◆━⊰✧⊱━◆

Yuu usually climbed back first floor stairs. Way, enjoyed first-year youthful energy, reduced greetings.
Too many second-years knew him. Walk start end might hear dozens mornings. First-years usually dared not loud greet. Polite nod, or pretend not see. Shy level suited him.
Undisturbed, Yuu passed first-years. Maybe early, most students slept desks, corridor classroom dead quiet. Footsteps clear.
But health room front stairs opposite. Many in-out, noisy, bustling, mostly girls.
"What? Health room not open now."
Yuu slowed. After observing, understood.
Rain-soaked feet girls ca borrow hairdryer.
Through health room window, Yuu saw girls inside gloomy holding socks. So dried moisture towels handkerchiefs, others queued waiting front finish hairdryer.
Only clean cute little feet swaying air. For specific preference, no exaggeration called paradise.
Also, faint odd sll drifted. Mixed cold humid rain day air, created hard-explain chemical reaction.
Accidentally slled, Yuu instant shut olfactory. Held breath, rushed upstairs.
Lucky not sumr. Lucky only girls. Else, nose needed temporary rest.
n’s dorm livers knew n’s soaked feet sll—especially sports club, post-basketball—not exaggerated called bio-weapon.
Girls’ feet maybe not bad, but earth, surely no creature liked such masculine aroma!
Escaping upstairs, Yuu heard familiar lodious voice front health room door.
"Senpai, saw just now, right? Surely? Waved, but ignored. So an!"
"Iroha, not didn’t see, just..."
Yuu turned, about say.
Saw Iroha walk toward, holding cute colorful short socks, cheeks puffed.
Scene like Alchemist low HP approaching with Q activated.
"..."
Yuu expressionless turned, quick vanished stairs.
"Senpai so fast?!"
