The case where I was gradually getting buried in the heavy love of my childhood friend who had miraculously recovered from their illness was perfect! - Chapter 39 : Results!

Chapter 39 : Results!

The day after the proficiency test — Just as Aizawa-sensei had mentioned, the results were indeed posted.

The first year students crowded around the bulletin board in the hallway to see the posted results, eager to be the first ones to look.

“It’s hard to see the results like this.”

“Yeah…”

Well, I understand the excitement, but could they please move aside already?

“Ah, Rokudou-kun! And Tohsaka-san too!”

“Hey, Wada-kun.”

“Good morning, Wada-kun.”

Wada-kun noticed us as we approached the bulletin board.

Akihiro and Takeshi… they still haven’t arrived, as usual.

“There are a lot of people here, huh?”

“Yeah, everyone must really want those sweets tickets.”

“…Indeed, I sense some strong determination.”

Mental energy, huh? Well, I nodded in agreement. Because, you know?

“Sweets tickets, sweets tickets, sweets tickets… Sweets tickets!”

“I’m definitely getting them… and I’ll happily gain weight from all the treats!”

“Come on, get a hold of yourself!?”

“I’ll give the sweets tickets to the girls. I’ll get fat on free meal tickets!”

“…Are you an idiot too?”

By the way, at this point, the results were already out, but the mood was quite lively.

“So, Wada-kun?”

“Oh, it’s about the results, right?”

I nodded. I don’t really need to see it for myself, and if someone tells me, that’s fine. Rion doesn’t seem to care much either.

“We had a close competition with Class 3, but our Class 1 came out on top.”

“…I see.”

“Hehe, I could sense their joy, though.”

With classmates celebrating in the corner of my field of vision, I already knew the results. But, considering the number of people who gathered and worked hard together, this result was only natural.

“You did it, Nagi-kun.”

“Yeah.”

Just like during the entrance exams, seeing the actual results like this is a happy thing.

“Someone else suggested the study group, but you and Tohsaka-san took the lead and organized everyone. That’s quite amazing.”

“I didn’t really do anything. It’s mostly Rion’s achievement.”

“No, Nagi-kun, that’s—”

“That’s not true.”

Rion tried to say something, but Wada-kun unexpectedly interjected. Both Rion and I stared at him in surprise.

“I participated in the study group, so I saw it. Tohsaka-san did handle the teaching part. But when things got a bit noisy or the conversation got too much, wasn’t Rokudou-kun the one who actively kept things in order?”

“…Well, yeah.”

“Maintaining order is… I don’t know. It takes a lot of courage. I remember back in middle school, when someone pointed out mistakes or talked too much, there were people who would argue back or even start fights. Even when someone gave Rokudou-kun a hard time, he kept saying, ‘Let’s focus, this is a place for everyone,’… I thought that was really cool.”

Wada-kun is unexpectedly praising me a lot. I didn’t expect to feel this embarrassed from a guy’s words, and Rion, who probably saw through me, was grinning next to me.

“Um, Rokudou-kun might be overshadowed by Tohsaka-san at times, but I became friends with him, and because of that, I could see things from a different perspective. So, I can say it — Rokudou-kun shines brilliantly as the vice representative of our class.”

“Wada-kun, please spare me…”

It’s really too embarrassing!

Just as I was about to say that, those guys who make even more noise came over!

“That’s right, Nagisa. You should have more confidence.”

“Nagisa underrated himself unnecessarily.”

They forcefully linked their arms around me—Akihiro from behind and Takeshi showing up next to him.

“Hey, you guys…”

“Good morning to both of you.”

Rion greeted them, and for a moment, Akihiro and Takeshi’s expressions slipped into a sly smile, but they quickly pretended to be casual, probably conscious of the eyes around them.

“We’re going to say it since it’s a good opportunity. Nagisa here… even when he’s with us, he often worries about the princess, you know?”

“We’re used to it now… but still, it’s cool to see someone genuinely worried about their childhood friend. Even though we’re close, genuinely worrying about someone—well, it’s frustrating, but it’s cool.”

Alright… At this rate I will just die due to embarrassment. I’m going to the bathroom.

Leaving Rion’s side is a bit awkward, but if I have friends nearby, it’s not a problem… It’s those guys who embarrassed me; that’s the problem.

And it seems Asumi-san has also come, so there’s nothing to worry about.

After quickly putting down my bag, I headed to the bathroom, where I happened to meet Hiroki again.

“Good morning, Nagisa.”

“Good morning, Hiroki.”

“We seem to have quite a connection with the timings of visiting the bathroom, don’t we?”

“I wonder why.”

“Congratulations on the proficiency test.”

“Thanks. It was a close match, though.”

Nevertheless, Hiroki smiled wryly.

After finishing in the bathroom, instead of immediately returning to the classroom, we took the opportunity to have a conversation.

“It’s not just the proficiency test. Rankings seem to come out in other regular tests as well—so we can continue to compete.”

“You’re really into battles, huh?”

“Thanks to my sister’s influence, I like the strongest-in-another-world-reincarnation genre.”

“Wow.”

I can’t imagine Hiroki being into that kind of thing…

Well, while I was talking with Hiroki leisurely, something happened.

“So, we’re going to have an event soon, right?”

“Yeah! There’s also a photo session, so please come and see!”

The one talking about the event is probably Saijo-san, and she likely has a gravure idol job coming up soon.

Her idol appearance…hmm.

“Hiroki, are you interested in that kind of thing?”

“I can’t watch it because my sister would kill me.”

“Hey, what kind of relationship do you have with your sister, anyway?”

For some reason, I’m starting to wonder about it now.

I never really asked about it, but when we returned to the classroom, Wada-kun seemed to be getting excited about something, facing Rion.

“Oh, I see… so that’s how you became friends with Rokudou-kun! Childhood friends are justice after all!”

“Hehe, Wada-kun is an interesting guy.”

…It seems like things are getting strangely lively over here too.

Anyway, the winning prize of the proficiency test, including the sweets voucher, ended up in our hands, but the one who was most delighted about it was Aizawa-sensei.

“Sensei loves all of you, thanks to you all I can enjoy this.”

Even if she says that while kissing the sweets voucher, it doesn’t really affect us.

This teacher… the gap between when she’s cool and when she’s not is too extreme.
