I became friends with the school’s idol.
It’s something I honestly don’t feel, but it’s something I’m sure of.
A friend to mine huh …….
“Ehehe.”
Oh, no, no, no.
I grinned unintentionally.
Well, But I can’t help it.
I’ve always wanted a friend, even though I’ve been saying I’m longing for one.
It’s okay to grin at least for now.
So I walked around in search of a vending machine.
It has been a month since I started talking to Iyoki-san.
I was no longer concerned about the stares and rumors around me.
Is it a mistake to worry about it?
Finally, I found the vending machine I was looking for, and started to look around.
It’s almost summer, and yet they have a vending machine that sells konpota. (Cream, corn soup)
I thought it was just for punishment games.
I’m going to buy some tea and go back to the classroom.
Lunch break will be over in ten minutes.
I took out my wallet and put in some coins.
I am thirsty. so—
“Ah, Iriake kun!”
“Ah”
The item fell with a clatter.
I was spoken to unexpectedly, and I pushed the appropriate button by reflex.
And only at a time like this,
“This is Konpota …….”
“I-I’m sorry. Suddenly I spoke to you.”
“It’s okay. I just wanted a konpota.”
“Fufu, You’re very strange, aren’t you? Iriake-kun.”
“Hahaha. ……”
Today too, I was thinking that Iyoki san is a beautiful woman and sipped on a glass of konpota.
H-hot
When I frowned, I was surprised to see a cold plastic bottle pressed against my cheek.
“It’s so cold!”
“Here you go. I can’t drink this much.”
“Are you sure?”
“Yes.”
“T-Thank you very much.”
I gratefully accept it.
The cold tea soaks into my dry throat.
This is it.
“But anyway, what brings you here, Iyoki-san?”
“I was just wandering around at random. Then I saw Iriake kun’s figure.”
“I see. Really, we often run into each other, don’t we?”
“Fufu, Yes, that’s right.”
I feel like I run into Iyoki-san every time I leave the classroom.
I’m used to the impossible encounter rate, so I’m a little scared.
But, well, there’s no way it was intentional, is there?
“Ah, it’s almost time for fifth period.”
“That’s right. Shall we go back?”
“Yes.”

After school.
I was planning to go home right away, but my homeroom teacher stopped me
I was told to take my notebook to the social studies preparation room.
And that too with Sato-san, a girl in my class.
Well, it was the day duty, so I had no choice but to do it, but it was the most awkward thing I had ever done.
I carried two thirds of the notebook and Sato-san carried the rest as we walked down the corridor.
While I was puzzling over what to say, Sato-san started talking to me
“Iriake kun is good friends with Sae-sama, isn’t he?”
“Well, we’re friends.”
Because I wanted to say “friend,” I went out of my way to say that
I see, so this is a friend. That’s the best.
“Eh, you’re friends?! Unexpected!”
“Unexpected?! I-I see.”
It’s true that Iyoki-san and I don’t have much in common, and we don’t match.
But when you say that to my face, it makes me feel a little bad.
“No, that’s not what I meant, I meant I thought you were dating.”
“Ah, I see, that’s what you meant. I’m glad to hear that. ……,wait I’m not in a relationship with her you know!?”
“Hahaha, nice retort!”
“Please don’t make fun of me.”
I started to feel somewhat relaxed.
As we walked along, conversing moderately, we ran into Iyoki-san.
“Ah, Iyoki san”
Come to think of it, we had been going to and from school every day recently.
Maybe she was going to my classroom.
“Iriake-kun, who is that person?”
“Eh? That person?”
Iyoki-san’s gaze flashed from me to Sato-san, who was standing next to me.
Sato-san’s body trembled when she saw Iyoki-san’s gaze.
“This is my classmate, Sato-san.”
“Hee? So?”
“E-Eh? So?”
“Yeah, so?”
I wonder why.
The always friendly Iyoki-san’s atmosphere is scary.
I was wondering if I had done something to offend her.
I was wondering what to do, when Sato-san, who was being stared at by Iyoki-san, hurriedly opened her mouth.
“T-This is the day shift work! I’m just heading to the social studies preparation room because I and Iriake kun were on day duty today!”
“Are you sure?”
“I-I swear to God! Amen!”
Why are you asking for help?
Now Iyoki-san looks at me.
“Y-Yes it is”
Why does she need this confirmation?
I was puzzling over this, and then she returned to her usual soft expression, as if she was satisfied with my answer.
“I see. I understand. Then I’ll wait in the shoe box.”
“Ah, I’m sorry. I’ll be right there.”
“Well, good luck, Iriake kun”
“Thank you.”
I left Iyoki-san and went back to the social studies preparation room.
“Even so, this day shift job is a tough one, isn’t it?”
“……Y-yes, it is.”
“?”
After that, Sato-san was kind of clipped.

“……Even though he is my Iriake-kun. Why other women?”
