It was the last day of the end-of-semester exams.

They finished all their exams in the morning, so the end-of-day homeroom was filled with commotion. Though anyone would have been dead tired after three continuous days of testing, their young bodies had perked right up from the sense of liberation. They were up and already ready for winter break. Christmas was etched into their hearts. There were even some students grinning with the prospect of their New Year’s presents coming in the next month.

“Come on! I said to quiet down! Are you listening?! When you go home, don’t take any detours and don’t loiter anywhere! You have normal classes tomorrow and the next day, so you can’t get carried away by winter vacation! Are! You! Listening?!”

The single homeroom teacher (age 30) raised her voice, but it wasn’t like anyone would obediently settle down. They had finally been released from studying for the exams, and even if they had regular classes, they would just be getting back their scores and going over them. All that was left after that were the closing ceremonies—in other words, the Christmas Eve they were waiting for, and the huge party that most of the class would go to in the gym. Not a single seventeen-year-old in the entire world would be able to sit quietly in their seat under these circumstances.

But Kitamura got them all to finally stand and do their end-of-day dismissal. Right when that ended, the class broke into conversation.

“Yaaaaaaahoooooooo! Our exams are ooooooveeeer!”

“We did it~! We did it~! Winter break~! We’re on break~! I’m gonna have so much fun~!”

“What should I go eat? Where should I go before going home~?! Kyaaaaaaaah~!”

The thirty-year-old could only smile painfully as the jubilant voices made all of class 2-C vibrate. The other classes must have been making the same commotion, too. The sound of laughter and high-pitched conversations echoed all around the classroom. Finally, as though vying against each other, the children pushed out into the hallway. They all tried to get out even a moment faster, as though they were breaking out of the jail that was school.

Ryuuji put his bag on his desk after he finished preparing to go home. He stretched out his stiff shoulders and back. He thought he did better on the exams than he ever had before. The points concisely summarized in the patriarch’s notes came up so often that he almost had fun with it.

“Phew! Good job! How ’bout we go out to lunch together already~? Raaamen!”

“You don’t have any prep committee work today, right?”

Haruta and Noto, who had benefited from the patriarch’s notes like he had, hit him on the back.

“Right, well, today’s not great…”

What?! they said in unison. He scratched his head and mumbled through his lie.

In actuality, he wasn’t really sure what would come after “Today’s not great…” but he turned them down in the hope that he would have something to do. After declining his friends’ invitation, Ryuuji stared to his right. Because he hadn’t slept, his evil eyes were bloodshot as he cursed—wait, no—as he prayed.
