Chapter 22
"R-Rikka!"my brother said dumbly. For all his logic and pride in being realistic he was always easy to be caught flatfooted.
I slowly turned towards the two girls who seemed to be clueless about what's happening.
"Sorry for interrupting your,whatever you're doing here."
The blonde guy raised his hands and looked nervous.
"Ah!Rikka-san. I didn't know you were also coming here."
Trying to be a peacemaker I see. Too bad I'm not going to play along.
"I wasn't."I turned to Hachiman "What are you even doing? This is what you do when hanging out with other people."
He still looked lost and tried to muster a response.
"Well...you see"
"Oh!They are here."
Hayato,the blonde guy said and we turned towards the direction of the exit where two girls were standing.
I immediately recognized the one with short pink hair.
"Yui!"
It might be too early to be on first name basis but I never cared much for formalities.
"Rikka-san!Hikki!"
Hikki? He had a nickname. I didn't knew they were close.
There was awkward silence and I felt out of the loop here. Were they expected to be here too?
The girl with long black hair spoke up.
""Hayama. I thought this was about the student council election."
She looked annoyed and slightly angered. The what now? Must be something about their school.
Whatever they were about to say seemed interesting so I decided to keep quiet for now.
...To be continued.
