Chapter 123 - 118: Despite being thwarted
After school, I change my shoes at the entrance and step out of the school building. Among the sparsely scattered students walking by, a particularly striking blonde-haired girl dashes toward me as if she had been waiting.
"Good afternoon, Hikigaya-senpai."
The one bowing politely in front of me is Nanase. Given her demeanor, this doesn't seem like a chance encounter.
"Please forgive me for ambushing you like this."
"Were you waiting for me?"
"There's something I wanted to ask you."
I already have a rough idea of what it might be.
"Could you spare me just a little of your time?"
"Sure. Let's talk while we walk."
"Okay!"
With a happy expression at my agreement, Nanase starts walking alongside me toward the dormitory.
