The self-introductions successfully concluded before the assembly.
Amane happily ran to the dormitory building to get her key.
1202.
The floor was quite good.
At least the lighting should be sufficient.
Amane only found out when she collected her key downstairs.
It turned out this building was co-ed.
Boys lived on the lower floors.
Girls lived on the upper floors.
The dormitory rules specifically stated that boys were strictly forbidden from going to the girls' floors.
And it prohibited relationships beyond friendship.
If discovered, you would be expelled~
However, it looked more like just a formality.
Boys and girls living on the same floor.
How could they not visit each other's rooms?
Right, Horikita-san?
Eh? Horikita-san????
Amane looked in surprise at Horikita Suzune, who was about to leave.
"What a coincidence."
"It is indeed a coincidence. I live right next door to Horikita-san. Please take care of me from now on."
Amane enthusiastically extended her hand.
"Hmm, as long as you don't disturb me, that's fine. I prefer quiet."
Horikita said coldly and then turned to leave.
It was a bit of a pity not to become friends with Horikita-san.
Amane opened her door.
A small, simply decorated room appeared before Amane.
The room was predominantly white.
Basic facilities were all available.
The total area, including the kitchen and bathroom.
Was about 13 square meters.
It was completely sufficient for one person.
Looking at the empty kitchen.
Amane planned to buy some kitchenware and supplies for it.
After a quick look around.
Amane was quite satisfied with this small room.
She took out her phone and checked the time.
The entrance ceremony was less than fifteen minutes away.
It seemed she had to hurry to attend the opening ceremony.
The opening ceremony of this school, compared to other schools.
Was not much different.
After the student representative spoke, the seniors offered their blessings.
Then respected elders gave some encouraging words to the newcomers.
The entrance ceremony concluded there.
Just as Amane was about to go to the shopping center, Kushida-san approached her.
"Miyako-san, a few of us are planning to go shopping at the mall, would you like to come along?"
Kushida-san!
Finally, someone invited her.
"Of course," Amane replied with a smile.
"Great! We can get to know each other."
It turned out that the girls with Kushida were Inokashira Kokoro, Wang Meiyu, and Ichihashi Ruri.
They were all gentle girls.
It seemed like this group was quite nice.
After Amane exchanged contact information with them, they walked together towards the shopping center.
Another small group nearby watched their retreating figures, with some displeasure on their faces.
"Why didn't Karuizawa-san invite Miyako-san?"
Originally, Karuizawa was going to invite Amane.
However, she suddenly hesitated, and Kushida-san got to her first.
"I just felt she wouldn't get along with us. Well, it's no big deal if she's not with us. Shall we go to the clothing store together?"
"Yay! I've been wanting to buy some new clothes for ages!" Sato Maya said energetically.
"Mm-hmm, let's go!"
Compared to Kushida-san's small group, Karuizawa's team was much larger, attracting many onlookers as they walked.
Whether by coincidence or by design, Amane didn't run into Karuizawa and her group at all along the way.
Kushida first led everyone to a bakery, where they ordered some small desserts and bread to tide them over.
From morning until now, most of them hadn't eaten anything.
But there was still some time until mealtime, and they would have to wait a long while if they wanted to eat a proper meal.
However, Kushida-san was very thoughtful and suggested they have something to eat first.
While everyone else was choosing attractive bread, they noticed Amane holding a crepe.
No, to be precise, it was bread with ice cream inside.
The slightly yellowish white cream looked very enticing.
"Miyako-san, where did you buy that… crepe?" Wang Meiyu asked with some uncertainty.
"This isn't a crepe, you know. These are two slices of cheese bread, put into a cone, and then you just get ice cream from the self-serve ice cream machine over there," Amane said matter-of-factly, leaving everyone present stunned.
You could do that?
The staff nearby also looked a bit surprised.
The boss was a beautiful redhead.
Smelled good.
Hmm, discreetly delete the last sentence.
Following Amane's example, she placed two slices of cheese bread, one on the left and one on the right, into a cone, then added ice cream, and finally folded the wrapping paper into a cone shape to hold it perfectly.
She tried moving it a few times; the cheese slices wouldn't fall out because they were covered by the wrapping paper.
She took a bite.
The warm cheese aroma of the cheese slices mixed with the cold cream in her mouth, creating a unique flavor.
It was a bit too sweet, though.
But the taste was much better than a crepe.
If the ice cream flavors could be more diverse, it would definitely be a huge seller!
"Hello, I'm Fujiwara Mayumi, the Manager Fujiwara of this store." Manager Fujiwara extended her hand to Amane.
Although Amane didn't know why the other party initiated conversation, she still reluctantly took a bite of the ice cream before shaking Manager Fujiwara's hand.
"My name is Miyako Amane."
"You're First Year students, aren't you?" Manager Fujiwara seemed to recognize them as new students at a glance.
Why was that?
Amane first looked around.
It seemed… almost everyone was a new student.
Where were the upperclassmen?
It couldn't be that upperclassmen had become as rare as endangered animals, could it?
If that were the case, Amane would climb over the wall and run away overnight!
"I'm Miyako Amane from First Year Class D."
"First Year Class D, huh." Manager Fujiwara seemed to be thinking about something.
Finally, she snapped her fingers.
"Then, Miyako-san, would you mind if our bakery adopted your combination method?"
So, Manager Fujiwara was planning this.
But it wouldn't cause Amane any loss.
After all, she thought such a combination was quite normal.
"Sure."
"Thank you so much! I was just wondering how to find a substitute for crepes, and now it seems I can solve this with a clever combination." Manager Fujiwara seemed very happy.
"May I ask, why can't you just sell crepes directly?" Amane asked, a bit puzzled.
Because crepes weren't a rare food.
This kind of food, which could be bought not far down the road, shouldn't be prohibited by the school.
"Because the most delicious crepes require fruit wine during preparation, and anything containing alcohol cannot be sold to minors here."
Manager Fujiwara's words were just an ordinary statement to Kushida-san and the others.
But Amane's expression changed.
If she couldn't buy anything containing alcohol, then wouldn't some necessities also be unavailable?
