The day to hold out the tailing got here.

Though each Sandai and Shino would often prepare to move to their part-time jobs as soon as it was after college, at present was a day-off. With none hurry they have been on the point of depart, and thoroughly ensuring each single transfer of Prez.

Talking of which, the results of the discuss: it will be simply Sandai and Shino doing the tailing. Takasago had been feeling hesitant it doesn’t matter what, so she had refused to hitch.

Apparently she was high quality with simply receiving the report of the investigation.

“Say, you bought no work at present, Shino?”

“It’s a day-off, however I’ve one thing to do at present.”

“Have to be on a date together with your bf, isn’t it? Fujiwara already completely your precedence in any case.”

“Yeah.”

“Haaah~… bfbfbfbfbfbfbfbfbf, I need a bf too~.”

“Good luck.”

“See ya.”

Shino’s pals languidly walked out of and left the classroom. As time handed, the variety of different classmates have been reducing as nicely, and once they observed, most of them have been gone.

Nonetheless, the Prez was nonetheless within the classroom.

Apparently absorbed in studying one thing, he was staring on the e-book with a severe face whereas seated in his personal seat.

“The Prez, I’m wondering what he’s studying. A pocket e-book?”

“Most likely some sort of educational e-book, I suppose.”

“A tough e-book?”

“It’s a tough e-book, I’d say.”

“Should you learn one thing like that… will your take a look at rating go up?”

“Your leads to like trendy Japanese can in all probability go up—hmm?”

Prez checked the time, closed the e-book, put it in his bag, and headed out of the college. Sandai and Shino adopted after him.

“…Perhaps he’s going residence?”

“He checked the time, so quite than going residence, it certain seems like he acquired someplace to go.”

“I’m wondering the place he’s going.”

The Prez pushed up the bridge of his glasses along with his center finger as soon as, all of the sudden stopped in his tracks and regarded again.

“Is it my creativeness? I really feel like somebody’s watching, although…”

Sandai and Shino hurriedly went into cowl to cover.

“That’s shut!”

“C’mon, don’t all of the sudden look again, Prez.”

Prez tilted his head like, “?” and began strolling as soon as once more. After which, he went right into a multi-floor constructing close to the station.

There was a listing of names of preparatory faculties on the constructing’s nameplate. There have been all types of preparatory faculties, starting from a widely known to an unheard-of one.

“Positive is a constructing with all types of prep faculties.”

“Uwaah… I completely don’t wanna go to a prep college. I imply, it prices like lot of cash too, proper?”

From Shino’s perspective, who wasn’t good at finding out, apparently the act of devoting oneself to finding out a lot that one would even voluntarily pay for it was laborious to grasp.

The sensation was comprehensible.

Sandai as nicely, he would quite spend cash on gentle novels or animes and wouldn’t think about finding out so laborious he would pay for it, so he had been doing the so-called self-study fashion at residence till now.

Nonetheless, he additionally understood the nice factors of preparatory faculties.

“As a result of you probably have eyes set on faculty entrance exams, prep college will assist. You’ll get taught the tendency of your required faculty and the technique for it. It’ll take time for those who attempt to do it alone. It may be a shortcut.”

“Finding out for entrance exams… Is it one thing you do now? Despite the fact that we’re nonetheless in second yr.”

“It additionally is determined by the faculty you wish to go to, however in relation to aiming for someplace well-known, in all probability there are additionally individuals who have been getting ready for it ever since center college.”

“I completely can by no means do it…”

“Properly, it’s additionally laborious to take care of your motivation. Until it’s somebody with some sort of motive or causes, you gained’t final.”

“Do you have got any sort of purpose or one thing, Sandai? You’re fairly good at finding out, proper? I imply, you’re adequate you may assist me keep away from failing.”

Sandai was definitely good at finding out.

However not as a result of he preferred finding out, nor as a result of there was some sort of robust motive that he was devoting himself to it. It was merely killing time.

“It’s as a result of I’m a loner and time is all I acquired. I simply acquired nothing else to do, so I’ve all the time been finding out.”

“I see now. However now that you just talked about it, you certain are fairly monotonous and don’t appear to be there’s one thing you wanna do.”

“Guess so. That apart, we will’t simply carry on standing in entrance of the constructing, so let’s go to the quick meals over there. We are able to additionally see this constructing’s entrance if we take the window seat.”

“Roger.”

Sandai and Shino entered the quick meals restaurant, and took a vacant window seat. From right here they have been monitoring the constructing’s entrance, and waited for Prez to come back out.

Nonetheless, Prez by no means got here out even after a number of hours of ready.

Subsequent factor they knew, it was already 8 pm.

Maybe the Prez had quite a lot of programs, or possibly he was doing a significantly severe course. Though that they had by no means requested the individual himself, he did appear to have a purpose, and from his regular speech and conduct they may inform that he additionally acquired a excessive motivation to review.

Why is somebody with a very good head such as you in our faculty—Sandai had as soon as been informed so by Nakaoka, nevertheless it appeared that utilized to Prez as nicely.

It meant that with educational means being near Sandai’s, he might at the least get 70 or 80 even when he have been to take the nationwide college entrance examination now.

“Prez doesn’t come out in any respect… Do you research this lengthy in a prep college? That is mainly like a traditional college.”

Shino’s endurance gave the impression to be significantly sporting skinny because of the tailing getting stretched out, and it was starting to indicate on her face.

It appeared it will be good to deliver up a subject that might enhance her temper a bit of.

“…Talking of which, do you bear in mind how I mentioned I’d offer you a reward for working laborious finding out? Let’s select it collectively now. It’s an efficient use of time.”

“I do bear in mind~! You’re proper, let’s give it some thought now!”

As they have been chatting, “How’s this?” “How about this this one?” whereas looking out on their telephones, Shino’s temper was getting higher.

Shino was so cute with such a easy facet of hers.

That was why Sandai now needed to spoil her a bit, and when Shino simply now murmured, “I wanna go to a scorching spring,” he ended up wanting to satisfy that want.

Subsequent factor he knew, he was making a cellphone name to a scorching spring inn that appeared to have availability on the spur of the second.

“Thanks for calling. That is OO Inn.”

“I’m calling to make a reservation…”

“Actually. Then I want to ask for the specified date, if I could.”

“Is there any availability after the twenty fourth of December? Will probably be for 2 folks, one feminine and one male. For one night time.”

“Exterior of the thirty first, we do have rooms out there for reservation, nevertheless…”

“I see. Umm, by the best way, do the worth… differs relying on the day?”

“From the twenty ninth of December to the fifth of January of the next yr, a particular surcharge will probably be utilized. For dates exterior of those, a surcharge will probably be utilized for Sundays and nationwide holidays, after which the common fee will probably be utilized for weekdays.”

“Ah, I see. Then for the twenty eighth please. One room for 2 folks, one feminine and one male, and the least costly one please.”

“Actually. Then might I ask to your identify?”

“It’s Fujiwara. It’s Fujiwara Sandai.”

“Thanks very a lot. Then I want to affirm the data, if I could. Will probably be one room for 2 folks, one feminine and one male, and for the reason that least costly room has been requested, we’ll put together a traditional sized, conventional room. Solely breakfast will probably be served. The reservation is for one night time on the twenty eighth, and the identify of the reserver is Fujiwara Sandai-sama. Is there any mistake?”

“N-No. It’s all right.”

“Thanks very a lot. We OO Inn has acquired your reservation. We stay up for seeing you on the day of your go to.”

Sandai regained his calmness solely after ending the decision and seeing Shino trying barely apologetic.

“Is it actually okay…?”

If we have been to precise Sandai’s trustworthy feeling at the moment, it will be: I went for an in a single day journey on the spur of the second. What ought to I do?

Nonetheless, it was additionally laborious to make one other name to cancel it instantly after making a reservation. Apart from, there was just a bit little bit of placing on airs as nicely.

“It’s high quality.”

No backtracking, Sandai inspired himself so. After which, using on this momentum, Sandai additionally determined to brace himself to face the issue that had been placed on maintain.

“As anticipated, I feel it’s very insincere to go for an in a single day journey whereas I nonetheless haven’t greeted your dad and mom. That’s why I’ll go and greet your dad and mom earlier than we head to the recent spring.”

“Err… I don’t thoughts, however… by some means it’s such as you’re all of the sudden prepared on the spur of the second. Are you want being rash or something, Sandai?”

“I’m not. It’s simply, I need what may be accomplished accomplished whereas there’s nonetheless the momentum.”

“O-Okay, I acquired it.”

The making of the choice owed the whole lot to Sandai’s personal conflicted emotions, nevertheless it appeared to look so sudden to Shino, making her bewildered.

Nonetheless, Shino regarded considerably comfortable as nicely.

With such an occasion on one hand, the clock was nearly about to show to 9 pm. Shortly after, Prez lastly got here out from the preparatory college constructing.

“There’s the Prez popping out.”

“You’re proper. He lastly got here out.”

Sandai and Shino let loose one huge sigh, rapidly paid the invoice, acquired out of the restaurant, and as soon as once more started following Prez.

Regardless of not seeking to the entrance as he was concentrating on flash playing cards, Prez was skillfully strolling with out bumping into anybody passing by.

Expertise can be important to do one thing like this. So to sum it up, Prez was commonly finding out even when he was strolling.

As Sandai couldn’t assist however be impressed from seeing such an untiring endeavor from shut by, Prez entered the most important bookstore within the business district.

“He entered a bookstore.”

“I suppose we must always enter, too.”

“Yeah.”

They entered the bookstore and continued tailing Prez. Prez was on the lookout for a college entrance examination workbook within the examination preparation part.

Utterly severe and constant to his research.

“Hey hey, Sandai. What’s that purple e-book?”

“That’s gotta be a group of previous questions. The school entrance examination stuff.”

“Does it imply he’s nonetheless eager about finding out even after he’s accomplished with prep college?”

“I suppose so.”

“As for me, quite than finding out for exams, I’d quite do this type of finding out!”

Maybe having noticed it someplace, Shino held a e-book titled 20 Methods to Kiss to Deepen Your Love and thrusted it out in entrance of Sandai.

“…It certain is a one-of-a-kind e-book.”

“However, one thing like this makes you wanna check out it, proper? 20 sorts of kissing that’ll deepen your love!”

It definitely was a e-book extra intriguing than a reference e-book, so Sandai nodded. Shino went to pay the invoice as she puffed out, after which got here again.

And at that second.

Prez all of the sudden turned to look over right here. Sandai and Shino hurriedly hid themselves.

“I feel I heard a well-recognized voice…”

Might it’s that that they had been observed?

Undecided.

Sandai and Shino held their breath, and determined to attend for Prez to assume that it was his creativeness.

“Umm.”

Prez was nonetheless trying of their route. They hoped Prez would rapidly look again on the bookshelves, however…

“Umm, Yuizaki-san, Fujiwara-kun.”

“What now? We’re at the moment on the verge of getting came upon by Prez.”

“Yeah yeah. Be quiet for a—wait, Takasago-chan!?”

Shino was enormously shocked. Sandai was shocked as nicely and regarded again.

Takasago was there for some cause.

She wasn’t supposed to come back for the tailing, although…

“Why are you right here, Takasago?”

“…I believed you mentioned you’d anticipate the report.”

Requested in speedy succession by Sandai and Shino, Takasago mumblingly and nervously spoke. “Umm, ultimately, I felt unhealthy simply leaving it to you two, and I even have been following you from the beginning, so…”

What an sudden improvement. Sandai and Shino had been tailing Prez, after which it appeared that she had been tailing them tailing him.

Nonetheless, despite the fact that nobody might’ve anticipated this, Sandai and Shino getting shocked by Takasago’s look was a foul transfer.

Due to them making loud voices, they ended up getting observed by Prez. Subsequent factor they knew, Prez had already arrived earlier than them.

“Right now I felt like there’s some bizarre gazes on me… so it’s you guys.”

Prez pushed up the bridge of his glasses along with his center finger.

Due to the sunshine inside the shop reflecting off the glass of his glasses, it was laborious to inform what sort of expression Prez was making, however he should’ve understood that he had been tailed.

Sandai and Shino checked out one another’s faces.

Each of them had a bitter expression.

As Sandai was worrying whether or not it will be higher to truthfully apologize, Takasago dashed out in entrance of Prez.

“U-Umm, Shihouin-kun.”

“Takasago? Had been you additionally following me? Only for what goal?”

“N-No, that’s not.”

“Might it’s that you just acquired some unhealthy influences from Fujiwara-kun and Yuizaki-kun? You’re alleged to be a correct scholar.”

As to be anticipated, Prez gave the impression to be offended as nicely.

That was additionally clear to see from him utilizing sharp phrases, calling Sandai and Shino unhealthy influences.

“Yuizaki-san and Fujiwara-kun didn’t do something improper. It’s as a result of I requested them to look into you, so…”

“You probably did? Do you have got any cause? Should you did any of this for no severe cause, as anticipated, you’ll damage my… emotions…”

Prez all of the sudden started to lose his phrases.

It was as a result of the tears working down Takasago’s cheeks have been dropping on the ground.

“Umm, I… umm… I wish to find out about you…”

“You wish to know…?”

“As a result of I such as you.”

“Eh?”

“I such as you, so I wish to find out about you. I additionally know your birthday is shut, so I wish to know what you want, and so…”

Takasago’s tears have been growing and finally turned like a waterfall.

Takasago crouched down and cried on and on, maybe incessantly overwhelmed by the emotions of affection, and remorse of getting accomplished one thing to get herself hated.

After which, “I’m sorry,” she repeated nothing however these phrases. Within the meantime, a crowd had shaped within the environment.

“What? Why’s there a lady crying?”

“Appears like that four-eyes is the trigger, bro.”

“Don’t go round making a lady cry, dude.”

“Is it a pair’s quarrel?”

Prez was flustered, maybe not understanding what he ought to do, nevertheless it appeared he understood that solely he might do one thing about this case.

Prez crouched down, and when he and Takasago have been eye stage, he positioned his hand on her shoulder.

“Umm… While you mentioned like, did it imply as the other intercourse?”

“Hyesh.”

Regardless of what number of occasions Takasago tried to wipe her tears together with her fingers, it by no means stopped. Nonetheless, the second Prez wiped it along with his finger, her tears stopped.

“I hope this gained’t damage your emotions, however to be frank, I don’t perceive a lady’s coronary heart in any respect. I’ve little connection to such issues, after which I’m unfamiliar with it above the rest. That’s why I don’t know what I ought to do.”

“Doez ith imply… doez ith imply you hate me?”

“I by no means mentioned that. It simply means I don’t perceive. That’s why for those who don’t thoughts, how about we begin as pals?”

Prez nonetheless regarded troubled, however on the identical time, his voice carried some sort of gentleness in it.

Takasago closed her lips tightly, after which like a metronome, nodded many times.

This was in all probability a improvement fully past expectation for Takasago, however regarding the outcome, it appeared to have turned within the good route.

“Not unhealthy, four-eyes.”

“Strategy to go, four-eyes. That’s precisely what being a person is.”

“Now that’s what I name youth!”

Sandai and Shino quietly slipped away from the gang and sneaked out of the bookstore.

“I wasn’t certain how it will prove for a time, nevertheless it appears it labored out, huh.”

“When issues are like that, it’s higher to quietly depart them alone, isn’t it?”

“And so they in all probability can deal with the remaining themselves. Guess it’s time to return. It’s additionally time to your prepare, proper?”

“Ah, you’re proper.”

Whatever the particulars, Takasago had conveyed her emotions, and the Prez had accepted it in his personal manner. And they need to have the option work out the remaining themselves.

To meddle in it from that time ahead can be boorish.

Relating to Takasago and the Prez after that, Sandai later was informed some particulars by Shino. Takasago apparently ready the birthday current for Prez by straight asking the individual in query by herself.
