And then it is a little later after the first day of transfer. During cleaning duty, the desk have started to close. Noriko was somewhat overwhelmed.
In Tokyo, or rather in the school where a criminal is present, this is so much like the TV series [High School Rakugaki] or some sorts, with a bunch of guys smoking that you won't think that they are high schoolers -half of myself actually believed it to be like that.
Even then, this is not Tokyo, no matter what kind of place the transfer was made, you would think that this is still the same place. From the moment she was born, Noriko has never left the place that she was born.
Just based on physical appearance, there are a lot of male classmates of Noriko that looks a lot younger than her.
Although it is not rare to be transferred in your third year, nobody asked for the reason. In any case, even if it feels cold, you'll get used to it eventually.
It's just, at first, when being greeted in the Principals Office, the Student Council President- Makishima as he was called, he looks mature and probably older by 2 to 3 years, that's what I feel anyway. I wonder if he is special...

[Hey]
There was a voice coming out of the female student
[Ah... Yes, uhm....]
Speaking of which, she hasn't introduced herself yet.
[Taga Natsuki. Nice to meet you. Anyway, have you decided on which club to join?]
[No...]
[Are you interested in SF?]
[SF? I don't know much about that stuff.]
[But you read books right?]
During my self introduction, I did remember mentioning an interest in reading books. I also said that Noriko also means [nothing special].
I don't need to join any club activity. I have to strongly refuse- if not for my goal, I don't really care much. While thinking on how to say this....
[We are from the SF club, right now, we don't have enough members. If it is alright with you, won't you come a take a look?]
With that , Natsuki quickly stood up.
In the end, I wasn't able to come up with a good way to refuse, there's nothing I can do I guess.
(Wouldn't it be better to clearly say it at a time like this)
