Chapter 77: Short Story 4 : Tsubaki Sakurako – What Could Be Seen From That Back
If I was asked about what I was best at, I would without hesitation say it was my insight and intuition.
On the way back to the dorms from the Keyaki mall.
I was watching Ayanokouji-senpai's back disappear inside a convenience store.
I had been silently trailing him until now, but he hadn't shown any signs of having noticed me.
But, he had definitely noticed me.
His usual mannerism, his behaviour, was like that of a normal high schooler.
He looked just like a normal student you could find anywhere.
I stayed a proper distance from him, and took one lollipop I saw close to me before calling out to him.
But still, there was no need for me to assume that possibility after all I guess.
He didn't pay any attention to me and just put the necessary stuff into his shopping basket.
Before long, I called out to him right before he was about to pay.
«Excuse me~~?»
If I decided to watch him leave, there won't be any chances left for today.
«You were Tsubaki, right? Do you need something from me?»
Even when I directed his attention towards me, he didn't seem surprised at all.

«Thanks for waiting for me.»
I removed the wrapping paper of the lollipop as I started walking. To say the truth, I'm not good at holding conversations.
I wasn't particularly bad at being with people from the opposite gender. I was just bad at talking.
«So what did you want to talk about?»
He asked me the reason I had contacted him.
«There was something he had to tell you if I happen to meet you now Ayanokouji-senpai.»
For now, I had to buy enough time for Utoumiya-kun to arrive.
«Utoumiya-kun did?»
As if he had read what I was thinking, he accurately asked.
«Guess I was right.»
As expected of him... is that the right way to say it?
«He said he would head over here, at once.»
I can't dig into his deep psyche just yet.
There is more than enough time, no need for hurrying. Slowly but surely.
And then—
