’t worry, Hiiragi-kun. I’ll take care of it.”

“I see…”

Aoi-senpai says that while holding my hand.

If Aoi-senpai says it, it must be okay.

But what is it?

… What, am I okay with this? I don’t know.

I know what I’m saying won’t help and will only get in the way. But I think it’s funny to think about something like this.

This has never happened before.

“Well, I’m going, see you later, Hiiragi-kun.”

“Yes.”

I saw Aoi-senpai leave while running a little…
