Book 6: Chapter 4: December 13th (Sunday) – Ayase Saki
The hands on the clock next to my pillow were moving towards midnight. I finished all my studying for tomorrow, finished my bath, and as if she had waited for that exact time, a message from Maaya came in. After putting her brothers to bed, getting her own studies done, and watching the currently-airing late-night anime, she texts me during this time pretty often. For crying out loud… I turned on speaker mode and answered Maaya’s call.
‘Sakiii, did you give Asamura-kun my present?’
That’s the first thing she asks me?
“I did.”
‘Oh! And how did it go?’
“I’m not sure. He had a weird look on his face, though I don’t know why.”
‘I see, I see… Good, good. Hee, hee.’
…Something about this is making me feel extremely suspicious.
“You gave him a book, right?”
