Those two had apparently found a lot in common during the summer break camping trip so they were getting along really well recently Saya even called Lucia Lu
Maybe so But Saya turned toward Ange I kind of want to try out red hair
Like Ange
Yawn Wh-what are you doing Saya
Saya grabbed some of Ange’s long hair and rubbed her cheek against it
Eh heh heh heh Your hair is so great Ange It’s so silky and smooth
How do you take care of it
Nothing special I just wash it and dry it like normal
And you get this Ohh it’s like a miracle I’m so jealous
W-wait I get it so don’t sniff it
Those 2 also got along now Ange was unsociable to the core but she no longer treated Saya like a nuisance and Saya now approached Ange like they were friends
Eh heh heh heh heh heh Sniff sniff Eh heh heh heh heh It smells so good
Saya
Uweh heh heh heh heh heh
Although Saya sometimes did things that seemed to go beyond mere friends
I agonized over it for half a month but I’ve made up my mind Ange I’ll stay true to you
No more wavering Maki-nyan might be incrediblybut I’ll stay on a path I can believe in
Saya seemed to have made some kind of decision
She muttered something in the middle that the others could not quite make out
Ange could only tilt her head at this friend who had been acting a little oddly since the camping trip
But it really is so silky I’m jealous I practically have to fight mine every morning
More than just smell it she also ran her fingers through the silky red hair and then felt her own hair for comparison
She had not fought sufficiently this morning so it was sticking out in places
This isn’t very good And on the 1st day of the new term too
It apparently bothered her so she started combing it with her hand
However that was not going to help much
Ugh I should have brought a brush Hey does anyone have one
She was not the type to wear makeup or mess with her eyebrows so she did not even have a brush with her So she asked
Unfortunately Mutsuki Ange and Lucia all shook their heads so she looked across the classroom in search of someone else to borrow a brush from And
It was precisely 8 30 Machina arrived just as the bell was about to ring
They had gotten in the habit during the 1st term so she greeted Mutsuki when he called out to her Lucia showed no sign of greeting her but it did look like Ange exchanged a brief glance with her
Her seat was in front of Ange so Saya started to get up But Machina shook her head said not to worry about it and only set her bag down on the desk
Saya settled back down and
Hey hey Machi-nyan do you have a hairbrush or a comb
My hair’s kind of messy and I can’t go to the opening ceremony like this
Wait
Machina searched through her bag
From his angle Mutsuki could see her grab a pen
She briefly stuck it back in the bag and then pulled out a plastic comb
Here one is
Yay
Thank goodness Let me borrow it let me borrow it
Saya reached out her hand but
Machina ignored that and circled behind her
Stay still
Huhhh
Machina began combing the brown hair that was sticking out all over the place
Ohoh ohh
Saya had not expected this so she froze up
Machina continued thoroughly combing down the brown hair
The gentle massage sapped all strength from Saya’s shoulders
I’m so unfaithful
For some reason her face grew as slack as her shoulders
This was the 1st day of the new term
Their school life was starting back up and Mutsuki’s cheeks relaxed at finding it even better than he had hoped
Ange Machina and Lucia were gathered together and it all felt natural
Anyone who saw them would only see a group of friends spending their morning together
No one would ever imagine that 3 of the 5 were representatives of 3 different deadly and ruthless groups That made him happy
Even if a change was approaching fast
Mutsuki
Lucia noticed the sudden cloud that fell over Mutsuki’s expression as he watched the 3 frolicking girls
He immediately smiled to hide his thoughts but it was too late and the girls looked his way too
Ange and Saya tilted their heads to ask him what this was about Machina also gave him a puzzled look even if her expression did not change
Of the 3 the boy’s eyes naturally stopped on Machina
His biggest worry about the coming term had to do with FeTUS
He had been worrying about this – about her – for the entire half a month since the camping trip
He had wanted to ask about it but Machina had dodged the question when he had asked right after the camping trip and he doubted she would answer now either
Hey everyone The opening ceremony’s starting soon so we need to get to the auditorium
A portion of the answer came from somewhere else
Class Rep Sakae returned and instructed everyone to move to the auditorium The class started getting up and leaving the classroom
Sakae walked over to Mutsuki’s group
C’mon Mutsuki and Satowa You too Jiyuuni and IbekusaKurikara That expressions is creeping me out
He urged them to start moving
The 6 of them naturally split into a boy group and a girl group
Sakae and Mutsuki were childhood friends and Lucia stuck with them
