My roommate turns out to be the heiress of a triad!

This is not something that Ryoichi Sugawara made up out of thin air.

After hearing from senior student Goto that Kenji Koyama had asked the baseball club coach for leave today, Ryoichi Sugawara realized that he needed to attend baseball club training every day.

At Kitasakano High School, clubs like the baseball team, which are considered top-tier clubs and almost always get college recommendations, typically have very strict training requirements.

The term "every day" includes both regular study days and rest days.

Even during spring break, summer break, and winter break, staff members are required to be present.

Unless it's due to health reasons or other very important matters, employees generally don't ask for leave on days when normal attendance is required.

Ryoichi Sugawara recalled the day he and Mayu Kujo went to the shopping mall to pick out underwear, when Kenji Koyama followed them the whole way.

The timing coincided perfectly with the baseball team's training schedule.

That afternoon, Kenji Koyama had to ask his coach for leave in order to carry out the tracking operation.

Thinking back to what Kenji Koyama said to me yesterday afternoon.

If this prevents the young lady from ever going to school again, I will never forgive you!

And there's news that he took the day off today.

If Sugawara Ryoichi were to ask Goto Chinatsu now whether Koyama Kenji had asked for leave that night, and she gave him an affirmative answer.

Ryoichi Sugawara could then confirm his conjecture.

[Kenji Koyama's absence today is most likely because he's going to see Mayu Kujo.]

He kept calling Kujo Mayu "Miss," and he was also very close to Kujo Mao.

It wouldn't be surprising if they knew where their home was.

But this means that Kujo Mayu still didn't come to school today.

······

After finishing my meal, I said goodbye to Chinatsu Goto and arrived at the teaching building right on time.

After a year in Class C, Sugawara Ryoichi had very mixed feelings. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was a mistake not to let Kujo Mao express her opinion on the spot.

But how could he possibly do something like that now?

The other party is Mayu Kujo's mother, the head of the yakuza organization Shinonome-sha.

But I am just an ordinary high school student.

Using the recording to force Kujo Mao to sit down and negotiate was already an all-out effort.

Where would they find the leverage to negotiate with her?

He cast his gaze into the classroom of Class C, Grade 1.

The students were as noisy as ever.

They chatted in small groups, blocking Sugawara Ryoichi's view.

A boy and a girl were playfully shoving each other around the other students, inadvertently clearing a path for Sugawara Ryoichi to see.

This allows Ryoichi Sugawara to see the location he wants to see through numerous obstacles.

Under the warm morning light, that beautiful figure was still nowhere to be seen at the desk.

Seeing this scene, Sugawara Ryoichi's lingering hope for Kujo Daisuke was completely shattered.

really.

You can't put your hopes for success on others in anything you do.

The decision-making power must be firmly in one's own hands.

Although there is very little I can do about this.

But we absolutely cannot do nothing again like we did the previous two days.

I'll go to the staff office during the break and talk to Mr. Hase.

Thinking this, Sugawara Ryoichi left the corridor of Class 1-C with heavy steps.

After walking a distance, we entered the classroom of Class 1-A through the back door.

Higuchi Yukiko, sitting on her desk with her plump legs crossed, was chatting with her two best friends.

She spotted Sugawara Ryoichi entering through the back door at a glance.

He jumped off the desk with a whoosh.

First, she used her slender fingers to comb her dazzling golden hair, making sure that every strand was smooth and soft.

After tidying up her makeup and appearance, and making sure that everything was in perfect condition, she took a few steps and thought of saying hello to Sugawara Ryoichi.

Unexpectedly, Yuji Setagaya, who was sitting in front of him, beat him to it.

This caused her to lose the courage she had just mustered, and she stood there stunned halfway.

"Yo ho, good morning Ryoichi."

It's late today, just like yesterday.

Yuuji Setagaya greeted Ryoichi Sugawara with a smile.

A sign of maturity is the ability to control one's emotions, and Ryoichi Sugawara does not allow his heavy emotions to affect others.

He composed himself and replied to Yuji Setagaya with renewed vigor.

Good morning, Yuuji.

He's still as handsome as ever.

"Hahahahahaha."

I love hearing Ryoichi's honest words.

Yuji Setagaya particularly admires Ryoichi Sugawara and praises his good looks.

Both of them knew it was a compliment, but Yuji Setagaya was always especially happy about it.

But his buzz cut and black-rimmed glasses do make him look quite neat and tidy.

But this outfit is not something that just anyone with average looks can pull off.

If possible, get a new hairstyle and a new pair of glasses.

Thinking this way.

Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, Sugawara Ryoichi noticed Higuchi Yukiko staring blankly at him from about three or four steps away.

This puzzled him greatly.

"Higuchi-kun? Is something the matter?"

After realizing that Sugawara Ryoichi had noticed her, Higuchi Yukiko hurriedly waved her hands and said that it was nothing.

He turned back to his desk and sat down obediently in his seat.

Why does Yukiko Higuchi seem so awkward lately?

Is it just my imagination?

Yuji Setagaya, who was just an observer, learned everything yesterday afternoon after being taken away by Riko Sakagami and Keiko Tanaka.

As classmates who both came from the junior high school of Kitasakano High School, Yuji Setagaya would naturally support Yukiko Higuchi in terms of personal feelings.

But right.

Ryoichi Sugawara now has a girlfriend.

As a result, Yuji Setagaya was unable to provide practical support to Yukiko Higuchi.

Oh, Yukiko.

If I had known it would turn out like this, I would have just said yes when Ryoichi confessed to me.

Now you know how popular my good buddy is, you must regret it.

Just then, the school bell rang.

The English teacher for Class A of the first year of high school seemed to be on a stopwatch, entering the classroom with his lesson plan the moment the bell rang.

The students, who had been chatting and seemed to want to continue, suddenly scattered like birds and returned to their seats.

Yuji Setagaya also turned around, took out his textbook, and prepared to start the lesson.

After the bell stopped ringing completely, the teacher adjusted his glasses with his index finger and said calmly.

"Take out your notebooks, get ready for a dictation of English words."

······

After being called to the blackboard for a dictation test and attending the first class absentmindedly, the break finally arrived.

After declining his good friend Yuji Setagaya's invitation to dine together in the restroom, Ryoichi Sugawara quickly arrived at the faculty office.

Just then, I ran into Mr. Hirotaka Hasegawa, who had just returned from teaching Class 1-C, with his lesson plan rolled up and tucked under his arm.

“Oh, Sugawara.

"Is there anything I can do for you in the staff office?"
