Chapter 112: Good Friends and Good Friends
"Good morning."
"Good morning~"
...Although it was just a greeting no different from usual, both Aragaki Takiya and Kato Megumi felt the distance between them closing.
How should I put it? If their previous relationship was that of front-seat classmates + friends, then now they were truly good friends.
The kind of good friends who would keep in touch frequently even after going to different universities.
"Aragaki, I heard something big is going to happen today."
Seeing Aragaki Takiya sit in his seat, Kato Megumi turned around and spoke.
"Hmm? Did something good happen?"
Listening to Kato Megumi's words, Aragaki Takiya also felt that the atmosphere in the class was off. The students in the class today seemed a bit too excited, and considering today was Monday, they weren't usually like this.
"It seems our class is having PE with two other classes this afternoon, so they got all excited."
Feeling the surrounding atmosphere that only usually existed on Fridays, Kato Megumi shared the news she had received.
"But that's nothing special, right? It's just a PE class..."
"Apparently, the International Cultured Education Class is with us too."
"I see, then never mind."
Hearing Kato Megumi's answer, Aragaki Takiya instantly understood everything.
Why was the class atmosphere so excited today? It was simply because of the International Cultured Education Class.
One must know that Yukinoshita Yukino, Shiina Mahiru, and Eriri were all in the International Cultured Education Class. This already accounted for three of the Four Great Beauties of Kyoto High School.
After all, the boys in the class were in the prime of puberty, and everyone has a love for beauty. It was no wonder they were excited.
"Is Aragaki excited to hear this news too?"
Kato Megumi asked curiously from the side.
"No, I'd probably be more excited if PE class was canceled instead."
Hearing Kato Megumi's words, Aragaki Takiya spoke half-jokingly.
Actually, it wasn't exactly a joke. After all, he was an otaku in a sense. If not forced by survival, he would love to stay at home every day.
"I see, me too."
Hearing Aragaki Takiya's answer, Kato Megumi looked as if she had gotten the answer she wanted, and a beautiful smile appeared on her fair cheeks.
She also liked staying in the classroom because that way she could spend more time with Aragaki Takiya, and... she was very satisfied with Aragaki Takiya's reaction. After all, he didn't get excited like the other boys upon hearing the news, which also proved one thing from another angle.
At least this boy she liked didn't have other thoughts about girls prettier than her. His reaction was the best proof... In the afternoon, accompanied by the eager conversations of the male classmates, Aragaki Takiya still chose to go to the locker room alone to change into his sportswear.
Uh, actually, besides being alone, he didn't seem to have any other choice.
However, just as he was having such thoughts, he suddenly saw a familiar person not far away.
That slightly hunched figure with hands in pockets... it was definitely him!
Staring at the boy who appeared in his sight, Aragaki Takiya suddenly remembered that Kato Megumi had told him today that there were two other classes.
Which meant... "Sigh~ PE class and stuff is really a hassle."
Hachiman Hikigaya, who was changing into his sportswear, complained dissatisfiedly.
In this regard, he had similar thoughts to Aragaki Takiya. He wasn't very fond of PE classes; perhaps reading or spacing out in the classroom would suit him better.
"Tsk, if I hadn't already asked for leave last time, I definitely would have..."
Hachiman Hikigaya was muttering to himself when he suddenly noticed there were quite a lot of students today.
"What's the situation? I remember there shouldn't be so many people in one class."
Due to having only been in the class for a week and his own personality, Classmate Hikigaya didn't have anyone he could talk to yet. This resulted in him not knowing about the situation with today's PE class, but seeing so many people in the locker room, he knew things weren't simple.
"Hey!"
While Hachiman Hikigaya was still spacing out, he suddenly felt a force on his shoulder.
!!!
The sudden movement made Hachiman Hikigaya's shoulders jerk, but when he turned around, he found the person who patted his shoulder was Aragaki Takiya.
"What the, you're going to scare me to death like that..."
Hachiman Hikigaya said with a sigh of relief.
"But why are you here, Aragaki? Did your class reschedule too?"
Looking at Aragaki Takiya, who was also wearing sportswear, Hachiman Hikigaya asked curiously.
"No, because our class originally had PE this period."
Aragaki Takiya said with a shrug.
"So it's a combined class? But the teacher didn't seem to announce it."
Hachiman Hikigaya said with a frown.
"Don't you know? This has already spread throughout the class."
Aragaki Takiya reminded him from the side.
"But I have absolutely no memory of that."
Hachiman Hikigaya pondered. He basically didn't communicate with other classmates, and... oh right, he seemed to just put on headphones to listen to music whenever he felt it was noisy.
No wonder he didn't hear the news about the combined PE class.
"But it feels pretty good..."
Hachiman Hikigaya muttered in his heart. If Aragaki Takiya was around, it would be for the best, because they could play ping pong, badminton, or tennis or something. That way, he wouldn't have to practice against a wall by himself anymore.
Classmate Hikigaya was thinking this in his heart, but the development of things still exceeded his expectations.
Because after going out, Hachiman Hikigaya discovered that someone was already waiting for Aragaki Takiya.
It was a short-haired girl who looked quite cute, but Hachiman Hikigaya had no memory of her in his mind.
"Hello, Classmate Hikigaya. My name is Kato Megumi, I'm Aragaki's friend."
Looking at the dead-eyed boy with a puzzled expression in front of her, Kato Megumi took the initiative to introduce herself.
"Hmm? You know my name?"
Hachiman Hikigaya was a bit surprised.
"Because I've heard Aragaki mention it often."
"I see..."
Hachiman Hikigaya breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at the girl in front of him, he was actually quite happy in his heart.
After all, as Aragaki Takiya's good friend, he understood him very well. His cold-on-the-outside, warm-on-the-inside personality resulted in Aragaki Takiya having very few friends, but now it seemed that trend had disappeared.
After all, this cute short-haired girl in front of him couldn't be fake.
"Well, this is the person who sits in front of me, and also my good friend, Kato. She's a girl with a very good personality."
Aragaki Takiya took the initiative to introduce her to Hachiman Hikigaya.
