"I, I don't like people touching my head! It's, it's a very sensitive spot!"
Hayashimura An was stunned. "Are there really people whose sensitive spots are on the top of their heads?"
"W-what are you talking about?!"
Hearing that word, Shiina Chizuru's face turned even redder, like blood. "It's not some sensitive, sensitive… It's just that this spot is more sensitive, and I don't like people touching it! Don't you have one? A sensitive spot you don't like others to touch!?"
Hayashimura An thought for a moment, "Actually, I do."
"W-what spot?" Shiina Chizuru blinked.
After asking, she regretted it a little. She didn't want to understand him; why ask such things?
But then she thought, this was a trade-off… if she didn't get something in return, that would be a bigger loss!
"Political stance," Hayashimura An said firmly.
"..." Shiina Chizuru was utterly speechless.
Hayashimura An continued to walk quickly.
Shiina Chizuru still had to quicken her pace to keep up with him.
"I say, why do you know that… what's his name, Bee Arrow?" Shiina Chizuru asked.
"Some past events, it's hard to explain in a short while," Hayashimura An said.
"Oh…" Shiina Chizuru nodded, then said, "Mr. Hayashi is a bad person, don't let him deceive you."
"I know," Hayashimura An said.
"Then you still act like brothers with him..." Shiina Chizuru pouted.
"It's all acting, no emotion," Hayashimura An said.
"...Speaking of which, is 'Hayashimura An' your real name?" Shiina Chizuru asked.
"Yes," Hayato said.
"Nonsense, I bet you just made that up," Shiina Chizuru said.
"Whatever makes you happy," Hayashimura An said.
"Caught you, didn't I?" Shiina Chizuru said triumphantly, "I've never heard that name before. What's your real name?"
"Hayashimura An."
"Lin... How do you write that character?"
"You just remove the 'Xiao.'"
"Then didn't you just make it up!?"
"If you insist on thinking that, there's nothing I can do," Hayashimura An said.
"Tell me your real name!"
"Oh."
"Oh!? If you won't tell me, then tell me your class, and I'll find out myself."
"Heh heh."
"What does 'heh heh' mean? You—"
Shiina Chizuru put her hands on her hips and spoke imperiously, "Don't think you can just brush me off like that!"
Hayashimura An sighed.
He stopped walking and turned to look at Shiina Chizuru.
"Miss Shiina?"
Hayashimura An looked at Shiina Chizuru with his calm, dark eyes.
Under his gaze, her imposing aura was immediately halved.
She shrunk her neck, and her hands, which had been on her hips, relaxed, but her lips still stubbornly pouted, "W-what?"
W-what does he want to do?
He's not going to... ooxx or something here, is he? P-please, this is a corridor through the courtyard, it's open on all sides, it's too... too embarrassing. At least we should go to the rooftop...
But Hayashimura An smiled very gently.
This made Shiina Chizuru breathe a sigh of relief, feeling that he shouldn't do such a thing.
C-could he have something very important to say?
She had heard of Stockholm Syndrome before, where the victim develops feelings for the perpetrator. Could there be a perpetrator who develops feelings for the victim...?
Then she heard Hayashimura An speak softly, slowly saying:
"You're talking a lot today."
"!!"
"Could you talk less, please?"
"—"
Shiina Chizuru's face puffed up and turned a deep purple.
If her previous 'frustration' was more shame than anger, now only anger remained.
"Then I'm leaving!" Shiina Chizuru huffed.
"Bye," Hayashimura An said, without the slightest intention of stopping her.
Hayashimura An continued to walk forward.
But Shiina Chizuru, who had said she was 'leaving,' still followed behind him.
"..." Hayashimura An looked back at her.
Shiina Chizuru raised her head, her expression stubbornly saying, "T-this is the only way out of the school gate!"
However, in her heart, she felt extremely embarrassed... She had said 'I'm leaving,' and the other party hadn't objected, yet she had discovered that she could only go with him.
If such an awkward scene were to become a memory and resurface in her mind, it would be enough for her to cover her head with a blanket and scream 'Ah ah ah' in the middle of the night later on.
Hayashimura An nodded, saying nothing.
After walking through this section of the corridor.
Shiina Chizuru originally thought they had reached the end, but then she realized that both of them needed to leave the school, so they would have to continue walking together for a while longer...
D-darn it!
Shiina Chizuru cursed silently in her heart, she would definitely part ways with Mr. Hayashi once they left the school gate! Definitely!
But before she could part ways, Hayashimura An suddenly turned.
He didn't walk towards the school gate.
"...Eh?"
Shiina Chizuru saw that Hayashimura An was walking towards the sports field.
And on the sports field, there should be beautiful models from the big city doing a photoshoot.
After three or four seconds of being stunned, Shiina Chizuru gritted her teeth and stomped her foot.
And followed behind Hayashimura An again.
T-this guy is just testing her. Shiina Chizuru told herself that if she really left alone, she would have a terrible time in the next few days.
After all... after all, he still had something that could threaten her.
So she could only accompany him.
This was the only option, with no room for negotiation.
