He had been absent for a month and a half since the festival, and when he came to school, he was still the same mob character.
He was expressionless and stared blankly at the empty sky as if he had lost all emotion.
The heroines around him are puzzled by such a Ryuzaki. Kirari, in particular, was holding her head and groaning in distress.
Azusa also looked at Ryuzaki, albeit from a distance, and was stunned. The only one who remained the same was Yuzuki.
Always devoted, she would probably accept Ryuzaki no matter how much he changed. But that does not seem like a good thing.
If she accepted a ruined person, there would be no room for rehabilitation.
If Ryuzaki is content with the status quo, there is no point. It didnāt seem possible that he, in his current state, could make the heroines happy.
(Is Ryuzakiās romantic comedy really overā¦?)
I had felt that way somehow after the incident with Mary-san.
Once again, I realized it.
No, but ⦠there must be something more.
Because if it ends here, no oneās feelings will be rewarded.
If there is even the slightest possibility, it is Yuzuki, but even if ⦠that girl and Ryuzaki in his current state were to get together, I wonder if they would really be happy.
Even that was doubtful, Ryuzaki was finished.
(Also, if there is some leverage, maybe Ryuzaki will come back from the deadā¦)
Mary-san, who took on that role last time, has gone the other way, though, and has driven Ryuzaki into a corner.
Itās about time for a new heroine to appear on Ryuzakiās side⦠just when I was thinking that, she appeared after all.
āGood morning~ ⦠Oh, Ryuzaki-kun has come to school too! Thatās very good, but I have one more piece of good news~.ā
Just as I thought Suzuki-sensei had arrived, a female student came from behind her.
āāāā¦āāā
At that moment, the classroom suddenly became quiet.
My first thought was, āPink?ā Iām sure thatās the same for everyone.
Her hair was pink. Her eyes were red and her hair styled in twin-tails. She was small and slender. Her style was probably similar to Shihoās.
There was no doubt that she was cute. Although not as outstanding as Shiho or Mary-san, she was at least on par with Kirari and Azusa in terms of appearance.
However, her eccentric hair color overshadowed the impression that she is cute.
However, she herself does not seem to be bothered by her hair color and is unconcerned about it.
Her mousy expression is somewhat grumpy. The corners of her eyes were also turned up and it looked as if she was glaring at someone.
āAh, you canāt come in yet. I thought Iād introduce you as a surprise~ā
The teacher angrily replied in a pacing voice, but the pink girl inscribed her name on the blackboard without paying any attention to that.
āā¦Kururi Kurumizawa.ā
Having said that much, she bowed her head.
Perhaps she meant to introduce herself? Even if she was being unsociable, she seemed to be short on words⦠and classmates were giving her puzzled glances.
But after all, she is still standing tall, paying no attention to the stares of her fellow classmates. Now she was glaring at the teacher. It was as if she was saying, āHurry up and make me sit downā.
āEh, erm⦠Letās see, ⦠thatās right, this is Kururi Kurumizawa-chan⦠Itās sudden, but due to her parentsā work, she transferred to this school. Please make friends with her, everyone~!ā
Suzuki-sensei started to speak on behalf of Kururi Kurumizawa-san. However, she bent her lips into a smile almost reluctant to do so.
āYou donāt really want them to get along with you, do you?ā
Suzuki-sensei shrugged her shoulders as she muttered something like that in a grumpy tone.
āā¦Yes, yes, Iām sorry~. Thatās how it is, so please donāt befriend me~.ā
Ah, she is being a hassle.
The type of teacher who doesnāt really put a lot of enthusiasm into her duties was quick to be spoon-fed.
Well, I understand how she feels. I thought she seemed like a pretty difficult girl.
But I feel that her appearance at this time is ⦠some kind of intention. She is surely not an ordinary character.
(After all, isnāt Ryuzakiās romantic comedy over yet?)
Iām not sure yet, but ⦠maybe Kurumizawa-san is a character for leverage, just like Mary-san.
I thought it was about time we had a heroine of the type that would bring Ryuzaki back to life. I am sure she is the one.
Otherwise, his romantic comedy wouldnāt work.
I really hate Ryuzaki, though.
Still, for the sake of the heroines, who still say it has to be him, I wanted⦠to somehow bring him back⦠I just wish he could get some kind of a revival.
