Under the table

'Don't stop?' Or 'don't, stop? '

Faced with these words of entirely opposite meanings, Sasaki Fuyumi felt it was necessary to ask for clarification.

However, in Sasaki's subsequent questioning, Yasui Sara, whose luster seemed to have dimmed in her eyes, just furrowed her brows and then covered her mouth with a flushed face, showing no reaction to his questioning.

No, it wasn't that there was no response at all.

Each time Sasaki Fuyumi pressed her toes, she would still twitch and respond.

But just based on this little thing, he couldn't guess what she meant.

It's just that judging from the movements she made from time to time, like bending her legs and retracting them, he knew her cramps should not have healed yet.

So her meaning must have been 'don't stop.'

With a bit of self-interest and his beaver-like guesswork, Sasaki Fuyumi, who couldn't bear to put it down, continued to curl up with this little foot.

Time passed slowly, like fine sand slipping through one's fingers.

When it was almost time for class to end, feeling it was about right, the boy up the white indoor shoe, which was no bigger than his own palm, from the floor and put it on Yasui Sara's foot.

And it was as if some switch had been pressed suddenly.

Not long after putting on her shoes,, the girl, who had not responded at all despite Sasaki winking, slowly straightened her head and lay on the table.

It's just that, at this moment, she looked like a fish deprived of oxygen, gasping for air heavily.

No matter how one looked at it, it felt a bit astringent... No, it felt abnormal no matter how someone looked at it.

Seeing the plumpness under the shirt being squeezed into a thick pancake by the desk, Sasaki Fuyumi felt the need to pay attention and couldn't help but write a note again.

However, as he threw it over, the bell for the end of class rang at the same time.

.

.

His bright rose-red eyes looked at the paper ball next to the pencil case.

When she woke up, Sara Yasui was ashamed and angry.

She obviously asked him to stop, but he still held it and pinched it for the entire class.

Although it was very comfortable, it was obviously not appropriate to treat a girl like that.

Not to mention a stranger whom they are meeting for the first time.

And before pinching her own feet, he didn't even ask her permission, what a self-righteous bad guy.

Sara Yasui, who was lying on the table, suddenly saw a paper ball in front of her and couldn't help but look at the boy angrily.

She held the paper ball in front of her in her hand and kept blaming Sasaki in her heart.

Although she was obviously blaming him in her heart but because his starting point was good and she had previously had a favorable impression of Sasaki, the girl was was only resentful in her heart due to the preconceptions, but she did not have any objectionable thoughts.

But that did not mean that she could forgive his rudeness.

Feeling a cool chill on her spine and that indescribable sticky sensation, the girl moved her body, took a deep breath, and once again glared fiercely at the bad guy who was looking at her with eyes full of innocence.

In the end, Sara Yasui, who couldn't stand the sticky feeling on her body, stood up, whispered a few words to the girls surrounding her, and then walked out of the classroom, laughing and talking.

Feeling the softness that seemed to still linger on his fingertips, Sasaki Fuyumi watched the girl leave the classroom, her little butt swaying under the flowing skirt, and cast a glance at Itsuki Miwa, who was still lying on the table as if sleeping and couldn't help but click his tongue.

…...

"Sasaki-kun, have you known Yasui-san before?" After class, Haruno Ayato, who was about to talk to Sasaki, noticed Yasui's gaze and couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

But after asking, he felt a little regretful.

After all, this was someone's personal privacy, and it was very rude for him to ask rashly when the two parties were not familiar with each other.

So, after speaking out, the boy was worried that Sasaki would be displeased, and he also secretly regretted his rashness.

Just when he was thinking about whether it was too late to apologize, he heard the latter's answer.

"I don't know her, but Yasui-san is a good person. It was because of her that I was able to do the problems last class." Sasaki, who was sitting in his seat and scrolling through his mobile phone to see what part-time jobs he could find, casually responded while turning the pen with his right hand.

"Eh? I thought Sasaki was some kind of hidden academic master..." Relieved that he was not only disliked but also received an answer, Haruno Ayato complimented with a soft smile.

Not seeing the smile that could test one's sexual orientation, Sasaki swiped the screen with his left hand and chuckled: "Then you think too much. If it really comes to the exams, my grades might not be as good as yours."

"My grades aren't very good either..." Thinking of his dismal grades, the latter scratched his head in embarrassment, then noticed Sasaki's phone screen and couldn't help but ask.

"Sasaki-kun, are you looking for a part-time job?"

"Yeah, I need to earn some pocket money... But the part-time jobs listed here aren't so great."

"The place where I work part-time is quite good. It's a chain convenience store.

It doesn't require working too long, and the pay is also quite decent. Do you want to consider it, Sasaki-kun?

Seeing the boy rubbing his brows with a distressed look, Haruno Ayato smiled and recommended a place where he worked.

"Yeah, send me the location."

After listening to Ayato's introduction, Sasaki thought it would be a good idea to give it a try.

After adding each other on LINE, he accepted the positioning and planned to check it out when he had time.

"Do you have a club, Sasaki-kun? Although the store manager at this part-time job isn't very strict about the schedule, it's still best not to be late for work. If you join a club that requires long practice times, it might be inconvenient…"

Putting away his phone, Haruno Ayato, who still didn't know what club Sasaki had joined, made his suggestion.

I haven't joined a club yet. I plan to go to the staff room later to find Miss Takamine to see if she can make an exception." Shaking his head, Sasaki Fuyumi asked the bot. "Which club did you join?"

"Me? I joined a club that my cousin started with her friends.

I'm sort of a ghost member, and I don't really go there very often."

"You have a cousin?"

"Yeah, my cousin is a senior. She is a very pretty girl, she…"

Looking at the delicate boy praising his cousin vigorously, Sasaki Fuyumi held his chin with his left hand, thinking of Sister Yuuka, who often bullied him when he was a child but always responded to his requests, and Sister Koharu, who tolerated him in every way.

'"It's just a few days now."

After looking at the mobile phone on the table, Sasaki looked up at Haruno Ayato, who was still praising his sister, and interjected.

"Haruno has a good relationship with my sister."

"Well...she is a very gentle person..."

Scratching his head apologetically and with a blush on his delicate face, Haruno Ayato nodded and then seemed to remember something, looking up at Sasaki. "By the way, Sasaki-kun, when do you plan to see Miss Takamine?"

After tidying up his desk and putting away his phone, Sasaki Fuyumi stood up. "I was thinking of finding the teacher at noon since I hadn't even seen a shadow of a part-time job. Now that you've referred one to me, I might as well use the long break to see the teacher."

Waving his hand towards Haruno Ayato, the boy walked towards the staff room, following the route he had taken at the end of the previous class.

Entering the staff room, he easily found Miss Takamine, who was busy writing something

After he told her the purpose of his visit, Takamine Ayako, who was dressed in smart, professional attire, and had a delicate face but a serious and capable temperament, gave the answer.

"I also know a little about your family situation. Joining a club may indeed affect you. What do you think?"

Lifting her glasses, the beautiful teacher tapped the armrest of the chair with her slender fingers and looked at the handsome boy standing beside her.

Ignoring Sakashiro Kurumi, who was winking at him from behind Miss Takamine, Sasaki Fuyumi thought for a moment before sharing his thoughts.

"Is there a club that doesn't require a lot of time? I can join a club, but if it takes up too much time..."

"A club with not many activities..." Blinking, Miss Takamine furrowed her brows, considering a club that would fit Sasaki's requirements.

After thinking for a while, Takamine Ayako, who realized that there was nothing suitable, accidentally saw a book on the table, and her blue eyes suddenly lit up.

"There is currently no club that meets your requirements, but the school library is short of a staff member..."

"If you want to go, you can go and have a look after school this afternoon. There is already an administrator there. After you go there, ask her what you can do, and if there are no objections, you just need to fill out this form and give it to her."

Pulling out a form from her drawer, Miss Takamine handed it to Sasaki.

"Oh, by the way, her name is Serizawa Yukiha, she's from the class next to yours."

"Okay."
