"Himawari!"
Near rushed over to the girl and took her hands.
"Wow, it's really you! You've grown up so much, I didn't recognize you!"
"Of course, since we haven't met in ten years. It would be more odd if I didn't change."
"Ahaha, that's true. But still, I'm so happy! To think that Himawari would come for me! I was going to look for you myself, but I had a bit of trouble in class and―no, that doesn't even matter, right? Sorry, I'm getting too excited."
He wanted to say many things, to apologize for suddenly leaving home, to share his joy in this reunion. But all those things tried to leave his mouth together, so he couldn't speak properly. It was quite troubling.
"Hey Near. Whos that?"
"Yeah brother. Whos that beautiful lady your talking to?
Leana and Laura's question was a lifesaver, giving Near a chance to pull himself together.
"Eh? Ah! Yes! Laura, Leana, I'll introduce her to all of you―"
But when Near turned to the class, Himawari grabbed his sleeve to draw his gaze back, and pulled him closer.
"Near-sama… I've wanted to see you so much…."
Touching Near's cheeks, Himawari kissed him with pale pink lips.
At this heedlessly public kiss, the rest of the class screamed.
"WHAT THE HELL―!?"
"W-Wait a minute! Near! Y-Y-You! What do you think you're doing!?"
"D-D-Did you just kiss my brother!?"
Of course, Near was the one most confused about getting kissed by his childhood friend. He quickly removed Himawari's hands from his jacket.
"I-I-I don't know what happened either! Himawari! Just now, what did you…!?"
"What? …It was a kiss, you know?"
"I know that! I'm surprised because I'm totally clear about that! But why did you kiss me!?"
"Does there need to be a reason? A kiss is proof of deep love, something done even by people sharing the shallow, fickle, and crude bond of romantic love, so isn't it natural for friends of the same age to kiss? Rather, it's odd for them not to. Besides, kissing is simply a greeting in other countries."
"Eh? Is that true? Laura, am I the weird one here?"
"Of course not! Why are you following her pace!? First of all, mouth-to-mouth is an inexcusable greeting even in other countries! Is Japan a nation where greeting will be a kiss!?"
Their classmates recoiled at Laura's question and began to mutter among themselves.
「No, that's definitely wrong.」
「Totally impossible.」
「I'd throw up just thinking about it.」
"Oh, then Himawari, you're the one who's weird. The voters were unanimous."
Himawari laughed softly at that.
"There's no problem at all, Near-sama, because they are them, and we are us. I'm sure the our bonds of everyone else here are as cold as tundra. Our modern era is sick like that. But you and I are different. Such a kiss can't even express the love I've felt for ten long years. Even if we have sex right here, it'd be no more than a greeting."
"LIKE HELL THAT'S POSSIBLE!!!"
It was only the first period of the first day of school, but Year One Class One found themselves already unified in mind and spirit.
