Book 1: Chapter 5: part 3
“Hey, we’re hanging out with Kushida-chan and her friends later, you wanna go too?”
During one of the afternoon classes, I was absent-mindedly writing down notes from the blackboard when I received a text.
Oh… Is this what they call a youthful student life? This is my first time being invited somewhere after school by friends. I didn’t give any reason to refuse, but I asked who was going.
If there are a lot of people I don’t know, I probably wouldn’t go. It’d be somewhat awkward.
I quickly got a reply. Of course, Ike, Yamauchi, and Kushida were going. Then, including me, five other people. People I didn’t particularly know. If it’s that much, then I guess it’s fine. I replied, saying I would go, and another reply quickly came back.
“Kushida-chan’s mine, so don’t get in the way! – Ike-sama”
“No, no, Kushida-chan is my target, so you back off. – Yamauchi”
“Haa? You’re saying you’re also aiming for her? Are you trying to pick a fight with me? – Ike-sama”
I wish they’d got along, but rather they started fighting over Kushida.
