Bitter Exclusion

Shouhei Kido is deep in a discussion with his best friend, Genta Idehara, about late night anime.

There were no real problems to speak of between Shouhei and his classmates… But that was merely on the surface. It was only after Shouhei and Genta went home that their classmates revealed their true selves.

“I say this every time, but I really am sorry for pushing you to be Kreepo’s partner. Though, I guess you can’t really say he’s your partner…”

“Obviously. Who’d want someone like him as their partner…”

The ones badmouthing Shouhei were Aoi, and Kaho Izumi.
