Chapter 8
From that day on, Ryosaku was preoccupied with that child.
Even reading in the library, he finds it hard to keep his mind on books.
Besides him and Oyama, of course, other students are coming here.
Freshly enrolled new first-year students also began to come here and there to read picture books.
However, that lovely girl didn't come to the library for a long time.
A lively girl, she was mostly hanging out with her new friends in the schoolyard.
The library was located directly above the new first-year classroom...in other words, it was at the eastern end of the second floor.
When he looked out from the window here, he could see a wide schoolyard.
At the eastern end of the schoolyard, horizontal bars stood side by side, and lower graders often played around them.
Children in middle and upper grades do not come to this area very often.
Ryosaku closed the sci-fi book he was reading, got up and walked around the large library for a while, and when he suddenly looked out the window, he saw the figure of the child near the lowest horizontal bar.
It was slightly different from her hairstyle at the entrance ceremony...he could tell right away.
He watched the child's movements with fascination for a while, but when a girl passed behind him, he suddenly came to his senses and hurried back to his closed science fiction book.
Perhaps it was because he didn't want the target he was fascinated by to be known, and because he wanted to hide his embarrassment.
Ryosaku was no longer able to immerse himself in the contents of science fiction.
"I want to be friends with that girl...!"
He was obsessed with it.
