Hearing the anticipated response,
Sasaki, with a smile on his face, squinted his eyes in pleasure.
From the moment he spoke those words, he didn't think she would refuse.
Aside from the factor that 'kind people don't know how to refuse',
Another reason she wouldn't refuse was that she took these words as a concern between friends.
Just a normal concern among friends, and it wasn't a troublesome request at all.
If you refuse, does that mean you don't consider me a friend?
Due to these various considerations, he was naturally sure she would not refuse him.
As for whether she took his words as a confession...
If she interpreted his words as a confession.
According to Serizawa's temperament.
Then she would definitely say something like, 'We haven't known each other for long, confessing like this... it's too soon...' or 'We are not that familiar with each other... maybe we should spend more time together...' or something like that.
And when it comes to this step.
Sasaki just had to pretend to be stunned, and looked at her with confusion and said:
"Did Serizawa-san take that as a confession? It's not, you know, I'm just worried that Serizawa-san, being so kind, might be bullied by others..."
After you finish speaking, he could just say some more apologies such as 'I'm sorry I didn't speak clearly'.
And then, when she blushes and says it's okay, he could tease her with 'Did Serizawa-san want me to confess my feelings?' and such.
Of course, just saying these words in one or two sentences will suffice.
Saying too much might be counterproductive.
However, she didn't choose this option.
So, his words remained unspoken...
Looking at the shy girl, he blinked and spoke in a cheerful tone:
"Then it's settled~"
"From now on, before Serizawa-san agrees to someone's request or helps others, you have to let me know in advance~"
'Sure enough...it's the concern between friends...'
Seeing that he did not show any signs of disappointment or sadness,
The shame in Serizawa Yukiha's heart slowly receded, and she nodded with a smile: "I will~"
Sasaki, who knew that this type of person was the kind who if promised others would definitely do it, heard her affirmative answer and felt relieved.
Although it's difficult and a bit biased to label someone as bad based on a gut feeling and disgusting glances alone,
But one must not have the intention to harm others, and one must have the intention to guard against others.
After all, it's always better to be safe than sorry.
Instead of regretting after something happens, it's better to take preventive measures before it happens.
As long as there is any sign that something is wrong with that guy, he will be packaged directly to Dr. Fuji Tsubaki and asked to keep Kirishima company.
Anyway, Sasaki didn't mind having too much money.
With such thoughts in mind,
Sasaki Fuyumi and Serizawa Yukiha began their work for the day amidst laughter and jokes.
Just like the day before, today's work was also completed in no time.
Sitting in the reading area, the two chatted leisurely.
"Sasaki-kun, you've been a great help. I usually need to check for a long time~"
"The work of the two of us, there's no need to mention helping or not, it's too formal."
Shaking his head with a smile, Sasaki turned his head and looked at the door on the bookshelve side and asked, "Don't we need to take care of the study room?"
Hearing his inquiry, Serizawa Yukiha, who had just put her little melons on the table to relieve the pressure on her lower back, straightened her back and explained softly: "There are usually very few people in the study room, so cleaning it every two days is enough. The broom and such are usually kept in the study room."
"Oh, right, the broom hasn't been put back yet.
Saying that Yukiha Serizawa stood up and wanted to get a broom from the counter.
But as soon as she stood up, Sasaki, who had long wanted to visit the idiot Chifuyu in the study room, grabbed her wrist:
"I'll go. There can't be no one here.
You've been standing for a long time, so take a break. It just so happens that I haven't gone to the study room to see it yet."
Before she could refuse, he quickly stood up and walked towards the counter to fetch the broom.
Seeing Sasaki's considerate actions, Serizawa Yukiha, who was about to say 'It's okay, I can go', swallowed her words and sat down again, a faint smile appearing on her lips.
Knowing that there was a young couple studying in the study room, she didn't really want to go in.
.
.
.
Passing through the bookshelf, Sasaki took a broom, pushed open the door of the study room, and then casually glanced around.
The first thing he saw was rows of bright and clean desks.
The study room, like the rest of the library, was filled with bookshelves.
Of course, he did not have the time to go through them.
After all, on the left side of the study room, near the window, there was a man and woman sitting together.
The girl's face was delicate and cute.
Under the slender and thick bangs in front of her forehead, her two light black eyebrows were lightly knitted together, which made her innocent appearance even more pitiful.
At this moment, under her frowned eyebrows, her slightly angry and sad brown eyes were staring directly at a boy sitting next to her.
The boy's appearance could be called handsome, but sitting beside such a stunning girl, nothing looked more ordinary.
At this time, the boy was scratching his head and apologizing to the girl.
And after Sasaki entered the study room.
Hearing the noise, they both turned their heads to look at the guy standing at the door.

________________
Seeing someone coming in.
Kenta Takagi, who was in a hurry to go to the club but didn't know the reason for leaving, suddenly saw a way out and his eyes lit up.
Knowing his girlfriend was well-behaved and wouldn't embarrass him in front of others, he quickly packed away the textbooks on the table:
"Tsukimi-san, someone is here, so let's call it a day for today's tutoring."
"Next time, I'll come earlier to make up for the time I left early today."
After saying this, he slung his backpack over his shoulder, and quickly walked out of the study room, ignoring the girl's pleas to stay.
Watching Takagi, who was one head lower than him and only a little taller than the idiot Chifuyu, rush out of the study room.
Sasaki closed the door of the study room and walked slowly to the spot where he was sitting just now.
Seeing the idiot Chifuyu lying on her little watermelons in despair.
Sasaki also lowered his body and put his face close to the ear of her.
"Whose little idiot is unhappy?"
"Hmm~"
Previously, facing Takagi's broken promises, Chifuyu Tsukimi's heart was full of anger and sadness.
Angry that Takagi broke his word.
He had clearly said that he would study hard under her own guidance.
But not only was he late, but he was also extremely unfocused.
Explaining a problem four or five times and not understanding was one thing,
But when he was asked to copy the answers, he even copied them in the wrong place.
This just shows his lack of concentration.
After receiving a phone call, he even asked Tsukimi to leave.
He had promised her when they were chatting last night that he would study until the library closed.
But now, his dismissive attitude and failure to keep his word made the girl unable to help but feel sad and wonder if he didn't care about breaking up with her at all.
It was obvious that she was almost threatened, it was obvious that she stayed up late at night and hand-written the set of papers... It was obvious that she was tutoring him with all her heart...
At this moment, the girl heard Fuyumi asking softly in her ear.
And the anger and sadness in Chifuyu Tsukimi's heart suddenly turned into a grievance that was about to burst out from her eyes.
Turning her body,
With tears in her eyes, the girl wrapped her arms as tender as lotus roots around Sasaki's waist.
That sad little face filled with grievances was also buried in his chest.
Feeling the grievance of the little one in his arms.
Sasaki held idiot Chifuyu's waist, picked up her legs, and let her sit on his lap.
At the same time, he comforted her softly.
"It's okay. Everything is difficult at the beginning. Takagi is just temporarily in trouble, it doesn't mean he will always have an excuse, try to understand him a bit more. Be more considerate of him."
Chifuyu Tsukimi, whose heart was filled with grievances and sadness by Takagi, ignored that their posture had already gone beyond that of friends.
At this moment, hearing the boy's words of comfort and excuses for Takagi,
The girl, whose nose was red and sniffling, lifted her face already marked with tears from Sasaki's embrace.
"Really?"
Looking at the girl's hopeful gaze, Sasaki smiled, nodding his head.
But in his heart, he said 'sorry' to this little idiot.
He indeed did not expect Takagi to be even more miserable than he had imagined.
