[Net King] Chasing footsteps

The door of the classroom was opened with a soft "crash", but it was still very loud because no one was in the teaching building after school was over.

Tezuka, who was originally in deep thought, raised his head, reached out and pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and then looked in the direction of the door——

"Ah, Tezuka-kun, are you still there!? I thought there was no one in the classroom."

Eyes met, Sa Yejia was stunned for a moment, then greeted with a smile.

"Well, there's something wrong."

"Well, I'm so sorry, did I bother you?" asked a little nervously.

"……without."

"Really? That's good." He secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Disturbing someone can easily leave a bad impression on the other person, especially if this person is not an ordinary "other person".

It fell into silence for an instant.

Saeya paused for a while, and decided to continue with what she was going to do.

"That... Tezuka-kun."

There are clearly two people in the classroom but it is so quiet that you can hardly hear the sound of breathing. This feels really embarrassing.So after rubbing the blackboard with a rag for a while, Rongzi couldn't help but lowered his voice and started the topic cautiously.

"……Um."

"Tezuka-kun... seems a little troubled?"

"..."

There was a silence.

She had to turn her head to check whether the other party was still paying attention to her words, but she happened to meet the sight that was watching her from behind——

He is surprised.

Although the expression on his face seemed to be calm and calm, she just knew that he was very surprised by her words.

"Are you worried about... the grouping of the school ranking competition?"

"……what."

He was silent for a while, and simply replied.

She should probably thank him for not wondering how she knew what he was thinking.Sa Yejia said to herself from the bottom of her heart.

"I heard that this year's first grade has a very good freshman... Are you hesitating whether to put it in the group?"

"..."

"Although I don't understand it very well, but as a member, as long as you have enough ability, of course you should be in the position. This has nothing to do with age, does it?"

"..."

"Also, if you want to see a person's strength clearly, you have to give him enough stage to show it, right!"

"...That's right."

Nodding his head, he looked down at the grouping form on the table.

"...Ah, I talk too much..." Sayeja suddenly realized that she seemed to be talking too much, and covered her mouth nervously.

Oops, this kind of thing should be decided by Tezuka-kun himself, she is doing a lot of things by the side!

"Ah, no, not at all."

The person who was still staring at the form gave a succinct answer.

"Y-Is that so? That's good, hehe..."

"Tezuka—"

When Sayaka was worried about how to turn the conversation on, God sent someone to "relieve" her crisis——Dashi happened to push the door in at this moment, and it was probably a classroom with no one else, Therefore, before the person walked through the door, he opened his mouth to ask questions——

"Have you booked the intramural competition and grouping...Ah! Kiri, Kiryu-san! You, you are here too, ah."

As soon as he entered the classroom, he saw an unexpected person standing in front of him and staring at him with big eyes. Dashi's tongue was knotted several times in an instant, and he almost leaned back too much. Fortunately, he managed to maintain his balance at the last critical moment Did not fall on all fours.

"Well, because it's almost time to clean the blackboard thoroughly again."

Sa Yejia nodded slightly, breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly switched to a new topic.

"Eh!? 'Thorough cleanup'?" Dashi immediately noticed that it was not what he needed to care about the most.

"Yes, if you just rely on the blackboard eraser, a lot of dust will accumulate over time, which cannot be solved by just cleaning the blackboard eraser. And the dust remaining on the blackboard will more or less interfere with the sight of other students, so..."

She explained while rubbing the corner of her skirt unconsciously.

"Ah, it's no wonder that the blackboards in our classroom seem to be much cleaner than those in other classrooms. So Kiryu-san has been tidying them all this time. It's really hard work. Right, Tezuka?" Oishi's tone was full of admiration and gratitude , and finally, bring another person from the classroom.

"Um."

"Hey...thank you, thank you." When she was praised unexpectedly, Sayaka was so overwhelmed by the surprise that she couldn't quite react, "It's just...a little thing."

"That's not the case. You may think that you just did "a little thing", but the whole class benefits from it. We should all be grateful! Right, Tezuka?" At the end, he brought another student in the classroom one person.

"Yeah." The answer was very simple.

"Look, everyone thinks so." Dashi concluded.

...Who are "everyone"! ?

Sha Yejia laughed dryly and complained silently in her heart.

But...whatever, because he agrees, which is more important to her than the approval of "everyone".

Besides, she was embarrassed to tell others that this move actually originated from the fact that she, who did not participate in the club, needed to give herself a reason to stay in school until the other club activities ended.And what she did today was just one of the many reasons she found.

"Ah, by the way, Oishi-kun is looking for Tezuka-kun, right? Well, my side is almost ready, so I won't bother you guys."

"Huh? Ah, um, see you tomorrow, Kiryu-san."

"goodbye."

"Yes, see you tomorrow, Tezuka-kun and Oishi-kun."

Sa Yejia put away her things, greeted the two of them politely, and walked out of the classroom gently, closing the discussion behind her——

"Have you decided on the grouping? Let me see..."

……

In the youth academy in the early morning, there was an endless stream of students in uniforms rushing into the school gate.

"Ah, Tezuka-kun, good morning."

As soon as she turned into the teaching building, she saw Tezuka standing in front of the locker. Sayaka summoned up the courage to go over and say good morning.

"...Yes. Good morning, Kiryu."

Didn't expect to get a reply.

Although it was only a short sentence, it was enough for Sa Yejia, who watched him leave with a surprised face, to be happy for a long time.

"Saya, something seems wrong!"

A sudden exclamation came from the back of Sayaka, making her deeply feel the feeling of having a "back spirit" in an instant——

"Wow--!!"

"Ah! Saya, don't scream suddenly, it's scary!"

"Really, Hanako is the one! Don't suddenly make noise behind other people's backs, it scares me so much that my heart almost loses strength!" Looking back, one of her friends was standing closely behind her, and she immediately complained.

And Yamada who just spoke was stroking his chin with a thoughtful expression on his face, also staring at the direction of someone's departure, shaking his head.

"Strange, really weird..."

"Uh... is there something wrong?" Sayaka was a little confused when she heard Yamada was still muttering something.

"What's wrong? Of course not, it's really wrong!" Yamada repeated in his mouth, while exaggeratingly opening his arms and waving "big" in the air, "That person just now is Tezuka-kun, right?"

"Uh, that's right."

Sayaka hesitated for a moment when Yamada asked the question knowingly.

"This is so wrong!"

"Eh?"

Such a situation... seems to have appeared at some point! ?

Sha Yejia murmured in her heart.

"That's right. Come on, Saya, hold out your hand."

"……Huh!!"

The wrist was directly caught between the two of them.

"Hey, Saya, count it yourself. In the two years since the first grade, how many times have you said good morning to someone?"

"..."

The atmosphere was suddenly as cold as winter.

His fingers were frozen in the air and he couldn't move.

half an hour.

"Right!" Yamada sighed with emotion, "I have been in the same class for many years but I can't even count the number of times I communicate with you. Probably no one is more tragic than you!"

"..."

Sa Yejia could not refute.

Although she always thought that as long as she worked hard to get closer to "that person", thinking about it carefully, the motivation for unilateral search and the ranking of unilateral longing... It is infinitely sad!

"Actually, I'm not surprised that Tezuka-kun would reply good morning to others. It was originally because people thought he was too powerful and seemed to be far away from him, so they didn't dare to say hello to him. I will ignore other people's words. But you, Saya..."

After a pause, the voice became ambiguous because it was lowered.

"You will take the initiative to say hello, this kind of thing is the development that fell through my glasses... Ah, although I don't wear glasses. Hahahaha..." I added a redundant sentence at the end, and played a few dry laughs very coldly .

"..."

Sa Yejia felt that the words "I don't know this person" must be written all over her face at this moment.

"So, let's talk about it quickly, how did you get online today?" Yamada didn't care so much, and suddenly smiled with his eyes narrowed, hanging on Sayaka's shoulders by himself, and turning the topic back to thinking The point of the question.

"Getting on the line or something..." Sa Yejia couldn't help frowning at this description, "Just seeing it... It's not good if you don't say hello."

"Hey……"

"I hate it, I don't want to talk to you anymore." Yamada's smile made her feel uncomfortable, and she hurriedly dropped the words and ran away.

"Oh my, I escaped..."
