What is this. This strange atmosphere.
The classroom was filled with an unprecedented silence. It seemed so unreal for the usually noisy F class.
My classmates who had not uttered even a single line of idle talk. The writing sound of Sensei's chalk on the blackboard reverberated.
"......hn?"
Abruptly, I felt someone's eyes on me and turned around.
As I did that, there was a person who seemed to have caught my glance and she frantically lowered her face.
--- Minami.
What, what's that. Could she have been looking in my direction all this while? Doesn't that seem like...... the behavior of a person towards someone she likes......
As I considered that, a 'don', 'don', throbbing began escalating to a rapid rate.
Uw, uwah...... Somehow, even I'm feeling embarrassed......I can feel my cheeks burning. That kiss, could it be that Minami, towards me......? But, up till now, I've only been beaten severely by her; it didn't seem like an element of love......
"Now, Sugawa-kun. What chemical is needed to yield 3 mole of ammonia?"
"Pour hydrochloric acid into Yoshii's eyes."
"Wrong. Well then, Asakura-kun."
"Pour hydrochloric acid into Yoshii's nose."
"It's meaningless if you pour it into the wrong place. Well then, Udou-kun."
"Pour hydrochloric acid into both Yoshii's eyes and nose."
""That's it!""
"That's not it. And when you're answering, don't look in the direction of Yoshii-kun, but look in the direction of Sensei here."
With that kind of atmosphere that was different from usual, the chime rang to signal the end of the first period.
"Eh.........., that's all for today."
Sensei let out a large sigh and left the classroom.
"That damn Yoshii had made eye contact with Shimada......!"
"That damn bastard had the eyes that were aiming for Shimada......!"
"Bastard......! Following Himeji and Kinoshita, if he were to have Shimada as well, then doesn't that mean that the only hope of this class is no one else but Aki-chan......!"
As the killing gazes shot me in turns, I could see someone making her way to my seat.
Swing, swing, like the tail of a horse, approaching me,
"Mi, Minami?"
"Aki. Good, good morning......"
Greeted Minami with her eyes downcast.
"Uhn, good morning."
For some reason, I couldn't look at her as well. There were many times I couldn't look at her straight in the eye when she was seething with anger, but this occasion was a first.
"Erm, you know, Aki. I have two requests, will you hear them......?"
"Request? What is it, I wonder?"
Without looking at each other, our conversation continued.
"Erm, regarding the first one, I would like to use the same chabudai as you......"
"Huh? Chabudai?"
"Yeah. Last week, because of various things that happened with Miharu, my chabudai has become a little difficult to use."
