Seeing Yukinoshita's flustered and angry look, Mochizuki Yo felt much better.
He continued walking up the stairs and reached the rooftop.
He pushed open the large, rusty iron door.
A bright light shone in, and his view opened up.
Mochizuki arrived at the rooftop.
Although they claimed students were forbidden from the rooftop, the rooftop wasn't locked, and even the main door was dilapidated...
"Oh! So comfortable!"
Gusts of wind blew towards him; the fresh air made Mochizuki feel refreshed.
Some of his midday fatigue was also blown away.
Mochizuki walked behind the small room on the rooftop, where it blocked the sun and there were chairs for people to rest.
As it turned out, someone was there.
It was Kasumigaoka Utaha.
She was typing away on the laptop in front of her.
She wore a white headband on her long black straight hair, and conspicuous black stockings outlined her shapely thighs.
Mochizuki immediately recognized this character.
And, he decided to keep his distance and not get involved!
After all, while beautiful girls were nice, this was another person with a sharp tongue, who was, in a sense, a plus version of Yukinoshita...
Mochizuki didn't want to suffer double the verbal abuse.
Mochizuki felt a bit awkward; after all, he had just shouted, surely she didn't hear him.
He also hadn't expected Kasumigaoka Utaha to be at this school!
Even less did he expect to meet her on the rooftop.
Fortunately, there was more than one bench.
Mochizuki walked towards a bench to the side, keeping his distance from her.
Kasumigaoka was seriously revising the plot of her novel; hearing the sound of the iron door opening, her pretty eyebrows furrowed for a moment, thinking a sensei had come to check.
Luckily, it was a student.
Of course, even if it were a sensei, she wouldn't mind, since she had the privilege of being an honor student.
Seeing Mochizuki, whose face was being brushed by the breeze, he was an unfamiliar face; she inwardly commented that he was a decent-looking pretty boy.
Seeing Mochizuki sensibly walk to a nearby chair, she was quite satisfied.
After all, there were quite a few people on campus who tried to talk to her under the guise of a chance encounter.
Fortunately, Mochizuki didn't do that; he just glanced at her and walked away, even sitting in the furthest position.
This surprised Kasumigaoka Utaha somewhat; had her charm decreased?
Just like that, the two of them went about their own business.
The rooftop was as quiet as ever, with occasional sounds of the wind.
...Soon after finishing his bread, Mochizuki planned to return to the classroom.
After all, with Kasumigaoka nearby, he felt a bit stressed.
What for? Of course, it was time for a nap.
...Amidst slightly noisy sounds, Mochizuki gradually woke up.
It turned out the last class this afternoon was Sports Class; the girls had already gone to the changing room to change, and some boys had also gone to change into sportswear.
The remaining students were still fooling around in the classroom.
In Sports Class, after finishing the warm-up activities.
The Sports Teacher called out: "Today's task is running, Boys run 2000 meters, girls 1500 meters."
"After you finish running, you can have free time."
"No! sensei. We'll die!"
"Let's just have free time directly!"
Some students who weren't good at running cried out tragically.
However, the serious and earnest Sports Teacher would not agree; he refused in an unnegotiable tone, then showed a cruel smile.
"Stop talking nonsense, all of you run. Those who don't finish will stay behind for special training with me."
Hearing this, the students could only set off one after another.
Basically, the boys were in front and the girls were behind.
Of course, there were exceptions.
For example, Shiina Mahiru, who had good physical fitness, was running in a relatively leading position.
Among the girls, she was the first, even leading many boys.
And Mochizuki was quite miserable; he was at the back of the group, already surrounded by girls.
Fortunately, there were still a few students with larger physiques bringing up the rear.
"Can't do it... can't do it..."
Before long, the leading students had already caught up to the students at the back.
Among them was Shiina Mahiru.
Mahiru looked at Mochizuki ahead and couldn't help but worry a little.
Mochizuki-kun's physical fitness is really poor, can he finish?
At this point, Mochizuki's speed was as slow as walking, but he was still maintaining a running posture.
Just stop and walk!
Soon, Mahiru passed by Mochizuki, softly saying 'keep going'.
Mochizuki didn't hear clearly what Mahiru said.
After all, he was too tired; his feet felt as if filled with lead, every step he took was extremely heavy.
He was already out of breath and felt a bit of ringing in his ears; all he could hear was the pounding of his own heart.
He thought to himself: I didn't expect Mahiru to be behind me.
However, soon, a few more students ran past Mochizuki; the gusts of air they brought actually relieved some of the heat.
Only then did he realize that they were already one lap ahead of him...
More than ten minutes later, the students finished running one after another.
Mochizuki was also so tired that he sat directly under the shade of a tree to cool down, his cheeks covered in sweat.
He also felt parched, lightly licking his lips, which were a bit salty...
"Jogging +1, +1."
It was the system he hadn't seen in a long time.
Mochizuki looked around.
Quite a few students had already started free activities; he couldn't help but marvel at their abundant energy!
The girls, wearing cool sportswear, gathered together to play badminton, kick shuttlecocks, jump rope...
Shiina Mahiru was also kicking a shuttlecock; several thick-skinned boys went over wanting to join, but they were chased away by the girls accompanying Mahiru.
"Hmph, those stinky boys definitely want to come over and take advantage of Mahiru-chan."
With her companions protecting her, Mahiru also breathed a sigh of relief.
Mochizuki curled his lip; if they knew he and Mahiru were neighbors and Mahiru cooked for him.
He would definitely become a public enemy among the boys!
The boys, on the other hand, were sweating it out on the basketball court.
A blond guy was particularly eye-catching; oh, it was Hayama Hayato from the next class!
Many girls around were cheering, cheering for the boys, no, cheering for Hayama Hayato...
"What a popular guy!"
A soft voice of admiration came from nearby.
Mochizuki turned his head; oh, it was that dead-eyed student, Hikigaya Hachiman.
Hikigaya Hachiman was originally secretly pleased; their class was also required to run by the sensei, but he had only recently been discharged from the hospital, so the sensei didn't make him run.
He had been sitting here, inwardly singing praises to youth while watching the students exercising.
Seeing Hayama Hayato, he subconsciously said that sentence, not noticing anyone nearby.
"Hey, hey, you didn't hear that, did you? Well, I don't know you anyway, but could you stop staring at me!"
This person couldn't possibly have any ideas about him, right!
Hikigaya looked straight ahead, but his peripheral vision noticed Mochizuki observing him; his dead eyes provided good cover.
At least Mochizuki didn't notice.
Actually, Mochizuki just wanted to take a look at Hikigaya's dead eyes; after all, last time he was standing behind Hikigaya and couldn't observe them from the front.
Hmm, the dead eyes lived up to their reputation; the originally handsome Great sensei lost quite a few points because of his eyes...
Having rested well, Mochizuki got up and left, waiting for school to end to go to Fujikawa to sign the contract.
If he had known it was Sports Class in the afternoon, he would have skipped it at noon; but that was just a thought.
If Shizuka Hiratsuka found out he skipped class, even if it was Sports Class, he would be finished.
