Having arrived at home for the first time in five days, I forgot to soak in the finish or take a bath and fell into bed.

Of course, I came home late, but I was tired both physically and mentally because of my long journey and unfamiliar environment.

The next thing I woke up was after noon the next day, filling my stomach appropriately and feeling drowsy all day.

I feel like I really didn't do anything except respond "Yes" to Rihua's message that "I will be home for a while from today."

After that, I silently pursued the task of summer vacation for a few days.

I don't have Rihua and I don't have any plans.This was our chance to get rid of it.

I felt pretty good about being with someone for a while.

Feeling my shredded spirit recovering, I finished most of the task at once.

But unfortunately, it didn't mean that I could relax for the rest of my vacation.

A very depressing schedule was approaching.

I'll meet you in the audiovisual room at 18: 00, thank you.

I received a message waiting for lunch cup noodles to be made in my room. It's from Susami.

Yes.

You must be dissatisfied.

No, that's not true.

Yes, I'll be waiting for you.

After all, Susami didn't send me anything.

I felt an unexpected sigh.

But I can't escape anymore.

Whatever the plan was, it was about the "Good luck with your school trip."

A simple gathering of school travellers and student councils, eating meals in the school classroom and dabbling.

And that's why I don't really want to go.

I've heard of such an event before, but of course I didn't intend to participate.

And then Susami said, "Yang Jasmine did her best, so come here." He didn't try to let me escape.

Indeed, it was my fault that it was pushed out.

But my position and mentality aren't strong enough for Susami to ask me to say no.

"... fuu"

With a long sigh, I look up at the ceiling.

Let's give up and get ready.

If you think you can eat free mess, it would also have advantages.

... and yet...

……

I don't think I've ever been to this gathering before...

Wrapped in strange emotions, I rinsed the cup noodles.

Besides, there are four people I know.

Is this progress, too?

Well, that's not why I'm looking forward to it.

It was just the right time for me to get dressed and leave the room.

Walk through the school gate for the first time.

Thanks to a slight delay in time, there were no other school travel committee members.

Instead, the student's voice, which seemed to be doing club activities, was heard from a distance and small.

Enter the school building and drag your heavy feet up the stairs.

As he approached the audiovisual room, a cheerful noise and light leaked into the hallway.

"Ahhh! There he is!"

I opened the back door as quietly as I could and entered the classroom, and suddenly a big voice struck me.

Naturally, the gaze of the people who had gathered earlier gathered on me at once.

I saw that the student council Nachi was good at pointing at me and had a full smile on his face.

What the hell...?

"It's about the Mob Triumph!Nanba! "

"Whoa! Whoa!"

Completely pointing at my intentions, I shouted out a disturbing voice and solidified on the spot.

What a thing he did from the first shot...!

"Using the thinness of the shadow, let me know how you feel about getting Orange-chan by running away!"

With all due respect, Nachi rushed to me.

They pull their arms and take them to the table.

Honestly, I didn't have a head at all.

And from there, it was mostly Nachi's solitary forum.

"Did you confess from Nanba?Hee! Let's do it! "

"Well, then we're calling each other by their names! Uhhh!"

"Is that why you've been with me so often?Wow, I knew it! "

In response to a stormy question, I was just nodding, half-conscious.

Every time, the whole class gets excited, "Now watch your back!Like, "Hey! Hope of the mob!" and cheers came from the wild.

After being sandbagged for a while, Nachi finally threw me into the corner of the classroom.

Then, while grinding the pizza placed on the table, he said, "Everyone's color is blurry!"He was shouting at himself.

I knew you'd be tired, but I didn't expect you to come here in five minutes...

Nanba Kun

I was so exhausted by the wall, I regained consciousness with that cool voice.

Chitose Susami, the Lord of Voices, came next to me and laughed.

"Good night, and thank you for coming."

"... I'm not tired."

Even with all the resentment I could, Susami just smiled fun.

Of the paper cups held in both hands, Susami gave me one and hit each other.

Apparently, he's going to make a toast.

The paper cup received was poured with Cola sparingly.

You're not eating?

I lost my appetite.

Oh, my God.

After I put my mouth on Coke, I looked at the room again.

Surprisingly, there was little gaze on me, and bustling people such as Nachi were making noise in the middle.

"Yang Jasmine, forgive me."

"... depending on the circumstances, it's time for the court."

"Nanba didn't want to be interrogated strangely, so we talked about it prominently at the beginning.Besides, I'm the one who let it out. "

"It's you...."

"I'm sorry, but thanks to you, everyone's interest has subsided."

Susami said with relief, looking at the room.

Indeed, it might have been better to do it all at once than to be exposed all the time.

In short, this time it's exactly what he's after.

Are there no chips or overprotections as usual?

"When Nanba told me that she would come, Yang Jasmine told me.It's all kinds of tricks, that kid. "

"I know you're the one who broke up with me."

"Fufu. Well, maybe."

Susami answered and took a bottle of lemon squash that was nearby.

Pour it into yourself and my cup and put it back in place again.

At that time, I noticed a familiar face on the other wall.

The guy with his hair on the side pony turned his face away as soon as he saw me and started talking to the girl next door.

It was Mio Sayano.

"You confessed."

Susami's voice did not contain any serious sounds.

Because of that, I also got a smooth reply.

Ah.

Happy?

"... that's a nasty question."

"Oh, yeah? Isn't that normal?"

Even so, Susami looked happy with Niyaniya.

In this case, not answering would be a splendid response.

I decided to give up and answer honestly.

For today only, I don't care anymore.

Well, I guess so.

I was definitely happy that you affirmed yourself and liked me, regardless of whether you accepted the confession or not.

Speaking of, thank you.

"It's just... that's why I felt guilty.It was like I was half deceived..... "

"Oh, but Sayano-san must have noticed the relationship with Rihua at the end.But I chose to confess, so I don't care. "

"That's... but if you knew I was dating Rika, Sayano..."

"I know how you feel, but it's common not to know if someone you like has a lover.Sayano-san is also responsible for not asking you directly. "

In Susami's words, I naturally remembered Sayano's lines back then.

"I shouldn't have misunderstood, been alarmed, and been spying on myself."

... well, that's what the rear chargers say, so I'm sure it is.

Love seems rather cruel or cynical.

"But that's for her.If you think about Rihua, if Nanba sensed Sayano-san's feelings early and stood up well, the results might have changed.Understand that and keep it alive in the future. "

"Yes... I remember the liver."

Unexpectedly, I stretched my spine to that powerful voice.

Chinata and Susami are good, and Rika's allies are very scary... no, they're reliable, yeah.

"Well, Natsume-kun will be talking to you this time, so don't say anything extra from me.And Rihua is also bad. "

"Oh oh...."

Indeed, Kyuya said the same thing.

It is very kind of Kyuya to conclude that Susami overlaps.

No, is Susami amazing? Maybe.

"... hey, Susami"

Oh, what?

Well, I wanted to ask you something.

However, I know what I want to hear, but I don't know how to listen well.

This is where my low interpersonal abilities manifest themselves.

But I can't help but mourn it now.

In this case, a straight ball is fine.

At least for now.

"What about you? Um...."

……

"... love?"

Susami did not change her expression and took a short breath.

Then she looked a little at the lemon squash in the glass and kept quiet.

It was as if you were giving me a chance to undo this question.
