My second life is a bit strange?

Several close friends drifted apart because of basketball.

She also achieved the highest honor in junior high school, although she was only a substitute. She also met that man, Fukuda, the current soccer team coach, through Coach Kiyota's introduction.

The other party valued his physical abilities and persuaded him to try more sports.

"I've already decided that I won't go far in basketball, a sport where giants abound, and football is also very interesting."

Seeing the excitement in the other person's eyes, Feng's worries subsided.

"I'm going to the youth training camp in the next few days, and I probably won't be able to come back for a while."

"I'll go with you then."

"Yes, in the West City."

"Could it be West City Football Club?"

"how do you know?"

Feng's lips twitched slightly as he recalled that passionate young man: "Perfect timing, I'm going to see someone."

"Let's go back, Xiao Gui is probably getting impatient."

……

On my way to school this morning, I bumped into Komi at the corner: "Good morning~"

“Good morning, good morning…” Komi-kun still had difficulty speaking.

"Relax, let's do it again."

She parted her lips slightly, took a deep breath, and let her hair fall casually down her back, swaying in the breeze.

"Good morning."

They walked together into the corridor, and through the window, Kaede pointed to Yuihama.

"Today's target is Yuihama-san. She's a very easy person to talk to, lively and cheerful. Let's try to be friends with her."

Komi took out a notebook from her bag and quickly wrote down a line: "Is it the same as Nagana-kun?"

"It's not as exaggerated as hers."

After I introduced Nagato to Komi last time, the atmosphere changed completely. Nagato, who is usually good at socializing, couldn't even find topics to talk about after meeting Komi.

The conversation quickly fell into an awkward silence, but things improved noticeably after spending some time together. Although most of the time, Komi just listened and couldn't reply even if she wanted to, because Naganame spoke too fast and she couldn't keep up with her writing.

Komi sat down and stared intently at Yuihama, trying to figure out how to start a conversation.

Is there something on my face?

Yuihama took out a small mirror and checked that there was nothing there.

[Ugh, it's so scary to see Komi staring at me like that.]

"Komi-kun, is there something you need?"

Yuihama felt it would be better to take the initiative to strike up a conversation, so that she could correct herself if she had offended anyone.

Komi-kun just stared at him without saying a word, making the atmosphere even more awkward.

After class, when she went to the tea room to get water, Komi followed behind her, and the same way when she went to the restroom.

[Help! I'm suffocating!]

Someone, please help me!

Yuihama remembered that it seemed only Kaede and Komi could talk to each other in the class, so she hurriedly went to find him for help.

Rushing into the classroom in a hurry, without even noticing that Feng was chatting with Kaguya, he pulled him out and said, "Feng, did I offend Komi-kun in some way?"

"Why do you say that?"

Yuihama told Kaede what had happened in those classes, leaving him both amused and exasperated.

"Actually, Komi just wants to talk to you and be your friend."

"Really! That's great." Yui Hama patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

Just then, Komi was lying by the wall, secretly watching them. Kaede brought Yuihama to Komi's side.

She took Komi's hand, her face beaming with a smile: "I also want to be friends with Komi-kun."

Yuihama also tried to find topics to talk about. Unlike Nagana, she said she would give Komi a lot of time to react and encouraged her to speak. She was a very gentle person, and the smile on her face gave Komi a lot of courage.

"Teacher, these are the homework assignments you asked me to collect."

During lunch break, Kaede carried a pile of textbooks to Hiratsuka Shizuka's office, and Hikigaya was called into the office again, probably because he had written something in biology class.

I could hear bears and such from a great distance.

"Well, let it go."

The weather wasn't great today; it was gloomy and perfect for sleeping. A lot of students were slumped over in the classroom. After finishing his lunch, Feng decided to go out for some fresh air.

As I passed by the stairs, I happened to see Goto sitting in a small space under the corridor where clutter was piled up, eating his lunchbox.

"Why are you eating here alone?"

"Because it's dark and cramped here, which suits me well." Goto replied subconsciously while eating her bento. Realizing what she was doing, she turned around sharply and looked at Kaede, who was leaning on the railing and looking at her.

Wow, it's so bright!

Goto leaned back to avoid the sunlight emanating from the maple tree.

"Can I sit here?"

"Uh... um."

Goto moved to the side, pressing himself against the wall, leaving Kaede plenty of space.

"Can I call you Pochi-chan?"

"Hey?"

"I'm sorry, I overheard your conversation at the door a few days ago."

"Yes, yes."

The class monitor actually called me by my nickname so affectionately.

"You can just call me by my name. Does Pochi-chan have a smartphone?"

"Yes, yes." Pochi-chan took out her phone and handed it to Maple as if offering a tribute.

"I'm not a bully, don't make it sound like I'm bullying you."

"Yes, I'm sorry!!! You didn't bully me, everything was voluntary."

Feng took her phone, both amused and exasperated. It was already unlocked. Feng left his contact information.

"My Line number is the same as my phone number, add me."

Goto looked at the contacts in his phone's address book and was so moved that he almost cried. It was the first time in many years that he had added anyone other than his family to his LINE account.

Like a pilgrim, he bowed three times to his phone.

As someone passed by on the stairs, Goto quickly shrank into a ball and hid behind Kaede to avoid being seen by others. When the students passed by, they talked about how Kita from Class 3 of the first year of high school sang very well.

Goto's mind started racing, because Nijika had said she wanted to recruit a lead singer and guitarist.

This is just what I was offered to them.

"Class monitor, can I ask you for a favor?"

Goto tentatively asked, and Kaede immediately saw through her thoughts: "You want to ask me to help you invite Kita to be the lead singer of your band?"

"Squad leader, are you a god?"

"Because your thoughts are written all over your face."

Seeing that Goto was about to bow down again, Kaede quickly helped her up.

"Please, class monitor, I'm willing to do anything."

"Are you really willing to do anything?"

"fake."

Kaede didn't expect Goto to refuse so quickly: "Puhaha... Goto-kun, you're really cute."

"Ugh!" Goto's face was burning hot, making the sound of boiling water, and he almost fainted.

"I have accepted your request."

Kaede stood up, dusted off her trousers, and pulled Goto up as well, leading him to Kita's classroom. The classroom door wasn't closed, and since it was an outdoor class, there weren't many people inside.

"Kita-kun, could you please come out for a moment?"

The classroom suddenly became noisy as everyone discussed why the class monitor of Class 1 had come to see Kita.

"Confess your feelings?"

"Very likely, after all, Kita is so cute."

They arrived at a quiet place, and Feng pushed Goto, who was behind him, forward: "Someone will call her out for you, and you can talk to her yourself."

How could this be?

[Waaaaah, I haven't even thought about what to say! What should I do? How am I supposed to start?]

[Just tell her directly, "I'm looking for a lead singer and guitarist for my band. Are you interested in our band?"]

"Stand up straight and head high, don't be nervous."

Upon hearing Kaede's voice, Goto stood up straight, tilting his head back to look at the ceiling.

Kita was still wondering why this girl was looking at him through her nostrils.

Even though I had gone over it in my mind, when I blurted it out, it came out as an abbreviation typical of social anxiety: "I, love, master."

"Pfft!" Kaede roughly guessed what Goto was talking about and couldn't help but laugh.
