I Got Into a Secret Relationship With a Girl Who Was Out of My League
After school, we came to a family restaurant to help Akane and Kyoka with their studies, as promised.
It was the same family restaurant that we had visited with Yagami kun before.
There were many other students from Kitasato High School, where we also attend, sitting at the surrounding tables.
Thinking about that, I realized how careless it was to have eaten here with Yagami kun the other day.
If someone saw us eating together, who knows what kind of interrogation would follow. At the time, I teased him, but if that really happened, it would affect Yagami kun too.
…I have to be more careful from now on.
Thinking about “next time” reminds me of what happened earlier that day.
Compared to what we usually do, it was nothing special. But thinking about it makes my cheeks burn again.
Our secret relationship at school.
I’ve always thought of it that way, but it was the first time we met at school, avoiding people’s eyes.
Someone almost found out about us there.
I’m sure that’s what it was. I was just nervous about it.
I tell myself that.
“Hoshina? Your face is red. What’s wrong?”
“Eh? No, nothing.”
“Really? You look a little flushed…”
“Maybe it’s just a little hot? The air conditioning is working pretty well !”
“Hmm? I think it’s just right…”
“Yeah, me too.”
“Well, anyway. Come on, let’s study ! We don’t have much time, so let’s get to it !”
“Ugh…I’ll try…”
“Go easy on me.”
I managed to cover up what the two of them pointed out.
And I successfully shifted their focus back to studying.
Akane and Kyoka took their textbooks out of their bags and spread them out on the desk.
“Alright. Then, Sensei, please take care of us ! …But before that.”
“Oh, please get me some fries. I can’t get motivated without them.”
“OK. I’m…hungry, so I’ll just order some pasta.”
“That’s unfair ! But then, wouldn’t pizza be better? We can all share it.”
“That’s true !”
Once they were motivated, they used their tablet devices to start ordering dishes one after another.
Perhaps because they were part of the sports club, the two of them ate a considerable amount for girls.
“Come on ! If you order that much, there won’t be any space left on the table !”
“Sorry, sorry ! I’ll stop here.”
“Here, you can eat the fries. Of course, it’s on us.”
“They’re delicious ! For some reason, they taste different from other stores.”
“…Gee.”
I was half exasperated as I picked at the food we ordered and taught the two of them….
The fries were definitely delicious. Maybe I’ll tell Yagami kun about them next time.

“Subaru. Why did you run away at lunch?”
“That’s right ! Did you do something you shouldn’t have ! ! Could it be a girl? It must be ! !”
“Don’t jump to conclusions so quickly, you guys.”
You’re right, though.
Your intuition about girls is abnormal.
“I didn’t run away, I just had something to do. You guys are the ones who jumped to conclusions and chased after me, right?”
“Subaru. How long do you think we’ve been with you?”
“That’s right. You’ve hardly interacted with anyone else besides us, so what business could you possibly have? It’s obviously suspicious ! !”
“No, it’s only been half a year ! Besides, the other person isn’t necessarily a student.”
“Huh? You mean a teacher?”
“Yeah, that’s right. It’s Kuchiki sensei. He asked me to come talk to him about the gym storage room incident from the other day. I went to see him. If you’re so curious, why don’t you ask him yourself?”
“Come on, let’s put that aside.”
“What should we do today?”
These guys…
Kuchiki sensei is both a physical education teacher and a guidance counselor. He has a stern face and is feared by the students.
That’s why they blatantly changed the subject.
In reality, they hadn’t been called in, but they had already prepared a convenient excuse.
“What should we do today…are you planning to play around before the test?”
“You idiot !”
“When it comes to before the test, it’s obviously test studying.”
“That’s right! Lately, you’ve been leaving in a hurry, so I caught you before you could escape.”
“Don’t treat people like rare monsters. I wasn’t escaping.”
It seems they wanted to study for the test together.
We did study together a few times during the first semester.
“So, is that okay?”
“Well…I guess it’s fine.”
Starting today, I don’t have to study with Nanamori anymore, so I guess I’m free.
But…
“Alright. We’ll meet at Subaru’s place !”
“Yeah. We have to do our usual search for porn books.”
“Right ! !”
What are you guys planning to do there?
But…I guess that’s how it goes. When you live alone, you tend to get taken advantage of like this.
Plus, these guys are definitely going to rummage through my room. I don’t have anything like that, so it’s fine, but…wait, do I have condoms? And lately, Nanamori has been hanging out there a lot.
So there’s a high chance that there are traces of her here.
If these guys find them, it could get a little messy.
“Say, why don’t we study somewhere else for a change?”
“Say what? Is there something you don’t want them to find?”
“No, and besides, don’t go rummaging through other people’s houses. You guys come over and just play games or read manga, right? You won’t get any studying done.”
“…You’re right.”
“Hmm. You have a point.”
Last time they came over, they got bored with studying halfway through and just did whatever they wanted.
It’s certain that they’ll do the same thing if they come over here. To be honest, the main reason is that I don’t want the truth about Nanamori to come out.
“This time, there’s a penalty game, so you should study seriously, right?”
I don’t really want to give my enemy an advantage, but I have no choice.
“All right. In that case, let’s do it somewhere else ! I don’t want to do the penalty game either.”
“You’ll regret it. Now your penalty game is certain.”
It seems like they went along with it. It’s annoying that Akihiko is reacting to the enemy’s every move.
“So, where should we go?”
“How about a family restaurant?”
“Yeah, let’s do that. Their fries are delicious.”
We agreed on a plan and decided to have a study session at a family restaurant.
“Welcome !”
“Wow, there are a lot of people here. Actually, aren’t there a lot of Kitasato students here !?”
“Hmm. I guess everyone’s thinking the same thing. They must be here for the delicious fries.”
Even though it wasn’t peak dinner time, the restaurant was more crowded than usual.
As Shinji said, there were a lot of Kitasato students. Regardless of the delicious fries, it seemed certain that they were there to study for tests.
“Hmm, what’s that…”
Those Kitasato students had been glancing at a certain place since earlier.
The object of their gaze was…
“It’s the Nanamori group.”
The three members of the Nanamori group.
They said they were here to study, but…I never expected it to be here.
They don’t seem to have noticed us yet. Well, they probably won’t notice us anyway…I thought to myself.
“Ah, Yagami kun.”
“…”
The seat we were led to was right next to the Nanamori group’s table.
