Book 5: Chapter 9: 30th of October (Friday) – Asamura Yuuta
We’ll be getting a day off school tomorrow, and that also lines up with Halloween. In light of that, you could feel the excitement filling the classroom when lunch break rolled around. Some people prefer Christmas Eve in terms of festivals, and I’ve even seen an anime where the last day before the cultural festival is repeated over and over. That probably explained why my classmates were brimming with anticipation. It’s not like I don’t get where they’re coming from. Once the day of the festival arrives, you can’t help but think that the end is approaching.
That being said, I’m surprised that my classmates are looking forward to Halloween this much. I could hear conversations about it here and there. ‘What costumes should we wear? Where should we party?’ Many more questions like these floated around me. Only the radius of 30cm around my desk was free from this mood.
“Yuuta. Got a minute?”
“Err… what’s up? You’re scaring me.”
Shinjou entered the classroom with a serious expression on his face that I hadn’t seen him make before. Something told me that this wouldn’t end well.
“I’d like to talk about something. Can we step out on the balcony?”
“You want to talk with me?”
“Yep.”
“Hold your horses, Shinjou. You’re not planning something bad, are you?”
