Sakura took me to the place I wanted to visit. I must admit I was not expecting the location. We went to a part of the building used specifically for club activities, located away from the school. She  led me through a building that had a pronounced Japanese style, one that housed things like the archery club and the tea ceremony club. From a short distance, we could hear the sound of arrows being fired.

"Where were you in the club that day?" Haruka asked Miyake curiously.

He shook his head, "I was in my room resting after class."

"Heh. Who was that, I wonder?" She
smiled.

"You are curious, aren't you?" Miyake laughed. "Just look."

"Just asking!"

"You're not doing any club activities, are you?"

"I'm not, but I've wanted to come here at least once. I'd stand out if I came alone, so…"

"You really hate standing out,

eh". Matsushita dijo.

"Not just me, I can tell."

"Not all people like to stand out, Matsushita-san." Kanzaki said.

Ryuuen smiled, "Yeah, look at Vice President-kun for example."

"Huh?! Are you saying something-!" Nagumo was interrupted as Manabu glared at him, forcing him to bite his tongue and scowl at the boy.

If you were to walk around here alone, people would think you were interested in joining their club. However, if a couple got together, then people would just assume they were on a date.

"Why did you ask me out, anyway?" she asked.

"Hmm? Why? It's a bit hard to answer when you ask me like that." I was worried about how everything would go tomorrow. But even if I said something, I would still feel uncomfortable. "I asked you because I thought it would be nice for a change of scenery, I guess. I mean, I'm a bit of a loner, so I usually stay in my room. I tend to stay behind all the time." time."

Sakura seemed somewhat unconvinced by my roundabout answer.

"Ayanokouji-kun, don't you have many friends?"

"Yes? Like who?"

"Horikita-san, Kushida-san, Ike-kun, Sudou-kun, Yamauchi-kun..."

He listed their names as he counted them off on his fingers.

Well, they're just for show. No, you're right, a friend is a friend. I guess what I mean is that I feel like that's all we are as a group and looking in. Do you think we get along, Sakura? ?

"I understand you". Miyake, Haruka, Yukimura, Nishikawa and the other students said who is a loner.

"Just for show?" Ike, Yamauchi, and Sudo stared.

"I don't count you as a friend, and  don't
misunderstand." Horikita looked at him

"I know. That's why I said that." Ayanokoji raised her arms in mock defense.

Sakura nodded without hesitation. If she said so, maybe it was true. I guess I didn't understand myself.

"How can someone not understand himself?" Yume asked in confusion.

"A baby who is still developing his persona." Sakayanagi said."

But Ayanokoji-kun is ateenager?" Sato asked.
