Starting off with a message from the author . Let’s congratulate him for his success .
Author –
I passed the first screening of the HJ Grand Prize, thanks to all of you!
Thank you very much!
I hope you continue to enjoy the work .
I am going to do my best with the updates!
Shizuku suddenly charged over . She pulled my right arm as if to urge me on .
The uninformed attack threw me off and my body couldn’t react in a favourable manner, and I hit my temporal region in the glass window .
I broke away from my sitting posture, but I still managed to stand up . Then, Shizuku explained the reason for her actions .
“We will be watching movies in the audiovisual room for the next class, you know!”
“……Ah, they said something like that last week . ”
Next up was the modern Japanese class .
Occasionally, we would watch movies during this class . It seemed to have nothing to do with watching movies, but it is what it is .
That was simply how our teacher rolled .
“Good works can not only be found in books but also in films”, was what he said .
Something along the lines of, “Movies help nurture a person’s ability to analyse and understand the content . ”
From the students’ perspective, though, it equated to free time .
Irrespective of the reason, since all we had to do, was idly watch movies, this class was popular among the students .
“Let’s move fast to secure seats . It would be terrible if we couldn’t sit together, you know . ”
“What would be terrible?……Your seat is probably already secured anyway . ”
Her followers must have already reserved the tail-end seat of the middle row of the audiovisual room, the so-called VIP seat for her .
They wouldn’t make a mistake there .
I surveyed the classroom, but several students were already missing . That must be the reason .
It didn’t matter to me . I could sit anywhere .
The popular tail-end seats, the window-side seats, and the ones in the edges of the room were probably going to be occupied anyways . It was mostly just the seats next to the classmates’ who were alone even in the classroom, which were vacant .
I would say those were the best seats for enjoying the movie in silence .
I had rather sit there .

In the meanwhile, the number of students in the classroom had started decreasing .
The fact that I couldn’t catch sight of Yuuto must be because, just like in Shizuku’s case, the students who wanted to sit near him, must have taken him along to secure seats .
In essence, the seats are for all, but in reality, they are not .
That sounded like a proverb .
“……Let’s put off our conversation for now . Shall we get moving too?”
Kirasaka got up from her seat and proposed so .
She showed no signs of making eye contact with Shizuku . It was as if she didn’t exist .
“Ara? Kirasaksan was here too?……I am gonna say this now, but I will be the one to set next to Minato-kun . ”
“In that case, there won’t be any problems if I just sit on the other side, right?……Be that as it may, you were here, huh? I lacked too much interest, so I didn’t notice . ”
“Haah……shall we go?”
Sparks flew everywhere . They hurled poisonous words at each other, locking horns as usual .
My stomach was churning, but it could just be my imagination .
I grabbed the teaching materials and the writing tools, and the three of us started walking towards the third building where the audiovisual room was located .
Upon reaching the third building, which was mostly inhabited by the third-year students, we could immediately spot the audiovisual room .
As we opened the door, what came into our view was a somewhat dim classroom . The curtains had been pulled because we were going to watch a movie . Many students were already in their seats .
As one would expect, the popular seats were occupied .

Yuuto sat surrounded by our classmates . It was as if he had been fortified .
The boys were on the right, and the girls were on the left .
The two groups sat in a neatly demarcated fashion as if there was a boundary line separating them .
“Kanzaki-san! There is a seat here!”
“Eh……no, I”
When Shizuku followed me into the classroom, a female student called out to her .
As far as the “seat” was concerned, it was obviously the one next to Yuuto’s .
A supposedly “empty” seat up for grabs, but it didn’t take a genius to figure out that the seat was reserved for her .
Looking at how Yuuto’s followers didn’t say anything about the arrangement, it would seem that they had come to an understanding regarding that .
However, Shizuku wanted to sit with us .
Seeing Shizuku standing at the door perplexed, I issued a few words .
“……If you have to force yourself to sit according to others’ wishes, it should be fine to choose for yourself . ”
“Fufu, such a clumsy person you are……You could have just honestly said, ‘It’s fine to refuse, you know’ . ” (Kirasaka)
Kirasaka interpreted my words with a bitter smile on her face .
Could you not do that, please?
That made me sound like a tsundere male from god knows where . My embarrassment doubled .

Shizuku, who was looking at Kirasaka and me in front of her, gave us a small nod and went to talk to her classmates .
“Why!?”
A short while after, a voice laden with surprise resonated inside the classroom . That must have been Shizuku turning down the classmate’s offer .
We randomly found a place for three people to sit . Having ensconced myself in a chair, I turned to look at Yuuto’s direction .
Shizuku bowed her head several times to apologize, to which Yuuto put on a kind smile and said something .
“Sorry to have kept you waiting!”
“……It’s fine for you to be here?”
“Yes!”
Shizuku trotted up to me and assumed the chair on my right .
Kirasaka was on my left .
This is……flower in both hands?
No, rose in both hands is what this is .
[TN – Although rose is also a flower, it symbolizes prickly beauty . You only admire it from far . Unlike, “flower in both hands”, which is a Japanese proverb referring to a man being between two women . So, saying it’s rose adds an element of danger . ]
I did think that the gazes of the male students would concentrate on me, but there was nothing I could do about it .
After all, I was sitting between two astoundingly popular girls .
This class is going to be uncomfortable .
