Chapter 73 – Seating
Perhaps because it was the day the seats were rearranged, the classroom was noisy even in the morning.
The emotions buried in the faces of the students were diverse.
Some were thrilled, some thought so, and some were annoyed.
In Miyuki’s case, she stood at her desk calming the noisy students.
“Guys, can you stop talking? The professor will come.”
She tapped her desk lightly with the tip of her notebook.
As the commotion subsided, she put on a satisfied expression, scanning the room with her eyes and looking at me with a sullen demeanor.
“Matsuda-kun. Leg.”
He extends his long index finger and flicks it downward, which somehow seems provocative.
Resting my legs on the desk, I let out a soft snort.
“Your shoes didn’t reach you.”
“Putting your legs on the desk itself is strange.”
“This is comfortable, would you like to try it?”
“Get down immediately.”
I grumbled a little with an expression full of annoyance and lowered my legs obediently.
Afterwards, as we pulled up a chair and quietly sat down at the desk, Miyuki looked around at the classmates and said,
Drooling.
A balding professor entered and looked around the room.
After a short conversation with Miyuki, he immediately got to the point.
“If you are taller than 175, stand at the back.”
Five men, including myself, got up and went behind.
Among them was Tetsuya, who managed to pull up due to height restrictions.
He can’t hide his excitement with eyes full of anticipation.
Do you want to be able to sit next to Miyuki? The dream is big too.
“For now… Matsuda.”
“Yes.”
“You go to the very back by the window.”
Hearing the professor’s words, I twitched my lips.
The corner by the window with one side blocked is the best place to do various things with your partner.
I quickly went to the window.
When I was giggling, sitting in a corner right next to the window, the professor let out a blank laugh.
“Is it that good?”
“Yeah, what… I like it.”
“Don’t fall asleep like you used to just because you sat in the back seat. Or should I move to the front seat?”
Move it somewhere.
If you want to see my empty seeds sown in the wedding photos in your bedroom.
“I am working hard these days. Please watch over me even if I fall asleep sometimes.”
Laughter erupted in the classroom.
It’s funny that he’s going to do something different.
Stunned by my confident reaction, the professor shook his head.
“It’s you, it’s you. Igarashi and Miura go to the center, Takeda and Ozawa go to the corridor.”
Tetsuya, sitting next to me a block away, smirked.
“The place was fine. Best of luck in the future, Matsuda.”
Come to think of it, Tetsuya and I only switched positions.
Shaking my head, I pointed to the desk where I was sitting.
“Let’s change this after the first period.”
“Table? Do I have to change it? Yours and mine are equally clean.”
Who knows you’ve got your snot under your desk.
“I like my desk. I got it.”
“Did you hear the truth…?”
“Uh. So change it.”
“OK got it. But your desk smells strange…”
“What smells you bastard?”
“No… Wait a minute…”
Tetsuya, who raised one hand like a private investigator, opened her nose and began to sniff her.
“Is this apricot scent…? No, is it a peach?”
Listening to his guess, I snorted her inwardly.
Tetsuya was smelling Miyuki’s plum scent.
As Miyuki’s clothes in the closet at home moved to the hanging uniform, it faded slightly, leaving only a sweet and sour scent.
The guy managed to figure it out.
I couldn’t figure it out exactly, though.
“Do you have any idea how strange you look right now?”
At my tone, which oozes pathetic, Tetsuya stings and scratches the back of his head.
“Sorry. Wasn’t it a bit perverted?”
“Do not talk to me. Dirty.”
“It’s too much.”
By the time we were having a small talk, classmates rushed to the lecture table and lined up.
They took papers one by one from the pockets prepared by the professor.
It is very interesting to see the faces of the students sitting in the front row contort.
Soon after, the students who were to sit in the seats in front of me approached.
People I know well.
The identities were the baker and the vice-captain.
“Oh, hello… Matsuda-kun…”
“Please take care of me. Matsuda-kun.”
Having familiar acquaintances come around the main character is a cliché of all school dramas, including love comedies.
I said with a satisfied smile.
“Please take good care of me, Bread Girl.”
“Uh, ugh…”
“Glasses girl, you too.”
Upon hearing the name, the vice-captain said in a spirited manner.
“A girl with glasses… My name is Honoka. Natsume Honoka.”
That’s a pretty name
I’ll forget it in 10 minutes anyway, but I’ll remember it until then.
I roughly raised one hand in an apologetic gesture and looked at Miyuki, who had been standing there beside the professor until the lottery was almost over.
Are you the last one to be chosen because you’re the class president?
Seeing that the seat next to me is still empty, it looks like Miyuki will come…
There are a few people left… No, there are a few, so I’m a little uneasy.
As she was thinking about that, Miyuki, who met her eyes with her professor, gave her a small nod, and then she packed her bag and approached.
Then, I put the bag on the desk where I was sitting.
“Move this aside.”
A calm tone, mixed with a little charm.
I asked with a smile on my face.
“Are you going to sit with me?”
“…. Yes. I told the professor It’s getting better these days… So I’ll keep an eye on you so you don’t get into an accident.”
That’s what I said last time.
They said intervening would be cheating… The desire to be with me must have far surpassed the guilt and burden.
As I moved Miyuki’s bag aside, she said a favor to her baker and glasses woman, and she sat discreetly in her seat.
A plum scent that spreads out. I think it will be really fun in the future.
“Hello, Tetsuya-kun.”
Miyuki lifted her head and greeted Tetsuya brightly.
Tetsuya waved his hand awkwardly and greeted him.
“Hello, Miyuki.”
His face was as bright as Miyuki’s.
The fact that she is close to her is in good shape.
However, her eyes were a bit dead, and it was clear that she was disappointed that Miyuki was not by her side.
Especially since you’re next to me, you’ll be concerned.
“Matsuda-kun, if you do something else during class, you’ll get scolded.”
Miyuki asked me to raise her index finger.
Freed from my thoughts, I put my hand on the back of my head and put my hand on it.
“I’m already tired.”
“Let’s study hard together.”
“Don’t be annoying.”
“I’m going to bother you so much… If you don’t like it, tell the professor to move to the front seat. I’ll go with you.”
Miyuki and I, pretending to be awkward with each other and pretending not to be funny, secretly made eye contact and giggled quietly.
My heart is beating already.
Miyuki probably feels the same way as me.
From now on, everything will happen here, so I hope you like it.
“Aren’t there people who have trouble seeing the blackboard?”
Some students raised their hands at the professor’s words.
The professor, who listened to their opinions and adjusted the arrangement separately, said in a stern tone when no more complaints were received.
“Everyone, take out your books. Class begins.”
Pulling her chair up close to cover Miyuki, I tucked her hair behind her ear and gently placed my hand on her thigh as she opened her book.
“..Hehe…!”
Miyuki cleared her throat and pushed my body with her own shoulder.
I already felt like I was being ridiculous.
Seeing her mischievous smile at her, I wrote small letters on her textbook and pushed it to Miyuki’s desk.
[I’m going to continue like this, but if you don’t like it, ask the professor to move it.]
Did I hate myself for returning what I just said?
Biting her lower lip, Miyuki lowered her hand holding her sharpie down to the bottom of her desk and lightly pricked the back of my hand on top of her thigh.
After that, I started to concentrate on the class as if nothing had happened.
Until she changed her seat, there was no feeling of forcing herself to come to the academy to see Miyuki, Renka, or Chinami…
Maybe starting today, I might go to school happily every day.
**
“Matsuda-kun…! Don’t touch me at all times…!”
The time before afternoon classes are over and club activities are ahead.
In front of the stairs to her rooftop, Miyuki scolded me.
Her face was flushed.
As a result of touching her inner thighs or waist during class.
I said with a naive expression on her face as I saw her in a slightly heated state.
“I like it, but why?”
“What do you like…! My reaction was interesting, so I kept doing it…”
“Then don’t you?”
“…. Stop it. What if someone sees it… If it gets into the professor’s ear, it will be a penalty point… There are enough reasons…”
“Don’t you really?”
I bent over her upper body and brought her face closer to the question with a smirk. When Miyuki rolled her eyes, she answered with a creeping voice.
“My, if I want to do it… Don’t do it until then…”
Seeing you say that, I guess my hand was good.
Maybe you felt a bit thrilled?
In the beginning, I will be sensitive like now, but if I start with a weak touch and let her adapt, and gradually dull her vigilance, Miyuki will rather touch me first.
Especially in the winter when you wear thick coats, you will be bolder.
“It’s too cruel to take permission.”
“Cruel… Am I a bad person?”
“They told me not to do it even though they knew I couldn’t stand it, didn’t they?”
“How do I know Matsuda-kun can’t stand it…! I didn’t even say…”
“Do you know if I have to say that? Anyway, I’ll try to restrain myself.”
“Be sure to restrain yourself… I was having a hard time…”
“Where and how was it difficult?”
“…. Shocking…”
Miyuki smiled lightly and changed the topic by gently straightening the crumpled sleeves of my uniform.
“I don’t think I can go to Matsuda-kun’s house tomorrow Friday. Great for family trips.”
What kind of thunderclap is this?
There must be a family trip event only in winter, right?
“Family trip?”
“Yes. Yesterday, my dad suddenly wanted to go to Nikko, so he said let’s all go together. But since I’m going on Friday and coming back on Saturday evening… I’ll stop by then.”
Father-in-law, I’ve been looking good lately, but why are you trying to deviate?
If I do this, I might eat my bad heart?
It’s a short distance from Nikko, but I didn’t want such an unexpected situation… It’s a pity.
No, think positively.
This is a revelation to take care of the event with Chinami.
I couldn’t catch the timing to go to eat ice cream because I was stuck with Miyuki every time, but now I have to meet Chinami.
“I can’t help it. Bye. Talk to me when I have free time, and make video calls before going to bed.”
“Okay… Now I’m going to go to club activities… I’m going to be late.”
Miyuki tugged at my hand and ran it between his fingers.
You don’t want to part like this.
Saying things like that but acting differently is like an immature girl going through puberty.
Silently feeling Miyuki’s expression of affection under the guise of a massage, I pointed at the top of her head with the other hand from her.
“A few strands of her hair were floating. It looks static.”
“…Then sort it out…”
She takes a step closer to her and looks up at me with her groggy eyes.
Are you doing this on purpose? It seems to be possessed.
I said, carefully tidying up Miyuki’s hair.
“Call me as soon as you return from your trip. I’ll go pick you up.”
“…. Yes. I’ll buy you a present…”
It’s a gift… I hope it’s something like a bracelet.
Be proud of yourself in front of Tetsuya.
