"M-M-M-M-Mr. Akagi...!"
Michiru, who had her hand held by Koremitsu, widened her eyes, her mouth half opened as she panicked.
Koremitsu's face too sizzled as he said,
"Don't refuse me now. I did my best to set aside time for this moment, to go around school with you."
Unlike Hikaru, who was used to inviting girls out, Koremitsu himself was rather embarrassed by this situation.
And furthermore, how could he endure this any further if Michiru was to run away in fear?
Feeling anxious, he grabbed Michiru's fingers firmly, and exerted strength on them.
While seated on the chair, Michiru looked up at him, her face beetroot.
"B-bu-bu-bu-but, I-I'm in charge of reception. I-I'm the only one here right now."
"There's still one more supposed to be here, right? Where did she go?"
"She went out with her boyfriend?"
"What? She left everything to you to go dating with her boyfriend?"
"Th-th-th-th-th-th-that's because I don't have any plans. So-sorry...please don't glare at me like this."
Michiru's neck cringed.
"Koremitsu, you cannot be so furious towards a girl. You have to talk to her gently, for you are the prince today."
Hikaru floated above him, cheerfully chiming in advice.
"Yes."
Koremitsu weakened his tone.
Michiru assumed that she would be chided again as she looked up.
"Tch."
Koremitsu clicked his tongue, tapped Michiru on the forehead with a fist, barely touching it...and knocked on it.
"You're too kind-hearted."
Michiru widened her eyes in shock.
Koremitsu diverted his bashful face aside as he held onto Michiru's hand, yelling into the classroom.
"HEY! CAN ANYONE DO THE RECEPTION?"
The remaining students stared at Koremitsu, and upon seeing him grasp Michiru's hand firmly, they were shocked.
Both Michiru and Koremitsu had such red faces.
What exactly happened on the corridor!?
Surely, they had all sorts of imaginations going on in their minds.
And amongst them, a boy timidly raised his hand.
"Erm, if I can."
The plain looking face certain did seem to register in Koremitsu's mind. Was that not the one seated right in the middle of the 3rd row? Koremitsu did also see him staying behind after school to deal with the work.
And so, another boy raised his hand as well.
"Me too."
That boy too was someone he often spotted after school.
Koremitsu inadvertently felt touched.
"Thanks. Then you two are...?"
They worked together, but Koremitsu did not know their names at all. It was only till this point that Koremitsu actually noticed this, and he frowned.
And so, the duo spoke apprehensively,
"I-I'm Yoshida."
"I'm Onodera."
