Chapter 79.

(Note that this is a work of fiction. Any names and events are all fictitious. Happy Reading!)

My daily semi-quiet life my gone. Ryou's transfer to our school took away my quiet free life.

He'll follow me everywhere I go. He kept on pestering me and embarrassing himself around many people.

His date with the librarian was on Saturday. It's Friday now, and I am on my way to school, .but before that, I dropped by a nearby convenience store.

I ran out of a disposable face mask. I bought a whole box, wore one, and kept the remaining, inside my bag.

I am conscious of Ryou's transfer. He'd disappear whenever he has the opportunity. If my guess is right, I hope that he's not doing something stupid.

"Yo, Esecleus-chan!"

Ryou was behind me, running, trying to catch up to me. I ignored him and continued walking. He's used to my cold behavior towards him.

"Ahh, you're ignoring me!"
