章 2011: Contact

As I was waiting for the scheduled train to arrive at the station platform, I received a call from Kaoru-san, informing me about the details of our trip to the capital.

Akane, Miho, and Yua already talked to her yesterday during that small meeting at the cafe. Since they appointed me as their escort, she decided to contact me directly regarding this.

Good thing she didn't call while I was with Orimura-sensei or I would have no excuse for my girls.

Before answering the call, I looked at the time—a quarter before 2 o'clock.

I stepped back from the yellow line and sat at one of the empty benches.

"Hello, Onoda-kun? I've sent you the ticket details for the express train."

I could only respond with a 'yes' before Kaoru-san continued speaking.

I guess that's enough confirmation for her that she didn't dial the wrong number.
