CH 19

Kanna’s Point of View

Geez…

Maybe there is something wrong with Sō-chan these days after all.

But in a good way.

No, on the contrary, it may mean something terrible to me.

There is no change in the fact that Sō-chan is a kind and reliable boy.

But what is it? That feeling of being calm and composed…

What’s wrong with you, Sō-chan?

If you get any better, we might end up fighting over Sō-chan!

You can’t do that. Absolutely not!

Because Sō-chan, Sō-chan is…

I have to protect him.

Always, always.

After all, I’m alive and happy now because of you.

Sō-chan saved me back then, and that’s why I’m here now.

Even the injury he had back then was my fault…

That’s why I need to be stronger.

So that I can save So-chan this time.

More and more.

“Hey, Harukaze! What are you staring at? Come on, read the rest. Don’t tell me you didn’t hear me.”

“Uh, ah, yes…I’ll read it.”

I screwed up. I totally blew it. I don’t know. What page is it right now?

Ugh, this teacher is so scary and strict. I’m sure he’ll get mad at me later. This…　

?

Then, Sō-chan casually gestures to me from far away with his finger behind his back.

S-Sō-chan!

Could it be the second line on page 153?

I have no choice but to do that anyway.

“The society of the future will be――――”

How’s that?

“Yes. That’s enough. Okay, next.”

That’s great!

Sō-chan’s a god. I love you. Sō-chan!

Sō-chan! You saved me again!

Again…

This doesn’t seem right.

If I didn’t become a stronger woman, I’m sure Sō-chan would still reject me even if I confessed my feelings to him now.

Because otherwise, I don’t think I’m a match for him.

I should polish myself more, become prettier, and become stronger than I am now.

But if I keep saying that without doing anything, maybe someone else will get Sō-chan…

Fortunately, I’m lucky that no one is too smart to appreciate Sō-chan right now.

But I’m still a bit nervous about Sō-chan these days.

What’s that?

Uh? Otsuka? Are you looking at Sō-chan?

It’s not like Sō-chan is sitting over there answering the teacher’s question.

And yet, Otsuka is staring at Sō-chan…

No way!? Could it be that Otsuka is interested in Sō-…

Uh?

Ah, so that’s how it is.

I see. That’s it.

Geez, I’m so surprised.

Behind Otsuka’s gaze.

In other words, on the other side of Sō-chan, if you look closely, you can see Todo.

It looks like Otsuka dumped him, but maybe she still has feelings for him.

Well, they used to be so lovey-dovey.

It’s not strange.

But still, she looked at him so passionately.

Well, hang in there. Otsuka.

Fight. Fight. (In English)

I’ll do my best too.

By the way, I was so envious of the lovey-dovey relationship between Todo and Otsuka back then.

Someday I’ll be like that with Sō-chan…hehe.

I’m starting to feel embarrassed when I imagine it.

By the way, Sō-chan, you’re really cool.

“Hey, are you listening to me?”

But there is another one to watch out for.

I just remembered Hirose from another class.

She’s dangerous. Too dangerous.

If that man-eater finds out how good Sō-chan is and takes notice of him…

You didn’t do anything with her, right, Sō-chan? Well, he just started working there.

“Hey! Harukaze!”

” Eh? “

Uh?

Why…

Right now, right in front of the desk where I’m sitting, there’s a teacher who was at the blackboard just a moment ago.

“Harukaze, you’ve got some nerve today.”

” Uh, ah…”

S-Sō-chan, please help me… Is it possible?

“Come to the staff room later! “

“Y-yes…”

Ugh…I did it again.
