"It turns out... Is that so? After listening to Tamashiro Michiyo's explanation, Suzuki Mamoru let out a sigh of emotion.

He turned to the side and looked again at the girl, the head of the kendo department herself.

"What's wrong?" Under his scrutiny, Yucheng Sanchiyo had questions.

"No, I just didn't expect it."

"Isn't it like?"

"Not really." Mamoru Suzuki shook his head.

When he first saw Tamaki Michiyo, he felt that this girl was definitely not the same type as him - the kind of beautiful girl who stayed in the room all day and didn't go out called the "literary department".

With a neat ponytail and a light posture, the label of "sporty" may be more suitable for her.

Further observations later proved this. Even on rest days and during spring break, spending more time away is much greater than staying at home.

And, if it's Mamoru Suzuki, even if he has the ability to turn into a cat, he rarely runs around, and for him, the bedroom is his ultimate destination.

Tamajo Michiyo is clearly different from him.

"It's just that I didn't expect it to be the head of the kendo department."

However, if we look at the answer now, we can confirm some of the details that we have observed.

For example, the bare calves, which are youthful and energetic, white and clean, are obviously more likely to be indoor activities than outdoor sports. Kendo is very much in line with this.

And then came new problems.

Mamoru Suzuki thought of something, and asked again, "Tamaki-san won't be in the second grade until the beginning of the school year, right?" ”

Got confirmation from Tamajo Michiyo: "Yes." ”

"Did you become the head of the kendo department in the first grade?"

"The kendo club was founded by me after I entered Makino."

“... That's right. Mamoru Suzuki nodded, "That's amazing." ”

“... It's nothing. The ponytail behind Tamajo Michiyo flicked an arc, and his gaze had already fallen elsewhere.

Mamoru Suzuki glanced at Tamashiro Michiyo and ended the topic in time.

He spoke: "Okay, Yucheng-san, the next place... I want to go to the library, can you please take me there? ”

"Of course." Tamajo Michiyo seems to have regained his crisp and neat posture, but the topic of cats has indeed narrowed the distance between the two.

After a moment of hesitation, she added: "Now during the holidays, the library is not accessible." ”

"It's okay, just know the location."

Suzuki Shou responded, and then followed the light pace of Tamajo Michiyo.

......

By the time Mamoru Suzuki followed the steps of Tamajo Michiyo and walked around the campus, the tour was over.

The two of them, who had gone around and returned to the school building, began to return along the aisles of the campus until they walked out of Makino.

"Whew-"

Suzuki stopped in front of the school gate, looked back at the stone carved with "Makino High School" next to the school gate, and let out a long breath.

"I'm tired."

Walking all the way from home and going around the campus, Suzuki, who was already weak and hadn't moved for a long time, was inevitably a little tired at this time.

And, at such times, there is also a sense of satisfaction that "I have worked myself" and "I am amazing".

People who haven't exercised for a long time will suddenly take two steps.

After admiring his accomplishments, Mamoru Suzuki turned around with satisfaction and withdrew his gaze.

Immediately, he collided with the gaze of Tamajo Michiyo, who was one step ahead of him, turning to him.

She noticed his reaction, looked at him with her eyes, and asked with some hesitation, "... Tired? ”

"Uh... Yes, sort of. The sudden inquiry caught Mamoru Suzuki off guard.

"Can you still go?"

"Should... Not to the point where you can't walk. ”

After a pause, the two looked at each other, and then, Tamaki Michiyo slightly apologized.

"I'm sorry, I went too fast."

"Nothing."

"Suzuki-san's body, shouldn't it be good?" The excessively fair complexion and slender body are all confirmed. In fact, she noticed this when she came into contact with her after becoming a cat that day.

"It's not good." Mamoru Suzuki confirmed.

"It was my negligence, sorry." Tamaki Michiyo once again apologized.

"I don't need to apologize," Mamoru Suzuki's voice gradually weakened.

It's nothing, I just think...

Tamaki Sanchiyo's apology still seemed concise and cold, or crisp and neat. She turned around and said to herself.

"I'll slow down a little bit next."

"Uh..."

And, she added softly, "Even Suzuki-san can keep up." ”

“......”

Mamoru Suzuki fell silent, silently following the obvious slowdown of Tamashiro Michiyo.

Something bothered.

The sense of accomplishment that he had just "worked hard for myself" and "I'm amazing" had vanished in a few words of exchange with Tamajo Sanchiyo.

How to say it...

It's true that Mamoru Suzuki admits that his body is not very good.,But being specially taken care of by girls in this regard is really some... Indescribable feelings.

"There's nothing wrong with caring for others, but it's still bothering to be overly straightforward."

As the image of Tamashiro Michiyo sketched in his mind became clearer and clearer, Mamoru Suzuki began to reflect on himself.

......

Continue to return the same path as you follow the path that you have only walked once, so you are not familiar with it.

There are not many days left until the start of the new semester on April 7, and if nothing else, he will walk this path many times in the future.

The buildings on the side of the street looked familiar, and it was not much away from home.

"Three thousand generations."

A shout, listening to the salutation and the voice, you know that it definitely didn't come from Mamoru Suzuki's mouth.

Mamoru Suzuki came back to his senses, stopped looking at the side of the street, and looked at the source of the sound.

Directly ahead, past Tamajo Michiyo, a girl appeared there.

Yucheng Sanchiyo stopped, and it seemed that he knew the girl: "Rinka, what's wrong?" ”

The girl known as "Rinka" glanced at Mamoru Suzuki, her eyes were a little concerned, but then she returned to Tamaki Michiyo: "Why are you here?" I want to go to your house to find you. ”

"Looking for me?"

"yes, because Michiyo didn't come to train in the afternoon."

"Something."

"Things?" Rinka Nakazawa looked at Mamoru Suzuki again, "This is..."

"The new neighbor, take him to school today." Tamaki Michiyo explained simply, and then said, "It's all right now, I'll go later." ”

"That's right." Rinka Nakazawa walked in front of the three thousand generations of Tamaki, "Then let's go now?" ”

Tamashiro Michiyo looked back at Mamoru Suzuki.

Suzuki Mamoru was stunned for a moment, then smiled and waved his hand: "Tamaki-san, since you have something to do, let's go, I'm already here, I'll go back by myself." ”

"Well, let's stop for now."

"Hmm."

"Alright." Rin Nakazawa looked at Mamoru Suzuki for the third time, with inexplicable vigilance, and at the same time put her hand around Tamashiro Michiyo's arm, "Let's go." ”

“... Good. Tamajo Michiyo gently tugged at the arm that was being held with his other hand, but he didn't break free.
