“The scenery isn’t exactly great and it’s not an amazing rooftop. When I tilted my head up to look, Mibuchi Reo was looking around the area with a frown. So I came here to see what kind of place it is.” “I heard from Sei-chan that you’re always reading here. Without looking up, I called out the name of the other person who appeared on the roof. Somehow there’s a flood of visitors today. Upon hearing the voice, I sighed inwardly. Though it was on a whim, it’s rare for him to be interested in me. On the rooftop that returned to silence, I was turning the page relieved, when I suddenly realized something. Like always, he fell easily to provocations. Perhaps taking offence at my blunt reply, Hayama suddenly turned around and grumbled “That’s ‘cause I don’t read books” as he went back into the school building.
“Waah you cut me so completely, this guy.” “Even if I tell you, you don’t look like you’d be interested.” “Mayuzumi-san is reading? What’re you reading?” “Tch.” Hayama pouted, linked his arms behind his head, and glanced down at my book. Got a message from Akashi– I thought he’d be here but guess I got it wrong–” Hayama looked around him restlessly and asked, “Know where Ei-chan is?"Įven though he said he doesn’t need me for anything, yet he’s asking. Having said that, I’m not big enough of a person to just laugh off that kind of treatment. It’s more likely that he sees me as a new toy that was tossed onto his field.īeing instructed by Akashi on Misdirection and joining the regulars as the only third year, I must be a curious toy to them. It’s commendable that he’s calling me “Mayuzumi-san”, but that voice doesn’t have the respect for a “senpai”. Speaking of which, his tone with me was also light. “Not really, don’t need you for anything.” With lithe muscles like a spring, this guy even walked as if he’s hopping. That’s what I had thought.įollowing the lightly echoing voice, I only glanced up from where I was sitting to see the rooftop door open and Hayama Kotarou walking over. Just because I do that doesn’t mean I want to find unknown objects, or meet a mysterious transfer student.įor me, it’s good if I could just enjoy a story that I like on a quiet rooftop. I think it’s because this has happened so many times that my legs naturally take me to the roof. The characters of the story would find unknown objects, meet the mysterious transfer student, and reveal secrets, all on the roof. In the LN that I like to read, the rooftop appears as a very important spot. The thing that influenced me is this book that I’m also holding now, a light novel. If it’s just for reading, the courtyard, cafeteria, or even the library would be fine, but the reason my legs take me to the rooftop is because of outside influence after all. Previously, I’ve been asked by my classmate, “Mayuzumi, why are you so particular about the rooftop?” The results of the comparative investigation of each building’s rooftop indicated that the north school building’s roof has the least amount of wind and is the quietest, and so it’s the most suitable for reading. It’s been a little over two years since I’ve entered Rakuzan High School. The other buildings obviously have rooftops too, but I wouldn’t think of going anywhere but here. That’s my reserved seat during lunch break. But it’s not like I’m going to start doing my best from now on because of this or anything still, if you like, best regards from now on too.The rooftop of Rakuzan High School’s North Building. Mayuzumi: To think I would have fans I was surprised that there are whimsical people like that, but I do want to say thank you to these whimsical people. Well, it’s not like I’m going to quit completely, I can play, someday. Besides, I never participated in the club for a goal in the first place. Mayuzumi: If I didn’t like it, I wouldn’t do something so niche. Q8: I heard that your skill is in overclocking, do you like tampering with computers? Mayuzumi: My sarcasm might have gotten better. Q7: Have you been influenced by light novels?
Unlike normal novels, I like that kind of style. Mayuzumi: I don’t follow specific works or authors. Q6: Please tell us your favourite light novel title and author. Q5: Looking back on the Winter Cup, how do you feel now?
Mayuzumi: Maybe the person who completely outwitted me in the match, the one standing right in front of me? Q4: Who does Mayuzumi-san want to lose to the least? Q3: Then is there something you would like to improve? Q2: What do you think your strong point is? Well, that’s how this kind of thing goes. Q1: Mayuzumi-san, congratulations on 3rd place. Mayuzumi Chihiro (3rd in the PF section): An interview, huh…not bad. Mayuzumi, you are the literal meaning of mendokusai. OK! He is 3rd place in PF!!!!!! GJ!!!!!!!!! these are all featuring chihiro.”
