That one day was the only time I had such a relationship with Matsumura Hina, and Golden Week ended quickly and uneventfully.
I arrived at school with sleepy eyes rubbing the top of my hair, and as soon as I entered the classroom, I noticed that people were looking at me differently than before.
But I didn’t pay any attention to those eyes, being a shady person, and took my seat as usual.
As if waiting for that moment, a hand is put on my shoulder.
“What do you want, Ryuki?”
The only person who would do such a thing to me would be Mukai Ryuki.
He might be the only person I could call my friend that I made during this high school life.
He has an average face, neither good-looking nor ugly, but he is admired by both men and women for his cheerfulness and energy.To put it simply, he is a good guy.
“I’m the one who wants to ask The whole school is talking about it.”
“What?”
“That Hikaru and Arimura Yui have broken up. Is it true?”
Rumors about other people are scary things, and even during Golden Week, when we probably wouldn’t have seen each other as often, those rumors about me were spreading throughout school.
Don’t tell me that it’s only the shady ones like me who see each other less often.
But the rumours that are spreading are not false, so I just reply.
“Yeah, we broke up.”
“Why? Did you tell her?”
“No, I was dumped. I heard that she found someone she likes on the other side.”
“Then call me. I would have bought you a sad meal or two. …… but you cut me off.”
“Hmm?”
During this question-and-answer conversation, I heard the words come out of Ryuki’s mouth, and when I asked him back, he pulled me to the edge of the classroom and whispered the words to me in a whisper. continued.
“No, I was actually told not to tell you about this. There’s a rumour going around in some circles. ……”
“Yeah.”
‘’Arimura Yui, actually, when she was going out with you, she was seen several times meeting with another guy. Apparently that person was the famous handsome Murakami Riku senpai.”
Hearing those words, I felt as if everything was connected.
In addition to being famous for being a good-looking guy, Murakami-senpai is also known to be quite a playboy.
She found someone she likes, and what she wants to do….
“Ah, but it’s just a rumour, so I don’t know if it’s true.”
“No, thanks for telling me. Thanks to you, I think it’s blown over.”
Seeing me like that, Ryuki smiled for some reason.
“Why are you smiling?”
“No, I thought you’d be more sad. I was worried about how to approach you, but my worries were unfounded. Have you already found a new love? ”
“No, of course not.”
“Arimura was a waste for a good man like you. Hey, how about Matsumura Hina?”
When he said that, we turned our attention to her, who was happily hanging out with her friends.
I remember a little of what happened the other day, but she doesn’t think it was me, and I drown it out as something that never happened.
“I’ve barely been involved, and it’s too high. Too good for me.”
“I don’t think so.”
“The only person who can say that to me is you, Ryuki. I think you’re a better match for her than I am.”
“No, no, no, that’s not true. I have someone in mind …….”
“Yes, yes, I’ve heard that story a thousand times.”
“So cold~”
“And I’m done with relationships for a while. I’m done with it this time.”
In response to my line, Ryuki said in a gentle voice: ‘I see, I’ll buy you a meal one day’. The teacher came in at the right time, and it was time for the morning assembly, so we each took our seats.
“Alright, did you guys have fun during Golden Week? Do you want to hear the good news or the bad news first?’”
The teacher, standing in front of the podium, asked us in a bad tone
The classmates were saying ‘good news’ and ‘bad news’, and I was thinking that I wanted to hear the bad news first, but I didn’t say anything and waited for the teacher to make her announcement.
Incidentally, I’m the type of person who eats the strawberries in shortcake last. Isn’t that better? I heard it’s bad manners.
“Then let’s start with the bad news.”
The teacher, perhaps calling out, started with the bad news.
“The bad news is about the test. At the end of this month we have mid-terms and soon after we have final exams. Next year you’ll be taking them, so start them now. I often hear from graduates that they regret that they should have started earlier, so don’t you all regret it.”
Everyone replies to the teacher’s teacherly call with a languid ‘yes’.
“Well, but being a sophomore in high school is the last year to forget about studying and have fun, so don’t forget to have fun too! So here’s the good news!”
The classmates are thrilled by such a switch of tension from their teacher.
“We’re going to change seats now!”
