Chapter 63: Evening Tea Party

“squeak squeak……”

The kettle was not that big, but it made a loud noise. The harsh sound made people feel itchy in their ears.

Yukino stood up immediately, took out a tea bag and brewed black tea.

The temperature difference between day and night in the mountains is greater than in the plains. After dinner, everyone returned to the main hotel.

It’s almost bedtime for the elementary school students, who are all gathering with friends in their dormitories.

After finishing their meal, Hayata and others did not go back to the house directly, but gathered together to drink tea.

“Boom……”

Ye Shan put down the paper cup and said with some emotion:

“They probably got together and chatted like they did on the night of their graduation trip.”

His tone was as if he was recalling the past.

“Will something happen to her?……”

Dango asked Yukino a little worriedly.

Hiratsuka’s calm side face shone slightly in the shade of the trees, and gray-white smoke climbed upwards.

She took a puff of the cigarette and raised her other foot, causing the smoke to sway.

“Um…what are you worried about?”

Hearing Teacher Hiratsuka ask this, Hayama replied:

“A student was excluded by other students……”

“Yes~ It’s so pitiful~”

Miura agreed.

【Could it be Rikka’s thing? Or Tsurumi Rumi? 】

Since he was away in the afternoon, Hayabusa didn’t know what happened.

But according to the plot, it should be Tsurumi Rumi being excluded.

But because Hayata didn’t meet Rumi Tsurumi before, but met Rikka, he thought it might be because of Rikka.

After all, Rikka is a middle school student, so it is normal for her to be ostracized by other students.

“……Yeshan, you are wrong. You don’t understand what the real problem is. Regardless of the fact that she lives alone, the problem now is that she is being maliciously excluded”

“I don’t understand you……”

Ye Shan didn’t understand what the great teacher said.

“I think what Hachiman means is that some people like someone, while some people passively become that person.”

“Well, almost.”

Shunta’s explanation made the teacher nod with satisfaction.

“So, can you tell me what happened this afternoon?”

Shunta looked at Hayama and others, waiting for them to give him answers.

“There was an elementary school girl named Kotori Yurikka who was ostracized by others. in the afternoon……”

Hayama roughly told Hayata what happened.

“It was the girl holding an umbrella we met during orienteering.”

Yukino added

“I see.”

Shunta nodded, understanding the cause and effect of the matter.

Just as he guessed, the girl Hayama and the others found to be excluded was Rikka. She was excluded by other students because she was a chuunibyou.

“So, what do you want to do?”

“……”

Hiratsuka Shizuka’s question caused everyone to fall into silence

“I……”

After a while, Ye Shan opened his mouth, but in the end he didn’t say anything.

“If possible, I want to help her in any way I can.”

In the end, he only squeezed out this sentence

“You can’t do it with your strength, right?”

Hayama’s words were just nice to hear. In the final analysis, they were just nonsense, so Yukino, who was not dealing with him, immediately poured cold water on him.

Under the light of the dark night, she pushed her hair aside and looked at Hayama with her usual cold eyes.

Hayama’s face A trace of bitterness flashed across his face, and he had to admit that Yukino was right.

“……That’s right…but this time it’s different.”

There is something in Hayama’s words, as if he wants to prove something to Yukino.

“Yeah?”

Xueino shrugged, still as cold as ever.

She has seen through Hayama since elementary school, and she doesn’t think he will change this time.

——Just like back then, he couldn’t do anything.

The conversation between the two brought the atmosphere to a freezing point, and it suddenly became cold.

“well……”

In the end, Shizuka Hiratsuka felt a little melancholy, lit another cigarette and started smoking.

She knew something about the two of them.

Harano also graduated from Sobu High School and was also Hiratsuka Shizuka’s student.

When Yukino entered school, Yangno came to her and told her some things about Yukino.

This is one of the reasons why Hiratsuka Shizuka takes care of Yukino like this.

A few minutes later, Shizuka Hiratsuka smoked a cigarette and put out the finished cigarette in the ashtray.

She turned to look at Yukino and asked her calmly:

“Yukinoshita, what about you?”

Xue Na caressed her chin gently, and after thinking for a moment, she spoke.:

“……I want to confirm one thing first”

“What’s up?”

“The teacher said before that this camp is also a camping activity for the service club. So, is the girl’s problem included in the campaign?”

Hiratsuka Shizuka nodded quietly after thinking briefly.:

“Hmm… This volunteer activity to help with camping is part of club activities, so in principle it can be included in the scope.”

“Is this so?……”

Yukino closed her eyes.

The night wind began to weaken, and the rustling leaves became silent, as if they were waiting for Yukino’s answer, as if they were afraid of missing any of her words.

“If she asks for assistance, I will use all means to do my best to resolve it.”

Yukino finally made a judgment, a judgment that was very consistent with her character.

In her opinion, if the person involved doesn’t want to change and doesn’t seek help, then why should others help him?

Shizuka Hiratsuka I felt very satisfied with this answer and nodded vigorously.:

“So, has the other party made a request?”

“……I do not know about this.”

Although they had talked in the afternoon, Rikka did not explicitly put forward the commission.

At this time, Dango gently tugged on Yukino’s clothes.:

“Xiaoxue, could it be that she couldn’t say it even if she wanted to?”

“It is possible.”

Shunta nodded, agreeing with Danzi’s statement.

But then, he changed the subject.:

“But have you ever thought about a question, why is Rikka being ostracized by others?”

“Rikka……”

Yukino looked at Hayata expressionlessly, and the temperature around her seemed to have dropped a lot.

As the love value increases, Yukino seems to become more jealous.
