>I didn't have anything to do during the holidays
>so I just spent it drinking by myself.
>Eh?

>You could've called me so we could go hang out.
>Hmph.
>Going out of my way to ask you to hang out is depressing, so I'd rather just drink alone at my house.

>So
>While I was drinking, I figured I may as well work on a jigsaw puzzle.
>Okay.

>And now it's
>...done!

>Ah, this feels amazing, goddammit!
>Alright, time to fix it in place.
>This wood glue should do the trick.

>And then I fell asleep on top of it.

p87
>When I woke up the next morning
>the puzzle pieces were completely stuck to my hair.

>Haha...
>Let this be a lesson for you.

>Jigsaw puzzles and alcohol

>I think you're very cute.
>Cute, cute.

>I think that hairstyle

>She got her heart broken!
>Tokura, you little!

>You're sure putting the pressure on Enami-sensei, huh, Eiko-chan.
>Yeah.
>I like her type.

>I asked her if we would be able to become friends after graduation.
>Woah, seriously.
>You're sure on the attack.
>And then...

>After you graduate, I wouldn't be your friend.
>I'd be a former teacher.

>is what she said.
>I like that about her.
>I don't really get what's so good about it.
