Book 5: Chapter 3: 20th of October (Tuesday) – Asamura Yuuta
Ever since the afternoon rolled around, I had been feeling restless. My first class of the afternoon was supposed to be modern Japanese, and yet my classmates reading from the textbook sounded like they were speaking a foreign language. Everything was entering one ear and leaving through the other. There was only one thing my simple-minded brain could focus on—The shopping date later with Ayase-san.
My mind was solely focused on working up plans to make the date a rousing success. I’m nowhere near confident enough to expect she’d have fun just by being with me, but I at least don’t want to bore her into oblivion.
“What are you groaning about now, Asamura?”
I raised my head and was met with the sight of Maru turned towards me.
“Oi, Maru. We’re in the middle of class.”
I thought I was the one being reasonable, and yet Maru gave me an exhausted stare.
“What are you on about? Classes have already ended.”
“Wha?”
I frantically looked around and saw that my classmates were packing up to move classrooms. Oh yeah, today’s 6th period is a chemistry experiment in a separate classroom, isn’t it?
