CH 82

Because I had received chocolate from Aoi, I was able to concentrate even more in the afternoon classes and was able to study well.

After school, I was waiting for Aoi, but she didn’t show up.

That must be it, isn’t it?

Since Aoi hadn’t come yet, I waited for her in my seat. Usually, the classroom should be almost empty at this time of day. But, there were still quite a number of students remaining today.

In particular, the number of boys is quite high among the remaining students.

I was observing the remaining classmates since I had nothing to do. The boys were obviously acting awkward.

They were pacing back and forth in the classroom for no reason.

As I continued to observe, I started to see a certain pattern. The boys were not just going back and forth in the classroom; they seemed to nonchalantly wander about in front of the girls.

This must be it too, right? I guess it is a unique characteristic of Valentine’s Day.

“Rin-kun, I am really sorry to keep you waiting again.”

“Ah~ it must be hard for you today.”

“Yes, there are many guys who won’t just give up……”

In any case, Aoi’s always had a hard time when it comes to events. I never expected that the highschool boys in the world would be this aggressive.

The boys in the class were still as restless as usual.

“Well, shall we go home then?”

“Yes.”

It could be seen that Honda was still in the classroom, but I left the classroom without minding him and went through the school gate just like that. Fortunately, there was no one waiting there today.

I heaved a sigh of relief subconsciously. On the way home, I felt a reaction from the survivor terminal.

“Beep Beep.”

After I ranked up, I relaxed the restrictions on my terminal’s notification setting. Probably because of that, I started to get requests occasionally around the time after school.

“Aoi, should we head straight there? Or should we return first to pick up our racing bicycles?”

""

“It will become late if we return home to pick up our bicycles, so let’s go straight there.”

“Then, let’s hurry up.”

The two of us slightly picked up our pace and headed to the scene.

“Lately, it feels like we are getting more requests when we are on the way home from school.”

“We have reduced some requirements for the requests. And considering that today is Valentine’s Day, there aren’t many people who take requests, perhaps.”

“Ahh……”

Come to think of it, similar things happened during Christmas and New Year too.

Do all survivors have common characteristics of loving events? At least for today, there is no doubt that the activity rate of the students from my school will drop.

Until now, I’ve never cared about it because this kind of matter had nothing to do with me.

“We are about to arrive, Rin-kun.”

“Aoi, where are the monsters?”

“I can’t see them yet.”

When we carefully advanced for a while, we were able to see the monsters. But, one of them was a monster I had never seen before and had a strange appearance.
