Chapter 102 Part 1

Students Who Have Begun to Change (2) ~Hold Everything Tightly~

The second period of class ended a little early, and as soon as the teacher left the classroom along with the sound of the chime, Yuu stood up with the writing utensils and textbook he had prepared in advance for the next class in hand.

「I’ll be going first then.」

「Huh, Yuu-kun?」

Without waiting for Rei’s reply, who had a surprised look on his face, Yuu quickly opened the door and ran off.

「What’s wrong with that guy?」

「Who knows… Ah! I feel like something similar happened the day before yesterday, too. I wonder what he’s in such a hurry for?」

Rei and Masaya couldn’t help but tilt their heads at his sudden action.

Leaving the second school building, Yuu didn’t use the connecting passageway, but instead took a diagonal shortcut across the paved courtyard as he ran.

Due to the glare from the blazing sunlight, he was enveloped in sweltering heat and coiling humidity, but Yuu ran without paying it any mind.

Since class had just ended, there were no female students in sight, and no teachers to yell at him to stop, which was fortunate.

When he reached the administration building, he ran up the outdoor stairs that were located on the side of the schoolyard, skipping one step each.

However, he was in such a hurry that he ended up running into a female teacher who was coming down.

「Kyaa!」

「Whoa!」

The place happened to be the turn of the stairs, and as they passed by each other, they almost bumped into each other.

When Yuu saw that the other party lost her balance and was about to fall due to the momentum of him running toward her, without hesitation, he let go of the textbook and other items he was holding in his hands, grabbed her hand, and pulled her towards him.

She must be in charge of the girls’ classes.

Yuu had never seen her before, but looking at her semi long black hair and slender, tall figure, and also her white cutsew and long navy-blue flared skirt, she was a graceful teacher who would probably look good with a piano. Age-wise, she was probably in her late twenties.

「I’m sorry. Are you okay?」

Acknowledging that he, who was running up the stairs, was at fault, Yuu immediately apologized.

「Ah… Awawa… I, I’m okay…」

Although half hidden by her long hair, as the female teacher noticed that the person in front of her was Yuu, her face turned red and she fell into panic.

When Yuu noticed that he was holding the other party’s hand and shoulder and they were looking at each other from a close distance, he took his hands off her.

The teacher showed a slightly disappointed look on her face, but Yuu was picking up his textbooks and writing utensils that had fallen, so he didn’t notice.

「Well then, please excuse me.」

「Y-you mustn’t run up the stairs.」

「I’m sorry. I’ll be careful.」

She must have found it surprising that Yuu obediently apologized. The teacher’s eyes widened.

Lowering his head slightly, Yuu gave her a radiant smile, and then stopped running and left with quick steps.

After looking at that scene blankly, the teacher was at a loss whether she should chase after him or not before finally giving up.

「Uuu… even though I finally got the chance to come into contact with that Hirose-kun, what in the world am I doing?」

Apparently, word about Yuu had spread even to the teachers in charge of the girls’ classes.

Climbing the outdoor stairs as fast as he could, Yuu arrived at the third floor.

As soon as he opened the door, he noticed that Youko and Kazumi were waiting for him.

「「Yuu-kun!」」

「Hey there, you’re early.」

「We also just got here.」

「It makes us happy that you came here quickly, too, Yuu-kun.」

「Fufufu. I was also looking forward to it, after all.」

When Yuu took Yoko and Kazumi’s hands as they moved closer to him, they smiled at each other.

The two girls with whom he got into physical relationships for the first time on the day of the inter-class ball game competition.

Since the week started, both Yuu and the girls had wanted to make contact one way or another.

However, after school, both sides were busy with club activities and student council.

So when they met in the morning, they had a secret meeting and decided.

They decided to meet during break time after the second period on the days of the week when the boys class moved to the classroom in the administration building for the third period.

Normally, the break between classes was only 10 minutes, but specific to the break between the second and third period, they were given 20 minutes.

This was done in consideration of the boys who needed time to travel because the school building was a little far away.

For this reason, subjects that required them to move classes, such as physical education and music, were assigned to boys’ classes during the third period.

By the way, today’s third period was chemistry, which was held there in the science room on the second floor of the administration building.

As such, Youko and Kazumi, and then Yuma and Mashiro, who had been added to the group.

Since the new students orienteering event, he had been trying to flirt and interact with the four of them, with whom he had connections, during break times, twice since last week.

However, Yuu noticed that the number of people had increased today.

「Oh? Nakai-san and the others too?」

「Looks like we’ve been found out…」

「You see, we were curious as to why Youko and others would leave the classroom as soon as the class was over. We thought it was suspicious.」

The place was in front of the music room at the end of the third floor of the administration building.

As if to hide Yuu, Youko, Kazumi, Yuma, and Mashiro were surrounding him from the other side of the hallway.

And four more girls had joined them today.

However, they were by no means unfamiliar people to Yuu.

They were girls who participated in the volleyball section of the inter-class ball game competition, and with whom he had deepened his relationships, enjoying some skinship in the first half of what he called reward after the competition came to an end.

The tallest of the eight girls, at around 180cm tall, was Nakai Mao.

Their relationships started when she was seated in front of Yuu on the bus he boarded during the new students orienteering event.

She had a cute, small face that suited her short hair, and she had long legs and a nice figure that seemed to boast perfect 1:8 heat to body proportions (her breasts were modest).

Partly because she was a member of the volleyball club during her middle school days, in inter-class ball game tournaments, she played such an active role that she pretty much carried the team as the ace attacker.

Joining the baseball club after entering high school, it seemed that she was aiming to become an outfielder with fast feet and skillful batting.

In order of height, the next one was Yokota Satirat, who was half-Thai. She was also known as Sati, and was taller than Yuu, about mid-170cm.

She had light brown skin that looked as if it had been tanned, but partly because Thai people were similar to Japanese people, if she hadn’t told him about it, he probably wouldn’t have been able to tell.

It seemed that even among Southeast Asian women, Thai women were famous for their beauty, and Sati, who had the beauty inherited from her mother, who came to Japan and married a Japanese man, was no exception.

Yuu got the feeling that Sati, who had a somewhat mature aura about her, would turn into an incredible beauty in two or three years.

Ueno Shouko, who was a pitcher on the softball club, was about the same height as Yuu, but her shoulders were broad, and her body was packed with well-trained muscles.

Although not as big as Mashiro’s, her breasts were also big, so much that his eye ended up getting drawn to them as they grandly bounced about during the inter-class ball game tournament.

In matches, she was full of spirit and would often shout, but normally she was a shy person, and this gap was new to Yuu.

And then, Shimozono Kayo, the last one, was about the same height as Mashiro, about 160cm.

Her hairstyle was a short bob. She was a nice girl who was always smiling and spoke in a lively manner.

Incidentally, Sati and Kayo belonged to the football club.
