After school, when Rei was about to go outside, Yuu told him that he had to go to the restroom first and asked him to wait for him at the bench in the rear garden.
When he got out of the restroom, he was caught by his classmates and talked about the club activity observation for a while.
Adding up what he had heard from Masaya, about half of them were joining the go-home club. The other half were going to observe the club activities with the intention of joining a cultural club.
「Looks like I've kept Higashino waiting.」
Looking at his watch, it had been about 15 minutes since he left the restroom.
Yuu left the second school building and started walking around the rear garden, which was surrounded by trees.
On the third day of school, their homeroom teacher took them on a tour of the school, so he had a rough idea of where he was.
Sairyou Academy was originally founded as a girls' school and boasted a history of nearly half a century, but 15 years ago it started to accept boys and became a co-ed school.
Combined with the fact that the school's grounds were expanded on that occasion, it was quite spacious and dotted with various facilities.
Unlike the middle school, in which the areas where boys and girls were allowed to enter were clearly distinguished, the fact that he could see the figures of boys and girls here and there was so co-ed-ish.
While the girls wore pink and light purple sailor uniforms, the boys wore plain clothes.
The reason for this was that when the school became a co-ed one, a purple blazer uniform was instituted for the boys as well, but it was withdrawn after only two years due to repeated thefts and the fact that it made them easy to be targeted on the way to and from school.
This was why what he saw was the unfamiliar sight of girls in sailor uniform and boys in plain clothes.
Unlike the area near the main gate where the sports ground was located, the rear garden was shrouded in silence after school.
It was on the level that the sound of musical instruments as the concert band was practicing could be faintly heard from the school building.
There were few people in the surrounding area.
Past the rear gate, there was a bicycle parking lot, boarding house, and an archery range.
And then, at the far end, you should be able to see the prefabricated building for the cultural clubs.
On either side of the small path in the rear garden, benches had been set up here and there.
About half of the benches were occupied, with boys and girls sitting on them, but among them, he also saw a boy who was sitting in the middle and was sandwiched by two girls on each side.
The one who was putting into practice the phrase holding two flowers in both hands was probably either a second- or third-year student.
I wish I, too, could be like that as soon as possible.
Yuu made his way to his destination while hiding his inner envy.
「Oh?」
He could see that two girls were standing in front of Rei, who was sitting on a bench, and enthusiastically talking to him.
For the top, they wore a short-sleeved gym uniform with green lines, and for the bottom, they wore a pair of dark green bloomers.
One had short hair, while the other had her hair simply tied up in one bun. Both were slender and tall.
Based on the fact that they were wearing gym clothes at this time of the day, they were probably members of some sports club.
Above all else, Yuu's eyes were drawn toward the two's long and slender legs.
When it came to the lower half of the body, bloomers were as revealing as underwear, and the shape of their buttocks could also be clearly seen.
B, b, bloomers! Incredible. I guess it's been 22 years since I've seen one in real life!
During his old man Yuu days, in other words, the 21st century, bloomers had already been eradicated from schools all over Japan and replaced by shorts.
Therefore, bloomers could only be seen in eroge and other adult-type creative works.
Just to be able to see them in person like this, Yuu thought it was worth being reborn.
「Say, very please! Just five minutes is fine.」
「Ehh… But I was thinking of going to see the cultural club activities, so….」
「Just a little bit. It will be over in just a little bit! It's fine even if you just sit down.」
「E..even if you say so…」
