Part 9
"Fuu...".
When I returned to the lobby of our dormitory, Katsuragi was there sitting while sighing deeply. He immediately noticed me and stood up.
"I was waiting for you. Sorry for making you accompany me on something strange today" he told me.
"No. I was the one who insisted on following you. I'm just about sorry for not being of any help to you".
"No such thing. It was probably impossible from the start, I have no choice but to give up". He must have been intending to deliver the present to his sister at all costs, but since it is prohibited by school regulations, it seems Katsuragi has given up.
"If you would like to, please eat it with your friends. I don't really like sweet things". Saying that, he handed me the bag containing the present. But, I didn't take it.
"It's wasted on me".
"I see. I suppose you wouldn't be happy even if I gave you something that was originally intended for someone else". After saying that, Katsuragi slightly lowered his head as he moved to return to his room.
