Or maybe it was just a subconscious action after being shy?
Thinking about the unconscious leg-crossing behavior of Otome when she was shy last night, and when the fool Chitose was shy this morning.
After thinking about it, Sasaki still didn't make any excessive moves.
In the process of getting along with girls, under their tacit consent, Sasaki doesn't mind occasionally making some outrageous actions or words.
Just like holding the hand of idiot Chifuyu, or hugging her occasionally.
Because your initiative, in the case of the girl not disliking it, can bring the two people closer.
But on this basis, Sasaki always remembered 'haste makes waste'.
Appropriate exceptions can make a girl aware of your affection and concerns for her.
Going too far will only make her realize that you are a bastard who wants to cheat her.
Excluding some girls who have ulterior motives towards you and those who don't care about such matters.
Normal girls would not like boys who, like a lecherous monkey, only think about that kind of thing.
And given Sasaki's current situation, what could be more egregious than pinching?
No matter what he was doing, even if Haruno Kasumi had the possibility of 'hinting', he couldn't go any further.
Because the relationship or feelings between the two, had not reached that point.
If it were that idiot Chifuyu... then she would have to take a leave this afternoon...
Gently pulling out his hand.
Sasaki felt the smooth feeling of friction between the soft elastic stockings and his fingertips with a calm expression, and silently continued the previous actions.
Looking through his fingers, seeing that he was not looking at her with a weird gaze.
After Haruno Kasumi crossed her legs, her suddenly tensed body slowly softened.
'He really knows the hearts of girls well...'
Lying softly in Sasaki's arms again.
The girl blinked her sparkling eyes, closely and carefully looked at his serious and focused profile.
Of course, she knew that Sasaki was startled for a moment after she crossed her thighs.
But the fact that he could take care of a girl's dignity, pretending as if nothing happened, already makes him better than many boys.
After all, those guys whose brains are full of vulgar thoughts are the ones who take advantage of any small opportunity and seldom consider the feelings of girls.
The appearance of someone who couldn't wait to glue their eyes onto a girl was one of the reasons Haruno Kasumi always rejected those crazy bees and butterflies.
Thinking about how annoying those guys were made her feel even more appreciative of Sasaki...
Pondering over the boy's vast merits.
As the girl's cheeks became even redder, she felt Sasaki gently squeeze her calf.
Then a subtle voice of inquiry rang in her ears.
"It should be about time, try moving your leg to see if it's still numb."
This questioning voice sounded like a mosquito, as if it was a signal.
The moment the voice ceased, the girl, who was nestled in Sasaki's arms, sprang up as if her buttocks were fitted with springs, swiftly leaping out of his embrace.
It was hard to imagine that Haruno Kasumi, who was so talented, could do such quick and agile movements.
Not knowing the surprise and emotion in Sasaki's heart.
At this moment, Haruno Kasumi, having regained her mobility, wanted nothing more than to quickly leave this embarrassingly awkward place.
Thus, after hastily gathering herself, she ran out of the rooftop without even a goodbye.
Originally, in her mind, she wanted to say goodbye to Sasaki and Ayato and leave as if nothing happened.
But facing Sasaki's gaze, the girl felt her body going soft and her thighs heating up, finding it extremely difficult to act normally around him.
Last time it was her feet, this time it was her legs, and she didn't dare to think what would be next.
As for saying hello to her brother...
That would only make her more ashamed.
Thinking about what she had just done with Sasaki, and then casually greeting her brother to come over now, would inevitably give rise to a strange feeling in Kasumi Haruno's heart, as if 'we are done here, you can come over now'.
Such shameless and strange thoughts.
Made her descent down the stairs even quicker.
Watching the girl dash off without even looking back,
Sasaki hadn't turned around when Haruno Ayato, who had already walked up beside him, patted him on the arm.
"Sister Kasumi ran off so quickly, without even saying a word."
Turning his head to look at the boy, who seemed oblivious to everything, Sasaki did not test anything and merely whispered, "She probably remembered something."
Then, he gestured with his head.
After saying that, he raised his head towards him.
"Let's go, we can still have some rest when we get back to work."
"Sasaki-kun, haven't you slept enough?"
"With nothing better to do, should I read a book?"
"Good point."
…...
Time passed slowly like fine sand in the palm of the hand.
The clouds in the sky became darker and darker, and it wasn't long before school was over for the day.
Sasaki, still somewhat dazed while sitting at his desk, snapped back to reality when he saw the idiot Chifuyu gently waving her hand to him before leaving the classroom door.
'Oh, it's time for school to end...'
The feeling of waking up to find school has already ended... Hmm... was a bit... peculiar.
With a resolve in his heart to pay more attention in class next time,
Sasaki, with his backpack slung over his shoulder, slowly walked out of the classroom.
But before he had fully descended the stairs, a sound of a porcelain bottle breaking echoed from the corridor leading to the library.
However, he didn't pay attention and continued to go downstairs at the same speed.
But the subsequent scolding that followed made him quicken his steps, hurrying to the corner of the corridor.
"It's you again? How many times has it been? Have you always been so careless in your work?"
Glancing sideways, it was the homeroom teacher of their class, Ayako Takamine, standing with one hand on her slender waist and the other supporting the shattered vase on the ground, sternly reprimanding someone.
Looking at Teacher Ayako's exquisite figure from behind, Sasaki stood at a distance behind her, looking at the person she was scolding.
'It's the janitor from this morning...'
Dressed in a deep blue cleaning uniform that hung loosely on him, his head, covered by a dark blue cap, was slightly lowered, as if he was unable to lift it because of Takamine Ayako's rebuke.
He kept waving his hands and gave an extremely reluctant explanation, as if he wanted to prove his innocence.
"I didn't do anything, it broke on its own..."
Hearing this ridiculous excuse, that seemsd to be fooling children, Takamine Ayako's sharp eyebrows furrowed because of anger, couldn't help but jump, and her words became even more angry.
"What are you talking about? Even if you're going to make excuses, at least find a plausible one. Do you think I'm that easy to fool?"
"Stop making excuses."
"Okay, okay, Ms. Ayako, please calm down first..."
Standing next to Ayako, another teacher holding a stack of 'Library Book Inspection Forms' tried to mediate.
When both sides were arguing.
Before Sasaki arrived, Serizawa Yukiha, who was watching the show next to him, took small steps and walked behind Takamine Ayako.
"Um... Teacher..."
Takamine Ayako, who was very dissatisfied with this janitor because of the many complaints from students, was giving this guy a stern warning when a soft call suddenly sounded from behind her, causing her to turn her head.
"What is it?"
Arriving at Takamine Ayako's side.
The girl glanced at the janitor who was dirty and hanging his head low, appearing somewhat pitiful, and softly spoke in his defense.
"The vase was already broken before I arrived here; it's not the janitor uncle's fault. I was actually planning to go to the library to get a broom..."
"Is that so?"
"Yes, it is."
The sharp eyebrows that were knitted together were slightly relieved by Yukiha Serizawa's explanation.
However, this did nothing to change Takamine Ayako's disdainful gaze towards the janitor.
Although she didn't see him staring at the female students with her own eyes.
But there is no smoke without fire.
It's okay if one, two, or three or four girls complain, because the possibility of pranks cannot be ruled out.
But a dozen girls came to complain one after another, so there could only be something wrong with this handyman.
Therefore, Takamine Ayako, who had never changed her mind, straightened her slender waist, stretched out her hand to lift her slipping glasses, and her sharp blue eyes coldly glanced at the janitor, who showed a hint of joy.
"Mr. Kitou, for the sake of my student's explanation for you, I'll let this matter slide. But before you do anything next time, you better be careful."
"Okay, okay."
Knowing that a few words of warning might not be very effective,
She continued, "If I receive any more negative complaints about you, you'll have to explain yourself to the administrative office."
After saying this, she no longer paid attention to the annoying man.
"Serizawa, Sasaki has become the librarian, right? Did he give you his confirmation letter? I needs it for submission."
Turning her head to look at Serizawa Yukiha standing by her side.
Knowing that this girl's studies and conduct were impeccable, Takamine Ayako's harsh demeanor softened into a spring breeze-like smile, gesturing towards the old librarian next to her.
"Hello, teacher~"
Taking out the confirmation form Sasaki handed in yesterday from the pocket of her pleated skirt, the latter greeted her respectfully.
Not paying attention to the small talk of several people.
Lowering his head to clean the vase fragments, Kitou Masami bent over and carefully looked at Serizawa's beautiful and plump body from bottom to top.
Thinking of what he had just gotten a few days ago, Masami Kitou, with his face hidden under a duckbill cap, slightly curved the corner of his mouth.
