My youth romance is always confusing

After getting off the bus, I followed Yukinoshita.

I don't know what she was holding, but she was allowed in after she showed it to the guard.

“Is a student ID from ten years ago still valid?”

In order to prevent the guard from hearing, I leaned close to her and whispered.

Yukino rolled her eyes at Hachiman.

"That's not a student ID, it's a school director's ID."

.....

"Big dog owner."

They are indeed a wealthy family.

"Same here, you're also a big dog owner now."

Yukino led Hachiman for a stroll along the edge of the playground.

Although it was afternoon, there were still many football club members practicing on the football field under the sun which had not yet set.

This is what is called youth. Well, it has nothing to do with me.

My impression of sports clubs is still the high school students who made it to the national competitions in anime.

This is too much, I can't understand it.

"arrive."

After walking a little further, Yukino stopped.

"Arrived...Arrived?"

I looked around and saw nothing but a teaching building. What was this guy trying to do?

While Hachiman was confused, a conspicuously dressed woman ran over.

"Ah, leave it to me next."

There is no doubt that the person coming is Shizuka Hiratsuka.

"Hiratsuka-sensei, what are you doing?"

The teacher in front of me, Hiratsuka, was wearing a white coat-like outer coat in the middle of summer, and a women's suit underneath.

This guy is not afraid of Rema. Also, isn’t this the dress she wore when she was a teacher? It’s a wonder she can fit into it.

When Yukino saw the person taking over, she nodded and walked away with the bag without saying a word.

"Haha, nothing, I just suddenly felt like bringing you back to see me."

Hiratsuka Shizuka laughed loudly and patted Hachiman's shoulder hard.

Be gentle...be gentle, my small body can easily be broken apart by you.

"I came back to Sobu High School once before."

"When?"

"That time with the crescent moon."

"Oh, so it was that time."

Teacher Pingzhong and I strolled in the empty corridor.

Maybe it’s because today is the weekend, there are not many people in the teaching building at this time, and only people from sports clubs are practicing outside.

"Speaking of which, is it really okay for us to go back and forth so casually like this?"

We won't be able to take responsibility if anything is lost.

I glanced at Hiratsuka-sensei and saw that she had no such concerns.

"We are the school board, so we do have this power."

"The right to lose things without being held responsible?"

"It's about going in and out of school! Why do you always want to go to those winding places?"

Before we knew it, Mr. Hiratsuka and I had turned several corners while going up the stairs.

I am very familiar with this route.

Because I was always called here by a female teacher.

"Wow~"

Teacher Hiratsuka took out the key and opened the door, and I followed her in.

Sure enough, the layout inside is still the same, and it hasn't changed in ten years.

How lazy these people are.

Shizuka Hiratsuka found the seat that used to belong to her and sat down.

Hachiman could only stand in front of her like a student being scolded.

Of course, it was purely because he didn't want to sit on someone else's chair without permission, as he always felt that it would be too troublesome.

Sitting in a familiar position, I want to do familiar things.

Shizuka Hiratsuka pulled out a pack of Seven Stars cigarettes from her bulging breast pocket.

"Hey, teacher, this is not good."

After all, it's a borrowed room, and it would be hard to explain if there was a smell of smoke, right?

"Oh, out of habit..."

After being interrupted by Hachiman, Hiratsuka Shizuka realized the inappropriateness of her behavior and quickly put the cigarette back into her pocket and laughed.

"Ah, I didn't think of that. I'm really getting old."

Having said that, if I add a "certainly" here, I will probably be beaten into a sandbag on the spot.

You always have to think before responding to a woman's words.

"So, what's the point of dressing like you were in high school?"

Since there were no outsiders around, I leaned on Mr. Hiratsuka's desk to reduce physical exertion.

"Didn't I just say that it was just a whim? I wanted to bring you to Sobu High School before you leave to see what has changed and what hasn't changed in the past ten years."

Although she didn't light it, Shizuka Hiratsuka still took out a cigarette and held it between her fingers.

Apparently, talking like this can help her get back to her old self.

"Changes? Those guys on the playground are still yelling 'vivi'. No matter what era it is, they are still modern."

Thinking back to the scene I saw when I was accompanying Yukinoshita just now, I was speechless.

"Other than that, the school uniforms and stuff haven't changed. Even the office layout hasn't changed. I'm afraid even the salary hasn't changed."

The country's economy has been stagnant, and based on this, I think it is most likely that this is the case.

Poor working people.

"Really? So that's what you think. That's not bad."

She lifted my face with her right hand and looked at me with a tenderness I had never seen before.

"Maybe that's how you feel, but for us, some things have changed and some things haven't changed in the past ten years."

"That's it. Because of this, looking at you here, I can deeply feel the changes brought about by time."

I felt a little uncomfortable being treated gently by her in such a gentle tone.

But this atmosphere didn't last long, and Shizuka Hiratsuka immediately started to act pretentiously.

"After all, someone also said that, 'Youth is a lie, and also--'"

"teacher!"

I quickly interrupted the teacher's in-depth exploration of my dark history.

Damn it, this woman always likes to make fun of me.

After being interrupted by Hachiman, Hiratsuka Shizuka leaned back in her chair and closed her eyes.

"Hmm~ Huh~"

So if you don't light the cigarette and just smoke it like this, you won't be able to taste anything.

"Now that I've seen it, I'll go back."

Maybe it’s because it’s evening, I’m feeling more and more tired, and it seems like it won’t be long before I leave.

"Go back? Who wants to go back?"

Hearing what Hachiman said, Hiratsuka Shizuka pretended to be surprised.

"Hmm? Didn't you say that? Just let me take a look--"

"Ah, I'm done here."

Suddenly, there were footsteps in the corridor outside the door, and they were getting closer and closer.

"It looks like the next one has arrived."

"Next...next?"

Before I could figure out what was going on, the door was opened by a beautiful lady with a ponytail.

"Kawasaki?"

The person who appeared before me was a person named Saki Kawasaki.

Also, she was wearing the Sobu High School uniform, just like me.

"Hiratsuka-sensei, as agreed, I will take this guy away."

Kawasaki ignored Hachiman who was still surprised and confirmed with Hiratsuka Shizuka.

"Let's go, just remember to let it go before the time comes."

Shizuka Hiratsuka drove Hachiman away as if he were a stray cat she had picked up.

Although I didn't understand the situation, I could only follow Kawasaki.

Hiratsuka Shizuka was alone, enjoying the quiet time in the house.

"So what is going on here?"

I just asked Hiratsuka-sensei, but she didn't tell me either. She just said something like 'it was a sudden inspiration' or something. I don't understand.

Now we can only ask Kawasaki.

Kawasaki stopped and looked back at Hachiman with a strange expression.

"What? Didn't Yukinoshita tell you?"

"say what?"

As if he was defeated by this stupid couple, Kawasaki held his forehead and sighed.

"That guy really didn't say anything?"

"No, he dragged me to Sobu High School in the afternoon, handed me over to Mr. Hiratsuka without saying anything, and then ran away by himself."

Kawasaki asked me, who should I ask? I was still wondering.

"Ah, then just follow me obediently. I won't hurt you anyway."

——Well, even though Kawasaki didn’t say it, I roughly guessed it. After all, the fact that she is standing here now is the best proof.

First it was Hiratsuka Sensei, then Kawasaki.

The rest of the people must be there too, and those guys might be hiding there.

"arrive."

Kawasaki pushed open the door in front of him and walked in.

"Is this...a rooftop?"

I was so focused on thinking that I didn't notice that Kawasaki brought me to the rooftop of the teaching building.

Standing on the roof of the teaching building, the breeze gently blows on my face, bringing a touch of coolness to this hot summer day.

Looking down, you can see that the people from the sports club are still practicing hard.

What a hard worker!

I looked back at Kawasaki and found that she was also looking downstairs, but she seemed a little absent-minded?

“It was like that back then.”

Kawasaki started talking about the past.

"A guy who doesn't want to get involved with the people in the class, and a guy who is looking for a place to enjoy his lunch alone, met for the first time on this rooftop."

She closed her eyes.

"Who are those two people?"
