Chapter 33.1
“I ended up calling you this time, I am really sorry Shinozuksan”
“No . . . . . ”
It was only me and my homeroom teacher Sudo-sensei who were left behind, all the other teachers went home . It was only Megane-sensei who suspected me of cheating while the other 2 only wanted to talk to me .
Himuro-sensei once again said thanks for his wife . He went home as soon as it was over saying that his wife is waiting, he really loves his wife . How nice, they are a happy couple . It is heartwarming .
The weak teacher wants to hear more from me . I was told that those two wanted to talk to me thoroughly, i will call it off if there is an chance since I am sure that something terrible will come out!
It looks like Megane-sensei did not yet understand . Upon leaving she said ”I am looking forward for the next test . ”, I have to work hard so that my rank will not fall next time .
“I think that Mito-sensei would probably not back down unless she talks directly with Shinozuka . She still doubts a student even though there isn’t any evidence . The talks will be settled if I apply pressure but, it would be troublesome if something would happen somewhere where I cannot see . There is a slight problem, Himuro-sensei is very dependable . It would be nice if you were to rely on someone . ”
The vice princ.i.p.al said, there seems to be other teachers expressed their doubts about my grades suddenly rising . No words can express it .
“It is hard to regain trust that was lost . But it can recover especially woth the current you Shinozuka, I expect many things from you . ”
“Expectations is it?”
I felt as if theeyes the vice princ.i.p.al were shining .
“In fact to tell you the truth, this time there were two important matters to discuss . Shinozuka, why don’t you join the volunteer club?”
Volunteering huh . It partic.i.p.ates in social activities and do volunteer work with no charge . In other words, it is to help people . It is such a wonderful club!
“I want to join!”
I wanted to enter the sports club and enjoy my youth but, going to school is enjoying enough already . I am thankful that I am able to spend each day happily .
“I am glad to hear that . ”
“The volunteer club, what kind of activities do they do?”
“Yes . They clean up the local area and help revitalize the local nursing care facilities . They also do other various welfare activities . ”
I can even do some cleaning . To be trusted on such a big role such as helping revitalize the area . . . . kuu~, my motivation is bursting out .
“Volunteer work will surely be useful for Shinozuksan’s future . Do your best . I will leave Sudo-sensei the procedure . ”
“Understood . ”
“And there is another thing, I want you to talk with Sudo-sensei . ”
“Wha, Vice Princ.i.p.al?”
Sudo-sensei was surprised at the words of the vice princ.i.p.al . It was the same as me .
“Certainly there is a big divide between Sudo-sensei and Shinozuka . It cannot be buried so easily even if we talk about it . But, nothing will start if no one talks . I think that you should approach this little by little . ”
The vice princ.i.p.al said so with a smile, he then left the cla.s.sroom . It was only me and my teacher that is left behind, there is an uncomfortably awkward atmosphere .
Ofu . . . . it is heavy . I miss the vice princ.i.p.al’s healing smile .
“U, uhm . . . . ”
“It is already late . Let’s go home before it gets dark . ”
It felt like I was rejected, he did not even say a word . I can’t see Sudo-sensei’s face who was looking out the window . I wonder what he is thinking, I do not know what he thinks of me .
It wasn’t seen, as I reached out for the door, I remembered .
Sundo-sensei saw me clearly , he saw me instead of Aika .
“Sensei,” thank you for your time today
Sudo-sensei did not move .
“I am happy that sensei is looking at me seriously . I will do my best in studying, doing student council activities, and as well as club activities . I will be in your care . ”
“I am happy that sensei is looking at me seriously . I will do my best in studying, doing student council activities, and as well as club activities . I will be in your care . ”
He has had a hard time up till now, let’s do our best to become Sudo-sensei’s strength . Speaking of what I can do, I will continue to persevere at school . The vice princ.i.p.al said that my reputation recently is on the rice . Sudo-sensei’s sever criticism had became gentle with this condition .
“Shinozuka”
“Huh?”
Someone called my name while I was about to go home, I turned my head around . I saw Sudou-sensei with his back still turned and head looking towards sky .
“ . . . . you are doing so well . Good luck . ”
I did not know what he said in the beginning but gradually I was able to understand what he meant and my cheek loosened .
“Ye, yes! I will do my best!”
Isn’t this what being supported is? It is isn’t it? I . . . . will . . . . do . . . . it!
I noticed that my motivation is rising . Now, it was only me and Sudo-sensei . I wonder what happened to Aikchan’s past, I might be able to hear it .
“Sensei . There is something that I wanted to hear this entire time . ”
“What?”
“Sensei . There is something that I wanted to hear this entire time . ”
“What?”
“What happened between me and sensei?”
“ . . . . . ”
There was no response . His body moved as if wanting to respond . The atmosphere became awkward again, Sudo-sensei turned around with a troubled expression .
There are no feelings in his expression . I mean, I just cannot read it . It is not even a cold gaze that he showed me when I first came here, it is expressionless . Why do you have such a face?
「……今のお前には知る必要はない。もう帰りなさい」
“ . . . . you do not have to know for now . Go home already . ”
I tried to go out the opposite door, he was the only one left inside the cla.s.sroom .
I thought that he was willing to compromise because of all the effort . Vice princ.i.p.al said, Sudo-sensei and I have a deep relationship . I will work hard little by little .
When I went to pick up my bag in my cla.s.sroom, there were still cla.s.smates that were in the cla.s.sroom .
“Huh~, Shinozuka is going home now too?”
“Yes . How about you two?”
“Well yeah . Shinozuksan would you like to go home together?”
“Is that really ok!? Then please . ”
