Sigh... That was so much fun!
Yeah!
Why are you two sighing while looking at your phones?
We were just going through our pics from the Sports Festival and remembering how exciting it was!
Look, this one's from the three-legged race you were in, Mafuyu!
Wow. You took a really good photo.
Right?!
The girl you were paired up with was a first-year student, wasn't she? What was her name again?
Otori.
Yeah, Otori! She was off the wall!
My friend from the committee said that she came up with a lot of suggestions to make this year's sports day as fun as possible.
Really? That's impressive for a first year!
Yeah, it is.
Oh... I have my student council meeting soon. I'll see you later.
(We're meeting in this classroom I think...)
Doop dee doo♪
(That voice...)
Doop dee doo♪
(It's her. Looks like she's not running around the corridors today.)
Hello, Otori.
You seem to be skipping in high spirits.
Yup♪ I won a prize with a snack I bought... Hrk!!
A-A-A-Asahina...!
H-Hello!
What pleasant weather we're having today!
Um... Er...
...
Good morning, Asahina! Could I ask you for some pointers during practice after school?
H-Hey, I was going to ask her first! If you have time, could you help me with something too?
(The girls from my club treat me like some sort of idol, but Otori's different...)
Um, Otori...
Eek! Y-Yes...?!
You seem to be staring at me...
Is there something on my face?
S-S-S-Sure there is! Your eyes and nose and mouth...!
Huh...?
Heh... Hehe. Well, you're right about that.
Oh... That was a real smile!
What do you mean?
Eep! N-Nothing!
Huh...
By the way, I heard that you came up with a lot of suggestions for improving this year's Sports Festival.
I'd like to thank you for that. I enjoyed it a lot.
I'm ready to win!
Let's do this, Asahina!
(Huh? Why did that pop into my mind all of a sudden?)
...
Is there really nothing on my face...?
Hehehe...
No, but you're actually smiling now!
Huh...?
I mean, I don't know why, but you smile differently sometimes...
But during the Sports Festival, your smile was real, and seeing that made me really happy!
My smile was real...?
I had a ton of fun in the three-legged race with you too!
Oh, sorry... My friends are waiting for me!
Okay, see you.
(She doesn't really know me, and yet...)
...
What a strange girl...
