Chapter 42: Irritated
"I'm so irritated I can't stand it, so please let me stay in your room tonight, Hachiman-kun."
The subjectless message surprised me slightly, but soon after, another message from Arisu arrived.
"I'll explain the details later, but could you spend today with me?"
I guess it's something she can't talk about unless we meet in person. Anyway, I also wanted to hear about the exam results between Class A and Class D, so this works out well.
"Well, what I'm most curious about isn't the win or loss, but the 'outcome.'"
What impact did this exam have on Ayanokōji? This is just speculation, but Tsukishiro, whom I met recently, must have made some move during the exam.
Arisu, who was also a commander in this exam, would know best about that. I don't understand why she's irritated, but maybe that's the reason.
"...Maybe I should buy some sweets on the way."
As her earlier message showed, Arisu is in an incredibly bad mood right now. It might sound bad, but it'd be wise to bring something to cheer her up. Arisu does have a sweet tooth, after all.
I stopped by a nearby cake shop to look for a good cake when I overheard a conversation among a group of four who had just entered the store.
"Hey, what kind of cake does Kiyopon like again?"
