A few hours ago.
After successfully getting permission from the teacher to leave class, Kagura Hikaru appeared under the academic building with a backpack and a guitar case in tow.
"Hmm...."
Seeing the golden expanse outside the shadow of the eaves, he couldn't help but let out a troubled sound from his throat.
The midday sun was too strong, stinging the eyes.
The thought of having to walk out there made him feel hot.
No, not just walking out there, but even standing downstairs made him sweat uncontrollably.
This summer was proving to be a tough one.
Kagura Hikaru wiped the sweat from his forehead, swept his hair back, and was just about to muster the courage to step out when he suddenly saw an adult wearing a straw hat and carrying a trash basket on his back passing by.
It was Teacher Yamazaki.
The physical education teacher and Kendo Club advisor who had been with him at the competition in the Capital City.
"Hey, isn't that Kagura?"
