"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…

It was the Saturday right before exams. My classmates were probably all hunkered down, concentrating on their own studies. Of course, I wanted to do the same. But there was a reason I couldn’t. The doorbell rang in the early afternoon, shattering my concentration as I was focused on test prep in my room, not thinking about much else. The one who’d pressed it was the girl standing before me now: Minase Nagisa. Her first words upon opening the door were, "Anyone home? If not, let me in. Your…

My heart was still pounding a little even after I’d parted ways with Nagisa and sunk deep into the living room sofa. "Welcome home, Yuuto. You're late, aren't you?" (Mother) "…I'm home." (Yuuto) Mom, who had evidently just gotten out of the bath, had apparently only come out to show me her face; her hair was still wet. Once she confirmed I was home, she immediately headed back to the washroom. I’d already sent a message via the app when I knew I’d be having a study session with…

"We are truly, deeply sorry…!" (Reiya and Hikaru) Having finished our second trip around, we got off the gondola, and the first thing we did was bow our heads to the other two and offer our sincerest apologies. "Seriously… you guys are just… Have a little restraint, would ya…?" (Taiju) "Yes, you are absolutely, completely right…" (Reiya) To a thoroughly exasperated Taiju-san, I could only apologize profusely. I was supposed to have come along because I was worried he might do…-

Once we boarded the gondola, without any prior arrangement, we both sat on one side. After a short pause, confirming that we were no longer visible from below— —CLATTER CLATTER!! Simultaneously, we spun around 180 degrees on the spot. Kneeling on the seats, we looked down out the window, not at the scenery, but at the next gondola where Ichiru-san and Taiju-san were boarding. Just as we looked, the two of them, having boarded after us, had sat down on opposite seats. Perhaps to…
