Revelation Of An Ordinary Life

The Frog In The Well That Knows The Height Of The Sky

It was the home stretch, in a way.

These last few months, it would all be ingrained in my mind for as long as I can remember.

"Let's get to the next one. Acting Director Tsukishiro and Ayanokouji Kiyotaka's last meeting during the first year."

As expected.

"He keeps insulting you and you can't do anything about it, it's really funny," Ryuuen stated with an eager look.

I would expect no less from this man.

"Ayanokouji-kun, it seems like you're enjoying the spring break, just like everyone else."

I originally thought that he would speak to me mildly, but as he opened his mouth, sarcasm poured out.

"Do you have business with me, Acting Director Tsukishiro?"

"Oh no, it seems like I am not welcomed."

Tsukishiro obviously knew that, but deliberately spoke a little louder. Although it was not loud enough for a passerby to hear, it was enough to show that it was deliberate.

"It's because chatting with the director would attract unwanted attention. I think that a powerless student like me should lurk in the shadows."

I want to find out what his intention was as soon as possible. At the same time, I was also concerned about the situation with Matsushita-san, who was following me from behind.

It seems that she wasn't completely off the hook.

"Matsushita? What were you doing?" Sato asked her with a puzzled look.

Matsushita had no tension on her face. She must have been prepared for this for quite some time.

"I saw Ayanokouji and I wanted to know why he hid how he was so good at mental arithmetic. He answered the question during the exam, so I was curious. Then, I saw the Acting Director talk to him, so I hid around the corner and wanted to see why he was talking to someone so important," Matsushita explained.

Concise and to the point. The reason for following me was normal, and her hiding was also explained well.

"I see, I see," Sato mumbled.

I had no intention of disagreeing with her in any way. If she wants to continue living that background life, she is free to.

"I'll ask you again, what business do you have with me?"

Although, at this distance, she shouldn't be able to hear the contents of the conversation. But it might still cause her to speculate on this needlessly.

"Regarding what my business is, I'll tell you when I want to. You might find it hard to accept, but please try to endure. Do you mind?"

It's impossible that Tsukishiro actually cared about my feelings.

It's better to say that he deliberately wanted to stall our conversation, as this was a location where crowds came and went.

"I understand. Take your time."

"Okay. Let's start by talking about the weather."

"Dude's got a talent when it comes to pissing people off," Hosen chuckled.

He really does.

"Every single time I see him he's always gotta do some weird power play," Ryuuen stated with a thin smile.
