"Mornin'! Yuuto!" (Akari) "Morning." (Yuuto) The next morning, I met up with Akari in front of the elevator, just like always. Yesterday, my exchange with Nagisa continued until about 1 AM, so I was a little sleep-deprived. I truly, from the bottom of my heart, envied those so-called short sleepers. "Mornin'~ Akari." (Nagisa) "Oh! Nagisa! You're able to go to school this early today?" (Akari) "Yep." (Nagisa) Just as we were waiting for the elevator to arrive, Nagisa came out of her…-

For the past week, we’d been practicing for the exam every day after school, but today, practice was off due to Nagisa’s work schedule. Apparently, she wouldn't be home until around 10 PM. Being an active actress sure is tough. Like it was someone else's problem… though it actually was someone else's problem, I thought, savoring my first evening free after dinner in a long time. Normally, I’d read, but for some reason, I decided to watch a movie starring my father. "He really is good…"…

"Alright then… I came here expecting something pretty terrible, to be honest, so don't worry. You've never acted before, right?" (Nagisa) "Nope. Not at all." (Yuuto) Time passed, and it was Monday after school. We had gathered at Nagisa’s house after dinner. Initially, we planned to practice at my house, but when we saw Mom already in my room with a penlight before we even started, we quickly changed the venue to Nagisa’s. "First, as a premise, there will be a lot of audience members, and…

Sunday, the next day, was set aside for reading through the script, with practice for the exam—or rather, Nagisa’s acting coaching for me—to begin on Monday. I read through the script, further solidifying my image of the actual performance. That Sunday passed without any particular incidents, and the Monday that followed was also normal until the after-school acting coaching… Or so it should have been. Souma, who had sharp ears, had naturally gotten wind of my participation in the exam…

"Leave the narrator to me." It was about an hour ago that I’d confidently declared that to Nagisa just before she left. Nagisa had gone home before noon to concentrate on adjusting the script. In the first place, the plan was to ask a first-year from the Voice Acting Course to be the narrator, so as long as they had a certain level of skill in reading a script, that would be sufficient. A narrator who wouldn't be fazed by a large audience and could speak clearly and articulately. I’d known…

Saturday morning the next day. It was the time I’d usually have to get up if I were going to school. But even at that hour, I lay in bed, savoring the holiday. And that blissful time was supposed to last until just past 9 AM. "Yuuto, how long do you plan on sleeping?" (Nagisa) "…Why are you here, I wonder." (Yuuto) As I was pleasantly drifting in a light sleep, Nagisa entered my room. "It's fine, isn't it? Yuuto's mother, the owner of the house, gave me permission." (Nagisa) "The…

"…Um, shouldn't we be going soon?" (Yuuto) Several minutes had probably passed since it was decided that Nagisa and I would take the exam together. I still couldn't stand up because Nagisa’s head was on my lap. "But I haven't put on my 'meeting everyone' face yet." (Nagisa) "How much longer do you think it'll take?" (Yuuto) "Hmm… A little longer?" (Nagisa) Her vague reply made my anxiety grow. If we stayed too long, Mom and the others would inevitably start to wonder. "Yuuto, your…

Thursday, with only one day of exams left. A pattern had already been established: I’d study alone during the day, and around evening, Akari and Murai-san would come over. Today, as usual, I focused on my studies, and then looked up when the doorbell rang. It was just past 3 PM. Considerably earlier than usual. "…Hey." (Nagisa) "Oh? Work today?" (Yuuto) "Yeah." (Nagisa) "I see." (Yuuto) After that brief exchange, I invited Nagisa, who had rung the bell, into the house. I couldn't read…

After finishing the first day's exams, I went home and, for once, was able to concentrate in my room. With Akari coming over almost every week, and the irregular event of Nagisa visiting last week, I hadn't been able to focus as much. Even though I wasn't that worried about the tests, there was no harm in being thoroughly prepared. Apparently, Mom was out too, so for lunch, I opted for cup ramen—a time-efficient choice—and was spending the ideal exam period studying in my quiet room. I’d…

The written exams at Ichiyou High School are held over five days. Two to three subjects per day. Thanks to this, during exam week, students from other courses can go home earlier than usual. Apparently, students use this extra time to study on campus or have study sessions with friends at cafes. However, it seemed my sole study group member, Souma, had plans to study with different friends today. He invited me to come along if I wanted, but I politely declined. If I were surrounded by people I was…
