Escape Galge - Chapter 7.4

Chapter7 The True Heart[Part 4]

That day, student-teacher Akari stood at the teaching platform.
At first, she directed a strangely stern gaze at me.
Rather than a glare, it was more like she was brooding about something.
But as the lesson went on, the shadow dimmed
She gradually grew lively as she waved the teachers pointer.

Thats fine but for some reason, I received a series of concentrated strikes.
I was appointed to solve the problems at every turn.
Whats the matter?

Torida-san.
Y-yes?

As I tidy up my desk after class, Akari calls out to me.

I apologise for appointing you the whole time. Its a paltry harassment on my part. Im convinced thanks to this.
Huh? Ah.

My gaze is fixed on the red notebook thats on the topmost of the things like textbooks that she carries her hands for her return to the staff room.
Within its transparent front cover is a single photograph.
Its the remembrance photograph of her and the teacher she respects.

Hes the teacher I respect, an existence I admire.

Akari appears to have noticed my gaze.

I slot it in my notebook so that Ill see it every day and recall my original resolution.

The gaze she casts upon the photograph is clear.
Could it be

He seems to have moved forward too. Its no good if I forget about whats important and come to a standstill.

Im not able to catch the words she lets out as she hangs her head, but she has a calm expression on.
Hope rises in me as I look at that refreshing smile as though weights were lifted off her.
Akaris eyes have been opened, I think.

Be sure to properly revise the areas you werent able to answer today!

With the countenance of aTeacher, Akari leaves with a light gait.
()

And during break time.

Come here for a moment!
Ehh!?

Without knowing the reason, I was dragged and the place I was brought to is the empty toilet at the practice building.
The kidnapper is Midori.
Being called to the toilet by an upperclassman!?
Wh-what should I do Im going to get strangled!

You are seriously an unpleasant woman! Shrewdly stealing the march!

What is she talking about?
She drives me towards the wall and slams her hand with adon.
Whats this, its kabedon!
My heart didnt throb at all though!

Are you listening!?
Y-Yes!
Sheesh, which part of this girl is good
?

I may not know whats going on, but I frown because I can tell shes speaking ill about me.

I want to face her properly, is it?

Midoris eyebrows are raised but after quietly mumbling something, she exhales as she looks at me.
And then, the stagnant aura Midori had suddenly dissipated
Taking some distance from me, she places her hand on her hips like a model and smiles.

It cant be helped, can it its my loss!He fell for you to the extent of saying something like that after all I, too, remembered that theres something I cannot avert my eyes from.
Erm?

It was the same with Akari, but Midori appears like she has accepted something.

I cant run away[1], huh. I already knew it all. What I must do and also the matter about Aoi. I honestly wanted to slap you though.
!?

Did she say slap?
Eh, I as expected, am I in a pinch!

Lets have tea together next time!Do teach me the move you used to fall Aoi, alright?
May I know what youre talking about?

Midori took her leave with the conversation still misaligned.
I dont quite get it but since we promised to have tea, have we became friends?
As Ive said, whats going on!?
I dont quite understand but I can see that Midori had broken through some fetters.
She might have opened her eyes too.

Breaking out from the toilet, I head towards the classroom, only to be stopped by the goddess Shiori this time.
This, is this some event!?

Youve really done it. So that was done deliberately? Just kidding.
Um?
I was somehow able to feel that what you said before were your true feelings. Thats why I was convinced. Rather, if that was deliberate, even as an enemy Ive to admit its praiseworthy. But you arent the astute type, correct?

Her appearanceas she chuckles while hiding her mouth is elegant and beautiful no matter which angle one looks at her but am I, being laughed at now?

It probably meant that that was our fate. I shall do what I must do. Together with my important people.
Yes!

It was a continuous stream of things I didnt quite get, but theres no doubt that good signs have appeared for Shiori-senpai.
Her pendant appears brighter than it had been when we met previously.
Moreover, Shiori is as beautiful as expected.
Spellbound, I watch as she leaves.

Still, whats going on?
For the capturable characters to call out to meone by one like this
I wonder if Kagurazaka Aoi is responsible for this?

I found the answer after school that day.
