Chapter 354 Undercurrent(1/2)
(Additional Update for Tired Heart)
On the other side, in school.
The rooftop during lunch break.
Two girls were eating lunch in a fixed position.
"Are you still going to Iwanami-san's place today? Sayu-chan."
Sayu nodded slightly and explained: "I just gave him handouts."
Masaka Yuko laughed and said, "Yes~ I know, but that's not what I'm talking about now."
"what is that?"
"I just wanted to ask, should I go with you today?"
"...Yuko, is there anything else?"
"Hmm~Should I say yes or no? After all, Iwanami-san's disappointed look makes me a little bit reluctant to bother him anymore."
"disturb……?"
"Yes~!" Yuko nodded her head repeatedly and teased: "Because——Iwanami-san, he definitely only wants to get along with Sayu-chan~"
Sayu couldn't help but blush slightly, unconsciously clenched the chopsticks in his hand, then took a piece of egg roll and put it into his mouth, chewing it as if to cover it up, and muttered something vaguely.
"What are these words...?"
"God knows, what are you talking about~?" Masaka Yuko smiled even more proudly, and her shoulders were trembling. "It's a pity that Iwanami-san is not here, otherwise I would have seen your cute expression."
"...It's almost time for class. If you keep lingering like this, you won't be able to finish lunch, right?"
"You're changing the subject again. It's time for you to face your own feelings, right? Sayu-chan."
Sayu turned a deaf ear and just ate his lunch silently. The lunch box on his lap returned to its previous small size.
Seeing her reaction, Yuko couldn't help but sigh helplessly, "Iwanami-san, you are so pitiful."
"Really, Yuko is saying this again..."
"It's all because the princess is so dishonest!"
After lunch, the two returned to the classroom from the rooftop.
Different from the usual sleepiness at this time, the class showed an abnormally lively atmosphere.
Yuzuki, Kaga, Ebina, Taniguchi...
Many students were gathered in front of a certain seat, talking about something unknown, exuding a jubilant atmosphere.
Sayu has no interest in this. Although her status in the class is completely different from before, she is still the girl who doesn't like to join in the fun.
Although Yuko Masaka has become a lot more outgoing, she will not take the initiative to get close to you after seeing the figures of Yu Yue and the others.
After returning to her seat, Yuko began to prepare things for the next class.
Take out the math textbook and exercise book from the drawer, and then take out the pencil case.
Just when she was about to check her homework again before class...
"Huh?"
The mechanical pencil in the pencil case disappeared.
Masaka Yuko frowned slightly and began to search carefully inside the pencil case, textbooks, and notebooks. She even didn't miss it in drawers and schoolbags.
However, in the end, nothing was achieved.
This made her confused, and then she turned her body back and asked the girl in the back row: "Chinatsu, have you seen my mechanical pencil?"
The other party was a girl who had a good relationship with her before, and she was also the first group of people to take the initiative to show friendship after she changed her image.
The two of them have also added each other as LINE friends and often chat together. They are considered friends second only to Sayu.
Hearing her question, the girl named Qianxia shook her head first, then turned her head slightly and asked: "I didn't see it, what's wrong?"
"No, it just disappeared suddenly."
"Eh? Have you searched carefully?"
"...Yeah, but it's nowhere."
"Could it be that you forgot to bring it today?"
"No, I don't think there's anything like that. After all, I still used it in the Chinese language class in the morning."
"That's it... I'm sorry, Yuko, I don't have any impression." Chinatsu showed an apologetic expression and analyzed, "Could it have been borrowed by someone?"
"borrow?"
"Yes~ Hasn't anyone said hello to you?"
Yuko smiled bitterly, "I don't remember such a thing."
"Then, do you need me to ask other people for you?"
"No, no need. I'll look for it later. Thank you, Chinatsu."
"No~ tell me if you have anything else."
"Hmm~"
After thanking Yuezi, she straightened her body and temporarily put the matter behind her and didn't take it to heart.
Until the school bell rang, the math teacher walked into the classroom with a lesson plan.
"Stand up and salute."
"Hello teacher."
The deputy squad leader temporarily took over the conductor's job and led the students to greet the teacher.
After going through the process, the math teacher is preparing to teach.
At this moment, the front door of the classroom suddenly opened with a loud bang.
The teacher, who thought it was a student who was late, cast a displeased look, but the next second he saw the person clearly, he turned to doubt.
"It turns out to be Mr. Shibata. What can I do?"
Mr. Shibata, who was standing at the door, nodded with a smile and said, "Sorry, there is another student here who is in a special situation. I brought him here."
"Students with special circumstances?"
"Yes, you go back to your seat first, Saito."
As he said this, he turned his body sideways and let out the boy behind him whose right hand was bandaged.
There was a slight commotion in the class.
"It's actually Saito...?"
"Didn't he get suspended from school?"
“Why can you come back??”
"That Yanbo..."
"Quiet." Teacher Shibata said in a serious tone, suppressing the commotion.
Saito, on the other hand, returned to his seat without saying a word.
See the situation.
"Teacher Shibata." The math teacher on the podium couldn't help but ask: "I remember, wasn't this student suspended from class? What on earth is this..."
"Well, I have already asked the principal for permission on this matter." Teacher Shibata explained: "Because he is currently injured and cannot participate in the basketball club's training, let's let him follow the lessons in the classroom."
"Is that so?" The math teacher nodded with understanding and said nothing more.
only……
Roon, roam, roam.
"--teacher!"
Along with the sound of the chair being dragged, a solemn voice rang out.
"Now that Saito-san can come to school, what should Iwanami-san do?"
The students who heard this had different expressions, and they all cast a prying glance at the figure.
Teacher Shibata made a serious face and said in a deep voice: "This is not something you should consider, Ogiwara-san, sit down quickly."
Sayu seemed very stubborn about this, and seemed to be sticking to the bottom line, looking straight at him with a stubbornness in his eyes.
Feeling provoked, Teacher Shibata frowned deeply, looked around the classroom, and then said angrily: "We will discuss this matter later. If you don't sit down, I will ask your family to come over."
Sayu's face turned pale instantly, and his eyes wavered violently. This unreasonable threat was completely unfair, but it was also irresistible.
The powerful party obviously knows how to use its power to suppress the voices of resistance.
Faced with this situation.
To be continued...
