The weekend is over and today, the students were supposed to be present in the theatre for a new batch of videos.
For the past few days, Kiyotaka was the main victim of constant jealous looks from the guys and teasing from the girls, that mostly included the close friend circles of Kushida and Ichinose. At this point, he gave up of explaining that he didn’t have anything to do with it.
Additionally, he was the subject of admiration for many first year students, asking him to teach them how to easily capture a maiden's heart like he does, which again, he had nothing to do with. Although it was tiring, he welcomed the points that came with his so-called valuable advice.
His initial goal to become a memorable existence was fulfilled so abruptly that he started to feel empty once again.
"How does it feel to be popular, Kiyotaka?"
As the both of them walked together to the theatre, Kei indicated that question with a small grin.
"Not bad, I guess."
"You can be complacent about it too, you know," she nudged him playfully.
"Aren’t you mad?" he curiously asked.
"Hm? Oh, well... it's a bit conflicting, you know."
Kiyotaka nodded, understanding her inner turmoil.
"Well, I admit that one part of me is upset and jealous. But another part of me is really happy that everybody is finally looking at you. Everything you did for the class and the other people you helped. I won't lie when I say that some will criticize your methods, but it doesn’t really change the fact you helped them improve."
Kiyotaka was grateful for his partner's consideration in this situation.
"E-enough of that! Let's see what my boyfriend is going to pull today!" she became embarrassed after singing his praises so brazenly.
"Yeah, let's go."
The students swarmed inside the theatre along with the teachers. The host was patiently waiting for them to be sitted.
Before the raging storm of teenage banters increased any further, the host loudly clapped his hands, that immediately brought silence.
???: Let's begin.
The monitor suddenly brightened in the dark room, which blinded most of their eyes.
To their surprise, a quote had once again surfaced at the starting of the video.
...
«𝐑𝐞𝐝 𝐟𝐥𝐚𝐠𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞, 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐡𝐞𝐞𝐝»
--𝑴𝒂𝒓𝒌 𝑴𝒂𝒏𝒔𝒐𝒏
...
Suzune: A...red flag?
Maezono: Oh boy, that doesn’t sound good at all.
Chiaki: As if we haven’t already seen our fair share of it.
Nishimura: It might be a big deal if they are mentioning it explicitly this time.
Hirata: Did Mark Manson really say that?
Keisei: It could be something along those lines. I don't recall anything.
Kei: Kiyotaka is definitely surrounded by a lot of them, mainly those two culprits.
