| Tsumugi | We got the entry pass, so......shall we wander around inside? |
| Itaru | It's a weekend, so nobody's here; it's quiet. |
| Banri | The old man said he'd meet us once he'd finished with the club he supervises. Let's kill time until then. |
| Misumi | Where to go~? |
| Itaru | It's Banri's school visit, so of course ――. |
| Tsumugi | Banri-kun's classroom, I suppose. |
| |
| Itaru | Aha, how nostalgic. |
| Banri | Hmm. Is it that sort of thing. |
| Tsumugi | Rather than nostalgic, it might feel like it's been a while, for Banri-kun. |
| Banri | Ahh, that might be it. |
| Misumi | I'll sit too~. |
| Tsumugi | I might sit next to Misumi-kun. |
| Banri | Somehow when we do this, it's like we're classmates. |
| Tsumugi | Ahaha. That's true. |
| Misumi | We're all Class 3-A! |
| Tsumugi | Speaking of which, I've heard a bit, but did you say you were a sickly character, Itaru-kun? |
| Itaru | When I first started school, yes. It was the high school debut. After that a bunch of things happened and I stopped pretending, though. |
| Tsumugi | Is that so. |
| Itaru | Thinking about it, Banri and I were the yankee and the weedy kid, huh......If I were in the same class as Banri we definitely wouldn't have been able to get along. |
| I mean, you were a yankee brand of 'ayy'[1], right, Banri. |
| Banri | I was a bit wild, but I wasn't like, 'ayy'. |
| Tsumugi | What's 'ayy'......? |
| Itaru | People like Banri. Incidentally, people like Kazunari are party people. |
| Tsumugi | I see. There are categories, huh. |
| Banri | I'm telling you, I'm not like that. |
| Itaru | He can look at himself from an objective viewpoint......I can see he's grown in character. Please praise him at home. |
| Misumi | Very well done~! I'll give you a Super Sankaku-kun! |
| Banri | Don't suddenly write a school report just because you're playing a teacher. Besides, a triangle instead of a flower circle?[2] |
| Tsumugi | Ahaha. |
| Banri | But well, even within the company I hadn't thought I'd develop a comfortable relationship with the person I judged on first impression as some unpleasant elite salaryman, of all people. |
| I mean, even though we're not the same age I still thought there was no way we'd get along at first. |
| Itaru | Big mood. |
| Banri | If there hadn't been the "BroWar" rank battle, huh. |
| Itaru | Right. |
| Tsumugi | "BroWar"? |
| Misumi | Rank battle~? |
| Itaru | It's a smartphone game. |
| Banri | I fought with Itaru-san for ranking results and that was the start. |
| Misumi | Huh~, I see~. |
| Tsumugi | The two of you were already friendly when I entered, but that sort of thing took place, huh. |
| Itaru | Thinking about it like that, games are great, aren't they. |
| When I was in high school, KniRoun helped me hit it off with a ria-juu I'd thought I definitely wouldn't get along with. |
| Tsumugi | Even though we're childhood friends, if it weren't for acting, I might not have come this far together with Tasuku either. |
| Banri | If it weren't for acting, we wouldn't have entered the company like this either. |
| Itaru | Games and acting are equally great. |
| Tsumugi | Hehe, that's right. |
| Misumi | Hey~, what sort of student were you, Banri? |
| Banri | I'm more interested in you, Misumi, but......in the classroom, I was basically ostracised by my classmates. |
| So it was kind of hard to be there and I'd often go up to the rooftop by myself. |
| Misumi | I'd often play with the cats in the back garden too~. |
| Tsumugi | I think I'd usually see how the flowerbeds were going. |
| Banri | Haha, none of us are very attached to the classroom, huh. |
| Itaru | It's not much different to now. |
| Tsumugi | Ahaha. How to put it......It's quite like us. |
| Banri | ......Maybe I'll go to the rooftop. It's been a while. |
| |
| Itaru | Tsumugi and Misumi said they wanted to see the flowerbeds and the animal shed, so they're splitting off, huh. |
| Banri | Apparently they heard from Sakuya earlier and got interested. |
| After entering the company, I'd sometimes eat lunch here with Sakuya and Masumi. |
| Itaru | From the perspective of someone who doesn't know the circumstances, that's a strange grouping. |
| Banri | But well, I'd basically come here to skip class or stare into space after school. |
| Itaru | That's like a school yankee manga too. |
| Banri | You've been going on like that for a while now. |
| Itaru | Completely unlike you, I never really came to the rooftop. I hadn't cared much about the scenery and things like that, but... |
| Looking at it like this, it's a beautiful sunset, isn't it. |
| Banri | It is. Back then I'd casually stare at the schoolyard like this. |
| It's strangely calming......The rooftop might have been the place I came to most. |
| It's quiet, and nobody disturbs you, right? |
| Itaru | Mm. |
| Banri | Isn't there a place you liked at school? |
| Itaru | Hm...... |
| ......The library, maybe. |
| Banri | Huh, why's that? |
| Itaru | It was easy to be in even when you're alone. The same reason as you. |
| Banri | No, I wasn't alone. |
| Itaru | You said you were isolated in the classroom, didn't you. |
| Banri | I didn't say I was alone. |
| Itaru | Then we'll leave it as that. |
| Banri | What's with that......So, what sort of books did you read? |
| Itaru | I read a bunch of things. I read light novel types, and then some reasonably serious literature...... |
| |
| ??? | "Hey, what are you reading?" |
| "If you'd like, I have recommendations, but......" |
| |
| Itaru | ...... |
| Banri | ......Itaru-san? |
| ??? | Settsu! |
