Chapter 2155: A Normal Day
Before Shio arrived in our classroom, I got grilled by my girls' questions. Nonetheless, it wasn't that much different than our usual morning flirting. Our class had already gotten used to seeing me surrounded by them. Moreover, the usual banter between us never missed painting the walls of our classroom in a vibrant shade from the constant laughter it brings to everyone - including those who were just watching from their seats.
Ah. Of course, a select few of the boys scowled or frowned as sour looks occupied their faces upon seeing me getting all that attention.
Thinking about that Anti-Ruki Club. I won't be surprised if some of them are part of it. They should be approached by whoever founded it, right?
I wonder what they're cooking up behind doors. Will they start moving against me? Maybe not yet. My influence is still ridiculously high. My name will keep existing among the rumors flying around in our school.
And even if they show up, I'm not that worried. I'll just crush them if they try something against me or the girls around me.
.
Anyway, enough about that.
When I mentioned befriending Akane's friends to my girls, all of them, including Aya who trusts me blindly, eyed me suspiciously.
It was understandable why they reacted like that.
Among the girls I considered friends, most of them have already become one of them. For example, Misaki.
Then there's Sachi. Considering how I just promised the girl that pool date this summer vacation, our relationship could also change over time.
No amount of explanation from my side can make them accept that it will stop at simply being friends...
In their heads, it's only a matter of time...
Through my honesty and transparency, I did tell them that all I did was try my best to accommodate them last night. It's not my fault that the former started calling me her boy best friend and the latter got unconsciously drawn to me after our unintentional intimate interactions.
Uh... But I get it. It's pretty useless to wash my hands completely from it. If I only did the bare minimum, they probably wouldn't be comfortable sleeping in the same bed and room as me... It's my notorious considerate trait that's to blame.
I'll continue hoping that things will somehow change or return to normal...
Time passed and with Shio's arrival, our morning classes started with her language lesson.
Nothing significant happened during the lesson. In any case, given our relationship, I couldn't help but admire her throughout it, and with my observation skills, I couldn't help but notice Shio's gradual shift from the stern lecturer on Day 1 to an amicable teacher that everyone looks up to.
How should I say it? I feel proud that she's now fully accustomed to her job as a teacher. This is her first year and a lot has happened to her during her first few months.
It was clearly an excuse but she made it sound like she wanted to rewrite her memories between us in that stall.
However, we didn't get to do anything too indecent because several girls from other classes also entered the restroom and stayed there a lot longer than we'd hoped for.
We had to keep quiet or we'd easily get caught considering how even a small noise could echo
out of the stall.
We sneakily bided our time with Hana straddling me, exchanging silent kisses that seemed to be enough for the girl before escaping back to our classroom.
Also, Hana ended up sweating a lot because of nervousness. It's rare for that to happen so I teased her a lot on our way back, causing the girl to be upset with me.
I appeased her with more kisses outside the classroom just before our teacher for the 4th
period arrived.
With all the morning classes ending, the inevitable lunch arrived again.
Our plan for today was the same as yesterday. Eat in that clubroom with everyone.
Once again, I decided to pick up the other girls from all three floors of the School Building.
However, on my way to pick up Marika and the other 3rd year girls, I ended up running into
someone I didn't expect to see today...
"Ruki, what are you hurrying for?"
"Oh. Onoda-kun? How are you on this floor?"
As I was rushing at the staircase leading to the third floor, I stopped on the turn after seeing the alluring senior that I hadn't seen in a while along with her friend from the same club who was Enomoto's childhood friend.
"Reira-senpai and... Nikka-senpai. What a coincidence!" My head quickly worked out a response along with my lips stretching into a pleasant grin, greeting the two of them.
I tried looking past their shoulders, expecting Enomoto there. However, he's surprisingly not
around...
Is he not accompanying his childhood friend to lunch? Possibly.
