Book 7: Chapter 4: February 16th (Tue) – Ayase Saki
Ten minutes before the bell rang, I was already seated in my seat. It was my morning routine, so to speak. Assuming nothing else got between me and my ritual, I would open my textbooks, open my notes, and read through everything once more to help me mentally relax. I’ve been doing this ever since middle school. However, in my second year in high school, there was always something that got in the way.
“Sakiii!”
And that something’s name was Maaya. She’s been at it for a while now, but it seems like the more seasons pass, the greater the level of energy she keeps up every morning to talk to me. I wonder why. I can’t fathom it. Oh well…
“Class is gonna start, you know?”
“What are you talking about?!”
“…Huh?”
“The bell hasn’t rung yet, right?”
I mean… it will ring in five minutes max. And isn’t that the point at which you should prepare for the next class?
“Seriously, what? Our field trip starts tomorrow, right?!”
