Chapter 125: Summer Vacation arrives (1/2)
“HYAAHHAAA!! OUR SUMMER VACATION IS FINALLY HERE!”
“Why are you so agitated?”
It was midway through July, and after the closing ceremony and the homeroom briefing period, the students were finally liberated, happily talking about their summer plans.
Itsuki got excited the moment homeroom ended, and Amane was just thinking that it was too hot out there.
“Well, isn’t this obvious? It’s heaven after the hell that’s class time…onward to paradise…!”
“That’s just because you don’t like to study. I don’t hate it.”
“Shut up you top scorer. You get more time to flirt with Shiina-san, Amane.”
“Flirting…say, it’s not like we spend all day doing that.”
They probably spent more time doing their own things, rather than being together.
They often studied together and split the chores while spending time at the same place, and did not simply flirt away.
Mahiru obviously would keep studying, but she did exercise and take care of her body for the sake of her health and beauty. Amane too went running with her as exercise, but it would be a fallacy to assume they were always together.
“…I’ll be blunt, you two think it’s too difficult to consciously flirt with each other, but you’ve been doing that without realizing it.”
“How so?”
“Well, I guess you two will look at each other, smile, lock arms, hold hands, and so on.”
Amane could not deny that.
He did not really embrace Mahiru, but such little skinship was something they did every day.
The standards of flirting was hard to define. Amane did not think it was flirting, but it might seem so to the common folk.
“Look, even I’m getting hot just seeing you two flirt around. Right Yuuta?”
“Ahaha, yeah. I’m embarrassed to see it too.”
“You too Kadowaki…?”
“But thanks to this, fewer people are trying to stop you two. I don’t think this is a bad thing.”
It was true that there were not many boys who would harass Amane or argue, or even try to snatch Mahiru, as he had expected.
The most likely reason was because Mahiru was clearly showing her fondness of Amane. She did not care about anyone else, and it seemed they had given up.
Despite that, Amane was mentally prepared to hear some grumbles or arguments. For some reason however, his classmates appeared to be watching over them, giving a protective vibe. Truth be told, Amane was nonplussed.
“But seriously, it’s because of Shiina-san’s pressure that you didn’t get anything.”
“Pressure?”
“More like, she’s fending them off? What else could they do after seeing Shiina-san like that during the sports festival? If anything happened to you, she’ll be furious.”
“Furious huh…I can’t imagine that.”
“I can’t imagine that either, but she definitely will be. Looks aside, the teachers really trust her. It’ll be really scary to be her enemy.”
It’s really scary to make such a kind person angry. He quipped, and Amane silently agreed.
She’s probably the type I can’t afford to anger.
Amane did say he could not imagine Mahiru getting angry.
