ââAnd then the teacher got mad at me because of Shota.â\n
âNo, youâre just as guilty as I am. Iâve never forgotten that you used me as bait!â\n
âFor the time being, Sasakura-kun and Emura-kun, can you please stop causing problems every time?â\n
After listening to Minato and Shotaâs foolish talk, the class rep sighed as if fed up.\n
But her face is smiling, so I know sheâs enjoying it.\n
After all, the class rep is a good match for Shota and Minato.\n
Well, thatâs because of her broad-mindedness, I guess.\n
By the way, the story of Minato and Shotaâs foolishness is that they were on cleaning duty on the day Nekoto-chanâs idol groupâs CD was to be released, and the teacher caught them when they tried to sneak out somehow.\n
I wasnât on cleaning duty that day, so I didnât get involved. But Iâm pretty sure that the teacher caught Shota, who was led (tricked) into taking the bait by Minatoâs clever words.\n
These days, Nekoto-chan and her friendsâ CDs sell out quickly on the day they go on sale, probably because theyâre from the area, so I can understand why theyâre in a hurry, but itâs not okay to break the rules.\n
If the same thing were to happen to me, Iâd probably finish cleaning quickly and then make a mad dash to the store to buy it.\n
Thatâs what Iâve been doing on days when Iâm on cleaning duty.\n
Well, that being said, Shota, Minato, and the class rep should be able to talk about it even if they are left alone. The problem is the girl next to me who is currently eating her lunch like a small animal, shaking her head from side to side.\n
She sometimes listens to Shota and the others and giggles, so she must be paying attention to what they are saying. But as usual, she doesnât want to get into the conversation.\n
She seemed to be enjoying herself, so it might not be a problem to leave her alone, but I didnât feel comfortable doing that.\n
Thatâs why I decided to drop out of the conversation with the class rep & others and talk to Saotome-san.\n
âSaotome-samâs bento looks delicious. Did your mother make it for you?â\n
When I asked her, Saotome-sanâs face turned to me as if she was a little surprised.\n
But when she understood the question she was being asked, she shook her head from side to side.\n
âHuh? Is it possible that Saotome-san made this?â\n
This time, she shook her head vertically vigorously.\n
ă\n
It seems that Saotome-san is making her own lunch box.\n
Saotome sanâs bento looks delicious, with tsukune dumplings, shumai, bell peppers, potato salad, and fried eggs with spinach.\n
Itâs honestly amazing that she makes all of these by herself.\n
âYouâre a good cook, arenât you, Saotome-san?â\n
I told Saotome-san what I honestly thought.\n
Then, for some reason, she shook her head.\n
The cheeks I could see seemed to have a slight blush.\n
It seems that she was embarrassed by the compliment\n
As I thought sheâs kind of cute.\n
âSpeaking of which, youâre going to the next concert too, right, Yorito?â\n
While I was smiling at Saotome-sanâs blushing and fidgeting figure, Shota started to talk to me about the concert.\n
I wanted to watch Saotome-san a little longer, but I couldnât just ignore him when he asked me something.\n
I turned my gaze to Shota, feeling somewhat regretful.\n
âOh, of course. How could I not go?â\n
âOh yeah! Iâm looking forward to itâ\n
Shota seemed to be looking forward to it and was now thinking about Nekoto-chanâs concert.\n
Iâm also looking forward to Nekoto-chanâs concert.\n
Itâs not an exaggeration to say that Iâm working hard on my daily training for that day.\n
âIf my father were to hear about this, he would probably beat me up and throw me in the mountains for a few months.\n
âYou have completely become an idol otaku âŠâŠâ\n
âClass Rep?â\n
The expression on the face of the class rep who was eating next to me suddenly darkened, and I became curious and called out to her.\n
Then, after a confused expression, the class rep shook her head.\n
â itâs nothing!!!! I was wondering if I can go to that concert.â\n
â â âEhh?â â â\n
The Class repâs voice which she raised as if she was trying to cover something up, was overlapped by mine, Shotaâs as well as Minatoâs.\n
âBut Class rep, Youâre not interested in idols, are you?ăWhy are you coming then?â\n
Minato, who has a poisonous tongue, except when dealing with younger people, asked what the class rep is thinking.\n
I felt the same way, though I didnât say it out loud.\n
The class rep had never shown any interest in idols before, and even now she didnât seem to like them.\n
I didnât know what she was thinking when she said she wanted to go to an idol concert.\n
âItâs fine. I want to see it too. I want to see the idols that Kazehaya-kun and the others are so much into.â\n
I wonder why, but she replied with her mouth forming a slight pout.\n
To be honest, I still donât know what the class rep is thinking.\n
But Minato and Shota seemed to have realized what the class rep was thinking\n
â âAh, enemy scoutingâ â\n
âEnemy scouting?ăCould it be that the class rep wants to become an idol?â\n
â â âWhy would you think that?â â â\n
As I interpreted the words of Minato and Shota, Minato, Shota, and even the class rep became angry in unison.\n
âI mean, since going to see an idolâs live performance is being called an enemy scouting, I thought you were trying to go observe them because you want to be the similar idol⊠â\n
âIâm amazed at how dense you are sometimes.â\n
âSeriously, rightâŠâ\n
âI mean, Sasakura-kun and the others are wrong, too! Iâm just curious and want to go see it! â\n
âThatâs not the caseâ\n
âSasakura-kun, Could you notâŠâŠ!â\n
When I thought I was somewhat fed up, the class rep and Minato began to argue.\n
Rather, the class rep is unusually angry, and Minato is fanning the anger of the class rep.\n
It would be rare to see such a scene.\n
And Saotome-san, who has the least tolerance for this kind of thing, was sitting next to me, flustered and upset.\n
She glanced up at me, perhaps expressing her desire for me to stop Minato and the other?\n
Normally, I would have tried to stop them, but since I didnât quite understand the flow of the conversation, it was hard to interfere.\n
So, I decided to let the class rep & Minato do what they wanted.\n
ă\n
The two of them wouldnât get into a terrible fight, and it would be over soon if Minato just let it slide like he usually does.\n
Iâm sure there will be retaliation by the class rep after that, but thatâs about it.\n
Itâs Minatoâs fault for agitating the class rep, so I pretend not to know.\n
âItâs okay Saotome-san. You see, people say âclose enough to quarrelâ right? Those two are good friends, so theyâre just playing around.â\n
When I said that, Saotome-san tilted her head slightly, but she immediately nodded her head in agreement.\n
It seems that Saotome-san is as straightforward and understanding as her quiet appearance.\n
âIs it okay for the source of the problem to pretend that you donât know whatâs going onâŠâŠâ\n
âWhat?â\n
âNo, itâs nothing.â\n
When Shota muttered something dumbfounded, I answered back. But he gave a big sigh and then shook his head.\n
ă\n
Iâm not sure if I did anything worth being taken aback.\n
ă\n
Itâs a bit of a shock to be taken aback by Shota.\n
â [close enough to quarrel]âŠâŠ But I donât want to get into a fight with Kazehaya-kunâŠ..â\n
And next to me, Saotome-san was muttering in a voice that I could barely hear. It seemed that I had planted the wrong idea in her mind.\n
Well, that being said, Nekoto-chan and her friends are very popular these days and the tickets are already sold out.\n
So either way, the class rep couldnât possibly attend the next concert.\n\n
