Friday, October 30.

On the eve of the cultural festival.

A hint of autumn glow fills the school.

The boy stood on the rooftop, in a place where the sun could not shine, and the glow of the setting sun dyed the side face of the girl in front of him with a layer of golden shame, as if to encourage her to take a step closer to the boy.

"Senior, I like you, please socialize with me."

In the face of this ponytailed schoolgirl, the boy only knows her name, she is a very laughing and diligent child, and she gets along well with other classmates in the committee.

But that's all, the teenager doesn't know anything about her other than that.

And she must not know the real teenager at all.

The teenager, of course, could not respond to her wishes.

Even so, he didn't have the cold, frightening expression he had in the past.

He wants to be gentle, to be more frank with people who want to like him, who want to be close to him, who want to get to know him.

It's not about choosing to ignore or run away, it's not about deceiving with lame lies.

It is undeniable that sometimes, lies are indeed more moving than the truth.

But if that person knows that he uses lies to reject the girl, he will definitely make her angry.

Then you can only say your original feelings.

Try to recall your former self, if it was Jingu Temple Moon back then, how he answered in the face of the girl's confession.

"Sorry, I already have someone I like."

……

……

Staying alone on the rooftop for a long time, Jingu Temple Moon went downstairs and returned to the conference room, and the senior sister who confessed to him before seemed to have entered the state of work, at least on the surface, there was nothing wrong, maybe it was a girl who was good at hiding her thoughts.

"Jinguji-san, where did you go just now, when I was in the classroom, I said I wanted to find you to stamp."

Sakura Koji Sakura crossed his hands on his hips, expressing his dissatisfaction with the fact that he couldn't find Jingu Jizuki just now.

He deliberately staggered the time to go downstairs, so no one connected him with the schoolgirl.

"Sorry, it's a little bit of a thing."

Sakura Koji Sakura's eyes were a little suspicious when he looked at him, and finally gave up the question, which can probably be regarded as Sakura's unique gentleness.

Although it is the eve of the cultural festival, the work to be done is basically completed, and the biggest task left for Jinguji Mon is to ensure that tomorrow's cultural festival performance runs smoothly.

After a simple meeting, Jingu Temple Moon announced that it would be disbanded, and tomorrow would be a cultural festival, and if you don't rest well tonight, you won't be able to enjoy the cultural festival tomorrow.

After that, Jingu Teratsuki returned to the class with Sakura Koji Sakura, and by this time the classroom of Class A in Year 2 had completely changed, with desks and chairs neatly stacked in the back row, and a few round tables covered with tablecloths were vacated in the middle for entertaining guests.

Colorful ribbons hang above the classrooms and on the door frames and windowsills, and in the corner there is a space separated by a curtain that reads "Locker Room (Girls Only)".

As soon as she returned to the classroom, Sakura Koji Sakura threw herself into the group of girls and completed the final homework together.

Jingu Terakitsuki really had nothing to do, so he could only sit in his seat and draw.

The promotional posters he was responsible for had all been painted, so now he is just drawing essays to pass the time.

"Why don't you give it a try, please Jinguji-san, since the committee is busy, he may agree."

With a slight movement of his ears, the boy heard his name, until a girl approached and he put down the stylus in his hand.

"That, Jinguji-san......"

The boy looked at the girl, who wanted him to draw some patterns on the blackboard to fit the atmosphere of the cosplay café.

Without much thought, Jingu Siyue nodded: "Yes." ”

It's just that when I asked what I wanted to draw, the girls didn't know much about it, so after consulting the boys' opinions, the answers I got were basically animated female characters with a huge degree of exposure, which attracted the unanimous opposition of the girls.

Eventually, Jingu Teratsuki drew the end band on the blackboard.

As for why the end of the band......

Because there are only four colors of chalk in the classroom.

……

……

Coming home from school.

When we arrived at Jiyugaoka, Jingu Teratsuki and Sakurakoji Sakura walked down the alley together, it was the end of October, and the night was very fast, and the night was much thicker than in summer.

Sakura Koji Sakura walked quietly beside the boy, glancing at him from time to time.

"Bah, month."

"Huh?"

"Today, were you confessed by a cute girl?"

Jingu Siyue was slightly stunned, and couldn't help asking, "You saw it?" ”

"It's not that I see it, it's just a guess."

"Guess?"

"That kid, I usually like to look at you secretly, but today I look quiet and lost, and when you have a meeting, you also look at her once or twice, in other words, you will never care about the girls in the conference room."

"What a reasoning, when did you become so smart?"

"I'm stupid and can't do anything but look at you, so I'm just going to know everything about you."

I almost forgot that Sakura Koji Sakura is such a girl.

"Have you rejected people well?" She asked softly.

"Hmm."

"If Yue wants to reform from the bottom of his heart and meet a cute and kind girl, I actually won't stop Yue."

Jingu Teratsuki suddenly stopped.

The girl walked two or three paces away, smiled and looked back at him.

"I've actually thought that the person who walks next to the moon doesn't have to be me.

"Because the moon has always been like that, I can't rest assured of you, and I stay where I am waiting for you, but now it is different."

"Did I keep you waiting too long......"

Seeing his lost look, Sakura Koji Sakura was suddenly dumbfounded, and pretended to be angry and said, "Yue is really stupid, is that how you think of me?"

"Don't say three years, it's five years, ten years, I will always wait, but now the month, I don't need to wait, I even have to run forward desperately."

The young man looked at his childhood sweetheart in front of him blankly, and felt that she was a little strange at this time, a strangeness at the level of praise.

"Why?"

"Because Tsuki wants to chase that person, doesn't it?

"In order not to be left far behind by you, I have to run forward, and one day I will run in front of you, and let you see my back."

The moonlight left a charming light and shadow on the girl's face, and the voice was confident and decisive, and the boy walked forward slowly and dullly.

Sakura Koji looked at him quietly, and saw that he raised his arms, did not dodge, and let the boy hold her in his arms.

"I hope Sakura can always be by my side."

"Is it because you like me, or because you're afraid?"

“…… Probably, both. ”
