Movements in the Background - Part 4

I waited in front of Kobayashi's room as she finished getting ready.

This was the floor that Akasaka lived on as well.

By pure chance, Akasaka was just leaving her room. The two of us made eye contact for a few seconds before she turned away. I guess she hadn't put two and two together and realised that I had Hamasaki's student card, which she had stolen.

I continued waiting for Kobayashi. She was taking quite a long time. I tried to call her using the contacts system provided by the school; however, the call did not go through.

"Have you been waiting long?" The door suddenly swung open as Lucy walked out dressed in a long skirt and an old, greyish shirt.

I did wait a pretty long time, but oh well.

"I just got here."

"That's good. I was worried I was taking too long~"

She made her way beside me, and we began walking to the elevator.

"So which café are we going to?"

"It's one in the middle of the mall named The Outcome."

"Alright."
