41 – Why are you here?

After that, she said that she would go first for some reason.

“I’m sorry, but I have something to prepare.”

“Is that so?”

“Yes. So I’ll go first.”

I don’t know what’s going on. Could she have left her textbook and go borrow it from another class? It’s not that important, so I decided to put my mind off it.

So she was left alone in the empty library. …… Excluding the librarian at the counter, I was alone. What are you going to do here lonely? She didn’t even have the heart to read, so she decided to leave.

The moment she took off her feet with that feeling.

I could feel the eyes looking this way from the other side of her library.

I turn her head in the direction her gaze flew.

“… ….”

Even though our eyes met, he didn’t say a word, just stared at me. For a moment, I wondered if I had seen a ghost, but when I looked closely, it was a familiar face.

That was Sarah.

Of course.

“Why are you here?”

As I approached her, Sarah shrugged her shoulders and lowered her eyes.

“Why? I’ve loved reading books since I was little, so shouldn’t I be here?”

“No, what. That’s not going to work.”

Come to think of it, that was a stupid question. What do you need to ask why are you here? For her, coming to the library means coming to read or borrow a book.

“I come to the library every day. You two came out of nowhere. Shouldn’t I ask why you’re here?”

“…… Everyday?”

She thought it was a strange nuance, so she asked again, but Sera didn’t answer.

Well, that’s it. The important thing anyway is not why you are here.

“Since when have you been watching?”

She asked the question cautiously, like a child caught lying.

Sarah raised her gaze, which had been thrown to the floor, and looked straight at me.

“From the beginning.”

She answered that.

“It was nice to see the two of you chatting happily.”

“Well, we’re dating.”

“And I also enjoyed seeing them kissing in public because they didn’t look at each other.”

“…… Well, we’re dating.”

I couldn’t be confident because I had a corner where I could be stabbed. After answering in a somewhat evasive manner, Sarah lowered her eyes again.

“You must have really kissed me.”

“…… Ah.”

She forgot what she had covered with her book. If she had known, she would have lied. She was so stupid

“Are you a monkey? Let your s*xual desire erupt at any time.”

“I didn’t mean to vent my s*xual desire.”

“Then is there any other reason for a man and a woman to rub against her body?”

“I have never rubbed. And lust isn’t everything.”

“Huh~”

She sounds sarcastic. No, you must be sarcastic.

However, the current Sera is more than playful, so to speak, she has a somewhat wounded face.

It was meant to be. She said it was hard to believe yet but she said she liked me. Even now, that sentiment seems to be valid. She even declared war on Ina, saying that she would take me away.

However, he kissed another person right in front of his eyes.

I think Nara must have been shocked too.

It can’t be helped.

I like Ina, I am dating Ina, and I am sure that this heart of her will not be shaken for a while. In such a situation, Sera is not a great person enough to pay attention to her heart.

So I had no choice but to be clear. I needed to speak my mind clearly.

“Over there.”

“…… I won’t give up.”

Before she could speak, Sarah answered.

“You’re going to keep bothering me.”

I don’t have anything to say since the player was taken away.

While thinking about what to say, the bell rang. As if responding to the sound of a bell, Sarah turned her back away from me.

“Then see you next time.”

“Ummm… ….”

After returning her halfway answer, Sarah moved further away.

Watching Sera’s back as she returned to the classroom, I suddenly thought of one thing.

Sarah has been watching us from the beginning, she said.

That meant there was an opportunity to intervene between us from the beginning.

While we were talking, the moment when I walked away from Ina to look for a book, the moment I picked up the book and tried to kiss it. Sarah could have talked to her at any time.

Why did Sera silently watch her?

As of now, I have not been able to find the answer.

“It smells like Inna.”

The break time after the next class.

As Ina left to talk with the other children, Jia spoke to her. She was almost taken aback by that statement, but she feigned composure.

“Well, maybe it’s because I’m sitting next to you?”

“Is it darker than usual?”

“It seems a bit perverted to walk around smelling people.”

“Did you even kiss me?”

“… ….”

I was taken aback by these words.

“What is it? Do you really think you did?”

“No…… I didn’t.”

“Well, I don’t care. Whether it’s a hug, a kiss, or more, it’s up to you as long as the two of you agree.”

“What more than that.”

“Answer me?”

“No, that’s it.”

What are you going to do?

“So? Is the girl she visited last time named Sera?”

“Were you watching?”

“Of course not. Because I decided to help.”

Answers in a tone that says nothing. I think it’s a great responsibility, but on the other hand, I’m scared. Are you monitoring your every move?

“Right. She is Han Se-ra.”

“I see.”

Jia nodded her head and asked, caressing her chin.

“How is that child’s personality?”

“Personality?”

It’s a personality.

“Active and proactive…… ? Well, I don’t know exactly, but it will. I was very timid when I was young, but I think I’ve changed a bit.”

“Mmm.”

It is a reaction that seems to know or not know.

“Why? Does it matter?”

“A little bit.”

Having said that, Jia spread her index finger.

“I think I’m at my limit now.”

“Is there a bathroom?”

“Are you crazy?”

“Sorry.”

Then what is the limit? When I asked with her eyes, Jia lowered her voice even more and continued her explanation as if in a whisper.

“The relationship between the two of you.”

“Is our relationship at the limit now?”

“No, hiding the relationship between the two of you.”

“Ah… ….”

She got a rough idea of what Jia was trying to say.

Rumors that Ina and I had an unusual relationship had been circulating for quite some time. Since the second half of last semester, I have always had such doubts. There were even children who asked directly from time to time.

But for now, it was not a ‘special relationship’.

There is no way that a simple stopgap will work forever.

It’s not that, isn’t Ina and I actually having a special relationship now? At the time, they really had no relationship, but from now on, evading them would be a lie.

“I guess so.”

“Aren’t you surprised?”

“Since we’ve been hanging out together lately, I thought we’d find out someday.”

“I don’t think so.”

Jia affirmed my words.

“Immediately today too, when they saw the two of them not being present during lunchtime, the kids started talking loudly. Now, it’s almost accepted as a fait accompli.”

“Is that so?”

“All that remains is for the two of you to affirm.”

In this situation, there would be no point in denying it. It seemed that I had no intention of hiding it any longer. On the first day of the semester, Ina said it was okay if the other kids found out.

“But there is a little problem.”

Jia looked out of her window and said as if tossing it.

“What is it?”

“There is a child named Sera that I mentioned earlier, right?”

“Yes.”

“There are also rumors that he is approaching you.”

“Um… ….”

It’s not a rumor, it’s true.

“So?”

“But Ina is like an angel in our school, at least in our grade. A child like Sera who gets in the way between you and Ina…… She doesn’t seem to hear very good things.”

“Hmm?”

I never dreamed that it would become a problem in that direction.

While there were rumors that Inna and I were actually dating, Sera approached me.

But since she has a very good image to Ina and the other students, is Sera being treated as a villain?

So that’s why I asked about Sera’s personality earlier.

For example, if Sera was as timid as she used to be, she would have a hard time coping with rumors. Although she wouldn’t mind if it was Sera now, who has become tougher in her own way.

“You will need to keep that in mind.”

Jia organized her words as if to warn her.

“Yes. Thank you.”

“It was all my imagination up until this point.”

“Is that so?”

With this being said, Jia’s analysis was largely believable. Putting aside her claim that she mastered love comedies, she is the kind of Annie who can look at a situation objectively.

Just then. Someone’s voice came from the front of the classroom.

“Over there. Is it true that you are dating him?”

A girl in my class was pointing at me and asking Ina.

…… As expected, it seems that Jia’s advice was right.
