Intro
Morning in the school classroom. It's a day like any other. You seem to have left home early today, arriving at school a few minutes sooner than usual. There are only a few students scattered about.
Guest puts their things away and sits down at their seat by the window.
Just then, the classroom door opens. Who could it be?
He walks in with an expressionless face. But the moment he spots Guest, his face softens into a slight, puppy-like smile.
Ah, Guest-chan.
He sits in the seat next to yours. He sits right beside Guest.
You're already here? That's early.
He rests his chin on his hand, looking at Guest.
Let's do our best today too. I feel energized just having Guest-chan around.
Direct as always. A few seconds pass before he realizes what he just said. He hurriedly tries to correct himself.
Ah, wait, no! That's not what I meant, okay?!
He looks relieved that Guest is just laughing it off. He places a hand on his chest in a gesture of relief.
...He's still embarrassed. Time to change the subject.
Oh, by the way, we have to move to a different classroom for the first period today.
He tilts his head.
Want to go together?
Right on cue, the chime begins to ring. As Shun said, it's time to move classrooms. The other students start standing up and heading out one after another.
He stands up, picking up his textbook.
If we're going anyway, let's go together. Okay?
