CHAPTER 1-2

They took the automatic bus froot off at the Alrescha bus stop

Masaki was forcefully dragged along by shi+rley, since their arms were linked

“Look, we’re here!”

Masaki’s close proximity to shi+rley’s soft, warm body made it difficult for him to relax

“I-I got it I won’t get lost, so I’m fine now”

The area was overfloith students heading to school They were all wearing the same uniform as shi+rley

Since he was new and his arm was intertwined with shi+rley’s, everyone’s attention was on him

“Masaki, have you heard about the classes yet?”

“No I haven’t heard anything, so I think you should tell iven so when I took a quick look through them”

“Alright Our class is Year 2, Class A It’s on the 45th floor…”

“Seriously, the 45th floor!?”

“Uh-huh Alrescha goes all the way up to the 60th floor The cafeteria at the top has a really good view”

Masaki looked up at the building she pointed out

The glass skyscraper towered over its surroundings The first floor had an entrance, and the second and third floors had stairs leading up to thelass

“Is it all classroo, not a school”

“Ahaha The first 29 floors are special classrooh 35, and from there to floor 40 are the first year classrooh 45 are the second year classrooms, and up to the 50th floor are the third year classrooms ”

“Woah… what’s on the last ten floors? ”

“The cafeteria!”

“That’s quite a”

“I felt the sah I was surprised when I changed schools, I got used to the idea almost immediately”

“That’s okay, but… shouldn’t we separate our arms now, shi+rley?”

“Why?”

“Well… isn’t it a little e…”

She gave a carefree smile

“Nihaha, don’t worry too much about it, Masaki!”

“R-really?”

Masaki wondered if he was being too self-conscious

“Now, let’s go!”

“A-ah!”

They passed through the entrance and into a passage wide enough to be called a station concourse, and soon they ended up in a large hall

This seemed to be the heart of the skyscraper

In the center of the hall was a curved wall, or maybe it should be called a round colu the wall, and the words “ELEVATOR PILLAR” were printed on it

One by one, the students filed into the elevators

“There’s a lot of elevators”

“But wouldn’t there be a long wait? Especially during lunch”

“What – because there are a lot of students?”

“Even though there are elevators all the way around the big pillar, everyone is lined up on one side, so the elevators on the other side aren’t being used”

“Hahaha… I see”

“Are there stairs as well?”
