I watched the sun rays through my sunglasses and became one with nature.
I've gone cruising with my parents when I was younger, but never since.
"Spending a holiday like this just relaxing ain't bad from time to time."
If I had to raise a complaint, it would be how many students there were at this pool.
That being said, it was just a minor problem.
Let's just relax for the whole day, shall we?
After I had received the drink I'd ordered, I noticed a change in my surroundings.
The 3rd year students, my classmates in other words, suddenly changed their facial expressions.
They looked in the same direction in unison while conversing with their glances.
That piqued my interest and I followed their cue...and Ayanokouji was standing there.
It seems like he'd just arrived at the pool as he surveyed his surroundings.
But it didn't seem like he had noticed the stares from the 3rd year students, his facial expression unchanged.
Nah, there's no way he wouldn't have noticed stares this obvious.
It's better to say he's pretending to not notice.
The 1st years and the 2nd years didn't seem to have taken any actions whatsoever.
"I see... so that's what's going on."
I had planned to be in my OFF-mode today, but my switch had oddly enough turned ON.
"Looks like you're in for some trouble, Ayanokouji."
I couldn't suppress my curiosity anymore and called out to him from behind.
He noticed me, but he looked the same as always.
"What are you talking about?"
It looked like he was playing the fool, but there's no way he was.
"I'm talking about the 3rd year students. There's no way you haven't noticed them, am I right?"
"I'm not quite sure what you are talking about though."
"While I'm not taking part in it, I'm still a 3rd year student. I've at least heard a bit about it."
"Are you perhaps talking about the stares in my direction?"
"So you did notice after all."
"I don't find it particularly troublesome though. I'm just being watched, that's it." He said as if it wasn't worth paying any attention to, but that's taking it too lightly.
Since the Student Council President is involved, that means trouble is brewing.
It seems Nagumo has started taking Ayanokouji seriously somehow.
Good grief, Ayanokouji is seriously an interesting man.
Indeed, If we were the same age, I could have observed him for yet another year.
Those feelings had unexpectedly begun to form within me.
That's just how interesting this man is.
