Real teaching, but diary flow

Page 131

Everyone's here to gossip!

I felt nervous, my heart was racing, and there was a strange mix of excitement and anticipation.

But... was it Asakusa-kun who was confessed to?

Who confessed their love?

Will he accept the confession?

If he starts dating someone else... will he still come to the library as always?

Shiina Hiyori's thoughts suddenly became a bit chaotic.

But she didn't have time to let her thoughts wander any further.

Because the girl who arrived even earlier than Asakusa Tetsu was slightly blocked by Asakusa Tetsu.

The white stockings that reached past her knees rubbed together, and the dress she wore when they met last month was now on the girl's body again. Her lovely hair fell down, partially obscuring her expression.

Chihiro Shirami spoke very quietly.

"Have you read the letter?"

"Ah, I've seen it." He nodded calmly.

The girl cautiously revealed her desire for confirmation:

"So, your response is...?"

"...Before you respond, you should have something to say, right?" After a moment of silence, Asakusa Toru sighed silently: "What's written in a letter isn't a confession, you know."

Although the love letter contained a lot of random and nonsensical writing, the only thing it didn't explicitly say was "I like you".

A confession is when someone expresses their true feelings.

"Yes, I like you, Asakusa Tetsu." Raising her head, Shiranami Chihiro, her hesitant and uncertain attitude gone, said decisively, "Please, go out with me!"

She reached out her hand and bent down.

In a normal confession process, if the other person grabs this hand, it means they have accepted the confession and their feelings.

Before taking that hand, both the one making the confession and the one being confessed to need some time to make a decision.

"..."

so......

Honami Ichinose was getting restless.

"Ugh..." Ichinose Honami pursed her lips, making a soft sound, and clenched her hands.

She never expected that the person who confessed his feelings would be Chihiro Shirahami.

...Although, although, it doesn't seem very unusual for Asakusa-kun and Chihiro to be together; on the contrary, it seems quite reasonable.

But, for no apparent reason, there was a subtle rebellious streak deep inside.

If it were just me following and spying alone...

No, she didn't know whether she would step forward and interrupt them at that moment.

But the troubles are the same.

If he accepts...

If he refuses...

My mind is in a mess.

It was this chaotic state of mind that suddenly made her notice something different.

"Huh?"

When did another person appear among those peeking under our heads?

"..."

The timing of the confession is crucial; don't make a sound to disturb them, just watch quietly.

This is a very important matter.

No matter what happens, don't interrupt this process.

But Ichinose Honami's hand still unconsciously rested on Shiina Hiyori's shoulder.

"?!" Almost instantly, Hiyori Shiina's immersive state was shattered.

She almost cried out.

If it weren't for the two girls above and below them who immediately fell silent.

"Shh-"

Never mind all that! Let's see!

Shiina Hiyori nodded weakly and placed her hand to her lips.

"Pee..."

Hey, you're on the right track.

If you're going to peep, you should have the right attitude. We're all here to peep, and no one is any more noble than anyone else.

Shut up, all of you!

After a brief interlude, the three women's spying resumed.

"..."

The bent-over body and outstretched hand created a tense atmosphere.

Silently watching Chihiro Shiraha, Toru Asakusa did not respond for a long time.

He had been thinking about a way to refuse without being so direct.

It's not that I have to refuse. If the relationship isn't an openly acknowledged boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, Asakusa Tetsu feels he would gladly accept it.

But clearly, what the girl in front of him wanted was not some other twisted relationship.

What she wants is an exclusive relationship where she can assert her dominance, a relationship where she can put her arm around someone's shoulder and act intimately in front of everyone.

Yes, a relationship that marks him in front of everyone.

If Chihiro Shiraha made this decision with a full understanding of who she was, she wouldn't be so conflicted.

It's all rotten, but the essence of vocational school lies in its corrupt interpersonal relationships.

But she didn't know.

Her relationship with Kikyo Kushida and Airi Sakura was not something she could casually reveal.

This is what caused Asakusa Tetsu's current dilemma.

Why not just taint yourself and ask Chihiro to form a pure physical relationship with you?

"...So it still doesn't work?" Just as Asakusa Tetsu was still not responding, as if she had gotten an answer from this reaction, Shirahami Chihiro withdrew her hand.

Tears welled in the corners of her eyes, and the girl's words were slightly choked with emotion.

"I knew Asakusa-kun still prefers Ichinose, but if you really like Ichinose that much, why don't you two just start dating sooner!"

As if giving up on herself, Chihiro Shiranami turned her head away, unwilling to face Toru Asakusa with her tears, and shouted:

"Anyway, she likes Asakusa-san a lot too!"

The sound echoed in the open space behind the stadium.

In an instant, Ichinose Honami, who was peeking from the corner, blushed bright red.

With just a quick glance up, Hiyori Shiina knew that Chihiro Shiranami was right.

But... then why haven't they started dating yet?

"...Thank you, Asakusa-san, for coming here to hear my feelings." After a moment of silence, Chihiro Shiraha bowed again.

As she straightened up, she wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with her small hands.

"I'm happy, but I also hope that Asakusa-san can be more honest with herself." She said with utmost seriousness, "If possible, please date Ichinose-san."

Before Asakusa Tetsu could respond, she turned and ran away.

Her elegant dress fluttered in the air, shimmering tears falling. Asakusa Toru, momentarily stunned, brushed past the corner—

"—" His heart stopped beating.

Draw your head in and squat down.

The synchronized movements caused the girls to press their backs against the wall, nervously holding their breath for fear of being discovered.

Fortunately, they were lucky; Chihiro Shiranami, who ran away, didn't seem to be looking in their direction at all...

Weird.

Chihiro had already spotted the iconic long, gold-flecked hair in the corner.

That was her purpose in coming here, and that was why she chose to confess her feelings.

Let's date.

Let's date as she wishes.

They should have started dating a long time ago.

She chose to confess her feelings just to give them a push and to get them to date.

Chihiro Shirami had already confirmed Ichinose Honami's GPS location. If Honami didn't choose to track her, she would proactively send a message asking her to come over.

But since Asakusa-san approached Kofunami to discuss it, and since Kofunami had taken the initiative to follow her, she didn't need to do anything unnecessary.

Competition breeds a sense of crisis, and her words, which subtly reveal the nature of their relationship, will undoubtedly give them a push.

This is a birthday gift delivered early, in Chihiro Shirami's personal style.

...What if Toru Asakusa really accepts the confession?

Let's date then.

Then the only option is to start a relationship and give Xiaofanbo other gifts.

After all, she didn't dislike being around Toru Asakusa. Her feelings might not have reached the point where she felt compelled to confess, but if things really progressed to a romantic relationship...

It doesn't seem like it's unacceptable.

More importantly, if they start dating...

Then you can do that, right?

SOX.

Chapter 182 I know the reason

Asakusa Tetsu was indeed stunned.

He really didn't expect that Chihiro Shiraha's confession was a scheme to feign one thing while secretly doing another.

On the surface it's a confession, but in reality... it's a forced pairing.

He's urging me to date Ichinose.

As soon as Chihiro Shiraha said those words, he realized that she didn't really mean to confess.

Given his style, what he would naturally do after realizing this is to...

— She accepted the confession without hesitation.
