Oreki Houtarou's Strength-First Classroom

indeed.

As long as you see the tea pillars, you will feel... well, even if you spend money to come here, you will feel that it is valuable.

Because, Sae Chabashira now shows a shy style that is completely different from her usual.

Cute maid outfit with black stockings.

It highlights the curvature of the smooth calves.

how to say.

The tea pillar in front of you gives people a sense of freshness.

The female colleague who was usually cold-faced turned out to be coy and shy.

And it will probably be very popular.

"Speaking of which, Chabashira-sensei has always been single."

Oreki walked towards Chabashira Sae.

"Ah...um...well."

Chabashira himself was surprised to be spoken to by Oreki. Because when she saw Houtaro Oreki approaching, she actually felt a little nervous.

If you were forced to put on a maid outfit at first, then you would be a little embarrassed to be seen by students in your own class.

Then she was left to play and was helpless, and now she felt a strong sense of tension.

He seems to be worried about being judged by the boy in front of him.

indeed.

Oreki Houtarou was able to see through her intention to take advantage of Horikita Suzune from the beginning, and even taught her lessons in return, which proves that this boy is very mature.

But that wasn't the reason for her panic.

Chabashira thought that he might have been infected by Horikita Suzune's panic.

I also became a little afraid of seeing Oreki Houtarou.

And speaking of Horikita Suzune.

Only then did Chabashira realize that Horikita was no longer in the classroom.

Hello.

It's just Oreki coming over, are you actually going to run away?

"Then, then..."

"How do I take a picture?"

Sakura-san, who was in charge of taking pictures, came over with a camera.

Sakura has a talent for photography.

This has been recognized by a large number of girls.

So she came to take charge of the position of photographer, and was accepted almost as soon as she proposed it.

But now she seems to have entered the state.

Although his tone was still timid, soon, when he picked up the camera, he felt like a new person.

Because this is her area of ​​expertise.

"Don't be nervous." Oreki said to Chabashira. "Although I spent 4,000 points. But I won't do anything excessive."

"..." Chabashira.

"I'm not nervous," Chabashira said quickly. "I just always feel that if I am of my grade and have such a personality, it would be weird to put on such a cute maid outfit."

"I think it's quite cute." Oreki said while standing next to Chabashira and looking at the camera in front of him. "In other words, it's very fresh."

"If I had been born ten years earlier, I might have pursued you." Oreki said.

"Oh." Chabashira nodded.

That's it.

By the way, why can you say such things to her?

Do you know what weird things you are saying?

If it were an innocent girl, she would definitely misunderstand this as a confession.

and.

I always feel like... I feel like I have experienced this wonderful mood before.

"Chabashira-sensei." And cute Sakura now raised her head from the camera, "Can you smile a little?"

"Eh..." Chabashira.

Take photos.

If it was just an ordinary photo shoot, Chabashira would certainly not refuse. Rather, she was actually quite experienced because Hoshinomiya often asked her to take photos.

At that time, she was also told that she couldn’t laugh.

only.

Now.

"Chabashira-sensei, be natural, be natural." Photographer Sakura said.

Forehead.

Chabashira seemed troubled.

Because it was like asking Suzune Horikita, who always had a straight face, to smile.

It's very difficult.

Although Chabashira smiled, he didn't know how wide he should smile, or rather, whether he would become ugly if he smiled too wide.

It always feels like she is paying attention to these messy things now.

"Since this is a photo shoot, I ask Chabashira-sensei to be more serious." But Sakura photographer was not satisfied.

Um.

In her area of ​​expertise, Sakura-san sometimes becomes like this.

Oreki-san has a deep understanding of this because he has been his partner's model.

"It's best to relax," Oreki said. "Still, I have made very harsh demands on you."

"Uh... I'd better smile," Chabashira said.

After all, she was asked to help by the students, and then she was told not to do anything but to stand aside.

But having nothing really come in handy makes her feel useless.

So, she took the initiative and walked to Oreki's side.

This feels a little strange.

Because when he met Oreki at such a close distance last year, the other person was not that tall.

But this year, I feel like the other person has grown taller again.

At the same time, perhaps because of the close proximity, I could actually smell the pleasant and faint smell of green grass. Does it turn out that boys also have body odor?

"Chabashira-sensei?" And Sakura photographer noticed Chabashira's state.

Why is Chabashira-sensei looking a little dazed?

"Um...Sorry." Chabashira said quickly.

Then she began to think back to how Hoshinomiya pretended to be in the past. For example, even though she was in a bad mood, she had to keep smiling. At that time, she said that she could just pretend to be happy by thinking about happy things.

Um.

Think of happy things.

When I was in elementary school, I scored 100 points on the exam.

Forehead.

This doesn't seem happy enough.

So when I was in high school, I moved forward with everyone in the class, but in the end I didn't graduate from Class A...

ah.

Didn't she have any happy things in her past life?

While thinking this, Chabashira suddenly felt his left hand being covered by someone.

The temperature was passed all of a sudden.

It turned out that someone was holding her hand.

"Human beings can learn what warmth is through contact with each other."

"This is very important. If you are nervous or encounter trouble, it is very important to seek help from others." Oreki said.

Eh!

At this moment, Chabashira's eyes seemed to widen instantly.

Because she seemed to have heard similar words at some point...sometime.

And this temperature.

Passed on.

"Very good, do you still need to take pictures?"

And Photographer Sakura has done her job.

"No need to add more," Oreki said. "It seems like too much to ask of Chabashira-sensei."

"Um...no, that..." Chabashira said quickly.

She felt she was not helping the students.

"It's also my lack of thinking," Oreki said. "If you add the item of taking pictures, she will feel pressure even if she stands aside."

"After all, she is not Hoshinomiya-sensei," Oreki said.

!?

At this moment, Hoshinomiya Chie, who was visiting her classmates, suddenly became alert.

She felt like someone was talking bad about her.

"Teacher Hoshinomiya!" Asako looked at her curiously.

"No, no, what were we talking about just now?" Star Palace quickly started serving.

In fact, she suddenly felt that being a maid seemed pretty good. If Chabashira resigned from school and left to pursue his own life, then...should she try to be a maid?

"Then Master, would you like a cup of coffee?"

Seeing that Oreki-san seemed unhappy, Karuizawa said quickly.

"No need." Oreki said. "Let's close the business here today."

"Something's wrong," Oreki said. "And this is a tip."

Saying this, Oreki took out two point cards.

"This is……"

Hasebe, who was in charge of calculations, came over.

Is it because Oreki-san wants them to stop the cultural festival activities?

but.

"Your class will take first place in this cultural festival."

"If we calculate it based on sales volume," Oreki said.

"Why?" Matsushita-san was puzzled.
