185 Id Like Some Peace and Quie (2/2)
”Seigo…”
”Don’t look at me; don’t talk to me.”
‘I’d like some peace and quiet.’
Seiji’s cheeks kept twitching non-stop.
Why did he see this sight again?
Why did he see this ‘girl’ that he never wanted to see again?
‘Did I jinx myself today? Did I come to the wrong school!?’
Yep, everything here was fake. Just a hallucination.
The real school and classroom were somewhere else. Yep, that was how it was.
‘I should turn around and leave now to seek the truth of the world.’
But right before he was able to take any steps, the beautiful ‘girl’ seemed to detect something as she turned around and looked in his direction.
When ‘her’ light blue eyes spied his figure, her eyes widened slightly as her red lips pursed open and smiled dazzlingly.
”Harano-senpai!” Hoshi Amami (in female clothing) called out in delight.
The students that were originally listening to him speak all turned their heads in unison and saw Seiji and his friends.
”Harano-san’s here!”
”You finally healed, did you… Magic-devouring Dragon?”
”He’s still so handsome! No, wait… he’s more handsome than before?”
”That cute young female junior knew him after all.”
”She didn’t actually come here for him, did she… Damn it…”
Seiji suddenly felt numerous gazes fall upon him, each one containing a different emotion.
The most passionate gaze among them was...
Hoshi daintily walked in front of him and smiled while looking into Seiji’s face. ”It’s great to see you again,” he chirped happily.
There was no problem with this perfectly ordinary sentence.
But the feelings contained within those words and how he said it was certain to make everyone misunderstand!
”As expected! This junior has feelings for Harano-san…!”
”When did Harano-san attract such a beautiful female student?”
”So he liked them young…”
”Hooking up with such a cute middle school girl. Damn, I'm so jealous… whoops, I meant disgusted!”
The spectating students were gossiping among themselves.
Mika was stunned by the crossdressing boy’s alluring beauty and fell into a daze.
Seiji heard the clear sounds of Chiaki doing her best to suppress her laughter and failing.
He really wanted to escape from everything right now… his current expression was one of having given up on the world.
”Senpai, what’s the matter? You don’t look so good.” Hoshi noticed that his senpai’s expression seemed somehwat abnormal and was concerned.
”Oh… it’s nothing,” Seiji responded vacantly, his eyes hollow. ”I heard that your aunt, the store owner, made you come here… Thanks for your hard work, Junior.”
”It’s nothing—I’m delighted to have a reason to come meet Senpai,” Hoshi said while smiling widely.
This caused another ruckus among the students.
‘Please stop saying such subtle words that are easily misunderstood! Please be a little bit more self-aware!'
Seiji felt incredibly drained of energy.
”As long as you’re happy... you should finish your main work here first.”
”Yep, Senpai, chat with you later!”
Hoshi daintily walked back towards the other students again.
Seiji was unable to take the stares of all the other students that didn’t know the truth of the matter. His eyes became hollow and distant as he entered a meditative state.
'Fine, I admit it—I'm just escaping from reality.'
