"Oh?"

Gulf entered the classroom and looked confused. No one was there. There should have been lots of people waiting for class by now.

He went to look at the board and discovered that the class had been cancelled today. He was completely free until third period. Mew was in class all afternoon, so they hadn't planned to meet up.

"What am I going to do?"

For the first time in a long time he had time to himself. Gulf was thrilled. It wasn't that spending every minute of the day with Mew was bad, but sometimes it was nice to be alone too.

"I could go and watch a movie. Or maybe go to the bookstore? I won't eat at the cafeteria. It would be nice to go out and eat somewhere else."

Gulf left the campus, and headed to the station. The university station was a shopping district, with a department store, movie theater, and so forth. He was going to go to Mew's house later today, so he might as well kill some time around the station.

"I'll go and get some tea."

He sit down with a drink at the coffee shop. They didn't mind if you sat in there for a while, and the atmosphere was leisurely and nice.

"I can do some shopping too."

Mew was running low on beer at his place, so Gulf would pick some up for him. And then some toilet paper. Gulf smiled to himself as he worked out all the things that Mew was in need of. He was just like a housewife.

Whoever thought of it first was the one who picked up the groceries. They would then split the costs when they got back. It was a fair system.

"Well, I'll go to the bookstore first"

He wanted to leave the heavy shopping until later. He wasn't adept at carrying heavy stuff, so he would have to get a taxi going back. It wasn't vert expensive from here to Mew's anyway.

As he headed in the direction of the bookstore, Gulf suddenly stopped dead in his tracks.

'...what?'

What he saw rendered him unable to think straight, like his brain had suddenly shut down.

'What?!'

'That can't be right. That can't be...'

He had to take a closer look. He had to be seeing things.

But Gulf turned around instinctively. He went into a store to hide.

He didn't want to see.

He didn't want to see anymore.

But even so, he had to know.

When he peered out of the shop, there could be no mistaking it. Gulf was stunned.

There in front of him, Mew was walking with a girl.
