Then, Yoshikawa Anko also turned around.

Looking at each other, Akane Kirino tilted her head, smiled at her, and then turned around and returned to Class B.

"..."

When Soya came back, he saw Yoshikawa leaning against the back table in a daze, looking at something in the air.

"Is it okay..."

He returned to his seat and sat down. After a few bites, she suddenly came over.

"Thanks!"

"...No, I didn't do anything."

She didn't care, left a cup of pudding as a thank you gift, and then turned back.

Fushimi Keisuke looked at Soya, then looked back at Yoshikawa Anko's back, and finally settled on the cup of pudding.

"Sogu...what's going on?"

"It's complicated to say. I'll explain it when I have time. What did you say you had in the afternoon?"

"The welcome parties of major clubs...wait a minute, I still care about it!"

"Really? I heard that Danhai University not only has a high admission rate, but also has a lot of community activities."

"You already knew this when you were choosing a school, right? Don't change the subject!"

Soya picked up a piece of fried chicken cooked by Fushimi's mother and nodded again.

"What societies are there?"

...

After lunch, Soya went to the vending machine at the end of the corridor to buy juice as a thank you for the desk clerk's enthusiastic explanation of the school's traditions.

"Ah, Sugawara-senpai."

This place is relatively remote. Sugawara Kyoko was talking to a first-year girl here when she heard the sound and looked back.

"Sotani-san."

After nodding in greeting, she turned around.

There were many kinds of drinks in the vending machine. Soya spent a while choosing, and bought a can of juice for Fushimi. He chose green tea.

"Sotani-san."

He turned around and found that the first-grade girl had disappeared.

"What's the matter, Sugawara-senpai?"

Kyoko Sugawara only came up with the idea on the spur of the moment after meeting him. She looked at the green tea in his hand hesitantly, thinking about how to speak.

Soya turned around and bought another bottle.

"please."

"..."

She didn't answer, "Sotani-kun, do you plan to join the club?"

"I haven't looked into it carefully, so I haven't decided yet. Is the senior's club recruiting new members?"

"No, although I have my name in the club, it can be said that I have not joined the club."

"Because you want to go back to the shrine to help?"

Kyoko Sugawara did not deny it, “It’s especially hard to get away during this period.”

Zonggu held three bottles of drinks and listened to her continue.

"So, after school today, can Soya-san go back to the shrine with me directly?"

"I'm afraid not." Seeing that she really said this, Zonggu quickly refused, "There is a welcome party in the afternoon, I want to go and see it."

"Besides, what senior sister wants is not just today, right?"

"...That's right."

"Unfortunately, I don't have the same work enthusiasm as my senior sister."

After that, he handed over the green tea in his hand.

Sugawara Kyoko looked at him and accepted it.

Zong Gu turned around and left, "I will go there later."

"but……"

"——Just give it back to me."

"..."

Back in Class A of the first year, Soya put the extra bottle of green tea he bought on Asagiri Suzu's table.

Seeing that Yoshikawa was also looking at her, he simply gave her his bottle again.

"Eh...thank you."

After handing the juice to Fushimi, Soya returned to his seat and stared out the window in a daze.

Maybe Kyoko Sugawara made the right choice.

Starting to sort out the information as early as possible would also allow him to find the traces left by the Eight Thunder Gods in the world as early as possible - if they indeed existed.

But……
