Despite being around her age, his thoughts were so malicious.
Thinking of this, Shiina Chizuru's face flushed even more. Yesterday, after she ran to the restroom, she thought she would encounter something like a ferocious beast.
But after making all the physical and psychological preparations, nothing came as expected.
Instead, after sitting on the toilet for a while, her body temperature gradually dropped.
She waited for a while, and there was nothing unusual.
Strange.
She stayed in the women's restroom almost until dark before she gradually understood…
She had been tricked!
Tricked again!!
That hateful guy!
Shiina Chizuru clenched her fists, gritted her teeth, and stomped her feet, almost wanting to tear Mr. Hayashi to shreds.
But, there was nothing she could do.
Ding-dong.
The dismissal bell rang.
"…Shiina, Shiina?"
The teacher on the podium called Shiina Chizuru several times before she reacted, "Huh?"
"Class is dismissed," Teacher Tsukino prompted.
Shiina Chizuru then realized, she stood up too quickly, her knee hitting the desk with a "dong" sound.
"Cl-class dismissed! Stand!" She performed her duties as class monitor.
Under astonished gazes, the students followed Shiina Chizuru and stood up.
After saying goodbye, the classroom immediately became noisy.
Some were discussing where to play after school, while others were still struggling with the upcoming exams.
And some were whispering,
"What's wrong with Shiina? Daydreaming in class? That's not like her…"
"People aren't gods; it's normal to daydream."
"Do you think she might be thinking about a man…"
"Nonsense, my Class Monitor Shiina is pure and unparalleled; she wouldn't think of something as dirty as feces!"
"Ah, well, you're a man yourself…"
"I think she's dating someone."
"You're right, but also possibly wrong."
Shiina Chizuru's small face was serious, unmoved by these idle whispers, as she focused on packing her school bag.
"Shiina…" Teacher Tsukino walked over and asked quietly and concernedly, "Are you feeling unwell?"
Shiina Chizuru looked up, her face flushed with a shy blush: "…No, I'm not, Teacher, you don't need to worry…"
"Hmm, although the exams are approaching, work hard when you work, and remember to rest when you rest…" Teacher Tsukino said.
Shiina Chizuru was about to nod.
"Shiina…"
A familiar yet ominous voice came from the back door of the classroom, piercing directly into Shiina Chizuru's eardrums. She trembled all over, then heard the voice pause: "…No, Chizuru, stop dawdling."
The shout made everyone's gazes align.
All turned towards the back door of the classroom.
There stood a tall boy with a backpack slung over one shoulder, lazily waving towards Shiina Chizuru: "Let's go."
"…It, it's really true?"
The first to be surprised were the students.
"Why… why? I don't agree to this marriage!"
"They're a perfect match, a talented man and a beautiful woman, why should you, a monster, object… But holy crap, this guy is handsome, how come I didn't know we had someone like this in our school?"
"Average, about half a catty each for us."
"He's eight catties of gold, and you're half a catty of scrap metal, right?"
What surprised Teacher Tsukino was that he looked at Hayato outside the classroom, then at the silent Shiina Chizuru.
"Shiina… your friend is here for you." He smiled and said, "Oh, he calls you 'Chizuru'? Your relationship…"
Teacher Tsukino's style was to get along well with his students, and besides, such things were not taboo in Japan, so he spoke in a teasing tone.
No, it's not.
Shiina Chizuru wanted to refute… but, for now, she didn't know Mr. Hayashi's purpose, and refuting might bring trouble.
So she picked up her bag noncommittally:
"Then, then I'm leaving."
"…Mm."
Teacher Tsukino looked at Hayato again with interest.
Shiina Chizuru was the best student he had ever taught, so he was somewhat concerned about her life and caught up to ask, "Which grade and class are you in, student? The final exams are coming soon, so don't just play around; you should study hard."
Hayato nodded with a smile: "Okay, Teacher Tsukino…"
Then he looked at the blackboard.
"You teach Japanese literature… that, that question is wrong."
Hayato pointed to a line of text and said.
