How to say that?

As a result, after school, I didn't see Nishina-san.

Although I regretted it, compared to this, after returning to the classroom to tell the apricot the result, the class leader's contemptuous eyes stared at me for an afternoon.

"Did you listen to Izumi?"

Haruhara's voice interrupted my daze.

"Ah, I'm sorry, you go on."

It's after school in the afternoon, and the three of us, Okazaki, and Furukawa, are staying in the sports warehouse at the back of the school building. As a place where students only come to the gym except for physical education classes and athletic meets, and even the athletic club rarely uses, this is a perfect place for secret conversations.

"Really, now it's the key point."

"Excuse me, go on."

"I already know who the prisoner is."

"That's right," Okazaki frowned, "but the way you used..."

"No problem, I'm using a very peaceful method, if you don't believe it, you can ask Izumi."

"Ahh Sort of. ”

I nodded hesitantly.

At that time, he only left halfway through the accompaniment, and although he knew very well that there would be no disputes with the methods adopted by Haruhara, the classmates who were frightened by the threat were a little uncomfortable.

"Sure enough, the prisoner is a member of the choir, a girl named Sugisaka."

"Do you have proof?"

"That guy's classmates witnessed it, the time was after school yesterday, and it was very late, and they saw her enter the third-grade classroom and put something in the desk, not to mention that the girl is still in the choir club, there will be no mistake."

"You can't make this up, do you?"

"It's true, if you don't believe me, tell you the name of that student, just ask and know if it's true or not."

Okazaki's question disgruntled Haruhara.

"No need," Okazaki turned his gaze to me after seeing Haruhara's reaction, "what do you think?" ”

"I have all the witnesses, it seems that I can't go wrong."

Alas, I didn't expect it to be really a choir club, what should I do in the future...

"That's why I said, women are really incomprehensible," Haruhara smacked his lips after taking a sip of juice and winked at Furukawa with a triumphant smile, "Nagisa-chan, do you understand now?" How naïve my own ideas are. ”

"Say less."

"You, who did you rely on to find out the truth? But well~ I'll know right away," Haruhara was very dissatisfied with Okazaki's criticism, smiled self-deprecatingly, and looked behind him, "Ah, the prisoner is coming." ”

Turning my head, I saw a second-grade girl just coming out of the corner and standing across from us.

Could it be that she is the prisoner who intimidated the letter?!

I looked at her in amazement.

With short brown shoulder-length hair, a delicate face, and a medium height, she looks like a boyish girl at first glance. But what impressed me the most was the bright eyes, alas~ It seems that he is a stubborn person.

"I called her here," Haruhara nodded in satisfaction as he looked at the three of us in surprise, and took a step forward, "It's admirable to be alone." ”

I don't know if this last sentence is praise or sarcasm.

"It was my own idea to send that letter," Sugizaka readily admitted, calmly facing the three seniors who were older than her, "It has nothing to do with Nishina-san, it's just me who is at fault." ”

"Do you think that makes sense? It's annoying that there are naïve people everywhere. ”

With his hands spread, Haruhara's soft snort, as if he had seen a funny performance, smiled happily, and walked towards Sugisaka.

Hey, is this kid going to...

"Wait a minute! Haruhara-san. ”

Just as Okazaki and I were about to rush forward and grab Harubara, Furukawa, who had been silent beside us, rushed over one step ahead of us, blocking the middle between Haruhara and Sugisaka.

"We met yesterday in the music classroom," Seeing that Haruhara didn't make any moves, Furukawa turned to Sugisaka and smiled kindly, "Let's talk about it." ”

In the face of Furukawa's proposal, Sugizaka was silent for a moment, and finally nodded after a few seconds.

"Nishina has been playing the violin since she was a child, and she has won several awards in competitions, and her talent is recognized by many people, and she is already preparing to study abroad."

Sugisaka paused and took a breath.

"But just before that... There was an accident. ”

She lowered her head, her voice choked up.

"The grip is weaker, and the violin can't be played as well as it used to."

"Then, even though I entered this school, I was lonely all the time, so we decided to set up a choir club!"

"Even if I can't play the violin, I can still sing the songs, because Nishina-san's songs are also very good."

She wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and...

"Please, please don't get in the way of Rie!"

She bent down deeply.

"That..."

Faced with this unexpected development, Furukawa stood there dumbfounded, not knowing what kind of reaction to make.

Oops, I originally thought that this Sugisaka-classmate was a stubborn girl, and the negotiation conversation should be very tough or fierce, and I was ready to do it, but I didn't expect it to be this hand, it's too foul!

I stood next to me with my mouth covered, although I was calm on the surface, my heart was already in chaos, and I kept thinking about what I should say to refuse the other party more tactfully.

"Don't listen to such people!"

Haruhara shouted.

"It's despicable to want to use this misfortune to win the sympathy of others!"

"I want to be taken care of just because I'm unlucky... This is a naïve idea! ”

"If you want to get us out by pretending to be pitiful or something, don't even think about it!"

Waving his arms vigorously, Haruhara roared loudly.

"How naïve!"

Seeing such an angry Haruhara for the first time, Furukawa and I both widened in surprise.

Okazaki looked away and showed a complicated look.

The only voices present were the sound of Haruhara gulping and the sobs of Sugisaka, who was still bowing to Furukawa.

"What to cry about! Pretend to be pitiful! ”

Haruhara roared angrily and slammed the juice box in his hand to the ground.

The juice box bounced up and rolled to Sugisaka's feet.

But even so, Sugisaka kept her head deeply down, and her body didn't even move.

Although Haruhara's anger is a bit excessive, I'm sorry, Sugisaka-san, this time I'm on Haruhara's side, and I can only say I'm sorry for Sugisaka's request.

Although Nishina-san has such a past and feels sorry for her, sympathy is sympathy, and we are also working hard with dreams, and it is a pity that we can't just give up our dreams so easily.

"I can't do it if I get in the way of Nishina-san."

Furukawa's words are going to my thoughts.

"There's nothing wrong with you, Nagisa! Forget what she just said! ”

"It's already... Got it," after a pause, Furukawa smiled faintly at us, "The people in the choir club really like music, and the drama club..."

This smile, I know.

In the past, when Furukawa was left by a classmate who was supposed to clean up with her in the flower bed, she also smiled like this.

Don't... Aren't you...

"Furukawa!"

Before she could say that, I strode forward and loudly interrupted her.

"Izumi-kun... It's okay. ”

As if knowing what I was going to say next, Furukawa shook his head.

"Sugisaka-san, our drama department has given up."

Under the gaze of our three boys, Furukawa said to Sugizaka seriously and solemnly.

"Furukawa-san..."

"So please build a great choir club with Nishina-san."

Sure enough, although when you say "I know", I have a hunch that you will say that, but...

Why is your smile so bitter?

"Damn... Big stupid! ”

After yelling at these words, Haruhara turned around and ran away without looking back.

———————————— dividing line————————————

"Damn!"

Haruhara's efforts kicked away the small stone in front of him.

"Alas, you also know that Furukawa has such a character, so why be angry."

I followed behind Haruhara.

"It's because I know that Xiao Nagisa is very kind, so I'm even more angry!"

"Well, that's true."

The main reason is that I didn't expect the other party to play a warm card, even if it was me, I would be shaken after hearing such a story.

"But Haruhara, even if the other party's method can't be agreed, you don't need to be so angry."

"The practice of exploiting misfortune to gain sympathy is too despicable to be forgiven!"

"Hah, that's right."

Although Haruhara occasionally yells at Okazaki's teasing, that's just to the extent of a big joke, and now that way, it seems that Sugisaka-san's words accidentally stepped on his mine.

"But then again, aren't you going to stay there?"

As if he had shouted out everything he wanted to say, and his mood became better, Haruhara turned to look at me.

"Stay there?"

"Nagisa is there."

"Oh, then," compared to Furukawa, the situation on your side is more worrying, and it will be troublesome if you go out again, "Don't worry, Okazaki will accompany you." ”

"Okazaki, he and Nagisa are quite close."

"Isn't it a matter of course that we're all good friends?"

"Really?" Haruhara's stood up and patted the dust off his palm, tilted his head and thought, "In addition to apricots, it's the first time I've seen Okazaki take the initiative to get so close to a girl, is he to Xiao Nagisa?" ”

"What's the matter, Okazaki just wants to help Furukawa."

The other party is the ice-faced king Okazaki-kun? Haha, how can this kind of thing be... But after saying this, I think it's a little bit of that flavor again, no, no, no, shouldn't it?

"Sure enough, the target is bread too?"

"Didn't you know that Okazaki doesn't like sweets? How could he have approached Furukawa in order to eat bread? ”

If you can make bread your goal, there won't be a second person in this world besides you!

"Huh! No, isn't it?! ”

"Of course not!"

I'm more likely to ask, but I'm surprised? What the hell is going on with this shocked expression! How much do you believe that Okazaki likes bread?!

"Okay, let's talk about it first," rubbing my temples, I tried to shift the topic away from the question "Is Okazaki approaching Furukawa for bread?" ”

After all, that's the more important question.

"Even if Xiao Nagisa says to give up, I will continue to do it."

"You're not bad," Sure enough, Haruhara, Haruhara, and this momentum is needed at any time, "but what should we say about Apricot and Starling and Kotomi?" ”

"Huh?"

"Yesterday, they submitted their application for admission to the ministry, you shouldn't have forgotten, right?"

"Uh, hahaha, how is this possible?"

No, you must have forgotten all about laughing so happily.

"It's up to us men to solve this, you know, girls are very emotional."

Ahhh~ This kid really dares to say it, looking at it, it will definitely blow the cowhide for a while, so let's just leave it alone.

"Yes, I know, anyway, let's go back to the department first."

"Anyway, you have to come up with a way first, well... Or really threaten the choir department. ”

"Hey, violence doesn't work."

If you make a big fuss, it's not a word or two of embarrassment that will be fine.

"Well, it's like that, it's also troublesome if the girls know, especially the violent sister of the Fujilin family!"

With a "whoosh", an object quickly brushed my hair bun and smashed straight into Haruhara's face.

Ahh This、This is as accurate as a general skill.,Difficult、Is it?

Turning his head slowly like a machine, although I already had an answer in my heart, when I saw that it was really her, I already wanted to shout for help.

"Hmph, are you two talking about something interesting?"

Walking up to us, the "murderer", no, it should be the head of the class, Miss Fujibayashi Xing, rubbed her fists and showed a bright smile.
