On Max's signal, the boys in the class jumped out into the hallway simultaneously.
Then the girls also slowly left the classroom, speaking thoughtfully in support.
The result was a form in which only two people, Gaius and Corfu, were left in the classroom.
"So, what do you mean, talk to me?
To Gaius's inquiry, Corfu began to speak slowly in a somber tone.
"... Yes. Actually, I... something strange happened this morning..."
"Weird events?... Oh, sorry. Keep talking."
"Yes, I woke up earlier this morning than usual... so I thought I'd take a little walk and go outside. Then... there was a lake near my house... and it was red and cloudy."
"... what does that lake usually look like?
"It's usually colorless and transparent. It's not clear enough to see the bottom of the lake, but it's not cloudy"
"That's red?
"Yes. It was also red enough to be called bright red. But my family was still asleep, even though I felt sick at the time, and I didn't have to wake her up on purpose to talk to her, so I went for a walk. So I walked around for about twenty minutes and went back to the lake... and it was back in transparency."
"... confirmation, but you weren't asleep, were you?
"Yes. That's definitely not true. I had better wake up, and I washed my face properly and refreshed myself."
"... All right. That doesn't start with not looking at the lake for now. Can you show me around?
Then Corfu gave a big nod with a full smile.
"Yes!"
Gaius smiled back gently at Corfu, largely taking his right foot a step forward.
