On the same day, each student was busy with their own intentions.
Without knowing such things, even I would spend the day with an unusual group of people. December 26—the day after Christmas.
This day was also known as the day when the least number of cakes were sold in a year.
Well, to be more precise, there was a period when it was famous for being a day when cakes didn’t sell. There were various theories, but one of the reasons was that Christmas would have already passed.
Japanese people would quickly switch their mood to the New Year after Christmas.
In recent years, it seemed that the habit of eating cakes all year round without being bound only by events had been established.
However, it was still a day when cakes didn’t sell well throughout the year.
That was why some people intentionally bought cakes at a discount, like a 50% off, on the 26th.
When I woke up in the morning, I didn't particularly care and thought I’d spend the whole day in my room.
This was because Kei was expected to recover soon. Her fever had already subsided, and she seemed to be gradually regaining her ability to move.
If Kei wished to restore our relationship in the future, then we’d return to how our relationship was before.
The room was clean enough, but there must have been dust and dirt in places I couldn't see.
I decided to thoroughly clean it up today. I lined up the cleaning supplies I prepared in advance on the table and started the battle.
As such, my lonely chores began in the morning.
I moved the furniture, wiped down everything with a cloth, and thoroughly disinfected everything with alcohol.
Of course, after finishing my room, I moved on to the toilet, bath, and closet. Finally, by the time the kitchen was completed, the sun had already set. It wasn't snowing at the time, but there was no sign of any snow melting yet either.
"Unsold Christmas cakes, huh?"
The 26th was almost over. Most of the cakes that couldn’t be sold on this day would be discarded based on the expiration date.
I wondered if they were on sale.
I don't need a whole cake, but if there are slices being sold at a discount, I might want to buy one. With that in mind, I decided to head to Keyaki Mall while I watched the setting sun.
