[Name] followed Tsuchigomori in silence because she didn't know what to talk about to somehow lift up the awkward atmosphere. [Name] heard that adults gave life changing advices but she also didn't know what to ask. "[Surname]-san." Tsuchigomori called her name that made her mind go back from where it came from.

"Yes?" [Name] answered almost immediately.

"When I said that writing your solution can cost five points, you can't just write made up things that don't align from the question just because you can't answer it. At least do it with effort." Tsuchigomori was talking about the Physics activity that [Name] answered a while ago, she added some shenanigans there and there just so he could give her five points. "I gave you three points instead."

"At least there's points." The [hair color] haired girl sweat-dropped. Then it went silent again, [Name] knew how to strike a conversation on people around her age, younger than her and maybe a bit older than her but Tsuchigomori is like way too old. "Ehem. Sensei, got any stories to tell?" [Name] asked.

Tsuchigomori sighed. "I do happen to know some tales and it will definitely leave you a lesson to tackle." [Name]'s face brightened, hearing stories from adults are kind of interesting especially teachers because it takes half of the time and without realizing it time is up. "Fine, I'll tell you a story."

"There was once two people who went to this school before, they did most things together, they were friends, not giving a shit to those who teased them to be together instead." Tsuchigomori began telling her a story that he knew from one of the books in the 4PM Library by a random student's record. "Eventually, the two of them grew feelings towards each other. During their last year in this school, one of them confessed their feelings to the other."

"And the other one liked them back, right?"

There was a hopeful look on [Name]'s eyes, she loved stories like this. Like Yashiro, she reads romance mangas and fanfiction whenever she's free to the point that she'll literally stay up till morning so she won't have to sleep without knowing what happens next. "I tried to find the other person's book since the story that I'm telling you is the perspective of the person who confessed."

"They didn't end up together, so you can guess whether they had feelings for each other or it was one sided." Tsuchigomori continued telling his story since they have a long way to walk till they reach the end of the tunnel. "Due to personal reasons, they communicated by chat because seeing each other was a lot harder." [Name] chewed the inside of her cheek knowing damn well where this is going, she can already predict the ending of the story. They were right when they said that the beginning is only happy.

"Then at some point, they stopped communicating with each other, correct?"

"Yes."

[Name] laughed triumphantly, then it died down because her teacher didn't laugh at all. She could only laugh off the fact that she went through the same thing except for what happened on the beginning of the story. "They end up together right?" [Name] asked for some assurance that this tale is going to be a happy one.
