I got out of the cab and headed for my classroom to prepare for Haruhi’s plan for infiltrating North High.

Incidentally, the taxi fare was picked up by Koizumi. It seemed that he served as Haruhi’s wallet in this world. That’s pretty rough when you consider how it isn’t necessary punishment. Is this guy seriously romantically interested in Haruhi? I’d love to ask what he sees in her, but I do recall Taniguchi’s mentioning that she was popular in middle school, despite her bizarre behavior. Well, it’s entirely possible that Haruhi would have shot down a whole parade of potential suitors at North High if she hadn’t started the SOS Brigade. In that case, the SOS Brigade served as an effective layer of defense. Her role as the leader of our bizarre club would convince most guys with common sense to avoid her the way a batter would avoid a wild throw. I’d much rather take a walk than strike out or get hit by a pitch.

By the time I finished with that line of thought, I had reached the top floor.

There weren’t many people in the building, but at the same time it wasn’t entirely empty. I could see a few people here and there who had nothing to do at home or no club activities to deal with. Fortunately, there wasn’t anyone in class 1-5, which reminded me that I’d be in trouble if homeroom teacher Okabe found me. If he found out that I had come crawling back after leaving early without permission, he’d surely have some questions for me.

Someone, I don’t know who, had helped tidy up my desk. It might have been Asakura. The pencils and notebooks I’d left out had been neatly placed inside the desk, while my bag was hanging from the side. The items I sought were on the other side.

“She comes up with some crazy ideas.”

An expression of admiration for Haruhi as I grabbed my gym clothes. This large bag held the short-sleeved shirt, shorts, and tracksuit I’d used during first period. The plan that Haruhi had told us in the taxi on the way here was to “disguise them as North High students,” a very logical course of action. “Koizumi can wear your gym uniform, while I wear the tracksuit. Then we can just jog straight in. They’ll think that we’re members of a sports team that just returned from a run. Yep, perfect.”

So basically we’re using camouflage, the way insects do. This was obviously a better idea than attacking a boy-girl couple on their way home from school to steal their uniforms.

“That would also have worked.”

Haruhi commented casually from the corner outside school where she was waiting. She took the bag of gym clothes from me.

“In fact, that would make it harder for them to pick us out. You should have told us about your excellent idea earlier.”

That’d be like committing highway robbery.

Haruhi loosened the cord on the bag and dumped the contents without a smidgen of self-restraint. Four articles of clothing plopped onto the asphalt.
