"That girl is Yuko Masaka, can't you and the other classmates tell her apart?"

"...Huh? Classmate?"

"What are you talking about? Iwanami."

"How could such a cute girl be that rustic girl?"

The boys looked over with puzzled expressions and unanimously denied it.

Kato Yusuke sneered, and did not argue with them. He just said "stupid" with contempt, and then walked towards the two girls.

Follow the direction he is going.

Everyone also saw the scene there clearly.

And when they saw Iwanami joining the conversation calling "Yuko", and the girl responded to him quite naturally.

The whole classroom fell silent at first.

Immediately afterwards——

"Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-!?!?"

It exploded into a pot instantly.

"That rustic girl with glasses...!"

"Is there anything so cute?"

“That’s ridiculous!”

Regardless of whether they were boys or girls, almost everyone looked there in disbelief.

Facing the invisible pressure caused by his sight, not to mention Yuko, even Sayu couldn't help but feel his body sink, as if the density of the surrounding air suddenly increased, making him breathless.

However, this feeling quickly disappeared as a slender figure stood in front of them, blocking everyone's sight.

"Are you okay?" Kato Yusuke asked.

"Um……"

"No, it's okay..."

Sayu and Yuko nodded one after another, both of them had an unreal feeling. Their seemingly peaceful daily life suddenly became unrecognizable, and there was a sense of disharmony everywhere.

Seeing their reactions, Yusuke smiled and turned his gaze to Yuko, nodded affirmatively, and said:

"This outfit suits you very well, Yuko. In my heart, I feel almost 1/3 of Sayu's heart."

Hearing this...

"Thank you... Iwanami-san."

Masaka Yuko couldn't help showing a shy expression, and explained in a low voice:

"This is because there happens to be a hair salon downstairs from my house, so yesterday I was thinking about trying it... and the result... wouldn't it be weird?"

"——Not surprising at all!"

Sayu put his hands on her shoulders and said in a serious tone: "It suits you very well, Yuko, so have confidence!"

"This, that's it...thank you." Yuuko stretched out her fingers and scratched her cheek, smiling shyly.

Kato Yusuke turned to look behind him, and what he saw was a pair of eyes full of surprise and suspicion, mixed with some subtle curiosity.

The boys were peering behind him, trying to match Yuko Masaka today with the local girl in their memory, their expressions looking quite funny.

Snap.

He clapped his hands to attract the attention of the boys and said jokingly: "Staring at girls with such a pig face will only scare others. You should act more confident, you idiots."

"What! How dare you say that?"

"Damn it, people who call others stupid are stupid!"

"Iwanami is right. They are all high school students. They are noisy and immature at all." A boy suddenly said seriously.

The scene suddenly became quiet.

Then...

"Asshole, you were the one who screamed the loudest just now!?"

"There seems to be a traitor among us?"

"Gentlemen, kill him first!"

Several people were laughing and joking together.

The humorous atmosphere distracted some of the attention.

Kato Yusuke turned around and turned his attention to Sayu and Yuko again.

Feeling a little thirsty, he picked up the pomegranate juice on the table and drank it.

The sweet and sour juice enters the mouth and is filled with aroma.

"...That's mine, right?" Sayu glanced at him.

"Yeah." Kato Yusuke nodded, unmoved.

After staring at his face for a while, the girl silently withdrew her gaze and stopped paying attention to him.

It's quite a bit like trying to get someone out of your way...

It just so happened that the bell for the morning shift meeting rang at this time.

The students returned to their seats one after another.

Teacher Shibata walked into the classroom with a bulging belly, stood on the podium, and looked around the class.

"I will announce something next."

He cleared his throat and said: "Because the classmate who was the class president before is sick and has taken a leave of absence. Next, we need to elect an acting class president. Is anyone willing to serve?"

"Teacher." A student in the audience raised his hand, "Wouldn't it be better to just let the deputy monitor serve?"

"I have already discussed this matter with Taniguchi-san."

Mr. Shibata continued: "Everyone knows that this year's men's basketball club is very competitive. In order to keep them in good condition, it is not suitable for them to hold the position of deputy squad leader."

"So that's it..."

"Doesn't that mean that the squad leader and deputy squad leader have to be re-elected?"

"I always feel like it's very troublesome..."

The students started chattering.

"Quiet."

Teacher Shibata knocked on the podium and straightened out the discipline.

"Then, if anyone wants to be the squad leader, please raise your hand."

His eyes scanned the entire place.

The audience was quiet. The students who had been noisy just now lowered their heads and stared at their desks, turning a deaf ear.

Obviously, no one wants to take over this troublesome matter.

In this regard,

Teacher Shibata seemed to have expected it. After a pause, he said: "Since no one volunteers, let's decide by drawing lots."

Finished speaking.

An opaque cardboard box was placed on the table with a thud.

Upon seeing this, let’s not talk about the reactions of the boys for the moment. The girls secretly looked around in private, as if to spy on each other’s movements, but there was no positive reaction.

"There are everyone's student IDs in this box, and the person I drew is the acting monitor." Teacher Shibata said calmly, putting his hand into the box.

There was a commotion in the class.

However, this was a fair method, so although the students were unhappy, they did not express any objection.

At this time——

"Teacher, can you recommend me? I recommend Yuko Masaka."

A girl suddenly said this and was immediately recognized by another girl.

"Second, Masaka-san seems to be very suitable for this kind of job."

"……Huh?"

Unexpectedly, someone would suddenly call her name. Yuuko was obviously at a loss and didn't know how to respond.

"Just do it, Masaka, aren't you very good at preparation~?"

"She does look very prepared."

There was a bit of teasing in the words.
