Let's do it again, Yukino.

Spring days without dishes for light snow,

His mood was also quite bad.

……

…………

Grade 2, Class B

In the pitch-black classroom,

The dazzling lights began to flicker between the ceiling panels.

The music, which made you want to tap your feet to the beat, resounded loudly throughout the classroom.

Unlike his usual gentle singing, the boy standing in front of the stage was trying his best to express himself through his singing.

That wasn't singing.

That could only be considered a wolf's howl.

"The disease is called 'love love love love!!!!'"

Clutching the microphone, he frantically vented his pent-up frustrations of spring, his wolf-like howls plunging the entire class into a hellish atmosphere.

"..."

Even if it's painful, they dare not speak of it.

Because speaking out will only bring even more intense pain.

Therefore,

Grade 2, Class B

Accompanied by lines of invisible blood and tears.

Countless people fell silent.

silence,

It was evening at Zongwu High School.

……

…………

Nagato looked around at her classmates who were in pain, especially Ryoko, whose eyes were starting to well up with tears.

The class monitor held Nagato's hand while pointing at the boy on the podium.

"Hurry, Yuki, stop that guy! Otherwise, the entire Soubu High School will be plunged into eternal slumber by his yandere-like singing sooner or later!!"

Nagato remained unmoved and shook his head.

"Am I the only one who thinks Kasuga-kun sings quite well...?"

She calmly comforted Ryoko Asakura.

"It sounds good my foot!!"

"The disease is called love, love love love love love love love!!!!!!!!!!"

The boy hummed a song that no one knew who had taught him.

The setting sun is curved.

A gentle evening breeze was blowing.

The singing was sparse.

The song, carried by the cool autumn breeze and bathed in the glow of the evening sun, seemed to soar to the moon.

Chapter Fifty-One: She's Off!

The cool autumn breeze

It's even more refreshing than in summer.

Amidst the rustling of maple leaves.

Like a wonderfully graceful dancer amidst a sky full of starlight.

On the park bench,

Springtime was sitting on it,

The stars shone with a silvery-white light.

The boy, who was out at night, took a sip of the Max coffee that was placed next to him.

He put down the thick stack of planning documents for the cultural festival that he was working on page by page.

I couldn't help but gaze silently at the night view.

On the other side, the time on the phone screen was already pointing to around eight o'clock.

He had been turned away for several days, so he spent all his evenings in the park these past few days.

This absolutely cannot continue...

Am I the kind of person who gets turned away so easily?

After tidying up the documents, he got up and walked towards Xiaoxue's apartment again.

……

…………

A dozen minutes later,

Haruhi took out the spare key from the bottom of her backpack and pushed open the door to Koyuki's apartment.

A faint silver light shimmered in the living room of the apartment.

In the spring, I put on my slippers and headed towards the living room.

Stepping closer,

The soft sound of breathing, and the ticking of the clock.

The scene unfolding before him made Haruhi silently breathe a sigh of relief.

A pile of unidentified books and documents lay scattered beside the arm of the girl who was sleeping on the coffee table.

Her pet dog, "Little Snow," was lying on her lap, its snow-white fur gently rubbing against her skin.

This is the first time I've seen Xiaoxue go to bed so early in the spring.

This must be considered exhaustion.

Gently, she removed the British Shorthair kitten from the girl's lap. To avoid waking Yuki, Haruhi gave the kitten a hiss to keep quiet.

The dining table was spotless, and there was no sign of washing in the kitchen sink.

Therefore, Haruhi was unsure whether the girl had eaten dinner or not.

but……

Let's take Xiaoxue to the bedroom to rest first. If she falls asleep in the living room and catches a cold, the upcoming cultural festival will be completely ruined.

The boy shook his head helplessly and returned to the girl's side.

With one hand supporting his shoulder, he bent down and reached for the girl's lower body with the other.

Just as his hand touched the inside of her knee, preparing to give her a romantic princess carry...

Not long after they left,

It was as if Chunri had stepped on something hard on the floor; his legs went weak, and the boy, who had been holding Xiaoxue, instantly collapsed onto the floor.

boom! ! !

Haruhi, who had sprained his ankle, watched helplessly as the girl sleeping in his arms rolled off and onto the floor.

One lap, two laps

At that moment, a bead of cold sweat trickled down Chunri's forehead.

I'd better run away first.

Otherwise, if I waited any longer, I might not even have a complete corpse.

"call……"

The peaceful breathing suddenly stopped, and a girl's cry of pain came from the floor.

It was as if the sound of heavenly music came from a distant land.

"Even if you're going to hug me, hold me tighter..."

The girl slowly woke up from her dream, clutching her chest where she was facing the floor, and frowning as she looked at Haruhi, who had appeared in her apartment at some point.

"...I'm sorry...Xiaoxue, are you alright anywhere...?"

Chunri nodded apologetically and hurried over.

"hiss----"

The aftereffects of his sprained leg made him limp over to Xiaoxue's side, and he used his sleeve to wipe the dust off the girl's face.

What happened to your foot?

"I think I stepped on something and twisted my ankle. It's nothing, I'll just put some ointment on it in a bit. Xiaoxue, did you hurt yourself anywhere?"

As the boy spoke, he glanced back at the spot he had just passed, but saw nothing there.

"Where's the thing? Or have you learned how to slip and fall on flat ground?"

"I remember stepping on something, could it be just my imagination..."

"Thanks to you, the momentary feeling of weightlessness woke me up again."

Xiaoxue sat on the floor, not standing up immediately, but just gazing at Chunri's face.
