“Aoi kun, what was your score on the quiz?”
After the gym class was over.
The results of the quiz were returned and Aki was the first one to arrive with the printout.
And then–
“I’ve come to see if I really should curse God !”
The noisy Yamazaki also arrived.
Although he said he would certainly talk to me later, I was afraid that his first words would be blasphemy against God.
This seems to be the way of the cheerful people.
“Why are you cursing God?”
“No, you see, if you have a good face, athleticism, have appeared on TV, and your sister is a model and you are smart too,…..it means that God gave Misaki a full course of luxury, right? As a man, I can’t help but curse God for this !”
“In other words, jealousy. That’s disgusting !”
I think that’s the way it is if I speak frankly.
“Geez ! If you go along with that, we’ll have to check Hiiyo chan’s test too !”
“Why is that again?”
“If she has a good face, good style, good athleticism, and is a successful actress right now, and she’s smart too, then I can’t help but curse God !”
“The boomerang you threw is stuck in your chest, are you okay?”
Ignoring my words, Aki gallantly plunges into the crowd in the middle of the class.
And when she appeared next, Sakura’s figure was also a set.
From the way her arm was being pulled, she must have forcibly snatched Sakura out of that crowd. Nice.
“I brought her here~!”
“Ah, um…..what are you doing here all of a sudden?”
Sakura, who was abruptly brought here, looks bewildered.
Well, it’s natural to have doubts if you were called here without saying anything.
“Should we be jealous of God?”
“Or perhaps not !?”
[ [We shall see the result of that scrape ! !] ]
You two are very close.
Is this what you call a cheerful people’s groove? I wonder if I’ll be able to keep up with that kind of groove.
“What are you two saying……?”
Sakura, who is timid and unable to understand the current situation, asked.
She spoke to me as usual, as if she didn’t care about the PE matter.
It brings relief to my heart.
“Apparently, the two of them are concerned about their scores.”
“Well, come to think of it, we just got our quiz back.”
“So they want to see if we’re God-given favorites.”
“I’m sorry, I don’t understand.”
No wonder.
“So, let’s start with you, Hiiyo chan ! What were your quiz results !? Oh, by the way, I got thirty-five points.”
By the way, this quiz was worth 100 points.
Once again, a perfect score of one hundred points.
Once again, the perfect score is one hundred points.
“Erm……as I recall, I scored ninety-two.”
“I wonder if straw dolls are better when it comes to cursing God?”
“Relax, perhaps it only works on people.”
Hearing Sakura’s score, Aki tilted her head toward me.
However, her eyes didn’t seem to be smiling much at that moment. It is rare to see eyes that can’t distinguish between joking and serious as these.
“It’s amazing, Sakura san. That’s it, isn’t it? I don’t know about you and me, but you have a job, right? And yet you scored 90 points……”
“The main thing for a student is to study. I didn’t want to use work as an excuse.”
“Honors student, here’s an endangered species of honors student ! ! !”
As expected of Sakura.
She is kind, sociable, athletic, dedicated, beautiful, and sincere, and she knows her place.
I would love to hear it again from the two people who tried to curse God.
“Well, I don’t care if Sakura san is smart or not. As a man, it just makes me feel like “As expected of Sakura san !].”
“I-it would be a little troublesome if the test results alone increased my favorability…”
“I’m more concerned about Misaki’s score !”
Damn ! He said. Yamazaki, who tapped my desk vigorously and brought his face close to mine.
I had no idea that at my age, I would be subjected to such a pressurized interrogation.
“I don’t mind you asking mine, but…..how many points did you get, Yamazaki?”
“I got twenty-five !”
I think there was an entrance exam just before this, but is it just my imagination?
“Oh, I’m curious too.”
“Even Sakura……”
“Fufu, isn’t that nice? It’s just a little curiosity.”
Sakura, who brought her face close to me, smiled elegantly.
I’m not ashamed of my score, but I’m somewhat embarrassed when Sakura is interested in this way.
However, it is strange that I don’t tell my own score after asking Yamazaki about it.
I took the returned quiz printout out of the file and put it on the desk.
“Oh my, your score is higher than mine.”
“Aoi kun got ninety-eight points…….”
“Okay ! Aki, we are going to curse God with straw dolls now !”
“Then, we’ll start by securing the straw !”
Is it not something you do to people?
I’m going to be cursed, so I really don’t want them to do that.
“Even so, Misaki san is really amazing.”
Aki and Yamazaki asked, [Where do you get straw?], [In the backwoods, maybe?] and [Do we need nail bats?] or [Why don’t we just use cement?] As Sakura was talking about something like that.
—It’s no big deal.
After all, this was my second time in high school. I remembered it to some extent, though vaguely, and once I studied it again, I could get it into my head to some extent.
The fact is, I’m just a cheater compared to Sakura, who scored 90 points on her own, and it’s not something I’d ever praise.
“I don’t think so.”
“Is that so? I have only known you for a short time, but I have the impression that you are a person with no flaws.”
“I’m full of flaws, you know?”
I’m still a gloomy person at heart and a cowardly person who can’t give up on his first love.
The reason Sakura looks the way she does is because I’m living my second life.
“I think you did have a suspicious attitude when we first met…..shyness, I guess. I didn’t think you were the kind of good actor that Kisara san praises a lot.”
“R-right…..”
I’m glad she;s agree, but….I don’t know, it’s heartbreaking.
“But I know that there’s more to it than that.”
Saying this, Sakura smiled a small smile at me.
“The kind side, the respected side, the talent that makes me a little jealous…I like it.”
“!?”
Her smile and words make my heart skip a beat.
Even though I’ve been able to speak properly recently, I still can’t get used to these casual expressions and words.
I, who can’t give up on my first love, am me, but Sakura is also Sakura.
“……You’re so unfair, you know.
“Fufu, I’ll take that as a compliment.”
Of course it’s a compliment.
That’s why I’m happy to be direct.
