The test was not as good as it could have been. Strictly speaking, the test after Haruie’s visit to the classroom was particularly dismal. I would say that I barely reached the average score. The only saving grace was that it wasn’t math. I don’t think I could have done math in that state of mind.
Well, I saw Haruie again today in the shoe box …….
“Hi.”
What’s up? She came to the classroom again.
I’m so glad that Haruie-san came to ask me out. I’m still getting a lot of attention, but since Haruie-san is not paying attention to me, it seems strange that I should be concerned about it.
“I want to study at Zenkichi kun’s house today. I’m sure I can get good marks if Zenkichi-kun teaches me.”
Are you coming? Is it because I didn’t drop by your house yesterday? Rather than wanting me to come to her own house, she just wanted to spend time with me?
“Oh, that’s nice. Where are your textbooks?”
“I brought them with me. Even if I don’t have them, I can ask to see Zenkichi kun’s.”
“Well, my desk is square, so it might be hard for me to sit beside you.”
“I could just sit between your legs.”
It’s fine to sit on your lap, but isn’t it hard to study? At least it’s hard for me. I can’t write in my notebook.
Also, why is she making eye contact with Amamiya-san every time? Why doesn’t Amamiya-san go to study meetings, too? Does she have something to do with Haruie san?
“By the way, Haruka-san, do you have lunch prepared?”
“I’ve been given about 1,000 yen.”
In short, you are not prepared.
“Then, you should eat at my house. If I call my parents now, we can work something out.”
They might give yme a few scolding words, but they’ll prepare something for me somehow. No matter what, they love me
“Is that okay? Considering the time, it seems like it should already be prepared.”
“Don’t worry, don’t worry. My parents are strangely fond of Haruie san”
I’m sure they like Amamiya too. I guess they want a daughter after all. I’m sorry I’m your son! But maybe a son would be easier in many ways! He’ll grow up if you leave him alone!
Hmm? I heard a chair being kicked over there. What’s going on? Is there a fight going on?
“Hmmm…she is interested huh? I see.”
You are still conscious of Amamiya, aren’t you? What kind of relationship? Are you really close enough to travel to Dubai? It doesn’t seem very likely. ……
Well, never mind, I’ll have to call her sooner than that.
“Well, I’ll call mom, will you wait for me?”
“No, I’ll call her. I’m the one who needs their help.”
“Is that so? Then use this.”
I unlocked the phone and handed it to Haruie. It’s a little embarrassing that I registered my mother’s name as “mom,” but she doesn’t care about people’s phonebooks, does she?
“Hmmm…. Unlike me, you have a lot of contacts.”
Oh, she cares?
“Yeah, I don’t want to use just the app in case something happens. I also ask for a phone number and an e-mail address.”
To be honest, I don’t think it’s necessary to ask for an e-mail address, but it’s just in case, just in case.
“Fufu, I don’t have any friends to begin with. Except for my family, I may have never called anyone other than Zenkichi kun.”
Haha, I wish you’d refrain from telling me such sad stories because it makes me feel bad. Well, I’ve been feeling the same way lately.
“I’ve been getting a lot of calls from females”
“…….You are too”
That’s the Lonely Wolf. She’s a beast when it comes to her perception of people.
“Which one of these females do you prefer?”
No, I don’t care. Why don’t you call my parents first? We’re going to eat you know
“Ranks people…”
“You don’t have to answer so seriously. I’m just asking which girl you think is the cutest, Zenkichi kun.”
I don’t mind, but I don’t think you should look in people’s phonebooks too often, you know? Most people don’t like it, so you shouldn’t do it.
“Well, I’m pretty sure you’re the prettiest girl I’ve ever met.”
It’s kind of like a rant about existence. First of all, even though she is unquestionably beautiful, it doesn’t feel real when she is always alone. And then there’s the unique way she speaks and the atmosphere. Maybe it’s an obsolete term, but is it called “kitchen sickness”? Well, she’s the type that would be popular in an anime or something, but in reality, she’s avoided.
“…… hmm.”
Oh, you look happy. I don’t think the rest of you can tell at all, but I can. She wears a mask of expressionlessness, but underneath it, she must be broken-faced. She looks cool, but when she gets complimented, she’s vulnerable. I like that.
“Hey, Hatoyama kun.”
Amamiya-san, who had come nearby at some point, started talking to me. I didn’t see her approach, but it was easy to guess the route she’d taken. The rows of desks were unnaturally disorganized. Had they temporarily doubled in width? It’s okay if you do it later, but just put the desks back properly, okay?”
“Hmm? Amamiya san, what’s wrong?
Aren’t you having a study session today?”
If I remember correctly, I think she made an appointment with someone before the test. I’m sure they were talking about the library.
“Yeah, After it’s hard to concentrate when there’s a lot of people around.”
“I know what you mean. We always end up chatting.”
Come to think of it, I haven’t had a study group since I was in the first year of middle school. Of course, I’ve had plenty of experience with groups of around three people.
“So, if you want, I can come to your house ……”
“Oh, hello, this is Haruie. Yes, it’s been a while.”
Oh, she finally started calling. But the timing is a bit bad, Amamiya was about to say something.
“… vixen.”
“……? Did you say something?”
“I didn’t say anything?”
I don’t know, I thought I heard something about a fox. Well, it’s non-deliberate to mention a girl’s soliloquy, isn’t it?
“Thanks for the phone, Zenkichi kun”
She seemed to have finished the call without my knowing it, and returned my phone to me.
“What did mom say?”
“She said she’d love to have me over.”
Oh, thank God. I’d feel bad if I couldn’t prepare lunch for her, even though I’d made her expect it so much. Well, I guess I could just buy a convenience store bento then.
“Fufu, I don’t feel bad about being welcomed.”
Well, I don’t think anyone would feel bad about being welcomed.
“I’m welcomed by mother too”
For some reason, Amamiya countered. Is that an honor? Is it an honor to be liked by my mother? She’s just an old lady.
“Well, that’s good to hear. Now, let’s get going, Zenkichi kun.”
She brushed aside Amamiya, who had gotten involved with her, and urged her to go home. Hey, I thought these two were close? At least they don’t seem to have met each other for the first time.
“Eh, yeah. It’s fine that you’re going, but what’s with the hand?”
“You like it, don’t you? You like my hands, don’t you?”
I mean, I like your hands, but do you have to touch them here? We’re going to be alone, so why not then?
“Fufu, That reminds me. I remember when we had intercourse while holding hands.”
Ah, so I didn’t mishear what he said that morning. This girl is the kind of person who talks about things like this openly even in the classroom.
Well, if Haruie-san wants to hold hands with me, I’m willing to do it. Well, for now, I’m going to ask Amamiya-san about her business and then go home. …… Whoa!
“Can you tell me more?”
Are your pupils dilated? What happened all of a sudden? Did your eye muscles relax? Or did your autonomic nervous system go haywire? Oh, it’s so hot, haha.
……I wonder if this might be the case, but is Amamiya-san stiffening up? Her smile is a smile, but her eyes aren’t smiling? I assume she is angry, but where was the element of anger? Girls are so difficult…I’m sure I’m always knocking out perfect communication. ……
