Part 8
”What are you guys doing?” Suddenly surrounded by Ike and the others ho he had no connections, even the nori could not hide his surprise It was there that Kushi+da, who ue of the earlier exa to him
”Sorry for being so sudden, Katsuragi-kun, do you have some time?”
”Kushi+da, huh? What is the i asks
”The truth is, I heard it from Ike-kun and the others But isn't today supposed to be Katsuragi-kun's birthday?”
”Muuthat's right butyou've figured it out pretty well”
Perhaps he had no recollection of telling this fact to anyone, but he looks at us with a slightly confused expression
”So that's why the four of us here wanted to celebrate it with Katsuragi-kun and that's e called out to you” Kushi+da continued
”No There's no reason to do anything that special A at this, he's put his guard up That was inevitable It wouldn't be strange even if he thought it were some trap frons of iely thanks to Kushi+da's presence
”Do you have any plans to meet someone else today?” Kushi+da asks
”That's not the case but” Kushi+da then claps her hands with a big slad' If she shows that kind of smile, any ordinary man would fall in love with her with that one shot
But this man is the leader of Class A, and is not someone that can simply be sunk like this
”I' If there's any ulterior i said
”There are no ulterioryour birthday, Katsuragi” Ike said that with a serious face He's probably thinking about celebrating Katsuragi's birthday from the bottom of his heart filled with sympathy
”Mu” This is a bind, as if to say that Katsuragi tightened his mouth with an expression of rejection And so I realized that in his hands, Katsuragi was holding the sa as yesterday
It was soo, and yet he was carrying it around with him wherever he went I wonder why It seems Ike and the others have not realized this (or have realized and are pretending to not have) and they called out to Katsuragi
”Sorry but I have business at the school now I apologize” Katsuragi said
”School, eh? Speaking of which, recently you've been alearing your unifor?” Ike asked in a casual ruousness in that one word
”What do you mean by that?” Froo, it seei has entered his battle mode as his expression turned sharp
”Ehh? What is what?” Ike ree but that aloofness collapsed with the next lines that followed
”How did you know that I earingeyes that seeulped
He must have picked up the words that hispered in his subconscious and re inconvenient
”Ehh? No, that's”
”Yesterday after you met me, I met up with Ike and the others I told the been left with no other choice but to follow up like that, I told that to Katsuragi
”I thought it was unusual clothing for summer vacation” I continued
”I seethinking about it I suppose that's true”
”Yeah that's right That, that” Ike said
”So why're you going to school?”
The panicking appearance of Ike was still suspicious, but for now I've succeeded in changing the topic of the conversation
”It's personal Nothing to do with you guys” Katsuragi replies
”Thisyou?”
”Why do you think so?”
”Both yesterday and today, you were carrying around that bag, right? It's a bit unnatural for you to go to school with that too And you already had that bag in your hands e met at the shop yesterday It's been at least three times, hasn't it?” I asked him
There's the fact that I did see it by coicidence, but it's not that hard to infer that from what I said
”I have soi tells ain, the name of an unexpected place appeared
”Could it be the reason you earing your uniform yesterday was because you went to the student council room?”
”that's right But it seems they were out”
”If I recall, up until yesterday they were renovating the roohtly surprised face and proceeded to ask me how I knew that”
”I happen to have some ties with the student council president”
”So you were acquaintances with that student council president?”
”I wonder if you could call hi like that anyways” I replied
”Ahh, I see Horikita of Class D is the student council president's little sister huh?” The si quickly reached that conclusion on his own and was convinced
”If that's the case, it would be a lot better if you accompanied i requested as such from i is ai at
”That's a coincidence I also have soht now”
”So that's why you're also wearing your unifori's aiet to the bottom of this
Nodding once, Katsuragi began heading towards the school, towards the student council room
”Excuse i, with a clear voice, said that as he knocked on the door to the student council room
Student council president Horikita Manabu and Secretary Tachibana came out to welcome us The older Horikita immediately noticed my presence
”It seehtly bowed to return the greeting Secretary Tachibana, on the other hand, had an extreusted expression on her face
”Today I came here because I have a request to h the student council and that is why I've come”
”It seems you came by both yesterday and the day before yesterday We were absent due to the renovations I apologize”
”No It is currently the su theon the situation, I had been thinking to go directly to your dori said
In the i decide to stop by this place And what exactly are his intentions in being here That is finally being revealed
”In this school, during the period of enrollment, we are forbidden to contact the outside without express permission I would like to inquire further into that and so I have come here”
”Froh the school regulations? Extreme, unavoidable reasons as the exception, contact is strictly forbidden”
Exactly as the older Horikita said, only in unavoidable circumstances is this permitted Severe illness or injuries are the only tiranted
”Yes But in regards to individual cases, hoould I be best advised to deal with it I would like to deliver a package and a rounds Of course, I'i said
In other words, a unilateral communication
”It's the sa Even if this is unilateral, it still is forbidden” Those words were returned to Katsuragi professionally But Katsuragi too, wouldn't even be here if this was enough to make him back down
