Mizuto stabilized the large bookcase so it wouldn't fall anymore. Even if he hadn't chosen the "Gladiator" job, with his physical strength, it was easy for him to do this, but as he had chosen this job, if he wished to, he could lift the bookcase with ease.
Nevertheless, he sighed in relief as there was no accident any longer except for the books, which were all messy as they had fallen from the bookcase.
Still, as the danger disappeared, Mizuto looked at the female student, who pushed the male student so the falling bookcase wouldn't crush this male student. Frankly, he wondered why this female student dared to do this, and the male student was so weak, like he was a damsel in distress, letting the girl almost be hurt.
Looking at the brave female student, Mizuto asked, "Can you stand up?"
"Ah..."
The female student wanted to say "yes," but only an awkward "ah" came out from her lips. She tried to stand up by using her hands as a pillar to support her. Yet, as she tried to stand, her legs became weak, and she lost all of her power and was about to fall again.
Fortunately, Mizuto was close, and he caught her.
"Don't force yourselves. If you can't stand up, I will help you."
"Um..."
She didn't expect Mizuto to hold her waist and hand firmly. Nevertheless, it was her first time being so close to the opposite gender, and instead of hating intimate gestures, she wanted to lean on him more.
"You are a kind girl, but don't do this dangerous thing again."
Mizuto had to say that this girl was beautiful and had a cool, aloof charm, which made her appear like a guy and could do everything in the eyes of others, but even so, she was a girl. While she was taller and seemed stronger than most girls, the falling bookcase wasn't something that she could hold on to.
Nevertheless, he had to say she was beautiful.
Her hair was about shoulder length with a black and blue color, and her figure was slim. She was also taller than most girls, and frankly, she would be perfect for a model.
Yet, somehow, his words put the girl in a daze. "...I am kind?"
Mizuto felt weird at the first sentence that came out of this girl's mouth, but he nodded. "Of course, if you are not kind, then you won't save your friend, right? But once again, you are a girl, after all. You should shout for help instead of trying to save him by yourself. It will be a shame if a cute girl like you is hurt, right?"
When an aloof and cool girl like her blushed, he had to say this gap was destructive.
"Cu-Cute..."
The girl felt her face was so hot that she couldn't think anything properly and just leaned on him, wishing to rely on him all the time.
"Are you embarrassed? Haha, how cute."
"..."
The girl looked at him in shame, knowing she was being teased.
However, Mizuto couldn't tease this girl anymore since Akatsuki was behind him and asked with concern. "Are you okay? No one is hurt, right?"
"....."
As Akatsuki touched his waist, Mizuto was afraid that he might be hurt if he continued teasing this female student, so he put the female student, whom he had saved, on the chair before he looked at the male student, who was still in a daze.
'This guy...'
Mizuto felt like he had seen this guy, but Akatsuki quickly recognized this male student.
"Oh, this guy is..."
"You know him, Akatsuki?" Mizuto looked at Akatsuki curiously as he knew that she was more knowledgeable about all the students in the school.
"This guy was also there when your head was bleeding after a girl fell on top of you."
"Now that you mention it..." Mizuto thought about Shikimori, the cute girl he had saved before, and remembered that this guy was also there when Shikimori was around. Nevertheless, he only shook his head and thought that it was normal since this guy should be Shikimori's boyfriend, right?
Yet, Mizuto wondered whether it was okay for Shikimori to come to him even though she had a boyfriend.
However, it wasn't his problem as they didn't know each other that much. He looked at the female student again and said, "Sit here and rest. We'll help you to arrange the books."
"Ah, um, thank you..." The female student nodded shyly, then looked at Mizuto's back before she noticed Akatsuki, who was standing behind him. Still, at this moment, the male student she had saved also started to recover and quickly asked in concern, "Ka-Kamiya-san! Are you okay? You are not hurt, right?"
"...."
The female student stared at the male student for a moment before she looked at Mizuto once again.
At this moment, Akatsuki, who helped Mizuto arrange the books, looked at Mizuto and said in a low voice, "She is cute, huh?"
"You are cuter."
Akatsuki smiled, then said, "She is quite famous after all."
"I don't have an interest in her. You don't have to introduce her to me."
"Really? Are you sure? If you want, you should be able to get her."
"Akatsuki..." Mizuto looked at Akatsuki and said, "I know that I might be unfair to you, but it isn't like I will sleep with anyone as long as they are female and beautiful. Compared to her, you are more important to me."
Akatsuki stared at Mizuto, smiled, and then moved closer. "Really? Am I important?"
"Yes." Mizuto put the books that had fallen into the bookcase again, then said, "In the future, if you haven't found what you want to do, be my secretary; that way, you won't have to leave me."
"Haha..." Akatsuki laughed and said, "That's it. It's settled. I will be your secretary in the future."
"...really?"
"Really!"
"You shouldn't make your future plan just like that, you know?"
"It isn't something I have made on a whim. I have met you, and I want to be with you."
For him, she could do anything.
Yet, she didn't say it since she was afraid that this guy might get naughty once again.
"By the way, let's do it, okay? Let's create the "History Research Club"!"
"..." Mizuto.
Still, as they flirted, the girl Mizuto had somehow also recovered, and then she stood up before she walked toward him. "Um...."
"Yes?" Mizuto stopped his conversation with Akatsuki and looked at the girl curiously.
"Thank you for saving me." The girl bowed her head and thanked him sincerely.
"It's okay. I just happened to be there. You don't need to bow your head like this."
"No, if you are not there, then I might be hurt. You have saved me."
"While you don't need to exaggerate it that way, I will accept your thanks."
"Um." The girl looked at him shyly, then took her courage and said, "My name is Ai Kamiya from Class 1-5. Nice to meet you, Irido-kun."
"You know my name?"
"I don't think there's anyone in the school who doesn't know your name, Mizuto," Akatsuki added.
"....." Mizuto looked at Akatsuki speechlessly, then said, "Well, Kamiya-san, nice to meet you. While you know my name, let me introduce myself. My name is Irido Mizuto from Class 1-1."
"Um, nice to meet you again, Irido-kun." Kamiya thought for a while and felt like she needed to do something since Mizuto had saved her, but—
"Mizuto, it's almost time."
"Oh, right." Mizuto looked at his black Casio CA53W-1 and then looked at Kamiya again. "Sorry, Kamiya-san, I have something to do. The books have been arranged, and you should rest if you feel uncomfortable. Bye."
"Ah, um, bye."
Kamiya watched Mizuto and Akatsuki leave, feeling a bit lost.
Only the male student was silent and wasn't sure what to do.
Nevertheless, when Mizuto was about to leave the library, Akatsuki said, "If you meet her again, I believe that you can take her lips," causing him to pull the black ribbon tie, which she used to tie her hair in a ponytail.
"Ah, give me back my ribbon!"
As the two flirted once again on the concert band, Reina had a little trouble.
