Book 9: Chapter 5: “Spreading Rumors”
(Introduction)
The weekend passed by and it was now Monday morning.
After getting out of the shower, I dried my hair with a toothbrush in my mouth. I had spent some more time relaxing than usual. The plan was to wait until I was a little late before leaving for school.
I remembered that I had turned off my phone before I went to bed last night, so I turned it back on.
My phone screen lit up immediately and displayed all of the messages that had accumulated over the night.
[Kiyotaka-kun, do you have a bit of time this morning? Is it fine if I come by your room?]
The message was from Airi, and it seemed to have arrived just after I got in the shower.
There was also a missed call from Kei, but I’d get back to her later.
[Sorry. I was in the shower so I didn’t notice your messages. There isn’t much time right now. Can we talk at school?]
