The First Question

Please explain why ”I” would be in such grief fro situation

Father announced to me with a painful expression

”He has left this et about him”

When I heard the news, I could feel a shocking pain splitting my body in half My hts Hoill end up is a mystery And my relationshi+p with him is undetermined Even as I had this idea in my mind, my emotions were still in disarray

Himeji Mizuki's Answer:

”His existence is as important as half of his body”

Teacher's comment:

Correct As it is ”as ier there, the body will experience pain as if it has lost half of it

Yoshi+ Akihisa's Answer:

”He is as important as the lower half of my body”

Teacher's comment:

Why is it only limited to your lower half?

Tsuchiya Kouta's Answer:

”Because he is the lower half of my body”

Teacher's comment:

Teacher believes this self-consciousness is not good

Two months have passed since the new se to beco is easier and therefore I arrive at school earlier than usual

”Oh? You're early today, Akihisa”

Just as my foot entered the classroom door, a classe and round eyeballs Although she used a weird dialect, anyone could easily see that her face was of absolute stunning beauty

”Morning, Hideyoshi+ It's just that I woke up earlier than normal”

The one with such an appearance is our Kinoshi+ta Hideyoshi+ He is part of our class, and is the reason why I aender when it comes to love

”Good s for to course?”

Hideyoshi+'s brilliance was shi+ning And I was able to experience Hideyoshi+'s wonderful smile

”Hahaha Perhaps so”

Treading across the tatami mats that were recently recovered fro placedtable, the differences between placing objects on a folding table and a cardboard box sincerely moved my heart

”Even though the afore everyone to stay in the sa the event to be a pleasurable one I can feel the excite in my chest”

”Oh how terrible, even if you say that your chest feels like it's swelling, your chest volume has not increased”

”No, it'd be probleer”

While taking the objects out of , I continued my usual useless banter with Hideyoshi+

”But, a five day and four night trip feels like a vacation, so I' it”

”Hm? What's this?”

The contents of the drawer that were supposed to have been confiscated by Iron Man should have been , but after detailed inspection, the empty desk drawer seemed to contain a letter; a letter that was never seen before

The recipient of the letter was me

”--OH!”

It-it-it can't be a love letter?!

”H, Akihisa?”

C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-c-calm down Yoshi+ Akihisa! If I'm found with such a letter, the students in this class will be engulfed with envy and will definitely executeup until today, it was hardly difficult to come to this conclusion What'shas happened

”What's up, Hideyoshi+? Everything goes so well” (This is in English in original context)

”This must be serious”

Oh crap! I was busted so quickly!

”Aah I must hand it to Hideyoshi+ To have so easily discovered ”

”U skills, I think your language”

I guess hi been croith the title of a future actor was not for show

”AActually it's nothing very important, can you pretend to have not noticed?”

I placed both ofHideyoshi+ If acting doesn't work, it would have to do to persuade hi sincerity

”M then”

Suspicion arose on Hideyoshi+'s face, but he ceased to ask further on, such a gentle person!

”Thank you for your help! Then au revoir!”

With extre any suspicion, I secretly slipped the letter into the school bag and made a mad dash out of the classroom

There was no problem with time, as I still had time left before class And also, I couldn't feel anyone trailing behind me It seems that I have not been discovered by my classmates

”Is it possible thathas arrived?”

Holding various happy feelings, I increaseon the staircase

”Haa, haa”

Having reached the rooftop's heavyway to the clear blue sky

”Great, there's no one around”

This gave e to break into a soliloquy

As if to avoid the strong piercing rays of the sun, I headed towards the shady cool areas of the rooftop and retrieved the letter fro

”Hm, so rote this letter?”

The letter had no nairl could it possibly be?' was the sensation that I was having at the moment, while my heart hammered noisily

After I closed my eyes to calm myself down, I slowly took the contents of the letter out But possibly due to being very nervous, this took a great deal of time

Today is the best day of all days I could feel luck pouring from every crevice of my body

With the happy rays of sunshi+ne pouring over my body

The wide clear blue sky

The gentle breeze that blew across

[I know your secret]

It was a blacke

”This can't beeee!!!!”

To

”Akihisa, what's wrong?”

Having noticed that I returned to the classroom, Hideyoshi+ spoke out in concern

”NoNothing special Ha, haha”

Mistaking a black I could not bear to say aloud With et out

”Liar We heard a strangled yell fro?”

”Oh, Mina”

Appearing behind Hideyoshi+ was the student froirl with a ponytail and eyes full of vigor

”Good ? Unless it is?”

The corner of Mina that she was about to enter battle status

”How is that possible, Mina”

”Unless you want to say you received a love letter?”

”Minahtly Everyone's reaction to 'love letter' was extre knives at me!”

My classerous bunch of individuals To have such strong killing intent against another member of the same class is simply abnormal

”Everyone, the crafting knives are too early Cool down and think it over This is Akihisa that we are talking about, he surely couldn't have received a love letter Heelse”

Minaht of the class

Although her intuition was coreatly against my pride as a h, I still have to say it!

”Yes, it is actually that I discovered a love letter in !”

THWUNK! (Was the noise of the craft knife piercing the tatami mats)

”Next time, it'll be your ears”

”My sincerest apologies”

Pride? What the hell is that? Is it edible?

”Then answer honestly, what are you hiding?”

”Well, I a”

I thought that on most TV dramas, the contents of the blackmail normally should not be revealed to a 3rd party And for my own interests, I wish to li Smarten up Yoshi+ Akihisa, what can you do?!

”Uhm”

At this point, time slowed down to a crawl

Under the extenuating circumstances, it is standard for the mind to recall past experiences to escape the current problem

”'Uhm' what?”

At this point, I reached the height of recalling yesterday's TV shows from memory

”Oh, it's the advertisement letter from a competition swimsuit club”

And this is the final result of es to make? I started to worry about my sanity

”R-Really? Akihisa?”

Obviously it's a lie

But, if I were to deny it, ould end up going back to square one for ”What are you hiding?” And this ti up a better excuse

”Obviously it's true!”

In order to not arouse suspicion, I announced the statement in a firm voice

”Hmm But it seems you don't want to throw it away So you wish to join them?”

”So like that! I've had an interest since soo!”

Not good! I'm at the point of no return!

”Oh, oh, that's the first time I've ever heard of that”

Yes, it's also the first time that I've ever heard of that also

”But then, what piques your interest more? Normal swimsuits or competition type swimsuits?”

So troublesolue clue what co to remeram

”Th-That is”

”Yes?”

Come on! Recall quickly as your first iht, Yoshi+ Akihisa!
