Too Many Losing Heroines! - Volume 3 - Chapter Pr2

Prologue

It’s mid-October. After school. I’m waiting for that moment before the canteen’s entrance in the atrium.

I took a piece of paper out as I watched the backs of the construction workers removing the maintenance belts.

-It’s the autumn release of Tsuwabuki High School’s <Micro News>. This is basically a collection of school news from our News Club.

What I care about isn’t the result of the club activities, nor is it the article about the cultural festival. There’s news from the office at the corner of the newspaper.

 <The bathroom in the canteen will be temporarily suspended until October 14 due to maintenance.>

…That’s right. The water pipes at the canteen’s entrance have to be renovated. The construction work is completed today. The workers left after finishing their job. I shoved the newspaper into my jacket’s pocket.

“Alright, let’s test out the new tap water.”

I heard someone dashing toward me the moment I took a step forward. I remember such wobbling footsteps.

I turned around and looked at her. It’s Chika Komari.

She’s a first-year student. We’re both in the Literature Club. Even I have to admit defeat regarding the knowledge of the school’s water system when up against her.

Komari put her hands on her kneecaps. She’s catching her breath as she looks up at me.

“Y-You’re here, N-Nukumizu.”

“Oh, you’re here as well.”

There’s a reason why Komari is rushing here.

Colossal buildings like schools usually base their water systems on a roof water tank. However, after this renovation, it now adapts something called direct water supply. In other words, we now get water directly from the pipes.

The tap water of Tsuwabuki High School. There’s no way Komari will let go of the opportunity to test her skills.

“There’s not just one tap. Alright, let’s drink together.”

“I-I don’t care about the water. C-Come here.”

Komari grabbed my jacket and started walking toward the school building.

“Hey, wait, aren’t you here to drink water too?”

“I-I already sneaked out and got a taste during the break.”

You’re such a sly girl.

“W-We should go to the club.”

“Fine, I got it. Stop yanking my jacket.”

Ah, sheesh, my jacket will be wrinkled if I reject her.

I sighed before Komari pulled me away-
