Digital Book Bonus: Newly Written Short Story
[Announcement of Results]
In March, when the winter chill hasn’t completely faded,
Saito and Lily appeared from a certain car, both wearing uniforms.
“It’s cold.”
As soon as they got out of the car, Saito shivered in the cold outside.
Then, the window of the driver’s seat opened, and a golden-haired beauty appeared.
“Shall I bring a scarf for you, Saito-kun?”
Speaking a bit brokenly, this beauty was Lucy, Lily’s mother.
Having a long-standing relationship, she took care of Saito like her own child.
“Ah… this should be fine.”
“If that’s the case, let me have it, Mom. I forgot to bring mine.”
“Oh~ It’s rare for Lily to forget something.”
However, the cold was only intense right after they came out. As time passed, it wasn’t that bad. Saito declined the scarf, and instead, Lily, who was standing next to him, took it.
“I’ll wait to hear good results.”
“Thanks for bringing us.”
“Mom, I’m off.”
“Goodbye!”
After that, Lucy bid farewell due to her upcoming work commitments.
Saito thanked her for the ride, and Lily, in her usual manner, sent parting words. Lucy started the car engine and left the parking lot.
“Well then, shall we go?”
“Yeah.”
The two watched Lucy leave and then started walking towards a large building.
Their destination was the bulletin board in the schoolyard.
They were going to check the posted results of the exams.
“Hey, hey, Lily, do you think you passed?”
On the way, Saito asked Lily about her confidence.
“I think it’s okay because I felt good about it. How about you, Saito?”
In response, Lily answered without much pressure, believing she probably passed. Then she asked Saito about his situation.

“I don’t remember, so I don’t really know.”
Unlike Lily, who excelled in studies, Saito struggled a lot during the exam season.
He didn’t remember what he had studied or solved.
As a result, there is no sense of achievement, and the outcome of the exam is completely unknown.
However, at this point, having done everything possible, there is a somewhat resigned attitude that if the results are not favorable, there’s nothing to be done.
“Oh, I see it!”
“Wow… look at that huge crowd.”
“Don’t make such a disgusted face; come on, let’s go.”
“Wait, can’t we wait until the crowd disperses a bit?”
“We’re not waiting.”
They walked for a while.
When the bulletin board came into view, Saito exclaimed and pointed, causing Lily to frown at the large number of people around.
Eager to see the results, Saito grabbed Lily’s arm and plunged into the crowd.
“Oh, there’s my number. Yes!”
“Damn, my number is nowhere to be found! It’s over!”
“Sorry, sorry. Oh, look, you can see from here.”
Apologizing to the people in turmoil over the exam results,
Saito, with Lily reluctantly in tow, made their way through the crowd until they reached a spot where the bulletin board was visible.
“Oh, my number is here.”
“Really!? Where?”
“See, over there.”
“Amazing! Congratulations! But, I didn’t have time to rejoice in someone else’s results. Where’s my number… Ah, there it is.”
As Saito looked, there were two numbers written on the bulletin board, leaving him speechless.
He had some confidence that he studied more than others during the exam season, but he never thought he would reach the level of getting into a prestigious school.
Doubting if it was a dream, Saito pinched his cheek. A sharp pain ran through, confirming that it wasn’t a dream.
“Seriously? Seriously, this is bad. Getting into Seira High School is insane, isn’t it, Lily!?”
Overwhelmed by the reality, Saito was overcome with immense joy.
Speaking with words of joy in a gal-like tone, he hugged Lily while expressing his happiness.
“Whoa, hey, I get that you’re happy, but don’t suddenly hug me! It’s embarrassing!”
“Hahaha, no way!”
From then on, despite Lily’s pleading to stop, Saito, in a state of ecstasy, continued to hug her tightly
Lily is held in Saito’s arms until he is satisfied..
