章 71: Lie

After the classes ended for day one, Taro sat peacefully at the table reserved for him in the staff room, waiting for the others to swing by as promised. Since eighth grade and above classes were an entire different block from the lower ones, the teachers teaching those grades had a different staff room in that block. Hence, Taro spent the whole day not seeing the aliens and Thankappan, except for the brief glances he had at them taking classes when he was on his way to the second grade.

Anyhow, he wanted to discuss how the classes went with them. However, the wait for them seemed longer than necessary. So, he decided to take a stroll through the school corridors. Since the students had already left the premises, it was simpler to walk during that time rather than in a break time or something, where the kids were running through those corridors.
