In the afternoon, when the bell rang to start the first class, Shidou had to come out from the stairs and walkway. With great courage, he came to the door of the class, and then bravely walked in.
However, what he didn't expect was that when he walked in, the classmates in the class did not stare at him, even the girls who had been "tainted" by themselves...
Because their eyes at the moment were all focused on the other person.
At this moment, the man was wearing the uniform of Raizen High School, with the corners of his mouth raised slightly, revealing a charming smile, and he was sitting upright in his seat. The moment Shidou saw the man's figure, he couldn't help but froze...
Just because that person was sitting right in front of Shidou's seat.
"Katsu..." Shidou's eyes instantly turned red, his lips couldn't stop trembling, and he ran towards Katsu.
"Katsu!" Shidou stood in front of Katsu and called out in a trembling voice.
"Hey, isn't this Shidou? Long time no see." Katsu greeted Shidou with a smile.
The surprise in Shidou's eyes almost overflowed, just when he was about to say something.
The door to the classroom was pushed open again, and the history teacher with gray hair and a stern personality walked in - this period was his class.
He glanced across the class slightly, and his eyes stopped on Shidou who was standing in front of Katsu. Although he was slightly stunned when he saw Katsu, out of class discipline, he still coughed dissatisfied: "Shidou-san, please go back to your seat and sit down."
"Ah, yes!"
… …
In class, Shidou looked at the backs of Katsu in front of him, and the dark clouds that had accumulated in his heart for many days were swept away. The empty space in his heart also felt filled again. Although it was a history class that he didn't like, his mood was happy.
'It's great...it's great...Katsu is back...it's great...he should be able to deal with the new spirit.'
Shidou couldn't help but think about it, and then he couldn't help but look at Katsu again---
Although I don't know why, I feel a little weird, but it doesn't matter. As long as he comes back, everything will be fine...
The lesson passed quickly in Shidou's happy mood.
The bell rang for the end of get out of class. Seeing the teacher clearing up the podium and leaving the classroom, Shidou immediately stood up and called Katsu: "Kat..."
However, before he could say anything, Katsu's seat in front of Shidou was immediately surrounded by the girls in the class.
"Katsu-kun, Katsu-kun! Have you been away for more than a month?"
"Katsu-kun, why did you come back?"
"We all thought that you, like Kurumi, would not come. I was sad for a long time~"
"Yes, yes, it scared us to death. By the way, Katsu, are you free after school?"
"..."
The chattering girls gave Shidou no room to speak.
"Oh, everyone is so enthusiastic..." Katsu, who was surrounded by girls, waved his hands with a smile.
However, even though Katsu only said one sentence, Shidou immediately frowned. He felt that something was wrong with Katsu. Although he didn't know what was wrong...but this feeling was very strong.
Suddenly, Shidou felt someone put his shoulder on his shoulder. When he turned around, he saw that it was Tohka.
"Ah, what's wrong with Tohka?"
"Shidou, it's great, Katsu is back!" Tohka's face was full of excitement and joy, and the smile that had not been seen for many days appeared on his face again.
"Ah, yes, that's great." Shidou suppressed the weird feeling in his heart and said with a forced smile.
… …
The second class is physical education.
In the locker room, Shidou looked around but couldn't find Katsu...
Arriving at the playground, when they were gathering, Shidou saw Katsu---he had already changed into sportswear...
In the first half of the class, Shidou trained strictly in accordance with the teacher's requirements. Shidou did not find a chance to talk to Katsu. In the second half of the class, he was free to move around. Shidou found Katsu immediately, grabbed his wrist and said with a complicated face: "Katsu, you …"
"Ah, isn't this Ai-san? He looks very cute in gym clothes~" Katsu broke away from Shidou's wrist, blinked his left eye at Ai who was passing by, and said with a smile.
Ai suddenly blushed, her face a little shy, but she also ran away with unconcealable joy.
Katsu, however, ran after him and continued to tease Ai with some words that made people blush.
"..." Shidou watched silently without saying a word. He still had some luck in his heart. He even picked up his mobile phone several times, wanting to call Kotori's number and confirm if Katsu was still in the life-saving cabin of Fraxinas' upper medical room but for some reason the dial didn't work
Sighing and shaking his head, Shidou tried his best to think in a good direction - for example, Katsu slept for too long, so his energy was too high, etc...
Then, just as Shidou was thinking this and subconsciously looking for Katsu again, he saw Katsu standing under a tree, lifting the chin of a pretty girl from another class and speaking with a gentle expression. He didn't know what he was talking about, but Shidou could clearly see that the girl was blushing terribly at this moment, but she didn't show any resistance at all...
"...Maybe Katsu just wants to practice how to defeat the spirits..." Shidou comforted himself.
… …
After the physical education class, when Shidou went back to the locker room to change clothes, he specifically looked at Katsu's wardrobe---it was not moved...
"Maybe...Katsu bought new sportswear."
After returning to the classroom to pack his things and prepare to go home, Shidou saw Katsu again - he had changed back into his normal school uniform.
"Maybe... Katsu changed his clothes in the toilet."
At this moment, two figures appeared at the door of the class—Yuzuru and Kaguya who heard the news that "Katsu has returned to school."
I saw Kaguya's and Yuzuru's red eyes looking at Katsu who was teasing a girl next to him with a smile. Shidou couldn't help but clenched his fist slightly.
"Katsu..." Kaguya called Katsu at the door with a cry, but Katsu didn't seem to know that he was being called and continued to joke with the girl next to him...
Shidou clenched his fists. At this moment, Shidou was tapped on the shoulder again. He subconsciously turned around and saw Tohka's somewhat bitter expression.
"Shidou...is he really Katsu..." Tohka frowned and looked in the direction of Katsu and said in a low tone.
"...Probably...No..." Upon hearing Tohka's words, Shidou's heart beat violently, and he whispered back. The trace of luck that he had been desperately holding on to had disappeared.
Shidou is not stupid. Based on the current situation, and thinking about what Tohka told him about what he did in the morning, how could Shidou not understand that Katsu was most likely to be impersonated just like him in the morning? ... He should have thought of it a long time ago, but he just didn't want to think about it---
