Yesterday, Hatsune started saying things that made no sense to me, and a night has passed.

Today is Monday, the innocent but probably most hated day of the week that every students hates. Students go to school, working people start to work and Santa goes to bed.

I always wonder how someone who sleeps 364 out of 365 days could be a child’s dream. I want to be able to make dreams and hopes make a big difference just by working a day once a year.

With this twisted thought in my head. I went to school with Hatsune. For some reason, Hatsune was in a really good mood today. I don’t know why…

I don’t know, but we walked into the school and into the classroom. But Hatsune immediately started talking to me.

“Sorry So-kun, I have to go to the student council room today for some student council work.”

“I see, I understand.”

Then Hatsune left the classroom as she had declared and headed somewhere else.

“……”

I haven’t been able to talk with anyone else since I’ve been with Hatsune for the past few days. Moreover, I’m a transfer student, without Hatsune I’m completely alone. A group is already being established in the class.

Well, there’s nothing wrong with being alone, but I’m still bored. I tried to find someone who was alone like me, but since it was their second year, there was no one…

“Hmm?”

Two seats in front of me, there was a girl reading alone. …I should talk to her, but…

“What should I do?”

The reason I’m having trouble is not some story about an adolescent boy being shy to talk to girls. No! I don’t want to be treated with the same value as those guys! I’m risking my life here!

However, it’s a problem not to interact with anyone other than Hatsune in school…

“I’ll talk to her.”

Then I moved to the seat two seats in front of me and I tried to talk to the girl.

“Oh, um…”

“What?”

The girl turned her head to me for a moment. …Hmm? I’ve seen that face somewhere. This long, silky black hair, this thin body… Oh! I remember now!

It’s the person who told me where the staff room was when I had to choose a club!

“I, I’m sorry about that time! But thank you”

“That time…? Oh, that time. It’s okay. I don’t mind at all.”

“Ah, is that right?”

“…Is that why you’re talking to me?”

“Ah, no, that’s not the reason…”

“Then what?”

I don’t know what to say, maybe it’s a little rude, but she’s an unsociable person, she’s unapproachable, and maybe that’s why she was reading by herself.

…If you ask me what I am talking to you for, it’s hard to answer. Hmm?

“Is that a novel?”

“Yes, it is.”

I didn’t notice it on the book cover, but it’s definitely a romance! She stopped at a page with a long illustration. I’ve seen this picture somewhere…

“Ah! That’s ‘My darling Boyfriend’—-“

“Yes, it is! But your voice is too loud!”

Apparently, she doesn’t want people to know that she’s reading a novel. Well, I guess so. At first glance, it looks like she’s reading a very difficult novel. That’s why I failed to speak to her…

“What! I should have just talked to her casually if this was going to happen!”

I give her a smile.

“…w, what is it, i, isn’t, HR about to start?”

“Oh, sorry.”

I took my seat as HR was about to start. A few moments after I took my seat, Hatsune came back to sit next to me.

“I’m sorry to leave you alone, So-kun! I’m already here, so don’t worry.”

“Ah, y, yes.”

I wasn’t alone, so I wasn’t lonely. If I said that I wasn’t lonely, I would definitely be stabbed.

“……”

“……Hmm?”

I think I saw her looking at me for a moment, or was it my imagination?
