70. Decision

70. Decision

Then she tilted her head. However, contrary to the expectation that she would immediately answer, “I don’t know,” She answered as if she was thinking about it for a while even to a somewhat out of the blue question.

“Um… Well? I can’t say it’s not possible, but… Still, there’s no way people in the world in anime or cartoons can think like this? I can’t even feel emotions. The pleasure I feel Things like happiness and anger are real, so wouldn’t that happen?”

“……”

At her words, I felt something indescribable.

***

How long has it been since then?

“After…”

After a time that was neither long nor short, we were able to finish everything we had to do.

However, Osana Najimi and Igiris Riko are fighting each other without leaving even after everything is finished.

After the ramen argument last time, I watched the conversation between the two of them, and they were fighting over which anime was better.

“…”

…It was nothing short of crazy.

While I was looking at them with a pitiful gaze, Iinazuke suddenly started staring at me.

She notices him and shifts her gaze to her, and she smiles at her once in a while.

“…?”

What is it? Why are you doing that again?

As I was seriously contemplating what my ulterior motive was this time, Iinazuke told me.

“I don’t think you need to come with me from now on, Shujinkoo-kun.”

Her words were unexpected.

“…?”

Suddenly? No… I’m fine, but…

At those words, I was a little taken aback.

“Why?”

“Why, would you like me to stay with you, Shujinkoo-kun? Then we will continue to be together-“

“No no no. Nothing like that at all. Just for some reason.”

When I vehemently denied her words, she put her hands behind her back and put her index finger to her lips and said,

“Um~, well?”

“…?”

Then she continued to be silent.

“…Well, is that the end?”

“Huh? What?”

“…”

And she just continued to avoid answering my questions afterward.

***

The next morning.

Ichika Sato greets Iinazuke and I when we go to school today.

“Hello! Shujinko-kun! Inazuke-chan!”

She greeted us in Korean as always.

“Good morning, Sato…”

She is staring at me whether or not I put on a ‘prize’.

“…”

I’m not used to it yet, so I often mistakenly attached a prize, and that’s what it was like.

She nodded her head in satisfaction when I finally succumbed to her gaze and didn’t give her a ‘prize’.

“Yes, yes!”

And one after another, Nazuke Ii greeted her.

“Good morning, Sato-chan.”

“Yes! Good morning! Iinazuke-chan!”

She greeted me with a Korean pronunciation that was still not clear.

And Ichika Sato, who likes that figure.

She is not particularly interested in Korea, but the reason why she dares to do that is probably because Sato Ichika likes her so much.

But according to what I heard from Ichika Sato himself, the reason she likes Iinazuke’s greetings is not because he was with them.

Although they say that he likes it because such a pretty child greets him with a slurred pronunciation.

3Rd period break time.

“…Hey, Shujinko-kun, is it okay for a second?”

“…?”

“It only takes a moment, huh?”

Iggyris Rico came to me suddenly and asked to see me for a while.

In the midst of her doubts, I accepted her request and headed to the empty hallway with her, and soon arrived at her destination.

Then she hesitated for a moment before opening her mouth.

“Um… Hey, Shujinko-kun. I’m asking because you’re close with Najimi-chan…”

“I’m not friendly.”

“… Huh?”

“I’m not friendly. Don’t even say that.”

“Oh, yes…”

When I took a firm stand at her outrageous words that went beyond her limits, she agreed, even while being flustered by it.

I decided to forgive her for what she did earlier, so I went back to the main topic and asked her.

“So what are you talking about?”

“Ah, yes… That’s true…”

And her story continues.

According to what she had heard, the contents were roughly as follows.

In short, these days, Oh Sana Najimi tells her that her Japanese are honorary white people, and she keeps calling Korea, the country next to her, Korea, and cursing it, showing her strange side.

In addition to that, he said that he even showed a lot of soup that he thought was too much…

If this guy was going to pass by with gukppong, you wouldn’t know how bad it was… No, I couldn’t even imagine it.

What on earth did he say that he is doing this..?

While I was shocked at the bizarre thing beyond my cognitive abilities, she continued.

“So, why is Najimi-chan doing this?”

She seems to be genuinely concerned about Osana Najimi. Seeing that, I answered seriously.

“There is a thing called Net Rights in Japan, and judging from what he says, he seems to be obsessed with it. Hmm… What is Net Rights…. And once you fall for it, it’s hard to fix it. You fall into confirmation bias. That means there’s a high chance you’ll continue to do so. So, Igiris. If you’re uncomfortable with it, rather than try to fix it, just walk away from him. It will be the best.”

After I finished my sincere advice, she hesitated for a moment, then nodded her head weakly.

Lunch time.

“……”

“……”

“…Me, senior?”

“Eh, huh? Why, Junior?”

“Can you please stop sticking?”

“Huh? It didn’t stick very well…?”

“…”

A senior who is getting closer to me while we are eating together.

I tried to ask her to stay away from me, but she just came closer.

And.

Koo-wook-

A strange tactile feeling.

“……If you don’t come out now, we won’t eat together again.”

“Ah, yes… Okay junior…”

In the end, I couldn’t stand it and threatened her once, and then she separated from me.

“…”

But after a while, she starts to come close to me again.

Ha…

“…Get off.”

“Uh, yes…”

…A very tired man.

5Th period break time.

Satou Ichika came to ask me about Korean after a long time.

Come to think of it, as her Korean skills got better and better, it seemed that the frequency of her asking me questions was getting less and less.

Well, I am the only one who has the same interest in Korea, so whenever there is a topic, he comes to chat with me, although it hasn’t drastically decreased yet.

As always, she told me what she was curious about and chatted with her for a while. I suddenly remembered a story I had with her chairman the day before yesterday and asked her.

“Sato, if only.”

“Huh?”

“If you could go to Korea for a school trip, how would you feel?”

Then she suddenly gets excited and slams her desk with both of her hands and starts talking.

“Then it’s really, really, really good!!! I’ve been wanting to travel to Korea since I was in my third year of middle school, but my parents are so conservative that they told me to come in before 10:00, so overseas was absolutely impossible! Why, why?! There’s a possibility Are there rumors I haven’t heard?!”

I was a bit taken aback by the words she spat out in her rapid fire when she was excited, and I told her.

“No… That… From what I’ve heard, I think there’s some possibility.”

“Really?!?! Ugh-!! I really hope so!!”

And at the same time she likes her immensely and at the same time stamps her feet in her place.

“…”

I wondered if I had asked for no reason… But when I saw him like that, I felt like I should.

***

That evening.

“Hello.”

“Ah, aren’t you a proud Haiseki student at Heebon Academy? This mayor is-“

I called the chairman.

“…”

And then his candy coating.

Tired of the endless sugar coating, I finally decided to cut him off.

“I’m sorry, Chairman. I don’t have much time… Then… What you said before-“

“Ah! You mean a PR model! Yeah, how are you?!”

When I brought up the topic of the PR model, the director raised his voice nervously.

“… That… I’m going to do it first.”

As soon as I revealed my intention to accept it, the chairman became excited and started showering me with praise.

“Definitely! Good choice! Haiseki students!! Chairman Lee is really happy to be able to teach such wise, wise, and righteous students as Haiseki students..!”

“…Ah, yes…”

And then his excited words continued for a long time.

According to the fact that he brought only the core of his words, which are mostly praised, it is said that the destination of the school trip will be announced tomorrow, and the schedule as a publicity model will be announced at a later date.

That’s how the long conversation with the chairman ended.

Looking at the clock, just in time for dinner, I came down to eat, and I saw Inazuke talking on the phone with someone.

“Yes, then I’ll do it too~.”

And with that, she hangs up on her phone.

“…”

I felt like I knew the situation… Even if I didn’t have to say it.

…A guy like a chewing gum.

The next day. 2Nd period break time.

The homeroom teacher suddenly appeared in the class during break time, sat the children in their seats, and started talking.
