Time came to Friday.
After the last class, the sensei also finished work and went home for the holiday.
The classroom instantly became lively. Everyone was talking excitedly while packing their bags.
They were all discussing what to do over the weekend and where to go play.
However, the class monitor and the study committee member reminded everyone.
"Everyone, the midterm exams are next Thursday and Friday, so you'd better take advantage of the holiday to review your studies properly."
"Huh? No way! How did the midterms come so quickly?"
"Yeah, I feel like the last exam wasn't that long ago."
"That's a bummer!"
"How boring, how boring."
"Classmates, look on the bright side! Doesn't this mean the semester is already halfway over?"
"Ah, forget it. I won't go to the beach. I'll just review my studies properly."
"Don't say that! Didn't you want to learn how to swim?"
"Ah, this..."
This boy was clearly conflicted.
Seeing this, another boy who had planned to go with him decided to add fuel to the fire and whispered in his ear.
"Besides, there are lots of girls in swimsuits at the beach! If you're lucky, maybe..."
"Okay, I'll go!"
"That's more like it!"
...
And Nakano Itsuki, upon hearing the news about the midterm exams, clearly panicked inwardly.
May, who had just been discussing with her classmates which snack bar to go to later to taste delicious food, suddenly lost her cheerful mood.
"What's wrong, May?"
"Are you worried about the exam?"
"It's okay, May. We've all seen how serious you are in class. You've taken so many notes. A mere midterm exam will definitely be no problem!"
"Yeah, yeah, May, we believe in you! You'll definitely get good grades!"
"Uh... hehe... uh."
May nodded guiltily, then subconsciously looked in the direction of Mochizuki's seat.
Huh? He's already gone?
Did he slip away this fast for the holiday?!
"Let's go, May."
Two female classmates saw that May had also finished packing her bag and said.
"Okay."
It seems she can only go enjoy the food first. At the same time, May was planning in her heart that she needed to ask Mochizuki to tutor her!
Otherwise, she might fail. May had a clear understanding of her own abilities.
Meanwhile, Mochizuki was already close to the wall by the sports field where he had met Eri Ri last time.
Mochizuki was holding his phone and sending messages to Yukino Yukinoshita and Shiina Mahiru.
Yukinoshita was added a couple of days ago, making it convenient to let her know he wouldn't be going to the Service Club after school.
It's worth mentioning that Yukinoshita's Line profile picture was a snow-white cat.
Mochizuki told Yukinoshita he had something to do today and wouldn't go to the club. He told Shiina Mahiru that he was going to a friend's house for dinner tonight and wouldn't be home for dinner.
Yukinoshita replied with a cool-looking sticker, indicating she understood.
Shiina Mahiru, on the other hand, thoughtfully told Mochizuki to be careful on the way and come home early tonight.
Just as Mochizuki was about to put away his phone, it vibrated again.
Mochizuki guessed it was Eri Ri. Had that girl already arrived?
And she was sending a message urging him to hurry up.
That shouldn't be the case. The sports field was closer to his classroom building.
He checked and saw it was Miku.
Miku's Line name was Furinkazan, and her profile picture was also an image full of Sengoku period atmosphere.
It made it impossible to imagine this was a girl's account, let alone believe that a beautiful girl was on the other side of the chat window.
Furinkazan: Where are you?
Light Novelist Wang Yue: Sports field, what's up?
Furinkazan: There at the sports field, I'm going to your place.
Light Novelist Wang Yue: To my place? All five of you?
Furinkazan: No, just me, to take a look.
Mochizuki had thought that The Five Sisters hadn't been to his place yet and wanted to come. He didn't expect it to just be Miku. Although he didn't know what she wanted to do, he had already made plans with Eri Ri for today.
Light Novelist Wang Yue: ...
Light Novelist Wang Yue: Not today.
Furinkazan: Why?
Light Novelist Wang Yue: I'm going to someone else's place...
Miku, who was rushing towards the sports field, saw this sentence and subconsciously thought of Yukino Yukinoshita whom she had met last time. Of course, it could also be the other girls on the Tennis court at that time.
Furinkazan: Who?
Light Novelist Wang Yue: Someone you don't know.
Furinkazan: I'll go too.
Light Novelist Wang Yue: I said you don't know them.
Furinkazan: I'm at the sports field, where are you?
Light Novelist Wang Yue: (Image)
If you find me, I'll take you.
Mochizuki took a picture and sent it to Miku Nakano. Anyway, there were so many people on the sports field, and Miku had only been at the school for a short time and wasn't familiar with the campus, so she probably wouldn't be able to find him.
And Eri Ri should be arriving soon too.
However, reality is often this unexpected.
Miku really found Mochizuki leaning against the wall looking at his phone based solely on the picture.
"Huh? Miku, you actually found me?"
"Hmph."
Mochizuki thought for a moment. There was no harm in taking Miku along. Aunt Sawamura Sayuri was quite easy to talk to.
And Eri Ri, it's all your fault for being so slow.
So the two of them waited by the wall for Eri Ri.
...
And Eri Ri, who was late because her classroom building was further away.
She hadn't gotten close enough to where Mochizuki and Miku were, and also because she was nearsighted.
She could only look from a distance, and her vision was a bit blurry.
Eri Ri first saw Mochizuki, and then it seemed she saw another girl next to him.
This immediately made Eri Ri's anger surge. He clearly made plans with me!
Originally, she was happy that Mochizuki had arrived early, thinking he really valued having dinner at her place.
But he was actually with another girl at the agreed-upon spot. This made Eri Ri very unhappy.
Eri Ri prepared to rush over and question Mochizuki about what was going on.
Eri Ri quickened her pace, and Mochizuki and Miku's faces gradually became clearer.
Heh... hehe... They're quite close, and she's actually so good-looking.
"Yoru!"
A sudden girl's voice.
She even called him by his name, something she herself was sometimes too embarrassed to do.
This instantly made Miku Nakano nervous. She quickly looked in Eri Ri's direction.
As expected, he was going to a girl's house, and it seemed their relationship was out of the ordinary. It was a good thing she had firmly followed him!
Eri Ri had also run up to the two of them.
Both girls ignored Mochizuki, observing each other and constantly speculating in their minds...
As for Mochizuki, he was unaware of the two girls' inner thoughts.
Seeing that Eri Ri had just arrived, slower than Miku.
He specifically said, "You're so slow, Eri Ri."
Miku: So her name is Eri Ri? She looks a bit like a foreigner...
However, the feeling Eri Ri gave Miku wasn't as threatening as the girls she had met on the Tennis court a few days ago!
