Prologue

I had been waiting, full of expectation, for this – for my new school life&h.e.l.lip;or so it was supposed to be. It was meant to be full of cute uppercla.s.smen, with tons of people that could become my friends&h.e.l.lip;

I was so excited for the beginning of a new part of my life that I couldn’t even sleep last night, and I’ll admit I was certainly overly enthusiastic when I got up this morning.

But, but but but!

“It wasn’t supposed to be like this!”

I raised my voice, shouting out slightly louder than I usually would, but in this case I was justified.

Even after I did a double take, however, the scene that was unfolding before my very eyes showed absolutely no sign of changing.

I’ve already done a double take though – about ten times. Since I’ve been continuously violently twisted my neck, from another person’s point of view, I probably look incredibly suspicious.

But, I don’t really care about that.

Right now, what was being held before me by the uppercla.s.smen of the “Cultural Clubs – the only clubs allowed” was the Private School, Mikagura Academy’s grandest feature, the Freshman Welcoming Party.

This is completely! Absolutely! Entirely! 180°! In every way different from the welcoming party I had expecteeeeeeeed!?”
