Chapter 1: You’re acting weird, Hiiragi-san.

Based on the weather forecast for the next week, it wouldn’t be surprising if the end of the rainy season is announced soon. The days dominated by the umbrella icon everywhere will be over, and from now on, sunny day icons will start and continue. When I think about it, I feel a bit…

…nostalgic looking at the cloudy sky visible from the classroom window.

…Well, anyway, the situation I was worried about didn’t quite happen as well.

The day before yesterday, Katase confessed to me, and I turned her down. There was one concern that could have stemmed from that outcome.

In the case if Katase’s confession was a lie, a so-called “fake confession,” in such a case…

Whether I accepted or rejected, the only thing awaited me was the worst possible future.

If I accepted, I’d be laughed at; if I rejected it, I’d be ridiculed.

I really wanted to avoid at least that. But, somehow, it seems my fears were absolutely unfounded. No one at all in the class is paying any attention to me.

Which means… —Katase was serious about liking…

‘Katase genuinely likes me’ Just when I was about to conclude that, several different thought manifests and lingers around my mind:

And the fact about her crafty side.

…Simpleton? Maybe. No, maybe even bringing this up again is odd to begin with.

I turned down Katase’s feelings about me, and it was the end with that.

There’s no point in overthinking about this and that, after all’s over.

Even though the ideal of my solitary(bocchi) school life wasn’t achieved, but that’s fine.

Since I told her that we could get along being friends, I’ll have to do the bare minimum. If in time, Katase finds it annoying, she’ll cut ties with me by herself. When that happens, I can once again enjoy going along my solitary(bocchi) path.

“……………………”

Well, putting aside the matter with Katase for now… what’s going on with Hiiragi these days? Does she have some complaint against me or what?

It’s the break after the third period.

In just another hour, and we will finally reach our lunchtime… but in that meantime, I’ve had made eye contact with Hiiragi quite a lot already.

Maybe “made eye contact” isn’t accurate. She’s been glaring at me constantly, and when I sense her gaze and look back in horror, but I am the only one looking; this has been going on for quite a bit. This can’t be called a coincidence at all.

And even now, Hiiragi is staring daggers at me. It’s not just my misconception; I am definitely sure; she’s glaring at me.

For some time, I haven’t spoken to Hiiragi recently, nor have we made eye contact. Yet, right as soon the break ended, this started.

There’s only one thing that comes to mind: the incident regarding with Katase. But why in the world am I supposed to be glared for a reason like that? Whatever the case, I followed through on my word. There’s no context for her to glare at me at all.

Ah… I hate this… It’s so uncomfortable.

The All so mysterious pressure coming from Hiiragi. I don’t know the reason, and because I don’t know, I can do nothing but lament.

If this continues all day, and if the proprietor doesn’t take any further action regarding this… then I have no choice but to make a move myself after all.
