Chapter v3side3.2 (1/2)

She was so happy with the nice suggestion that she forgot her embarrassment.

“I’ll hurry up, then.”

“Yeah.”

He slid his hands off her waist and released her.

Arnold stroked Rishe’s head and then turned his quiet gaze straight at the students who were looking at him.

“―― ……”

“Gasp…”

A brief scream sounded behind Rishe.

It was rare for Arnold to directly glare at the mute students. She wondered what gossip the students were talking about that stimulated his reverse scale.

However, the bell rang and Arnold said, “I’m going to sleep.” She saw him off with a “have a nice sleep” and went back to her seat.

Then, a girl, a close classmate, spoke to her impatiently.

“Hey, Rishe, what was that? Why were you with Arnold-senpai?!”

“Well, um, we have an appointment…”

Upon hearing Rishe’s reply, the color on the classmate’s face somehow changed.

“Don’t tell me, you always claim you have an appointment with someone after school…”

“…”

When she nodded gently after some contemplation, her friend squealed, and the entire classroom that had been listening in buzzed.

After finishing her after-school cleaning duty, Rishe was on her way to meet Arnold when she was caught up in a bit of a commotion.

The girls who wanted to meet Arnold came to beg her to take them with her.

However, she was now heading to a secret place, so she couldn’t take the girls with her.

Rishe had no choice but to sprint down the hallway, feigned to have run up the stairs, and jumped out the window into the courtyard.

After that, she scanned her surroundings cautiously with her guard up at all times and arrived right in front of the meeting place.

From here on out, I have to be quieter than ever.

She arrived at a library in an old school building.

This was where the school’s collection of books was gathered. Although it was called a library, it was much larger than a normal library and was filled with a vast number of books.

No one probably has ever thought that the only bookshelf at the far end is a secret door…

With that in mind, she arrived at the bookshelf she was looking for.

It was a small room with soft sunlight shining through the trees.

There were two old sofas and a lot of books piled up on the floor. The hidden room was made up of things that should have been thrown away, but they were actually cozy.

Asleep?

On the sofa by the window, Arnold was lying with his feet on the armrest and a book in his hand, asleep.

He was barely wearing the jacket earlier, but now he had it draped over his back. He was wearing a white shirt, and even his tie had been removed.

“…”

“Ah.”

She must have approached him quickly, because his eyelids immediately opened.

Sea blue eyes looked at Rishe drowsily. His gaze was quite boundless, and he stared at her in bewilderment for a couple of seconds.
