The school started when Golden Week dawned, but Zhou had to be confused because the classroom was bothered from the side he entered.

It is usual for vacation classes to be crowded with souvenir stories, but today's ones were filled with different intentions.

Rather than talking about what happened on vacation, it's such a busy way to talk about rumors.

When I lowered my luggage to my seat, I whispered my ears - it seemed like I was talking about midday.

"Mr. Vertebra said he was dating a cool guy the other day."

"I wonder if it could be someone who became a rumor at the beginning of this year."

"He said he wasn't dating, but I knew..."

date, Zhou makes his cheeks stick to the word.

I had some anticipation about being witnessed, but I never thought this story would make the classroom hold up.

Hissing and rumouring, they are turning their gaze towards midday.

I am not aware of it at midday, rather I am aware of it, but I am prepared for the first time with the appearance that it is through.

Although it is usual for Rin to have a clear standing to be noted, only today were many curious eyes pointed at him.

"Hey, hey, Vertebra."

One of the women with such a gaze speaks out as if she had made up her mind.

"Meanwhile, I saw Mr. Vertebra walking in a shopping mall with a guy."

"Yes, you were walking"

"Were you dating that person?

You're a brave man to hear directly from the front, and Zhou is flickering, but he just blinks repeatedly at midday.

If that looks like it, I'll deal with the usual angels.

Yes, I would have denied it clearly with an angel smile at midday.

"Right. If you think about defining a date, it's a date."

I affirmed at midday what I thought.

The definition of a date is basically that men and women meet at a certain date and time, so I'm not mistaken... they won't take it for a strict date.

Then the yellow voice goes up.

Women all the time are excited about other people's love stories. Zhou usually does it a lot too. I could see it from a distance and flow it, but as a party, it doesn't work that way.

"Mr. Vertebra, were you dating that person? Ah, first ear!

"I'm not dating, but I'm my most important person"

As the yellow voice rises, the stomach around me becomes subtly painful.

I'm not lying at midday. I'm also aware that it's important, but I'm not giving them the truth. I'm giving you a word you can interpret, no matter what.

If you do that, the story will flow that midday is in love with the man, and midday is watching them smile and thrive.

Seeing this one for a moment only, Zhou grinned not being an angel, so Zhou held his forehead with a happy and embarrassing one with a sore stomach.

Zhou accepted that the tree, who was listening to him in the same way, finally smiled at him and slapped him on the shoulder with a body where fatigue attacked him at once.

"Well, I don't think I could deny it anymore."

At the fast food store I stopped by on my way home, the tree mouths as I recall.

She said she had physical education and had lunch in the afternoon, but she was hungry, so it was a conversation while picking potatoes, but she was bitterly laughing at whether the tree remembered the morning noise.

By the way, it wasn't so calm that we could have lunch together all day. I didn't take the same seat as at midday when the question was being asked.

"Can't deny it?

I can't deny it the way I've always been, he wants to say, but I don't know why.

"No, Yuta just saw it, but you guys were friendly, and it's like walking together again with your hands on the road, anyway."

"Ugh."

"I can't deny I'm dating you even though you've been witnessed like that. Then yeah, I guess I'll just have to say."

When they said that, I couldn't deny anything.

Sure, the other day out would have looked like a date in a friendly fashion if I had seen it from scratch. They were laughing at each other holding hands and leaning in, so they must have looked like lovers from people they didn't know.

So I guess it's something I can't even handle at midday......

"I wonder if there's some kind of performance there."

"Performance?"

"An appeal to avoid men and not to be hostile to other girls? So does Yuta, but when she's hot, she's really big and small and jealous. Even that angel. If you insist that someone you like isn't in your sight other than that person, you won't be interested in being somewhat Yutaka or anything."

"... I see"

I don't really have that feeling because I'm not on the hot side, but there are still a handful of people out there who don't accept it no matter how popular it is. It's impossible for everyone to love you.

I've never seen anyone criticize the middle of the day, but I guess there are people in there who don't think it's funny.

It seems common for men and women to be isolated from the same sex if they are hot.

"Well, there 'll be another purpose, but think for yourself"

Another purpose, they said, I couldn't even imagine.

I don't think there's any other reason to give up on boys, to prevent same-sex twitching.

"Ng, Zhou Kunya"

"What the fuck?"

The tree had a frightened gaze around his neck, but once the conversation was over, he clapped his shoulders.

"You wouldn't stand out if you did, but if you did, you'd be neat enough to walk next to him without being told how. It's time to stop denying yourself."

Zhou nodded with a sinister face at the words of the tree who was somehow following Zhou's lack of confidence.

"... I know."

"Well, it's a good thing about you that you don't get on with it. But it's also a flaw. In the first place, why aren't you so sure? It's muscular."

"Whatever they say... Once upon a time, it was just a little."

"Is it okay if I ask?

"Not that I want to hide it, but I don't think I want to say it on purpose."

It's not even a matter of having a serious past or anything like that. There was no bullying.

It's just that the people I believed in denied that I was worthless, that's all.

I feel sorry to be dragging all that on, but it keeps stabbing me in the back of my chest and it still hurts from time to time.

I don't have seizures like I did at the time, but I still remember how nasty they are.

Although I stopped being so frustrated with self-loathing since I met midday, it was the same that I didn't have much confidence.

"Then I'll ask if you want to talk to me."

The tree didn't try to get in deep.

This kind of guesswork, or I'm really good at identifying lines I don't want you to step into. I guess he's the moodmaker in his class, which is why he can read the finesse.

The lightly drawn tree finally laughs as she looks around.

"Well, whatever it is, I think you should be a little more confident. You're not who you were and who you are now. You could have been born in Imechen, right?

"That's something I'd rather not do."

"Kachi, you look like you can enjoy the corner BeforeAfter. Well, fine. Before you deny Zhou can't be on your own, try to get a good look at him. You don't have enough push."

"Push, hey."

"You can have as much momentum as you want to push down."

"You're an idiot. Can you do that?"

I am confident that I will be despised at midday for such a thing.

It would have a different dimension than stroking your head or holding hands. Even at midday, I'm sensitive to those things because of my parents, so I don't even socialize with them, and if they do that to someone I trusted, they must disgust me at once.

It doesn't translate to easy skinship.

"At least hold him tight or something. Come on"

"What do you think I am..."

"Go around with no confidence, you bastard. Unconscious skinship doesn't consciously touch habits you can do, chicken."

"Grr.... how can you be so sure you're skinning"

"Hmm? I hear Chi didn't hear it from her?

(The one I hope you won't divulge that)

How far is it leaking to a thousand years old at midday? Is that why I have been given a slight gaze from time to time since I was a thousand years old?

"Men are brave. Even if you don't confess, you can do a little more skinship if you want to hold hands. Keep your distance."

"It's easy to say."

"Because it makes me want to kick my back too tight. You're so open to me, you can skimp on me unless I'm sexually harassed. Chi won't tell me, but you're stroking your head, right? Then you can hold him tight enough."

"Don't push it."

I couldn't really say that I had held him tight.

That's what I did to support the midday that was going to break, and it didn't mean anything romantic, so I don't think it's possible to hold it consciously with the feeling of liking it. Will midday forgive me in the first place?

"Why don't you ask me? I think it'll lighten you up."

"Hey... on the boulder..."

"I don't know. He's probably the type of person close enough to allow contact. Anyway, he said he stayed the night and took a bath with him, and he said he slept in a futon with him."

There was definitely a midday stay at a thousand-year-old house during Golden Week. I can't believe we were even in a bath together.

Well, I think it's a big deal that maybe a thousand years old pushed it.

"Well, all I can say about being left behind is Don Mai."

"You know... don't compare me to a guy who's a friend of the same sex"

"I don't think you can do that on a boulder, so just take it for a hug first. Let's go aggressive, huh?

"I like it because it's other HR," he muttered to the slightly groaning tree, and Zhou poured a small crunchy potato that was left in the potato box into his mouth.
