[Asanagi: Huh?]

[Nina: Y-Yuuchin?]

[Nozomu: Amami-san?]

Up till now, Amami-san had by no means refused an invite to hang around collectively, whatever the motive. That was why everybody appeared shocked by this growth.

For a second, I believed that she was making an attempt to keep away from Nitta-san for some time, however since she was presupposed to be performing like common (or no less than making an attempt to) to stop Umi, Nozomu and I from worrying, there was no manner that she’d be doing it so blatantly.

[Amami: Sorry, everyone.]

[Amami: Actually, I was thinking of asking my dad to help me study for the exam.]

[Asanagi: Your dad?]

[Asanagi: Isn’t he busy with work?]

[Amami: No, well there’s something called… No overtime? I think? Yeah, I think that’s what it’s called. Anyway, there’s the no overtime thing in his office, so he could go home on time even when he’s busy.]

[Maehara: I see, no overtime, huh?]

[Nozomu: Something like that exists? Man, it would be nice if our club implements that. We’ve always been practicing until the sun was set lately…]

[Nina: …Seki, shut it, we don’t need to know about what your baseball club is doing.]

Effectively, let’s neglect concerning the baseball membership, that began sounding extra like a black firm the extra I heard about them, for a second. Amami-san’s motive to not be part of our group’s examine session was cheap.

Because the parent-teacher interview was arising, she most likely felt the necessity to examine tougher than common. Like Umi and I, she additionally needed to proceed her schooling at a college, so she needed to examine even tougher than us.

…However, nonetheless…Up to date from novelbIn.(c)om

[Asanagi: Well, that’s fine. But, at least you’ll go home with us, right, Yuu?]

[Nina: She’s right. Let’s go home together, Yuuchin~]

[Amami: Ah, yes, of course I will.]

[Maehara: Okay, let’s meet up at the school gate after school. You’re fine with that right, Nozomu?]

[Nozomu: Yessir.]

After that, we ended our dialog. We didn’t want to speak about all the things over the telephone since we’d meet up quickly anyway.

Since I used to be in the identical class as Amami-san, I’d positively find yourself going to the gate collectively together with her… It troubled me slightly since I didn’t know what I ought to say to her… I imply, this was the primary time I needed to take care of one thing like this…

“Uh… Let’s go, Amami-san…”

“A-Ah… W-Effectively, let me say goodbye to Nagisa-chan first—”

Nonetheless, when she circled to search for Arae-san and her group, there was nobody there.

It appeared like they’d already left the room after we had been speaking.

“…Effectively, she isn’t right here…”

“Ah, jeez… Nagisa-chan, you dummy!”

That was the primary time I’ve ever heard her complaining about one thing Arae-san did.

In any case, identical to what I used to be speaking about with Umi this morning, Amami-san actually acted unusually.

* * *

After leaving the classroom, we each headed in direction of our assembly place; the varsity gate. I used to be considering of ready for Umi, however it appeared like her class was nonetheless in the midst of Homeroom. She additionally texted me to go on forward, so I did.

Normally, I’d nonetheless anticipate her in entrance of her class anyway. Her classmates already knew about our relationship, so it wasn’t like I wanted to sneak round. Additionally, Nakamura-san and the others had been enjoyable to speak to, so I loved hanging round them for some time.

However it wasn’t the case this time. The explanation? Due to a sure textual content from Umi.

[Amami: It’ll be cruel to Seki if we were to leave him alone with those two, so you really should go on ahead with her.]

That textual content satisfied me.

Nozomu may need already observed that there was one thing occurring with these two, however he hadn’t felt the precise ambiance that flew between them, one thing that I had straight felt on the mall the opposite day. That was why, it could be higher if I had been to be there with him so issues wouldn’t grow to be too awkward.

And so, I made a decision to go to the assembly place along with Amami-san. Which made me understand that it had been some time since I walked collectively together with her.

“Let’s go.”

“I swear I’m going to hit you two. Look, it isn’t like I wish to examine both! However, you recognize, this time, our examination is slightly completely different than common, proper…? I imply, after the examination… There’s the general public execution occasion…”

“Ah, the parent-teacher interview? Are your dad and mom actually that strict, Nitta-san?”

“Very. Normally, I can simply disguise from them, however this time, I can’t! That’s why I would like my grades to look first rate no less than…”

Personally, I didn’t assume that it was such an enormous deal, however who am I to say?

Effectively, no matter her motive was, learning was nonetheless a great factor. So long as the instructor noticed her efforts in learning, they wouldn’t be too harsh on her.

“Effectively, if that’s the case… Certain, I assume…”

“Thanks for understanding, Rep! As anticipated of our Rep! So useful, caring and… Right here~”

“…Huh?”

It was uncommon for Nitta-san to thank me, however that wasn’t the factor that shocked me.

…For some motive, she embraced my arm.

“W-W-Wha–”

“Hm? What’s fallacious, Yuuchin? You’re me weirdly. Is there a bug on my face?”

“No, there isn’t… There’s nothing in your face… Quite, what are you doing, Ninacchi?!”

“What am I doing? Oh, this. Effectively, I used to be too excited, so I did it with out considering, my dangerous. However, isn’t this a traditional factor to do for buddies, proper, Rep?”

“No it isn’t? No less than for me…”

We’ve been doing a whole lot of examine periods collectively and every time, I’ve been instructing Nitta-san to review. However this was the primary time she really thanked me out loud like this, to not point out embracing my arm…

Contemplating her common perspective, this was one thing she wouldn’t do usually.

Even contemplating the truth that she wanted my assist, she solely thought of me as a buddy at finest. As somebody who knew her true colour, her actions made me really feel slightly uncomfortable…

Really, it felt creepy…

“…Why do you look so sad?! I even gave you this type of service!”

“…I don’t have any cash to present you.”

“What sort of woman do you assume I’m?! Anyway, I’m simply doing this to indicate my thanks, okay?”

“Tremendous, nice, I get it… Are you able to go away now?”

Even when Nitta-san didn’t imply something by it, different individuals may nonetheless misunderstand the scene. I knew she was so excited and all, however I actually want she may chorus from doing one thing like that.

…See what I meant? Amami-san stared at us as if she was a ghost.

“N-Ninacchi, you’ll be able to’t try this! Maki-kun has a girlfriend! Don’t do something that can trigger misunderstandings”

“Misunderstandings? Oh, c’mon, I get it if there are lots of people round, however we’re the one ones right here, you recognize? Certain, I may need gone slightly too far, however everybody right here is aware of that there’s nothing occurring between us.”

“T-That could be true, however… Y-You continue to can’t do it! R-Proper, Maki-kun?!”

“U-Uh, properly, yeah…”

Even when all 5 of us, together with Umi, knew that there was nothing occurring between me and Nitta-san, a few of us would nonetheless be caught off guard if she had been to do one thing like that out of nowhere. Case on level; Amami-san.

Nitta-san already advised us that he had no emotions for each Nozomu and myself, however there was a chance that she didn’t inform us the reality. Emotions may change at a second’s discover, in spite of everything.

That was the rationale why I have been avoiding making too many contacts with ladies except for Umi, together with Amami-san and Nitta-san. The one motive why I didn’t transfer out of her embrace was as a result of I used to be too shocked to take action.

“…, Nitta, you appear slightly… Totally different… From common… Are you okay? You aren’t sick, are you? Perhaps it’s best to go dwelling for right this moment…”

“What? No, I’m performing like common! Additionally, why don’t you go dwelling as an alternative? In case you had been there, I couldn’t hold Rep to myself! In fact, I’m speaking about learning.”

“…Ugh…”

Seeing Nitta-san performing fully out of character like this, Amami-san puffed out her cheeks.

…Now my suspicion has been confirmed. The explanation why she had achieved all this was to impress Amami-san.

On the floor, they acted as in the event that they had been getting alongside, however it appeared like their struggle was nonetheless ongoing.

And as an alternative of Amami-san, it was Nitta-san who was out for blood this time.

Severely, it has been a month for the reason that fireworks competition… When would they make up with one another…?
