The school hours passed by quickly and were fairly uneventful this day save from a few interesting encounters.
First, there’s Eguchi-sensei staring at me awkwardly because I was almost late again. In any case, it’s only ‘almost’ so I returned an apologetic smile to her before I continued to the class just to prevent the others from speculating about her favoring me once more.
Second, Shio announced that I got accepted as her Student Assistant. It didn’t create another wave of exclamations since most of my classmates already thought that it’s just a matter of time before that happened. However, Shio cashed in on that status sooner than I expected. Just like before when she punished me – she had me carry her things to her next classes – she asked me to do it again.
Due to that, I was once again turned into a spectacle for the other classes throughout the day and the title of Shiori-sensei’s pet became official.
At Class 3, the forehead girl, Misaki, flashed a relieved smile when she saw me doing fine. The girl even stood up from her seat and approached me before I left their classroom to check that I wasn’t as lonely as the other day where she brought me to their clubroom and cheered me up.
That girl is really too precious.
The thought of being a proper friend to her passed by my mind but I had no idea where to start from that. I never truly considered anyone as a friend.
In a sense, we’re somewhat alike, the girl had no other human interactions before high school while I kept almost everyone at a distance except the girls that I stole for the purpose of filling up my desire. We’re both devoid of people we could call friends.
Fortunately for Misaki, she got Itou as her first friend. That girl was surely looking out for Misaki considering no one had taken advantage of the girl’s innocence yet.
Anyway, I think I can consult my girls about that. Am I suited to be a friend to anyone?
If I asked myself, I would immediately answer no.
Apart from Misaki, there was also the volleyball girl from Rae’s class who seemed weirdly interested in me. The girl also called out to me before I left their classroom.
If I remember correctly, her name was Sachi. Last Sunday, I also noticed her giving me a meaningful look.
Well, I wouldn’t really forget about her, she’s the reason why I got into a dilemma in the girl’s shower room in the first place.
Although it was kind of a normal conversation where she mentioned the previous PE activity we both participated in, the way she looked at me was definitely full of misplaced interest.
Ah. Misplaced was probably a wrong word to use but she did seem like she knew something about me that made her that wildly interested in being my acquaintance.
From my observation, she wasn’t the type to get excited over anything. She’s more of a serious type. In fact, our conversation went on normally, talking about what happened back then. She didn’t mention anything past that PE activity.
Regardless, I just played along and acted like how I normally am.
Our conversation ended with us introducing each other as well as a simple handshake.
Katayama Sachi, a rising freshman of Volleyball Club. That’s her full name. She has a similar status as Satsuki when it comes to her club.
And because Katayama approached, Rae, who was restraining herself from being seen with me, also used that chance to interact with me in public.
Naturally, she’s curious why the popular volleyball girl of their class called out to me.
While acting as if we’re also not that close, I told her honestly what went on as well as my suspicion why that girl suddenly got interested in me.
When Rae heard that, her glasses seemingly shined like those glasses anime characters. She then confidently told me to leave that mystery to her. With her newfound confidence to hold a normal conversation with others without relying too much on her knowledge, she vowed to find out why Katayama got interested in me.
It’s convenient that she volunteered to do that and I had no reason to reject it. Furthermore, she’s like my other girls who wanted to do something for me. Knowing that it would fulfill that wish of hers, I wholeheartedly thanked her while reminding her not to overdo it…
With my acceptance, Rae vibrantly appeared more cheerful. If not for us standing by their classroom’s door, she would probably jump at me and ask for a kiss.
Third, our lunch was once again spent at the classroom together with Satsuki, Aya and… of course, the tag-along, Sakuma.
What happened last night was naturally not brought up so we talked about other things such as polishing the details for tomorrow’s Study Group.
Originally, there should only be four of us in a group. However, Kanzaki, who joined our table midway, expressed her intention to join us. In hopes to make amends for what happened yesterday.
Satsuki raised an eyebrow at that, most likely thinking that Kanzaki had an ulterior motive while Aya didn’t have any objection. Aya focused more on the fact that Kanzaki’s diligence could help us study better.
I understood Satsuki’s line of thinking. No matter how much she wanted to accept our situation, when there’s another girl who would show interest in me, she’d suspect that another rival candidate appeared. On the other hand, for Aya, even though I already corrupted her, she’s still too considerate to be of help to me.
To be fair, I had us come up with a decision. Perhaps to avoid any unnecessary issue, Satsuki accepted in the end.
As for Sakuma… his opinion didn’t matter and he didn’t even try to object. He’s already content that the restrained atmosphere between Satsuki and him was slowly loosening.
As someone who knew about my relationship with Satsuki, regardless of what happened before, he’s now being considerate not to get in our way. Furthermore, he’s hoping for more advice from me regarding his pursuit of Satsuki’s sister.
It’s certain that we will encounter her tomorrow. He’s most likely planning to ask me right there about what kind of approach he should use.
Either way, good for him.
Fourth, when we finished our lunch, I left the classroom and took a walk around the school.
It’s not because I didn’t want to spend it with one of my girls, I just thought of fully exploring the school to see where those groups that could become a problem for us were hanging out. For example, the delinquent group Fukuda and even Izumi-senpai belonged to.
Izumi-senpai was a fake member though. However, she truly hangs out with them sometimes and she appeared nearly untouchable with all those what she called ‘dogs’ doing her bidding.
Compared to when she’s dealing with me, the girl has a distinct ‘delinquent’ air around her whenever she’s with them.
From my estimate, there are more than 30 of them. Perhaps more. And as expected, there’s a clear hierarchy among them. Most girls of their group, be it the gyarus or those with dyed hairs and loose uniforms, crowded around the third years.
Naturally, I didn’t approach that group and didn’t even show myself.
I only observed them from afar.
Their hang-out spot was at the western part of the school near the Tennis Court and Soccer Field.
Anyway, after I finished exploring, I met up with Satsuki and spent the rest of the lunch break with her. Partly to compensate for that matter with Kanzaki and partly because I just wanted to spoil her today.
And now, the bell indicating the end of the 7th period rang out.
Uneventful, right?
Like yesterday, I remained in the classroom for the Cleaning Duty.
