"Why are you sweating so much on your face, are you in a hurry?"

"Yes, something very important." Taking the tissue from the other party, I wiped the sweat off my face and nodded affirmatively, "Do you know where Okazaki is?" Apricot. ”

"Well~ I remember seeing them walk into the old school building just now."

"That's right, thank you."

Great, if it's in the drama department, you don't have to work hard to find them everywhere.

"Really, smirking like a fool."

Still unforgiving, apricot.

"You're really rude."

"Well~ Then let's not talk about it, it's not an important thing anyway." Waving his hand unmindfully, Xing smiled brightly at me, "Tomorrow is Saturday, are you free?" ”

Isn't it important that I'm called a fool? Please, Miss, this is a big deal for me! Beware of me suing you for slander.

"Did you say tomorrow?" Looking at the smile on Xing's face, I suddenly felt a bad premonition, "I'm sorry, I've already made a reservation." ”

"Huh?!" I didn't expect me to refuse, Xing showed a surprised expression, "You have a reservation?" ”

"Yes."

"Ahaha~ Is it a girl?" Immediately nodded in understanding, and Xing looked at me meaningfully and smiled evilly, "You kid is not bad." ”

"No, isn't it Ibuki-sensei's wedding tomorrow?" Before the misunderstanding deepened, I hurriedly shook my head and denied it, "I promised to participate." ”

"You said tomorrow there is... Wedding? Hearing my words, Xing was obviously stunned for a moment.

"Well, don't you know?"

“… No, it feels like there's really such a thing," she smiled, and Apricot frowned in thought, "but she couldn't think of anything." ”

"That's right," like me, if it weren't for Yukimura-sensei and Usami's reminders, I probably wouldn't have remembered, "Why don't you go back and talk to Starling?" Maybe the starlings will know something. ”

"That's right! There's also this trick," Xing smiled brightly again when she heard my suggestion, "I'll discuss it with Starling, but I didn't expect you kid to still be able to make some useful suggestions." ”

What do you mean by "unexpected"? The latter sentence is completely redundant, and yes~ Xing, don't show me an expression of "you can still do it as long as you want to", you are my brother!

"Ha, haha, find, find you!"

As soon as I opened the door of the theater department, I leaned against the door frame and pointed inside breathlessly and shouted.

“… What are you doing? Spring. ”

Of the three people who opened their mouths wide in shock, Okazaki was the first to recover.

"Of course I'm looking for you guys." Walking up to Okazaki, I glared at him from above, "Are you not telling me the truth about something?" ”

"What are you talking about?"

Hearing my question, Okazaki's brow furrowed.

"Then let me ask you, what the hell is going on with this child?" I pointed to Fengzi, who was sitting opposite, and said to Okazaki with some anger, "Obviously I have known her before, why don't you all tell me?!" ”

"Do you remember?" Okazaki suddenly stood up excitedly and grabbed my shoulder, "Do you remember her?" ”

"Is this true? Izumi-kun! ”

“… Big pervert. ”

Not only Okazaki, but also Furukawa and Kazeko, who had not spoken on the side, stood up and looked at me in surprise.

“… Only one point. Shaking my head regretfully, I tilted my head to the other side in some embarrassment, "But it's not entirely at all. ”

"Really... So you're just here to ask why we didn't tell you the truth? ”

"It's not just that, I..." I couldn't find a rebuttal to Okazaki's accusation, "Tomorrow is Ibuki-sensei's wedding, right?" ”

"So what?"

"It's not a problem!" Dissatisfied with Okazaki's perfunctory attitude, I slapped the table and yelled at Okazaki, "What I want to know is if Ibuki-sensei's wedding has something to do with Kazeko!" ”

"But do you know what you can do?" Okazaki grabbed me by the collar and yelled with some excitement, "Obviously you forgot!" ”

"Oka, Okazaki-kun!" Furukawa hurriedly ran over and grabbed Okazaki's arm and looked at us anxiously, "Izumi-kun! ”

"yes, I don't know why I forgot!" Maybe because of Okazaki's tone, my mood suddenly rose to the highest point, "But! At least let me know! If you don't know anything, you won't be able to remember it no matter how long it takes! ”

"You kid really know how to say, what is the meaning of "why do you forget", do you think this is an excuse?"

"I didn't think about it that way!"

"So what are you thinking?"

In this way, Okazaki and I pulled each other's collars and glared at each other, and neither of us wanted to let go of our breath.

"Please stop arguing!"

In such an atmosphere, Furukawa, who had been pulling us aside, suddenly shouted loudly.

"Why are you arguing?!" Furukawa looked at us with an expression that was about to cry, and gently hugged Fengzi, who was holding a starfish next to him and didn't speak, into his arms, "Why can't we discuss it well?" ”

“…”

“…”

Listening to Furukawa's accusations, Okazaki and I both grabbed each other's collars and lowered our heads silently.

"Why, why did Okazaki-kun and Izumi-kun do this?! Aren't you friends? ”

“… I'm sorry, I'm too agitated. After a moment of silence, I scratched my head and apologized, "Okazaki too, I'm really sorry for saying those things to you." ”

"No, I'm wrong too." Okazaki was a little embarrassed, "I said so many excessive things. ”

……

Then there was a dead silence.

"That," I felt a tug at the corner of my coat, "Izumi." ”

When I looked down, I saw Fengzi holding a starfish in his arms.

"Kazeko's sister's wedding is about to take place, can you come and bless my sister?"

“… Ah," I silently lowered my head and reached out to touch my emerald green head, "I will." ”

It's a promise that has already been made... Although it has been forgotten by me.

What an incredible child.

Looking at Fengzi who invited me again, I thought silently in my heart.

I was about to cry, but why did I smile so brightly when I agreed to participate?
