Track 6

Looks like everyone has returned by now.

Yes, everyone is present.

Alright, then let’s begin our final lesson!

(For the final class of my gymnasium experience… I wonder what’s in store?)

Based on today’s interactions with your classmates, I’d like for you all to write a letter.

A.. letter…?

Since this is a beta-test, the letters will also serve as feedback or review for what has transpired today. I will be reading these later, so please keep that in mind while writing.

Oh for fuck’s sake.

But who should we write to?

Shall I split you into groups of two and three? If it were up to me, the groups would be like…

Nishizono-san, Kinugawa-san and Shiramitsu-san will form the three-person group. From Shiramitsu-san to Nishizono-san, then from Nishizono-san to Kinugawa-san… Please write to each other in that cycle.

A letter.. for Ryui-kun…

The hell should I write to Nishizono…?

Th-There has to be something! Like, your thoughts on the tea I made, or how great I did as your senior!

Since everyone here is already familiar with one another, don’t feel pressured to only write about today’s experience!

Eh, but still.

You can’t just say “but still”!

…*laughs* …

(This means that I will be addressing this letter to…)

Azekawa-san and Kaguya-san will form a pair. Please write the letters addressed to each other.

Understood.

A letter for Azekawa-san, hm? There’s plenty I’d like to write about.

(Writing letters… is an act I am not at all used to.)

(However, there are plans that I’ll be reading a letter for the entire student body, during the finale of “Asu High’s Student For a Day Experience” event.)

(For now, I’ll first face Kaguya-sama head on… I have to stay focused and write with all I can.)

Writing a letter sure feels a bit embarrassing. I usually just use PeChat for these.

Isn’t it very retro? And to finish this experience off, these letters aren’t just text data, they’ll be sent to you in the real world as actual letters on a later date.

Think of it as writing an actual letter… Please think carefully about each word you’d like to say to the person you’re addressing it to.

Ya sure are committed to the analogue bit, huh…

Stationary is supplied within your desks, so use those tools as you’d like.

I also made a school stamp, so I’ll properly seal it with wax once they’ll be sent for delivery♪ Maaaan, I’m really looking forward to it!

Takato-senpai is demonstrating his hobby’s full extent. I am also anticipating its arrival.

I can’t wait.. to see.. the sealing wax…

…………

…………

(Everyone else is writing without hesitation, but I just cannot seem to get my pen to move.)

(Even though all I have to do is to handwrite the words on my mind…)

(This is a letter for Kaguya-sama, and also a reflection on today’s events. I cannot seem to process my thoughts very well.)

Azekawa-san, your hand seems to have stopped moving. Could it be that you’re not very good at writing letters?

…I suppose so. I cannot fathom what would be nice to write, nor how to tie them all together.

How about writing what has happened today in the gymnasium, one event at a time?

Sharing what you thought and felt at such exact moments with Kaguya-san is a way to go about it.

(All of the occurrences that transpired today…)

……

…Thank you for your advice, teacher. I will attempt this method right away.

(The gymnasium experience went by so quickly. I often find myself musing over the time I spent with my classmates and Takato-sensei.)

Ah, Azekawa-san, I’m glad you were in your dorm room.

Is there something you need, Kaguya-sama?

The letters we wrote in mahorova Gymnasium were delivered just a while ago.

!

Being able to hand my letter to you in person is a happy thing. It is a privilege reserved for myself only.

Thank you very much, I’ll be sure to read it carefully.

Yes.

On another subject, I have spoken with the principal about the visitation for Asu High once more.

I brought up the deal with reading a letter in front of the entire student body as the conclusion for the visit… It has now been officially recognized and set as a condition.

Understood. I would like to express my sincere thanks once more for setting this opportunity for me.

I shall do my very best during the event so as not to embarrass you.

You do not need to feel so pressured. I am simply looking forward to your visit to our school.

More than anything… I pray that you experience what it is that you yearn for.

Now then, if you’ll excuse me, I shall be reading the letter you wrote me shortly after.

Thank you for delivering it. I, too, will also read yours soon.

(A letter addressed to me… I wonder what Kaguya-sama has written in it?)

Plüss.

!

What a lovely conversation you had moments ago.

Yes. I wanted to experience what a place called “school” is like, and Kaguya-sama was of great help to me.

It was thanks to him that I was able to attend one not just in mahorova, and soon in reality as well.

Both you and Muneuji are so very enthusiastic. Do you find amusement in playing human?

It is a topic of interest to me.

I feel as though there are many unknown concepts both within and outside of myself, concepts beyond emotion.

(So, even if it’s cheap imitation…)

For a finale that tugs at one’s heartstrings, you’ll be reading a letter, I heard?

(New memories form within me as I experience more and more things.)

I suppose they’re seeking out an incredibly sentimental or emotional speech.

…Something that stirs the human heart, something deeply human.

……

…………

(Something sentimental, emotional. Something that stirs the human heart, something deeply human.)

(It must be something like this… Like this letter Kaguya-sama wrote, addressed to me.)

The two of you have exchanged letters, but what could the contents be in yours, Plüss?

What I wrote was…

(I could still repeat what I had written word for word.)

(What I wrote was about the events that occurred at the gymnasium in chronological order.)

(That’s… not something you can call a letter.)
