…………

Mr. Sudo leaned down and shut up.

Maybe he's going to wait for his lunch break to end like this.

I'm not going to let you go back to class if you don't talk, but I just want you to talk to me as much as you can during your lunch break.

It develops a little rubbish when I'm restrained even though the class is starting, and the chairman just pisses me off.

I don't care about the teachers getting mad at me, but I didn't like the chairman getting mad at me a bit.

So I want to hear it out during my lunch break.

"It's okay, it's not like I'm mad at you. I just want more information to save Hanasawa. That's why I want you to tell me."

"Ah..."

When I told him why I was trying to find out, Mr. Sudo, who was leaning over, looked up at me softly.

That's why I smile at Nico to show that I'm not willing to be angry.

I guess that would have taken my guard off.

Sudo, who had frightened eyes, had looked me straight in the eye.

He's calm in breathing, and for one thing, he doesn't seem to have a problem.

"I know it's hard to talk about. But if you're going to shut up here, Hanasawa will continue to suffer. It may sound daunting, but if you want to help your friends, I need your help."

- Koku.

Small, but she did shake her head vertically.

I know she feels guilty about Hanasawa because she looks sorry for me.

I guess I regretted not being able to do anything, even though my good friends were being abused.

That's why I chose her as my informant.

Because this kind of person makes it easier to crack a mouth.

"In the meantime, I want you to tell me everything you know about what caused Hanasawa to be abused."

I'll start by checking to see if there's anything different from what Hanasawa told me.

This is to make sure that Hanasawa can't just swallow his words and that Sudo is a child who speaks everything honestly.

If there is a different part of the story you were listening to, you have to decide if it is the difference from the person's and third party's point of view, or if one of them is lying.

- When I finished asking, apparently something was happening just as Hanasawa had told me.

There is also a line that the two of us are just keeping our backs together, but then we would be acting together.

So you can generally believe this.

And from Sudo, he could also hear the names of several main offenders for three years and students who were actively cooperating in sophomore years.

What I wanted to hear from her was this information.

"Thanks for talking to me."

I thank Sudo for his courage in revealing everything.

Perhaps talking to me here has given me a head start on the possibility that I might be targeted this time.

You can't speak to Hanasawa in your class, or you can't shelter her from bullying.

Everyone lives with their own cuteness.

There should be more overwhelming people who can't move if the danger is imminent for them.

That's why I didn't get mad at Sudo for watching bullies and pretending not to see them.

If a human being without power or power is forced to put a stop to it, it is not uncommon for a human being who has now entered that stop to be abused.

That just replaces the subject of abuse.

In the end, it won't be easy to solve anything.

If you really want to solve this, you should rely on people with power and power.

"What is Senior Aoyagi going to do now...?

"That's settled. - I'm going to remind the stupid copycats."

"Hi-!"

Answering Sudo's question, he was somehow seen with frightened eyes.

You shouldn't be using so many tough words, but she seems like an extra weak girl.

Again, it won't be possible to stop bullying in a kid like this.

So we should teach you proper means.

"Hey Sudo, are you afraid of being abused?

"It's frightening..."

"Then you know how Hanasawa feels right now, don't you?

Sudo snorts hard at my question.

Even if I'm not so frightened, I'm not blaming you...

I feel a little sorry for you watching.

"This time you pretended not to look. I know you did that because you were afraid of being abused. But then you have to ask someone for help. The abused person may not be able to ask anyone for help. I think it's my friend's job to ask for help instead."

I know you're embarrassing me, but I can't help it because there are things I can't tell you unless I tell you.

Later, how she'll take it.

"-But... even if I asked my teacher for help... he said he'd pretend he didn't know..."

"Is that about an advisor?

I reacted immediately to what Mr. Sudo had leaked as genuine words.

Maybe I can get another piece of information I wanted right here.

"Uh... the seniors said... The advisor teacher is someone who sees bullying and pretends not to see it, so he says he doesn't care what he does..."

What Sudo revealed to me.

That was another key to this bullying.

The fact that my expectations have changed to certainty makes it clear what I thought was blurry in me.

There was still something missing, but I could see for myself what I was going to do.

"Sure, sounds like Badminton Department advisors have somewhere to overlook bullying"

"Oh, you knew..."

"Well, I was hearing rumors. But then you should talk to a different teacher."

"But..."

Mr. Sudo, who speaks my language.

I know.

I'm sure you're trying to tell me the other teachers are the same, right?

Humans are easy creatures to think of worse.

If the first human sees a rejective attitude, it makes me wonder if we're together even if we change who we talk to.

Even if you know it's different, you start looking at them with wonders and colored glasses.

In Mr. Sudo's case, I guess that's the impression he kept saying in the Badminton section.

Then you can tell him it's wrong.

"Bad, I said it too far away. To put it straight, if something like this happens, I want you to count on us at the student council."

"What...?

"Teachers, I don't know what the other guys think, and I'm not interested. But we will never abandon those who have relied on us."

…………

"It may sound like just a beautiful word, but I'm serious about this. At least I can tell the chairman and I will never abandon him."

I stare straight into Sudo's eyes and say it all.

Honestly, there are parts of the board that I don't trust other than the chairman.

But only the chairman will listen to the students who have personally relied on him.

It's impossible for him to abandon his students.

"Why...? Even the teacher didn't fit in..."

I noticed you talking.

Apparently, I was mistaken.

Maybe this kid has talked to his teacher himself in the past.

And I couldn't get it to work properly.

That's why I'm unbelieving my teacher.

... Not at all, there's really no kiri from next to next.

But in her case, it doesn't seem that heavy.

There's just a hook in my heart, and I don't think there's anything wrong with it unless I poke it.

If so, it would be fortunate to talk to the chairman later and leave him to it.

To do so, I must tell her properly.

I want to know who the chairman is.

Now that I'm scaring you, I smile again and stare at Mr. Sudo.

And I opened my mouth as if I were going to have a laugh.

"There are people who are serious about being like children who want to make this school enjoyable for all their students. But strangely, I wonder if that person could really do it. That's why I'm working with him. You don't have to tell me later, you know?

If they are to be enjoyed by all, they should not send out students who have hard feelings.

If we are to make it enjoyable for all, we must not put out students who are unreasonably patient.

If they are to be enjoyed by all, they must not let out students who can be hurt by someone.

Do not let students in need out if they are to be enjoyed by all.

There are many other things, but the point is not to send out students who will be unhappy.

So if you have students to rely on, it helps, and if you have students in need, you don't overlook them.

That's all we're talking about.

But only one thing is different between me and the chairman.

That guy tries to make everyone happy, but I don't even want to get along with the bad guys.

All you have to do is reward the bad guys properly and eliminate them.

"- Senior Aoyagi is nothing like a rumor."

Sudo smiled for the first time because he had a laugh.

A nostalgic and cute smile.

If you can do this smile, I knew she wouldn't have to worry.

"Rumors, huh? Well, I know it's not a loco thing. - And more than that, it's time to go back. Don't end your lunch break."

I didn't have that much time until the prebell rang because I talked quite a bit.

"Oh, right. Mr. Aoyagi, I'm sorry I didn't do anything to say this, but thank you for your kindness."

Mr. Sudo stared straight at me again, and he kept his head down with a pepper.

The look looks strangely sunny.

"Oh, I'll take care of it. That's why I gave you time. I'll never waste it."

"Yes!"

Upon hearing my reply, Mr. Sudo left the Student Council Room well.

There was more to it than I thought, and I'll have to work hard for what I caught.

- Well.

"You're here, right, Hanasawa?

I speak to Mr. Sudo in the corridor opposite the direction he bent.

Then a little, cute girl showed up.
