Just then, Naomi spoke to him.

"Um, Miyazawa-kun..."

"Ok?"

Miyazawa Itsuki turned his head and met Naomi's expression, which was both troubled and extremely serious.

"I want to ask..."

"...Do you have an older brother?"

Chapter 46 Life is Like a Play

Faced with this question, he was speechless for a moment.

No, even if my appearance and that of my rented boyfriend share the same surname, you can't make that connection.

While not as prevalent as Suzuki, Sato, and Tanaka, [Miyazawa] still has a certain number of works.

Naomi is being far too naive in trying to find kinship through surnames and then locate [Miyazawa Teru].

Miyazawa Itsuki shook his head and said.

"I only have one younger sister, and no older brothers."

"Oh, I'm sorry, I said something strange."

Naomi Asahina showed an expression of expectation, with a hint of regret.

Afterwards, Emi Kobayashi entered the classroom and presided over the morning meeting.

Naomi Asahina didn't try to talk to him again, but sat in her seat, looking absent-minded and lost in thought.

……

The three classes in the morning passed quickly.

Aside from Naomi frequently daydreaming in class and being called out by the teacher, nothing particularly noteworthy happened during that time.

The fourth period is physical education class.

The students of Group C in the second year set off for the changing rooms in the school gymnasium.

After most of the people had left, Miyazawa Itsuki quietly went to a secluded spot, removed the bandage from his body, and carefully disposed of it.

Perhaps it was because Her Highness the Holy Maiden healed so well, but after a night's rest, the ankle injury no longer significantly hindered my movement.

But it's too early to say that he can jump around in PE class.

and so.

To eliminate any possible suspicious elements, Miyazawa Itsuki plans to put on a show.

"I just drew the [Acting] category yesterday, it really is fate."

Miyazawa Itsuki went to the gymnasium's locker room and changed into his gymnastics uniform.

Inside the locker room, some boys were even comparing their physiques.

"Haha, my muscles are definitely better after all, aren't they?!"

"Ugh, with Fukuda's exaggerated muscles, no girl would like him."

"Yeah, right?! You're just jealous, absolutely jealous!"

"It's true, isn't Fukuda's crush the Saintess of the academy? She definitely wouldn't like someone like you. You idiot muscle gorilla."

Someone whispered, "I heard that Her Highness's ideal type is [a gentle boy who makes people feel relaxed when they're around]."

"Where did this come from? Could it be another fake news like before?"

"The Holy Maiden would reveal her preferred type? I don't really think it's true."

"It was sold on an anonymous forum, and I spent five thousand yen to buy this top-secret information. It's said to have been obtained from a girl in the same class and group as Her Highness the Saint. Of course, Her Highness's original words might not have been exactly that, but the meaning should be pretty much the same."

"That's too broad."

"What's wrong with being gentle? I can be gentle too."

Teenage boys are making a fuss again over a beautiful girl they can't touch.

Miyazawa Itsuki changed into his gymnastics outfit, a classic white short-sleeved shirt and navy blue shorts.

After leaving the locker room, I went to the school's indoor gymnasium.

The students in the class had already started moving around.

Two gloomy-looking boys huddled in the corner; they were Takato Tanaka and Yuta Nakamura.

He came over to the two of them and greeted them.

"Hi, you guys are here."

"Oh? Oh, it's Miyazawa."

The two of them warmly made room for him, and Miyazawa Itsuki also sat with them in a corner.

Yuta Nakamura asked him curiously, "Is Miyazawa good at sports?"

"Me? Just an ordinary person."

Based on past life experiences.

For the past ten years or so, Miyazawa Itsuki has never slacked off in his training.

Therefore, his physical condition is considered quite good among his peers.

In addition, the [Basketball (LV1)] and [Street Fighting (LV1)] skills enhance physical control.

I can draw inferences from one instance to another; my motor skills must be pretty strong.

But it's not good enough to make a living off of it, so I simply stopped showing off.

Tanaka Takato said with a bitter face, "Yuta and I are both bad at sports, and we always want to skip PE class."

"After all, that's just a stage for the outward-facing corner to show off, leaving no room for the indoors."

Today's PE class focused on ball sports. The boys were almost all playing basketball, while the girls played volleyball.

This is a very troublesome matter for the two of them.

“It’s okay, indoor games have their own way of playing,” Miyazawa said. “They’re challenging each other with competitive matches, we can just play some tossing and catching.”

Yuta Nakamura nodded, and said with emotion, "With Miyazawa here, we two finally don't have to toss the ball back and forth like idiots anymore."

"Ah, look, look!"

Tanaka Takato suddenly widened his eyes and pointed to a spot.

From the direction he indicated, another class could be seen.

Group A is the same group that has physical education class as Group C.

Miyazawa Itsuki glanced at it.

Then, in the crowd, a girl with unparalleled beauty stood prominently in the center.

"Wow, it's Her Highness the Holy Maiden!"

"How lucky I am to have a PE class with Her Highness the Saintess."

"Suddenly, exercising doesn't seem so difficult anymore."

The two suddenly felt an inexplicable surge of energy.

Putting them aside, the boys in Group C also started to stir, seemingly wanting to make a good impression on the super pretty girl.

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and we absolutely cannot let Sato steal all the limelight."

"Maybe it will get Her Highness's attention."

Miyazawa Itsuki simply watched calmly.

Suddenly, Tsukimi Sakura looked over in their direction.

He met my gaze.

The girl blinked, seemingly somewhat surprised.

Then, a barely perceptible smile appeared on his face.

Her smile was so beautiful it seemed to distort light and shadow.

……

During physical education class.

Sato He and a group of boys made a pact to play against the second-year A group.

The other party readily agreed.

Miyazawa Itsuki played catch with the two of them in a fixed position.

Because he doesn't need to run around frequently, the injury is currently well hidden.

But the play still has to be performed.

Miyazawa Itsuki focused his attention on the group of boys playing basketball.

Because two star students, Asahina Omi and Tsukimi Sakuna, were present.

The students in both groups A and C were much more excited than usual.

They were playing with the same intensity they would in a national tournament.

But in the fierce competition, some people quickly fell behind.

"I can't go on anymore, I'm out of energy, I really need to rest."

"Idiot, why are you so weak so quickly today?"

"This is not the intensity of our usual training at all, there's nothing I can do about it. Besides, I already have a girlfriend, so even if I performed well, it wouldn't have any effect."

Players from both sides were substituted.

But in Group C, there are fewer people who can play basketball than in Group A.

They quickly fell into a disadvantageous position.

During another halftime break, students from Group C who were less physically fit frequently asked to leave the field.

Sato He was somewhat irritated.

Even though he knew he had no chance of competing with [Teru Miyazawa].

But instinctively, he still didn't want to appear too inferior in front of the girl he had a crush on for so long.

At least in the areas you excel at, you should maintain your brilliance.

This is the only area where he can beat [Miyazawa Teru] on his own.

Unfortunately, basketball is a team sport. No matter how outstanding Sato He is individually, it's difficult to reverse the decline.

Not to mention that Group A also has other skilled players who are also basketball club members and are not much worse than him.

"Hey, is anyone else in Group C who can play basketball?"

He was trying to find a teammate who was still usable.

Among the crowd, only subtle expressions responded to him.

Also.

The best basketball players are all in the basketball club; everyone knows them.

Even those who are slightly less skilled are on the field.

As for the even more novice...

His gaze fell on Yuta Nakamura and Takato Tanaka.

Going on the field would only be a hindrance, it would be pointless.

Sato He was somewhat disappointed.

But just as he was about to turn back, a voice reached his ears.
