As I traversed the main street leading to our school, I kept an eye out while eavesdropping on the conversation of those around .
It’s one of the ways I used to pick up useful information back then and it’s still effective to this day.
I don’t have to worry about Ichihara Jun yet. They’ve given one week to apologize. They won’t do anything to other than, perhaps observe .
Of course, the possibility that the pompous bastard would just disregard his guardian’s advice was there. However, given that I reported his behavior to Hayashi-sensei last week and she told she’d do sothing about it, he’d likely be suspended or at most, restricted by her not to ss with his juniors.
Anyway, the most prominent topic for the students was our camping trip.
A lot of them were still excited talking about everything that happened there. But as I expected, the highlight was actually the bonfire dance. I noticed 2nd-year students kept on inquiring with their 1st-year juniors. Moreover, with that particular night being the one where I took centerstage by dancing with almost every girl present there, it didn’t take long before a few of them started recognizing .
Their intense gazes began piercing all over. I had to hasten my footsteps and leave the scene behind before they could think of catching up or calling out to .
Let’s just say today’s information gathering is a failure due to a specific circumstance…
Upon arriving at our school, a cheerful Eguchi-sensei greeted which pretty much took away my disappointnt from my failed information gathering.
Before continuing to the school building, she relayed a ssage from Orimura-sensei, telling to co and see her later…
From the way Eguchi-sensei delivered it, the two of them must’ve already talked about what transpired between us and patched up things between them. Although they didn’t openly show it to , Orimura-sensei must’ve acted distant because of her guilt while Eguchi-sensei also felt a pang of jealousy knowing that sothing like that happened between us.
Our ti on the camping trip partly resolved that but there’s no way it could magically just make everything better.
Since Orimura-sensei asked her to relay her ssage, Eguchi-sensei may also be there with us later.
Well, I’m prepared not to lose in regards to what she’s planning to do. But if the sa thing happens like last ti… I doubt I can resist that… That’s hypocritical of but thinking back to that ti with Orimura-sensei, I can’t deny how much I enjoyed it – and it’s the sa for her.
Let’s see later if sothing will change.
The sa as the last ti, Sachi popped out of nowhere when I was taking my indoor shoes. Really, she’s still keeping up with her considerate way of not taking away ti from my girls.
I haven’t talked to her again after our mont in the woods but seeing her bright smile this ti, she must’ve resolved so of her issues with that friend of hers.
She approached closer after I closed my shoe locker. While leaning forward, she opened a conversation.
“What’s wrong, Onoda-kun? A bad day?”
“Huh? No. Why do you think so?”
I swiftly shook my head. Rather than a bad day… I have quite an amazing morning, no? I woke up in the embrace of Akane and Yae. I had that mont with Fuyu. Let also add Ohori-senpai reverting to her usual unruly self. And lastly, my lovely Ririka’s thoughtful concern.
Sachi blinked her eyes and then lifted her arm. I thought she was going to poke with her index finger but with her eyes focused above my eyes, she stretched that arm and traced sothing on my forehead.
“You have a line on your forehead. Here.”
A line? Am I having wrinkles on my forehead this early? Or I was just failing at keeping a neutral expression?
I don’t know.
But since she pointed that out, I also traced my forehead at the sa ti as I felt the unnoticeable tension I was putting on my face.
It’s not that I was frowning… this must’ve been because of my overthinking. I tend to furrow my brows unconsciously.
“You’re pretty observant. But don’t worry. It’s just the result of thinking about a lot of things.”
I gave that excuse but Sachi was seemingly unconvinced.
“Is that so? Okay. You said I can talk to you anyti, right? You can do the sa. I’m ready to listen.”
This girl… I guess she’s taking this angle, huh? She’s really trying to be that concerned friend who’d always take my side.
I smiled in response before nodding.
“Understood, ma’am.”
“Pfft. Stop that. If any of your girls heard you calling that, I might need to run away from them.”
“Run, huh? You don’t need to. They won’t just interrogate you because of it. Besides, they already heard . Or rather, she heard ..”
My smile curved up further as I pointed behind her. Izumi was standing there with her arms crossed with her gaze alternating between and Sachi.
I waved my hand at the girl but she just clicked her tongue.
On the other hand, Sachi almost robotically turned around before hurriedly hiding behind .
“S-senpai? You’re also Onoda-kun’s…” Acting like a scared squirrel, she almost stuttered as she addressed Izumi.
I have no idea if she’s waiting for my arrival but I’m certain she has just arrived. Otherwise, I would’ve noticed her right away.
“Also this shaless guy’s what?” Izumi’s pretty eyes narrowed into a glare, making Sachi tremble.
I guess this is how she appears to others, huh? Scary and grumpy. But man, why can’t I stop myself from admiring the way she just coolly stands there? Ah. Right. This is the effect of being madly in love with her.
Before Sachi could answer her, I stepped forward, blocking her gaze at the girl before spreading my arms open.
“Izumi, good morning.” I smilingly greeted her.
Izumi's slanted eyebrows twitched and clicked her tongue again. But a few monts later, she glanced to her left and right before taking a step forward.
With the shoe locker becoming so sort of a barrier, preventing us from being seen by everyone, Izumi crossed the distance between us in less than five seconds.
I watched her approach excitedly as I could feel my smile stretching into a comical grin. I can’t help but beco more expressive with them
However, when I thought she was going to jump in my embrace, the girl stopped just before it. Her crossed arms loosened and then reached for my shoulder.
Before I knew it, the girl already put in a headlock with my cheek firmly pressed against her soft, squishy breast.
“This shaless idiot… Where do you think we are? Save that for later…” Izumi scolded as her arm gradually tightened. However, her sweet-sounding whisper reached my ear shortly after, “Also… good morning.”
In front of us, Sachi who was just shaking behind earlier was staring down at , her hands covering her mouth.
Yeah. She’s preventing herself from laughing at my fate.
But am I unlucky? I guess not. Can I ask for ? This is already a great start to this school day.
