The Incoming Ceremony Meeting

One day in April.Today Ao Kaede High School entrance ceremony. Many freshmen gathered in front of the entrance to check the posted class charts.

Nao Mamiya is one of them.

"I'm Group A. What about Time?"

Nao is Masa-kun's next-door neighbor

masaki Kimura's Childhood Requested. Masaki slightly stretched and searched his name on the classroom table.

"Well, I ... Group D."

Masaki replied, with a slightly disappointing look.

"Oh sorry."

"Well, what if there were so many classes."

Ao Kaede High School is one of the largest High Schools in the area, and the number of students is close to 2000. There are 700 new students this year and 18 classes.

It has a "Bunbu Ryodo", and there are many good grades and high levels of university entrance, and there are many strong club activities both in sports clubs and cultural clubs.

"Well, different classes don't affect our relationships."

"That's right. It's next to my house."

Nao and Masaki's house have had family relationships with each other even before they were born, and Nao and Masaki are childhood friends since they were born and are already like family.

"If you're in a different class, you'll be saved if you forget your textbook."

"It's just Masa-kun."

"Well, that's right .. that's okay. I'm counting on you, Nao."

Nao was amazed at Masaki who laughed like a joke. The relationship between Masaki, who is a little sick, and Nao, who is a solid person, is like a "brother of a boy and a girl", and that relationship hasn't changed since I was a kid.

"a"

When the two try to go to class, Masaki notices someone and stops. And he called the man.

Hasumi

The person called "Hasumi," looked around for a bit and then noticed Masaki and headed towards him.

--Oh, this guy...

I feel like there's someone named "Hasumi" in my memory.

"Hasumi, how many groups are there?"

"Me, Group A"

"Seriously? Then, with Nao. Oh, this guy, my childhood friend Nao Mamiya."

Masaki happily introduced Nao. Nao, who desperately followed his memories and was not here, introduced himself hurriedly.

"Ah, nice to meet you. I'm Nao Mamiya

"So this guy Atsushi Hasumi"

I'm Hasumi... It's nice to meet you."

Atsushi bowed lightly without changing his facial expression.

"It's always been a baseball club. I'm a ball thrower."

- Pitcher ... Anyway ...

When I heard Masaki's words, Nao thought, "I'm sure of that," but I was a little confused because the impression of the person in my memory and Atsushi in front of me was very different.

Wasn't he the one whose facial expression didn't change much?

Atsushi in front of me was an expressionless boy who said the word "poker face" was perfect. I also got the impression that it created an invisible wall between the surroundings. The person who will be Junto in Nao's memory is more expressive and has an atmosphere that will accept anyone.

I wonder if it was a mistake.

As Nao vaguely thought about it, a broadcast was broadcast urging new students to come to the gymnasium, which was the venue of the reception ceremony.

"Okay, you want to go?"

Nao and Atsushi nod to Masaki's voice, and the three head to the gymnasium. While heading to the gymnasium, Masaki is the center of the conversation, and even at the entrance ceremony, his seat is away from Atsushi, and Nao has no chance to talk to Atsushi.

In the end, Nao and Atsushi only exchanged greetings, but Nao could not confirm his memory. Nao finished the day of the entrance ceremony with a nauseous feeling. And that moyamoya will continue for a while.
