Chapter 30
I put on my school uniform for the first time in a while.
I put on the ribbon and checked in front of the mirror to see if there was anything wrong.
Walking to school for the first time in a month, I soon noticed people dressed in the same uniforms, and I was brought back to reality that the summer vacation was over.
It's not that I don't like school, but I enjoyed summer vacation too much. Without the constraints of school, I could wake up at any time I wanted, live my life the way I wanted, and see Toraga anytime I wanted.
But in school, even if I could see Toraga, I would not be able to talk to him. However, I couldn't stop myself from going to school, so I forced myself to move my legs.
I am sure that once I go to school today, going to school will become a part of my daily routine, so it will not be so much of a chore. On this first day of school after the vacations, I just feel dragged down by the holidays.
If I go to school, I can see Toramasa in his school uniform from a distance. I will be able to see everyone. With that feeling in my heart, I clutched my bag and looked straight ahead to see the school from a distance.
When I entered the crowded classroom, I caught sight of my friends and said, “Long time no see! I said and put my bag on my desk.
What did you do during summer vacation? Did you finish your homework? After exchanging a few casual conversations, I left my friends and went to the balcony of the classroom to look for Toramasa.
This had become a daily routine for me since before the summer break began, and it had become a habit of my morning routine.
I looked for the tall man at the front gate where I could see many students.
It was rare that I could find him, but when I did, I was very happy and I liked it.
I was thinking that Ichika would probably arrive just in time to be late for the first day of school, so I leaned my elbows on the balcony fence and watched the waves of people with my cheekbones.
It must not have been that long. Suddenly, one of my friends who I had just been talking to spoke to me, and I turned my face to her.
Hanamiya-san wants to see you.
At these words, I hurriedly shifted my gaze to the classroom door.
There, of course, was Hanamiya-san, dressed in her school uniform, smiling at me and waving her hand.
I left the balcony and ran to Hanamiya-san. I jumped into her chest without hesitation.
I jumped into her arms and jumped into her chest.
It's the first time we're talking at school, isn't it?”
I'm feeling a little nervous.
I was so excited to see Hanamiya-san in her school uniform again, and we talked.
In a previous life, you moved this cute girl around and attacked her. Great, I want to say it again and again. The heroine is right in front of you. She is alive.
Just as I feel that way when I look at Toramiya-san, the heroine, words start to appear in my head.
I can't help it. When I was playing the game, the heroine was not me, but I felt as if she was my second self.
As I was talking to Hanamiya-san while looking at her enraptured, Hanamiya-san blinked quickly as if she remembered something and said, “Dangerous time is running out! she said, pulling my hand out of hers and starting to walk down the hallway.
What? Where are they taking me?
Rei-chan's place!
Rei-chan's place?”
I was surprised, but Hanamiya-san took me by the hand and led me down the stairs.
That's right, Endo-senpai also goes to the same school. ……
I saw Endo-senpai at school once. The first time I saw him was when I saw him talking with Toraga. So even though I knew Endo-senpai went to the same school, it was outside of school that we became friends, so it was kind of strange to see him at school.
Yes, Endo-senpai is a third-year student. Toraga is also a third-year student.
I know I'm going to see Endo-senpai, but the thought of possibly seeing Toramasa makes my heart suddenly begin to assert its presence.
I quickly finish descending the stairs to the first floor.
At the top of the stairs, to the left, I see the third-year students' classrooms and hear the voices of many third-year seniors.
I had never been to a senior's classroom before, and the sight of a third-year senior, whose name I did not even know, scared me a little, so I walked behind Hanamiya-san's back.
Walking down the corridor full of people, I followed Hanamiya-san and stopped at the second classroom from the front.
As I watched from behind as Hanamiya-san appeared in the classroom, I heard “Mashiro! I heard Endo-senpai's voice calling Hanamiya-san from inside the classroom, loud enough to be easily recognized even in a noisy classroom.
Then, Hanamiya-san turned to me and beckoned me with a smirk on her face.
I thought, “Hmm? I looked into the classroom and saw several seniors, but when I caught sight of Endo-senpai coming toward me, a smile naturally broke out on my face.
Maririn, it's the first time we've met at school~~! Oh my god, Maririn really exists at school.
Rei-chan, it's the first time I've seen you. She was there!
I've never seen you at school before, so I was worried if you were there.
The first time I saw Endo with golden hair and flashy makeup, I was scared of her, but now I don't think so at all.
I had enough room in my mind to think about something completely unrelated, and the next moment, I looked inside the classroom.
Seeing me like that, Hanamiya-san and Endo-senpai laughed aloud, saying, “You finally noticed?
I put my hand over my heart, which was making a bak-bak sound, and whispered, “That's cool …….” I opened my mouth and took a deep breath.
The most important thing to remember is that the best way to get the most out of your car is to make sure that it is a good one. The actual “I'm not sure how much I'm going to be able to do with it, but I'm sure I'm going to be able to do with it.
No, I was certainly hoping to meet him, but ……. Why didn't I notice it? You should have known. …… But I didn't expect to see you in the classroom. …… I was muttering to myself in my brain, when Endo Senpai said, “I wanted to see that reaction from Marilyn~!” I was talking to myself.
I caught a glimpse of someone. It was my favorite person in the world, Toramasa, whom I rarely see at school.
I can't tell you the shock I felt the moment I noticed Toramasa sitting in the very back seat by the window, holding his cell phone in his hand and looking at me with a surprised expression. ……
I never thought I would see him again!
I worked so hard to find him every day, but once I got to know Hanamiya-san and the others, I didn't realize how easy it was to see Toramasa at school. ……
It's great …… to have a heroine and a gal-patterned mob friend …….
Hah, and by the way, Toraga in uniform is really exceptional too. I'm more used to seeing her in plain clothes than in seifuku because I don't see her at school very often, but after all, Toramasa wore seifuku in the game, so I have special feelings for seifuku apart from her plain clothes.
Shuteki ……. I only saw him for a moment, but Toramasa's image is definitely burned into my brain.
So that's where Toraga's seat is ……. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do this in the future, but I'm sure I'm going to be able to do it in the future. It's so bad that my vocabulary disappears. I love it.
I'm not sure what to say, but I'm going to say this: “I have a lot to say.
I have a lot of things I want to say, but I just want to say this: thank you. Thank you.
I'm also thankful for your reaction as expected.
Hanamiya-san and Endo-senpai said, “Yeah! They were laughing happily as they high-fived each other.
The first thing to do is to make sure that you are not looking at the other person's eyes.
I'm sure everyone around me doesn't think I'm looking at Toraga, right?
As I was watching Toramasa while making excuses in my mind and looking at Endo-senpai, I received a text message on my cell phone.
Thinking that the timing must be Toramasa, I looked at my cell phone and saw that it was indeed a text from Toramasa.
Good morning. Did you come to see Reika?
It was written in a short sentence.
The text replayed in Toraga's voice in my brain.
I read the sentence over and over again, and with my heart pounding and bothering me, I said, “Good morning! Yes, I've come to see you, Rei-chan. I am so happy to see you, Toramasa. You look so cool in your uniform. Thank you.” I replied.
I hid behind the door, holding my smirking mouth as I almost jumped, and while I was texting Toramasa, Endo-senpai and Hanamiya-san looked at my cell phone.
I hid my cell phone screen behind my back so that they could not see it, and they extended their arms to take my phone.
As I ran away from their arms, I bumped into someone with a sudden bang, and I hurriedly turned around and opened my mouth to say, “I'm sorry.
I turned around and said, “I'm sorry. It's you, Mariko. Good morning.
Saionji-senpai! Oh, good morning!
The person I bumped into was Ki-kun.
Ki-kun touched my shoulder and said with a smile, “There are a lot of people here, so be careful. Then he took his eyes off me and looked at Hanamiya-san in front of him. You look so cute today. She spoke to Hanamiya-san with a sweet smile that was different from the smile she had given me.
Hanamiya-san wrinkled her brow and removed her gaze from Ki-kun and said, “Good morning, Huangya-kun. …… She then moved away from Ki-kun a little.
I knew that something must have happened, but I couldn't figure out what it was.
Ki-kun said, “Why are you running away? Hanamiya-san turned away and tried to run away, but I caught her and hugged her from behind.
Hanamiya-san said, “Stop it! He was trying to remove Ki-kun's arms, but the force of the embrace was too strong for him to do so, and he came toward us with his arms still in place.
Ki-kun hugged Hanamiya-san while pressing his face against her head, and Hanamiya-san wrinkled her brow and said, “Help me! At first glance, Hanamiya-san seems to be uncomfortable, but I can tell immediately from her reddened cheeks that she is not uncomfortable, just embarrassed.
Is she still hiding from Ki-kun that she likes him? I was a little worried that if I saw Hanamiya-san's face like this, she would find out that I like Ki-kun. I was a little worried, but seeing the two of them in front of me, I felt it would be okay, so I smiled at Hanamiya-san and said, “Good luck.
I like Hanamiya-san who can talk with Ki-kun even at school. ……
As I was thinking such brazen thoughts while watching Hanamiya-san and Ki-kun talking together, Endo-senpai asked, “Shall I go call Toramasa?” I shook my head.
I try not to talk about it at school.”
Endo-senpai looked at me strangely and said, “That's right. Why don't you and Maririn and the others talk at school? I asked, crossing my arms.
I'm not sure why,” he said, folding his arms. I'm afraid that someone will show up at the back of the school building and say that they like Toraga. ……
Before I knew about Rei, I thought she was a gal who liked Toramasa. If they found out about my relationship with Toramasa, they would lynch me. The memory of my body trembling with fear at the thought is still fresh in my mind. Besides, I didn't know that Hanamiya-san was a reincarnated person before, so I acted so as not to disturb the heroine.
I'm sure you've heard of this before, but I'm sure you've never heard of this before.
Maririn doesn't have to worry about being summoned to the back of the school building for now.”
Heh?”
Endo-senpai suddenly said such a thing, I involuntarily forgot to blink and looked at Endo-senpai who was smiling at me.
She said, “As long as you're talking to us like this, those girls won't do anything to harm Marilyn.”
Since you're talking to Endo-senpai, ……?
I was about to ask what that meant when I remembered Ichika's words.
The most important thing to remember is that you can't go wrong with Endo. If you're a delinquent, you're even more …….
The first thing to do is to show people that you and Marilyn are good friends, so that they won't think twice about trying to get rid of her. I don't know if I should say this, but we're famous. Besides, if it's related to Toraga, there won't be anyone who would do anything about it.
I wonder if that's so. ……
I was just about to say that when I heard a cheerful voice behind my back saying, “Good morning! The first thing to do is to make sure that you have a good time.
The actual “I've heard of you” voice, I looked in that direction and there was Tanaka-senpai, the sports girl mob that Momo-kun is a fan of, smiling at us with one hand raised in the air.
She said, “Good morning, Yayo-chan! You've met Momo-chan, right? You have hair on your shoulder.”
What? Where is it?
Endo-senpai picked up a strand of hair on Tanaka-senpai's shoulder and showed it to Tanaka-senpai in front of him, saying, “Here.
I didn't notice! I didn't notice. Tanaka-senpai took out a Ziploc bag from his bag, put the hair he had received from Endo-senpai into the Ziploc bag, and put it back into his bag.
I pretended I did not see such a scene.
I saw Murasaki-sensei in the staff room just now.
Tanaka-senpai said to Endo-senpai as if she remembered him while patting her bag carefully, and Endo-senpai said, “Oh, really? I mean, you're always asking me to text you! He turned his head toward me and said, “See you later, Maririn! and ran away.
I stood there in a daze, watching Endo's blond hair swinging as he hurried down the hallway.
She waved her hand and said, “See you later, Mariko-chan!” I watched Tanaka-san enter the next classroom in a happy mood, waving her hand, and saw Hanamiya-san and Ki-kun in the hallway, still looking the same as before, and then – let's go back to the classroom. I returned to my classroom.
I was surprised to see Ichika in the classroom, who was always just in time to be late, but I went up to her and said, “Good morning.
Good morning. Where have you been?
I was in the third grade hallway.
Ichika nodded her head in agreement with my words, but then opened her mouth again.
I'm sorry it's taken me so long to tell you this, but I've decided to go out with …….
I was so sorry to hear this, but I was so sorry to hear it. I grabbed her by both shoulders and shook her back and forth violently.
I don't want you to get sick, so don't do that. I stopped shaking her and asked her for more details.
But Ichika pointed to the balcony, as if she didn't want to go inside the classroom because there were people there, so we moved to the balcony.
We moved to the balcony. I listened to Ichika's story while looking at the playground and listening to her talk about how and why they got together.
We started dating on the day of the summer festival. Ichinose-kun confessed his feelings to Ichika and they started going out.
The reason why he didn't tell me was because he felt bad about the fact that he was the only one who went out with Ichinose while I was not yet going out with Toraga.
As I listened to her talk, I couldn't resist patting the gentle but cute Ichika on the head and she clapped me on the hand.
She patted me on the head and clapped me on the hand. You are going to spend your precious high school life with Ichinose-kun.
I'm sorry about that.
Why are you apologizing? I'm so happy for you!
I smiled at Ichika and she patted my head this time.
The chime rang shortly after I accepted the hand without paying it off.
Hearing the sound, we entered the classroom with people running toward the main gate by our side.
