Sekijou Sawako

"Wow."

As the math teacher left the classroom, the gossipy girls in the class gathered around Itsuki.

"Itsuki-san, are you dating Asakawa-kun?" a girl with long hair asked curiously.

"Of course not!"

Itsuki hurriedly denied it, but accidentally threw the wrong note, and there was no connection at all.

"Hmm, I understand."

"Your expression clearly misunderstood!"

"Itsuki-san, have you ever dated?"

"Not..."

Itsuki replied subconsciously, reacted quickly, and hastily said, "Me and Asakawa-san are just ordinary friends, and we definitely won't be dating."

Because she is a transfer student, while Itsuki's IQ is not high, his emotional intelligence is not high. She never had any friends in class, but now she has become a popular girl, but this kind of popularity may not be desirable.

"Asakawa-san is cold and reserved, but he chooses to answer questions for you under the watchful eye of many people. He's definitely no ordinary friend."

"it is because..."

Itsuki faltered, his face reddened, she turned his head to the side and said with a guilty conscience: "I don't understand the questions in class, I asked Asakawa-san's advice… That's all."

There was a gossip girl who saw Itsuki's clumsy lie: "That question should be asked after class, and it shouldn't be asked in class."

Itsuki fell silent, and subconsciously pleaded with Naoki for help.

Several girls turned their gazes and looked at Naoki one after another.

"Asakawa-san, are you two dating?"

Naoki put down the exercise book in his hand, glanced at Itsuki who was surrounded by a group of girls, and said slowly, "No."

"Is Itsuki cute?"

A bespectacled woman asked curiously.

The hair on top of Itsuki's head shook, the temperature on his face rose again.

"I don't know." Naoki replied calmly.

"Ehhh, why don't you know? You two get along day and night, so you must be very familiar with each other, right?"

"Bad!" Itsuki closed his eyes and shouted in embarrassment, "This kind of question was made up on purpose!"

Naoki kept his cool and said: "Because I have short term memory."

Scientific research has proven that girls are a kind of creature that can stimulate the pituitary gland through gossip, thereby releasing dopamine and creating excitement in the human body. If you want to get them to stop gossiping, you just have to bore them-

An emotionless face.

Just relax.

It's like eating sugarcane, when the juice is full, everyone wants to bite it, after it becomes dry pulp, of course no one cares.

Too bad Naoki underestimated the enthusiasm of these gossip girls.

After a short cold session, someone quickly continued the attack, "Asakawa-kun, I fell into the lake with Itsuki-san, which one did you save first?"

Naoki and said viciously, "No one will be saved."

"Eh, that's outrageous."

"You two can swim, you don't need my help at all."

"Then if there are only us and the Itsuki girl left in the world, who will Asakawa-san choose?"

Naoki didn't change his expression: "I want everything."

"So shameless."

"Asakawa-kun is too greedy."

"It's good to choose Itsuki strongly this time."

"Itsuki will cry soon."

What is the ladder of human progress?

Book?

Books are nothing but carriers of knowledge, and knowledge is nothing but the means of racial inheritance. Throughout human history, greed was the root of human progress. Countries and races that are not greedy, just live, and live with time have long since perished in the river of long history!

"Who will cry." Itsuki finally couldn't control his overflowing embarrassment, and got up and fled in a panic, "I'm going to the bathroom!"

Running all the way to the bathroom, Itsuki came to the mirror, saw his flushed face in the mirror, and she quickly bit his lower lip, turning his face away in embarrassment.

(If I knew it would turn out like this, I wouldn't have thrown the note away… Now I'm embarrassed!)

Itsuki turned on the faucet, took some water and washed his face to cool off physically.

"Ahhhh." Itsuki patted his forehead, "I remember, I haven't explained it to Asakawa-san."

Itsuki took out his cell phone and edited the message.

"Asakawa-san, I made the wrong note. Tomorrow isn't a date, I'm going to the temple to offer incense to my mother."

Itsuki added a crying emoji of a rabbit sitting on the ground holding a carrot.

"Incense?"

Naoki saw the message sent by Itsuki, and then he understood: "That's how it is."

No wonder an idiot with only meat buns in his eyes suddenly asked for a date, it was really weird.

Naoki doesn't know the identity of the mother of the quintuplets, but he has learned from Miku that their mother died when they were in elementary school.

After the death of Japan, the resting place is usually in a shrine cemetery. Tomorrow, Itsuki must go visit his mother's grave. The reason why she called Naoki should be to deepen his impression and see if she can see his mother in a dream.

"So it wasn't written by you?" Naoki quickly found his blind spot.

"Eh?" Itsuki was taken aback, and she stuttered, "Then, that… I don't know what Asakawa-san is talking about, hahaha."

How is it possible to say something like learning from Ayano-chan how to act like a spoiled girl!

"By the way, tomorrow afternoon, accompany me to the temple to offer incense to my mother. Will Asakawa-san refuse?"

"No problem."

Naoki answered quickly.

"Huh…" Itsuki heaved a sigh of relief, "Thank you Asakawa-san, come back and invite you for a snack."

"Forget the snacks, you should go back."

"Eh?"

"There are still thirty seconds to go to class."

"Damn it, I lost track of time."

Upon seeing this, Itsuki hastily walked out of the toilet cubicle and came into the corridor, when the class bell rang in his ear.

"Not thirty seconds at all."

The phone vibrates.

Itsuki looked down, it was a message from Naoki.

"Because it takes time to send messages."

Itsuki: "..."

...

The day passed quietly, and in the blink of an eye, it was time for school in the afternoon.

Naoki packed his school bag, got up and walked to the library. This afternoon, he was going to give the exam papers to the idiot sister who failed.

Coming to the corridor, Ogata came into view.

"Asakawa-san, going to the library?"

Naoki nodded "Go and do some homework for Rin."

Ogata grabbed the backpack with both hands: "Let's go together."

"Um."

Just as he was walking to the corner of the corridor, a voice suddenly sounded from behind, "You two, stop."

Naoki turned his head to look, and a girl wearing a white coat over her school uniform with her hair tied in a ponytail was walking aggressively.

"Ogata Rizu, you just passed the math and physics exam this time, what are you thinking!"

"I heard that you really want to apply to a liberal arts university." The girl in the white coat folded her arms in front of her chest and said humbly, "As my lifelong opponent, I won't see you get lost!"

Ogata gave a very fierce look.

"Ugh, so scary."

The still aggressive girl earlier was so frightened that her shoulders shook, and cold sweat dripped from her head: "Ogata Rizu's eyes are so fierce, shouldn't he be angry?"

"Ogata is not angry." Naoki explained, "She changed his spare glasses today, the degree is a little low, and she can't see clearly."

"I understand…" The girl in the white coat breathed a sigh of relief, then reacted and looked at Naoki through gritted teeth, "I don't even know this kind of thing, why are you so obvious? !"

"Hear." The girl in the white coat raised her left finger, "I won't let you trick Ogata Rizu!"

"Hah?" Ogata tilted his head, with a confused expression on his face, "Um, who are you?"

"You don't know me?"

The girl in the white coat knelt on the ground, her painting style became black and white, and the loss on her face almost overflowed: "It is clear that we have been classmates for many years..."

"She's Sekijou Sawako." Naoki said beside him, "She is in the same class as us in the same science class."

"I'm not at all happy to say this from your mouth." Sekijou Sawako said with a displeased expression.

"Forgive me." Ogata bowed slightly, "I'm not good at remembering other people's names..."

"What is Newton's full name?"

"Isaac Newton."

"Where is Einstein's full name?"

"Albert Einstein."

"Don't you remember it very clearly!" Sekijou Sawako couldn't help but say, "You just can't remember my name!"

You know this kind of thing well, you don't have to say it!

"Introduce myself." The girl in the white coat covered her chest with her right hand and lifted her chin, "I, Sekijou Sawako, the head of the Chemistry club, a second year student like you."

Ogata tilted his head and said, "Well, I'm very busy every day, and I don't have time to join the chemistry club."

"I didn't come here to invite you to join the chemistry club!" Sekijou Sawako approached and said in a condescending tone, "You should listen to me!"

Facing the pressure created by the height difference, Ogata subconsciously took a half step behind Naoki: "Please speak."

"Huh." Sekijou Sawako said, "I won't just watch you push yourself to study liberal arts."

"Un, I didn't force it."

"This is Asakawa, right?" Sekijou Sawako pointed at Naoki with his right hand, "Because of him you quit science and chose to apply to a liberal arts college?"

"What are you talking about?" Ogata looked confused, "Sorry, I don't understand."

"Huh, don't try to lie to me, I have all the evidence."

Sekijou Sawako took out her cell phone, with a satisfied smile on her face: "You two hugged each other this morning, and you guys said you weren't dating?"
