Deceived

After school.

　　The light was colored as the sun set, and the air at dusk was a little cooler, and the energetic screams of the sports club came from the field in the distance.

　　"Furuhashi-san, please lock the classroom door when you leave, and please be careful."

　　"Okay, thank you Kashima-san. Inumori-san and Chono-san, be careful on the way."

　　Furuhashi took the keys from the female classmate with a smile, and after watching them leave, she couldn't help muttering a few words.

　　"The three of them are really nice, but I don't know why, but they always find it a bit annoying..."

　　She heard that the Thorn Club was formed? Organizations like her personal fan club, it was embarrassing and disturbing.

　　But after all, the three of them were friends, and Furuhashi didn't have much to say. As long as it doesn't interfere with her daily life, it's fine.

　　Staring at the empty classroom, it's been about 20 minutes after school. Only Shinichi had been sleeping since noon, and Furuhashi remained sitting on the chair.

　　Young boys and girls were alone in class at night, and an air of silence permeated between them. This scene was really embarrassing to think about.

Furuhashi turned her head and saw Shinichi sleeping next to her, and her expression turned into a wry smile.

　　"No matter how I put it, there isn't a good atmosphere right now…"

　　And she also called Ogata Rizu. It is estimated that there will be one more person in this class in a short time, and then it will wake up Shinichi.

　　Furuhashi didn't follow Shinichi's request to wake him up after school.

　　Even if it was just an extra hour or two, she wanted his to rest a little more, and not force himself to teach them. Otherwise, no one will be happy.

　　But the test is coming soon, so Furuhashi won't waste time like this, she called Ogata just to let the two study together, so that Shinichi won't be sidelined.

　　As an assistant, she thought she had done her job.

　　After staring at Shinichi's sleeping face for two or three seconds, Furuhashi took out a math problem and started today's own study time before Ogata arrived.

　　This is what the three girls lying behind the classroom door saw.

　　"What is the relationship between Princess Furuhashi and Asada..."

　　"Guarding his sleep, even living with him at the expense of school time, is just a prince beside Sleeping Beauty..."

　　"The roles are reversed, the scandal between the two of them seems to be over."

　　Kashima who had the temperament of a young lady, shook her head, and said earnestly: "No, we don't know all the details of Asada yet. If we entrust the princess to him like this, the simple and kind-hearted princess might be tricked. As the leader of the Thorn Club, I cannot sit still!"

　　"You are very motivated..." Butano and Inomori shook their heads helplessly.

　　The Thorn Club is also known as the Sleeping Beauty Protector Club. Simply put, it is the unofficial fan club of Furuhashi Fumino.

　　They usually don't interfere with Furuhashi's life, they just guard and watch from the sidelines, seeing it as a treasure to heal souls. They would use any means possible to prevent the male students from approaching Furuhashi.

And this time, their target is the male student known as the Unwavering Second King, who has good grades and is friendly to others, and gives the impression that he is a study madman, Asada Shinichi.

　　Obviously, the two of them hadn't interacted at all a few days ago, but recently, their relationship had suddenly developed rapidly. Furuhashi, who usually kept a certain distance from men, actually took on the appearance of a shy girl in love this afternoon, which immediately made the entire Thorn Club member alert.

　　And the three of them were the main cadres and leaders of the Thorn Club. As classmates who have the best relationship with Furuhashi, it is their duty to protect her love life!

　　"The second is kind-hearted and has no more scandals than Princess Furuhashi... However, someone has seen him bicker with Nakano Nino, the transfer student from Class A, so she shouldn't be included in his love life..."

　　"Innocence plus good looks, very scientific temperament, there is probably no one in class who is a better match for Princess Furuhashi than him. I think if Princess Furuhashi really likes him, we should help them."

　　"Of course! But we will have to observe and see if he will attack Princess Furuhashi just because he is alone in class."

Kashima's eyes were cold, "The two of them have only known each other for three days, and they shouldn't even reach the second phase. If Asada was that eager to attack Princess Furuhashi, that meant he was just a thinking beast with his lower body. Princess Furuhashi must not be approached by a beast like that!"

　　"That's right." The other two girls nodded their heads with serious expressions.

　　"But Asada is sleeping, how could he attack Princess Furuhashi?"

　　Kashima: "😐"

　　At this time, a sound came from the Bluetooth headset that Kashima was hanging on her ear.

　　"President, someone is approaching Class B...it's Ogata Rizu from Class C."

　　"Ogata Rizu? Did she come to look for Princess Furuhashi? Or Asada?" Kashima was serious, "It seems that there is some unknown relationship between the three of them... Come back and have a peek later!"

　　"Don't be so blunt..."

　　...

　　Ogata pushed open class B's door, Furuhashi stopped writing and waved at her.

　　"Ricchan~ I've been waiting for you~"

　　"Sorry, I have work to do today," answered Ogata flatly. As she looked at Shinichi, she asked suspiciously, "What's wrong with Asada-san? He looks very pale."

　　"Ah... Supposedly to help us prepare textbooks for study. He stayed up all night, but today he's in a bad mood…" Furuhashi smiled bitterly, "Originally he wanted me to wake him up after school. But I don't think we can bother him like this, at least let him continue to sleep and then we'll study on our own until 6 p.m."

　　Ogata was silent for a moment, then nodded: "It's like Fumino said..."

　　"bell--!"

　　Before the words were finished, a bell suddenly pierced the dull air, and the two who were caught off guard were shocked.

　　"Fumino, is this an alarm clock?"

　　"I didn't set the alarm clock..."

　　"But it voice sounded so close..."

　　Just before they turned left and right to find the source of the ringtone, Shinichi who was lying on the table frowned, got up slowly and took out a cellphone from his trouser pocket, then opened his eyes, and turned off the cellphone alarm with blurred vision.

　　"Haaa... I know that..."

　　Shinichi rubbed his eyes, looked at the time on his cellphone, shook his head and sighed.

　　"A gentle and kind-hearted girl like Furuhashi, who is always considerate of others, definitely wouldn't wake me up because of my physical condition..."

　　He was clearly praising, but his tone didn't even feel the emotions of happiness or embarrassment, only laziness and helplessness.

　　Pressing one hand on the table to support his chin, Shinichi turned his head and half closed his eyes to stare at Furuhashi, whose whole body was stiff.

　　The corners of his mouth curved up, and he smiled.

　　"Then my assistant, two hundred questions, are you mentally prepared?"
