Looking at the pink envelope placed in the shoe cabinet, Izumi Toru raised his eyebrows.
I haven’t seen it since last year’s school festival.
I still miss it a bit...
In the classroom, Kyoko Shiratori was lying on the table and sighing.
"Shiratori-san, good morning."
Hearing Izumi Toru's voice, Shiratori Kyoko raised her head and responded feebly, "Ah, Izumi-san, good morning..."
Then she leaned back on the table again.
He looked very disappointed.
After hanging his schoolbag on the side of the table, Izumi Toru turned his head and asked, "What happened?"
"I came very early today."
After saying that, the girl sighed heavily.
"Very early?" Izumi Toru thought for a while and suddenly thought of the scene where he met her in the tram carriage yesterday and she mistakenly thought she was late.
Although he expressed doubts about "Can people really make the same mistake two days apart?", he still asked tentatively: "Could it be that you... misremembered the alarm time again?"
Bar?"
"That's it..."
"Pfft, cough, cough!"
The uncontrollable laughter was covered up by a light cough.
Shiratori Kyoko raised her head, pouted, and gave him a slightly dissatisfied look.
"Why are you still laughing? It's really..."
"Ah, I'm sorry! I'm sorry! As compensation, I'll give you this!" He took out a lollipop from his pocket and handed it to her. "I heard that sugar can promote the secretion of dopamine in the brain, which makes people feel happy.
Sense. Do you want to give it a try?"
Izumi Toru bought this when he passed by a convenience store to relieve the pain of eating a secret breakfast with a super bitter taste.
"Eh? Is that okay?"
"If you don't want it, I'll eat it myself."
"No!" Kyoko Shiratori quickly snatched the lollipop from his hand.
To be on the safe side, the girl opened the wrapping paper, stuffed it into her mouth and licked it. Finally, she took it out and said proudly: "What should I do? I licked it. Hey, do you still eat it?"
Izumi Toru asked with a strange expression: "Are you sure?"
"Of course I...Eh?!"
The girl who reacted turned red and lowered her head silently.
After stuffing the lollipop into her mouth, she never mentioned the topic again.
As if nothing happened, Izumi Toru asked: "How is it? Did the sugar wipe away the disappointment?"
"...Hmm." Shiratori Kyoko responded softly.
Although it was completely wiped out.
But... it's not because of happiness, but because of shame and shame...
"That's good." After saying that, Izumi Toru took out the books and envelopes for class from his schoolbag and placed them on the table.
Before he opened it, he suddenly thought of something, so he turned around and shouted: "Shiratori-san."
"What?"
"Your hair looks better today than yesterday."
After saying this, Izumi Toru turned around and spread out the letter.
Subconsciously, Shiratori Kyoko touched her supple ponytail.
What? I noticed it.
Inexplicably, my cheeks felt a little hot.
[Today, 13 o'clock at noon, Oshima Sakura on the west side. Please be sure to come here, thank you very much.
Signed: Ayumi Mano]
"Zhenye..."
What is the name of Narumi's director? Mano Shita.
Izumi Tetsu, who guessed the identity of the letter writer, frowned.
What's happening here?
He took out his cell phone, and among the several reminder messages saying "Amakusa Mei is in a good mood", there was one message in bold font that made him very concerned.
【Amakusa Meiyi has developed a vague attachment to you.】
The time is around breakfast time.
Is it just eating the super salty food to make it taste delicious? It’s not a big deal, right?
"What an idiot."
After muttering something, Izumi Toru opened the chat interface with Amakusa Narumi.
Should I inform him about receiving the envelope?
After hesitating for a while, he gave up.
Please clarify the situation first, otherwise it will be bad if you make a mistake.
Moreover, given Narumi's personality, he would probably just let me handle it myself.
Really.
It’s really hard to raise an awkward child...
Huh? Wait!
What's this old fatherly feeling about?
Just when Izumi Toru was sighing with emotion, "He treats me as a friend, but I treat him as my son," the school bell rang.
Before waiting for two seconds, Bai Shijing walked in holding the lesson plan.
Her long hair, which usually hangs down her head, was tied up today.
It looks a little more attractive.
With such thoughts passing through his mind, Izumi Toru opened the textbook.
"If you say that missing someone, it's like dying and being reborn again, more than a thousand times. This is from the "Man'yoshu"..."
The Chinese language teacher's voice, like the chirping of a lark, lingered in his ears, but Izumi Tetsu's thoughts began to wander.
If all subjects were taught by Mr. Shiraishi, wouldn't it be a lot less boring to attend class every day?
Wait! What if it’s a physical education class?
Well……
Except for gym class!
As if she sensed some malice, Bai Shijing subconsciously glanced in the direction of Izumi Toru, just in time to see the corners of his mouth rising.
He was distracted!
"Izumi!"
"exist!"
"Please help me analyze the poem just now."
Izumi Toru sighed.
Here we go again, getting caught every time I wander away...
"The haiku (pai) sentence just now is a relatively typical love poem in "Man's Collection". Strong lovesickness and love appear repeatedly in short and straightforward sentences. If you don't see it for one day, it will be like three autumns, so that if you don't see it, it will be like death.
It's like being dead, and then immediately comes back to life after seeing it. This is repeated a thousand times..."
Looking at Izumi Tetsu who could still speak like a standard answer even if he was distracted, Bai Shijing could only give him a fierce look and motioned for him to sit down.
There will come a day when you will not be able to answer!
When the time comes, see how I deal with you.
Even though he had clearly answered, he still received a threatening look, and Izumi Toru blinked innocently.
You can’t answer wrong on purpose...
After class, Izumi Tetsu was just about to take a nap when a girl poked him in the back with the end of a pen.
"Izumi-san, Izumi-san."
"What's up?"
"Here, I'll give it back to you!" Shiratori Kyoko handed the money she prepared in the morning to Izumi Tetsu.
"Yes." Izumi Toru took it, folded it and put it in his pocket. Before he could go to sleep, his phone started to vibrate.
【Daily life of a confused girl:3/100】
Looking at the mission that lit up abnormally and the coins in his hand, he had a vague suspicion.
"Shiratori-san."
"Hmm. What's wrong?"
"Let me ask, you should have money to buy lunch for yourself, right?"
"Of course I..."
Before she finished speaking, Shiratori Kyoko's expression suddenly changed.
Knew it.
Izumi Toru silently put the money back, then turned his head, not looking at the girl who lowered her head in shame.
After a long time, Kyoko Shiratori's weak and unconfident voice came from behind.
"Ming, tomorrow... I, I will definitely pay it off... right?"
You don’t even believe this!
However, it’s not bad to have such a confused beautiful girl provide joy every day.
"Then I'm looking forward to it."
Hearing the teasing in Izumi Toru's words, the girl bit her lip.
