Chapter 23 (1/2)

”Please go out with me!”

”Umm… I'm sorry, I can't”

I wonder how e

The week after the sports festival While I was attending class as usual, during break time I was called out to by a boy I didn't knowHe was standing on a staircase landing which was in a corridor that not h the locations are different, what they all had to say was the same

”Having seen shi+nozuka at the sports festival, I thought you onderful! If it's alright with you, would you please go out with me?”

As for this whole ”Please go out with o somewhere?”I've already understood that much That makes me all the more sad

”I'm sorry, I can't”

”Is there someone else you like?”

”Ichinose-senpai…”

”…I see”

Although almost everyone would understand when I said I liked Ichinose-senpai, fro about that…

”That's alright, how about we give it a try-out?Ya' don't have to overthink it, let's just take it slowly, 'kay?”

This guy was the sa Tanaka-kun at the sports festivalI also don't know the'Let's just take it slowly'After all, I get the feeling that the e that should be taken so lightly

”I'm sorry, I just can't”

”…Tch, what the hell? You used to be such a bitch before, and now, after all this ti all fickle now, you weren't expectin' a serious confession or so were you?”

Ehh, as!?

The boy spit in the hallway, before he took off elsewhere

If you weren't going to be serious about it, then why even bother asking h, and returned to my class, while the kids in class were all restlessly awaiting me

”So, What did he say? It was a confession after all, wasn't it?

”You're a confessed to all the time since the sports festival How many does this one make it?”

At break tiossip Previously, it was the case that I had to accept only being able watch these circles froreet and even join in have increased greatly

”Somehow I feel bad for you”

”E~, being confessed to is fine Might even find soo out with”

”That's a bit…”

”Dummy~ Since shi+nozuka-san likes Ichinose-senpai, she doesn't have any reason to go out with anyone else, right~”

I'm a bit ashamed to say that the rumor that I like Ichinose-senpai has already spread far and wide in the school Because I have various things I have to take care of regarding next year's sports festival, I absolutely have to go to the student council's room today… I wonder what kind of face I should show to Ichinose-senpai?

”Are you still alive, Tanaka?”

”… …Even without my memories, I still love Ichinose senpai”

”My eyes are dead”

”Ahー… … Hang in there for noill be rooting for you (-ze)”

Sudo-sensei entered a very noisy classrooet attention

”We would be entering test week from thursday this week Club activities are suspended, it also includes people working as a part-time worker at a part-time job”

At that moment, everyone in made a voice of disappointment

”Aa~, it is already test ti at all”

”Even without practice, I'll never do so like studyin'”

”I heard that the scope of the English subject would be wider this time”

”English is soe, I think”

Everyone see tests, I' for the tests, I wonder how everybody will study for the tests?

”How does everyone study usually?”

”Study for a test? Well, for example you would nor to be on the scope of the test”

”After that you would buy textbooks”

”I wonder if I can copy notes from a smart person”

I see Usually, the key is taking notes on your notebook while in class As I opened my notebook and reviewed it,

”Would you all like to study after school next time?”

My ears twitched I wonder if I am included in that everyone I hope that I am included

”That actually sounds good! Tanaka-kun would coht?”

”E……aah, un”

Recently Tanaka-kun does not have y Even if I asked for a reason, he would only reply with a vague answer Ah?

”Its decided then Let's study immediately after classes on Thursday Are you fine on that day shi+nozuka-san?”

”Eh! Yes, Yes, It's ok”

Alright I unexpectedly uts pose in my mind

Everybody seeroup and so on It roup I want to teach as well, not just be taught throughout

Then it was after school Uuu… I will see Ichinose-senpai I want to

I tottered withthe stairs, ahead I saw Mikoshi+ba-kun's back

”Mikoshi+ba-kun”

”H to the student council room now?”

”That's right If you would like, do youthese 2)

I understand alking side by side with Mikoshi+ba-kun, he is tall My height is around his shoulder's height I do not kno many centih

Which re to ask Mikoshi+ba-kun

”When Mikoshi+ba-kun was a freshman, were you on the same class as me?”

”Aah”

”What kind of child was I when I was a freshman?”

Immediately, Mikoshi+ba-kun's foot stopped I felt a sense of tension in the eyes that is looking down at me

”Why, do you wanna hear about that?”

”I want to knohat kind of person I was before And, there was also children who toldthe Sports Festival I also want to know about those people”

”Sports festival……the 4 person group huh”

Eh Soinally Mikoshi+ba-kun's voice is low, but it went even lower It's very cool and throbbing, I wonder why…… cold sweat ran through my back

”She did not have a relationshi+p to which she can call a friend”

”Eh?”

His brorinkled up, his facial expression darkenedIt feels pained, and yet feels sad as well

”Do you really want to know? You would not be troubled if you did not know particularly, if it is the you right now”

From the expression of Mikoshi+ba-kun, I feel that he does not have good things to say about my past It certainly is fun everyday, I would not be troubled by it even if I did not know You can build relationshi+ps with people However…

”I want to know”

”… …I see”

He sighed deeply, now that his bangs are not in the way, the shadow on his expression lifted,

”Because we are already close, let's talk after the work at the student council”

”Thank you very much!”

”Subsequently I got hungry, I want to eat a gyudon” (TLN: Gyudon/Beef Bowl: )

”Gyudon!? With pleasure!”

More broth please

The senpais have already gathered in the student council room Uu, it is hard to look at the face of Ichinose-senpai

”Yo popular girl How does it feel to be popular?”

”Keisuke”

Sakaki-senpai is laughing happily while fanning a fan, Ichinose-senpai looked at me My heart cannot calm down

”Good work I would like you to tell me if there is a plan for improvement next year There are questionnaires here written with the requests and complaints of the students”

Huh, the reaction is different froht that there would be more troubled faces, but it feels like it did not bother theh I am relieved that it did not become aard, I am somewhat lonely

”Eto, 『I wanted to be able to do a handshakeand memorial shots with Ichinose-senpai Next year I would like it to be with Mikoshi+ba-senpai』…… Eeto, how's that Mikoshi+ba-kun”
