Two or three things about Sakura no Mori Gakuen

In the last interview before the test, Mr. Kushina put the final grade report in front of Miri.There were only two people sitting facing each other in the empty classroom.The table pushed together shortens the distance between the two.Because she put her hands on her thighs nervously and straightly, Misato couldn't help feeling uneasy when she saw Kushina-sensei's slightly dignified expression.

"I don't want to talk about big issues." Teacher Kuiming said first, "In terms of grades, judge A', 'possibility 90%'. In a word, if you continue to maintain it, you will definitely be admitted to the university of your choice."

Misato breathed a sigh of relief at the end of the topic, "Is that so..."

Kushina teacher spoke again before her voice fell, "To be honest, the teacher actually wants to take this opportunity to talk to you about something else."

"Others?" Misato was taken aback, and looked back at Kushina teacher in a daze.

"Although I'm sorry to say that, I should pay more attention to your career path..."

"It's nothing, please tell the teacher if you have anything."

Teacher Kushina nodded and leaned back in the chair, "It's still about... the child, Zhou Fang."

Misato lowered her eyes, quietly waiting for Kushina-sensei's next words.

"Do you still remember the volunteer form for this semester? Zhou Fang wrote that he was willing to go to school. To be honest, I didn't mention how excited I was when I saw it." Teacher Kuan Ming folded his arms, "You know, he has been a student since junior high school. A well-known problem child. Fighting, disobedient to discipline, and a complete attitude of 'it doesn't matter from now on'. When I met him in the first year of high school, I was thinking about what the future of this child will be like. "

"Student Zhou Fang... he is indeed a person with very strange behavior." Misato couldn't help recalling the scene when she first met him.At that time, I also felt puzzled and rejected Zhou Fangzun who was behaving strangely.

"Yeah." Kushina-sensei propped his forehead with one hand, with a few strands of hair hanging on the back of his hand, "Thinking 'try to help him no matter what', with some self-righteous thoughts, so I deliberately helped him when I was in the second grade of high school. Ask Zhou Fang to be assigned to the class I am in charge of. Sometimes I also wonder if I will do too much and be too deliberate, which will cause negative effects instead.”

Miri didn't answer.

"But luckily, you happened to be sitting in front of him." Kushina-sensei looked at Misato with a smile when he said this.She put her arms on the desk and moved closer, "When similar people meet together, there will be more common topics."

"Ah..." Misato glanced awkwardly at all the teachers, then quickly lowered her head.

"I heard your former head teacher mention you." Paused, "Weird clothes and weird behavior. You don't communicate with the students in the class at all. You are almost a ghost student. The more you want to hide yourself in the corner, the worse you will be." To attract attention. At least in this respect, you and he are exactly the same."

"Is it."

"You probably don't know. He once came to me and asked me how difficult it was to get into City University." Teacher Kuima set up Misato's report card, "I'll take your report to Let him see, tell him that as long as he can reach this level, there is no problem at all in being admitted to City University."

After putting away the report card, she continued, "Then he asked me what kind of place the university was, and what kind of people were there. He was silent for a long time after listening to my description. I haven't come up with an answer, but I'm sure that he must have been making choices in his heart for a long time. Perhaps...he has gradually looked forward to a bright future."

"Student Zhou Fang, he actually..." Misato started talking well, but didn't know how to continue.

"I care about you very much." Kushina quickly answered.After seeing Misato startled with some horror, he explained, "It's like he really cares about Shi Shu. You are all important people to him."

"Yes. The only one in the school who has a good relationship with him is Shishu."

"Although I don't know what he's going through, Zhou Fang is a person who values ​​his companions very much." Kushina teacher glanced at the wall clock on the wall, clasped his hands together, "For him, you still have ten years left." They are all objects that they want to protect very much. So, when graduation is approaching, can you agree to a request from the teacher."

"A request?" Misato pursed her lips, "What request?"

"After graduation, please still be by his side. Please replace the teacher and continue to look at him with warm eyes."

=====

The cram school ended three days ago.Therefore, Misato can walk to the station with Zhou Fangzun after school.Although stuck in the end of winter, the weather is still cold.The exhaled breath was white haha, and the nostrils were filled with biting cold wind.Misato shrank her neck and walked side by side with Zhou Fangzun, chatting about what Mr. Kushina said during the day.

"Did the old woman really say that?"

"Yeah. Kushina-sensei really cares about you."

"Who wants her to watch gently. It's a completely troublesome existence." Zhou Fangzun clicked his tongue irritably, and seemed to have seen the hopeful expression of Teacher Kuina when he said this sentence.

Misato grinned, thinking to herself, "The troublesome existence is obviously you."

When they arrived at the intersection where they were supposed to part ways, Zhou Fangzun had no intention of leaving after the traffic lights changed.Misato looked at him suspiciously, seeing him fiddling with the scarf a little awkwardly, and turning his face to another direction, "Well... I'll walk with you for a while. I'll take you to the station."

Although she found it strange, Misato didn't ask any further questions, but just said "hmm".Looking at the roaring locomotive, she took a deep breath before saying, "After graduation, there will be fewer chances to walk this distance together."

"perhaps."

Walking through the zebra crossing all the way, Zhou Fangzun was silent for a while before speaking, "That...university...still doesn't take the exam."

"Huh?" Miri paused.

"After thinking about it, it's not a suitable place for me to stay." His tone was a bit self-deprecating, "If I want to sit in a big classroom and take notes, or write some theoretical reports, I would rather go to the office building of scepter4 Sit all afternoon."

"Oh..." I was a little disappointed, but it was also expected, "That's right. It really doesn't seem appropriate for the leader of the barbarian to be trapped in a place like a university."

"Sorry..." His voice was inaudible.

"Apology...you actually apologized?" exaggeratedly shouted, "What is there to apologize for...hehe...by then I will learn far more than you, sorority, outdoor training, I will go to participate , don't be envious!"

Sensing something strange, Zhou Fangzun quietly lowered his eyes, looking at Misato who deliberately turned her head to avoid him.

"But it's really nothing. It's my goal to get into City University. I'm getting closer to my goal now, so I should be happy." Misato said in a high-pitched voice, "And you...do well after graduation. Your leader is still a king. Oh yes, when I go to drink when I become an adult, remember to ask Kusanagi to make it cheaper for me."

He raised his hand and pretended to rub his itchy eyes.The corners of the mouth curled up visibly trembling.

"It's so cold, my nose is so cold... Hehe..."

Zhou Fangzun wrapped Misato's hand that was red with cold, held it, and forcibly pulled her towards him.She was still trying in vain to cover the red eye sockets with the other one, but she finally lowered her hands because she could no longer cover them.

"I know I shouldn't have expected it..." She smiled, "I clearly know the situation of your character... I shouldn't have expected it in the first place."

"Sorry..." he said again.

"It's not worth saying sorry." His cheeks were cold, "Because you didn't do anything wrong at all. There is nothing wrong with your choice... It's that I shouldn't fantasize about anything... I just... thought..."

With one hand tugging at the other party's sweater cuff, his body couldn't help shaking.

"I just thought...we could go to college together...we could continue to be classmates...we could see each other every day..." She took a deep breath, "It really was me...so naive...sorry ...It's me...Because I can't do what Kushina-sensei asked me to do..."

I keep telling myself that I can't expect it, and there is a steady stream of hope.The result was that the emotion she entrusted was emptied, and she seemed to be eaten away by frustration, and all her emotions were condensed.

I'm completely out of luck.

The person opposite had no choice but to put warm palms on her cheeks, and wipe away the wet tears on her face with his thumbs.

"But we can continue to meet each other." He fiddled with Misato's somewhat disheveled bangs, "Even if they go on different paths, it doesn't mean the end."

"real……?"

"Yeah." There was a little more smile, "If you are not here, the old woman will come to harass me every day. Between you and her, I still prefer you."

Misato was amused by his words, but deliberately pretended to be angry and took a step back, "I will tell her the exact words."

"It's not a 'gentle look'..."

Misato sniffed her nose, "I'm finally relieved."

"what……?"

"I don't know." She answered simply and neatly, "I just feel that I have let go of some burden in my heart. There is a feeling of 'even if I encounter anything again, I am not afraid of anything'."

"What does that feel like..." Zhou Fangzun obviously couldn't understand her description.

Misato turned around, tilted her head and looked at Zhou Fangzun, "'I feel very happy'. That's what it means."
