Chapter 528 – Passing Summer #3
“I can see it over there.”
Miyuki’s words after spotting people with pink hair and navy blue hair standing side by side in the distance.
When I followed her finger, Chinami and Lenka were waiting for me at the agreed upon location.
I glanced at Miyuki, who was clearing her throat as if trying to steady her voice, then drove up to the two of them and unlocked her.
Then, like twins, the two people flinched at the same time, looked at each other, and opened the backseat door.
“Hello, junior Hanazawa.”
Chinami’s refreshing greeting.
Miyuki responded with a bright smile.
“Hello, senior. “Hello, Inoo-senpai too.”
Miyuki turns her body in her passenger seat and bows her head.
After receiving her polite greeting, Lenka gave me a wide smile that she had never seen before and shook her hand.
“Hello.”
How could Lenka have such a gorgeous voice?
I feel sad somehow. I will have to soothe this disturbed mind by severely whipping the slave.
Forcing people to show that smile to me seems kind of creepy.
“W-what are you looking at with those eyes?”
Lenka’s words when she noticed my suspicious eyes looking at her.
Instead of answering with a shrug of her shoulders, I found Chinami taking out an airtight container filled with peaches and quickly looked in front of her.
I don’t want to eat peaches in the morning.
You have to eat all day later, but for now, you can enjoy the freedom not to eat.
I started the car before Chinami handed me the peaches, and headed to Hiyori’s house, feeling fortunate to see the three of them talking in a friendly atmosphere.
“It’s over there.”
And I was taken aback when Miyuki spoke in a somewhat brusque voice, slightly different from when she found Lenka and Chinami.
Even though I gave permission, I guess I can’t help but feel uncomfortable.
No, it’s not that I’m annoyed, I think I just want to complain.
Since Miyuki and Hiyori often bicker, it feels like she wants me to take their side.
When she pulled up next to Hiyori, she came to her passenger side, slapped her forehead, and opened her backseat door.
Then, looking at Lenka and Chinami who had taken her place, she gave her characteristic frivolous greeting.
“Hi.”
Then Lenka and Chinami flinched and looked embarrassed.
On the other hand, Miyuki was just thinking about it, because she knew that even though Hiyori’s tone seemed informal at first glance, she was actually happy.
“Oh, hello. Asahina junior. Would you like some peaches?”
For Chinami, peaches can be used for social purposes.
If you see him holding out a plastic fork with a piece of peach stuck in it.
Of course, if you’re going to eat it, you can use it for that purpose.
“Oh, are you giving it to me?”
A lively tone of voice that is the complete opposite of the usually calm Chinami.
Chinami, who had been blinking her eyes as if she couldn’t adapt to this, quickly shook her head.
“Yes? Four…”
“I will eat well.”
A faint smile appeared on Chinami’s lips as she suddenly took the peach into her mouth and chewed it thoroughly.
Lenka, who had no conflict with Hiyori, did not seem to have any objection to Hiyori, who was getting along well with her best friend.
“Hello.”
Hiyori stuck her head between the driver’s seat and the passenger seat and looked directly at Miyuki and said hello.
I guess I really want to get a response.
“Okay.”
Miyuki, who recognized Hiyori’s feelings, will not say goodbye even if she dies soon.
I’ll just wave my hand… It’s a very childish thing to do.
“Yes.”
It’s funny that Hiyori doesn’t seem to care, as if she doesn’t want to lose.
Didn’t you both feel like you were violated by me?
We need to strengthen our friendship among those who share the same disease. Is this useful?
Let’s see if I can do that when I get hit like I did then.
“Can I have one more peach? “It’s so delicious…”
“Oh, of course. Here…”
Chinami shyly holds out a whole peach, and Hiyori takes a picture of the most delicious-looking piece without paying attention to what others think.
Finally, Lenka is lost in her thoughts as if trying to figure out what happened between Miyuki and Hiyori…
I think this is a great harmony.
At least it was much better than I expected.
**
When we arrived at the academy, the surroundings became noisy.
When I see students wearing identical uniforms on the sidewalk, students getting off at a nearby bus stop in a pile and walking down the street laughing like something out of a youth comedy, I feel somewhat at peace.
Maybe I’m just academically inclined.
If I say something like this, Miyuki will laugh and laugh at me.
Now that I think about it, Miyuki always goes to the academy early and guards the main gate on the first day of school, but not today.
I didn’t have time to ask, but I guess he asked someone else in the student council to protect him.
As I pulled into the parking lot, I glanced at the three people in the backseat, starting with Miyuki, through the rearview mirror.
And I was the first to open the door and get out of the car.
Two students with third-year name tags, two second-year students, and one first-year student.
Was it surprising how rare combinations appeared in one vehicle?
Or was it because the people who got off were four women and one man?
As soon as I locked the car door, the attention around the parking lot was drawn to this area and then quickly disappeared.
“Oh what…”
Lenka felt those gazes and murmured annoyances.
It was fortunate that there weren’t many people. If there were more people, I think I would have hid in a rathole somewhere.
“Ooh, can we go first?”
In response to Lenka’s question as she took her chinami, which was carrying her bag in front and an empty airtight container inside, I nodded her head willingly.
“Sure.”
“Okay. I’ll go. It was nice to meet you.”
After greeting Miyuki and Hiyori, Lenka walks away with Chinami in tow, looking like a mother taking care of her daughter.
If it hadn’t been for the uniform, I might have rushed over and hit him right away.
“I’ll go too…”
Even before getting out of the car, I can feel Hiyori’s tension, which had been taking the lead in talking, has suddenly died.
I don’t think the reason was because I stayed alone with Miyuki, and Hiyori probably felt a little burdened by people’s attention.
I think both Lenka and Hiyori felt prickly because they knew what kind of relationship I had with everyone in the car.
“Attend class diligently.”
“Oh, why are you nagging me…!”
Tuk.
As she waved her arm over Hiyori’s grumpy hair, her stomach was slightly bent, causing the weed-like thing to droop down.
It’s so amazing every time I see it that I want to touch it every time.
“Shall we go to the building together?”
“I don’t like it. “I’m going to meet Miho.”
“Did you promise?”
“Yes. We agreed to meet.”
“I get it. Say hello.”
“Yes. Good work.”
Hiyori, waving her hand roughly above her head, also walked away…
Miyuki, who was looking at her back, poked her in the waist.
“Are you also close with a girl named Miho?”
Looking at Miyuki’s reaction, it seems like she won’t be able to add more heroines.
Of course, I had no intention of doing so.
I don’t know if it’s a bread girl, a vice class president, or a school nurse.
“We’re not close, just acquaintances.”
“Really?”
“Yes. Shall we go?”
“Yes.”
“Do I have to stop by the student council?”
“Today is okay. “I’ve already done everything.”
“Good job. How was it in the car?”
“What do you mean, how was it?”
“Literally.”
“I just… I think it was okay. I liked how friendly everyone was. Except one person.”
“Hiyori?”
“Yes.”
“How long are you going to bicker?”
“What kind of children are we? Fighting?”
“That’s exactly what you’re doing.”
“No?”
“Yes, yes.”
I arrived at the classroom after having a somewhat sharp conversation with Miyuki, and sighed as the familiar, but now tiresome scent entered my nostrils.
I achieved my goal, but it doesn’t make sense that I have to stay like this for well over a year.
After exchanging greetings with our classmates for the first time in a long time and enjoying the aftermath, we sat in the seats at the very back of the window.
And I grinned at the bread girl who was eating bread right in front of me.
“Hey.”
“Kolok.”
That cough is still the same.
Although we haven’t seen each other for only two months, I feel happy to see their faces.
“It’s been a while.”
“Cough?”
“I’ve been fine. “Is the bread delicious?”
“Kek.”
“Okay.”
In the past, I would still say a few words, but now it’s absurd that I don’t say anything.
The bread lady has a knack for making people behave strangely.
It evokes some protective instincts and a desire to bully. If you have physical relations with a bread girl, won’t you be able to hear her coughing all day?
“Stop harassing people.”
The vice-captain is still the same.
“How are you?”
“Yes.”
“That’s enough.”
“Why is it so plain?”
Mmmm. I feel like I want to fix the habits of kids who climb like this, but it’s all because of Lenka.
I answered after briefly imagining scattering seeds all over the vice squad leader’s face, including his glasses.
“You studied all through vacation, right?”
“No?”
“Then what did you do?”
“I had a part-time job.”
“Alba? What part-time job?”
“At the ice cream shop. Do you see this?”
Vice class leader raising her right arm
Maybe it’s because they scoop ice cream often, but it looks pretty sturdy and strange.
In particular, my pure white skin really stands out, making me want to apply oil there.
“You can arm wrestle with me.”
“I think I can easily win.”
“It’s scary.”
“At least change your facial expression and say something like that.”
Time passed quickly as I chatted with people I wanted to see.
As first period was approaching, the back door of the classroom opened and Tetsuya appeared.
“Hello, Tetsuya-kun.”
A greeting filled with joy from Miyuki, who was the first to discover her childhood friend.
Tetsuya, who came inside with his friend holding a portable game console, smiled broadly and waved his hand.
Of course, he didn’t even look at me. As if I had decided to completely ignore it.
By the way, when I entered the classroom, I didn’t even check to see if that guy was there or not.
To me, this means that the value of the existence of a guy named Tetsuya is not even worth thinking about.
Tetsuya should have seen us getting out of the car… It’s a shame he couldn’t do that, but it’s okay.
For me, the existence of a guy named Tetsuya is already behind me. Not thinking about it is good for your mental health.
Did you read the uncomfortable current flowing between me and Tetsuya?
An awkward smile appeared on Miyuki’s lips.
Sigh.
At the same time, Miyuki’s soft hands came up to my legs under the desk.
I burst out laughing at the soft touch that started patting her knee, took out her textbook for first period, and held out my hand to the baker.
“Give me some bread.”
“Kolok.”
“Have some milk… Ah…!”
In an arrogant manner, he ripped off the bread, which could easily be said to be the bread girl’s valuables, and as an added bonus, he openly pinched Miyuki’s leg.
Among them was Tetsuya, but I didn’t want to pay attention to him, so I decided to just do it.
The main character here has been me for a long time. There is no interest in giving extras like Tetsuya.
