Chapter 1 Chapter 1 Am I not strong?
The scorching sun makes people dizzy.
During lunch break, the playground was very quiet.
Only the sports facilities scattered all over the ground silently tell of the lively scene not long ago - the campus sports meeting.
Groups of students sat in the cool shade of the trees, drinking soda and chatting idly.
Some were waiting for the afternoon game to start.
…Some were waiting to slip out in the afternoon.
Airi Momozawa is clearly the latter.
She fanned herself with her palms and leaned against the tree bored.
"Why hasn't the teacher come yet? I'm really going to faint from the heat."
The cool breeze made Momozawa Airi's depressed mood a little relieved.
She glanced at her phone and saw that there was little time left before the agreed time.
"Don't worry, Airi! We've got a tip from Yuzuki, who's guarding the playground entrance! The teacher will be passing by soon!"
Sakura Chiyoko looked sincere, trying to convey passionate energy.
Nozaki Umetaro wrote calmly, "How are you going to faint later?"
Momozawa Airi gestured for a while and said, "When the teacher comes, I'll pretend to take a walk with you guys, then I'll pretend to faint from the heat and successfully get a sick leave note."
She rubbed her hands together eagerly: "Then I can leave school smoothly in the afternoon!"
Sakura Chiyo clapped her hands. "It's a very careful plan!"
However, the reality is cruel.
Such a meticulous plan ended in failure because the teacher was faster than Sakura Chiyo and Nozaki Umetaro.
Momozawa Airi looked at her teacher who caught her steadily and was about to call the emergency number with tears in her eyes.
"Teacher... there's really no need to go to the hospital... I can just go home and rest for a while..."
The teacher's face was full of sternness: "Your health is not a trivial matter! Taozawa, you still don't pay enough attention to your health!"
Momozawa Airi: "..."
Momozawa Airi looked at the teacher's hands that were firmly supporting her shoulders, and sighed in her heart.
...I'm going to hear it again.
She looks like an ordinary JK, but she has had an inexplicable superpower since birth.
As long as there is physical contact, she can know what others are thinking.
This superpower is quite useful. Almost everyone thinks that Momozawa Airi is a beautiful girl with very high emotional intelligence. She seems to know what they are thinking and is very considerate.
In response to this, Momozawa Airi said——
hey-hey.
...So she is an extraordinary JK girl with high emotional intelligence!
But sometimes, she doesn't want to hear other people's voices.
Therefore, Momozawa Airi usually deliberately controls her physical contact with other people.
…
Sure enough, almost in an instant, the teacher's voice rang in her mind.
【Why is Momozawa sick all the time???】
[Is her health too poor? Her family situation doesn't seem very optimistic indeed! !]
How about visiting her home this afternoon and having a good chat with her grandmother?!
...This superpower can sometimes save her life.
Momozawa Airi: "?"
Momozawa Airi stood up straight: "Teacher, I'm fine! You are really a miracle worker!"
…If her grandmother knew that she pretended to be sick and sneaked out of school, she would be doomed!
*
In the end, he escaped the home visit by acting cute and adorable.
And I got a sick leave note with the simple reason of "menstrual dysmenorrhea".
Nozaki's comment was: "I told you not to put on such a show."
He quickly wrote down the details on paper and decided that the plot of his new chapter could not be designed according to this scene.
Momozawa Airi: "...Let's go, keep playing."
She brushed off the dust that had just touched her body, took her iced soda and schoolbag, and swaggered towards the school gate.
Looking at her back, Sakura Chiyo sighed: "Ah, Airi is really too hard-working. She has to go so far to work part-time in such hot weather."
Nozaki paused with the pen in his hand: "Part-time job?"
Chiyo: "Yes, yes. I heard that he is working part-time at the university."
Nozaki: "?"
Nozaki began to work quickly with the pen in his hand: "What part-time job?"
——Part-time substitute teaching.
Sitting in the air-conditioned train, Momozawa Airi felt like she was alive again and took out her cell phone to check the message.
[Maeno Takeshi, 2:00 PM, XX Building, Classroom XX, Mathematics.]
Momozawa Airi: "..."
No matter how many times she saw this name, she couldn't help but question it——
With such a manly name, will the teacher really find out that she is a fake?
*
A few days ago, the genuine Takeshi Maeno, who was about to skip school to go to a concert, explained it this way:
"This class is being taught by a substitute teacher today. This teacher is notoriously perfunctory in our class. When he calls the roll, he just asks people to answer."
The pirated Maeno Takeshi - Airi Momozawa wondered: "Then why don't you just ask your roommate to help you...?"
Maeno Takeshi: “…”
You can't say that I'm deliberately trying to create job opportunities for you.
He and Momozawa Airi had been neighbors since childhood and knew her family situation.
Although they don't know the specific details, almost all the neighbors have only seen Momozawa Airi and her grandmother.
...No one would be so low as to ask Momozawa Airi, who has been working part-time since she was a child, "Why don't you have a father or a mother?"
Like all caring neighbors, Takeshi Maeno, who has had a heart warmer than a boiled egg since childhood, wants to help Momozawa Airi.
But Momozawa Airi always refuses direct charity from others.
So this is the only roundabout way.
Maeno Takeshi said casually, "My relationship with my roommate is very bad. I don't even have any friends in college."
Momozawa Airi looked at him with eyes filled with sympathy: "How pitiful..."
Maeno Takeshi, who inexplicably felt like he was being given charity: “…………”
Maeno Takeshi cut the Gordian knot: "...We won't be discovered anyway! We've only been in school for a few days, so we don't know our classmates very well!"
"Just go ahead and don't worry! I'll transfer the money to you later!"
Momozawa Airi, who really needed money: "..."
She thought about it and said, "Okay."
The sound of the train arriving at the station interrupted Momozawa Airi's memories.
She glanced at the bus stop sign and quickly got up and got off the bus.
I almost missed my stop.
Following the navigation on her mobile phone, Airi Momozawa successfully arrived at the gate of Touto University.
Looking at the magnificent school gate and school sign, the sophomore couldn't help but swallow her saliva.
Is this the top prestigious school?
She felt that everyone around her seemed to be branded as a "top student."
Momozawa Airi subconsciously looked down at her clothes—an ordinary dress.
I changed out of my high school uniform in the station restroom.
No one would realize that she is a high school student...right?
Active high school student Momozawa Airi mustered up her courage and walked towards her destination with great momentum.
…
After walking around the school for a long time, Momozawa Airi saw two familiar tall figures from afar on the road.
One blonde, one brunette.
The two of them stood at the door of a building, chatting about something.
Momozawa Airi: "..."
What's going on?! Why did I encounter so many unexpected situations during my part-time job today?
Not only did the teacher almost tell her grandmother about her affairs, but she also met her neighbors, Furuya Rei and Morobushi Kagemitsu, who had grown up almost in the same pants!
The Tokyo University campus is so huge, how come I happened to run into these two familiar Tokyo University students...
Momozawa Airi looked at the time in confusion, and finally decided to take another route.
“…”
Being late is a small matter, but if those two black-hearted brothers, Furuya Rei and Morobushi Kagemitsu, find out that she is at Toudou University at this time, she will be in trouble.
As if he were a shrewd person, Fūya Rei could tell at a glance that she was faking illness to work part-time.
Morofushi Jingguang, who always has a gentle smile on his face, would gently persuade her, "Airi, you should focus on your studies. We will help you with other things."
...and these two people who grew up with her will definitely go to her grandmother to complain.
Momozawa Airi took a few steps back in fear and decisively walked towards another long road.
*
The result of taking a detour is that you will naturally be late.
Momozawa Airi crouched down and watched from the back for a long time, confirming that there were only two seats left in the classroom.
“…”
She looked at the two seats with a bit of confusion.
There are two seats on the left and right, and in the middle is a fierce-looking boy.
The other person lowered his eyes and stared at the book on the table, looking very difficult to deal with.
...Momozawa Airi is most afraid of mean people.
At this moment, the teacher at the podium began to call the roll in a flat voice.
It's not in the order of surnames, it's random.
Momozawa Airi, who had already received the full amount from Maeno Takeshi: "..."
She gritted her teeth, sneaked into the classroom through the back door, and sat down in one of the only two empty seats.
Momozawa Airi's movements attracted the attention of the fierce boy.
The other person tilted his head slightly, raised his eyelids and glanced at her.
He is a very good-looking boy.
Her hair is slightly curly, looking like she just woke up with frizzy hair.
There was a hint of indifference in his clear eyes.
The expression looks... a little unhappy?
Still impatient?
"?" Momozawa Airi blinked.
The boy's collar was casually open, without any buttons fastened, revealing his slender neck line.
...In short, every corner of this person reveals a rebellious temperament.
Looks very tough!!
Momozawa Airi's heart tightened, and she subconsciously arched her eyebrows and smiled sweetly to show her friendliness.
"Hello."
Airi Momozawa: ovo
Don’t hit someone who smiles at you!
"Hello." The boy nodded slightly in response, his eyes lingered on her for a moment, then slowly moved away.
He continued to stare at the phone screen on the table.
Being ignored, Airi Momozawa: "..."
Forget it.
Momozawa Airi turned her head and looked at the teacher at the podium who had a look on his face that said, "Let me see who's missing."
She began to listen attentively for the name, ready to be called at any moment.
…
After a while, Momozawa Airi still didn't wait for the teacher to call "Maeno Takeshi".
Instead, the boy next to her was called out.
"Hagihara Kenji."
"arrive."
The boy responded lazily.
The sound is mellow and magnetic.
"..." Momozawa Airi couldn't help but glance at him.
Oh, so his name is Kenji Hagiwara.
...His voice is also very nice.
Momozawa Airi thought that her childhood friends Furuya Rei and Morofushi Kagemitsu were rare to see in the pond.
From childhood to adulthood, she has rarely met a boy whose looks can compete with these two.
And the classmate Kenji Hagiwara in front of us has successfully made it into the top 3 of "Momozawa Airi's favorite handsome guy on the ikemen"!
The three of them are equally good looking!!
Just as Momozawa Airi was daydreaming happily, the boy who had been staring at the screen suddenly looked up and looked around casually.
Then he caught Momozawa Airi in the act of peeking at him.
Momozawa Airi: "..."
She looked away awkwardly, and was about to rub her hands and explain when "Hagiwara Kenji" spoke up: "Are you staring at me because you didn't bring your textbook?"
Momozawa Airi: "?"
She looked around for a while and found that there was a thick book on everyone's desk.
Including "Kenji Hagiwara".
Momozawa Airi: "..."
Maeno Takeshi forgot to give her the textbook!!
Momozawa Airi took advantage of the situation and said, "...Yes, yes, yes! Hagiwara-senpai, you are so kind!"
Then she watched as "Hagiwara Kenji"'s expression froze for a moment.
It looks like he's angry.
Momozawa Airi: "?"
Momozawa Airi: How come he gets angry even though I praised him? QAQ
It's really hard to mess with! It's a pool surface that can only be admired from a distance!
"..." "Hagiwara Kenji" seemed to have a lot to say, but he finally picked out the one he thought was most urgent, "...We are classmates, no need to call me senior."
Momozawa Airi just realized: "..."
She pursed her lips, and before she could even open her mouth to make a sound, "Hagiwara Kenji" suddenly reached out and pushed the open textbook to the middle: "You can use the same one as me."
Momozawa Airi: "...Thank you!"
Just as she was about to say "Hagiwara", she suddenly remembered the boy's expression just now.
Momozawa Airi reasoned carefully and decided to be more friendly: "Thank you, Kenji-senpai."
I regretted it the moment I opened my mouth.
High school student Momozawa Airi subconsciously wanted to call the other person senior.
"Hagihara Kenji": "…………"
The expression of "Kenji Hagiwara" seems to contain a thousand words.
It seems like it’s not just because she calls him senior…?
Momozawa Airi: "?"
Just as the other party was about to explain, Momozawa Airi accidentally knocked the pen off the table.
"Hey, hey, sorry, I'll pick it up for you!"
Momozawa Airi bent down to reach the pen that had rolled to the feet of "Kenji Hagiwara".
…but he bent down too hastily and accidentally poked the other person’s calf with his fingertips.
Momozawa Airi: "..."
Too bad, "Kenji Hagiwara" won't get even angrier...
Suddenly being touched by a stranger, the seemingly good-tempered "Hagiwara Kenji" froze for a moment and didn't say anything.
Momozawa Airi breathed a sigh of relief and was about to get up when the other person's voice suddenly rang in her mind.
So cute.
There was a hint of shyness in the voice.
Momozawa Airi: "..."
Momozawa Airi: "?"
Are you talking about her???
She stood up with a confused look on her face and glanced at "Kenji Hagiwara" anxiously.
The other party still had a very arrogant expression on his face.
There is no hint of shyness.
Momozawa Airi, who has always had good reading comprehension, can even subjectively exaggerate the meaning of "What are you looking at?"
Momozawa Airi: "???"
What?? What's the contrast??
…
"Maeno Takeshi."
Full of doubts and almost thinking that she had misheard, Momozawa Airi secretly glanced at "Hagiwara Kenji" again.
...Well, he doesn't seem like a shy person.
"Maeno Takeshi."
Take another look.
...but he's really good-looking.
"Maeno Takeshi, are you here?"
Suddenly remembering that she is now Maeno Takeshi's Momozawa Airi: "..."
Momozawa Airi said stubbornly, "...Here I am! Here I come!"
"Shout sooner next time."
The teacher didn't care, just casually made a mark with a pen and continued to call the next name without any fluctuation.
“…”
Momozawa Airi let out a breath.
Fortunately...we were not discovered.
The task was completed, and she relaxed with a sense of relief, and buried her head in tidying up her schoolbag which was bulging with school uniforms.
“…” But she always felt an inexplicable burning gaze cast on her.
Momosawa Airi: "...?"
She looked up blankly and found that her classmate "Kenji Hagiwara" was looking at her with complicated eyes.
"Hagiwara Kenji": "...Your name is Maeno Takeshi?"
The voice sounded hesitant.
As if he couldn't believe it.
Momozawa Airi, who knew that this name was completely inconsistent with her temperament, said: "...Yes!"
Gotta keep acting up to the end!
She was a little afraid that "Hagiwara Kenji" would tell everyone about this, so she puffed out her chest and said righteously, "Am I not fierce?"
"Hagihara Kenji": "…………"
He opened his mouth with a complicated expression, as if he wanted to say something.
At this time, the teacher called the next name.
"Jinpei Matsuda."
"Hagiwara Kenji" swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth and replied dryly, "Here."
Momozawa Airi: "?"
Momozawa Airi: "??"
All sorts of thoughts flashed through her mind, such as "Did I call his name wrong?" and "No, which one is his name?"
Finally locked on one possibility——
So you also ordered it for someone else???
colleagues???
