Gratitude

In the physical education class, Chizuru Shiina, who was with the girls' team was full of worries and frequently lost her mind, waiting for her to recover from the state of wandering in the sky.

It's just after she recovered from this whole thing she discovered that the boy who had been at the playground just now had disappeared.

What about people?

Akane Nanao was still sitting there, but why did Mu Xiaoxiao disappear?

No other girl.. 

With Shinomiya? 

"Nanao-san, um, do you know where Mu-Kun went?"

Class monitor Chizuru hesitated for a moment and ran over to ask.

"Monitor Shina, are you looking for Xiaoxiao?" 

Akane Nanao, who was sitting on the grass and rubbing her legs, heard her voice and was taken aback, looking at the person in surprise. 

She found that Chizuru Shiina was avoiding her sight and suddenly felt that the class monitor's attitude was a little strange.

"I... well, I have something to ask him."

Something is wrong.

However, Xiaoxiao was pulled away by Natsuha... But there was no way to say these words to the monitor, and the girl felt a little dizzy.

Natsuha, that messy girl.. causing trouble for her.

How can I answer now?

"I don't know either. 

He may have gone back to the classroom to rest. Monitor Shiina; you can look for him after class."

"Gone to rest?" 

Isn't this a good opportunity.? 

"I see; I'll go and have a look first."

"Eh? Wait, monitor..."

Looking at the back of the girl running back to the teaching building, Akane opened her mouth and finally withdrew her hand awkwardly, muttering,

"Natsuha, I didn't lead the monitor there."

"So, you can't blame me when the time comes; it looks like you're going to go my old way again," the sinister smirk on her face was obvious to all..unfortunately, there was no one to see it.

Shiina Chizuru, on the other hand, went back to the classroom only to find it empty, devoid of any occupants.

Didn't Nanao-san say that he went back to the classroom? 

Why isn't he here? 

Could it be that he is changing in the locker room? 

The girl walked through the corridor to the door of the boy's locker room, wanting to knock on the door, when she heard some strange voice from the other side.

"Locker room?"

Girl's.?

Pushing the door open, she entered and found... inside the room, she saw that her classmate Natsuha Shinomiya was sitting on a bench as the latter forced a smile when she saw who had come in.

"Yes, Class Leader Shiina."

____

"Shinomiya, what are you doing here?" Chizuru Shiina looked around suspiciously.

"Oh, I'm just resting here; well, I'm not very good at physical exercise," 

She's actually pretty good at it, despite all the bullshit.

"Do you know where Mu Xiaoxiao is?" to which the girl asked while looking into the closet.

___

"I don't know, monitor, but it's really strange that you're asking and checking here.

Isn't this the girl's locker room?

Of course, if you want to find him, you have to go to the boy's side."

After listening to her seriously.

Chizuru Shiina stared at Natsuha Shinomiya for a while before nodding slowly, 

"I see...then I'll look elsewhere."

Walking, the girl who was about to leave suddenly turned her head and smiled,

"Student Shinomiya, don't forget to clean up before you leave."

"..."

Cleaning, cleaning what?

Thinking of something, Natsuha blushed instantly, clutching her hot cheeks and leaning against the wall, 

"Even if I didn't get caught, this... is embarrassing enough."

"That class leader, really... did it on purpose?"

Chizuru Shiina stood outside the door, humming softly to herself. 

It's not that she doesn't know the relationship between Mu Xiaoxiao and Natsuha Shinomiya. 

Now classmate Natsuha was in the girl's locker room...with that flushed face, saying she was resting there. Who would believe it.? 

Not to mention she heard a strange sound earlier... 

Mu Xiaoxiao must be in there too.

In the past, she would have relentlessly pursued the truth, but now...probably because of Mu Xiaoxiao's help, her mood has changed.

Even Natsuha's blatant lies were not revealed.

"Hey, I came here skipping the physical education class... and now, as the class monitor, I actually have to help them hide it, really!"

Thinking of a beautiful girl like Natsuha Shinomiya, whose beauty is well-known in school, 

Why does she just like Mu Xiaoxiao and even going as far as to share him with an equally beautiful girl like Akane Nanao?

Shiina Chizuru sighed, feeling inexplicably complicated.

Perhaps due to her one-sided anger, she really didn't notice his qualities before and just made some judgement on his character.

Who was she.?

Just a class monitor in name.. a girl with no friends who is always isolated and hated... 

Does she really have any right to intervene in someone else's life? 

Others are happy living the life how they like.. while she thought that she has some kind of duty to correct their attitude.

Discipline.. 

Did it help when she was almost defiled yesterday.?

He did..

The guy she didn't even have any relationship with, the guy she hated for no reason..that guy saved her when she couldn't. 

Thinking about this, 

Maybe he also saved them like her.. and. 

creak -

Attracted by the sound of the door opening, the dazed girl raised her eyes as the door of the boy's locker room next door opened, and a person came out.

"Yo, class leader Chizuru~"

"Mu Xiaoxiao?!"

Standing silly.

"You, how do you—"

'Shouldn't you be here? How did you run there...'

"What's the matter, Class monitor Shiina? Is it strange that I appeared in the boy's locker room?"

Mu Xiaoxiao smiled sinisterly.

Naive woman fighting with me.

"You...you were with Natsuha just now, right?"

"Nope, why would I be with her? 

I was always here."

"You were definitely with her."

"Absolutely not."

Chizuru Shiina had a headache because of his indifference to her. 

Then glancing at the unrecognized scoundrel that Mu Xiaoxiao seemed to be playing, she gritted her silver teeth angrily.

After grinding for a while, she suddenly burst out laughing with a 'puchi.'

"???"

"Although...although I don't know how you did it," 

Staring at him with wide eyes without blinking, the girl's gaze was...a little gentle and resentful, "but it must be the same as yesterday.

It's the same when you help me at night."

"Huh? Last night?"

"Why do you still want to continue to deny it? Teacher Shirakawa told me everything about it."

Speaking girl slowly lowered her head, clenching her fist in nervousness before looking at him. 

"I also know that you helped me...Thank you, Mu Kun."

Thank you so much .. 

"After a long time, it turns out that you came here to thank me?"

Mu Xiaoxiao propped himself against the wall, feeling tired, "You should have said it earlier; I thought you came here to trouble me, catch me, and try to threaten me."

Chizuru Shiina: "..."

Who do you take me for?

Although our previous relationship was not very good, it is not enough to do this, right?

Rolling her eyes at him, 

"I wouldn't do such a thing, but what you did, Mu Xiaoxiao is too exaggerated.

You are actually in the girl's locker room with classmate Natsuha... Really, really shameless!"

"I remember that..."

At this time..

"Shiina!"

At the end of the corridor, a wretched old man appeared..and the girl turned pale.

"Tam, Tamura..."
