Monday lunchtime, we are still the six of us. But from today, there was another seat change.
Kamiyama, Yayoi and I used to sit in a row, but now me and Kamiyama have switched seats. This means that Kamiyama will be facing Taiyo. In other words, the seats of me, Yayoi and Kamiyama now face Ibata, Satouchi and Taiyo.
“I moved here on my own wish, but something about this seat makes me feel shy.”
Kamiyama said.
“Really? I’m happy though.”
Taiyo said to Kamiyama.
“I’m happy too, but …… it’s something when you’re in front of me, Taiyo-kun. ……”
“We always do on dates, don’t you?”
“Yes, but it’s not like I’m facing Taiyo-kun at school …….”
“Ah, it’s just the two of them now.”
I looked at Taiyo and Kamiyama and said.
“W- what? It’s fine, we’re dating.”
Kamiyama retorts.
“Well, yeah, but—”
At that moment, someone enters the classroom. It’s Takayama Rinka, the student council president.
“Taiyou-kun!”
“Student council president ……”
“What are you doing here?”
Kamiyama scowled at her.
“No, I heard that Taiyo-kun has a girlfriend, so I came to see her. …… Is it Kamiyama-san after all?”
“Yeah. I’m not good enough for you?”
“No, it’s not. Congratulations to both of you.”
“Thank you.”
“But, without my feelings, I’d like you to help the student council.”
“President ……”
“You’re brilliant. You have charisma. I would be delighted if you would help me.”
‘That’s exactly what you want him to do, so he’ll spend less time with me. That’s not going to happen.”
Kamiyama stood up.
“N-no, that’s not what I mean. Kamiyama-san, I’d like you to help the student council.”
“Ha? Me?”
“Yes, that’s right. You’re a smart girl. I’ve been thinking that I want one girl like that on the student council. We need someone who can speak up clearly and speak out clearly. How about you and Taiyo kun?”
“I’ve never been on the student council …… before.”
“Don’t worry. I will teach you well. I’d really like it if you could help me.”
“What should I do ……?”
Kamiyama looked at Taiyo
“It’s okay, you should give it a try. I’ll support you.”
“Yes, ……, I understand. I’ll give it a go.”
“O-okay! Come to the student council room tomorrow at lunchtime. I’ll be waiting for you.”
Then the student council president left.
“Haaa I took it on unintentionally, but I wonder if it will be alright.”
“Fumika can do it.”
Yayoi said.
“Yes, yes, she’s quick-witted and, above all, she’s very well-spoken.”
“I’m sorry.”
“I’m just complimenting you. I think she’s the right person for the job.”
“Haa. Well, I’m sure it’ll be good for my application, so I’ll give it a go.”
“Yeah, I’ll be there for you.”
“Yeah. …”
At Taiyo’s words, Kamiyama and him looked at each other.
We don’t go into it any more, the four of us start talking.
“By the way, is there somewhere Yayoi wants to go on a date?”
Satouchi-san asks Yayoi.
“Eh, a date?”
“Yes, why don’t you and Nagatsuki go next week?”
“I thought next week was supposed to be the six of us playing together.”
“It was, but it won’t be a triple as it is. So go with the two of you first. We’ll double date.”
“I-I see ……”
Yayoi looked at me.
“Is there anywhere you want to go?”
I asked Yayoi, unable to think of anything.
“Well, …… I could say there is.”
“Yes, where?”
“Here.”
Yayoi showed me the ‘After School Journal’.
“Is that ……?”
“Yeah. It’s set in Ashikita, so I want to make a pilgrimage to the holy place.”
“I see. ……”
Is the setting of the anime a pilgrimage to a sacred place? Ashikita is about 40 minutes by train from my hometown of Yatsushiro, so it’s certainly not impossible to go there.
“Okay, all right. I’ll make a plan and we’ll go.”
“Yes!”
