Chapter 80

"Oh!!!"

Amidst deafening shouts, all the boys marched out in perfect unison, as if going into battle.

Emerging from the changing room, they listened to the teacher's instructions. Some waited on the sidelines, some went into the water to play, and some started swimming, but they didn't exchange a single word.

All eyes turned toward the exit of the girls' changing room.

After a long wait, a girl finally came out. As soon as she came out, she felt many eyes on her and then looked towards the boys.

He gave a disdainful snort.

The soft hum seemed to travel from afar, instantly breaking down the psychological defenses of many boys, who shamefully averted their gaze.

But many more warriors remained fearless, their eyes fixed on that direction for not a second.

Soon, the girls who had gradually emerged gathered there and listened to the teacher's instructions.

Those long legs, with their varying skin tones but all appearing as a pure white expanse, were extremely eye-catching.

Ishikawa Hayato leaned back calmly in the chair next to him, staring straight ahead. His gaze was like a scanner, quickly recording the body data of each girl into his database.

However, after a while, he noticed that Kita and Bocchi didn't seem to have come out yet.

Something must have happened to Bocchi again; Kita if Kita can handle it.

At that moment, he sensed something.

A few minutes ago.

The girls changed clothes happily, occasionally glancing at each other's figures playfully.

Kita glanced around, then his expression changed from a natural smile to a forced one.

After quickly changing my clothes...

She was somewhat concerned about Bocchi's condition.

After all, when she worked at the store, she had seen how Bocchi was afraid to interact with people, and she was worried about how she would behave in this situation.

When she got to the changing area for Class Two, she looked around but couldn't see Bocchi anywhere.

Instead, some classmates mistook them for people who had come to see them and ended up chatting with them for quite a while.

After getting rid of her friends, she started searching again, from the corner trash can to under the locker.

But I couldn't find it anywhere.

After the girls finished changing into their swimsuits, they started walking out, leaving the room empty. Kita blinked blankly.

She clearly saw Bocchi come in.

After rummaging around in the locker room for a while...

She opened each of the wardrobes, one by one, which seemed too big to fit even one person.

Finally...

Inside the locker, Bocchi, who was sitting with his legs crossed at the bottom, was startled when he saw the light, but when he realized it was Kita, he raised his hand with a hint of embarrassment on his gloomy face.

"Ah... Good morning, Kita- chan."

Kita didn't complain that Bocchi had made her search for so long; she just stared blankly at the way Bocchi was huddled inside.

"Gotou-san, why are you hiding here?"

Bocchi lowered his gaze, as if recalling some scene, and his face suddenly turned even paler.

"I really can't wear my swimsuit out in public, I'm so embarrassed!"

Although he was saying cute things, the panicked look on Bocchi's face was anything but cute.

"The teacher will be angry, Gotou-san!"

Although Kita felt a little shy, she still had to attend the class. She could hear the roll call outside, and she urged Bocchi to hurry up.

"Ahhh..."

Bocchi immediately thought of being scolded by the teacher and instantly felt like she was doomed. In despair, she frantically pulled out a piece of paper.

But while she hesitated...

"Hey, what does Bocchi want with me?"

Ishikawa Hayato's voice suddenly rang out from beside them.

Kita stared blankly as she looked to the side in the direction of the sound, and saw Ishikawa Hayato standing next to her, shirtless and wearing only swimming trunks.

Her gaze lingered on Ishikawa Hayato's muscular chest for a moment before her mind suddenly registered what he meant.

"Aaaaaah!"

This time, Kita was startled.

She immediately hid in the locker next door, peeking out from the door and calling out in a panic.

"Ishikawa-kun, this is the women's changing room!"

Ishikawa Hayato thought about it seriously for a moment, then tilted his head.

"What's wrong with a pervert going into the women's changing room? And Kita, why were you hiding? Weren't you already wearing your swimsuit?"

Kita's face grew increasingly red, and she called out.

"Because you're here!!"

Ishikawa Hayato was confused by her logic; what did it matter who was here if he was dressed?

He rubbed his head, feeling a headache coming on, and then asked Bocchi, who was sitting in a locker next to him, steaming like a boiling kettle.

"Bocchi, what's wrong? Is the card stuck?"

Bocchi hadn't expected the summoning to actually succeed, but the timing was just too wrong! Why did it have to happen here?!

"Ah ah..." Bocchi finally managed to speak after stammering for a long time.

"Falcon... don't look..."

After she finished speaking, she curled up into a ball and huddled tightly together.

Seeing that the two girls were stubbornly hiding in the locker and wouldn't come out, Ishikawa Hayato sighed, preparing to use his ultimate move to force them out.

The teacher's voice came from the doorway.

"Kita- san, Gotou-san, please come out quickly."

As she shouted, footsteps approached.

The two girls' expressions changed instantly, and they burst out of the locker.

Kita pulled Ishikawa Hayato and shoved him into the locker where he had just hidden, urging him on in a low, urgent voice.

"Ishikawa-kun, hide quickly!"

If a boy is caught going into the girls' changing room, it's not a small matter; his parents could be called in, he could be publicly reprimanded, or he could be expelled.

Bocchi, who also possessed basic common sense, hurriedly pushed Ishikawa Hayato along with him.

Seeing the two of them like this, Ishikawa Hayato smiled and waved his hand.

He then braced himself against the top of the locker and silently flipped over.

A note was left behind.

He had just climbed over the cabinet when the teacher walked over from the side.

Although this school is relatively relaxed, it's not to the point where students can do whatever they want. It's definitely not acceptable for them to just skip classes without saying a word.

"Kita- kun, Gotou-san, why haven't you responded after I've called you so many times?"

The female teacher said angrily.

Kita glanced at the note left by Ishikawa Hayato, then looked at Bocchi, who was on the verge of a breakdown after being scolded by the teacher.

"I'm sorry, teacher, Gotou-san isn't feeling well."

Even without Kita saying it, the teacher noticed Bocchi's situation; that expression was something no human could make. She immediately stopped pursuing the matter.

"Then Kita- kun, go to class. I'll take Gotou-san to the infirmary."

As soon as the teacher finished speaking, Bocchi's expression deteriorated even further.

Kita hurriedly tried to dissuade him.

"Teacher! I'll take Gotou-san instead; she gets nervous around other people."

After the teacher gave her permission and left, the two finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Meanwhile, Kita recalled the note left by Ishikawa Hayato.

"Kita, please, just tell the teacher that Bocchi isn't feeling well, and I'll make it up to you for the missed swimming lesson."

How will you compensate me?

Kita thought Kita and somewhat shyly, while clutching the note even tighter.

"Well then, Gotou-san, let's change our clothes and go to the infirmary."

She turned back and smiled, but upon seeing Bocchi, a strong attraction drew her gaze downwards.

Her gaze lingered on Bocchi's magnificent chest, and the light in her eyes gradually faded.

Then, seeing Bocchi's bewildered expression, she crouched down in the locker and began to withdraw into herself.

"I'm so sorry you're too small. It's something you're born with, and there's nothing I can do about it. It's not my fault. I want to be bigger, Mom..."

"Ki... Kita- chan...!"

This time, Bocchi was so flustered outside the locker that he didn't know how to get Kita out.

74. Peace and tranquility

After emerging from the locker, Kita anxiously searched the locker room for a long time but couldn't find Ishikawa Hayato.

Worried that the guy might be hiding somewhere spying on Kita, Kita reluctantly chose to use towels to cover themselves while they took turns changing clothes.

However, compared to the harmonious interaction between the two, the conversation among the girls on the other side of the pool was less harmonious.

The girls, dressed in swimsuits, sat in the shade waiting to go swimming. While waiting, they glanced at the boys having a great time and whispered among themselves about the latest gossip.

They chatted back and forth, sharing the bits and pieces of information they knew.

"Kita- chan broke up?"

"It seems like Ishikawa is a womanizer."

"The third party is Gotou from Class 2."

"That shady and strange Gotou?"

"Poor Kita -chan."

"Now that you mention it, I noticed when I was changing clothes that Gotou-san has a very large bust."

"Could that be the reason?"

"Boys are all idiots, they actually thought that way."

"That Kita- chan is so pitiful..."

Although he always hoped to make the relationships around him more relaxed and harmonious, Ishikawa Hayato knew very well that fighting was actually human nature.

One's true nature can be restrained or released.

Not everyone can suppress their true nature; there aren't that many gentle people.

Bad things may start out as something mundane, just a small thing.

But the smell of blood will attract sharks. If you fall into a group of sharks, they won't eat you; they'll just keep tearing at you.

He can make those who commit evil without reason weigh their own strength and think about the consequences before acting, but he cannot stop those who believe they are not wrong.
