I, Fujibayashi Sana, was leading a boring life during the Golden Week holidays.
At home, I was still all alone and my parents did not come home.
I didn’t feel like going out, so I ordered food from a delivery service every day. It was the same as usual.

However, since entering the second grade, my school life, which had not changed at all, started to show some changes little by little.

I think it all started with that encounter.
I thought mountain climbing would be the worst, but it wasn’t so bad.

“Ah, I should have asked Arase for his contact information.”

I say those words as I slump in bed.

Haah…… it would be a waste to waste a consecutive holiday at home like this. While thinking about it, I decided to go to a hair salon to kill a little time.

The hair salon is located in the neighboring town of Nagahama, so I had to take a train to get there.
I entered my favorite hair salon and took a seat as the beautician in charge urged me to do so.

I thought there would be a lot of people there during Golden Week, but I was glad that the salon was flexible because I am a customer of the salon. As expected of a high-class hair salon.

“What would you like me to do today?”
“Well, can I have my ends trimmed? Oh, and when you’re done, can you do eyelash perms as well?”

This hair salon also offers eyelash perm service. I had been slacking off lately, and most of them were already coming off.

“Okay~.! Then, I’ll get them done!”

Then the hairdresser who is often in charge of my hair cut it while making small talk with me.

“Hoaaa, Sana chan’s hair is really beautiful. I envy you. Are you going somewhere from now on?”
“Hmm, nothing in particular. Lying around at home. …..”
“Eeh, What a waste of time and effort to go to the salon and come home with beautiful hair! Don’t you have a boyfriend or something?”
“No, no, no, I don’t have a boyfriend.”
“You said that! You must be popular, right? If I were a guy, I wouldn’t leave a girl like Sana chan alone. I’m confident that I would definitely pick up a girl like Sana-chan!”
“Of course, I do get approached by guys. They are usually guys like monkeys who are looking for a hookup. I don’t like that kind of thing.”

Earlier, I was approached by a flirtatious-looking guy who was a college student before I got here. Others, like a slightly overweight old man. I was invited to be a daddy’s girl.
It’s just like that.

Well, admittedly, I’m in that category, too.
Today I’m wearing skinny jeans and a light knit sweater. I think it emphasizes my breasts to men. I’ve felt several eyes on me.
But who cares about that? It’s the way I like to dress.

“Haha …… sorry about that. It’s true that Sana chan is fashionable, isn’t she? I guess a lot of people come up to you for that purpose.”
“Yes. I don’t like it. …… Oh, but there was one person who was a little weird. A single person might be strange.”

I thought of Arase. My encounter with Arase was also a flirtation, but somehow I didn’t feel as disgusted with him as I did with the others.
Was it because I didn’t see any ulterior motives? I guess it was because I didn’t see any ulterior motives. At first I didn’t understand why he was picking on me even though he didn’t seem to be interested in me.

“Well, what kind of boy are you talking about?”
“Hahaha, obviously not used to girls. When I teased him, he got flustered.”

Just seeing Arase flustered made me feel happy.

“Oh, so you like the innocent ones?”
“I mean, ……, well, I mean, he’s …… responsive, isn’t he?”

I don’t like the innocent ones. If anything, Arase’s reaction is more that way, but there is still something core to his actions. He was the type of guy I had never met before.

“Heee, tell me more about him!”

Then I had my hair cut and eyelashes permed while talking with the hairdresser about Arase. I was surprised when I realized it was over.

Leaving the salon with beautiful hair and curled eyelashes.
After all, having my hair cleaned up at the salon makes me feel good.

“I wish you hadn’t said something so strange.”

I have been thinking about what she said to me on the way home.

─ ─ Sana chan, when you were talking about that person, you sounded like a girl!

I don’t understand. I’ve been a girl since birth.

Well, I’m not going to worry about that, I think I’ll stop by somewhere, eat something delicious, and go home.

“…… come to think of it, the curry that Arase made was delicious. I want to eat it again ……”

There is nothing I can do about this. First of all, I haven’t seen Arase during the Golden Week holidays.

“Haa……I knew I should have asked him for his contact information…….huh?”

I’ll definitely ask him after Golden Week, I decided, and then I saw a familiar figure.

“It’s Asagiri san”

Asagiri-san was standing in line at the crepe store.

To be honest, I have a bit of a hard time with Asagiri-san. The fact that I had a fight with her at the beginning of the meeting has been lingering in my mind.
But perhaps more than that, it was because I thought she was somewhat similar to me.

“……a guy!”

Asagiri-san bought a crepe at the store and, to my surprise, ran up to the man who was waiting for her with it.

I saw something unexpected and froze. Even though I don’t go to school, I hear a lot about Asagiri-san.
She’s beautiful, but she doesn’t hang out with anyone but Kurase and doesn’t take up the advances of men.

“Uwaaa. I’m surprised. …… ah? But younger?”

The boy looked younger than we were. He looked like he was just barely in high school.

They disappeared into the city.
I felt strange seeing this unexpected side of my acquaintance, and decided to go home after hanging around for a while.

When evening came and I arrived at the station, I decided to walk home.
I could have taken a cab, but sometimes it’s nice to have a day like that.
To tell the truth, I was hoping that I might be able to see Arase. But reality doesn’t work that way.
As I left the ticket gate and walked toward home, I saw another familiar face.

It was Kurase-san.

Kurase-san is walking around, kind of scurrying around and paying attention to her surroundings.
That girl is a little strange, but she is a good girl. At first I thought she was a douchey committee chair type, but she turned out to be a natural.

Kurase-san happens to be walking in the same direction as my house.

“Hnn….?”

Behind Kurase-san, a hooded person was walking. He was of a height that I had seen somewhere before. He was of a certain height. Probably a man.

It would be fine if they were just walking in the same direction, but the atmosphere was suspicious, and I decided to follow him for a while. Maybe he’s trying to do something to Kurase san

I followed him for a while, but he was still suspicious. The man follows Kurase-san, sneaking and hiding.
My suspicions turned to certainty.

I quickly approached him and decided to ask him

“Hey, what are you doing?”
“!!!!”
“Ah, Hey!”

The person who was startled by my call turned around for a moment, looked at me, immediately changed direction and ran away.

“That was …….”

The hood was off as he drove away.

But more importantly, Kurase-san.
I was worried about Kurase-san, so I decided to call out to her.

“Oh, but ……”

I don’t usually get involved with people at school, so I don’t know how to talk to …… them.
I thought I was able to talk to some extent when I was climbing the mountain,…….

Like that, I was just going to go along with Kurase-san without saying a word.

Then Kurase san called somewhere and suddenly started to run.

“She ran away!?”

I was caught up in the chase, too, and ran after her.

I turned a corner and finally caught up with her.
I don’t usually exercise, so I ran as fast as I could. I didn’t have time to call out to her, so I tapped her on the shoulder to get her to notice me.

“Kurase-san! H… ha…ha…. ha….”
“Kyaaaaaa”
“Eh! Wait!!”

Kurase-san screamed and shrank back on the spot.
This makes it look like I’m threatening Kurase-san!

“Kurase-san!”
“…… Hoee?”

Finally. Breathless, Kurase-san looked up, slightly teary-eyed, when I called out to her again.

“H ….. ha ……, why are you running away ……?”
“Ah, huh? Sana-chan?”

There was Kurase-san’s face looking at me with a pouty face.

“W-Why?”
“‘Well, I saw you. …… and I didn’t know how to talk to you. And then you ran away.”
“Ah! I-I didn’t know that. …… Sorry”
“No, it’s okay. Don’t apologize.”
“Guu ……”
“Oh, wait! Why are you crying?”
“Eh? No, I’m just …… a little relieved.”
“Kurase! …… Fujibayashi?”

Then someone came.
A man’s voice I had heard before called out Kurase-san’s and my name.

“Eh, Arase!”

There was Arase, whom I had not seen since climbing the mountain.

Oh, no……..
This looks like I’m making Kurase-san cry, no matter what you think, right?
Arase compares Kurase-san and me with a dubious look on his face.

So I think I’ve pieced together the future.

The guy in the dream was Nanami’s father (guess) but I’m trying to remember, was he wearing a hood?

Then theirs the dead highschool student, which I’ve guessed is either Nanami or a girl who hasn’t been introduced.

The hooded guy is pretty obvious though.
It’s Takahashi.
