Before Hirata could even respond, Karuizawa came and hugged Hirata’s arm .
Giving up, Hirata scratched his cheek with his finger in embarrassment, admitting the truth their relationship .
“Seriously? I’m so envious that you get to date a cute girl like Karuizawa!”
Yamauchi said with fake envy in his voice . Lying without being conscious of it is surprisingly hard .
“Kushida-chan, do you have a boyfriend?”
While on that topic, Ike shifted the topic over to Kushida . Clever .
“Me? No, I’m not dating anyone . ”
Ike and Yamauchi were rejoicing in their minds, and their expressions lifted . Your delight is leaking out…
She might be keeping a secret, but for the most part Kushida was confirmed as single . I’m also a bit glad .
“Oh no, I’m crying…!”
“Don’t cry, Yamauchi! Our hope is right in front of our eyes now!”
It’s no longer an insurmountable mountain, but rather a really steep road…
Hirata, Karuizawa, Ike, and Yamauchi all walked together, surrounding Kushida . Matushita and Mori weren’t with the rest of the group .
They were walking behind them . I walked even further behind, all alone .
“Hey Ike, where are you going?”
A voice called out, asking about the destination . Ike looked back and brusquely replied .
“Since not a lot of time has passed since the entrance ceremony, we’re just checking out the facilities . ”
There’s no clear destination . In other words, this awkward feeling will probably continue for a while…
My expectations were broken in an unexpected way .
“Ne ne, Matsushita-san, Mori-san . Do you two have anything you want to see?”
While Ike and Yamauchi were happily talking to each other, Kushida fell back and talked to the two girls .
“Eh? Oh, um, I’ve always wanted to go to the movie theater at least once . ”
“Yea . Since school is over, I also want to go . ”
“Oh, that’s right! I’ve always wanted to go, but didn’t yet . Karuizawa-san, how about you guys? Anywhere you want to go?”
Kushida started to organize the three groups . As expected of her . I probably couldn’t do the same thing even if I tried . Also, she would occasionally turn around and smile at me . I didn’t see that coming .
Even though I tried to ignore her, I felt troubled because she kept looking at me . I tried to convey to her that I wasn’t trying to ignore her, but that it was how my personality and way of thinking was . If Kushida couldn’t read the atmosphere, and she just liked being in the center of things, she wouldn’t be able to receive my message .
However, there are also the type of people that go “What, can’t you read the atmosphere?” after you refuse their invitation to sing at a karaoke even though you only went without ever intending to sing .
After all, egotistic people who think that singing is fun \= everyone should like singing are stupid . They can’t understand that there are people who simply don’t like to sing .
While I was lost in my bitter internal monologue, the surroundings got loud and busy .
Somehow, we were next to a clothes shop… we seem to have arrived at a stylish boutique .
Everyone seems to have been here already once or twice, so I also went in without hesitation . I only went outside during the weekdays for school and stayed in my dorm for the weekend, so I never had the need to buy any casual clothes .
There were a lot of students inside, though only a few of them were upperclassmen and the rest were first-years . Maybe it’s because it’s my first time, but I felt inexperienced and out of place inside .
After checking out a few clothes, the group walked to the nearby cafe .
Hirata was holding Karuizawa’s purchases from the store . The clothes were about 30,000 points .
“Are you guys familiar with the school yet?”
“At first I was really confused, but I’m used to it now . This is the school of my dreams, I never want to graduate~”
“Ahaha, it looks like Ike-kun is thoroughly enjoying his school life, huh . ”
“I wish we would get more points . About 200,000… 300,000 points? After buying clothes and cosmetics, my points run out quickly . ”
“Wouldn’t it be strange for a high school student to get 300,000 points a month for their allowance?”
“If you say it like that, then 100,000 sounds reasonable . I’m a bit scared . If my school life continues like this, I’m worried about how I would live after graduating . ”
“Are you talking about losing your sense of money? That really does sound scary . ”
The students all seem to have different opinions about our 100,000 point allowance . Karuizawa and Ike want more points, while Hirata and Kushida are scared of their life after their luxurious school experience ends .
“How about you, Ayanokouji-kun? Do you think 100,000 is too much? Too little?”
Although I was only listening at first, Kushida included me in the conversation by asking a question .
“Hmm… I don’t think I really have a good grasp of it yet . I don’t really know . ”
“What kind of answer is that?”
“You know, I can understand what Ayanokouji-kun’s saying . This is far from a normal student’s school life . It’s impossible for me to know without a good point of comparison . ”
“Well, it’s useless to be concerned over it . It’s seriously a good thing that I got in . I can buy whatever I want . Even yesterday, I just bought myself some new clothes . ”
Ike’s living a positive life, never looking back even once .
“Oh right, Kushida-chan, Hirata, Ike, and Karuizawa all got in, right? How’d you get in? Aren’t you guys pretty stupid?”
“Yamauchi, you don’t look smart either . ”
“Ha? I got 900 points on the APEC before . ”
“What’s APEC?”
“You don’t even know what that is? It’s a really difficult English test . ”
“Uh, isn’t that TOEIC, not APEC?”
Kushida inserted a small tsukkomi . By the way, APEC is the Asian-Pacific Economic Cooperation .
“T-they’re related things . ”
I don’t think they’re related at all…
“Well, this school’s goal is to nurture the youth with potential, so they probably don’t pick people solely on test scores . Honestly, if they only judged by scores, I wouldn’t have applied . ”
“That, that . The ‘youth with potential’ part . Those words describe us exactly . ”
Ike crossed his arms and nodded his head .
Despite being the preeminent school in Japan with a great employment rate, their admissions aren’t based only on test scores .
But how on earth does the school see potential in these people?
The question suddenly popped into my head .
