Part 6
"Oi, Ike. I investigated the Katsuragi case".
"Seriously? You're pretty good, Ayanokouji. I'm seeing you in a new light now". Saying that, Ike praised me while putting a hand on my shoulder. Was I even doing something that deserved being seen in a new light? Feeling a little doubt about how low Ike had evaluated me internally, I reported the situation to him.
"Unfortunately, I couldn't find out who from where he was giving it to". That's not quite true. To be more specific, I couldn't find out the profile of any girl he could possibly be giving it to. No matter how much I investigated, I couldn't quite figure it out.
In the same school year, there is no one with that birthday date. However, I couldn't think of any student in the other school years as well.
In this case, wouldn't the person we're thinking of in a completely different location? Looking shocked, Yamauchi raised his head.
"This is bad...I knew this would happen. Just who is Katsuragi going to give his present to?". Rather than joy or excitement, Yamauchi instead made a sorrowful expression as he starts talking as if he's understood something.
"Hey, Kanji. Didn't you think Valentine's was hell back in middle school?".
"W-w-what are you saying all of a sudden? Sure, it was tough for me. But what about it?".
