“…………”
As usual, the girls in my group responded in silence.
No, what’s going on here?
Is this some kind of new bullying?!
It’s not like they’re ignoring me, but rather, they’re ignoring me while staring at me. Is this some kind of advanced bullying?!!
…It’s really disheartening to receive this kind of treatment on the first day.
“Um…”
“…………”
“Ah… g-g-g-g-gomenne!!! I-I’m Azumi Fukitou! P-Please… please call me Azumi!!!!”
“I-I’m Renka Hotaruga… N-N-N-Nice to meet you!!!”
“….I’m Yuki Kagami.”
“Azumi-chan, Renka-chan, Yuki-chan, nice to meet you.”
I’m glad… it seems like it wasn’t bullying after all.
Because Renka-chan said she was male, with a short haircut, I thought she was a boy, but she still gives off a distinctly feminine vibe, so she must be a girl.
And she said I’m the first boy she’s seen in nursery school… so there’s no doubt about it.
Well, for them, if they don’t have any older or younger siblings, I might be the first boy they’ve ever seen.
If I think about it that way, I can understand why they might be nervous.
With that in mind, I looked at them again…
“Oh…ohhh…”
“This… this is nice.”
“U-um…”
Yeah, I can see that all three of them are visibly flustered.
Yes, I must have done something?! (Return)
But it seems like I was unnecessarily worried.
“I-It’s… it’s okay! Yoruto-kun, nice to meet you!”
“Yeah, I also want to have a lasting friendship with you. Nice to meet you too.”
“I-I’ll do my best! Please treat me well!”
They all responded like that as if they suddenly came back to their senses.
Yes, if a boy suddenly talked to them, I guess that’s how they would react.
Reflecting on my reckless attitude, I inwardly resolved to be good friends with them.
…Yes, I still didn’t fully understand this world with a male-to-female ratio of 1:10.

“Okay, everyone! We’re going to do morning exercise now, so let’s go to the playground!”
It seems that morning exercise started right after the self-introductions.
Following the teacher’s command, everyone stood up and put on their exercise caps.
I also followed suit and took out my cap from my bag, putting it on my head.
By the way, the cap color for our group, the Momo Squirrel Group, is pink.
Following everyone, we went out to the playground, where a large circle was formed and music started playing.
Oh, Sister Tsuki is over there.
When our eyes met, she smiled and suddenly seemed flustered for some reason.
Hmm? When I look closely, the girls around Sister Tsuki seem to be collapsing on their knees.
“Alrighttt!! Now, let’s start the morning exercise with the music from Cluenix!”
After the teacher’s command echoed from the speakers, lively music from Cluenix started playing.
Yes, the kids love Cluenix, don’t they?
I used to watch it on educational shows at home.
♪♪ Dance with Cluenix, dance with Cluenix, dance with Cluenix!! ♪♪
The exercises were the same as what I had seen on the educational program, so it was a relief.
I think I’m doing the exercises with a sharp movement.
As I enjoyed that sense of accomplishment, the music stopped and Sister Tsuki rushed toward us with a pounding sound.
