Private Toyogasaki, school building, hallway...
"Mashiro's in the classroom, and Utaha is nowhere to be found for now. I could message her later and have her look after Mashiro..." Using the excuse of turning Fukuzawa Yukichi into a seafood cheese pizza, Sogo Doma walked down the hallway, pondering how to slack off leisurely today.
"Ding!" Suddenly, inspiration struck Sogo Doma. "The perfect plan! First, I'll go fill up on that delivery pizza, then have Utaha keep an eye on Mashiro. After that, I'll get Shizuka Hiratsuka to punch me once, and I can lie comfortably in the infirmary. Umaru won't suspect me of skipping class, either..."
With the plan complete, Sogo Doma felt like a genius among slackers.
First, he had to get up to the rooftop—before gaining the aura of a model student, Sogo Doma had never known what keys were. As long as he could jump and run, that was enough. Of course, he also needed to find a spot where hardly anyone could see him.
For example, the multimedia audiovisual room ahead. Its door was half-open, yet there was no movement inside. All those suspicious signs proved one thing: this was the perfect place to climb over the railing and jump onto the rooftop!
As for whether there was anyone inside?
After mastering the skill of going "thud," two or three people might as well have been nobody to Sogo Doma. Even if they woke up, they would only think they had passed out from exhaustion.
A minor obstacle like this could never stop him from having a day of slacking!
Then—
The moment he entered, he stiffened noticeably.
"I-It's Utaha—cough, Shiba. Um, a dogeza is sincere enough, so I-I'll be leaving now!" Damn it, why did he have to run into Utaha? If he hadn't been
