The sun was about to set, and the last rays of light dyed the bookcase under the window orange.
Igarashi Mika knocked on the door of the Shucha Study Department.
Seeing the arrival of her friend, Jinguji Seihime was a little reluctant to say goodbye, but she still said goodbye to Izumi Toru.
"Izumi-kun, see you tomorrow..."
"See you tomorrow."
Igarashi Mika stepped forward, looked at the words that Izumi Tetsu had just written, and asked: "Wait until he finishes writing?"
Jinguji Kiyohime shook her head and said, "Leave it as a surprise tomorrow."
After Izumi Toru saw the two people turning around, he lowered his head and continued writing.
Suddenly, he heard Igarashi Mika calling his name.
"Izumi Tetsu."
The hand holding the pen suddenly stopped, and the white rice paper was stained with ink.
Sighing inwardly, he raised his head and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Don't forget, next, your art department... no, I should say your club and art department, will also have competitions."
Izumi Toru put down his pen.
After looking at Igarashi Mika's cold face for a while, it wasn't until she frowned that he asked, "Really?"
"Not willing? Or are you afraid of losing?" Igarashi Mika asked.
Hearing these slightly provocative words, Izumi Toru laughed instead.
"Since President Igarashi wants to see me perform, I'll let you see a gorgeous victory. Just don't fall in love with me."
"boring."
Igarashi Mika said something disgusting and pulled her friend out of the classroom.
Before leaving, Jinguji Kiyohime looked back at Izumi Toru.
Her eyes hid the last ray of sunset burning the horizon.
After the two left, Izumi Toru lowered his head and looked at the ink on the rice paper and sighed again.
Without a beautiful woman to accompany me, I have to rewrite my words, which is quite tiring both physically and mentally.
Throwing away the half-written words that could not be perfected, Izumi Toru changed the paper again.
Picking up the pen, Izumi Toru hesitated for a while and did not continue writing the love poem he originally wanted to write for Jinguji Kiyohime.
[Wearing the crown, he rode on the white horse and won after victory]
(Revelation, Chapter 6, Verses 1-2 of the New Testament: "When I saw the Lamb opening the first of the seven seals, I heard one of the four living creatures with a voice like thunder saying, You
Come. Then I looked, and behold, there was a white horse, and the man who sat on it had a bow. And a crown was given to him. Then he came out, conquering and to conquer.)
He left the words on the desk, closed the doors and windows, and left the classroom.
The entire club building was quiet.
In the corridor, only his footsteps echoed clearly, and he quickened his pace and went down the stairs.
When I reached the last step, I suddenly heard a faint sobbing sound in my ears.
He paused in his steps and the hairs all over his body stood on end.
Hiding on the stairs and quietly poking her head out, Kyoko Shiratori squatted in front of the painting department's classroom and muttered something aggrievedly.
This relieved him.
I thought there was a monster coming out during the encounter.
But why hasn’t Shiratori-san gone home yet?
And why are you squatting there?
Taking out his phone and looking at the mission [Daily Life of a Confused Girl], Izumi Toru seemed to have guessed something.
I didn't expect that what I said casually would actually become reality...
Kyoko Shiratori was squatting on the ground drawing circles, muttering: "It's all Izumi-san's fault. If he hadn't said that, he wouldn't have been locked out... Why is the door of the painting department open?
It can't be opened from the outside...What should I do...Izumi-san must have gone home by this time...No one can save me."
The sudden appearance of two extra feet in front of her stopped her words.
Looking up from the bottom, Izumi Toru was standing in front of her.
"Izumi-san!"
The girl suddenly jumped up and looked at Izumi Tetsu with bright eyes.
Izumi Toru glanced at her and asked, "Locked out by yourself?"
"Yeah! Yeah!" Shiratori Kyoko nodded desperately.
“The mobile wallet is not even there?”
"Uh-huh!"
"Can't go home?"
"Uh-huh!"
"You just said it was all my fault?"
"Huh! Huh?" The girl nodded subconsciously, but suddenly realized something was wrong.
Carefully raising her head, Izumi Toru was looking at her with half-smiling eyes, and she felt panicked.
"And, Izumi-san...you, you are a cunning companion!"
Oops!
Bite your tongue!
"Ah! Ah! It's all my fault! In order not to make more mistakes today, I'd better stay away from Shiratori-san today."
Izumi Toru put his hands in his pockets and pretended to leave.
Kyoko Shiratori grabbed his clothes.
"Don't, don't leave! I was wrong! Izumi-kun, don't leave me!"
The tearful girl looked very pitiful, but Izumi Toru finally couldn't help but laugh.
"Idiot, how could I leave you?"
She asked pitifully: "Are you really not going to leave me behind?"
"Will do."
"Eh?!"
"I'm just kidding you, I can't."
"I'll cry for you, I'll really cry." As she said that, tears welled up in Shiratori Kyoko's eyes.
Seeing that she was really about to cry, Izumi hurriedly put his hand on her head and comforted her: "Okay, stop crying. Didn't I come to save you?"
"Oh..." The girl sniffed and held back her tears.
Only then did she notice Izumi Toru's hand on her head.
Her face turned red and she reminded in a low voice: "He, Izumi-san, your hands..."
Izumi Tetsu immediately raised his hand.
"Ah, sorry."
"No, it's okay."
Shiratori Kyoko lowered her head.
Izumi Toru began to think about how to help Shiratori Kyoko solve the problem.
It's not possible to send her home directly.
After all, mobile phones are an indispensable tool in modern society. If her family cannot get through to her on the phone, they will think that she has had an accident, and they will be so worried that they cannot sleep...
"Shiratori-san."
"Um."
"Have you ever tried climbing in through a window?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Izumi Toru saw that the expression of the girl in front of him suddenly became startled, then turned red, and finally turned her head away from his sight.
His expression became weird.
No way……
Shiratori Kyoko hesitated and said: "Try... Ken, I must have tried it... Then, that... the window has been, been, locked by me... There is no way to open it from the outside... Aha, ahaha
…Haha…hahahaha…”
The girl's voice became smaller and smaller, and finally she covered her face and squatted on the ground: "Oh no, no, don't look at me like this... It's so embarrassing..."
Izumi Toru held his forehead and asked helplessly: "Most people will think of other ways to try to get in, right? Why are you squatting at the door stupidly?"
The girl covered her ears, closed her eyes and shouted: "Stop talking, stop talking! I will die to show you, it's true..."
"..." After a long silence, Izumi Tetsu said, "Your mother must be working very hard..."
Shiratori Kyoko looked at him and slowly tilted her head: "???"
Izumi Toru didn't explain to the confused girl, turned around and walked outside.
I can't bear it anymore...
He had just taken two steps when he suddenly put his hand against his lips and coughed twice.
"Pfft, cough, cough!"
The coughing was mixed with uncontrollable laughter, and Shiratori Kyoko, who was still squatting on the ground, could hear it clearly.
Her face was covered with red clouds.
Okay, so embarrassing...
However, seeing him walking further and further away, she quickly stood up and shouted: "Izumi-kun, don't leave me!"
Izumi said without even looking back: "Go climb through the window, idiot!"
"oh……"
After responding, Shiratori Kyoko quickly ran a few steps to catch up with him.
As she walked, she didn't know what she thought of and suddenly laughed.
Izumi Toru glanced at him, "Idiot, what are you so happy about?"
"Because I was just thinking whether Izumi-san would appear like every time I encountered difficulties before. In the end, he did appear. Just like a prince riding a white horse. Hey hey..."
Involuntary words suddenly came out of her mouth.
The two people's footsteps stopped at the same time.
