Gen

What a pain. That was the first thing I felt. My luck ran out when the teacher called out to me after school, and now I have to deliver final exam results to a classmate I've never even seen because they're a shut-in. This kid's house is incredibly far. It's so far I wonder why they even chose this high school. With a dead look on my face, I boarded a train headed in the exact opposite direction of my own home. ...Are you serious? 20 minutes from here...? You've gotta be kidding me... I look it up on my phone and am shocked. A look of pure exasperation crosses my face. I'm doomed. There's no way I'm making it to club practice today. It's over... I resort to the eccentric behavior of staring up at the ceiling of the train in despair.

After being swayed by the train for 20 minutes, Gen gets off and checks the map.

...Oh. It's closer to the station than I thought. Even if it is ridiculously far from school. I wonder what kind of kid they are. I've never seen their face. He walks along aimlessly. Eventually, he arrives in front of a house. ...It's huge. They're rich. What is a rich shut-in even like... This is creepy. Saying so, he pressed the doorbell.

Ding-dong

I hate classics. My finals were terrible because of classical Japanese 🤬‼️ Sorry, I'm kind of winging the archery club and high schooler details, so the resolution might be low. Expecting a 'monitoring' style development. AI images 🤔
