Chapter 288: Tryst with Suguha
After leaving Nami Takayama, Haruno Sawayama did not rush back to school, but went to Chiyoda District to pick up Suguha Esaki at the agreed time.
This was something the two had agreed on in the morning. Suguha Ezaki had to go back to school to fill out some materials related to further studies. Since she would not be going to school anymore, Haruno Sawayama invited her to pick him up for lunch at noon.
It’s a good opportunity to take advantage of the lunch break to spend more time with each other.
After all, the other party had just left the Ezaki family and was still somewhat uncomfortable with the situation. In addition, the internal affairs of the Ezaki family had not yet been completely settled. Sawayama Haruno also guessed that Suguha was worried.
So, he took his things and took the train to Suguha's high school. However, not long after he reached the school gate, he was stopped by the physical education teacher at the gate.
"Hey, student over there, come over and give me a hand."
The PE teacher, who was a burly man in a dark green sportswear, was shouting at Sawayama Haruno, "Don't you see there's a big box of stuff here? Come over and help."
"I?"
Sawayama Haruno was stunned when he heard this.
"Is there anyone else?"
The physical education teacher lifted a large cardboard box and said unhappily, "Are you from the wind band? Come and help us quickly. We need to move these things in before we decorate the venue for the school celebration this afternoon."
Wind Ensemble.
Did he mistake the suit he was wearing for the formal attire that only conductors in wind orchestras wear?
Sawayama Haruno was not annoyed. He stepped forward with a smile and helped take the other party's big cardboard box.
"Moving all of them to the gymnasium? Or somewhere else?"
"The gymnasium will be enough. They will use it to decorate the playground later." The physical education teacher said casually.
Seeing that Sawayama Haruno looked very relaxed, he hesitated for a moment, then picked up another cardboard box from the ground and added it to the table.
"Can you move it?"
"no problem."
Zeshan Haruno shook the portion in his hand and said with a smile: "In fact, we can add one more."
"If you add one more, you won't be able to see the road, right?" The physical education teacher also started to move two cartons, muttering, "And if it takes up too much of your time, Mr. Ozawa will keep nagging you later."
"That's fine with me."
Sawayama Haruno handed over the steps at the right time.
Not only does he have nothing to do with the group, he is not even a member of the wind orchestra. I don't think Mr. Ozawa will get angry with the physical education teacher because of an outsider like him.
As a condition for being able to sneak into the school, something as trivial as helping to move some things is simply not worth mentioning.
The physical education teacher seemed to be infected by Sawayama Haruno's enthusiastic attitude, and his mood improved a lot. While there was still some distance to the gymnasium, he casually started a conversation with the other party.
"You are a third-year student, right?"
"Yes, I'm graduating soon." Sawayama Haruno lied without changing his expression.
"After this will be your last performance in the wind band, have you asked the girl you like to come and watch?" the physical education teacher suddenly asked.
"The girl I like."
Zeshan Haruno thought for a moment and said with a smile: "I haven't invited you yet. I'm worried that they will reject me."
"Indecisive men are not popular."
The physical education teacher laughed and said, "If we don't invite them to come and watch the performance, wouldn't it be a waste of our expensive suits and uniforms?"
"That's right."
Sawayama Haruno thought to himself, you can actually see that. How could you mistake me for the conductor of the wind orchestra?
No. Maybe it was because the suit was so expensive that the other party misunderstood me.
After all, Suguha also attends a private high school, and the annual tuition is frighteningly high. As the conductor of the wind band in such a school, the suits he wears are probably equally expensive.
"Do you like girls of the same grade?"
"Teacher, you seem to be a bit gossipy."
"It's human nature to gossip." The PE teacher glared at him and scolded him with a smile, "Maybe I can help you with some advice. This is the last performance of your high school life. How can you not find a good opportunity to express your feelings?"
"The girl I like is very outstanding, but I'm a little worried that I'm not worthy of her, so I'm embarrassed to say it out loud." Sawayama Haruno murmured.
Should Ezaki Suguha be considered an excellent girl?
Although her grades are extremely poor, there seems to be nothing else that people can find fault with, so it is not an exaggeration to say that she is an excellent girl. After all, academic performance is only part of the measurement, but does not represent the whole person.
"Excellent girl, you like the president of the student union?"
"No." Sawayama Haruno shook his head and added, "It's a tall girl named Ezaki."
"Ezaki."
The physical education teacher suddenly fell silent for some reason, and when he looked at Sawayama Haruno, his eyes were filled with pity.
"No wonder you didn't dare to invite me."
He muttered quietly, "If it's Ezaki-san, then it's no wonder."
"Teacher, do you think there is still hope for me?"
"No, not anymore."
The physical education teacher poured cold water on Sawayama Haruno mercilessly, and added: "I'm not trying to discourage you. Although the identity of the conductor of the wind band may be very popular with girls, you also know that Ezaki is different from others." "I know."
"No, you don't."
". Is the teacher blood type B?"
"You know?"
The physical education teacher glanced at him in surprise.
“Guessed it.”
Sawayama Haruno felt a little embarrassed. He just said it casually, but he didn't expect that he actually guessed it right.
The reason why he asked whether the other person was type B blood was not because he had prejudice against people with this blood type, but because there was a very strange contempt chain phenomenon in the island country - that is, among the many blood types, type B blood is the most likely to be disliked by others.
The general meaning is that people with blood type B generally have distinct personalities and are straightforward. Such people are naturally unwelcome in the workplace full of polite words. That is why so many Japanese people hate people with blood type B.
He just happened to think of this matter and asked casually, but he didn't expect that he actually asked the right question.
The physical education teacher seemed to have guessed what Zeshan Haruno meant, but he didn't care at all and said, "The teacher is doing this for your own good."
"Because I was also the instructor of the Kendo Club before, I know better than anyone that Ezaki-san is very popular among boys, but no matter how hard they try, they will end up with nothing."
"It's really difficult." Sawayama Haruno agreed with a smile.
I don't know what the physical education teacher will think when he finds out that I'm actually Suguha's boyfriend.
No. This is like a child showing off, which is too childish.
I should help move the things, then quickly find Suguha and leave the school to eat.
After secretly making up his mind, Sawayama Haruno came to the gymnasium under the guidance of the physical education teacher. After putting down the two large cardboard boxes in his hands, he subconsciously wanted to follow the physical education teacher back to move them again, but was rejected by the other party with a wave of his hand.
"Ezaki-san is in the office building right now."
He said cryptically, "This is the last chance. I don't know if she will come to school after completing the formalities, so you'd better hurry up."
After saying that, he patted Sawayama Haruno's shoulder and showed a sympathetic look.
What a strange person, Sawayama Haruno thought helplessly.
Just now he said that he had no hope at all, but now he is hinting at me to go find Suguha Ezaki.
But this physical education teacher was quite interesting, and he just happened to find out where Suguha was.
While Suguha thought he was waiting outside the school, he could sneak over to find her.
As if he had anticipated his girlfriend's surprised look, Sawayama Haruno couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth a little.
No wonder when I was in school in my previous life, I always saw people sneaking into school to find girlfriends. It turns out that this kind of surprise is quite interesting.
"Thank you, teacher. I'll go over first."
"go Go."
The physical education teacher waved his hand impatiently, as if he had seen many students like Sawayama Haruno.
On the other side, inside the teachers' office building.
Suguha Ezaki handed the completed materials to the teacher, expressed her gratitude to the other party, and exchanged a few polite words before she took her things and left the office.
My high school life has come to an end.
Suguha Ezaki looked at a lush tree in front of the office building, a little absent-minded.
Although the official end date is January next year, she has already completed the formalities, so it doesn't matter if she doesn't come to school afterwards.
It's a strange feeling. I have lost all my identities and now I can be said to be a completely ordinary person. An extraordinary person will not completely get rid of the identity of a student at this time.
So what kind of identity should I take now?
Not knowing what she was thinking of, the tall girl raised the corner of her mouth into a beautiful arc. However, before she could silently recite the title in her heart, a familiar and cheerful male voice coming from the side made her subconsciously turn her head to look.
"Suguha."
".Haruno?"
Ezaki Suguha looked over reflexively, and when she saw that the person coming was indeed Sawayama Haruno, she showed a surprised expression.
"How did you get into the school?"
"Shhhh."
Sawayama Haruno made a silent gesture and explained with a smile: "I was dragged in by a very enthusiastic physical education teacher. He mistook me for a student here."
“Mistaken identity.”
Suguha Ezaki blinked, obviously surprised by her boyfriend's sudden appearance.
Just when she wanted to ask further, Sawayama Haruno heard footsteps coming from behind him, so he took the initiative to hold Ezaki Suguha's hand and whispered, "Let's go out for dinner?"
"Um"
Suoha Esaki smiled.
