Chapter 2: A Chance Meeting (1)
I made my first friend, Asanagi-san. What sparked our friendship was something unexpected.
It happened after the entrance ceremony, during our class’ first homeroom.

“Uhh… E-Ewery… Everyone…!”
“Sensei, does that mean biting your tongue makes a good first impression ~ ?”
The frozen atmosphere in the class eased up the moment a certain female student, whose name and face I didn’t recognize at the time, spoke up.
“I’m sorry everyone, it’s my first time being a homeroom teacher, so I’m a little nervous… Anyway, my name is Yagisawa Miki… From today onwards, I look forward to working with everyone, at least until next year… There, I said it all!”
“Gee, will we be okay during that time period ~ ?”
For the first time, the class broke out in laughter.
