68. She changed

Then, the chairman cleared her throat once more and took a deep breath. And from his mouth, really unexpected words came out.

“Great! Yes, Haiseki-kun, if you have the will, it’s not impossible at all. I’ll tell you directly that this happened. Haiseki students, do you have any thoughts of becoming a promotional model for our academy?”

“…”

That was really unexpected.

***

“…?”

Did I hear that wrong?

“PR..What?”

Then, as if I hadn’t heard wrong, the chairman spoke again clearly.

“Haiseki students, please be our academy’s promotional model.”

“…”

Huh…

Since we are frozen in an unimaginable situation, the chairman continued.

“Ah, you don’t have to worry. Just take a few pictures and leave a good comment about our academy.”

“…If that’s the case, what are you doing with it?”

When I asked how to use the photos and writings, the chairman replied with a smile.

“hahahaha, it will be included in the promotional booklet and used. To our junior high school students, ‘handsome’ and ‘number one in the school’, Shujinkoo Haiseki, leaves a good word about our proud Heebon Academy. Wouldn’t that be good enough publicity?

hahahaha, Haiseki students are already famous among teachers for being handsome. So, don’t be burdened, just take a picture for a while and leave a message.

Ah, Chairman Lee is not a shameless person to the extent of ending it here. Don’t worry, the duduk will pay you the compensation. How about it, isn’t it worth a try?”

“……”

I’m going into a promotional brochure…

I didn’t really need money. As long as it’s not an incredibly large amount of money, it’s money that comes in as you want.

So that’s not a big advantage for me.

So the only thing left is that I can choose my school trip destination…

It wasn’t a huge benefit in itself, but it didn’t make it a big deal to go into the booklet either.

I don’t know if my face appears on the front of the booklet, but it will be literally at the level where there is a promotional article I wrote along with my face on the inside page of the booklet.

Low risk, low return.

“Hmm…”

…But even so, you need time to think about it. I decided to ask for the president’s understanding.

“I think I need some time to think about it. Is that okay?”

Then the chairman answered as if it were natural.

“Ahh yes, Haiseki student. You only need to let us know within three days. But after that, it will be difficult to meet the schedule, so please understand.

Big! And… In consideration, I want Chairman Lee to remember that he will never do anything that harms Haiseki students.”

“Ah… Yes, I understand.”

After that, after a few words, I hung up the phone with the chairman.

“Ha…”

As I was sighing exhausted from the phone call, Iinazuke asked me.

“What’s going on, Shujinko-kun?”

I said to her, nibbling at her already cooled rice.

“The chairman wants me to be a promotional model for our academy.”

“A PR model?”

“Uh. Take a few pictures and write a good article about our academy, and I guess they write it in the brochure given to middle school kids.”

“Hey-… It’s amazing. So what about Shujinko-kun?”

I was thinking for a while with my eyes fixed on the bowl of rice, then I said.

“Well… I don’t know. They say they give you money and a school trip map so you can go wherever you want… To be honest, I don’t need money and I don’t really want to go that way.”

“…? You’re going to go anywhere you want on a school trip?”

I replied calmly to Inazuke’s question.

“No matter what I wrote on the paper for my school trip, I thought I was going to go to Kyoto anyway, so I wrote down Korea and submitted it. In the first place, the chairman decides where to go, so he said he would let me go if I just do this.”

“Hey…”

Then, at my words, Iinazuke stared at me and gave me an interesting look.

Why was he doing that? After thinking about her for a while, she opened her mouth.

“I thought about it before, but Shujinko-kun is really interested in Korea? You know the language and culture well.”

“…”

I did something, and it seemed like it was strange that I knew about Korea well.

“Hmm… I don’t know what I’m interested in, but I do know a little bit.”

Then Iinazuke muttered something in a low voice.

“Hey… Let me get hungry too…”

“…? Pear what??”

Ii Nazuke asked what I was saying because I understood a little bit what he was muttering, and she shook her head.

“Ugh, nothing.”

“…?”

What..?

That was the time when I was questioning the guy’s words.

Giying-

Giying-

This time, Iinazuke’s cell phone started ringing.

And the name stored as [High School Director], Visible on her mobile phone screen far away.

Perhaps this is also the matter of a PR model. It may be that they are passing it on to the children who have high grades and want to be good looking.

As I was guessing at the intention, Inazuke answered the phone.

And the call that followed.

The call lasted about 10 minutes.

“If Shujinko-kun does it, I’ll do it too.”

It ended with her words

.

“…”

At her last words, she was saying no way. As expected, a phone call from the chairman.

When she answered his phone, he said half pleadingly.

“Haiseki students, will you serve as promotional models? Are you thinking positively? Chairman Lee believes that Haiseki students will listen. Is that okay?”

I grasped the situation from his seemingly urgent words, and I dealt with him moderately, then hung up the phone and asked Inazuke.

“…Have you been offered a promotional model?”

Then she smiled and nodded her head.

“Yes!”

“Did you say that I would do it again and quit?”

“Yes!”

“……”

Ha…

What is he…

Byeolgyeol is trying to catch up.

***

The next morning.

“Toyoda Good morning, and Osana.. Super good morning.

I arrived at class and was studying when Toyoda and Osana Najimi entered the class.

“Good morning Shujinko-kun.”

“Huh!”

And when I said hello, Osana Najimi chewed my words and went to her seat.

.

***

It’s time for lunch.

Today, when I went up to the roof with my senior, the lunch box was placed in the same place as before.

As usual, the lunch box carefully wrapped in a cloth.

However, there was a difference from before, and that lunch box was changed from the 5th floor to the 1st floor.

This is what I agreed with her yesterday, and instead of eating with her, I promised to bring her a small amount without overdoing it like before.

I was a little worried that I wouldn’t keep it… But fortunately, it seemed that there was some flexibility in this area.

“Shall we eat, then?”

“Yes… Juniors…”

So I started eating her bento with her.

“…”

How long has it been?

“Hmm…”

Come to think of it…

While she was eating her meal with her, I suddenly started to think of the past.

At the beginning of her first semester, the day she and her first met began to come to mind.

I definitely remember that the atmosphere when we first met was not that good.

Angry at the damage she suffered because of the rumors I spread unintentionally, she pushed me hard.

In addition to the cold gaze, the coercive and aggressive interrogation made even me break out in a cold sweat.

Even now, when I think of that time… I get chills, albeit a little.

It was truly terrifying.

“…”

But.

The way she looks now…

“Junior, would you like to eat this? If you open your mouth…”

“…I’ll eat it.”

“Uh, yes…”

“…”

When I said something, it immediately lowered its tail… It was just like a puppy.

I wondered since when did this happen… But he decided to put it aside for a while because it was a meaningless thought.

***

It’s time to go home.

Today was a work day at the breeding grounds, so as soon as the academy was over, I ignored Osana Najimi’s words to wait for a while and headed straight for the breeding grounds.

“…”

But there is one guy who catches my eye. The guy smiled and he was following me beside me.

It wasn’t Rico. Because she was already out before I even left.

The guy next to me is Yoji Inazuke. He was like a chewing gum that would follow me if I did anything.

“…”

As I glanced at him, she turned her head and replied with a smile.

…Yesterday and today as well. I have no idea why he wants to follow me every time.

We walked with her for a while and arrived at the kennel, where Igiris Rico greeted us.

“Welcome everyone. Eh? But why did Inazuke-chan come?”

While doing so, Riko Igirisu asked Inazuke.

Yeah, I was curious too. Why did you follow me?

And then I heard her answer.

“Um… Just?”

“…”

Heh heh…

I couldn’t help but laugh at her answer.

You have nothing to do.

But Igirisco seemed to have taken him differently, he said to the two of us.

“Eh? Um… Are you two dating?”

“…”

It was the same with Osana and Namiji before. There was no doubt that he was seriously lacking in discernment.

While I was dumbfounded by her words, Iinazuke shook his head.

“Yeah, we’re not dating yet, we’re just childhood friends, Rico-chan.”

“Eh? A childhood friend?”

“Yes, Shujinko-kun and I have been friends since 10 years ago.”

Then, surprised by Inazuke’s words, she said.

“Eh? Really?! It’s been 10 years? But the two of you hardly ever talk at the academy? So I didn’t know…”

“…”

Come to think of it, it definitely seems like that.

It’s not wrong, she and I hadn’t really had a conversation in school before.

While she was amazed at the fact that she had learned anew, Nazuke Ii answered.

“Shujinko-kun hates me talking to him at the academy…”

While doing so, she gave a pitiful expression.

“…Hey. I’m trash, then.”

But she still had a pitiful expression on her face.

“…”

But it was also true… I couldn’t even refute it.
