It seems that Hisamori had come to the classroom to show us the finished school newspaper.
I was thinking how lucky he was to know that we were here when Hisamori-san told me about it.
"I heard a rumor that Hoshimiya-senpai and Ozora-senpai always go on dates in the classroom after school, so I came over, and it turns out it's true!"
...A classroom date.
It's an exaggeration, or perhaps a terrible misrepresentation of the truth... I really want to argue against it.
"Date...♪"
Since Hime didn't seem completely opposed, I decided not to say anything.
If I were to argue now, it might seem like I don't want to go on a date. Also, the fact remains that I like spending time alone with Hime, so I don't mind going on a date. Hime is happy too.
(Maybe everyone is being considerate...?)
No wonder my classmates would come home early.
Recently, I felt like things were going oddly well for Hime and me. None of our classmates were staying in the classroom anyway. It always ended up being just the two of us, so I felt a bit uneasy about it being a coincidence.
I see. Everyone thought we were going on a classroom date after school, so they were being considerate.
Although it wasn't strictly a date... I guess I can just call it that. I'm grateful for my classmate's kindness.
As I was thinking about this and looking at Hisamori's newspaper, she said this with a serious look on her face.
"Well, this is just a sample, so if you don't like it, I won't post it. I brought it here so you can check the contents, so I'll ask you to check it later."
After all, this kid is a really good kid.
Maybe it's the influence of manga and anime. I didn't have a very good impression of the newspaper club, but this girl has absolutely no negative image of me.
He is polite, reasonable, cheerful, and always considerate of others.
So Hime seems to trust her too.
"There's no problem with publishing it. I think it'll be fine, Hisamori-san."
In fact, it seems Hime has known Hisamori-san since before she met me.
Apparently, Hime herself was interviewed in person to write an article about her. During that interview, she must have been familiar with Hisamori's personality. She seems to trust him as much as I do.
"Is that okay? Thank you! Phew... I think this article will help us avoid the club being disbanded."
"Disbanding the club? Why would they suddenly disband the club again?"
I was surprised to hear some rather scary words.
Is the newspaper club's activities really that precarious?
"I was the only one in the club, so I doubted it would even be recognized as a club in the first place... but with energy and enthusiasm, I pushed my way through to the student council and they approved our club activities, and we even received a club fee as an activity fee! As a result, they came under scrutiny to make sure we were operating properly, and I got scolded."
It feels a bit like he brought it on himself...but, well, it was approved even though it was a bit of a forced move, so it's not Hisamori's fault.
"This is bad. I wanted to travel... No, I wanted to cover the basketball club's national tournament, so I asked for travel expenses, but the student council president got mad at me. He said I was being selfish and was going to disband the club... So, I thought I'd just be quiet for a while and try to make some progress!"
Hmm. Sorry, I guess it was my own fault after all.
Hisamori-san is a good person because she is proactive, cheerful, and polite, but...she might also have a rather thick-skinned personality.
