Real teaching, but diary flow

A confession that pushes someone forward.

What would Asakusa-kun do?

If you respond to this confession, or face this feeling directly.

If she really starts dating someone...

Hiyori Shiina wasn't jealous of anything; she genuinely never imagined she could date, hold hands, kiss, go on dates, or even take things further.

She was just... well, a little worried that his romantic relationships might affect his 'dedication' to reading.

In advanced training, it's quite rare to find a fellow 'reader' like Toru Asakusa.

She couldn't find a single one in Class C, at least.

Although such thoughts might not be very good, Hiyori Shiina felt that she still had the right to have this little bit of selfishness.

After all, this wasn't a curse wishing his relationship would end prematurely, but rather a concern that his companions were drifting further and further away.

The gentle, kind, and virtuous Ms. Hiyori doesn't mind at all that someone is in love.

Really.

Chapter 183: A Declaration of Infidelity?!

In the end, everyone went their separate ways.

Firstly, the location is rather delicate; although there aren't many people on the well-connected roads linking school buildings, dormitories, shopping centers, and office buildings.

However, with the accumulation of comings and goings, a certain number of people will inevitably gather.

Arguing here will only attract a crowd of onlookers who will treat them like spectators.

Nobody wants to be part of the gossip.

Secondly, the conflict between them was not significant, or even nonexistent.

The biggest contradiction lies in Sakayanagi Arisuna's habitual attitude.

That's so rude!

It makes you want to pick her up and spank her.

However, this was clearly not an irreconcilable conflict. After feeling the vibration of the special attention message from the terminal, Ichinose Honami simply gave up on paying attention to Sakayanagi Arisu.

And the same.

Thirdly, although it was quite playful and elegant, she proudly raised her snow-white neck and revealed a smile full of interest.

However, Sakayanagi Arisu's attitude did not last long.

As he smiled, he met Ichinose Honami's perfectly calm gaze.

The little princess suddenly remembered something.

She seems to be alone now.

He needed to hold onto a cane to stand firmly, and there was no one around to use his hands.

What if this woman gets angry and hits me?

It's all Masumi's fault!

If she were still there, why would I back down?

Humph.

In short, the trio of girls who had been stalking and spying on the girl parted ways at this moment.

Honami Ichinose took a deep breath, quickly found a bench, leaned her back against it, and then took out her personal terminal.

Then she saw the latest message from the name that was always pinned to the top of the chat program.

How about we start dating?

Asakusa Tetsu bluntly invited her to date him.

He knew he was there.

What arose in my heart was not the struggle of whether to agree or not, nor the joy at his request to date me, but this thought.

He knew I was watching, and he knew I was listening.

So... that's why he didn't respond to Chihiro's confession...?

Is it because they're considering my feelings, or...?

Honami Ichinose pursed her lips.

The message's 'unread' status had changed to 'read', but she hadn't written any response to it yet.

She didn't know how to answer.

Will you agree?

They started dating on the very day Chihiro confessed her feelings. What would Chihiro think?

You won't agree?

What would he think if I refused?

...There's no way she could refuse.

But agreeing is also terrifying.

If the price of dating is the breakdown of the current relationship, then she would rather maintain the status quo.

Biting her lower lip, Honami Ichinose did not give any answer.

......

The feeling of confessing your feelings is wonderful.

Nervous, anxious, uneasy.

The closer it gets to the time to confess, the more clearly you can hear your heart beating.

They are afraid of the outcome and worried about being decisively rejected.

Even if one's purpose is not just to 'confess'.

"..."

Gently raising her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and wiping away the water stains with her small sleeves, Chihiro Shiraha sat on a bench by the roadside, gently swaying her legs encased in white stockings.

She confessed her feelings.

She ran away.

She saw Honami Ichinose.

She suggested that Asakusa Tetsu should date Ichinose Honami instead.

...I'm sure I'll be rejected this time.

Not answering is a sign of rejection. It was because she still secretly hoped to get an answer that Chihiro paused for a moment when she bent down.

It's not just for acting, and it's not just for a more reasonable introduction of Honami Ichinose.

However, he will ultimately not choose me.

The swaying legs stopped, and the terminal in the pocket vibrated.

The girl took out her terminal and saw a message from Toru Asakusa on the lit screen.

Let's date then, just the two of us.

"...Huh?"

Chihiro Shirami was stunned.

Her eyes blinked repeatedly, but no matter how many times she refreshed the page, the text in front of her and the recipient of the message remained unchanged.

Asakusa Tetsu accepted her request to date him.

Wait, wait, wait...

Did I succeed in confessing my feelings?

Does he like me too?

What about Xiaofanbo?

Do you want to accept it?

Should we refuse?

Isn't it strange that someone who initiated the relationship request later rejected it?

But responding by sending messages online always feels a bit perfunctory.

And more importantly, what will happen to Kofunbo if they really start dating?

Chihiro Shiraha's mind was in a mess; the sense of control she had been in, which was proceeding according to plan, was completely disrupted by this message.

"What's this...?" He gripped the terminal tightly with both hands, a murmured sound escaping his lips.

I had already prepared myself mentally.

Since the decision had already been made, it was expected that the request would be rejected.

I originally planned to give this as a birthday present to Xiao Fanbo.

In that case...

【it is good】

How can anyone refuse?

Even faster than her thoughts, Chihiro Shiraha nodded gently, like a shy young girl.

"it is good."

They started dating.

The weight that had been hanging in my heart finally settled, calming my restless mind.

His eyes were fixed on the text on the screen until the 'read' indicator appeared.

But before the girl could even exhale a long breath, new text appeared.

I also sent it to Ichinose, but she hasn't replied after reading it.

Chihiro Shiraha: "...Huh?"

Wait, wait a minute?

What is this guy saying?

I think what you said makes a lot of sense. If you like someone, you should just start dating them.

Chihiro Shiraha's mind went blank, but someone continued to send her more messages that were disrupting her thoughts.

I don't dislike Ichinose; in fact, I quite like Honami. If she does like me, then dating would be a natural progression if we like each other.

However, I also quite like Chihiro. Since Chihiro genuinely likes me, it's only natural for us to date if we like each other.

Liking someone is a mutual thing; if you like each other, then dating is perfectly reasonable.

I can't refuse someone I like.

[It means, Chihiro Shiranami, I like you.]

"..."

Yes, I like you too.

With her hands moving faster than her brain, Chihiro Shiraha sent out the only thought in her mind.

But belatedly, she regained her senses.

What the heck is this?!

Is this a declaration of infidelity?!
