[I'll keep those letters you gave me.] ]

Narumi Yu wrote a note neatly and prepared to put it in Shiina Miyo's shoe cabinet at night.

But I feel that there is no envelope, just a note, it is better to thank me directly in person. So I clumped the note together and decided to go home and buy an envelope and write it on stationery.

……

When the school bell rings in the afternoon, the students leave the school in twos and threes, and about half of the students participate in club activities.

After all, Mikagehama High School allows students to join the homecoming department, and the condition is that they only take no more than three days off each month.

Narumi Yu went from the first floor of the club building to the highest floor, and the situation encountered was the same as that of Asahi Kurako at noon.

Whether it is the poster posted on the corridor wall of the club building, or the club introduction posted in front of each club classroom, most of them are full of the vitality of high school students who have nowhere to put them......

He felt deeply that he was out of place in this building.

[Hi Hi ~ This is the Ministry of Literature and Art]

[Mikagehama Literary Journal welcomes submissions~]

[Students who are interested in writing are welcome to join~]

[The Literature and Art Department often organizes members to participate in short story competitions, so be prepared to participate~]

[……]

[If you like to study literary knowledge, and if you like to read and share quietly, please move to the Classics Department~]

Narumi Yu looked at the notice posted at the entrance of the art department, hesitated, and finally did not go in.

It's not hard for him to compete, but more is better than less.

Because he had walked around the building first, he memorized the location of the activity rooms corresponding to all the clubs.

The Faculty of Classics is directly above the Faculty of Literature.

I remember that there was nothing in front of the door except for the number of the [Classics Department].

He stepped up the stairs, and the plank, which was already some age, made a "pop" sound under his feet. More than 20 years ago, the club building was still the school building of Mikagehama, and the building was about the same age as the previous principal.

Knock knock.

Knuckles tapped on the wooden door, and there was no response for half a sound.

Narumi put her ear to the door, and all she could hear was the wind blowing in through the window that she had forgotten to close, hula and hula as she flipped through the books spread out on the table.

He turned the doorknob and found it moving.

No one?

What is the meaning of the last sentence in the notice posted in front of the art department?

Persuade lovers of classics to give up their hobbies?

"I guess there are no club activities every day, or people haven't come yet......

With an optimistic attitude, Narumi Yu returned to the art department and knocked on the door.

“……”

"Ah, the Classics Department......" the low-ponytailed girl who opened the door said, "There are really people who like classical literature!" "Normally, there are no people." ”

"That sentence in the notice of the Ministry of Literature and Art?"

"That's it, it's our minister, and Kohiyama-san's sister was the head of the Classics Department before, so I more or less hope that the Classics Department can be revitalized."

Narumi Yu didn't continue to ask how the follow-up effect was, and looking at the girl's expression, he knew that the current situation of the Classics Department had not improved.

"If you're really interested in the Classics Division, you can go to the Student Council and find President Yayoi, who is now the head of the Classics Division."

"Thank you."

……

Coming out of the club building, Muraichi Konda, who was on the playground, happened to score a goal and was cheering and hugging his teammates unilaterally.

If he also has the energy of Muraichi Konda, he doesn't have to worry about joining any clubs.

The tree-lined path next to the student council office building and playground is the only way to start from the old school building.

Narumi saw a vending machine on the side of the road, bought two cans of Coke, and handed them to Muraichi Okita through the barbed wire.

It's a return gift for the eel rice at noon.

"I was so impressed! Yu remember I love this! ”

Ikinamura ran to take a can, pulled open the can, and poured it into his mouth with a "whoosh" sound.

Coke spilled from the corners of his mouth and sweat ran down his neck.

The jersey on the upper body is soaked with sweat, and you can see the strong muscle outline of Okita Muraichi. Narumi noticed that many girls were secretly watching him.

"It just so happened."

Just because Coke can't go wrong.

At least half of the vending machines are strange drinks that challenge the limits of human beings, which is unacceptable in every sense of the word.

After drinking one can, Narumi Yu handed over the other can.

"No," Konda Mura didn't answer, reluctantly refusing, "I've already drunk one can this morning, and any more would be a violation of my contract with the god of cola [only two cans a day]. ”

But he didn't like to drink Coke.

I can only hope that someone in the student council will like it. If you really can't do it...... I don't know if the black cat drank it or not.

In front of the Student Council.

Narumi tapped twice on the door as usual.

"Please come in."

The sound is clear and good, like wind chimes hanging on the door beam of a small shop.

"Excuse me."

With permission, Narumi pushed the door open and entered, seeing the owner of the wind chime sitting alone at his desk, bowing his head and correcting the papers.

He sat down at random and waited patiently for the other party to finish what he was doing.

The girl raised her head, her eyes were as bright as autumn water and looked at Narumi You, her good-looking eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and the gentle smile on her face was gone.

It's like meeting Narumi Yu is quite unpleasant.

"President Yayoi?"

Narumi glanced at the standing sign on the desk with the words "Yayoi Autumn Morning" printed on it, and wondered if he should explain the amnesia.

Maybe he's provoked the other party before. I knew that I had just delivered a Coke to Omada Village, so I asked about the situation first.

“…… It's okay. The girl's brows furrowed, and her expression relaxed, "Natsume-sensei told me about your situation. It didn't matter to you just frowning, it just suddenly came to mind. ”

That being said, the girl who had been curling the corners of her mouth even to correct the documents stopped smiling when she talked to him.

It all worries him.

"Did we know each other before?"

"There is no intersection in school." Yayoi Akizao asked rhetorically, "Is there anything wrong with the student union when Narumi Sanlai comes?" ”

"I want to join the Classics Club." Narumi said bluntly.

At the same time, the eyebrows that saw Yayoi Autumn Morning gradually wrinkled again, like wind chimes meeting a rainy day, and the crisp sound was drowned in the rain.

"Because the Classics Club is deserted, can you leave early or mess around? Or is it just an excuse to join the club in order to pursue me? Yayoi Aki was obviously asking Narumi Yu, but he used the tone of a declarative sentence, "To tell you the truth, those who wanted to join the Classics Department before were for these two purposes. ”

Yayoi Autumn is very beautiful, at least if you let Narumi Yu evaluate, she can be called a beautiful girl.

If you can see the charm value, it will be at least 9 points like him.

The smooth black hair hangs naturally, the skin of the slender neck is white, and the chest is slightly developed, and then it is blocked by the desk.

"Can I leave the Classics Department early?" Narumi really didn't know.

He joined the Classical Literature Club more or less with the mentality of messing around.

"No, you can leave at least an hour after school every afternoon, in the club room of the Classics Department, or in the Student Council."

"Can I mess around?"

“…… You tell me? Yayoi Akihaya finally smiled, and although the meaning was different, a beautiful girl would look good no matter how she smiled.

"There are usually club activities."

"Originally, the Department of Classics had a monthly magazine, but now I am the only one in the whole club, and the date of the last monthly magazine is still stuck in February of the previous year."

Yayoi Akizao raised his hand to pull the soft hair that fell on his chest because he lowered his head to write, and suddenly thought of something, and his face showed the same smile as before Imadegawa Chisaka kicked him into the pond,

“…… If you really want to join the Classics Department, you can write me an article. The subject matter is not limited, the format is not limited, and if it can interest me, I will promise to let you join the department. ”
