-Shota side

Ding dong ding dong-

Ding dong ding dong-

“The last person comes to the front and collects all the test papers.”

Rustle-

Grumble-

The noise that goes off as the exam ends.

“Everyone, hands above head. If you mark it now, it’s a dot, so I know it”

Academy students put their hands on their heads in response to social studies teacher Inamkae’s stern warning.

Same goes for Shota.

Shota looked at the face of Inaba, who was sitting next to him, out of the corner of his eye.

It’s incredibly dark.

Even without looking at it, you can guess how difficult it was for the entire 75 minutes.

Inaba didn’t seem to notice, but in fact.

In fact, Shota watched Inaba throughout the exam.

The male teacher doesn’t even look at the female teacher at the table in front of him.

Thanks to that, I didn’t have to worry about it.

It might have been better not to see Inaba.

Shota thought so.

Go through the entire test paper in 5 minutes

From tilting your head while looking at the clock to the trembling of the test paper that was shaking and vibrating.

Because I was able to watch everyone.

sorry. Inaba.

The student in the back row submits his or her form to the table and takes a seat.

Let’s get all the test papers out.

Miyamoto, the female teacher, checked the number of copies and opened her mouth.

“Hmm. No problem. Thanks for your efforts. Teacher Innam”

“Oh, no. It’s nothing special hahaha. Men should do this kind of thing.”

Crack-tap-

“Big. Big. Big. Big. Big. Miyamoto-san…is there anything you do during your free time?”

Even to Shota, it really didn’t seem like a big deal.

I shook my head at the sight of Teacher Innam being happy at even a small compliment.

If you do that, you won’t be popular with women.

ah.

It’s not my place to sympathize with anyone…

“Thank you all for your hard work and let’s do well in the second period as well. Take a break”

Shota’s mouth opened as she clearly ignored him.

As the female teacher leaves with her last words, the sound of chairs being dragged echoes everywhere.

“Um, hey…Sho, get on it? Teacher”

“Inaba! How was the test?”

“Hmm? Ah..that..”

A faint voice audible to my ears.

shiver.

I feel wet.

Thanks to the female student who intervened, Shota was fortunately able to escape.

“Woah, I need to go to the bathroom! ah! It’s urgent, it’s urgent!”

Grumble-

Shota ran away.

I had no idea what to say.

Did you feel sorry for that?

What do you regret? This is just a pair.

Let’s do better next time?

Tell me what you’re good at

This guy is crazy too.

Do you need to have the basics?

Are you showing off?

“Whoo-woo”

A restroom located in a corner where no one comes.

After running for a while and looking for a place where Inaba wouldn’t come, we ended up here.

Above the third toilet stall in the men’s bathroom.

Shota sat there, hugging his knees and sighing.

Just in case, I did it anyway.

Last night, I was so excited that I said something like a past exam or something.

In the end, I wasn’t able to capture it again until the exam started.

Unless you are the person involved, you will not know that shame.

It’s so bad that I can’t stand it unless I change the subject.

I was sure I had a crush on Inaba yesterday, but… that was a huge mistake on my part.

Then, why did you buy me an eraser..? Inaba.

After Inaba passed away, Shota, who was left alone, became angry like never before in his life and went to see the author of the post.

A long comment of up to 1,000 characters.

Reply to that.

It was delivered to Shota’s pocket as he sat alone in the bathroom stall.

Tilong!

Shota took his phone out of his pocket and turned on the screen.

And the visible reply.

-It’s because I’m embarrassed.

“?!”

A short phrase.

But that explains everything.

Realization flooded Shota’s head.

The real recognizes the real.

In other words.

Jjin recognizes Jjin.

I didn’t even think about it.

A woman’s heart is difficult?!

After all, he is a love expert.

Shota’s faith in the author welled up again.

In the end, all of this is my responsibility.

Because my faith was shaken and I thought Inaba’s love was not mine after just one word.

Let’s reflect, Shota.

Inaba, who had no interest in studying, suddenly asked me to study, but I… didn’t even notice.

I couldn’t set the right mood, so I took the joke about studying as a joke and studied.

How much did Inaba laugh?

Even though I started studying like that, I didn’t come out with a single thing.

Thanks to this, I showed a bad side to Inaba.

A pretentious man who pretends to be good at studying

Inaba…you must be disappointed in me, right?

If only one out of 30 came out, I would have bought noodles.

shit. The probability is this low. Pfft.

I feel like I have fallen for someone’s cunningly designed and elaborate plan.

Because I continued to think negatively.

The wristwatch beeped.

Phew

There are less than 10 minutes left.

I have to wake up now.

Still, Inaba cares about me, so…he will forgive me.

Let’s go and apologize properly to Inaba before it’s too late.

That’s right.

A limp walk.

But as the entrance to the bathroom got closer, Shota’s steps slowed down.

of course. I would apologize, though.

Not now.

I’m not ready.

I apologize to Inaba with my mind properly organized.

A sudden encounter wasn’t in Shota’s plan.

There is no such thing.

Shouting out an excuse, Shota quietly pulled his head out of the bathroom entrance.

Stick your head out to look around.

Even though there is no way anyone would come this far.

No one is here.

I can’t hear anyone pretending to be popular.

A sense of quiet silence.

Shota was relieved and tried to get out, but his body stiffened.

Jeopuk-

The sound of footsteps!

Shocked, Shota went straight into the third toilet stall of the bathroom.

Only after I heard the sound of footsteps moving away from here again did I slowly crawl back out.

“Does it hurt a lot? I heard a groaning sound”

Shota sticks his head out and catches the back of a man turning the corner.

It feels strangely familiar.

Although only the back of his head is visible, it somehow reminds me of an incredibly handsome face.

Is the back of a handsome man’s head also handsome?

But unfortunately, I couldn’t see the face… so I couldn’t identify who Shota was.

Umm.

What brings you here?

I’m sure he’s a teacher.

Because he had an armband on his left arm indicating he was a test inspector.

It was a fluorescent color, so it was reflected in Shota’s eyes even if he was far away.

Yellow armband.

That means a first-grade teacher.

Shota’s head turned.

There are only two places that the man is believed to have just entered.

Here is the men’s restroom where Shota is now.

storage.

But I know because Shota was shivering in the bathroom.

No man came in here.

If so, only one possibility remains.

Right here.

Abandoned warehouse.

Is there any reason to come here in the middle of an exam?

I have doubts about him.

The guilt about Inaba that had been filling my mind until a moment ago is pushed aside.

Curiosity slowly arises.

The protagonist’s unique sense, a sixth sense that has not yet fully developed, is clumsy, but speaks to Shota.

I think something happened here.

Shota’s eyes slowly widened.

if…?

Crime scene?

So, did the moaning from earlier mean someone was being assaulted?

Oh, that’s ridiculous.

Shaking his head, Shota walked on tiptoe to the front of the warehouse.

I was frightened by my own assumptions.

Still, I had a sense of justice, so I put my ear to my ear, being careful not to make any sound.

“…”

I can’t hear anything.

Is there anyone inside?

I gain confidence.

Then there is nothing to be afraid of.

I grabbed the doorknob.

gulp-

Turn it slowly.

Sneaky.

Inaudibly.

Kiririk-

Just

Open!

The man from earlier didn’t lock it.

It’s like being the main character in a horror movie wondering if you’re about to discover something incredible.

Shota’s eyes burned with excitement.

A high level of concentration is demonstrated.

Sensation rushes through my fingertips and toes.

Shota decided to ‘let’s go’ and carefully pushed the open door handle inward.

Talent..this..profit-

Now, if you open it a little more, you can see the inside.

Sigh!

“Aaaa?!”

The bell ending recess rang in the hallway.

A familiar bell.

Shota’s spine stiffens.

If it was a surprise reaction just now, now it’s a reaction purely after facing the situation.

“Test..? Wow! Now, just a moment! I haven’t gone yet!”

All the stealth maneuvers from just now have been forgotten.

Shota ran away, making a meaningless fuss.

“Oh, that’s right!”

of course.

Shota, being the correct academy cadet, runs back and turns the doorknob back to its original position.

After making sure it was properly locked, I ran back.

Kiririk-

Just

The voice of someone who was paying attention to the sound of the door opening, hoping to escape, never reached Shota.

“Please…buy…give…hayat! Hehe”

Loud commotion and noise.

A sound that goes away.

“Hey…you..bastard..hey?!..uh, where are you going!”

“Where are you going? ”

At the end of the second period, Iroha was lying under the door until Sasaki, who had finished proctoring the test, found Iroha lying near the door, holding the back of her neck.

After that, Sasaki, who was alert, attached a lock to the door handle.

Shota couldn’t remember that incident until the exam period was over, but after it was over, he suddenly remembered it and came back to it again.

It is said that no one was inside except for wet sheets and puddles of water.

＊＊＊

Fortunately, Shota realized that the bell that had just rang was a spare bell and calmly entered the class.

Inaba sitting on one side.

Shota moved straight there.

What I was thinking about just before.

apologize.

A plan to end it quickly.

“Inaba. I have something to say for a moment”

“Hmm?”

Shota opened his mouth.

I didn’t see anyone around to the point where I thought it was nothing at all.

Wow special.

I practice what I think without paying attention to my surroundings.

That is exactly what happened.

Dozens of female students gathered around Inaba, the class’s sign-off.

He is a student with a special ability in physical education and has a unique friendliness.

As a result, people spontaneously gather around them and make them queen bees.

Shota broke through the center with his body.

I couldn’t help but focus my attention.

“Oh, what is it? It’s Kiyoshi-kun”

“Oh really”

Phew

“That’s important.”

“Eh…?Huh..?Shota?”

“I have something to confess, about what happened last night”

Oooh-

“Eeh?!”

“Oh. Kiyoshi?! Are you and Inaba like that?”

“No, that’s ridiculous!”

“I was wrong. That was my mistake. I tried to teach even though I didn’t know much – huh?”

A bustling sound.

As Shota continued speaking, the surrounding scenery came into view.

Dozens of pairs of eyes looking at Inaba and himself with exciting eyes.

Gradually, reality becomes apparent.

My face heats up.

Shota remembered what he had just said to Inaba.

It’s a strange thing to say if you hear it casually.

No, now that I think about it, I think it would be strange to say it again.

I spit it out without any shame.

No matter who hears this, it’s just the sound of a conversation that could be had between passionate lovers going back and forth between each other’s rooms.

That’s what all the students are doing in class.

I spoke in the presence of the main test proctor and the assistant proctors, Mr. Miyamoto and Mr. Innamkae.

Even if you don’t like it, you have to keep watching it for a year, maybe even until you graduate.

Shota confessed to his childhood friend at the beginning of the semester.

The same Assain male character teacher, based on the situation and Shota’s face, must have realized from his school days that he had no intention of doing so.

I saw him trying to approach me.

When Mr. Miyamoto quietly raised his hand, the male teacher immediately sank.

“Shhh.”

“Ah..no. I don’t think this is like that…”

“I’m not interfering with the dating business. Teacher Innam… he’s not someone who doesn’t have situations like that. Right?”

“Ahh! yes. Yes, yes, there are many cases like that. Very.”

Protect your faith!

Inaba is also unable to accept the current situation and his face can be seen heating up as if he is embarrassed.

“Eh…?Huh..?Shota?”

ah.

Someone please save me. please.
