Takeshi arrived at the academy ten minutes early and used the extra time to check his phone before heading into the building. He had three messages from Nyx sent early that morning.
The first said: I already found the restaurant I told you about at the shrine.
The second was a shared location.
The third: See you after classes.
Takeshi put his phone away without replying. Not because he did not want to, but because he did not know exactly what to say. He had agreed to go, but he had not told Aoi, which meant that if Aoi found out he was going out alone with Nyx after classes, the situation was going to escalate in a way he preferred not to imagine.
Before he could think about how to handle that, he heard his name.
"Takeshi."
Aoi was standing by the main entrance, her uniform perfectly arranged and an expression of relief on her face when she found him.
"You're already here."
She said.
"Yeah."
"Good, come on, first class starts in a few minutes."
