Chapter 1 â Naoya Ookusu \nVolume 1\n<hr class="wp-block-separator is-style-wide">\nWe were talking about what had happened earlier while grabbing our lunches with chopsticks.\n
In the end, the teacher didnât come back after that. Even though it had been about 10 minutes since lunchtime, Enami-san was still out of the classroom.\n
âThat was a messâŚâ\n
Shindo said as he held the bento in his hand and shoved it into his mouth.\n
âItâs rare to see Shiroyama so pissed off. It was a bad idea to come here when he was in homeroom class.â\n
âBesides, she was even worse than usual, wasnât she?â\n
Heâs right. No matter how much of a delinquent Enami-san is, to go that far is just a bad idea. It was totally a bad matchup today.\n
âif it was a two-dimensional beautiful girl, she would have a cute side to her. But Enami-san just has a bad personality, no matter how you look at it.â\n
Saito, for some reason, was sucking on a slice of lemon.\n
âWell if she was a two-dimensional beautiful girl, she would have a surprisingly clumsy or whiny side to her. You can be sure there isnât.â\n
I gave a nod to Shindoâs words. More than half a year had passed since I had been in the same class as Enami-san, but I had never seen her lose that glacier-like attitude. There had been many people who had talked to her out of curiosity, but they had all been brushed off coldly.\n
However, Enami-san does have only one friend.\n
ââŚâŚ Nishikawa, she always hangs out with her, doesnât she?â\n
Saito murmured.\n
We looked at the girl talking loudly in front of us. She was a gyaru, dressed in her school uniform and wearing a lot of makeup. But despite being a gyaru, she is friendly and has a wide range of friendships.\n
I guess thatâs what you call communicative power. I think sheâs great too.\n
Even though we are otaku, we sometimes have conversations with Nishikawa, who suddenly enters our conversation when we are enjoying talking about otaku things. No matter what weâre talking about, she doesnât back down and just listens to us with interest, saying something like,â so thatâs how otaku isâ.\n
Thatâs why we didnât have a bad impression of Nishikawa.\n
That was when the door at the back of the classroom opened\n
 âŚâŚIt was Enami-san.\n
It seems that she has been wrung out, and her expression is unhappy. She took her seat, brushing her hair, not caring that we were looking at her.\n
Seeing this, Nishikawa cut the conversation short and made her way to Enami-sanâs side.\n
âSure enough, she seems to be upset. If I were in Nishikawaâs position, Iâd leave her alone.â\n
Shindo nodded his head in agreement with my words.\n
âIâd like to learn from her courage to go on a suicide mission there.â\n
As if she noticed our conversation, Enami-san glared at us with a sharp look. I hurriedly averted my gaze.\n
Even so, when I listened to them while avoiding being noticed, Nishikawa seemed to be talking cheerfully to Enami-san. At first, Enami-san ignored her in frustration, but she gradually lost her patience and replied with a few words.\n
Saito exhaled in a huff.\n
âThanks to Nishikawa, it looks like the matter is settled once and for all.â\n
The classmates who had been watching Enami-san when she returned to the classroom also felt the atmosphere easing and started chatting again.\n\n
I finished my lunch and was lazing around when Fujisaki came in again.\n
âOokusu-kun. Shiroyama-sensei wants to see us.â\n
I had just put my head on the desk and was about to fall asleep.\n
What could he want? I raised my head and looked at Fujisakiâs face.\n
âI donât know much about it either, but I was asked to come to the staff room with you.â\n
Weâre on the class committee, so weâre often asked to do chores. However, it wasnât often that we were called in during the lunch break.\n
âAll right. Letâs go.â\n
I started walking and Fujisaki followed me.\n\n\n\nWhen we walked into the staff room, Shiroyama-sensei was cleaning the spaces between his teeth with a toothpick.\n
When he noticed us, he wrapped the toothpick in a tissue and threw it away.\n
âSorry to call you here so suddenly.â\n
He turned the swivel chair to face us.\n
âItâs no problem. Whatâs the matter?â\n
Then the teacher scratched his collar and looked apologetic. What is it? I have a feeling that I will be forced to do something very troublesome.\n
Fujisaki also has a dubious expression.\n
âYouâve seen what happened today, right?â\n
We didnât need to ask what he was talking about. We nodded our heads.\n
âSheâs been a lot of trouble lately, you know. She doesnât listen to the class, she gets bad grades, sheâs always late, and she doesnât seem to care when we complain about her. Sheâs not in any club activities, and sheâs not making any significant achievements.â\n
âThat sounds terrible.â\n
Itâs a fact.\n
âI threatened to expel her, but that was only a last resort. Iâm a teacher, and I want my students to be happy. Dropping out of high school would not be good for her either. So I want to rehabilitate her at all costs.â\n
After he said that much, I had some idea of what to expect. The reason why we were called in. The reason why we were summoned right after what had just happened.\n
ââI have a favor to ask you.â\n
Thatâs what the teacher said.\n\n
<hr class="wp-block-separator is-style-wide">\nTN: Well, time for the event I suppose.\n\n
