On the way home from school.

Shota’s head cautiously turned to the right.

Her appearance as usual.

I felt relieved for a moment.

After all, it wasn’t a big deal, right..?

I forgot about it because I was caught up in the pre-study review before the test.

After it was over, it filled my mind.

What Mr. Sasaki did to Inaba the other day.

That’s because it definitely looked more like a lover than a teacher teaching students.

From then on, my heart couldn’t calm down.

With the end of the note test, the thoughts I had put aside came back to me again.

“Huh..? Shota! Hehe. Were you secretly watching?”

“Ah, no! I just stared. I never, ever thought that way”

Inaba opened his eyes in confusion at Shota’s words and made a bewildering expression.

“Really? Hmm..even if it’s like this?”

Inaba stopped him by holding his arm and slightly lowered the hook on his chest.

Visible flesh color, both eyes dilated.

“!”

A white upper chest that is not small.

Shota’s head quickly turned to the other side as the heat welled up in his head.

“Hehehe, so Shota, what were you really thinking? It looked serious, right?”

Inaba asked with a smile, and Shota cautiously opened his mouth.

Keeping an eye on you.

“Huh? Uh.. that Inaba.. do you remember? What did Mr. Sasaki do in class last time?”

“Last class time?…What did the teacher do then..?”

He tilts his head and looks like he really doesn’t know.

I had a strong feeling that I was overreacting to her expression.

Sasaki-sensei is also a teacher, so that can’t be possible. Let’s reflect, Shota.

“No. just. I thought I was the only one calling too much. Now that the paper test is over. I don’t think I’ll call you again”

“Shota. That’s why you made that expression. You got good grades on the test. Ugh”

“What can I say about that? I felt like I received it well unintentionally…haha”

“You sound full. That’s right…”

“Ah! There’s an intersection! I’ll just go now. Shota!”

Shota waved his hand at Inaba, who was crossing the crosswalk in an instant, then got off again.

This is all because of the role that appeared in the video I watched a few days ago.

That’s where the roles of teacher and student came into play.

I really need to stop watching now. Just look at today.

There’s no way Sasaki-sensei, who doesn’t even have a presence, would do that.

Shota walked away, wiping his forehead with the handkerchief in his hand.

“I guess I should go home too. ”

＊＊＊

“I’ve been there…”

Inaba carefully closed the door and looked around.

Today is the paper test day.

I’m sure you know.

Because my mom is in personal contact with other parents.

Quiet house.

Inaba, who was cautiously heading inside, stopped the moment he opened the front door.

The image of the mother sitting motionless on the sofa.

scary. scary. scared

Save me, Shota!

After watching for a while, I was unable to overcome the pressure.

Mom’s mouth opened first, as if she heard the door opening.

“Did you go? Inaba”

“Ahaha. I’m home. Ugh…”

Inaba stopped talking as if he didn’t want to hear anything more.

A determined expression.

“Is your school life okay? Nothing special?”

“Yes. It’s okay.”

“Thank goodness. Then, just give me the test results in a note before entering the room and leave”

“!”

I came in already prepared, but as soon as I heard the test results from my mother’s mouth.

My heart pounded like a thunderbolt.

…litmus paper.

The mother, who had an awkward expression on her face and sighed as if she had guessed the situation, opened her mouth.

I feel like I can’t breathe.

“Inaba. Do you remember your promise?”

“…”

“What did you decide to do once you entered the academy?”

“…Yes”

“I won’t say anything about this. Inaba. It’s an English subject. But”

I couldn’t bear to listen to the end.

I’m out of breath. My eyes roll.

“I have an appointment, so I’ll go out, Mom”

widely-

I closed the door in an instant and kicked out the front door.

Inaba quickly ran out of the house.

My mind was filled with midterm exams.

“Test”

You have to take a good look.

That’s the promise I made with my mom when I allowed her to continue exercising.

My thoughts are becoming more and more passionate.

As I reached today’s paper test, a thought occurred to me.

I’ve definitely seen him for a long time, but today was the first time I realized that Shota is good at studying.

I thought you were a fool like me.

I received a perfect score in the surprise written test.

Does that mean you are good at studying? then.

My aimless steps headed towards the intersection again.

After running for a while, I can see the back of Shota’s head as he was heading home.

Black hair with hair sticking out here and there.

Shota’s unique hair.

Put your foot down and slowly get closer to him.

The point at which we have come close enough. I shouted.

“Shouta!”

A voice calling someone’s name.

Shota stops and turns back.

an expression of embarrassment

I see him blushing while pointing at himself with his hand.

“Your clothes?! What is that?”

“Not that. Hehehe.”

“What’s happening here all of a sudden? Did you leave something behind?”

Clothing that sticks to you as if wet with sweat.

Without paying any attention to that, he continued speaking immediately.

“Shota, can you help me study?”

“..Huh? Me, me? You?”

“Yes”

“Ha, but Inaba…well, actually I…”

Shota, who was talking, stopped mid-sentence.

I didn’t know if he was out of breath or if his eyes were focused on the clothes that were clinging to him.

Now that I see it, I understand.

Inaba’s eyes are slightly wet.

Normally, it would be right to refuse such a request.

Because I’m not good at studying.

However, since he received a perfect score on this paper test, a strange misunderstanding arose in Inaba.

I was in a good mood earlier, so I didn’t explain it to Inaba.

If I said no here, it would sound like an excuse, so I couldn’t say it.

I thought that after a few days, Inaba would realize that he was actually bad at studying.

“Please. Shota…please”

Even now, I had to tell Inaba.

He said it was a misunderstanding and put his hands together.

Then, as usual, Inaba will understand.

Then it will be okay.

As usual.

However, I could not bear the words of rejection to come out of my mouth to Inaba.

This is my first time seeing Inaba’s face with that kind of expression.

Because while we were childhood friends, we never showed that side of ourselves except when we were young.

So Shota spoke without realizing it.

Irresponsible words.

“Just trust me. Inaba. I’ll help you”

“Thank you. Shota.. really”

＊＊＊

As I’ve been going in and out of the teacher’s office these past few days, I feel like I’m going into neurosis.

Would you say that greetings come out automatically and reflexively? As a bonus, a smile.

Although Namjeong’s eye smile is not particularly valuable, it was used by other people more than I expected.

I am the homeroom teacher in a romantic comedy.

Usually in cases like this, he either looks funny like a comedy character or is extremely handsome.

It’s one of the two.

Fortunately, I am the latter.

Maybe that’s why it worked quite well for the opposite sex.

This is a place where more people live than I thought, so there are people who look below average.

In that sense, I’m the type of person who eats half of the food before going in.

First impressions are important when it comes to being liked.

Because more than half of a first impression is based on appearance.

That’s not important.

I finally discovered that there were bites on the bait I had placed.

I went into class and felt healing while watching Ayame Inaba for a while.

After finishing the morning ritual and doing something else, I heard the sound of their conversation.

It seems like Shota and Inaba are talking cautiously, but I can hear it.

Fortunately, it was confirmed that the story was progressing according to the original.

Well, if you think about it, how far have you progressed? I’d like to ask you directly, but then you’re out.

If a teacher approaches a student first, it is a burden on the student.

You also become wary.

Since he saved me on the stairs last time, I don’t think I’m very wary of Inaba.

However, Kiyoshi Shota, sitting next to him, is very jealous.

If you approach too quickly, it will make you wary.

“So, how about going to a cafe and studying this Saturday? Mr. Shota”

Ayame Inami looks strangely excited.

A pretty face with a slight smile and soft, glossy lips.

Shota nods his head with an awkward expression, as if embarrassed by Inaba’s words.

Fortunately, things are going as I expected.

It is considerably earlier than the time of the original.

The original flow was to take the ramen test and study with other friends for a while.

I guess Inaba’s expectations for Shota are high.

“What is Mr. Inaba..?”

“Teach me, teacher! So, Mr. Shota. How about it?”

I saw Shota’s eyes open at Inaba’s words just now.

It feels like a huge burden.

Shota, who looked uncomfortable as if something was bothering him, corrected Inaba’s name.

“I just like Shotaro. And if it’s Saturday, lunch is good. Is that okay?”

“Yes, yes!”

After hearing that, I went back to the teacher’s office.

I don’t like the way Shota looks right now, but I hold on.

In order for the plan to come to fruition, the relationship between the two must become deeper than it is now.

One step back to take ten steps forward

I opened the door to the teacher’s office and laid my foundation today.

“Hello. Shiroki-san”

In my eyes, I saw a female student carefully opening the door and coming in.

If she was a teacher, I would have approached her and said hello, but since she’s not a heroine, there’s no need to approach her.

As I said hello to the teachers, I had other thoughts in my head.

Is there any way to legally contact the heroine?

A legitimate way to approach and not cause suspicion or caution.

Right now I have to wait until the midterm exam anyway.

There is relatively a lot of time left.

After doing that for a while, I heard an argument and my eyes turned to that direction.

Sudden noise.

Is that the position of student dean?

“But that doesn’t work!”

“Please take a look. Mr. Shichiro. Yes?”

The student leader, Shichiro Maeda, has a very stern expression and is decisively interrupting the conversation.

It’s hard to see such a stern expression, but it’s refreshing.

His eyes naturally turned to the female student standing in front of him.

“Really just this one time. Can you please just look at it this time?”

“No, no, no. Stop going back”

Modern times, what kind of conversation is that?

They talk without subjects and objects so much that I can’t understand the flow.

When you lose interest because you think you are a bad student who simply broke the school rules.

Shichiro, the student leader, said something that touched my ears.

“The club you are in charge of has a small number of students and no teacher in charge, so there is nothing you can do”

“That play…”

My thoughts flashed at Shichiro’s words.

How to approach students without worrying about what other people think

The answer was closer than I thought.

Club teacher in charge.

If possible, it is possible to be alone with the heroine in a small room.

The protagonist will not be suspicious, and the heroine will not be wary.

The teacher in charge said he would be in the club room with the club members and said something there?

There is no such person except Shota.

At that level, you can just ignore it.

bingo

“I’ll look into it if you can fill in either one. Now go back. Because I can’t do more than this”

Shichiro turns his head with a fairly determined expression.

The face is certainly scary, but the unique low-pitched voice has the power to intimidate people.

The student who was just about to open his mouth can be seen becoming intimidated.

“Yes.”

The conversation is slowly coming to an end.

As far as I know, Shichiro, the student head, will ultimately be the responsible teacher for that department.

The reason I know this is because that is the club that Shota will be joining in the second semester.

He is a proper person who thinks of students differently than he appears.

widely

As soon as the door to the teacher’s office closed and everyone’s attention dispersed, I stood up.

I have to take that position.

no. You mean I can become territorial by joining the main character’s club first?

You can even go through a screening when you sign up.

How can I put up with this?
