The beginning of a new term, just after becoming second-year students.
There are two interesting individuals in our class right now.
The boy’s name is Iizuka Masato.
He’s what you’d call a loner. Even during the time when classmates were eagerly forming groups at the start of the new term, he was the guy who slept alone in the corner without moving. I’ve never spoken to him, so I’m not really sure what he’s thinking.
The girl’s name is Suzumiya Kiyoka.
While she’s not an exceptionally beautiful girl, I think she’s quite cute.
And above all, her breasts are large and make quite assertives even through her uniform.
She’s not the type to stand out, but I have a strong impression of her always chatting cheerfully with the girls around her.
What’s interesting about these two is that they’re apparently childhood friends, and I often hear rumors that they’re dating.
However, from what I can see, rather than dating, it seems more like Iizuka Masato is unilaterally acting like her boyfriend.
Conversely, Suzumiya Kiyoka seems to be dealing with him reluctantly.
When I ask my friends around me how it really is,
『Hey, do you think Iizuka and Suzumiya are really dating?』
「Huh? Who? Iizuka? Ahh, Suzumiya’s boyfriend. Aren’t they dating? They seem close.」
『Is that how it looks…』
「Eh? Is it not like that? I mean, that introvert guy talks a lot to Suzumiya, doesn’t he? And Suzumiya responds to him normally too.」
『Well, that’s true.』
To begin with, the people around me don’t seem to have much interest in these two.
Well, I also just thought (Something seems off) at first, and didn’t have any more interest than that initially.
However, since we’re in the same class, their interactions naturally come into view.
「Oi Kiyoka, we’re going home.」
「Ahh, geez! Sorry! Sa-chan, Kumi-chan, I’m going home now.」
「My, my, how passionate♪」
「Geez! It’s not like that!」
「Well, well, it’s not good to keep your boyfriend waiting, you know?」
「Geez! It’s really not like that!」
「Oi Kiyoka! Are you coming or not!」
Hmm~, what is it?
At the very least, this Iizuka guy seems to have a bad personality.
Usually quiet, but acts all high and mighty only in front of Suzumiya Kiyoka?

If he’s really her boyfriend, it seems like she’ll struggle.
As for Suzumiya, is she perhaps too kind-hearted to leave him alone?
I mean, being childhood friends sounds troublesome.
I feel a bit sorry for Suzumiya.
After that, I continued to casually observe the two of them in the classroom.
Iizuka is still a loner as always.
He doesn’t interact with anyone except Suzumiya, and during break times, he just sits at his desk alone the whole time.
During lunch, he’s not in the classroom, and I’ve never seen him eating with anyone.
In contrast, Suzumiya always seems to be with her female friends.
A close-knit group of three? I see them eating lunch together every day in that kind of arrangement.
What I noticed while observing these two is that Iizuka often looks at Suzumiya. Glancing frequently.
On the other hand, Suzumiya doesn’t pay any attention to Iizuka at all.
When the two of them converse, it’s always Iizuka initiating the conversation. It’s not that Suzumiya never speaks to him, but it’s extremely rare.
From what I’ve seen so far, I think.
The two of them are not lovers.
Iizuka has a one-sided crush on Suzumiya.
Suzumiya doesn’t dislike Iizuka, but doesn’t see him as a romantic interest?
Maybe she can’t be cold to him because they’re childhood friends, or she’s too kind-hearted and lenient?
Reading deeper into it,
Iizuka likes Suzumiya but can’t confess?
Or maybe he’s misunderstanding that their feelings are mutual, and thinks there’s no need to confess?
As for Suzumiya, is she unaware of Iizuka’s feelings?
Or maybe she’s noticed but is ignoring them?
Thinking about it this way, it’s quite interesting to observe the two of them again.
In my mind,
“Uwa, Iizuka is desperately trying to act like a boyfriend, but Suzumiya won’t even make eye contact. Iizuka must have pretty strong mental fortitude.”
“Suzumiya, that level of ignoring is cruel! Even the mentally strong Iizuka must be taking damage from that!”
I observe them while providing such mental commentary.
While I was spending my days like this, not really caring, when we decided on committee assignments during homeroom, Suzumiya and I ended up on the same library committee.
By the way, Iizuka is on the beautification committee.
I really don’t care about Iizuka.
