Chapter 15: The Girl in the Library

Tori usually has the blessing of exercising his leg strength, and just arrived at the classroom when the preparatory bell stopped. As soon as the hind foot entered the classroom, Ishikawa-sensei followed.

I guess I'm lucky, right?

"Why are you standing here, Izumi?"

"Ah, I'm sorry, I'll get back to my seat right away."

I hurriedly returned to my seat, and as soon as I sat down in my seat, I saw Xing looking at me with a wicked smile.

"Why do you look out of breath? Did you come running? ”

"Thank you Hongfu," I glared at Xing unconvinced, "I don't know who said that if you are late, you will give me a good look?" ”

"No, it's that you can't see today's sunset."

"Isn't the nature the same?"

"How could it be the same," Apricot looked at me with an expression of "Are you an idiot?", "Isn't the degree of "looking good" much lighter?! At least it's half-paralyzed. ”

β€œβ€¦ Well, I should go buy an insurance policy, right? ”

"Well, of course it's up to you."

Just when the war of words between me and Apricot was in the opposite direction, Ishikawa-sensei's voice came from the podium.

"Izumi and Fujilin, even if the relationship is good, but now it's in class~"

"I'm sorry, Ishikawa-sensei."

Although I don't know where Ishikawa saw that I had a good relationship with Apricot, it was really wrong for us to talk in class, so I apologized to the teacher first, and then explained it later.

"Wait, wait, teacher!" Xing stood up suddenly, blushing and retorting loudly to the teacher, "I didn't have a good relationship with this guy!" ”

"Huh? Is that so? After listening to Apricot's speech, Ishikawa was a little surprised and said, "I'm sorry, it seems that I misunderstood." ”

Although I don't know what you misunderstood, teacher, but on the fact that I have a good relationship with Xing, I voted against it with both hands and feet! And the most unpleasant part is why you look at me with a sympathetic look, as if I am pitiful. Wait, this atmosphere...

I looked around the classroom and felt that everyone in the classroom was looking at me with the same eyes as Ishikawa, full of sympathy and pity.

Hey, what are you doing? Infected by Ishikawa virus? How to collectively create such an atmosphere similar to the Virgin Mary!

But the most puzzling thing is the puzzling discussion voices that come from time to time, such as "Izumi is so pitiful", "I was issued a good person card", "Izumi-kun is single", "We have hope" and so on.

Although the discussion in the later class was suppressed by Xing, who broke through the boiling point, today's afternoon class can be said to be quite depressing.

Of course, repression refers to me.

Although I don't know why, my classmates always looked at me strangely, and when I left my seat, a few boys who had a good relationship with me came over and patted me on the shoulder, with a comforting expression.

All in all, I felt like the whole class was pushing the limits of my patience. In order not to really can't help but beat people for a while, I decided! In the next class, I will β€”β€”β€”β€”β€” skip class!!

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€” dividing lineβ€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

When class was about to start, I quietly left the classroom to make sure that the people around me were not paying attention, especially the attention of the class leader.

The result was unexpectedly smooth! Maybe I actually have the potential to be a ninja, haha~ I'm really a genius!

I'm pretty proud now, but when it's time for class to be alone in the hallway, I'm too noticeable, and maybe I'll be caught back in the classroom by the other teachers, so I should go to a place where no one usually goes.

That's right, it should be there at this time...

"That, excuse me." Gently opened the door to the library and walked inside.

It is the best school in the town, not only is the library large but also the decoration is quite comfortable, so it is a great place to relax and read.

"Huh? Sure enough, there was no one," he walked in slowly, his eyes scanning the room, "Well, yes, after all, it's class time." ”

I muttered to myself as I walked over to a table by the window, intending to mix up the time right there.

"Ahh

I couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise as a young girl sat on the floor with a book under the window appeared in front of me.

Well, you should say hello, right?

Just as I was hesitating whether to greet the girl, I saw the girl pick up the scissors beside me, and then gesture it on the book spread out on her legs, as if intending to cut the page.

"Hey, wait a minute!" I hurriedly called out to the girl, "Isn't that right?!" ”

The girl, who seemed to be reacting to my words, stopped what she was doing, and then looked up at me with a blank expression.

"This is a book from the library, right? After all, it's a public good, so it's not good to cut it out. ”

"Ahh

The girl responded to my words as if she had just noticed.

I looked at the books scattered on the ground, "Prospects of Cosmic Physics", "The Present of Cosmic Physics", "Wave Arithmetic"... It seems like a complicated book.

I couldn't help but be curious about the expressionless girl in front of me, and looked at her carefully.

Although she has a slightly childish hairstyle, she still can't hide the bookish temperament exuded by the girl, with a delicate face, she can be called a beautiful girl, and then look at the badge of the school uniform on her body, blue... It turned out that I was a classmate in the same grade.

"Are you alone here?" I couldn't stand the girl's gaze at me intently, and I scratched my head a little embarrassed to change the topic, "Did you skip class too?" "What a terrible topic, how can anyone ask someone that way? As soon as the words came out, I couldn't help but scold myself in my heart for being stupid.

β€œβ€¦β€

β€œβ€¦β€

"Well, I won't bother you to read," I didn't expect to feel such a heavy pressure when I was stared at, I walked over to a bookshelf and took out a book, "I'll go over there and read it." ”

After nodding to the girl, I turned and walked to another table by the window, and found a random seat to sit down.

Time passed like this, minute by minute, I silently looked at the novel in front of me, and the girl also sat silently on the ground reading a book, and the atmosphere was such a depressing type.

Damn, what's the difference between this and the classroom... It's so dull that you can't move.

As a result, I unknowingly fell asleep while reading a book, and when I woke up, it was already time for the bell to ring for the end of school.

"Ah~," sat up in a daze, "Is it already this time?" ”

I got up from my chair, stretched a lot, and turned my head to look behind me. But to my surprise, the girl was still sitting in that place.

"Well, aren't you leaving? It's out of school now. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

The girl looked up at me with a puzzled expression.

"Isn't the bell ringing?"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Please~ Please give me a word! Could it be that this is the "three nos" attribute often referred to in anime?

"Are you going to stay here and not go home for dinner?"

β€œβ€¦ Yes! ”

The girl finally reacted to my words, let out an "ah", and then lowered her head and opened a box beside her.

Hey, isn't that a lunch box?

"I did it myself, and I'm very confident in this part in particular."

"Huh?! But isn't it forbidden to eat in the library? ”

"Do you want to eat?"

"Huh!"

The girl smiled and handed me the lunch box, but I looked a little embarrassed with a surprised expression.

"Yes, yes?" I crouched down, looked at the lunch box and sighed, "Can I taste one then?" ”

"Well... Yes! ”

The girl let out a cry of surprise as if she had discovered something.

"What's wrong?"

"There is only one pair of chopsticks."

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

I can feel the black lines on my face now.

Is this called a natural stay?

"It's okay, that's it." I reached out and took a meatball from my lunch box and put it in my mouth, "... Delicious! ”

"Ah~"

After hearing my admiration, the girl smiled happily as if she was relieved.

Looking at the girl's smiling face, I suddenly felt that the depression of this afternoon had disappeared, and if it was for this smile, it would be worth skipping class and staying in the library.

"Well~, okay," I stood up and looked down at the girl, "I'm going to say goodbye, it's better for you to hurry up and pack up and get ready to go home." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

"What's wrong?" Seeing that the girl in front of me had been staring at my face, I unconsciously touched my face with my hand, "Is there anything on my face?" ”

"Goodbye."

To my surprise, the girl just said goodbye to me.

"Well," I scratched my head in embarrassment.

What, I misunderstood.

"Then I'll take my leave, see you next time." After nodding to the girl sitting on the floor, I turned and left the library.
