Real teaching, hypocritical gray life

“I don’t think I have any talent in that area.”

"I think it would be better if Luo didn't sing out loud..."

Takashima, who was sitting on the edge of the sofa, shook his body as if he was recalling some bad experience.

"Has Takashima ever heard Luo-kun sing?"

Nan Fang asked with interest.

Shiratori and the others were in Class A and were one of the few people in the school who had heard me sing. At that time, I shouldn't have followed them to the KTV just to satisfy my curiosity and explore new things, but I was forced to pick up the microphone by the three of them.

“Believe me, it was not a good experience…”

Takashima gave me a guilt-ridden look.

Singing focuses on the production and control of breath. Although I think I have a certain ability in the field of sound imitation, singing is another matter. It is simply difficult to maintain the ups and downs of mood for a long time.

If you are not good at a skill, you are not good at it. To make up for your shortcomings with hard work, you need to have a key foundation. Obviously, I don't have that.

"Come to think of it, I have no idea what Luo Jun's singing is like..."

For a moment, Wangcang's 'concerning' gaze made me shudder.

"I'm not here to sing. That's what we agreed on beforehand."

"Well, that's a pity... Honami-chan, aren't you curious about how Luo-kun will perform when he sings? If I miss it now, I may never have the chance again in the future."

“Please spare me…”

Seeing that I was not interested in their request, the girls turned their attention to Ichinose who was happily eating nearby.

Probably because she hadn’t had lunch like me, Ichinose was constantly picking up pieces of crispy chicken and dipping them in sweet and spicy sauce and putting them into her mouth.

The sight of the flesh on both sides of the cheeks bulging from time to time is heart-warming.

"Eh? Since Luo Jun doesn't want to, don't force him."

"Hmm, Fanbo-chan's reaction is quite interesting. Could it be that he has heard about it in private?"

"How is that possible? I really don't know anything about this kind of thing. Luo just won't say anything."

Ichinose looked at me thoughtfully, but quickly lowered his head again.

"Could it be that Luo's singing skills are also amazing, so he doesn't want to show them off easily?"

"The only thing I can show off is my physical ability..."

After the final relay race at the sports festival, my credibility among my classmates plummeted, and rumors about me became increasingly confusing.

Of course, I'm only talking about ability, not my daily social reliability.

"I can absolutely guarantee this. Although it can't be called unpleasant, the sound is very mechanical and makes people feel uncomfortable. If you don't believe it, you can call someone in the world to ask."

Although I was very happy that Takashima was able to contribute to my refusal to sing at this time, the reaction in terms of the lyrics was not pleasing.

At least the KTV song request station gave a pretty high rating to my singing.

"Don't embarrass Luo anymore, let him sit down first."

Finally, with the help of Ichinose, I successfully solved the problem.

"Yeah, that's true. It's not appropriate to stand at the door all the time. It feels like Luo Jun is just going through the motions. We have reserved a seat for you."

Megumi reached around Ichinose and patted the empty seat next to him.

“Thank you..........”

It is indeed a terrible thing to stand there and bear the pressure of the gazes of fourteen people.

As soon as I sat down, Ichinose poured me a glass of orange juice in a transparent glass, and at the same time picked up a piece of fried chicken dipped in chocolate sauce and held it in front of me.

"You haven't had lunch yet, right?"

"Yeah, I was planning to solve it here."

"Then hurry up and eat, it tastes super good. If it's not enough, it's okay to order more."

I took the fork handed to me by Ichinose and swallowed the fried chicken in one gulp.

The taste of the import is sweet at first, and then turns salty.

Although the taste change is a bit strange, the overall taste is still good.

Three to five minutes passed after everyone took their seats before the karaoke activity officially began.

The microphone was passed from the boys to the girls. Everyone sang their favorite songs. I couldn't tell whether they were good or bad. But even in this situation where I didn't say anything without any praise or criticism, I still refused to sing.

Boys don’t care about other people’s opinions of them. They just want to have fun regardless of whether they make a fool of themselves or not.

Although there is no evaluation, from the comparison of the voices of boys and girls, I still want to praise the talent of girls in singing, and their voices are obviously better than boys. Even Ji Ye, who was reluctant to perform and sounded quite passive and lazy, was not on the same level as us.

But if you really ask me who sings the best, I can’t make an evaluation.

I was hesitating between Ichinose and Amigura. But I think it would be Amigura-san, because Ichinose's singing voice is so good because the words are so vague after eating fried chicken, which makes me feel cute. In fact, I don't know how good Ichinose is at singing.

In this case, at least the singing of Wangcang is worthy of recognition.

As the activity progressed, I gradually realized that the focus of KTV karaoke activities is not on the singing competition, but on the building of emotions and interpersonal relationships.

Singing is just an improvisational activity. After everyone takes turns singing, it all depends on their personal opinions. Perhaps ordering songs as background music is also a common practice.

Topics of conversation between girls and boys popped up one after another, and one could not help but marvel at the active thinking of human beings.

If there is no limit on the topic, I can make up a lot of things, but most of them are not very cross-cutting and abandon a certain humanity, leaving only professional knowledge.

Explanations of this nature will never be well received by the public.

In addition, there is a very obvious feature in the discussion topics of our class. When personal interests are excluded, students will secretly think that Ichinose is the center of the class, trust Ichinose, and even follow him blindly.

I can't say this is a bad thing, because Ichinose's values ​​are not bad, on the contrary, they are quite attractive. It is precisely because of this that everyone in the class is willing to follow him.

Although the criteria for judging whether someone is trustworthy varies from person to person, trust must be gained through accumulation over time.

However, Ichinose has the ability to make people trust her directly, and I will unconsciously have a good impression of her at the first sight. I may be jealous of her.

But it is worth mentioning that this trust is not entirely a good thing.

Ichinose is not a god, she also makes mistakes sometimes.

The uninhabited island exam accepted the C-class spy Jintian Wu, and the sports festival failed to detect the C-class Ryuen's plan..........

Although I have not let go of the serious mistakes so far, but continuing to trust and follow people who make wrong choices will not bring results.

In order to correct mistakes, we need more students who are brave enough to make suggestions or admit their mistakes.

Regardless of whether future leaders will change, students who can speak out are indispensable.

However, in the class centered around Ichinose, the girls also have a lot of say and seem to be on par with the boys.

Kanzaki is a key chess piece that has been deployed. From a personal standpoint, he can speak frankly to Ichinose, but whether he can appeal to the entire class and make the class listen to his ideas, and whether he can manage the girls well is a completely different question.

Although it can have a slight impact, it is not enough. At least this team needs to grow and develop.

It's not just about resisting Ichinose's leadership, but at least making Ichinose aware of some unusual darkness.

In the dim box, I smelled the citrus scent of Ichinose again after a long time.

At the climax of the activity, I had to go to the bathroom because of the frequent drinking of water, which led to the production of metabolic waste in my body. After releasing the water, I met Jiye at the sink installed outside the bathroom.

At this moment, she was washing her face with ice water and seemed not to notice my presence.

The first time I saw her, I thought of the symptoms of "migraine".

In women, migraines are caused by dilation of cerebral blood vessels due to female hormone changes, fatigue, and lack of sleep. Lowering the temperature of blood vessels can inhibit dilation, while raising it can increase dilation.

So when a migraine occurs, the best option is to reduce the temperature.

If I remember correctly, patients with migraine would rather avoid washing their faces with cold water, as this would increase the discomfort they feel and could easily lead to catching a cold.

But if you want to enjoy the ice water treatment no matter what, then I can't stop you.

“……….So annoying….”

"........."

The sound of running water was still ringing, but it couldn't block out Ji Ye's voice, so every word he spoke reached my ears clearly.

Whether they are boys or girls, regardless of one's position in society, there are a certain number of people who use rude words.

This is not something strange. In fact, the world is full of all kinds of people.

However, judging from her performance at the last celebration party, Ji Ye's words should not be rude...........

So it is likely that she is troubled by something now...

It’s not entirely certain. At that time, it is possible that he was concerned about his external image.

Then making a direct test at this time may be a good choice.

".............Is your headache coming back again?"

After thinking it over, I tried to ask her quietly and with concern, but it seemed to scare her anyway.

"Wow, don't come out of nowhere."

"Oh, sorry, I didn't mean to."

“Really…”

Ji Ye rubbed his temples on both sides out of habit.

To avoid embarrassment, I reached out and turned on the water on the other side.

"........You seem to be in a somewhat worrying state right now.....I would like to ask if the karaoke event has ended while I was away?"

"..........No.........."

It took Jiye quite a while to answer my question. I don't know if it was because he hated communicating with me, or because he had a headache and couldn't respond to me quickly..........

So, at this time, I recalled the scenes of the past.

In fact, Ji Ye didn't communicate much with others. Whether it was the class's performance after class, the previous celebration banquet, or the current KTV event. Regardless of gender, few girls talked to her.

First of all, the possibility of [exclusion] can be ruled out. Even if Himeno has some unpleasant qualities, Ichinose will never allow [exclusion] to happen within the class.

There is no need to ask for the reason, Ichinose is such a gentle person.

The students in other classes were also unable to do this, a fact I could easily determine based on the atmosphere.

"........So it's the migraine coming back?"

".............Yeah, I feel a little tired...and in pain."

Ji Ye answered my questions absentmindedly, with a somewhat impatient look on his face. I also took this opportunity to carefully observe the appearance of the individual named 'Ji Ye Xue'.

Himeno's skin is well maintained, at least it is elastic to the naked eye. Maybe that's how girls' skin is, and Ichinose's body is also soft.

The black ponytail falls to the waist, and there are some light blue strands mixed in between the hair color, both inside and outside. To dye her hair like this, she must have her own ideas and a relatively independent personality.

The look on her face from the side was full of annoyance, just like what she just muttered. Would it be more appropriate to say that she was disgusted?

There is a blue bear pendant on the mobile phone placed on the side of the sink.

The length of the skirt fluttering in the wind is noticeable, probably because it is designed to be the shortest allowed by the school. It is obviously shorter than other students, and she may be a girl who lives in a world with a one or two centimeter error.

By the way, aren’t girls afraid of others peeping at the color and style of their underwear?

Just as I was thinking this, suddenly a breeze blew and lifted up Jiye's skirt. Jiye didn't care and let her skirt dance freely, so I could take in the scenery under her skirt.

"........."

Safety pants are a terrible invention.

I sighed in my heart, imitating Okabe's usual remarks.

"........What? That disgusting look of yours."

Ji Ye's disgusted expression hit me directly, and I felt that I was insulted quite strongly for a moment.

In short, I must not let the other party find out that I was peeping. No matter how I look at it, it will not end well for me.

"Sorry, I was wondering if you, Jiye, were forced to agree to participate in the event."

"........Huh, what are you talking about?"

"You don't really want to attend this kind of party, do you? I heard you mutter 'so annoying' just now......"

"........I was just complaining about the onset of a headache."
