But no matter how reluctant the students are, the next Monday will still come with the alarm clock.
Carrying a bucket and a mop in one hand, and with a listlessness that was unbecoming of a young man, the boy named Kamijou Touma looked out the window with tired and melancholy eyes.
He is thinking about a rather serious question.
That is whether ordinary high school students who have broken their bank cards should try to drop their lunch in a puddle when they haven't had breakfast.
This is simply a hell that the so-called three-second rule cannot save.
Kamijou-san's stomach, which was now protesting, seemed to have given the answer.
It’s really a growth that will make your lips shed tears.
"...What's the matter with that face of yours? It's like a monk who realized the truth after being hungry for a day."
Interesting.
As if she was holding a script, the girl with a hairband said in a good mood when she saw the boy with an expression completely opposite to 'what a pity'.
Leaning against the window wall in the corridor and enjoying the sunshine, the female high school student held the milk with a straw in her left hand, and grabbed the fried noodles bread that she had not yet eaten in her right hand, and gently placed it under the heart, as if she had just fallen asleep.
Xing Xing is solving the food problem.
"Um...why are you here, senior sister? Is your class's cleaning finished yet?"
Kamijou Touma asked subconsciously, focusing his attention that was so hungry that he was distracted by the person who greeted him.
Kumokawa Sera.
Kamijou is a senior who he has known since junior high school and is the representative of the mature girls in the school.
In his impression, although the other party is not a bad girl, she is also the kind of person who has very free time in school.
"General cleaning? Ah, that's what happened. It should be over by now."
"I just happen to be resting here. Even I need to relax after finishing those troublesome 'works'."
She did receive a notice in the morning that the whole school would be cleaned today, but this was obviously not something that 'Kumokawa Seria' needed to worry about.
Rather...
From the beginning, she felt that there was a gaze on the area below her head and above her abdomen.
It was a pity that when she thought that the owner of that sight was some unfortunate young man, she immediately felt relieved with regret.
After all, if that's the case, maybe there's no need to worry.
because.
"If you want to eat, just take it."
".........Guh."
Mr. Kamijou's throat moved, and he wanted to refuse.
But my body, which thought I might not even be able to eat dinner, didn't allow it.
Looking at the spiky-headed boy in front of her who almost regarded her as her savior, Kumokawa Seria put the straw to her mouth and continued the conversation.
"Speaking of which, didn't that little bee that likes to hang around you all day prepare lunch for you? Tsk, Tsk, Miss Tokiwadai made it herself."
Someone laughed calmly.
"Little bee...why do honey ants do that kind of thing? And they hang around me and so on. It's normal for friends to meet and say hello or go out to play occasionally."
Kamijou-san, who is very self-aware, couldn't help but complain, "Really, this is not a novel or manga."
A normal friend would not just meet you by chance!
After detecting the information she wanted, Kumokawa Seria shook her head inwardly with satisfaction.
Next——
"Kamijo Touma-san."
The serious female voice that interrupted the conversation between the two came from behind.
Kamijou and Kumokawa tilted their heads.
What greeted me was the unfriendly gaze of a black-haired female teacher holding a lesson plan and wearing designer glasses.
"Did you encounter any trouble here? I just saw Teacher Yueyong looking for you again."
The slender math teacher, Oyafune Sogan, recalled the worried look on Yueyong Xiaomoe he had just met, and couldn't help but sigh.
She was not in Teacher Tsukiei's class, but Kamijou Touma, a student, was indeed a frequent visitor to the office.
My impression of him was not very good in the first place, but it may be even worse now.
Raising his voice again to remind the student who yelled 'Oops' not to run in the corridor, Oyafune Sugamo looked at the other protagonist in the 'Spring Cleaning Chat Incident'.
"You are...Kumokawa-kun, right?"
Kumokawa Seria, whose whereabouts are often a mystery, is obviously also the subject of discussion among ordinary educators.
Oyafune Sogan had a headache.
"Hello, Oyafune-sensei."
The wise girl who was also very familiar with the other party's identity nodded in response.
Just by hearing the name, you can actually make some associations.
A mathematics teacher at a certain high school, Sogan Oyafune.
The director of the "General Council", Oyafune Monaka.
Although the career gap is somewhat incredible, the two are indeed mother and daughter.
This is not secret information among Academy City's top brass.
In other words, only by making it public in this way can 'some people' feel at ease.
"Is there anything else?"
The interesting and interesting junior student that people care about has left, and it's time for her to go back to work.
"You...no, it's nothing."
If time permits, Oyafune Sogan would not mind communicating with Kumokawa Seria as a fellow 'beautiful girl' and imparting her correct usage experience.
‘Beauty is a very beneficial creature.’ This is also Oyafune Sogan’s life philosophy.
if there is enough time--
In the pocket of her business suit, her cell phone was still vibrating, which was to remind herself of the time she had set.
After all, today, we have an important ‘date’.
so.
After saying goodbye to each other, the two began to walk towards each other.
Oyafune Sogan quickened his pace and his expression softened.
Kumokawa Seria sucked the milk and looked at the sky where the clouds gradually blocked the sun.
It's going to rain.
…
…
Kamijou Touma returned to the classroom.
There is no doubt that what greeted him was the warm hospitality of his classmates.
Not eating caused his mobility to decline, which delayed him for some time. He had to take a detour to repair the cleaning pipe floor that was supposed to be used, which delayed him for some time. The communication with his senior sister was delayed for some time.
Fortunately, Kamijou is now doing the final finishing work, and most of the people have already gone back.
This is something to be thankful for, right?
perhaps……
"Kamijo Touma! How long do you want me to wait for you?"
The one who glared at him angrily was the remaining female member of the committee from his class, "The Girl of the Iron Wall", Fukiyose Rori.
"Wait, wait a minute Fukiyoshi! The unfortunate Mr. Kamijou is indeed at fault, but there is a deep meaning in it——"
"It's so ugly, Kamijou Touma! I hate the kind of man who makes all kinds of excuses to excuse himself! He also makes Teacher Xiaomoe worry! Please reflect on yourself!"
Fukiyose, who completely had the upper hand on justice, caused Kamijou to retreat step by step.
"Yes, sorry."
"louder please!"
"It's all my fault! I'm so sorry!"
Knowing that he was wrong, Kamijou-san cheered up and frankly admitted his mistake.
But at this moment, as only one person was being punished, he still had doubts about being unwilling to do so.
(...Where's that guy Tsuchimikado? Why isn't that guy there? Did he really slip away, so the unfortunate Mr. Kamijou has to bear double Fukiyose's wrath?!)
Kamijou, realizing that his friend might have stabbed him, couldn't help but complain.
