Departure

“Ruru, good morning.” With a smile brighter than the morning sun, Shio’s greeting sounded so soothing to my ear.

I had just entered the Administration Building and to my luck, I ran into her on my way to Eguchi-sensei’s office. I was also supposed to come and check on her before leaving but with my time reduced to less than a few minutes, I couldn’t make the trip here to see her before getting caught by the start of the homeroom.

In any case, I’m still lucky to run into her before she arrived at our classroom. Although she’s wearing the same suit today, I still couldn’t help but take a moment to admire her charming appearance.

And perhaps noticing that, Shio lowered her arms, giving me the full view of her wonderful figure.

Only for a few seconds though. She’s already rushing to our classroom, after all. Yet, here I am, blocking her way.
