Aizawa Sara（side)
“All right! School starts tomorrow, let’s go shopping!”
With that said, I left my house and was heading to a department store to go shopping when a foreigner spoke to me in front of a park.
“Excuse me. Where is the XXX shrine?” *English
“Uh…ummm…”
The foreigner spoke to me, but I was having a very hard time because I am not good at English. I had barely made it through high school, and my academic ability was not something I could boast about. As I was thinking about this, I heard a voice from behind me.
“If you go to XXX shrine……”*
“Thank you, handsome brother.”*
A tall blond man spoke to the foreigner in English, and the conversation continued for about two minutes, during which time I could do nothing but stare.
After the conversation was over, I came to myself and spoke to the man.
“Oh, umm~!”
I called out to him and he turned around to look at me, and it was Sano kun.
I had heard many rumors about Sano kun, but now I didn’t care about that at all. I looked up and saw his blond hair shining in the sun and his cool face, and my heart was pounding.
“I-I’m sorry.”
I panicked, looked away, and found myself apologizing.
“Why are you apologizing? You didn’t do anything wrong.”
I was embarrassed to be told such a thing, but I managed to deal with it without letting it show on my face.
“Thank you very much. Sano-kun.”
“No, don’t worry about it. I just happened to see it and did it.”
“Well, still, you helped me out, so ……”
“That’s all right, Aizawa, you don’t have to worry about anything. I’m going to go now.”
After saying that, I watched Sano-kun’s back as he ran away. Sano-kun disappeared from sight and I started walking again.
“Sano kun’s eyes were so beautiful and straight. ……”
I thought to myself as I muttered that.
I wondered if the rumors about Sano kun were true. To be honest, he didn’t seem like such a bad person, at least I got the opposite vibe from the people who used to abuse me, and he didn’t seem like someone who would abuse anyone.
Still, it was cool that he spoke English.
From the next day, Aizawa found herself unconsciously glancing toward him
Sano kun, you’re always alone, but you don’t bully anyone or get involved with anyone like I heard in junior high school, and you clean up after yourself.
As I thought about this, I felt a little pain in my chest that Sano kun was always alone, and I wanted to talk to Ai-chan and Haruka-chan about it, so I asked them to go with me to the rooftop during lunch break.
As soon as we got to the rooftop, Ai-chan started talking to me.
“So, what’s the last thing you want to talk about in class?”
“Well, it’s unusual that Sara chi has something she doesn’t want to talk about.”
“Well, Umm, what do you two know about Sano kun?”
I asked hesitently about Sano-kun.
“Ehh?? Why do you care about that kind of thing?”
“Isn’t he the last person Sara chi would want to have anything to do with?”
They both replied as I had expected, but I started talking.
“Well, until recently I thought so too, but the other day a foreigner tried to talk to me and he helped me, and he cleans everywhere and helps the teacher carrying heavy bags, so he doesn’t seem like a bad person”
“Well~, it’s just a rumor, and to be honest, I didn’t have anything to do with him at all in junior high school, so I don’t know what to make of it.”
“Either way, I don’t think it’s anything for you to worry about.”
“I see. That’s true, too.”
After listening to what they said, I thought maybe there was no need to worry about that, but even though some part of me was confused, I responded with a smile.
When I talk to Suguru kun, I don’t think about Sano kun at all, but when Suguru kun isn’t around, I suddenly start thinking about Sano kun, which makes me wonder, but when I go back to the classroom and talk to Suguru kun, I had so much fun that I thought Sano kun’s moodiness was just my imagination.

On the way home from cram school after school
“Hmmm~, why did Sara tell me about Sano kun, I don’t think she’s involved, but she’s such a sweet girl, I’m worried about her.”
As I was walking along thinking that, I heard a voice.
“No, please stop”
“Well, well, don’t say that, you two, come with me.”
“Yes, I’ll let you have your fun.”
“I-I’m not going with you. Please let me go.”
“Let go of me!”
I knew that if the guys tried to force them to go, it wouldn’t be good for me, so I moved my body.
“Stop it!”
I stopped them.
“Haa? What’s the matter with you?”
“Can’t you read the air a little bit?”
“They don’t mind, do they?”
“O-Of course they are!”
“Look! They like it.”
I was so scared inside that I wanted to start crying at any moment, but I managed to hold on and let them go.
“Hey, hey, why are you letting them go?”
“You’re going to take care of us, aren’t you?”
He said something like that and grabbed my arm.
“Hey, let go of me!”
“Come on. You’re gonna have to take responsibility for letting them go, okay? Besides, you’re not going to get any help here at this hour even if you resist like that.”
“Why don’t you just hang out with us, sweetheart?”
“Who’s going to play with you? Hey, stop it!”
I let the girls go, but there was no way I was going to be able to handle three guys that were bigger than me, and I was about to give up when they took me away.
“Hey, wait up, you guys!”
I heard a voice and looked up to see a familiar voice, and a voice came out of my throat.
“Eh? Sano-kun?”
“Are you this woman’s acquaintance, and what can you do against three people just because you’re a little bit bigger?”
“Hmm? On the contrary, what can just three people do?”
I was surprised to hear Sano kun but came to my senses when I heard the men’s voices.
It was true that I was happy that he came to help me, but I didn’t think Sano-kun could do anything against the three of them alone, so I wanted to run away, but it was also true that I had a little bit of hope, and I couldn’t say it out loud.
“Hey, don’t you dare mess with me”
One of the men said that, and with that as a dividing line, three men attacked him at the same time, and I thought it was a bad idea, but the next moment, all three men except Sano kun were lying on the ground in a flash.
It happened so fast that I couldn’t understand what had happened, and I was in a daze.
“Hm~, I think I overdid it a little… Anyway, these guys aren’t likely to wake up for a while, so can you call the police?”
I came to my senses and called the police. The police came and our discussion ended.
“Then, I’m going home.”
“Wait a minute!”
“Hnn? What’s wrong?”
“Umm, t-thanks.”
“No. Don’t worry about it. Bye.”
“No, I mean, why are you going away so soon?”
For some reason, I stopped Sano kun who was leaving as if he was trying to escape. I thought I wanted to at least thank him for his hospitality.
“No, that’s not true, you know?”
“Oh, I see.”
I was so surprised to hear him reply with a smile that was different from what I had imagined, that I responded in a casual manner.
“Yeah, so? What can I do for you?”
“Umm, it’s not much of an errand, but I wanted to thank you for saving my life.”
“Hnn~, you don’t have to be so polite about it.”
For some reason I really wanted to thank him, so I thought about how to say it, and then I said
“No, I don’t feel comfortable with that! Please open your time tomorrow after school!”
“Ah, yes.”
I said that with a desperate expression, and Sano-kun replied with a surprised expression, but I ran away, not wanting to show my embarrassed red face.
When I got home and before going to bed, I sat on my bed thinking.
“Haa~, today would have been bad if Sano-kun wasn’t here.”
I took a deep breath.
I didn’t even want to think about what would happen if Sano-kun didn’t come.
Even so, I forced myself to make an appointment with him after school tomorrow, and I’m surprised that I could be so desperate even though I’m not like myself.
Thinking about that, I fell asleep before I knew it.
