- Chapter 14 - The venomous snow white is wearing a facade?
Koyuki kept looking downwards and let out a self-deprecating smile.
“So that’s how I became the ‘Venomous Snow White.’ There aren’t many people who would willingly approach such a difficult girl, so I guess I won’t have to deal with them very often.”
“Huh? I heard you’ve been confessed to quite a bit though?”
“They all give up after the first time. I reject them so harshly every time after all.”
“But I heard you also have an unofficial fan club though…?”
“Huh? What’s that?”
Koyuki’s eyes widened in surprise.
It seemed that the unofficial fan club that Tatsumi had mentioned was something unknown to Koyuki, or it might not exist at all.
Koyuki tilted her head, letting out a small sigh.
“Anyway, that’s the kind of woman I am. Just pretending to be strong… But, I’m actually a coward who’s scared of what others think of me.”
Koyuki’s voice trembled as she spoke, her eyes slightly shaking as if about to overflow with tears.
So, without hesitation, Naoya spoke up.
“That’s not true.”
“Huh?”
Koyuki looked up in surprise. Naoya looked around and pointed to a corner of the courtyard.
“For example… look over there. Isn’t that Iwatani-sensei?”
The person he was pointing at was Iwatani-sensei, the school counselor.
He was a man with a large body build and a stern face, and in front of him were the students standing in line for uniform inspections who looked pale and scared.
As his appearance suggested, he was known as one of the strictest teachers in the school. He never overlooked even the slightest violation of school rules, and had never once smiled in front of the students.
“That… What about Iwatani-sensei?”
“He actually has a gentle personality in reality. He’s forcing himself to be harsh to the students.”
“Huh? That’s not true.”
“It is true. You can tell just by looking at him.”
As they talked, the uniform inspection ended, and the students scattered like spiders.
Seeing them off, Iwatani-sensei let out a small sigh, his face had a tired and dark color. However, he quickly regained his stern expression and returned to the school building.
Thanks to that, Koyuki’s eyes widened in surprise.
“S-seems like he’s really forcing himself… I had no idea.”
“I know right. He always puts on a good face.”
Only a few teachers, and perhaps Naoya, knew about this.
Iwatani-sensei was tough on the students as well as his colleagues. Despite being aware that he was being avoided because of this, he put on the character of the “demon teacher” in order to focus on his work.
“I can understand to some extent what people are thinking, so I know. Everyone, more or less using a facade in front of others, to some degree.
Facade of a strict teacher.
Facade of a kind-hearted saint.
Facade of a sarcastic jester to keep people at a distance.
Everyone has their own personality which they don’t want others to know, which they use depending on the situation. It’s not necessarily a bad thing, and it’s one of the necessary pieces of equipment to survive.
“That’s why Shirogane-san is not a coward. She’s just an ordinary girl.”
“Sasahara-kun…”
Koyuki squeezed out a hoarse voice while gaping.
With her hand still frozen, Naoya slowly spoke to her.
“I can understand Shirogane-san’s true feelings. It’s okay to act cool and distant. If that’s who Shirogane-san is, I’ll accept it with all my heart.”
“That’s…..”
Koyuki was stunned for a moment, but suddenly her face stiffened.
Because of this, Naoya tilted his head as he couldn’t understand her reactions properly.
‘Eh, wasn’t that a pretty good line? Why did she have to stiffen like that?’
Koyuki was confused for a while but then her eyes turned sharp all of a sudden.
“I’m glad you said that. But then, I have to make up my mind too.”
“What do you mean…?”
“Of course, it’s obvious.”
Koyuki squeezed her fist and declared in a loud voice.
“I want to change myself! I’ll show you that I can be a more honest girl…!”
“Huh?”
Koyuki showed motivation in a completely unexpected direction.
