JB Chapter 8
Chapter 8 – Get Set, Go! As Eita stepped onto the platform at Shounan-Fukasawa Station, a breeze blew past him. It was a warm, but slightly aggressive spring breeze. Eita could smell the sea’s salty spray mixing in with it. That made it a southern breeze. With that on his mind, Eita looked around on…

6 The monorail ran straight through the center of town, going from the southwest to the northeast. That same light could bring someone into the town, or take that person away. Mio learned a long time ago that she could see the entire town at a distance atop the hill behind her middle school. It…

She was in her cram school’s study room. Desks were separated into partitions, and each one held a different student looking at their own set of past entrance exam…

2 What exactly was her goal? She tagged along, claiming she needed to go to cram school, then she just hopped off the monorail with no further explanation. It didn’t seem like she had wanted to talk about anything. Normally if Mio had something on her mind, it was pretty obvious. As far as Eita…

Chapter 6 – Answer 1 After reviewing the question about the English sentence he had gotten wrong, Eita stretched out with a groan. He leaned back, putting his weight into the back of the chair.
