Insensitive Bocchi-kun ~Reluctantly Heading to School Today~ [Dropped] - Chapter 102: Various Changes

Chapter 102: Various Changes

“Hey, Mamiya-kun. After today’s homeroom is over, don’t forget, we have a meeting of the executive committee in the multipurpose room. You can’t forget, okay? It’s important.”

“Ah, that’s right. Thank you.”

The one who kindly reminded me, as I was getting ready to leave, was Saya Yamamoto, who sits next to me.

Yes, in the end, Yamamoto became the girls’ representative on the cultural festival executive committee.

With Alice and Tanaka-kun as subs, and also Hayami-san, who gets along well with Yamamoto.

It’s something to be grateful for.

“So, let’s go together at least. You can’t go ahead on your own, okay? We go together.”

And with those words, I realize that Saya Yamamoto is looking into my face with a concerned expression.

She’s… close again. 

Well, that’s okay, I guess.

“Ah, got it. Together, right.”

If it were me from the first term, I definitely would have gone alone.

But really, it’s from these moments that I need to start making changes.

So we’re going together, huh?

“Yeah! Together.”

Why does she look so happy now?

Yamamoto is, after all…

No, not that. But…

“And, um… about going home together afterward… What do you think? Just the two of us, Mamiya-kun and me.”

“…”

Going home together… Just the two of us…

“Is it… perhaps not okay?”

“No, it’s not… but, okay…”

I don’t have a reason to refuse, but when she asks with that kind of expression, it’s a little…

“Yay. I’m happy. Very… very happy.”

“…”

So very happy, and what’s more, extremely so.

What does that mean…?

I wonder if I’m overthinking things.

I even start to feel a bit disgusted with myself.

But when I think back on her words and actions up to now, there’s a part of me that, especially lately, can’t help but potentially misinterpret them.

“Fufu, I’m so happy…”

Right now, for some reason, she’s fidgeting slightly and smiling up at me with an upward glance, staring intently at me.

See, there it is again…

When she gives off that vibe.

Having a bit more emotional leeway than before, I find myself thinking and imagining all sorts of things even more.

Even now, it’s clear that Yamamoto’s face is… redder than usual.

“…”

I really wonder where the old Yamamoto has gone.

The girl in front of me now is different from before… indeed, she’s more demure.

And innocently… cunning.

It seems like that’s the impression, probably

Only towards me…

It’s such that I might misunderstand.

I could end up misunderstanding.

After all, I am a guy…

“Anyway, let’s do our best. Mamiya-kun. Together, okay?”

“Y-yeah.”

There’s that look again…

“Tch”

Huh?

Lost in thought, I could swear I heard a sudden clicking of the tongue from somewhere.

Somehow it feels like it was directed at me…

Sakaki? No, he left early again today.

And the same goes for Moriya and Takasago.

So who could it be? Well, it doesn’t really matter, but…

Could it be Tanaka-kun?

It doesn’t matter, yet somehow it’s still bothering me.

“…”

No, Tanaka-kun has been oddly fixated on Yorimoto for a while now.

I don’t understand why, but he’s been staring intently at the red-haired transfer student Yorimoto as if sizing him up.

I really don’t get it.

Then, Yorimoto?

No, probably not. Yeah, not him.

Just until recently, he was sitting with his feet on the desk, lounging back arrogantly, but now, for some reason, he’s sitting quietly, head buried in his arms on the desk, much like I used to.

Hey… what’s going on.

I don’t quite understand, but are you okay, Yorimoto?

“…”

Well, I don’t understand what’s happening anymore.

“…”

Anyway, let’s do our best, executive committee.

Yeah, let’s try our best.

But, what’s with those guys, seriously…

“…”

Let’s just leave them be.

Yeah…
