Teacher’s comment:
Before I correct your answer, sensei wishes that you notice that you didn’t answer the correct number of answers.
“Aki, can I talk to you for a while?”
Right now, school is over. Just as I plan to go home with nothing special in mind, Minami called me.
“Un, you need my help?”
“Instead of needing your help, it’s more of discussing something with you.”
She seems rather normal now, seems like she’s not planning to say anything random.
“Discuss? I’ll listen if you like.”
“Um, thanks. I feel that Aki’s the most suited person to talk to regarding this—about that, is there really no way to get Sakamoto involved?”
Speaking of Sakamoto, that’s my best bad friend, the representative of class F—Sakamoto Yuuji.
Seems like Minami believes that the teahouse would only be successful if Yuuji is the one leading class F. by not trying to do this the foolhardy way, it seems that she’s a pretty smart girl.
“Mm—this is going to be hard…I just said it before, Yuuji won’t care about anything that he’s not interested in.”
That guy probably doesn’t even know what the class would be doing.
“However, if Aki is to ask him, maybe he might do something?”
Minami stares at me with an expectant look.
“Eh? I feel that even if I’m to ask him myself, that guy won’t change his answer—”
“No, this won’t happen. He will definitely accept Aki’s request, because—”
“Even though we’re together often, there isn’t really much difference…”
“Because both of you guys are in love, right?”
“I CAN’T GET MARRIED ANYMORE!!”
Why can you say such a thing with a straight face…
“Who wants to be with that Yuuji in the first place? Even if that’s the case, I’ll prefer Hideyoshi!”
“…Ah, Akihisa?”
At this moment, Hideyoshi, who’s just standing beside us, stopped his movements. Oh dear? Is the situation somewhat weird now?
“That…about that, I’m grateful for your feelings, but even if you’re to say that, there are many obstacles that can’t be overcome. That, let’s think, something like age difference…”
“Hi…Hideyoshi! It’s not like that! You completely misunderstood me! It was just a figure of speech! And the biggest obstacle between us isn’t the age difference!!”
Hideyoshi blushes as he lowers his head. What, what now! I’m starting to think that it’s fine if it’s Hideyoshi!
“Then, you mean that you can’t convince Sakamoto as well?”
“Eh? Ah, mm, that’s basically it.”
I shook my head, trying to get these dangerous thoughts out of my mind, and turn to look at Minami.
“Isn’t there any way we can do this? If this keeps up, the teahouse will be a failure.”
Her eyes are looking down, her face looking gloomy as well. That’s right, I’m also thinking about how to get Yuuji involved in this.
Once the teahouse succeeds, we can use the money to improve F class facilities, and lessen the burden on Himeji-san’s body as well. if possible, I’ll also want this shop to succeed.
“Oh yeah, what are you talking about? Seeing both of you looking so troubled, it should be serious.”
“It’s not really something serious, we’re just talking about store management and class equipment.”
“Aki, it’s not really like this. This is really serious.”
“Eh, what’s it about?”
Minami looks rather weird. She’s not really unhappy with the facilities, but for her to be this enthusiastic, what is she thinking?
“Though she told me not to tell this to anyone, but this situation…can you keep a secret about it?”
“Um, mm, I got it.”
I’m rather shocked by Minami’s serious expression.
“Actually, this has something to do with Himeji.”
“Himeji-san? What’s wrong with Himeji-san?”
“She may end up transferring school.”
“Eh?”
