52. Shame

52. Shame on you

Just like that, as I bowed her head and finished her apology, her eyes began to come alive.

Instantly, tears began to well up in her eyes, and as I was perplexed by her appearance, she hugged me.

“Senior?”

And then she starts to cry.

“Huhhhhh-! Juniors! Now I know that juniors hate me, and I was so sad! I’m even more sorry! It’s all my fault! Hehhh!”

“…”

I’m embarrassed.

It never occurred to her that she was caring about things to this extent.

I thought it would be a little shaky at best.

The situation just now is also…

“……”

And I, who was momentarily froze at the sudden action and reaction of the senior.

Took-

Took-

As I had done to Morish*ta before, I patted the senior’s back.

“…”

“Ahhhhh-“

…Every time I do something like this, I feel…But I feel like a father raising an immature daughter.

***

How many minutes had passed like that?

The cry of the senior who was hugging me in that state earlier gradually stopped, and then stopped.

And the surroundings became quiet accordingly.

“……”

“……”

And then time passes again.

I spoke to the senior who seemed unwilling to come out even after the crying had stopped.

“…Senior.”

“Yes…”

“Are you okay now?”

“Ugh, yes…”

“Then please come out now.”

“I don’t like…”

“Yes..?”

“Will you stay like this for a while…”

“……”

Come to think of it, this senior, he used to do this when he went to school before.

I won’t fall even if I tell him to fall.

“…”

I’m going to go a little tougher.

“If I don’t do it now, I won’t be able to go near seniors in the future.”

“…Okay.”

At my warning, childish but not menacing, she begins to loosen her arms.

She immediately lowered her arm and left me.

“After…”

“…”

When I finally looked at her who revealed her face, her eyes were still bright from her tears from earlier.

And she couldn’t even look at me with those eyes, she blushed and just stared down at her floor.

“…”

I have to say something quickly and come out.

“Ah, senior. Come to think of it, you have something to tell me before, didn’t you? Before, when I was angry on the roof.”

Surely I have something important to say, I guess.

She raised her head as if she had come to her senses.

She said, holding her index fingers together, still keeping her gaze down.

“Oh, I did. Well, that’s… Actually, I think my grandfather wanted to meet her juniors…”

“…”

That was the story…

“Oh, I didn’t tell my grandfather anything about Shujinkoo-kun! But I don’t know how he knew, but he did know…”

“…”

Maybe it was because you called my name in the room.

“Ah! If juniors don’t want to go, you don’t have to go! I’ll tell my grandfather well. I really want to see you.

“…Senior.”

“Huh? Why?”

“Your grandfather, I’ve already met you.”

“Eh? Really? How? Surely ask me… Oh, sh*t… Um! I see!”

Yes, my senior’s grandfather, who said he wouldn’t force it, personally took me there in an extraordinary way.

By the way, that man was just trying to tell sh*tsuji Joshi, but he hid it, right?

Isn’t it all in one line? No This nobleman didn’t know that I had met the chairman?

…Did I make a judgment that it would be beneficial to get even a little bit of my information or my grandfather’s support from him…

“…”

As I looked at her with her suspicious eyes, she opened her mouth.

“Junior, by any chance… Grandpa didn’t say something strange..?”

She looks at me with a worried look and speaks. He must have been doing that because he feared that the president would say something embarrassing about himself.

I wonder if it’s because I have a corner where I’m stabbed in my own way.

…Can I play with you? Through her pouting girl, she also teases the chairman who kidnapped her.

Okay, let’s do that.

“Ah! I heard from senpai’s grandfather that senpai calls me by my name like that in the room? Even with her blushing face.”

“Eh, eh..? Eh..????”

At my words, her face turned red in an instant and she couldn’t continue her words. Still, she was a little long-winded, but that… It was real.

“Well, how did her grandfather do that…? Ugh-!”

She collapsed in her seat immediately.

“Your juniors also found out! It’s embarrassing, embarrassing, embarrassing…”

“…”

How many hours had passed since she said nothing and shook her head, covering her blushing face with her hand.

She seemed to have calmed down a bit, she said in a worried voice as she poked her eyes out between her fingers that were still covering her face.

“Junior-kun… Are you sure you’re not disappointed in me..?”

“…”

Her pupils are shaking violently. And seeing her like that… I decided to tease her a little bit more.

“Um-, slightly?”

“Eh..?”

The image of the girl who was about to start crying after becoming teary-eyed at my continued pranks.

Bewildered by that appearance, I hurriedly waved my hand.

“Joke! Just kidding! I’m not disappointed!”

“…Really?”

“Sure! It was just a joke. Really.”

“That, yes… Thank you, Junior… Huh…”

After hearing my confirmation from her, she brushed her heart as if relieved.

…It’s new, but I think she really likes me.

As I watched her so her surprised and her mind gathered her heart, she told me.

“Ah, did you have anything else to say..?”

A much more concerned voice than before.

Remembering her appearance earlier, I decided to stop teasing her and get to the point.

“Oh, come to think of it, my senior’s grandfather even asked me to marry him.”

“Huh..!”

She opens her eyes wide as if surprised by my words.

She said, blushing again.

“That, so the answer is..?”

She looks nervous.

Even in the midst of that, it seemed like she was secretly expecting her to glance at me.

But I, who didn’t care about her appearance like that, told her.

“I declined.”

“Why…”

She looked very disappointed.

“…”

Why why? It’s strange to expect this in the first place.

“Why am I marrying a senior?”

“Still, it would be nice if you married me… The two of you live happily together… You have three kids…”

“…”

Like that, the rest of the lunch break that day ended with me responding appropriately to the senior’s explanation about ‘why it’s good to marry myself’, which had no persuasive power.

***

And the next day. Lunch hour.

“Shujinkoo-kun, a pretty senior outside is calling you?”

“…”

Ha…

I don’t know if I should like this or hate it…

…She started coming again.

***

A week later. Wednesday.

The first semester final exams have begun.

The only sounds I hear in class are the passing of test papers and the sound of my heart.

“After…”

After taking a deep breath in the ongoing tension, I started solving the problem again.

***

Again a week later. Wednesday.

The test came to an end last Friday.

Although in the middle, Iinazuke had something to annoy me again, and my mentality was almost shaken, but I was able to gather my mind and do my best.

And today, two days after the weekend passed, the rankings were finally revealed.

[Rating Check]

First Prize: Shujinkoo Haiseki

2Nd Place: Yuna Sasaki

3Rd Place: Yoji Inazuke

6Th place: Jun Hayashi

48Th Place: Morish*ta Sakura

52Nd Place: Ichika Sato

132Nd prize: Haruta Toyoda

200Th Place: Osana Najimi

312Th Prize: Shoonen Kurutta

“Hmm…”

Looking at the rankings, fortunately I was able to keep first place.

And the 2nd and 3rd place were Yuna Sasaki and Iinazuke, respectively, and it was no different from the midterm exam.

Of course, in fourth place…

“…?”

Jun Hayashi had disappeared.

I wondered what was going on, and when I looked down a bit, I saw his name.

[6Th Place: Jun Hayashi]

“…”

I don’t know what happened, but the rankings were pretty far off.

In the original work, he was second-class in his ten thousand years, but last time he was fourth, and this time he was sixth…

Um… Well, that’s great!

Although it was certain that his grades went down because I intervened somehow, as I said before, there were so many things this guy did in the original work, so I didn’t feel guilty at all.

No, in the first place, I didn’t do anything directly to him, but it might be more strange to feel guilty.

And looking down again, you can see Morish*ta Sakura and Sato Ichika’s rankings.

[48Th Place: Morish*ta Sakura]

[52Nd Place: Ichika Sato]

“Oh…”

Honestly, I thought Ichika Sato would have fallen a little because he was so diligent in studying Korean.

But it’s rather a little, but it’s gone up… It’s amazing.

And then, when I went down again, I saw Toyoda, and Osana Najimi was nearby…

“…?”

No..?

I looked around again to see what was going on, but I couldn’t find her name.

“…”

I looked down just in case, and saw Osana Najimi, her name.

[200Th Place: Osana Najimi]

“…”

She remembers that during the midterm she was ranked 127th…

I don’t know what happened, but it went down quite a lot.

A moment of silence.

Now, shall we see the proud Kurutta?

If you go down to the last line without having to check anything else!

Yes, Kurutta’s name is immediately visible.

[312Nd Place: Shoonen Kurutta]

“Mmm!”

As expected, he was a great friend no matter what.

As I nodded at her Kurutta performance, I felt a kind of gaze.

“…”

Even though I felt it here and there because of the children who had already seen my grades, the gaze I felt was particularly intense.

Looking for that gaze, I looked around.

…As expected.

It was still close to expressionless, but I could see Yuuna Sasaki, who was looking at me with two bloody eyes.

Perhaps he is doing this because he failed to win first place again following the last time.

Perhaps if I go out of this crowd like last time, they will follow me right away.

Now, look.

“Miss Shujinko!”

Isn’t it?

“What’s wrong, Sasaki-san.”

When I looked behind her with a smile, she saw that her eyes were red with tears like the last time.

She said in an exasperated tone.

“I, I lost this time, but I will never lose next time! Let’s see!”

“Okay, let’s do our best together.”

“You can’t be strong! Ah, no… You should be strong too. Then the first place I will win in the next test will have a greater meaning.”

“Yes, yes.”

So she came to declare war on me once again, but rather cheered me on and went back. Perhaps that was her dissatisfaction, but she suddenly turned around and said,

“Be prepared because you will absolutely win!”

“…”

And as if she wouldn’t wait for her answer, she immediately disappeared.

Still, it seems that the attitude towards me is much more harmful than before.

***

And 5 minutes later.

“…”

When I returned to the classroom, she was sitting in her seat and studying extremely hard.

To the extent that I can feel the heat all the way here.

… He was a great guy.
