What I saw there is hard to describe.
It was like a glimpse of beauty like a painting painted on a canvas.
–Tanba Kano.
The person who called my name.
It had been a long time since I had seen her face up close.
I didn’t think I’d be so taken by her eyes.
I used to think that Shuta’s eyes were blind, but I may have been wrong.
I am sure they are only beautified because my mind is in a state of disarray and anxiety is precipitating.
My rigid beliefs get in the way.
How can I look at a beautiful painting and not be moved?
Why do I doubt when I hear a beautiful tone?
Her voice was clear, the same as the tone I heard last year.
I hadn’t even heard her voice in a long time, because I wasn’t interested in the conversation of the gal group, even though we were in the same class.
I wondered if I could still use such polite language.
I instantly put on a poker face and turned to face her.
“Oh Tanba-san,…… what is it? Ah, wait…… could it be a confession?”
An idea I had in the corner of my mind while I was concentrating on my studies.
Tanba san, I remember that Shuuta told me that she is going to use the first place in her grade as a temporary boyfriend.
I uttered it out loud as quickly as I could.
That’s how close to mindless I was.
“Yes, how did you know that?”
Tanba-san was surprised with a puzzled look on her face.
I had not expected that kind of reaction.
Perhaps I was getting a little ahead of myself.
I reflected a little and explained.
“Shuta,……, you said that to Kisaragi, who is in the same class as me, didn’t you?”
“That’s, yes. Yes, that’s right.”
“Ah, Shuta didn’t speak fluently, it was me who forced myself to ask. That’s bad.”
In fact, it was all Shuuta’s fault.
I just felt sorry for him about his grades and followed up.
Maybe I didn’t want to sound like a complainer in front of Tanba-san, though.
…… I speak with a somewhat fuzzy head.
“That, yes. I was only talking to Kisaragi kun, so yes. Ahh, that’s embarrassing…… isn’t it”
Tanba san’s face suddenly turns bright red as she speaks.
This is not the Tanba Kano I know.
It’s only natural since I wasn’t interested in her, but that doesn’t make her too different.
With the discovery of this unexpected aspect, I felt as if a hole in my heart had been filled with something.
“Well, relax. I’m sorry I ignored Tanba san’s timing and started the conversation.”
“N-no. It’s not Kanda-kun’s fault. So, this is very difficult to do in this situation, but could you please go out with me?”
The last word was in a serious tone of voice.
Purple eyes looked into mine.
Tanba-san, you’re so easy to talk to, aren’t you?
“Sorry, not today.”
“Hee?”
Tanba-san stared at me with a puzzled expression.
I tried to joke around with her while she was talking so easily.
Maybe I was a little too familiar.
She is not Tsukane, but I’m out of my mind too.
“I have time tomorrow afternoon though”
“Relationship means companionship!”
This time, the voice echoed powerfully through the hallway.
I had never heard Tanba-san’s voice like this before.
Her face and voice were so fresh.
“Didn’t you hear about it from Kisaragi-kun? It was a confession, wasn’t it!”
“I’m sorry. I didn’t think you would be that angry. But Shuuta told me he was your temporary boyfriend.”
If Tanba-san’s confession was serious, I would have listened to her seriously.
But it’s different, right?
I don’t want her to get the wrong idea.
However, the way it is applied seems to be similar to that of a Tsukane.
Even at a time like this, I can’t help it, can I?
“And, were you okay with yelling? Someone heard you, probably.”
“That’s …… a big deal. Please come here for a moment.”
Tanba-san looks around to make sure that there are no people on either side of her.
When she finished checking, she grabbed the sleeve of my uniform and started running.
The opposite side of the direction of the classroom.
One of the several staircases in the school.
I went up the rarely used stairs and arrived at the top
“Then, let’s talk seriously again.”
After regaining her composure, Tanba Kano began to speak again.
