Until the end of the time for Suzuki Mamoru's transformation, the question of "the assessment of the kendo club" still could not be answered. Two high school girls are practicing kendo, and no one knows that there is a cat waiting for their answer.

In the end, Mamoru Suzuki had no choice but to take his new name and leave the kendo hall amid the farewell of Tamashiro Michiyo,

"Kaji, see you tomorrow."

Although she said goodbye like this, the girl was probably looking forward to seeing him again in the next time... Seeing his cat form, but for the next two days, Mamoru Suzuki didn't go to the kendo gym.

Too often, too, he fears suspicion.

Moreover, perhaps there is no useful new information for the time being, after all, the two female high school students are there to train, not to chat, and in an hour, the information they get is quite limited.

The observation of the kendo hall in the first two days failed to further improve the ability of "turning into a cat".

What's more, the start of school is imminent, and when he returns to school after a year off, he will also start to calm down and review.

During the last two days of spring break in April, sitting at my desk, the sun was shining, and the warm wind blew through the window, occasionally lifting the corners of the books.

The time is quiet, April 7 has arrived, and today is the first day of school.

I went to bed at 11 o'clock last night and woke up on time at 7 o'clock today. His biological clock was always on time.

I got up, washed, had breakfast, and when the time came, Mamoru Suzuki went out.

On the first day of school, the sky was still good. The chill of last night and the dew remained in the morning, and the blue sky was cold and clear, and a few white clouds appeared, and the early morning sun showed gold after passing through the clouds. The cold wind blows the skirts of high school girls.

Mamoru Suzuki looked intently at the girl in front of him.

The upper body is a Makino High School women's suit uniform, the long black hair tied into a ponytail behind the back is dyed by the morning sun, the legs under the pleated skirt of the gray uniform are straight and slender but do not lose the vitality of sports, the skirt sways with the help of the wind with the pace, the calves are smooth and clean, and the white socks look extremely pure.

It is the back of Tamajo Michiyo.

It's a neighbor, and it's the same high school, so it's normal to meet each other on the road.

But... Walk up and walk along?

Mamoru Suzuki looked at the distance between the two of them, which was about ten meters.

In fact, Mamoru Suzuki and Tamaki Sanchiyo are not familiar with each other, and even if you count the time he visited Tamaki's house when he moved, he and Tamaki Sanchiyo have only met twice.

The cat form and the human form cannot be generalized, and it is important to remember that he is now Mamoru Suzuki, not Kaji.

Unfamiliar neighbors, going to school with peers are somewhat abrupt.

Mamoru Suzuki just followed behind Tamashiro Michiyo all the way until the stone engraved with the words "Makino High School" came into view.

Returning to school after a year off is still very emotional, a feeling that is both familiar and unfamiliar.

"Long time no see."

"Good morning."

"School is back."

"Are you done with your homework?"

"Please, don't ask this."

"Well... That's going to be a new class. I don't know if I can continue the class. ”

"Surely."

The students passing by, the energetic greetings and plays, instead of the silence and silence in the hospital, the suits and uniforms, the skirts of the high school girls, everything is nostalgic.

And the figure approaching him in the field of vision... Well?

Mamoru Suzuki looked around and refocused his gaze on the front.

"Suzuki-san." A clear voice came out of Sakura's lips and teeth, and the person who came to him was Tamaki Michiyo.

was a little surprised, but I didn't expect that Yucheng Sanchiyo would take the initiative to talk.

"That's... Yucheng-san, what's wrong? After being stunned for a moment, Suzuki Mamoru came back to his senses, his voice puzzled.

"Lost?"

“... Uh, no. ”

Jadejo Michiyo nodded, and the movement of turning around was extremely smooth, and the flying ponytail did not hesitate.

Mamoru Suzuki blinked ignorantly.

"Lost? What do you mean? Look at me standing here and think I'm lost?"

「......」

Mamoru Suzuki probably guessed Tamashiro's thoughts, and then inexplicably felt a little funny.

He restrained his smile and looked at the girl's back and stepped forward.

"Yucheng-san." Side by side.

Tamaki Michiyo turned his face sideways.

"It's not that I'm lost, it's that I'm nostalgic for campus life."

"I see."

"By the way, since I just happened to meet Yucheng, I have a question."

The girl expressed her doubts with her eyes.

Mamoru Suzuki explained, "It's about the cat." In fact, a few days before the start of school, I saw it on the road again, and by an unexpected coincidence, I wanted to ask Yucheng classmates, did you name it? ”

“......”

There was no expression on Tamajo Michiyo's face.

It's normal to name a cat, but when the cat is its own... Give yourself a name, then tell the other person to call you by that name in the future...

Slightly...

Mamoru Suzuki saw Tamashiro Michiyo turn forward, leaving him with only a side face.

"I haven't chosen a name yet." She said.

"Didn't you?"

"Nope."

"I also want to ask Yucheng-san, after all, it would be very inconvenient to meet it if you could only call it a "white cat"."

Tamaki Michiyo hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Suzuki-san, do you like talking to cats very much?" ”

Suzuki Mamoru did not change his face: "Because of physical reasons, when I was still in Tokyo, I often had only "Michael" with me, and I gradually developed this habit. ”

"I'm sorry."

"No, nothing."

“......”

“......”

After a moment of cold scene with only the sound of footsteps between the two, Tamajo Sanchiyo suddenly turned around again and said, "Since Suzuki-san, you can give it a name." ”

Mamoru Suzuki confirmed: "Is that okay?" ”

"Hmm."

Yucheng Sanchiyo nodded, and then, he quickened his pace and walked forward.

The two are indeed not familiar enough to be able to walk together.

Mamoru Suzuki didn't care about her anymore and slowed down.

He's thinking about the name of the cat.

Ahead, the voices of people are in the ears, and students are crowded in front of the bulletin board.

In the new school year, classes will be reassigned.
