The Day After the Unanimous Exam
As the sun began to set the next day, I changed into slightly nicer clothes and left the dorm. Tonight's plans were the dinner with Nagumo that had been canceled yesterday due to the exam.
"I didn't expect him to agree so quickly..."
After telling him Friday was impossible because of the exam, I suggested the next day instead—and he accepted almost instantly. Too instantly.
Apparently, the restaurant we were going to was one of Nagumo's regular spots, and he had already made a reservation. He even insisted on covering the entire bill. Honestly, being treated this lavishly just made me uncomfortable, but I wasn't about to complain.
"I got here a bit too early, huh?"
I arrived about fifteen minutes ahead of schedule. Not that being early was a bad thing.
Just then, I heard a familiar voice calling out to me from a distance.
"Ah! Hachikun!"
"Nazuna-san. What a coincidence."
She happily walked over as soon as she spotted me. Ever since she confessed her feelings, I'd been a little more conscious around her, but at least things weren't awkward yet.
