Chapter 06
Because of their seating positions, Saki had become familiar with Mikoshiba at the table in front of her and Yu Kashima at the next table.
Saki asked, "By the way, did Kashima-san really join the drama club?"
Kashima Yu nodded, "Yes."
With an obviously happy expression, she told Saki, "When I was in the third year of middle school, I came to Romance Junior High School to watch the school festival. That's when I saw Hori-senpai's drama performance. It was really amazing! His performance and acting skills were really strong! So after graduation, I plan to apply to Romance Academy and follow Hori-senpai to join the drama club!"
Saki clapped her hands in confusion, "Wow, I see. You two have a connection."
Kashima smiled happily, "Now the senior has decided to nominate me to be the male lead of the drama club. I must study acting hard and not let the senior down."
Saki nodded, "Come on, come on!"
Then she paused, "By the way, does Hori-senpai know that you are a girl?"
Kashima tilted his head, smiled brightly and blinked, "Hmm? I don't think you know."
“…”
Kashima rubbed the back of his head and said, "Hahaha, I think the senior's expression will be very interesting when he finds out the truth."
Are you naturally black?
Mikoshiba walked in from outside, looking suspicious.
Saki: “What’s the matter?”
Mikoshiba sat down with a serious expression, facing Saki, "I suspect someone is following me."
Saki: ...
Mikoshiba was furious: "Hey! I'm telling the truth! Don't underestimate my intuition."
Saki quickly smoothed her fur, "Okay, okay, then did you follow back?"
Mikoshiba was stunned for a moment, "Huh? How do you counter tracking?"
Saki doesn't know either, but that doesn't stop her from having theoretical knowledge.
"You pretend you don't know someone's following you, then use your movements to trick them into following you to some special place, like a mirrored area that reflects your shadow, or a place where you can get behind them... and then you catch them off guard and capture them!"
Miko Chai's eyes lit up when he heard this, "It seems very powerful!"
Saki: “Yeah, huh?”
Mikoshiba looked at her, then looked at her again, wanting to say something but stopping himself.
Saki was probably already familiar with his expression, "What's wrong?"
Mikoshiba lowered his head and crossed his fingers quietly, "Um, Oda... can you..."
Saki: "Going with you?"
Mikoshiba looked up with surprise: "Is it okay?"
Saki: "Okay, okay, it's OK."
When school was over, Mikoshiba looked at her expectantly.
Saki packed her bag and said, "Let's go?"
Mikoshiba nodded.
The two of them came out of the classroom together.
After walking for a while, we were almost out of the campus...
Saki stopped walking. "Wait, don't you think there's a problem?"
Mikoshiba humbly asked, "What's the problem?"
Saki: "Since you felt like you were being followed on campus, then the person following you must be one of our classmates, right? Of course, it could also be a teacher or something like that."
Mikoshiba nodded.
Saki rubbed her chin. "We both rushed out right after school. That person shouldn't be able to catch up that quickly. What if he has to participate in club activities or something?"
Mikoshiba was stunned, "Huh?"
Saki: "So is it possible that the person can't catch up to us at all, and our current plan won't work at all."
“…”
The analysis is absolutely correct.
Mikoshiba was dejected, and then asked pitifully: "Then, what should we do?"
Saki: "We'll have to talk about it tomorrow!"
Ozu Chai: "..."
As they were about to leave the school, Saki waved to him and said, "See you tomorrow, Mikoshiba."
Mikoshiba looked aggrieved and said, "Okay, you have to come earlier tomorrow."
Saki: “OK OK.”
Watching Saki leave the school, Mikoshiba was still staring at her departing back.
Suddenly, he shuddered unconsciously and looked around vigilantly.
This feeling...!
Why was he being targeted as soon as Saki left?
Mikoshiba immediately ran over and tried to catch up with Saki, but after leaving the school gate, he could no longer see Saki's back.
Mikoshiba quietly crossed her arms.
Yes, a little scared.
*
The next day, Mikoshiba told Saki about this.
Saki was shocked: "Is it so smart?"
Ozu Chai: "..."
He stared at Saki with grievance, his eyes red, as if he was accusing her.
Saki coughed, "Okay, okay, I shouldn't have left so early yesterday. Are you hurt?"
After being coaxed, Mikoshiba finally put away the aggrieved expression on his face. He shook his head and said, "Not really. The feeling of being watched disappeared on my way home."
Saki nodded, "Seems like that's good news? At least that person isn't trying to harm you."
Otherwise, they would definitely be ambushed on the road.
Saki soothed him, "Don't worry, we'll work together today and we'll definitely catch him!"
Mikoshiba: "Okay!"
…
Then Saki stared at Mikoshiba speechlessly, "This action together does not include going to the bathroom, you understand?"
Mikoshiba grabbed Saki's sleeve, "B-but, what if that guy ambushes me in the bathroom?"
Saki was shocked: "That person is definitely a pervert!"
Mikoshiba said confidently: "Is that so? That's why I'm worried about perverts."
this……
Saki looked at Mikoshiba's face.
Well, it's understandable that he's worried about being a pervert.
but.
Saki tugged at her sleeves frantically: "Then you can't drag me to the men's room!"
Mikoshiba tried to cling on, "Just wait for me at the door."
Saki: "Are you some kind of girl who needs to hold hands with you in the bathroom?"
Mikoshiba: "B-but I'm scared!"
“…”
The tug-of-war between the two soon attracted the attention of others.
They looked at the two of them, their eyes seemed to tell something.
Saki froze, then whispered, "You don't want to be thought of as a pervert, do you? Let go!"
Mikoshiba hesitated, "But...what if he really follows me to the bathroom?"
Saki: "Don't worry, it's not a ghost, it won't happen."
However, as soon as these words were spoken, Mikoshiba became obviously even more frightened.
He stared at Saki, with a look of help and grievance on his face, which was very different from the evil and charming handsome boy he looked when they first met.
Perhaps this is Mikoshiba's "true face".
Saki was almost softened by his gaze.
Finally, she reluctantly gave in. "Okay, I'll wait for you at the door, okay?"
Mikoshiba finally smiled, "Woo, Oda, thank you."
Saki waited at the door of the men's restroom with an embarrassed look on her face. Facing the gazes of the boys coming out of the restroom or about to enter the restroom, she couldn't help but cover her face.
Then, she seemed to notice some kind of gaze.
Saki immediately glanced around vigilantly, and then her eyes locked on a tall man who was trying to hide behind a corner but was not very successful.
Intuition locked!
OK, so it’s you, kid.
Saki rolled up her sleeves and rushed forward.
Coming to the corner, Saki was quick-witted and took the initiative, grabbing the other person's tie and saying, "Who are you, monster?"
The other person was pulled out unexpectedly by her, and the tie tightened, locking his neck firmly.
“Ahem…! Help!”
Even the notebook and pen in my hand fell.
Saki hesitated.
This familiar tall man...
"Ah, I remember you were, you were... you were that person."
Well, it looks familiar, but I completely forgot the name.
Saki only remembered that he was the guy who fell asleep halfway through the school gate that she met at the beginning of the school year. It seemed that he was also the person Chiyo liked?
The other party finally freed his neck, "It's me, Umetaro Nozaki."
Did they exchange names?
I have no recollection. Never mind.
Saki is now almost certain that Nozaki is the one who followed Mikoshiba.
She narrowed her eyes slightly, "Nozaki? Why are you following Mikoshiba?"
Then she noticed the scattered notebooks on the floor.
Saki picked it up and took a look, and found that it was densely written with some things.
First, there are two Q-version big-headed characters, one of which looks very similar to Mikoshiba, and then a "→" is drawn. On the right is a Q-version big-headed girl with bangs, half-tied long hair, and a bow at the back.
It also looks a little familiar.
What follows is [Preliminary Analysis of Personality].
There is a long list of densely packed items.
From the surface personality when you first meet to the inner personality after spending some time together.
Saki rubbed her chin.
I have to say that this is really appropriate for Mikoshiba!
She continued reading.
The following is the same layout, but this time it is from a Q version girl → Q version boy, and some question marks are drawn above the arrow to indicate uncertainty.
Saki stared.
The following is still a character analysis, but as it was written, it seemed that the author himself denied it and added some new supplements and changes.
On the bottom line, it was obvious that Nozaki had not finished writing.
[Event: Accompanying to the toilet.]
Location: Toilet.
What happened: Mamiko was suspected of being followed by a bad guy (or perhaps a crazy fan of Suzuki), and was too scared to go to the bathroom. Suzuki discovered the clues and gently accompanied Mamiko, waiting for her at the bathroom door.
Saki: ………
How should I put it? It looks familiar, but...
but.
Well, how do I put it?
Saki stared at the words.
"Isn't it a bit too perverted for Suzuki to wait at the door of the girls' bathroom? And it will deduct a lot of points, right?"
Nozaki was shocked: "What? Is it like this?"
Saki nodded. "And what's the relationship between Suzuki and Mamiko? Why are they waiting at the door all of a sudden?"
Nozaki: "Well, at this stage, the affection should be growing?"
Saki: "It still feels weird. Some things just don't feel the same when the genders are reversed."
Nozaki rested his chin on his hand, looking educated. "I see. So, it would be better if Suzuki showed his timid side and Mamiko accompanied him to the bathroom?"
Saki: “Maybe…?”
She looked down again, and a silver light flashed in her mind.
"Who is Suzuki, and who is Mamiko!!"
Why do they look damn familiar!
