It's Friday.

Early in the morning, Jingu Teraritsuki and Sakurakoji Sakura met in front of their house, and the two walked to the station together, and when they took the train, Sakurakoji Sakura, who was sleepy, rested his head on the boy's shoulder and slept like this for the whole stop.

When I got out of the platform, I pretended to be a stranger with Jingu Temple, met my friends on the sakado road in front of the school, said hello, and then went together, some like a little idol who secretly fell in love with an agent in private.

The last class before school in the afternoon was physical education class, and Jingu Terakitsuki, who couldn't find anyone to stretch with, raised his hand and said that he was not feeling well, and the physical education teacher nodded, so he left him alone.

Sitting against the walls of the gymnasium and savoring the smell of isolation in the air, the teenager closed his eyes and read the novel.

Actually, he could have gone to the infirmary to sleep.

But he didn't.

Perhaps his mood was somewhat affected by the girl, so he sat on the edge of the gymnasium with boredom, and heard exciting sentences such as "good ball" and "nice" in his ears, listening to them sing the sound of youth far away from him.

After all, who invented the word youth?

Jingu Siyue really wanted to ask him what should he call this time for people who can't experience youth.

"Yamashita! Pass! ”

"Oh......"

“…… Worst! ”

"Be careful!"

His fingertips didn't even touch the flashing dark orange basketball, like a runaway Geass, mercilessly flying towards the teenager sitting in the corner, looking like he was closing his eyes and recuperating.

Knock ——!

Feeling the wind slicing past his ears and slamming against the wall behind him, the basketball bounced off the ground a few times and rolled away.

The whole gymnasium suddenly fell silent, and even the other half of the girls who were playing volleyball looked this way.

Sakurakoji's gaze mingled with them.

"Na, did he close his eyes just now?"

"Huh? How could there be such a thing. ”

"I really saw it~~"

Someone was whispering, and the boy who threw the ball over, after being silent for a while, walked towards Jingu Terakitsuki with some reluctance.

"Hey...... You okay? ”

The young man craned his neck to look at the boy, and said in a calm voice, "Well, it didn't hit me anyway." ”

"Oh, that's right."

After hearing Jingu Siyue say this, the boy stood in place, his eyes always looking away, and he didn't know if he was talking to Jingu Siyue.

Jingu Teratsuki stood up and walked towards the physical education teacher who didn't move his steps at all, although his eyes were looking at them.

"Teacher, I really went to the infirmary to lie down, my stomach was a little uncomfortable."

"Are you okay with yourself?"

"Hmm."

After receiving approval, Jingu Teratsuki silently left the gymnasium.

When the figure of the teenager disappeared, the gymnasium, which was once a little dull, immediately regained its due vitality.

A high school student at this age should be so free and easy, but this is just a small "failure" of youth.

"It's okay, Yamashita."

"Hmmm......"

"That guy, it's really unpleasant."

"Huh?"

"Jingu Temple, Shengong Temple, I don't know what he's dragging, his face is handsome, he can read some books, and there is no one in his eyes."

"But it was our fault just now......"

"It's okay, didn't that guy himself say that he didn't hit him, don't worry."

"Saza! Go ahead! ”

……

……

Instead of going to the health room, Jimyu returned to the classroom, took advantage of the lack of people, finished the work of the students on duty, and then took off his sportswear and changed into a school uniform.

Packing up his school bag, sending a line to Sakura Koji Sakura, and after going to the staff room to get the key, the boy walked alone to the old school building.

In the connecting corridor leading to the old school building, Jingu Terakitsuki found a small creature squatting under the corridor wall, with its head buried between its knees, its head exposed.

Because she was wearing a sportswear, she could know that her class was also in physical education class, otherwise it would have become a student council member skipping class, which would not be justified anyway, and it would smear Hoshino Mori's face.

The boy looked to the left and right, the atrium on one side and the playground on the other, and there was no one anywhere.

I thought in my heart that I couldn't be a primary school student's hide-and-seek.

Thinking so, the young man moved lightly to the other side of the wall, intending to bypass the unknown creature.

As he was about to cross the corridor and enter the entrance of the old school building, the boy felt that the hem of his uniform was being pulled and there was a backward pull.

Jingu Siyue probably guessed that there would be this unfolding, so he sighed helplessly and looked back at her.

"The uniform, it's going to be stretched by you."

“………”

"Something?"

"It's not a problem." The creature puffed out its cheeks and looked up at the boy.

"Anyway, let's loosen my uniform first."

"You won't run?"

"What do I have to run."

"Because every time the seniors see us, they look at us with a troublesome expression."

"So you have self-knowledge."

Jingu Terakitsuki showed a surprised expression.

"Woo......"

The girl let go of Jingu Teraki's uniform and began to follow Jingu Tsuki towards the student council room on the fourth floor.

"So what? What's the trouble? ”

The two walked side by side, Jingu Terakitsuki glancing sideways at her.

"Should I say it's trouble, or is it trouble, the root of everything is that we are too cute."

Ha? What's this guy talking about?

Yang Gongyao sighed heavily and pointed at himself with his finger: "Hey, senior, I have to say, we are a very good girl, right?" ”

“………”

"Why don't you make a sound?"

"I'm just wondering if you're serious or if you're playing tricks."

"Really! Lovely juniors are worried, how can you have such an attitude~"

"So it's serious......" the boy sighed in surprise.

The short schoolgirl's nose made a "hum" sound, followed by a very depressed expression.

"Hee, listen to us~

"During PE class, we held a mixed dodgeball game for boys and girls, because we were so popular, everyone in the class wanted to team up with us, and we almost got into a fight, and we really didn't know what to do, so we ran away."

I see, is this the distress of popularity?

I'm also very popular in the Shimokitazawa area, so I rely on my face.

The boy inexplicably became a protester.

Then there was silence, a long silence, and they walked from the first floor to the second floor, and from the second floor to the third floor, during which neither of them spoke.

"Huh?! Let's wait for the seniors to comfort us, what are the seniors waiting for?! ”

Jingu Siyue took a deep breath and said angrily: "Who cares about you." ”

The boy slapped the school girl on the head, took the key out of his pocket, and opened the door to the student council room.
