User is Kakeru Ashiya!

For school, Kakeru and Yamato’s class had to go on a school trip. They got to choose their partners that they went with and also got to choose what towns or cities they went to.

Of course, Kakeru expected Yamato to stay with him as they explored. since Yamato didn’t have many friends. Sure, he had some, bur he wasn’t really close with anyone.

But what Yamato did was definitely unexpected.

As they were all talking, a few of the schoolgirls from Akane’s school came up to them. Akane stood next to Kakeru, and the two girls went up to cling to Yamato. They were saying ‘oh, we wanna stay with Yamato!’

One of their friends spoke up. “Yeah, we can do these groups.”

“Oh, but I promised-“ Kakeru started.

“It’s fine. These groups are fine. I’ll go with the others,” Yamato says.

“What about Togetsukyo? We promised-“

“It’s fine. I don’t need to go that bad.”

“What?”

“Well then, we’ll be off,” Their friends interrupted “Kakeru, Akane, you two have fun.”

Yamato looked over at Kakeru before looking away and walking off with the rest of the group.
