"This day marks the 4th week since you started high school. Have you all familiarized yourself with the difference between being a high schooler and being a middle schooler?"
Shio, in a rarest of her mood towards the class, was exuding her happiness as she started the day with that kind of speech.
I wouldn't take credit for that but I guess that's the only reason why she's energetic today. Compared to before when she was being weighed down by her problem in her married life, most of those were already lifted off her shoulders, giving her a new perspective in life.
Watching her from my seat doing her best, I'm having this urge to dote on her.
After a while, Yamada, the guy who kept on asking questions and was always shut down by Shio, raised his hand again.
"Yes, Yamada?"
"Sensei is kind of blooming today, did something happen?"
"That Yamada always seems like he has a death wish. For him to ask that to Miyazaki-sensei..."
I heard someone say from behind.
