Chapter 220: Birthday for the Two of Us (2)
I managed to get through the morning events. And now it was right around noon.
Since there was nothing left for me to do, I would have loved to go home right away and embrace the spirit of summer vacation, but that wasn’t going to happen.
Because I still had some business to take care of with Umi.
[Asanagi: I’m almost done, so wait for me at the school gate. We should go shopping after this. You know, to buy a cake and stuff.]
[Maehara: ‘Kay. Time to look for a good place to sit.]
After replying to Umi’s message, I put on my shoes and slowly made my way to the school gate. Normally, we would just meet up at Umi’s classroom, but she wasn’t there today.
I sat down under the shade of the multipurpose building near the school gate and looked around aimlessly.
The temperature was higher than it was in the morning and it would only get hotter, but this place in particular was cool. Probably because of the large trees nearby. That made this place perfect for waiting for someone. But, the multipurpose hall was the most popular place to visit during recess because this was the gathering spot of the light music club, so normally this place would be crowded. That was why loners like me wouldn’t stick around here normally. Thankfully, because it was summer vacation, everyone went home as soon as their business was over, so there was no one loitering around the area.
“Is Umi not here yet?”
