What even is a rainbow-colored youth? It was a question that I constantly pondered. I’d told Serika that we should have a clearly defined goal, but here I was, unsure of what I was striving for. What a joke.

The school festival concert and the conversation I’d had with Hikari right after—surely both were part of the rainbow-colored youth I sought. But now, for some reason, I felt like I was straying from my goal, even though I’d successfully begun dating Hikari, the girl I loved.

Was it because I had tangible problems that weren’t a part of my idealized youth? Could that have been why? The tension in my friend group, the question of the band—there was no easy solution for either. And maybe they weren’t even problems at all. These sorts of worries were a dime a dozen in life.

I was searching for something abstract, searching for something I pictured in the depths of my heart. I wanted to become friends with the people I admired. I wanted to date the girl I’d fallen in love with. I longed for something I could obsess over. And I wished to live every day to the fullest.

If that was all I desired, then I’d already achieved my goals. It was inevitable that a few problems would arise in the process. So what the heck was I missing? To begin with, what had made me want a rainbow-colored youth in the first place? Before my empty, gray-colored youth, before all my regrets... What had driven me to go through a high school glow-up the first time?

What I’d been wanting was...

“Hey! Come on, Natsuki! Lets race to the top of that mountain!”

Suddenly, I recalled a childhood memory. Miori, whose hair was short and boyish, dashed past me, her back steadily receding into the distance. “Wait,” I said, desperately trying to keep up...

“Hey, Haibara, wake up! Answer this problem.”

The teacher’s voice, plus a painful sensation on my cheek, returned me to reality at last. I opened my eyes and raised my head. Murakami-sensei, our math teacher, glared at me from the podium. To add to that, the entire class was watching me. I looked to my side; evidently, Hikari had been poking my cheek with her finger. She glared at me with cold, reproachful eyes for some reason.

“I see you’re finally awake.” Murakami-sensei let out an exasperated sigh.

“Ummm... Good morning,” I said.

“Am I a joke to you? Hurry up and solve this problem.”

Apparently, it was my turn to answer a problem in class. There were a number of math questions written on the blackboard; Okajima-kun, who sat in front of me, and Fujiwara, who sat in front of him, were standing before the board with chalk in hand. I guess the last problem’s for me.

I bowed to Murakami-sensei as I wrote the answer on the board. It must’ve been a fairly difficult problem for a first-year, because the class oohed when I finished.

“Good grief,” Murakami-sensei grumbled in a fed up tone. “Correct, even though you don’t pay attention in class.
