After school today too, I have a study session with Hiori and the others... not, I have my part-time job. Hazuki-san too, she has her part-time job at the bookstore.
Today's study session consists of four people: Hiori, Himura-san, Kazuo, and Shimizu...

Since we are sitting close to each other, I teach Kazuo Mathematics II and B, and sometimes Classics to Hazuki-san. Teaching others sure deepens my understanding of the lesson. 2023-12-07 22:55:56 +0000 UTC View Post
Himura-san and Hazuki-san's cleaning duty is over. So, the six of us leave Kasagaya High School and start heading towards my house.
It takes more than 20 minutes to get there from the school on foot. Himura-san and Hazuki-san have never gone to my house. So when I ask them how we shou...

Today too, I will continue my school life as usual.
I attend classes while occasionally looking at Hiori, and eat lunch alone with Hiori during lunch break. As I spend such a fun time, before I know it, it’s after school.

I worked hard at my part-time job at Zosol all day today.
Also, today was Mother's Day. Perhaps that's why, compared to a typical Sunday, there were more customers with their families, and more customers buying coffee beans, instant coffee, and sweets to t...

I arrive at Hiori's house at the appointed time. This is the first time I've come here from my house by bicycle. The sunlight is warm and the air is refreshing, so it felt great to pedal.
I park my bicycle in the yard of the Aoyama house and ring the intercom.

In stark contrast to yesterday, which was cloudy all day, it’s been sunny today from this morning. The sky is a beautiful blue with almost no clouds. Along with this, the temperature has risen and the weather is pleasantly warm.

About 10 minutes after I went out into the hallway.
The door to Hiori's room opened, and Hazuki-san said that. Hazuki-san is holding a fluffy and puffy bath towel.

It’s the long-awaited after school. Because the time was moving incredibly slowly, I feel more liberated than on usual Fridays.

Immediately after the closing ritual, Himura-san came to me with her bag in her hand and prom...

I wake up, open the curtains, and... I see leaded clouds spread out in the sky. When I open the window a little, cold air comes into the room. The weather forecast last night said it was going to get cold but, to think it’s this cold.
“So cold.”

Golden Week is over, and school life begins again today.
Since there is no danger of rain today, I decided to go to school by bicycle. I leave the house and head for the underpass where I will meet up with Hiori.

The gondola returns to the ground and the staff onii-san opens the door. I wonder how many times I've been told “welcome back” by a staff member. I don't know the number, but it seems certain that this will be the day I’m to...

We spend the afternoon visiting classic amusement park attractions like Teacups and go-karts, and riding the roller coaster for the second time. All the while, I feel happy seeing Hiori smiling so much.

When we reached the exit and left the haunted house, Hazuki-san said that in satisfaction. She was in high spirits from beginning to end. Because she was there, even when ghosts and specters appeared, my fear and surprise quickly disappe...

The moment the seats reach the ground, the staff onee-san cheerfully says that. I wonder if it’s a rule in Dome Town to say “Welcome back” when a thrill ride returns to the starting point. It feels good to be welcomed back, even if it's a rule...

When the roller coaster train returned to the boarding area, the staff onii-san from earlier said that to us. The train was quite fast, and the course had some pretty scary points. That's why when I hear the onii-san’s voice, saying, “It's over!” I feel relieved.

When they get off the train, Kazuo, Shimizu-san, and Hazuki-san cheerfully say, “We're here!” and right as I am thinking ‘we’re still in the nearest station, though’, 2023-11-25 12:17:27 +0000 UTC View Post
