Chapter 19 Chocolate Parfait is a Friend
When Amako Akina looked at the message, she couldn't help but drift off for a second.
Well... since Gong You said that, they probably don't have any objections to me going back to the volleyball club.
Seeing Miyako's expression, Akina Amamiya was a little worried that she might get annoyed by too many messages later on.
She was very patient while replying to those messages one by one, but she was indeed a little tired.
[Tian Sui: So, have you guys made any progress while I was away?]
Her attitude had already wavered, and she was only asking this question on purpose.
[Gong You: Of course! I'm improving every day!]
Even through the screen, you could almost see the blond boy's smug expression.
Well, she was indeed somewhat tempted by Gong You's suggestion.
But let's leave it for now, since their captain said that last time.
[Tian Sui: I think I might go back to observe again after some time.]
[Tianhui: But I won't be going these next few days.]
[Tianhui: I need to rest properly.]
Indeed, after finishing the paintings she gave to Miyako, Akina Amaho felt completely drained.
She doesn't have the energy to draw another one for the time being; she needs some time to recover.
[Gong You: Okay]
[Gong You: But you said the same thing last week.]
[Gong You: You're not going to lie to me again, are you?]
Akina Amasui laughed.
[Tian Sui: I'm not lying to you this time.]
After sending the message, she turned off her phone screen and returned to the classroom, where she had just left for a short while, to continue listening attentively to the lesson.
Gong You sent a message saying, "[Then I believe you this time]", but did not receive a reply.
He waited a few more minutes, confirmed that the message was still unread, pursed his lips, and turned off his phone.
Gong You rested his chin on his hand and looked at the blackboard with boredom. He couldn't understand anything written on the blackboard.
I can only barely make out the letters I recognize, but what word do they form when put together...?
Well, Gong You decided not to force himself.
-
After class.
Akina looked out the classroom window but didn't see Yuu Miyagi yet.
She thought for a moment and then opened Gong Zhi's chat window.
[Tenho: Haru-kun, I plan to transfer to Tokyo after this semester ends.]
After sending the message, she lowered her head, her expression unreadable.
She wanted to see what Miyaji's attitude would be.
The phone vibrated.
[Miyaji: Why the sudden change of schools?]
[Ten-Sui: This is something I had already decided beforehand.]
[Ten-Sui: I want to go to Tokyo to further hone my drawing skills.]
After typing this message, Akina looked out the window and saw Yuu waving for her to come out.
She turned off her phone screen and walked outside.
[Miyaji: Well then, I wish you all the best in achieving your dream soon.]
[Miyaji: If possible, please share your paintings with me after you arrive in Tokyo.]
[Miyaji: I'm curious to see just how far you're capable.]
These messages are all shown as unread.
Miyaji stared at his phone for a moment, guessing that Akina Amaho might have been suddenly called out by Miyayu.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have dropped this bombshell on themselves all at once.
It seems that having Gong You appear at this time was somewhat effective.
However... if I notify him via social media instead of telling him in person, he might be a little unhappy.
-
After Miyayu called Akina Amatsu out, the two stood at the corner of the corridor.
"I came to you earlier to apologize for what happened that day when I suddenly left."
Gong You still managed to say the apology.
Akina might not care, but he was always afraid that she would care, and he would panic first.
"It's alright, let's just let this matter rest."
Akina Amane thought for a moment.
"Anyway, even if it's only for a short while, I'm still very happy drawing."
She couldn't help but smile as she recalled the boy who shone brightly on the volleyball court.
"So that's enough. Even if Yu-kun finds modeling boring and doesn't want to come back, that's fine."
Akina Amaho nodded slightly.
Although it was a bit of a disappointment, the materials she had obtained were enough for her to ponder for a while.
At worst, I can just focus on practicing oil painting techniques for the next period of time.
“I didn’t mean that. I still want to continue being your model.”
As Gong You spoke, he brought up his phone's photo album, which displayed five paintings neatly hanging on the bedroom wall.
In other words, Gong You hung up all the paintings she had given him.
This made her feel a little embarrassed.
She was indeed happy that others liked her paintings, but it was still a little embarrassing to say it directly to her.
"So you just want to keep receiving your own paintings, right?"
However, Akina Amaho still bluntly exposed Yuu Miyako's true thoughts.
"Of course, Tianhui drew me to be so handsome."
His answer also seemed perfectly natural.
Akina Amaho slowly narrowed her eyes.
"Really? Then you should explain why you suddenly left last week."
She tilted her head slightly, and her tone sounded completely puzzled at first glance.
She originally thought that Gong You was just childishly angry because only his painting was uncolored.
Miyaji told him that Miyayu didn't want to continue working as a model, but she neither confirmed nor denied it.
But it seems that neither of these reasons led him to leave at the time.
And it's probably very naive.
Well, at least Akina Amaho couldn't imagine what his reasons were.
Gong You began to stammer.
He really couldn't explain why he had suddenly turned his back and left.
After all, he had to drag Miyaji along, trading three boxes of pudding for him.
It wouldn't be appropriate to tell Amaho Akina at this point that the reason was actually because Miyaji was also her model, and that the sketch he thought was unique wasn't actually unique and only belonged to him.
"There's not much to say about this. I just had a moment of madness! Yes, that's it."
His eyes started to drift to the side, refusing to confront Amaho Akina's question directly.
They just made up an excuse that was obviously fake and made up.
Akina Ama shrugged. She knew when to stop.
"Alright, then I won't ask any further."
After all, asking too many questions might lead to a situation she doesn't want to see.
Intuition told Ameho Akina that it was best not to ask any more questions at this point.
"But if there's a next time, I really need to consider firing you as a model."
With a smile, she turned around and returned to her class just as the school bell rang, while Gong You was still in a daze.
Gong You scratched his hair and ran back to the classroom just like him.
Ah—why did I suddenly freeze up like that?
However, when Akina Amaho said she was going to fire him, Yuu Miya did panic for a moment.
Then he encouraged himself, thinking that as long as he wasn't fired, everything would be fine.
Anyway, he didn't do anything wrong.
-
Akina Amane opened her phone and glanced at Miyaji's reply.
She raised her eyebrows slightly.
This claim... if it could actually come true.
Perhaps I'll have two more friends who I'll stay in touch with even if I leave.
At least for now, Akina Amaho is going to try again.
If they are friends, then they should be able to accept all of your behavior and share your happy and sad emotions, right?
Perhaps, some scenes that once only existed in our imaginations can come true?
[Tian Sui: Okay.]
She opened Gong You's chat window and sent him another message.
[Tian Sui: I've thought about it, we really are friends.]
She acknowledged it and allowed the friendship to interfere with the progress of her life again.
In some corner, something is taking root and sprouting.
[Ten-Sui: Let's have lunch together.]
This message was sent to both of them.
Akina Amaho had made the decision, and she let out a sigh of relief, as if she had put down a major event.
After turning off her phone, she returned to the classroom.
Upon receiving the message, Miyaji and Miyayu both widened their eyes in surprise.
Miyako was naturally delighted to be able to have dinner together again, but not to share Tensui Akina's food.
It was indeed very delicious.
More importantly, the subtext of Tian Sui's words is that she might still draw for them during her lunch break.
Gong You's expectations for this matter are extremely high.
Although he was still in class, he was different from usual, instead full of energy. Even the teacher on the podium gave him a strange look and ignored him.
Of course, his heart was pounding, and he was filled with emotions he didn't understand.
Regardless, all he knew was that he was happy when he saw those words.
Gong You didn't know that this level of happiness was exactly the same as the feeling he had when he completed a superb volleyball attack.
But that's enough.
Miyaji from another class was also very happy.
He became radiant and full of energy.
Rintaro Kaminari, who was sitting in front of him, glanced back and thought to himself, "What a pity. If it weren't for class, I would have definitely taken a picture of this scene."
He wouldn't dare to openly use his phone during class.
Miyaji completely ignored what Rintaro Kakuna in the front seat was doing.
He simply found himself looking forward to the next lunch break for no reason.
He certainly hoped to see Akina Amaho again.
Well, it would be even better if I could be the model next time.
Miyaji thought to himself.
He sent a message to Amaho Akina.
[Miyaji: Okay.]
[Miyaji: Oh, right, you should remember that I'm going to be a model this week?]
[Miyaji: Thank you for your hard work preparing. Yu might be clamoring to come over too.]
After sending those few words, he turned off his phone.
Although he was also reluctant for Miyako to bother them, Miyako admitted that Miyako had contributed a lot to this matter.
So he stopped caring.
