Real teaching, but diary flow

"...Yes, if nothing unexpected happens, it will be around that time." Kikyo Kushida nodded gently.

Asakusa Tetsu's expression looked somewhat surprised, but not entirely unexpected.

After a moment's thought, Kikyo Kushida came up with a possibility.

"When did the Star Palace tell you about this?" she asked, looking up.

"Back when we were reviewing for the midterms, right?" he said.

Upon hearing this, Kikyo Kushida scoffed:

"A leopard can't change its spots."

Why are they only telling Class D the news now, even though other classes have already been notified?

If there were any smart students in other classes... no, if it were Sakayanagi Arisu, they would have already realized that the schedule for the special exams had already been decided and preparations had begun during the midterm exams.

So that's why the diary was so confident in telling them that it knew everything about the next special exam.

"...I plan to take that little wimp along to exercise for a while." After a brief silence, she added, "Horikita Suzune will come along too."

"If the special exam really is a survival test on a desert island, Airi's physical fitness will be a big drag."

Asakusa Toru nodded in deep agreement:

"She really should start exercising."

Sakura Airi's physical condition is too poor. She gets out of breath after running just a few steps with a weight on her back, and she basically doesn't choose to be on top on weekdays.

They are completely in a passive position, basically at the mercy of others.

And yet she managed to escape in no time.

If you really want to take your idol as your future goal, then you should start exercising now.

Nighttime activities cannot be called exercise.

"Do you want me to come with you?" he asked.

Kikyo Kushida shook her head:

"...No, forget it."

She was indeed a little tempted, after all, the feeling of having Horikita Suzune by her side was definitely completely different from having Asakusa Tetsu by her side, at least in terms of mood.

But she felt that having Asakusa Tetsu train with her would have two problems. First, training with a boy would cause a commotion; dealing with questions from girls or hostility from other men would be difficult. Second...

When you start exercising, don't let it turn into a different kind of exercise altogether.

Kikyo Kushida had no doubt about Sakura Airi's belief in rejecting him, nor did she doubt the other thoughts that would arise in her mind when she noticed the various little details about Sakura Airi.

Therefore, if the goal is really to exercise, then you definitely shouldn't get close to Asakusa Toru.

Nighttime exercise is too physically demanding and can significantly impact regular workouts.

"You can direct it yourself these days."

Quite naturally, Kikyo Kushida uttered the 'return of the favor' she had been longing to say for a long time.

After all, someone had previously said something as cold as, "You can deduct it yourself."

This is not an overreaction at all.

......

Chapter 180 I shouted that Ichinose Honami had knocked someone down and was trying to run away.

7 month 8 day.

Saturday.

Today is a very special day.

That's right, it's the 100th day since Toru Asakusa started keeping a diary.

Clearly, this day is quite memorable.

With less than a month left until the final exams and the special exam on the deserted island, and with Miss Kikyo having already deduced the content of the special exam and relayed it to him, Asakusa Tetsu thought it better to focus on today's main event than to wait until the last day before boarding the ship to leak the questions.

But it was the day before he had planned to write in his diary at the exact time of his 100th day.

On Friday, as he opened his personal shoe locker after school to change his indoor shoes, Toru Asakusa found a letter instead...

A cute love letter with adorable heart-shaped stickers?

The handwriting was neat and easily recognizable, and the words were brief yet clearly conveyed the meaning of a 'confession'.

And... the invitation that fell at the end of the love letter.

I've recently realized my own feelings for someone.

'I feel this is a courage I had to muster.'

"I'd like to ask you to meet me at the back of the stadium at 4 PM tomorrow."

The 'tomorrow' I wrote down yesterday refers to 4 PM today.

Time wasn't actually that tight, and Asakusa Tetsu had thought many times about whether to just confront her directly and question her.

But after thinking about it, he finally gave up and decided to wait patiently for the invitation.

This love letter was quite unexpected for Asakusa Tetsu, yet at the same time it made him feel that it was also quite reasonable.

After all, the little mascot's somewhat subtle behavior was actually a sign of something.

Indeed, this love letter was undoubtedly written by Chihiro Shirahami.

The handwriting is exactly the same as the one I saw at the library study group, and the heart-shaped stickers are quite Chihiro Shiranami's personal style.

The content of the confession also seemed subtly familiar.

...This love letter should have been given to Honami Ichinose.

If the story unfolds as expected, Archangel Ichinose will use her irresistible charm to influence every student in Class B, and the one most captivated by this charm is the little mascot, Chihiro Shiranami.

She would muster her courage, disregard societal norms, and resolutely launch a confession towards Honami Ichinose.

The time... is around the beginning of July.

Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, just as she had written in her diary, Chihiro Shiraha turned her attention to her.

Toru Asakusa: "......"

I don't think I did anything special, did I?

The content of the behavior code exam, which was made public to everyone, was said by Ichinose Honami. Ichinose Honami was the class leader, and the reason why everyone was united was not because of him, but because of Honami's affability.

To explain what he did to Chihiro Shirami.

They only interact and get to know each other occasionally during regular Ichinose-gumi meetings...

These are just things that ordinary friends would do.

At the very beginning, he and Chihiro Shiraha were a little distant, maintaining a certain distance from each other. It was only after spending a considerable amount of time alone together during the midterm exam study session that they were able to overcome this distance and become friends.

How did you fall in love with me?

How did things escalate to the point of confessing one's feelings?

Surely they couldn't have really been captivated by the "friendly aura," could they? Isn't that something that increases favorability by adjusting subtle facial expressions?

Asakusa Tetsu was completely baffled.

But the truth is, the love letter was in his shoe cabinet, while Ichinose Honami's shoe cabinet was empty.

...Is it possible that it was put in the wrong place?

She actually meant to put it in Ichinose's closet, but accidentally put it in her own closet...

How could that be?

Last month, he was taken out for a date that was ostensibly to choose a gift for Xiaofanbo's birthday.

Moreover, because he couldn't choose a suitable gift, he was dragged out several times during that month.

He's not so oblivious as to not notice anything.

But why?

It wasn't love at first sight; after all, their initial behavior was quite distant.

It's hard to say whether feelings developed over time; he did indeed spend most of his time playing with Kikyo.

Aside from tutoring sessions, is there anything particularly special that would make the other person like you?

Asakusa Tetsu didn't quite understand, but since he hadn't chosen to approach him beforehand, he had to accept the invitation today.

"...Anyway, thank you in advance."

Standing up, Asakusa Tetsu first thanked the girl in front of him, then took out his terminal to pay the bill.

"Ah, no need to thank me, no need to thank me. On the contrary, I should be apologizing for not being able to help." Slightly flustered, Ichinose Honami waved her hands repeatedly and tried to get up.

The two were currently in the café that was most popular with students in advanced education programs.

Color palette.

When in doubt, just head to Palette Cafe for something to eat; it's a very popular cafe.

Here, Asakusa Toru subtly, without his girlfriend's knowledge, sought Ichinose Honami's opinion as an outsider.

...Although the moment Asakusa Tetsu asked the question, he remembered that although Ichinose Honami in front of him looked like someone everyone loved, she had never actually been confessed to.

Perhaps because her radiance was too dazzling, it seemed that no one dared to confess their feelings to her.

It's easy to imagine how powerful Chihiro Shiraha's attacks are.

The bill was paid quickly. Turning his head to look back, Asakusa Tetsu immediately saw Ichinose Honami, who was standing up and looking a little awkward as she adjusted her skirt.

Sunlight streamed through the café's glass windows, casting a soft halo around her long, flowing hair.

good looking.

No matter how he thought about it, there was no way he could accept Chihiro Shirami's confession.

There are many reasons to be concerned, and many things to consider.

Whether it's the influence of his official girlfriend or the words he inadvertently wrote in his diary, the impact of his relationship with Chihiro Shirahami will be far greater than imagined.

Not to mention the stares from the other students in the class, the resentment from Kikyo Kushida and Airi Sakura alone would overwhelm her.

After a few days of training, she turned around and found her house had been robbed. Given Kikyo's stingy nature, she's bound to cause a huge uproar.

She wouldn't allow someone to join her unless she brought them in herself.

Sakura didn't dare to object, but the feeling of curling up and exuding a cowardly aura was the most unbearable.

...Women's problems are secondary. Anyway, it's just a few minutes of cold war. As long as you can make sure you're full of love, it doesn't matter if you're married.

The fundamental problem is that, not long ago, he wrote about Chihiro Shirami in his diary as part of his diary conversation.

It's not a big deal to complain about her confessing to Ichinose. After all, everyone makes mistakes, and it's reasonable for something unexpected to happen. There's always a way to gloss over it.

However, he also added a rather unnecessary sentence: "Who knows, maybe the little mascot will fall in love with me instead."

Now things are really messed up; the person he confessed to has really changed. What should he do?

Could someone have actually figured something out?

...The only saving grace was that he didn't remember when Chihiro Shiranami confessed to Honami Ichinose, so he didn't write down the time and place of the confession in his diary.

I just mentioned that such a thing happened.

Therefore, as long as it doesn't develop into a real relationship, and as long as he and Chihiro Shirami, as the parties involved, don't actively tell everyone about it, they can stay together.

Then no one will know that this ever happened.

"Anyway, I'll go back and tell my friend to think it over some more." Asakusa Tetsu said to Ichinose, seeing that it was almost time.

When discussing it with Ichinose, he naturally used the excuse of "I have a friend".

...Although I feel that I might not be able to hide it from anyone, the gentle and generous Archangel Ichinose will understand and treat it as if it were just a matter between friends.

"Okay, please tell your friend I'm doing my best." With a gentle smile, Ichinose Honami watched Asakusa Toru leave.
