I got an “Ahh” from Lida.

“I see, so Oojirou-kun and Lida-chan are that close. Huh~..there’s no room for me anymore..”

Saotome was almost crying and disappointed.

” .... I’m not going to lose yet.”

Hiyasada-senpai mumbled something in a whisper, shaking the paper cup in her hand violently and looking upset. Hey, hey, you two are probably shocked too much. But why do you look so disappointed?

The welcoming party was over.

Lunch was also over.

I couldn’t concentrate that much in the afternoon class because of the intense heat. .... After school. As I looked out the window at the sky, I found myself alone with Lida in the classroom.

“.... Oojirou.”

“What’s up?”

“Just the two of us, huh?”

“Well, most of the students go to their club activities.”

In this school, there was a system where you had to be a member of a club. Therefore, I was the only one in the “homecoming club”. In the homecoming club, after about thirty minutes of self-study, you can go home. That’s why I was lazing around like this.

Lida is also in the homecoming club now.

“Hmmm. Club activities, huh? “

“Aren’t you going to join one?”

“There is no archery club. It would have been nice if there was at least an archery club, but this school doesn’t seem to have one. Too bad.”

Lida stands in front of me, her shoulders slumped.

The window is slightly open, so her skirt is fluttering. She was holding her skirt elegantly, as if she was worried about the wind. It’s so short, .....

“The seat in front of me is empty, why don’t you sit down?”

“Yes. Then .... kya!”

At that moment, a strong breeze blew and bombarded Lida’s skirt. It was only for a moment, but I think I saw it ...., was it dotted, maybe not.

It was too vague to tell!

“.... No?”

“Oh my gosh! Do you want to see it, Oojirou?”

She puffed up her cheeks and said something like that. As a matter of fact, I had already seen it many times at the apartment. The bathroom was littered with colorful underwear and Lida was too vulnerable.....

“No, I can’t help but see them when I get home.”

“Oh, I see. Then – here you go.”

Gently closing her eyelids, Lida pouts her glossy, cherry-red lips. You want me to .... do it for you? I’m not sure I have the courage to do that...., but I think it’s time to show my courage.
