“How did you do?”

“I thought I would do a little better.”

The test results will come out today, and the classroom was busy talking about it during recess.

I have my test results handed to me, and I was shocked to see the score, which is higher than I had imagined.

Studying makes a lot of difference… It’s all thanks to Sara-senpai.

“Takanashi, your scores are pretty good!”

“Damn, I should have asked you to teach me.”

Even if you tell me that, I was taught to as well.

“It was the first time for me as well, getting a score like this. It was because of the study session with the student council.”

“Was it the effect of the Goddess teaching you? Kuh! I’m so jealous…”

“I also want to join.”

I won’t recommend that… They would probably end up getting pissed off…

“Kazunari, how was your test?”

“Honestly, it was shocking that I got good grades…”

At break time, Hayato came over.

Seeing him grin from ear to ear, I’m sure his test scores were good too.

“He~e, you really did a lot of studying. Or was it because of the beautiful teacher solely dedicated to Kazunari?”

“Eh? There was such a teacher? Please, I would be honored if you could introduce such a person to me.”

The conversation took an unpleasant turn because of Hayato’s unnecessary words.

“I can’t. That person only sees Kazunari-san, so that’s an impossible request. Even I can barely talk to her.”

“If even Yokogawa can’t talk with that person, what kind of relationship does she have with Takanashi?”

I’m sure I’ve attracted even more interest because of Hayato’s unnecessary words.

——————————————

“Congratulations to everyone. Thanks to the study sessions, we all got excellent grades. From now on, I plan to hold a study session before a test.”

It looks like everyone in the student council, including me, got good grades.

By the way, Sara-senpai did little to teach anyone but me, so the President taught everyone else himself.

But it’s great that everyone was able to raise their scores…

“Then, since the student council will be closed during the summer vacation, please enjoy yourselves and take care not to get injured or sick. See you all after the summer break.”

The President concluded, and the last student council meeting of the first semester was over.

“Here, ah~n!”

*Chomp*

*Munch**Munch*

“Ah–! Delicious! The lunch box meal was great, but it’s so much better when it’s freshly made.”

Today’s dinner was a hamburger steak.

It was a reward for working hard on the test.

“I guess so. I can do many things when I can make it on the spot like this.”

There will be no lunch boxes from tomorrow onwards, so I have to decide what to do for lunch.

I wonder, though, what Sara-senpai will do during summer vacation…

“Sara-senpai, what are your plans for summer vacation?”

When I asked that, Senpai made a thinking gesture and replied.

“My parents are always busy due to work, so I don’t have any special plans. If I had to say, I would say that I am going to help at my grandmother’s place.”

There was only a small shrine in her grandmother’s place. It was not a place for Shinto priests or prayers. So they don’t have summer festivals or anything like that.

A summer festival, huh…

“Sara-senpai, you are free to do all sorts of things with me then. Let’s go on dates and festivals!”

“Yes, I’m very much looking forward to it. Of course, I will take good care of Kazunari-san during the summer vacation too. Then I will be together with you all the time… I’m really looking forward to an enjoyable summer vacation.”

Saying this, Sara-senpai showed a pleasing smile.

“Good evening~.”

“Good evening… why did you call me? Is there something wrong?”

“It’s nothing, really.”

The one who suddenly called was Natsumi Yuzuki.

She was a close friend of Kazunari’s girlfriend, Satsukawa. I met her when I went to watch over their date before.

Since then, we have kept in touch and exchanged information.

However, nowadays, we have been in contact with each other for many other reasons… mainly complaining.

“Ha~a… then, what’s the problem?”

“What’s with that? Are you saying I can’t make a call for small talks? You should be honest and be happy.”

“Yes, yes. I’m so happy I’m crying tears of joy.”

Yuzuki-san seems quite friendly and always wears an air of being easy to talk to.

We’ve only met once, but her easygoingness makes it easy for me to talk to her.

“Whatever. But listen, did you know that those two…”

Apparently, she contacted me again to complain that Kazunari and Satsukawa-san were flirting in front of her.

Ha~a (*Sigh*)… I guess this will be another long story.

“Hey~, are you listening?”

“I am. But those two… especially Satsukawa-san. She doesn’t care about how she was being looked at if it’s for Kazunari’s sake, so I think it’s going to get even more amazing as they get to know each other better.”

It’s incredible how their relationship is right now. But I can’t imagine when Kazunari and Satsukawa-san become official lovers.

“Those two… they are already inseparable, right?”

“Maybe. I didn’t know about Takanashi-kun at first. Still, Sara is so single-minded about the person she loves that I think she’ll eventually think about the future.”

Did she mean… what comes after being lovers? I wonder if a high school student would think that far ahead.

“Rather than that, why don’t you get yourself a boyfriend? So that you won’t mind their flirting in front of you. I’m sure Yuzuki-san has a great selection.”

Though Yuzuki-san was a little boyish, she was a natural beauty. Although she was not a Yamato Nadeshiko type of beauty like Satsukawa-san.

“E-eh? I-is that how it goes?”

“Yes. I think you are a beauty, albeit in a different type from Satsukawa-san.”

There was no reaction from the other line.

That’s unusual.

“You made fun of me out of habit, Tachibana-kun. I’ll get back at you the next time we meet!”

“Out of habit… aren’t you being a little unreasonable?”

She’s still that type of person after all.
