With Shiina Hiyori's help, Kanda Shuichi easily got the middle school textbooks he needed, and they were all in one collection, which was very convenient.
However, after that, Kanda Shuichi didn't continue going to the library. Studying in the dormitory was just as good.
A high-quality beautiful girl suddenly approaching him made him a bit uneasy, always wanting to suspect her intentions.
In the past two days, Kanda Shuichi spent his mornings reading in the dormitory and his afternoons participating in club activities.
The weather in May is gradually getting warmer, and it seems like the energy inside the body is also starting to revive. So, Kanda Shuichi guessed that he wasn't just lying in bed for half a year.
If he had only been lying in bed for half a year, his body wouldn't be this weak after a month of normal life.
On Monday, the class seemed to return to normal because Hirata had paid for many students' tutoring fees in advance, so they didn't have to eat the mountain vegetable set meal every day.
Even Sudou, who had a rebellious look last week, was trying hard not to fall asleep in class.
It seemed like the seniors in the basketball club had told him something.
But soon, Kanda realized he was wrong. Sudou left the class immediately after the afternoon classes ended, followed by Horikita Suzune.
After waiting for a minute and seeing no one else leave the classroom, Hirata started the first study session for the class.
Then...
[First-year Class D student Kanda Shuichi, Ayanokouji, homeroom teacher Chabashira-sensei has something to discuss with you. Please go to the teacher's office.]
After hearing this announcement three times, Kanda Shuichi gave Hirata Yosuke a helpless look and left the classroom, followed by Ayanokouji Kiyotaka, who was also called.
What's going on with Chabashira-sensei? Why is she calling me now? I'm very busy, and she even brought this monster Ayanokouji along.
"Kanda, do you know why Chabashira-sensei is calling us?" Ayanokouji asked on the way to the teacher's office.
"How should I know?"
Although he said this, he was still a bit worried. Could it be that she's upset because I took the 2 million investment but didn't take any action?
If that's the case, she should go after Hirata. I'm just the spokesperson; Hirata is the mastermind!
Looking at Ayanokouji beside him, Kanda Shuichi felt a headache. Although their relationship wasn't unfamiliar, they rarely had the chance to talk.
But if they didn't say anything along the way, it would seem deliberate. After all, they were classmates, both boys, and their seats were close.
"By the way, Ayanokouji, do you think Hirata can be a good class leader?"
"Huh? I don't know. But if it's Hirata, it should be fine, right? Didn't you recommend him, Kanda?"
A reasonable answer, typical of a normal student.
"No, Hirata was just pushed into the position. At that time, he was the only candidate. Although his ability is decent, he's not fit to be a leader.
A leader can't be too kind or too righteous. Hirata understands this but can't make the right decisions. If it were me, I wouldn't allow the advance distribution of points. Even if we had to eat the mountain vegetable set meal for three or four days, it wouldn't be a big deal."
"Then why didn't you..."
"Didn't I say? I can't even recognize all the students in the class, so I can't lead the class. Ayanokouji, your memory doesn't seem to be very good."
...
While chatting, the two arrived outside the teacher's office.
The door was open, so Kanda Shuichi could easily see inside. Apart from the health teacher Hoshinomiya Chie, no one else was there, so Chabashira-sensei was obviously not there. This was a bit troubling.
As for why he knew the health teacher, it was because Kanda Shuichi had once visited the health room with a senior from his club. Ah, who knew archery could be such a dangerous activity.
But what was Chabashira-sensei doing? She called us over but isn't here herself. Is this some kind of prank or revenge?
"Chabashira-sensei doesn't seem to be here. Let's wait outside."
"Should we ask..."
Before Ayanokouji Kiyotaka could finish his sentence, Kanda Shuichi stepped back, making way and gesturing with his hand, clearly indicating for him to go ahead.
Ayanokouji, feeling a bit helpless, knocked on the open office door.
Knock, knock, knock.
"Excuse me, is Chabashira-sensei here?"
"Huh? Sae-chan? Hmm—she was here just a moment ago."
With slightly curly medium-length hair, the health teacher Hoshinomiya Chie, who was also the homeroom teacher of Class B, had a very lively personality and was very close to the students, quite the opposite of Chabashira-sensei.
"It seems she left her seat for a moment. Do you want to come in and wait?"
"No, I'll wait in the hallway."
Ayanokouji Kiyotaka seemed to want to avoid any trouble, so he immediately declined Hoshinomiya's offer. But when he returned to the hallway, he found that Kanda Shuichi was gone.
Gone...
Then, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka was caught by the homeroom teacher, who introduced herself forcefully.
"I'm the homeroom teacher of Class B, Hoshinomiya Chie. Sae and I have been best friends since high school, and we call each other 'Sae-chan' and 'Chie-chan'."
Around the corner, Kanda Shuichi breathed a sigh of relief. Good thing I ran fast.
As for why he ran, well... because he had visited the health room once with Club President Sato during club activities.
Then he started imagining Chabashira-sensei calling the other teacher "Chie-chan"
Ahem, after all, Chabashira-sensei is still better.
"What are you doing here?"
The sudden voice from behind startled Kanda Shuichi.
"Chabashira-sensei, why didn't I hear you walking?"
"Really? My high heels are working just fine today."
Alright, you win. I admit I was distracted and didn't hear you.
But then, Chabashira-sensei understood why Kanda Shuichi was there.
"What are you doing here, Hoshinomiya?"
While Ayanokouji was lost in thought, Chabashira-sensei suddenly appeared behind Hoshinomiya and hit her on the head with a clipboard.
Ouch, that looks really painful.
Are these two really friends?
"Ouch, that hurts~~ What are you doing!"
"It's because you're bothering my student."
"He said he wanted to see Sae-chan, so I was just keeping him company until you came back."
"Just ignore him. Ayanokouji, sorry to keep you waiting. This place isn't very convenient, let's go to the counseling room. And you over there, come out too."
Hearing Chabashira-sensei's call, Kanda Shuichi had no choice but to come out from the corner.
As soon as he came out, he saw Ayanokouji Kiyotaka's resentful eyes.
Alright, I know I was wrong, please forgive me.
