Capítulo 691: The tragic future we will face
"Asada-kun, good morning..."
Itsuki entered the classroom after the commotion. Looking at Fumino who was lying on the table with her head covered.
"What's wrong Fumino? Are you feeling unwell?"
She arrived at school very early, but she only went to the teacher's office and returned just in time for the school bell to ring.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she entered the classroom door, she felt a strange classroom atmosphere.
"It's nothing, it's just that she read too hard and hit her head."
Shinichi showed a gentle smile, returning the reference book to Fuutarou who was frowning.
"Itsuki, you were just at the teacher's office?"
"Hmm... Eh? Asada-kun, how did you know?" Itsuki was shocked, she obviously hadn't said anything.
For some reason, Shinichi seemed satisfied.
"I can tell from your expression. You smile so happily and it seems like there is still a little bit left unfinished. You just finished chatting with Kirisu Sensei, right?"
"Yeah, right…" Itsuki touched her cheek and blushed slightly, "Is it clear? I feel so embarrassed…"
"Don't be shy, this is the real Itsuki!" Shinichi immediately denied it while looking at her with burning eyes.
"A girl who can see through her in an instant is a rare value!"
"What's with this strange enthusiasm and how annoying it is to say it!"
Itsuki puffed out her cheeks in dissatisfaction, and immediately remembered that she wanted to say something serious.
"Asada-kun, Kirisu Sensei said that in the whole school assembly on Friday morning, the video clip of the exchange meeting will be shown to the teachers and students first, and then the three of you will be allowed to go on stage to receive praise. At that time, you may have to say a few words to everyone, please be mentally prepared."
Shinichi asked doubtfully.
"Video editing? Why do I remember the organizer only took a few photos... Slideshow?"
Itsuki showed a proud smile.
"When you bring glory to the school, I don't just shout out cheers and hand out towels to the audience, do I?"
Shinichi was a little confused at first, but as his thoughts changed, his eyes widened.
"Wait, is that possible? You were the one who recorded that video…"
Itsuki nodded vigorously.
"Yes! I have recorded all your wonderful activities, and they have all been turned into short films by the school. By then, the whole school will realize how great the three of you are!"
The more she spoke, the more excited her tone became.
"Sigh… In order to provide a surprise and get the most realistic effect, I hid in the crowd and recorded it secretly. As a result, some scenes were not recorded clearly and could not be used at all."
"The same goes for level breaking events. Since you were divided into two groups, there was no way to record the entire process... I should have known that I should have asked Kirisu Sensei for help. Why did I hesitate at that time! Very stupid."
She was frustrated.
Shinichi, who was already hopeless, had a small flame of hope burning in his eyes.
"So, after you gave me the towel and water, you secretly took photos of Yotsuba?"
"Um, yeah." Itsuki nodded.
However, for Shinichi, this shameless answer was as beautiful and touching as the sound of nature.
"Then girls..."
He smiled. But Itsuki said next.
"But because there was too much movement on stage, after delivering the goods to Yotsuba, I ran to film your two performances. The whole process was recorded."
"…"
The smiling expression froze on his face, Shinichi stared at her blankly.
Itsuki clapped her hands in front of her chest, and spoke with great emotion.
"Yeah~ The scene between Asada-kun and Ichika at that time was really surprising! When I went back and reviewed the video, I was moved again. Not at all like a show that's only ten minutes of scripted! How could this scene not be shared with everyone?"
Soon, the girl said extremely cruel words in a cheerful voice.
"I'm really looking forward to Friday, everyone's expressions when they see the video~"
"…"
Shinichi was hit hard, and he leaned back in the chair with empty eyes.
Fumino, who was eavesdropping on their conversation, looked at him curiously.
"Such a thing has happened before... Asada-kun, it turns out you can act?"
Fuutarou was eavesdropping on their conversation at the front and laughed.
"Time to get back to business..."
Seeing Shinichi looking ugly and not responding, Itsuki leaned forward and patted him on the shoulder, comforting him gently.
"Asada-kun, it's okay! I know you don't like being noticed, so I specifically asked the school editor..."
Shinichi rolled his eyes like a dead fish, and the light of hope in his eyes was like a candle in the wind, "Please circle around me."
"Help you mosaic your face."
"…"
"This way, no one can see your face clearly... Should it be okay?"
Shinichi lowered his head.
(Oh my God, how come such a straightforward, serious, and cute child could be stupider than Yotsuba...)
(I shouldn't praise her now...)
"Itsuki—"
Shinichi spoke to the girl loudly.
"On Friday, I will be sick and have to take time off."
Itsuki opened her mouth in disbelief.
"Eh—?! No, you can't pretend to be sick, Asada-kun. Kirisu Sensei will be angry if she finds out!"
Shinichi leaned forward, looked at Itsuki at close range, gritted his teeth and said:
"Itsuki, please explain that I'm the one who's angry right now! I think we need to have a good talk. After school, go to the woods behind the sports barn and wait for me."
"T-The woods behind the gym?"
"Correct."
"Then, aren't those the confession shrines scattered throughout the school..."
"…Yes, I will make you cry and apologize."
"Who would want to accept such recognition!"
"Priest or executioner."
"That's called confession!"
"...So, why are you thinking so fast when you're just complaining?"
Unfortunately, there was one more girl that Shinichi couldn't guess.
△
Now it's class time.
The modern literature teacher at the front of the stage was talking about the contents of the entrance exam paper, but Itsuki's attention was unknowingly diverted.
Before the teacher came in, he and Shinichi talked about a lot of inexplicable things, and accidentally forgot to say what he originally wanted to say to him.
But if there are other people present, even if he remembers, he may not be able to speak.
Things about Yotsuba, things about himself.
In the message he replied last night, he didn't include the feelings he wanted to convey to her after everything was settled.
"Haha...How does it feel to step into a swamp..."
