At the back of the school building, the shadow of the structure was cast on the lawn, and the tips of the grass appeared somewhat yellowed.
Bare branches stretched out before Aozawa's eyes.
He was still eating the eel bento that Hojo Shouko made.
"Aozawa!"
A call came from afar, as if a whirlwind carrying torrential rain rushed forward, like a massive beast running wildly on the ground, creating an illusion of earth-shaking movement.
Thump, thump, thump, Hojo Tetsuji stepped over the withered grass and charged in front of Aozawa, he was breathing heavily, not from physical exhaustion, but from emotional upheaval.
"Did you know Shouko likes you?"
Hojo Tetsuji ignored Arakawa Reina who was beside him, his eyes wide like a bull's, seeking an answer.
"I just found out too."
Aozawa nodded.
He wasn't a fool, and the clumsy excuse from Hojo Shouko certainly didn't deceive him.
And the reason why the other party used such a clumsy excuse to deceive him, he could somewhat guess.
