In the end, I couldn’t turn down a call from the boys in my class, and we had a good time on the roof (?) After school, we had a chat.
If it were true, I would have planned to play with Ayase after school today as well, but…
[Ikkun, sorry ……I’m going meet the model manager I told you about last time, but it was today]
Apparently, she had a prior engagement.
I had some free time due to no plans, so I decided to take a rare trip to the school library.
(umm …… nice face)
In the quiet atmosphere with few people, I sat in a chair in the corner and read a magazine.
Unusually, this school has books and other materials brought in by students.
So, manga and magazines that seem completely unrelated to education are available for reading — I’m currently reading a beauty magazine that was released a few years ago.
Beauty magazines are good …… because the people in them are usually good-looking or beautiful.
It’s a feast for the eyes. I’d really like to buy them and read them at home, but… they’re bulky and not ridiculously expensive for a student to keep for years.
In that aspect, I’m very grateful that they have them in the library like this.
(A good face is justice. …… Just seeing it on paper like this is so heartwarming…)
I am immersed in a quiet space by myself, looking at such a beautiful face that I almost feel my face relax.
(Come to think of it, maybe Ayase will get to be in a magazine like this next time …… I seriously need to find a bookshop near me and buy it all —)
When I was thinking that, I suddenly heard a sound like sitting down from the seat opposite me across the table.
(…… You go out of your way to sit on the opposite side of the room even though it’s empty.)
Being an after-school library, there were few people in the room.
When I came in, there was even a book club member sitting at the check-out counter.
There has not been an atmosphere of many people crowding in since then, and the chairs in the library are considered to be quite roomy.
Could it be someone I know? What a thought, I looked around a little.
Then, perhaps because it was coincidental that …… the other side was also looking at me at the same time, our gazes met.
“Fufu, Pardon me for interrupting your reading.”
Soft smile.
Perhaps dyed, her long hair stands out in the light.
Her face is beautiful, and yet her face is elegant, with a hint of innocence appropriate to her age.
Her eyes are so clear that they could be mistaken for jewels, and she has a calm and elegant atmosphere.
Her appearance is so striking that anyone would be taken aback, as if it were a matter of course.
(…… I’ve never seen her this close up before.)
I’ve never spoken to her, but. There’s no way I don’t know her.
Like Ayase and Todo, she is a popular girl known by everyone in the school.
— Good-looking and talented.
She is the daughter of the president, an officer of the student council and seems to have a varied background
Such a girlfriend──Saijoin Hiyo tilted her head when she saw the magazine in my hand.
“Are you interested in beauty, Sakuma san?”
“Ah, no, …… it’s not like that, but— I mean, you know my name, don’t you?”
“Of course I do, your name is always above mine.”
“…… I see.”
I don’t know, I think she said it in a way that was a bit implied.
However, I wonder if I am the only one who thinks so, Saijoin took out the teaching materials from her bag and began to unfold them.
“You didn’t want something from me, did you? You’re sitting right in front of me.”
‘If you say you do, I do, if you say I don’t, I don’t.”
“……, you mean?”
“I don’t have any special business, but I was interested in Sakuma-san, so I thought I’d like to have a conversation with him at least once. I was about to study in the library when I happened to see you.”
When told that she was interested, I felt a little intimidated.
After all, in terms of appearance alone, it’s hard to compare her to Ayase or Todo, but she gives off an air of being older than her.
It doesn’t feel like I’m talking to someone of the same age as me, and I can’t help but feel like she’s literally the school’s flower
“After all, I haven’t been able to surpass you once since first grade, and it’s hard not to be interested, isn’t it?”
“…… I selfishly thought you wouldn’t be interested in rankings and that sort of thing.”
“It’s just prejudice, Sakuma-san. Even though I look like this, I have a personality that makes me want to be perfect…well, I’m a lot softer now than I used to be.”
I am more than a little surprised by that story.
I thought that the girl Saijoin was a girl with this kind of personality.
I had never talked to her before, so it’s natural that I don’t know her, but…I found it interesting that it was somehow different from the image I had from what I had heard.
─ ─ Serious, competitive and rather stoic.
I thought she was just a girl with high specs and not very competitive, but it seems she is different.
(Is she so strict with herself that she comes to study even though the test has just finished, like this? ……)
People like that can honestly be respected.
That’s why I thought, although it may be a bit of an arrogant thing to say, ‘I want to know about the girl Saijoin Hiiya’.
The other side went to the trouble of saying she is interested in me too. I want to follow Ayase’s example and take this opportunity to get to know her better too.
“Okay, my favourite food is strawberries, and my favourite thing is pretty, pretty things (beauty).”
“Why are you introducing yourself all of a sudden?”
“Well, I thought I’d give you something to talk about.”
“…… I see, so that was your intention.’
Saijouin puts her hand on her chin a little in thought.
And then —.
“I thought it was a prelude to confessing to me.”
“What circuit led you to that conclusion?”
Even I would not come to such an interpretation.
“No, you said you liked beautiful women. I don’t want this to sound like I’m boasting, but I’m a good-looking person.”
“Well, yes.”
Certainly, you are well-dressed at a level where I would very much like you to let me take one of your photographs.
But I’m not comfortable asking for one because of the atmosphere.
“However, isn’t it too much to say that ‘beautiful = I like myself’? No matter how much I like beauty, I’m a guy who wants to see what’s on the inside and fall in love…”
“Fufu, that was egotistical. I’m a little embarrassed.”
She apologises. Saijoin laughs elegantly.
I was startled by that expression, but I cleared my throat and tried to regain my composure.
“Gohon! Well, I’ve heard rumours that Saijoin is also constantly getting confessions, so it’s probably no wonder she’s so skeptical.”
“That’s right,…… perhaps it’s because new students have recently entered the school, but the number of confessions has been gradually increasing. Of course, I appreciate it, but ……”
Slightly troubled, Saijoin sighs.
Seeing her like that, I couldn’t help but tilt my head.
“Perhaps you even like someone?”
“You guessed it, as expected Sakuma san”
Saijoin closes the open material and smiles in a ladylike, elegant manner.
“I told you that I wanted to talk to you, but you provided with a conversation topic earlier, and …… since I’m here, I’ll provide you with one of my own to add to the conversation.”
I have never said this to anyone,’ she said.
The mature, beautiful girl in front of her, with her hot, maidenly eyes —.
“I’m actually still in love with the boy I first had feelings for when I was a child,…… and this is a secret, okay?”
So she said, holding up her index finger to her mouth.
