( Takeyama POV )

I fixed my hair in the mirror. Should I expose my piercings when I go out today.....?

I mean, they're closing up bit by bit anyways. I haven't worn anything on them in a while because it feels weird whenever I touch my ear.

But maybe today, I'll do a good deed and honor Daisuke-san.

"What's with this trend anyways....." I muttered to myself, as I latched on a pair of earrings I had received from my butler. "I'm not a delinquent, yet I'm wearing these....."

I accidentally pinched my earlobe.

"Ouch," I twitched in annoyance. I stared at the red mark I had so gracefully made on my ear. "Great, now I look like I'm perpetually blushing....."

"These don't look good....."

I took off the earrings, and put them back in the black box that I kept for such occasions. They came few and rare, but they did.

"This one....."

I pulled out a simple hanging earring. It had a simple yet funky vibe to it, so I decided to experiment with it. I'd never worn this one before, so it must have been a part of the gift box that Daisuke-san had bestowed upon me before entering campus.

"Alright, this one."

I put on the earring.

Jesus Christ, this one is a bit heavy. But it's not unmanageable.

I wrapped my scarf around, and put on a navy blue trench coat. I stared at the reflection in the mirror.

Looking pretty good, not gonna lie.

I flipped out my dorm keys, and walked out of the room, headed towards Seven Hills.

I've been getting a lot of stares. Maybe I should have left those earrings at home.

Everything was fine until a first-year Class D girl fainted across the street with a nosebleed, and she had to be carried away by her friends, who were more interested in me than their friend anyways.

I shuffled down the snowy street, walking at a brisk pace towards my destination. I hadn't checked the group chat in a while, but we were supposed to meet at around 12 noon. I don't think the time changed.

I turned the last left, and the majestic view of Seven Hills came into picture. It took me a while to register that we were actually hanging out at the Seven Hills. The spot where you go only when you're completely loaded with Private Points.

I shook my head, and stood by the entrance. Looks like I'm the first one to be here.....

I quickly opened up the group chat on my phone.
