I, who tortured the readers, was knocked to the ground by them!

Chapter 196 Hey, is that me, the teacher?

Perhaps it was because graduation season was approaching, and the Tokyo sky didn't want the farewell atmosphere to be too sad, so it was tactful and gave some face.

There is no need for a 100% sunny day, today's spring day is beautiful enough.

On both sides of the road, pink cherry blossoms are in bud, and the young boys and girls who are going to school for the last time are chattering, making the scene very lively.

Sato Wakaba and Sakurai Itsuki were walking side by side on their usual way to school.

The girl chattered endlessly as she reminisced about the past with Sakurai Itsuki: "When we first went to school, there were so many people looking at us just by walking down the street!"

"After all, you and I have two completely different styles. It doesn't seem like we would have any intersection."

Sakurai Itsuki still remembers the jealousy many of his male compatriots showed towards him at that time, which almost made him hum with pleasure.

"But now that we're walking so close together on the street, no one will find it strange."

Sato Wakaba sighed and gently bumped Sakurai Itsuki with her shoulder.

In fact, when we first walked to the classroom while chatting, there was a distance between us that was about enough for one person to fit, much farther than it is now.

But now, the two of them were almost touching each other, but there was no other student showing surprised expressions or gossiping behind their backs.

Sakurai Itsuki said, "If it's been this long and you haven't gotten used to it yet, wouldn't that be even more strange?"

"Well, come to think of it, I just went to school with you, but everyone kept asking me about my situation for several days. It was really annoying. I'm really cute." Sato Wakaba put her hands behind her back and paced back and forth boastfully.

Sakurai Jūya still clearly remembered the scene and conversation at that time: "Didn't you say that you don't care about other people's opinions and gossip, but instead think this is a good thing that can make those annoying suitors of yours give up?"

"Well~ That's what you say!" She squinted her eyes and bared her white teeth.

"Think about it, I was the one who took the initiative to drag you to school. If I showed that I cared, wouldn't the atmosphere be very awkward? And I also wanted to act a little more like a mature woman at the time. After all, you always had a sour face, as if you disliked me. I felt that this would make you feel more at ease."

Sato Wakaba only revealed the secret to Sakurai Itsuki now. In fact, she was not indifferent to the gossip at that time, but was just trying to pretend to be rich.

However, now she really doesn't care about these gossips, and she is even happy about it.

Almost two years have passed in the blink of an eye, but when we look back on it, we sigh, “How time flies.” This short period of time has also subtly changed a lot of things!

Questions like "Ruoye, do you like Sakurai Itsuki?" would have made her wave her hands away quickly back then, but now she would probably just smile and not deny it.

Of course, people around me no longer ask this kind of question. Now, when my girlfriends meet and chat, they always start with "Your Ah Shu."

If you don’t know the atmosphere, you might think that the housewives are complaining about their husbands’ troubles!
Sato Wakaba tilted her head, studied his subtle face, and grinned, "Hey, what about you? Did you care at the time?"

Sakurai Itsuki stroked his chin, pretending to be in deep thought: "I forgot, but I guess I feel pretty good about it."

"Ah, is it good? Do you like me? I'm sorry, although walking down this street with you again, the atmosphere is very nice and a little romantic, and graduation does seem like the right time to confess, but~"

A gust of spring breeze blew, and some petals of the cherry blossoms on both sides of the slope fell off.

"Hey."

Sato Wakaba suddenly took two big steps forward with her long legs, then turned around and looked back.

The wind gently blew the ends of her bangs. In the gorgeous sunshine and cherry-colored wind, she smiled brightly with her bright eyes.

"But~ I'm the kind of person who wants to spend the rest of my life with my first love, so I wouldn't agree without seeing your level of awareness. In short, Ash, you're a good person, but I'm really sorry!"

She seized this rare opportunity and gave Sakurai Itsuki a good guy card.

Maybe it was because the air was indeed filled with sunshine today, but her nice guy card wasn't so much a rejection as it was an urging for him to make a serious confession next time and an invitation for her to spend the rest of his life with him.

If she really gave such a good guy card to someone who confessed his love to her, it would definitely make people miss him even more.

It simply sounds like a bad woman who clearly doesn't agree to someone's request but still wants to leave them with some thoughts so that she can pua them later.

This is clearly a role that a beast like Sakurai Itsuki would do.

Sakurai Itsuki jokingly complained: "Really, in an occasion like today, you're looking for an opportunity to give out cards? You bad woman."

Sato Wakaba smiled smugly at the title of "bad woman": "Hehe, but considering that today is graduation and you performed well today, I don't intend to hurt you too much, so."

Sato Wakaba moved closer to Sakurai Itsuki, and her beautiful light blue eyes couldn't help but glance at the second button on Sakurai Itsuki's school uniform.

Just when Sato Wakaba was about to take the opportunity to take off the buttons, she saw an inappropriate guy.

"Good morning!"

Hearing the familiar voice, Sakurai Itsuki turned his head and looked at the Hanase sisters.

Hane Shion was wearing her school uniform, her back still straight, and her long black hair draped softly behind her head.

Her fair and delicate face, like a porcelain doll, is still so stunning, and the teardrop mole at the corner of her eye is still unforgettable at first sight.

Judging from her appearance alone, she is still the flower on the top of the mountain that makes people subconsciously feel that she is a little distance away from the mediocre world.

But Sakurai Itsuki knew that these were just illusions.

She is essentially a naive lady who is not frank, a little clumsy at times, has a strange way of thinking, and is a little perverted.
She may have changed the most in these two years.

In the past, she would never run away from home, nor would she start to consider the price-performance ratio when shopping, and she would never tell everyone openly that she is a cartoonist like she did at the party yesterday.

Of course, the most direct change might be that before, she would never have been so smiling and proactively greeted Sakurai Itsuki, whom she hated the most.

Sato Wakaba puffed up her cheeks when her plans were interrupted, but immediately greeted her best friend warmly, "Good morning."

"Graduation, you little bastard."

Masako Hanase, who came specially to send her sister here, stared at the brat who abducted her sister out of the house with ill intentions.

"Well, it's not easy to graduate." Sakurai Itsuki didn't care about the malice towards her sister who was obsessed with her younger sister. It was natural for her to have malice towards Sakurai Itsuki.

I heard that she endured a lot of pressure to make up for Shiyin running away from home.

This female devil in the workplace has been forcibly escorted by her family and has been kissed several times.

"Haha, you're not worthy of saying it's not easy? You're a bastard who made my family a mess."

Masako Hanase did not have the same eldest lady baggage as her younger sister. She raised her fist and punched Sakurai Itsuki hard on the shoulder.

Before Sakurai Itsuki could even start complaining, Hanase Shion came to Sakurai Itsuki's defense and gently scolded her sister, "Stupid sister, today is our graduation ceremony, could you please not ruin the atmosphere of my last day of high school?"

As Hane Shion spoke, her eyes couldn't help but glance at the second button on Sakurai Itsuki's clothes.

I thought, sister, if you hold me back like this, how am I going to ask him for the buttons later? I have to behave better today!
Looking at her sister with her elbows bent outward, Masako Hanase could only sigh.

He leaned over to Sakurai Itsuki's ear and said, "You really do like black tights, don't you? You've tortured me so much! That punch you just gave me is your reward."

Originally, Hanase Shion had moved near Sakurai Itsuki's house, so they should be able to go to school together today.

But last night, Masako Hanase said that she wanted to see her junior high school sister for the last time, so after the graduation girls' meeting, she took her back to her home.

Hane Shion did run away from home, but she didn't leave completely. The relationship between the sisters is still very good.

As a result, early this morning, her sister, who had changed into her school uniform, strongly asked her to drive her home, saying that she had forgotten something.

Masako Hanase hurriedly drove her back to the apartment, thinking that something important had been left behind.

After a while, she came downstairs wearing a pair of black tights that made it impossible to see the color of her skin.

It's obvious that you can just buy a new one at the supermarket, but she insisted that it's different.

It seemed to have some special meaning, but Hanase Masako felt that such a meaning was completely unnecessary. Anyway, even if it had any meaning, she wouldn't tell anyone else. It was only known to herself, so what kind of meaning would that be?

Following the prompt, Sakurai Itsuki's gaze drifted slightly towards Hanase Shion's beautiful and well-proportioned legs.

Even though he always teases her about this, she still wears it on purpose for him to see.

By the way, when did she become so concerned about this?
Probably because of that joke I made.

Come to think of it, when was that joke made? It seemed like it was when their relationship had just eased.

Today's atmosphere is so suitable for reminiscing that Sakurai Itsuki can't help but think about the past.

"what?"

Hane Shion noticed that Sakurai Itsuki was staring at her legs, and she twisted her legs slightly, showing an attitude of dissatisfaction, but she was secretly happy in her heart.

Last night in the atmosphere of graduation, Hane Shion recalled the past and suddenly realized that she hated him so much at the beginning.

When did your opinion of him change? When did you start to care about him so much?
Did you know that he was your favorite cartoonist?
No, it has to happen before, much, much before.

Perhaps it was after that bad joke that she started thinking about him all the time.

Just like many girls always like the little boy who sits behind her, gently pulls her braids and teases her.

At first, my mind was full of thoughts about how annoying that guy was, but as I thought about it, my mind was full of him. When my mind was full of him, one day, he no longer seemed annoying.

The girl would probably be willing to hold his hand and elope with him boldly one day.

"Nothing." Sakurai Itsuki hesitated slightly, but still did not ruin the atmosphere of the day.

"Ashu, you're such a pervert! I was right to reject you just now!"

Sato Wakaba, who also noticed Sakurai Itsuki's gaze, pouted in dissatisfaction.

I thought to myself, if you like it so much, just tell me this morning. Although I don’t like wearing these stuffy tights, it’s not like I haven’t accommodated you. I have worn them for you a few times before.

"Hey, what did you reject?" Hanase Shion naturally didn't know what the conversation between the two had just been.

"It's nothing. This is a little secret between Ashu and me." Sato Wakaba said and winked at Sakurai Itsuki.

At this point, Hanase Shion frowned sourly and turned to Sakurai Itsuki and said, "So, are you asking too much of her? Tell me about it."

The relationship between Hanase Shion and Sato Wakaba is like that of sisters, or even a bit like mother and daughter.

But in certain specific scenes, they would occasionally compete with each other and be jealous of each other.

Upon hearing this, Sato Wakaba quickly said, "Okay, okay, it's almost time, let's go!"

But you can't say that you gave him a nice guy card. That's not a real nice guy card. It's just a little interest between the two of us.

If she knew about this, she would probably take it as the truth.

"Let's go, let's go. I still have to go to the company to take care of some things. Hey, you guys have all grown up!" Looking at this delicate relationship, Masako Hanase just sighed and waved her hand.

The next campus was not a place for an old woman like her.

As for the mess between them, Masako Hanase didn't want to get involved and just let them be.

So, the two people walking side by side became three.

Hane Shion also joined in the chattering conversation and slowly walked towards the last class.

The campus remains the same as before. It seems a little ruthless and does not feel sad about sending off another group of students.

The pillar where the comic posters of Hanase Shion and Sakurai Itsuki were posted is still standing there, but those comic posters had been torn down long ago.

However, I heard that because the posters were so well received, the student union kept them well in a warehouse in the utility room.

I don’t know if one day, several years from now, when someone happens to look through that poster, they will be able to guess that the comic was created by the hottest young cartoonist group in Jump.

After greeting the teachers and taking a group photo together, everyone went into the auditorium together.

During that school festival, Sato Wakaba recreated a classic drama here.

The Romeo played by this tall mixed-race beautiful girl became very popular on Instagram, making a large number of girls scream that this is the prince of their dreams. The popularity even overwhelmed the beautiful teacher who hid her divine side very well in school.

She was the protagonist of that school festival.

However, Sato Wakaba's impression of that day was that she was on the stage and found Ashu in the crowd, who came despite having a fever despite her repeated warnings.

She remembered that when their foreheads were touching backstage, their faces were so hot.

There wasn't any exciting drama in the auditorium today.

Student representatives stood on the stage and delivered moving speeches, thanking the teachers, thanking the school, reminiscing about the past, and looking forward to the future when they would go their separate ways.

The speech was very good, and some of the emotional female classmates wiped their eyes and sobbed.

Sato Wakaba's eyes were filled with tears when she heard this, and she was laughed at by her hot sister sisters, but Hanase Shion remained calm.

She felt that even though everyone had to go their separate ways, as long as Sakurai Itsuki was still by her side, there was nothing worth being sad about.

She rejected Kyoto University for this very reason.

After the speech, everyone sang together the classic song "Farewell at Today's Time", which everyone in Japan can sing.

After entering the singing session, Sato Wakaba's voice, which was full of emotion, made several classmates around her who were originally feeling sad laugh.

Sakurai Itsuki originally wanted to hold back.

But unfortunately, the professional training was not very thorough, and then Sato Wakaba pinched his waist hard.

After the graduation ceremony, except for a few who were busy leaving, most students stayed in the school reluctantly.

We took photos together, played around, and made plans on how to spend the last spring break and what to do in the future.

While Sato Wakaba was taking Hane Shion around to take pictures, Sakurai Itsuki pulled the homeroom teacher, who was immersed in the students' praise and taking photos, into an empty office.

Hase Hatsuna looked at Sakurai Itsuki dissatisfiedly: "What are you doing? There are so many people waiting to take pictures with their cute female teacher!"

Sakurai Itsuki talked about the agreement they had made before: "Shouldn't you resign and come with me?"

"Don't worry about that for now. By the way, compared to this, who are you going to give the second button to?"

Hase Hatsuna blinked at Sakurai Itsuki with interest, obviously she found it entertaining again.

Although there are many buttons on the school uniform, the most meaningful one is obviously the one closest to the heart.

There are two people in the same class: Sato Wakaba and Hanase Shion.

So she was looking forward to whether there would be a bloody scene today.

Upon hearing this, Sakurai Itsuki directly tore off the second button of his school uniform and threw it to Hase Hatsuna.

Hase Hatsuna stretched out her hands to take the button, and was stunned. Her mind was a little confused for a moment.

After about three or four seconds of silence, she pointed her finger at the tip of her nose in confusion: "Hey, me?"
