This voice… It sounds familiar somehow. Have we met before?
“What is it? Senpai? If you keep staring like that, I’m going to get shy, you know~”
A girl with her hand pressed to her cheek, looking up at me.
She’s cute—she’s supposed to be cute, but… it’s annoying.
It’s as if I’m surprised by the fact that I thought that.
Hanazawa has already proven that I don’t mind a little cuteness.
How many times has Hanazawa-san’s deliberately cute act pierced my heart?
But she doesn’t make my heart flutter at all.
If anything, I even feel a bit cold toward her.
“Could it be… that you’ve fallen for me?”
A saccharine voice. As expected, my heart doesn’t skip a beat.
“No way. Are you okay? Did you get hurt?”
“You’re so cool and collected—that’s cute! Senpai!”
“I’m glad you’re okay.”
“Yes!”
The girl nodded, looked up at me, stared intently at my face, and tilted her head.
“Why would someone like you…?”
“Someone like me?”
“No! Never mind that! More importantly…? Thank you so much for saving me! As an apology for bumping into you—”
“No need to apologize! Please, spare me the apologies!”
“Huh…?”
Huh!? Remembering how suffocating it felt yesterday, I reflexively refused.
“Ah, uh, sorry, but really, no need to apologize.”
“Eh? Well, then at least give me your contact info.”
I tilted my head at the girl holding out her smartphone.
“My contact info?”
“Yes! …Wait, what? Could you say something, senpai?”
“What do you mean, ‘say something’?”
“…One more time.”
“One more time? Did I say something weird or something?”
“Hmm. Lucky me. I’ve already won.”
The girl flashed a somewhat malicious smile and pulled her hand back from holding out her phone.
“What do you mean?”
“Nothing, never mind. My name is Kuroi Amana, a first-year student. Nice to meet you.”
Kuroi started walking toward the school building, turning her back on me.
“Well then, senpai. See you later.”
She turned her head just enough to wave at me, and I muttered to her retreating back.
“I wonder if I should’ve given her my contact info…”
Oh well.
I started walking toward the school building.
I passed through the entrance, walked down the hallway, and just as I reached for the classroom door, someone grabbed my shoulder hard.
“Who was that girl?”
When I turned around, there was Hanazawa, her eyes gleaming with a dark light.
