The first time I became strongly aware of her existence was in the dead of winter, as the first year of my high school life was drawing to a close. That day, having missed the bus on my way home from my part-time job, I decided to walk home, partly to make up for my usual lack of exercise. In the kind of cold that made you think it might start snowing, just as I began regretting not waiting for the next bus— I heard an unfamiliar sound coming from an unfamiliar facility facing the…-

"No, no, no... Someone like me only has a short relationship with her, and for something like that, Hino-san, who has known her for a long time and is always close, would be far more..." (Reiya) I'm ultimately just a gaming buddy, or rather, a skipping companion. Compared to that, Hino-san has known her since elementary school, is trusted by her family, and has been entrusted as her guardian. She's clearly the more suitable person, I argued, but— "I can't." (Ayaka) That too was denied…

The first school day after mid-term exams ended and the weekend passed. Under the sunlight that made one feel the gradual approach of summer, I was slacking off completely. It was the middle of third period, during PE class—the most painful time for gloomy types, both mentally and physically. Perhaps as a consideration from the PE teacher after the exams, we were playing soccer. "My ball!""My ball, my ball!!""My baaall!!!" Where I looked, classmates in gym clothes were kicking a black and…

"Show...er...?" (Reiya) I didn't understand the meaning, but I repeated the word, thinking it had a somehow pleasant ring to it. "Yeah, it's your bed, Kageyama-kun... I thought it would be bad to sleep in it like this..." (Hikaru)"Ah, ahh... Shower, right, shower...! Yeah, you're right... S-Sorry...! I'm totally inconsiderate!" (Reiya)"N-No! It's just me being impudent!" (Hikaru)"No, not at all! Please, feel free to use it... Um... You can use the bath towel in the changing room... As for a change of…

Friday afternoon—the final bell rang, marking the end of all mid-term exams. "Alright, time's up. Pencils down, collect from the back. No more writing." At the supervising teacher's command, the answer sheets were collected sequentially from the back. ...It's over. The first thing I felt was a huge, huge sense of liberation. For a while now, days without having to face studying would continue. Just thinking about it made my heart feel light as if it had grown wings. The next thing I…

This is bad. Seriously bad. Tuesday evening, I sat at my desk, head in hands, staring at the math exam prep workbook. Only two days left until the exam. I had wasted both precious weekend days on games. Never mind the first day skipping with Asahi-san, but the second day was completely unnecessary. It was all the fault of that weakling called The Defect for not defeating the A20 Heart quickly enough. Anyway, at this rate, failing grades were certain. If I failed, precious time would…

Having achieved the double jackfruit, Asahi-san's departure time arrived soon after. She prepared to leave, and I prepared to see her off, both of us proceeding silently and matter-of-factly. It would be a lie to say I wasn't still conscious of what happened, but escorting her to the station was still essential. She had declined last week, but this time, she didn't say anything. "Alright... Shall we go?" (Reiya)"Yeah." (Hikaru) I locked my apartment door, and we left the building. Summer…

The following Saturday, Asahi-san came over to my room as promised. "A-Are you sure this is okay...?" (Hikaru)"Yeah... Totally fine. Doesn't bother me at all... If anything, it helps me concentrate more." (Reiya) I replied to ease someone who whispered apologetic words from behind me. Right now, she was playing the low-priced downloadable title, 'Fruit Game'. It was a puzzle game that had become massively popular thanks to game streamers. The rules were simple: drop various fruits into a box…

Asahi-san? You mean Hikaru?" (Taiju)"Yes, it's nothing major, but..." (Reiya)"Her breast size? If that's it, next time I go home, I'll sneak into her room and check for you." (Taiju)"That's not it!" (Reiya) I might seriously need to reconsider whether letting this guy near Ichiru-san is a good idea. "It's tennis, tennis. Asahi-san is amazing at tennis, right? I was wondering how long someone has to play to get that good." (Reiya)"Oh, is that all? Since when... let's see..." (Taiju) Taiju-san…

The holidays ended, and the long-awaited school life resumed. Thrilling math classes, lunch breaks spent with my two friends, and even the mid-term exams looming just around the corner. Fulfilling days! Rose-colored youth! How wonderful life is!! Lost in a melancholy that required such forced positivity, I spent my time in the classroom as if dead. "This area comes up often on the common tests, and I'll include it on next week's exam too, so make sure you memorize it properly."…
