Finals were safely over at last. Just as the midterms, the war with sleep deprivation had continued, but I had won the battle with my falling eyelids, and my grades rose. Junka’s grades were lower than mine this time, and my ascendance seemed to disappoint him.

Eiji was seventh highest in our year. Yuuki was 19th. The detective association ordered by grades was: Eiji, Yuuki, Hinata, Nao, me, Junka. That made Junka the dumbest of the lot.

Junka reported the details of the shovings to the teachers and the police, and they quickly took action to bring Kurosawa-senpai in for questioning. The rest was out of our hands.

With all that behind us, Junka triumphantly took the association application form, signed by six, to the staff room. He proudly waved the paper writ “approved” before us like a man announcing the final decision of a trial to the mass media.

I knew he was happy, but he needed to calm down.

“This means we get our own room, though it is a shame that we won’t get a budget, our not being a club and all. Well, this makes things easier in all sorts of ways.”

Eiji looked like a cuffed prisoner who had just given up on his freedom.

“I may have made a horrible mistake…”

Yuuki bowed respectfully.

“Rest at ease, Eiji-sama. Come hell or high water, Kanno Yuuki here will protect you.”

Her voice had trembled a little. It seemed like the two were ready for war.

“It’s summer break already, eh, Suzaku-kun?”

Nao showed me a tender smile.

“So, how about we all go have a barbecue by the river so our detective association can get some bonding done?”

“That is a wonderful idea.”

“Let’s go!” Hinata was excited, “I’ll make curry. It’s my specialty.”

“What do you think? Junka? Sannomiya? Kanno-san?”

Eiji’s elegant expression clouded over.

“Why should I have to have a barbecue with some plebs… if we have to, just come to my villa. I’ll serve up some dishes the likes of you will only see once in your lives.”

Junka placed a hand on Eiji’s head.

“You’re already a formal member, Sannomiya-kun. And I’m the chairman. You’ll have to abide by what I say. We’re going to have a barbecue, it’s already been decided.”

Eiji knocked Junka’s hand aside and turned away, pouting.

“Fine, whatever.”

Nao clapped.

“All right, it’s decided, then!”

I looked out the window. The summer sun was radiating brilliance, and I basked in the rays that felt on the verge of burning.

Summer was about to begin.

Hair blowing in the dry breeze, I felt liberated, and thoughts of my future drove through my mind.

Author’s Comment:

There is much more to come.

Translator’s Note:

Not from me. I need to arbitrarily pick something else to translate again.

Editor’s Note:

And so I must move on to something else. I’m not sure what it is yet, but I may join Dr. MIA for a little while. We were able to become friends in the first place because of our similarity.
