Chapter 19: Be Kind and Become Friends!
Be Kind and Become Friends!
Let's become friends with Ayanokoji!
–But what exactly can girls do to become friends with each other?
In my previous life, there were girls in my class who I was quite talkative with, and I wasn't someone who had difficulty communicating to the point that I could call myself socially awkward.
However, I'm not very proactive when it comes to romance.
In other words, I have never had the experience of trying to get close to a girl.
As I gazed at Ayanokoji's lovely back from my seat, classes came to an end during lunch break.
Today, I had thought I would eat my lunch with Ayanokoji's group of girls instead of Nagumo, but the important thing was that Ayanokoji wasn't usually in the group.
"Huh...? Where's Ayanokoji?"
I asked the girls, who had already moved the desks and set up a table for four.
"Today is the day of duty, so she's going to work first. She's so diligent."
One of the group members answered.
Following her gaze, I saw Ayanokoji diligently erasing the notes written on the blackboard.
I approached Ayanokoji and tried to sound cheerful so as not to sound unnatural.
"Ayanokoji, let's have lunch."
"Ah, Saotome-san...! I'm happy to be invited, but..."
Ayanokoji glances at the blackboard, which is still not completely erased.
With Ijuin and the others, the characters of this manga are full of incredibly serious people.
"What's wrong? You can do that after you eat, right?"
"No, that's not it..."
It's not very clear.
I tilt my head and wait for Ayanokoji to speak.
Ayanokoji seemed to have picked up on my intention to not leave until I was satisfied, and she began to mutter something.
"Nagumo-san..."
"Nagumo?"
She was about to say something about when I suddenly realized something.
In the bottom right corner of the blackboard, in the column for the person on duty, the words "Ayanokoji" and "Nagumo" were written.
Is he on duty too?
"We had divided up the roles so that I would be in charge of the diary and Nagumo-san would be in charge of erasing the blackboard, but at lunchtime, he immediately went off somewhere and didn't come back, so..."
So Ayanokoji is cleaning the blackboard instead.
Making such a beautiful girl go through all that trouble is not something a man should be esteemed for.
I was angry at Nagumo, but perhaps this was an opportunity.
If he is kind to Ayanokoji, perhaps their relationship will naturally deepen.
First of all, they're classmates.
There is no reason to reject someone who wants to deepen their affection.
"I'll go find Nagumo and put him on duty, or I'll punch him."
"No, you don't have to hit him...!"
I waved to Ayanokoji and ran out into the hallway.
Nagumo himself usually tells me where he is likely to be.
It will be more efficient than if someone other than me were to search for him.
At this time of day, a sunny, deserted place is...
