I was about to end the conversation and leave alone, as planned.
The timing was good, but I was curious about a rare combination of things these days.
“Where have you been? Both of you.”
“I was carrying materials to the staff room. I’m Chiharu’s chaperone.”
“Because I’m still class president!”
Chiharu is indeed the class president, but no one calls her that.
She is aware that no one thinks of her that way, so she sometimes emphasizes it by doing good deeds.
Shuuta was often used as Chiharu’s errand boy.
The two had been estranged recently, so it was a relief to see things back to normal.
“Well, Shuta has club activities, right?”
“Ah, bad. Then I’ll go first.”
Perhaps he had forgotten, and ran out in surprise.
Shuta belongs to the soccer club.
Even though he’s not that tall, he plays the keeper position due to his high reflexes.
In the end, I didn’t have time to explain it to Shuta.
I’ll call you when I get back. …… It’s a hassle, but it’s unavoidable.
And then Chiharu became the remaining three people, and even Tanba-san came there.
No, if she came over here, she would be suspected, and above all, Chiharu frowned a little.
“Tanba-san, what do you want?”
Chiharu’s tone was light, but she was a little wary.
That’s true, Tanba san is very friendly with Chihara.
Neither I nor Tsukane know what happened in the past, but Chihara and Chiharu’s relationship is what we call a “dog and monkey” relationship.
If both Tsukane and Tanba-san had become bitter, the effects of the feud would eventually reach this point.
“I need to talk to Yukimura-san. …… No?”
“I see, if Tsukane is good, it’s good. I don’t do things the way Shion does.”
Although she has no idea what her purpose is, and being of the same gender, there is little to be wary of, she still mentions Chihara’s name as if to advise her.
“I know. Then it’s okay for me to befriend Yukimura san personally, isn’t it? Shion has nothing to do with it.”
“…..What do you want? It’s not like there was anything special going on at this time of year.”
The moment that name was mentioned, Chiharu became alarmed.
Chiharu doesn’t know what’s going on, so it’s no wonder, but from my and Tsukane’s point of view, it’s nice to hear it from Tanba-san.
But Chiharu reacts more than I expected.
“Huh, you didn’t hear that? Our conversation during lunch break.”
“That has nothing to do with it, does it? Tanba san is such an actres”
Tanba san doesn’t seem to have answered the question, but she has answered it properly.
If there was anything, it is not wrong to say there was.
Then, as if to add to it, Tanba san explained.
“I just got a little pissed off, that’s all. But I do think it’s special that I have a boyfriend, though.”
Having a boyfriend is indeed something special.
I think it is too dangerous to tell Chiharu so as to push her away when she says it is not relevant.
It is like confessing that it is related.
Maybe she thinks Chiharu knows what’s going on, too.
“Hee, I thought it was a lie, but it seems to be true that you have a boyfriend. I see, Tanba-san is being followed around by an annoying boy, so you must be bored right now because you can’t make out with your boyfriend.”
“Well, something like that.”
Tanba-san maintained a calm demeanor.
For a moment, her eyebrows furrowed, probably because she realized that Chiharu didn’t know the secret.
I wonder if she was somewhat concerned because not only me but also Shuuta could have known Chiharu, who is a good friend.
Hearing those words, Chiharu finally let her guard down.
“Tanba-san, I usually only saw you talking around Shion, but you do talk quite a bit. The way you pack is similar to Shion. The way it is packed is similar to Shion. I don’t really understand the wording though.”
“I take it as a compliment.”
Chiharu says, emphasizing her dislike for her, but Tanba san smiles with a cool face.
Positive thinking. Perhaps it is Tanba san’s strong point to take it in her own good way.
“I can see that your heart is set. I’ll leave the rest to Tsukane.”
“Then, let’s go, Yukimura-san. Also, Kanda-kun, good-bye.
“Yeah”
At the end, she called me by my last name as if to tell me she hadn’t forgotten I existed.
Well, I can’t help but be a stranger,……, although I don’t really miss you or anything?
And so I was left alone with Chiharu.
“Hey, Tomose~”
“What is it?”
My body trembled as I heard the artificial voice.
Are you a little irritated, Chiharu-san?
I prepared to run away if something unpleasant happened, but it seems there was no need to worry about that.
“Let’s play catch, shall we?”
“Is that so……okay”
I happily replied that I’d have some free time after this, so I’d like to go play with her.
The women’s basketball team is closed today.
The gymnasium is the place where the women’s basketball team works, but the other clubs are not using it today.
In other words, the gymnasium is now a free space.
There is plenty of space to play catch.
Chiharu must have been a little stressed out ……
But will Tsukane do well? No, she will do just fine.
