In the classroom of Grade 1 E, there is a window seat in the back row.
The three people gathered together again...or maybe one of them was simply found by the other two.
"Kato."
"Um?"
"you are not human."
"oh."
"Absolutely a devil."
"..."
After a slight pause in the movement of his hand, Kato Yusuke raised his head, glanced at Yamaguchi Takashi, then withdrew his gaze and continued to devote himself to the novel.
The words "Metronome of Love" are written in large letters on its cover.
"What? The fried noodles and bread in the canteen are not delicious?" he asked calmly.
"of course not!"
Yamaguchi exaggeratedly explained: "You must know that this is limited to 100 pieces, and it is only sold on Fridays. It is extremely precious fried noodles bread. How can it not be delicious!?"
"The most important thing is Kato's treat." Takei on the side said while eating: "If you think about it this way, it will be even more delicious!"
"I really hope you can realize this when you say nasty things to me." Kato Yusuke couldn't help but complained, but it was of no use.
"That's not the point of the problem!"
Brother Yamaguchi beat his chest and said: "You joined the art club! The art club where Sawamura-san is! It's so enviable, you bastard——!"
"...It's just a club. Do you need to be so surprised?" Yusuke Kato turned over a page of the novel and said, "Didn't you also join the baseball club? Congratulations."
This kind of understatement and lack of true feelings of congratulations immediately aroused the sensitive nerves of the two people.
"Don't you think it's very exciting, Takei?"
"...Well, more or less."
Yamaguchi and Takei sang together.
"When we braved the scorching sun and sweated on the playground..."
"...but you are making love to a beautiful girl."
"While we were traveling through the flying dust..."
"...but you are making love to a beautiful girl."
"When our skin is tanned and our lips are chapped during training..."
"...You are making love to a beautiful girl, uh..." Takei Ichiro reacted, "Wait, is the baseball club so hard? Although it's not a good thing to say, but if possible, I want to quit the club...
!”
"Hey! I bought the equipment and now what are you talking about?"
Yamaguchi Takashi hurriedly said: "As the strongest pitcher and catcher in the future, come with me to Shine Koshien! Brother!"
"..."
These two people were hopeless. Kato Yusuke sighed silently, got up from his seat and walked out.
"Hey...where are you going, Kato?"
"bathroom."
…
He said he was going to the toilet, but in fact Kato Yusuke just wanted to find a quiet place to read a novel. After all, it was impossible to read around the two chatty people.
Considering that the weather was cloudless today, his first choice was the atrium with a large shade tree for shade.
Walk from one end of the corridor on the first floor to the other, then turn around and walk out the door. After passing through a short corridor, you can reach the patio area of the campus - that is, the atrium.
But when he just turned the corner, he saw an unexpected scene.
"Student, please study hard for me! You are talking about working part-time!" A stern rebuke came from the mouth of a prim-looking male teacher, and he moved towards the student opposite.
Faced with this pressure, the boy who looked like a student did not shy away from arguing.
"This is wrong, Teacher Yamashiro! I checked this school before taking the exam. As long as students can pass the application, they can work part-time!"
"If you say no, you can't. No matter how many times I tell you the same answer, Aki!"
The male teacher firmly objected: "As I said in the office last time, you are only in the first grade now. Even if you want to apply for a part-time job, wait until you are in the second grade!"
"Using the academic year to measure application standards is already a prejudice, Mr. Yamashiro!"
"Whatever you think, I won't agree to it anyway. No matter how much you pester me, it's useless!"
"Then I will never give up until you agree to my application, Teacher Yamashiro!"
Hearing the quarrel between the two, a thoughtful look flashed in Kato Yusuke's eyes.
An Yi? Could it be that person?
After carefully identifying the other person's back, I felt that they looked more and more alike.
After thinking about it, he couldn't help but step forward.
"Sorry to bother you," Kato Yusuke interrupted, immediately attracting their attention.
"Huh? Who are you?"
"Ka-kun Kato?"
Because he turned around, Yusuke Kato also saw the boy's appearance, and it turned out to be Aryunya.
So he winked at An Yi, then looked at the middle-aged teacher and said.
"Hello teacher, I am Kato from Class E of the first year. Although I am sorry, I think that as long as it does not violate the rules, it should be a beneficial and harmless thing for students to work part-time."
"What? Are you the helper Aki hired?" Teacher Yamashiro glared at the students in his class, "You don't think you can get me to agree by just finding someone, do you? Aki!"
It was not An Yilun who answered this question.
In fact, he was also very surprised by the appearance of Kato Yusuke and the other party's support, but before he could speak, Kato Yusuke continued to speak.
"I'm not a helper brought in by classmate An Yi. It's just by chance that I passed by here. But since the school has regulations that allow you to apply for a part-time job, why don't you agree?"
"The rules are rules, but the actual situation of the students must be taken into consideration!" Yamashiro shook his head and said: "As a student, you should focus on your studies. What should you do if your grades are affected by working part-time?"
Hearing Yamashiro's words, Kato Yusuke couldn't help but glance at An Yirunya. That look said - Are your grades very poor?
An Yilun also understood immediately, shook his head firmly to deny it, and gave an OK gesture.
Seeing this, Kato Yusuke nodded slightly, and when he was about to turn around and continue arguing with Yamashiro, a pleasant voice intervened among several people.
"Ah, good afternoon, Mr. Yamashiro, Kato-kun. You look very distressed."
The refreshing short hair that reaches both sides of the cheeks, a gentle smile on his face, and his eyes as calm as a lake make people feel calm after looking at him.
Walking forward with gentle steps was none other than Ryoko Nakano, the heroine of the Kyudo Club whom I had not seen for a long time.
"Nakano-senpai."
"Nakano-kun."
Except for An Yilun who didn't recognize the visitor, the other two people spoke at the same time.
I don't know if it was an illusion, but Kato Yusuke clearly felt that there was some change in Yamashiro's tone.
