The score on the last math test was 95.

An enviable high score.

His eyes continued to move upwards.

When Arisu saw some of Asamura's facial features appearing from the side, he belatedly realized - what? It turns out that this guy also looks like he is about to fall asleep.

"Please answer the next question, Arisu-san."

Arisu was caught off guard by the sudden roll call.

He suddenly stood up from his seat and faced the reality that he was most reluctant to face.

The question she was called upon to answer this time was about functions, which was her weakest subject.

brutal reality.

“Eh——that——”

Just as her brain was working rapidly.

A subtle voice sounded beside me.

"Sugar-chan... look over here..."

I inadvertently glanced at the source of the sound - Asamura, who was sitting next to me, used the back of the classmate in the front row to block his view and presented the answers written on the exercises one by one.

Arisu's eyes suddenly lit up and the answer to the exercise came out of his mouth.

"Yes, that's the answer."

Suddenly feeling a sense of relief coming from his body, Arisu sat in his seat and looked at Asamura-san who was smiling.

This really helped a lot——

Asamura-san.

----------

After finishing the afternoon classes, it’s time to go to work at five o’clock.

There had been situations in the past where they were late due to driving time, but perhaps because they were young students and had little experience in the world, the store manager did not blame them for these things.

You cannot be negligent in your work just because the store manager has given you special care.

The number of mistakes made is limited to '1'.

"Wait a minute, Sugar-chan."

The sudden sound behind him and the approaching footsteps - this clearly confirmed one thing.

Arisu turned around.

Looking at Hanako Asamura whose body was constantly rising and falling.

"I want to come too, wait a minute."

Based on our previous experience, Asamura would always waste his time on unnecessary things after class - such as looking for a ballpoint pen that had fallen on the ground and disappeared, which could lead to a collision, or looking for homework to take home for review. He was no longer a child, but he was negligent in these aspects, acting like an idiot, which was ridiculous.

Moments like Asamura who rushed over right after class today are quite rare.

"Asamura came very early today. He obviously had to waste a lot of time before leaving school."

Arisu began to adopt a teasing tone.

"Well, because I can't be late. I don't want to be a drag."

This guy does have this side.

Compared to those smart-aleck people, I don't feel any unpleasant situations happening when getting along with Asamura.

Although this guy is a little clumsy, he won't do anything disgusting on his own initiative.

Arisu glanced at Asamura, who was obviously much shorter than him.

"Asamura-san, do you like Hachiman-san?"

The sudden question made Asamura's face stunned for a moment, and he seemed to realize something, and his ears turned noticeably red.

"No... don't say that... Hachiman and I are both girls... this is impossible..."

"You think so—"

Arisu turned his eyes away and looked straight ahead.

Yes.

Asamura is the kind of girl who never hides her thoughts.

I don't feel any uneasiness at all when I'm with this guy.

not bad.

So-called friends——

"Sugar-chan... like... what does it feel like to like someone?"

Arisu didn't expect Asamura to bring up these issues on his own initiative. After a little thought, the corresponding answers emerged in his mind.

"I can't give a clear explanation for this kind of thing, but if I have to explain it roughly - when you are with a certain person, your heart will beat faster unconsciously, you will notice the other person's gaze and become more deliberate, and you will desire more physical contact. This is probably what I think of as love."

Arisu smiled.

This is how I feel about Nanami.

Some aspects that seemed insignificant before, after realizing that the feelings for the other person have changed, things that were almost taken for granted can always make people feel excited.

This is a feeling that will not disgust you.

In order to protect this feeling, killing, cheating, and pretending to be hypocritical are all allowed.

----------

After fifteen minutes of walking, the part-time convenience store gradually came into view.

The alternating work would take several minutes, and there were seniors who had just finished their work in the convenience store, but Arisu didn't notice these.

Now, the important aspects that should be noticed are:

Arisu looked at the store clerk Yukiko Asami, who was wearing work clothes and mingling with her seniors from the day shift.

This guy...has he turned out to be such an easy-going girl?

It's really questionable.

It's just my first day at work.

"Arisu-senpai! Asamura-senpai! Good afternoon!"

As soon as Mami noticed the two people coming, she waved her right hand towards them.

The first impression he gives is that of an enthusiastic junior.

"Oh, good evening."

Arisu's cold attitude still didn't dampen Asami's enthusiasm.

Asami came closer in a familiar manner, and the smile she revealed made people feel a little uncomfortable.

"Hey, I heard that Arisu-senpai and Asamura-senpai are working very hard. The store manager thinks highly of you. I'm really envious."

"Nothing, nothing worth talking about."

Arisu grabbed Asamura's wrist and pulled her towards the locker room.

Although I don’t know why I had this idea.

However, a simple guy like Asamura should avoid getting close to people who he is not sure whether they have different ideas.

"Sugar-chan...I..."

When Asamura saw Arisu's profile, his expression suddenly became strange, as he was about to say something.

"Asamura, just say whatever you want to say."

"...Sorry, it's okay."

Asamura lowered his head, and the things he had noticed in the diary at that time came to his mind -

Why... Treat others with kindness...

To kill Taromaru.

Chapter 228 Good Things

Ever since Taromaru disappeared, the convenience store's customer flow has become noticeably less frequent than before.

Although they were facing the same evening rush hour, they managed the workload with two people without feeling any pressure at all.

Free time also becomes redundant at this moment.

All this is thanks to Taromaru.

Thanks to the disappearance of Taromaru, everything became easier.

Thank you, Taromaru, you are a good little kitty.

Arisu had a smile on his face that seemed awkward to others.

"Sugar-chan, you seem very happy."

Less than thirty centimeters away from the body, Asamura Hanako observed the subtle reactions on Arisu's face from the side.

seem--

Since she started working, Sugar-chan has been putting on this happy smile.

Did something happy happen?

"Ah la - I'm exposed. I'm really happy because in two hours I can enjoy some time alone with Nanami."

"I see, a world for two, with Nanami-senpai."

Whenever Nanami-senpai is mentioned, Sato-chan's face will be filled with the same smile as it is now.

A smile that makes people feel full of happiness.
