CONNECTING CHAPTER

The Outcast

The next day Raira Academy

Seeing Yahiro swollen-faced when he reached school, Himeka inched closer

Hie bandage, rubbed at the wound on his face as he replied

“Are you all right?”

“My bones were fine and all, so yeah”

“Ah, no, that’s definitely not the case”

It was not completely unrelated to the search for the Headless Rider, but that had certainly not been the cause of the incident

“Yeah, thanks” “?”

“…”

A strange atmosphere came on between them, and for a while both were speechless

“Mo~rning! Doing well?”

“Hey, did you hear? Looks like the Headless Rider caht, you know?”

“…!”

Kuon justified himself pre-emptively—but Himeka did not chide hied to change the pace,

“B, by the way, I wanted to get a TV or radio to put in my room Is there anywhere nearby that sells cheap?”

“No… I say it’s boarding, but really I’ one room at a house…”

“If you’re looking for that, there’s Sonohara Hall, it’s an antiques store near my place…”

“It was always closed before, but last month it renovated and reopened It seeht it over, so in the end it was started up again I think in the storefront there was an old radio that s on display were all unusual; old katanas and strange vases… The lady running the store graduated fro”

And Kuon replied:

“Don’t be so pushy”

“All right”

“I do want to talk to both of you more about the Headless Rider, too, so…”

Kuon clapped his hands together, but Yahiro said, anxiously: “Ah, but I have some ith the library committee after school today…”

“It’s all right I’ll wait until you’re done”

And with Himeka’s pro together after school

After school Raira Academy, 8th floor The library

“But is it really okay…? Though it should be fine if it’s not a bother…”

“He~y, Mizuchi-kun”

The boy turned, thinking there could be a new task for him, and the senior pointed to the librarian’s room and said:

“The library co you He wants to talk or so”

30 minutes later The school entrance

“I’m so sorry, I’m late”

“Yo, was there trouble? Or just a lot to do?”

“Ah, the as fun, but I got called out by the library committee president”

Yahiro nodded slightly to Himeka
