Real teaching, hypocritical gray life

"Ichinose... I don't think that kind of naive girl has that kind of ability. It's more likely that Kanzaki did it. The most important thing is that, in my expectation, I speculate that your unexpected performance in the sports festival is related to the conspiracy in your class."

"Ichinose's abilities are not weak, and neither is Kanzaki."

Although he claimed to the outside world that he was not voluntarily preserving his strength and deliberately concealing all his achievements, but that he was ordered by Kanzaki and it was Ichinose's strategic designation, this result did not seem to be accepted by the leaders of other classes.

Of course, in this case, I naturally cannot reveal the facts. Otherwise, I will be more suspicious.

Even though I don't know how they got to this point, I can imagine it.

A series of strange things will be noticed to some extent. The means of playing tricks on the surface are repeated over and over again. I guess other classes have already taken the special exam rules and stated the facts into consideration.

This way, in this guy's mind, the existence of Kanzaki and I will become even more suspicious...

During this time, his eyes kept observing the changes in my facial expression.

But he had no evidence, and considering the possible culprits lurking behind the scenes, he would definitely not draw a one-sided conclusion.

Having said that, Ryuen's current offensive is probably not aimed at our A class, after all, the gap is too big............

No, depending on the situation, the other party will also show their claws.

"However, I also want to thank you for telling us the truth about the uninhabited island. After all, most of our class don't seem to know this."

"Hey, after all, he's just a follower with better motor skills............"

"......"

"And you didn't refute it at all. This is really an exaggerated reaction."

"............I would do so if I had evidence to deny it."

Although I don't know how they investigated me, fortunately my energy conservationism worked. If my abilities were below average except for sports, I would only be noticed in the relevant special exams.

Results are objective and real. They are recorded in a concrete form, so there is no way to cheat.

"Then thank me very much. And at the same time, tell Ichinose, Kanzaki, or whoever is behind this that this is really stupid."

"Don't show off, and act in secret. In other words, you let the enemy see your strategy too early. Although I like tactics such as surprise attacks and assassinations, I am still defeated by the unexpectedness of these tactics, but don't think that the same method will work easily. You should pass this sentence on to the people behind the scenes in your class."

It would be better to just keep silent.

However, Ryuuen, like Sakayanagi, believed that there was a mastermind in our class.

And they also showed the information they got without hesitation.

Is he enjoying the hunt?

If that were the case, you would definitely fall into the other party's trap.

Because this idea is really easy to understand.

"Uh, I'll pass it on to Ichinose."

Although this is not the method I implement, if my actions were not biased, I would also be determined to become such an existence.

"Sir, our restaurant is already open for business. If you would like to eat, please place your order. Also, [sharing a bowl] is strictly prohibited in our restaurant."

The shop owner's steady voice came into my ears again, and our conversation ended there.

I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Although Ryuen's behavior is different from the impression he has given me so far, that is from the perspective of a young man, and his childish words and actions are normal...

In short, order your food as quickly as possible, enjoy your ramen, and then leave this troubled place.

"Um, please give me a bowl of soy sauce--"

"Hey, store owner, please prepare two bowls of duel ramen."

Ryuuen interrupted me while I was still talking, with an ambiguous smile on his face.

[Duel Ramen]............What is that? Is there such a type of ramen?

At first, I didn’t realize the seriousness of the problem. I just felt a little impressed that the other person could eat two bowls of ramen in one go.

However, when the shop owner heard this, he paused.

"Boy, are you sure?"

His head tilted slightly, and his solid back made me feel an immense amount of pressure.

【If you continue to stay here, something bad will happen. 】

There was this [intuition] that flashed through my mind.

“The event should still be going on, right?”

"............Point out the person you are fighting against."

Then, Ryuuen put his arm around my neck.

"We are not companions, but enemies."

"I see. I accept your resolution."

"Wait, I didn't agree to a duel. I just came here......"

So, Yamada put his palms on my shoulders again, and together with Ryuen, he took one side each.

Although I don't want to participate in any duels, I don't want to get into trouble with people from Class C in the future. I want to avoid all kinds of physical accidents as much as possible.

However, it is also necessary to understand that the so-called [activity] refers to............

I turned my attention to the posters in the store——

"......"

"Hey, kid, do you have a problem?"

"No, no problem............"

The shop owner put on a ferocious expression and stared at me with wide eyes, and I felt a little uncomfortable.

He suppressed the bad thoughts and turned to question Ryuen beside him, but inadvertently caught a glimpse of Ishizaki's gloating expression.

"......"

So that's why. No wonder the atmosphere among the trio was so unusual since they entered the store.

If I hadn't walked in here by accident, they would have been the two who needed to fight.

Before I could finish guessing, and before I could refuse this inexplicable confrontation, the store owner placed two bowls of ramen in front of us, the spicy taste of which could be felt just by the color.

"I'm in a good mood today. Even if you fail the challenge, I will help you pay for the points for this ramen meal."

With a triumphant smile, Ryuuen gave him a teasing look.

"No, that's not the problem... Do you really think you can eat this kind of ramen?"

Even if I don't eat it, I know how spicy it is. It's not the kind of ramen that most people can handle. And the poster says it's fully edible, which means - you have to swallow the chili, right?!

As if noticing my discovery, the shop owner showed a surprised look.

"I didn't expect you to be able to recognize it. But don't worry, I have specially processed this Indian devil pepper, and the spiciness value will not be 104 million SHU. Although I think it is more than enough to deal with students like you."

"Indian devil pepper? Don't underestimate us, uncle."

Long Yuan, who had never heard of the name of the Soul-Breaking Pepper, was full of fighting spirit and swallowed it without hesitation.

Immediately afterwards, the other party put down his chopsticks and bowl.

Slowly, his expression turned serious.

"..............Do you have any ice water?"

I had to prepare for the next challenge, but the reality was quite cruel.

"If you're thirsty, there's soup in the ramen, sir."

The shop owner smiled kindly.

(From the perspective of Ichinose Honami)

I suppressed the violently beating heart in my chest and tried to maintain a "calm" expression in front of everyone. Now Luo Jun was sitting next to me.

Whenever Luo Jun is by my side, an atmosphere similar to happiness, or a sense of satisfaction, spreads through my heart like waves.

My body seemed to be drawn by the warm spring breeze and calmed down.

That burning feeling can even melt the consciousness, and when you recover you will feel blessed as if you are surrounded by the whole world.

............I had already noticed it a long time ago.

Now, I am in love with Luo Jun.

Why? — I asked myself. But I couldn't figure it out.

We have only known each other for a little over half a year, but I can't stay calm in the face of this relationship. I must face this emotion squarely.

I can feel an extraordinary sense of familiarity from Luo Jun, but when I look closer, it is followed by a sense of strangeness. I can't even clearly understand what aspect of the other person attracts me.

We cannot easily regard it as fate. There must be those emotions that are connected by chance and necessity. If we listen carefully, we will derive them from what we understand deep in our hearts............

Time will probably give the answer, right?

Maybe it was the moment when Luo Jun told the truth. Although he didn't know how long Luo Jun wanted to conceal it, he must be a trustworthy person.

With such love, the heart is naturally filled with happiness, and the whole body and mind are natural.

Right now, it’s the exact opposite.

My heart felt like it was about to burst.

It’s not that something bad happened emotionally, it’s not a bad thing, it’s pretty comfortable pain right now.

Maybe I exaggerated a little, it's just the two words "tense".

Everyone dreams of touching something forbidden.

People have an amazing ability to masturbate, taking pleasure in imagining actions that they cannot perform.

It's a bit embarrassing to say it, but I really fantasize about doing something with Luo Jun that goes beyond an ordinary boyfriend-girlfriend relationship.

Just like now, feeding food into Luo Jun's mouth.

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

I used words to cover up my inner nervousness, and at the same time, I gently touched Luo Jun's lips with the fork with chicken nuggets. Because I was afraid that Luo Jun would be disgusted, I just kept it vague, even though I wanted to touch that softness with my own hands.

As long as you do this reasonable thing as if it is a matter of course, then even if the thing itself is an act of your own will, it will not make others feel strange.

Even though I was thinking this, I was no longer able to pay attention to the gazes of people around me.

With expectant and calm eyes, he stared at the corner of Luo Jun's mouth.

The fork was taken away......

Woohoo~
