"I want to talk about work."
"Huh? Whose?"
"Whose? Ours."
"...?"
I did not understand what she meant at all. What work was there for two high school students to
talk about? I placed my bag at my feet.
And then,
"Sorry but I don't understand what you're saying here."
I answered honestly.
Nitadori then showed a serious look immediately.
"I see...I thought you would have realized it already."
"...Realized what?"
"About me."

"I seem to be mistaken about something. Sorry.
I stare at Nitadori, who looked to be a little disappointed.
I started to wonder if she was an ill-natured girl after all.
Perhaps she wanted to tease this 'older' classmate she coincidentally met, and would leave the
seat wit a cackle.
I had that image flashing through my mind at that instant, and I even had the image of her saying
some harsh, sharp words at the end.
Even if that were the case,
"Hey, hold it there! What do you mean by that? Explain to me!"
I probably would not be raging and chasing after her with such amazing manliness.
I probably would feel a little hurt, and would probably end up being used' by her
"But I'm not trying to tease you here, you know?"
Nitadori said, completely denying my thoughts. I wonder if she's an esper.
