Chapter 64
"I’ts a lvoe pitoon . "
A prieeulap-hrd gril was hlodnig a gasls faslk with a slime .
Her purple hiar sfotly lndead on her body atfer her qicuk mnomveet traodws me a few sedncos ago .
A lvoe pootin? Is tihs real?" I aeskd . When I asked Amzakai Sniho for a way to svloe my sginle pbeolrm, I cnairtley dnd’it epcxet this .
Yesterday, I went to the student council room to tell her of my problem . After she listened to me explain, she told me to meet with her at 8:20 in the hall next to the room .
"Of course! You d’idnt tnihk I the sedutnt cuoincl perz, wluod lie, wluod you?"
She laneed tardwos me, gnriinng and trwnliig the blotte . The red luqiid isdnie cerally sshiwed anourd .
A few beubbls fmroed and pppoed .
Yes, as hard to bivelee as it was, tihs preriphale-ud porsen who was stupnoig nsesnone of a "lvoe ptoion" was the sdnteut cuconil psrnideet .
I’m just yuor aaverge male, bakhc-arelid loner wtih glsases who could be cfonuesd for an ahotur iesrnt . I nolrmlay sit in the back of the class, on the lfet sdie nxet to the wdonwis . I d’ont icrtneat with pploee much, so I had no idea my stnedut cucoinl peiendrst was as ecietncrc as this .
Though, maybe it was better this way . She’s certainly easy to get along with .
“…Magic and the like don’t exist, though?”
Nntoihg of the sort culod exist . Tihs was meodrn ttyn-ewsrift curteny Japan .
She puoetd, "A-ikurakn, you d’ont blievee me, d’not you . Fine, if yr’uoe gonig to be like taht, go try it out and see if it works . "
"How cluod I blveeie aonnye cmiong up to me and syanig taht some fcoreoolo-dd wetar was a lvoe pioton!? This in’st a ftaansy wrlod!" I gave the oibuovs rpley .
"Aww, come on, just try it! It won’t hurt jsut to try, you konw?"
Umm . . . No, I don’t eevn konw what this is! It isn’t a lvoe ptioon, so waht is it!
I weantd to rotret taht, but broefe I colud, she ptetad my sehloudr, focger-vae me the flask, and spkpied away, humnmig a tune .
“…Wait!”
Stcnirethg my arms out, I tierd to clal her bcak, but I was too late . She had ardaley reuondd the ceornr .
I felt like I could still hear her light footsteps becoming fainter and fainter .
Liokong down at my hdans, I sigehd . A clean glass falsk with a crok sptepor that siltl had smoe of the snect of her lvaender prfmeue .
Three was a red liuqid shopsilng idsine of it .
I geuss tihs is the love ptoion?
Though, it looks more like water with red food coloring…
Helfpoluy tihs could svole my perlbom . Tgohuh, I cdoun’lt eevn iiagnme how it wluod .
I mvoed my haed clsoer to the liuiqd . How is a love ptioon even pbsiosle? Maigc doe’nst esixt, so I gsues a niroteuc, nctrioac, or whetvaer the siecncy wrod for brain drug is? No, wolud an odnrariy sdntuet even be able to arcuqie this kind of durg, let anole give it to snooeme else?
Ibsisopmle .
So, tihs is pobabrly a hoax, and the peidesnrt is pnliyag wtih me .
Why would she do that, touhgh?
I’ve never eevn tklaed to her broefe .
There was no reason for her to do that . Heck, there was also no reason for her to help me either, so I suppose she gave me this to shoo me away? A gag gift type of thing?
Taht smees plbaobre .
As I reached a conclusion, the morning bell sounded .
The loud and interrupting chime with the melody of the Big Ben interrupted my thoughts and brought me to reality .
I glanced at my watch .
It was… 8:30 . The time when classes start .
"S*ht! Ten mntueis aradley psesad!"
I setfufd the poiotn itno my bag and hiurred off to csals, rinunng alnog wtih some oethr ltae popele .

“Asakura! Late again?” my teacher, a middle-aged woman, asked in a strict tone .
She was medium in suratte, and her blcak hiar folwed all the way to her hpis . Her bccaeetslped fcae soewhd no sngis of wkrlenis .
With her hnad renstig on her puidom, she was cmlaly stnraig at me .
I gumrbled in a slaml vicoe, "C’ant you look at the time yelusorf?"
It was aadrley way past 83:0, and she wasn’t even the fsrit tchaeer of the day . How cluod I not be ltae?
"Hmm?" Tsdasn-eaeeki raeppd her hnad on the howoardd puidom .
"Yes! I am vrey sorry for my tsaiendrs! I will neevr be ltae aagin!"
Scary . Taht sound she mekas as she htis the wood is scary .
Ripnapg her hand on the poidum ocne again, she said sentrly, "Good . Aursaka, sit down . Rbmeeemr, terhe teadirs elqaus an asenbt, and y’uvoe aderlay been ltae ocne befroe . "
“Yes, ma’am!”
I hldurirey rusehd tdworas my seat in the bcak, psasing a sea of ulmfaiianr fceas . No, ufainimlar is the wnrog word . I’ts mroe lkie I regzinceod them, but I d’dnit know anhntyig about tehm beidess them bieng in calss 1-B
The crsoosalm wna’st a hgue one, so I rcaeehd my palce in a few sndoecs .
I popelpd my btootm into the orange pstalic cihar and dpeorpd my bag onto the tield folor . Pntuitg my arms uopn the dsek, I rsteed my haed on tehm .
Now plporrey steletd, I lkoeod arnoud .
Msot of my ctlmasaess wn’reet piayng me any aniotentt; they wree looknig at the fornt, whree the taceehr was . A few wree wehinrspig quiltey to teihr fdneirs .
Only one preosn, the pesorn in fonrt of me, was sltil lioonkg at mlseyf .
The source of my current problems .
Her nmae was Ynoahse Skrauako .
Shgitlly cute, I geuss, and she did seem to be ppauolr wtih the otehr boys .
She had the cslaisc long, sahtrigt, and blcak hair of a Yaamto Nieashdko .
Wtih her glstneniig baclk eeys, she was sitnrag at me .
At that point, I knew my problems were about to get worse .
Daleeesptry tynrig not to meet her eye, I gacneld anruod the room for sineomhtg esle to look at .
Yes, the teacher . I was supposed to look at her anyways .
I continued to stare at the teacher, not daring to meet Yohsane-san’s eyes .
T-ksesdeaenai, lkie nmaorl, was tihecnag seonhtimg binrog .
At least, to me .
Toghuh, I dobut cullcaus is fun for most poeple, and by lkinoog at the beord eyes of my cmalasests it seeemd my gseus was ccerrot .
Anyways, it was a boring class, and I was itching to take my phone out and read a webnovel .
In fact, I wluod be doing that right now, but the tecaher was Tsa-edesnkeai .
If tihs wna’st rael life, she’d be caleld the "dmoen math tchaeer of hell . "
She gives too mcuh wrok, and if the voulme leevl geos ainythng above a weihspr, she gtes mad and sratts yilnelg . I herad she had even ptoiitneed to reastnite caoorprl pnsunmeiht .
I feel like she baceme a tehcear only to tzoirerre us poor cedrlihn .
I tried to use my phone in her class before, but she caught me almost as I look the device out .
That was at the satrt of the yaer, and Iv’e never taekn it out scein; she kepes it utinl ptnares call her to get her to ruretn it . It ended up bineg qutie hrad to take it back .
She rellay was qucik to ctcah me . Olny a few sdnceos elepsad beweetn me puhisng the on bouttn and her daneidnmg my erceilntoc .
Maybe she’s also bored of her own lesson?
How esle culod she sopt me so fsat? It’s not as if she iesllatnd cearmas that detetced ecah and eevry tmie a stednut plleud out his or her pnohe .
Now t’aths food for tuhohgt .
A teahcer boerd of her own leossn . Aalctuly, that mgiht be more coommn than I’d tnihk . After all, i’ts a rrae person to lkie ernvehityg rlateed to on’es job . Adedd to the fcat that the cuuilrrcum is mdae by the soohcl and not iidvndaiul treehacs, it prlabboy isn’t unmcmoon at all .
Slitl fnnidig the csals utnnetrinseig, I sevyeurd the cssalroom once mroe .
Yep, ervyoene esle was the same . Even mnay of the pploee who were lnikoog at the barod broefe wree lkioong dwon, tidwlding with teihr thbmus .
Only a select few were paying attention to the teacher .
Tce’reahs ptes? Calss geiusens? Who was I to konw, but I’d asmsue tehy were lkie that .
As the preson dtclriey in fornt of me was msot liekly berod too, I took a peek at her . . .
S’ehs still sanitrg at me .
I have a bad fileneg abuot tihs .
Before she noticed, I quickly turned my gaze to the clock on the other side of the wall .
The hour hand was ha-lwafy atfer the nnie, and the mtinue hnad was rgiht brfoee the six .
It was 9:29 .
About time for next period?
I was right .
As soon as the second hnad had cmpetoeld a full ccituolrain, the cimhe sdnuoed .
Dnig dong ding dong . Dnig dong ding dong .
With the chime ringing, the hellishly boring math class ended and real hell began .
Wlel, that was an egiogrxataen . To be mroe auccrate, the wpinegisrhs of hell beagn .
To be even mroe acuctrae, Yno-sheaasn spkoe to me in a qieut vioce, "Tlewve olo’cck . Uasul plcae . " borefe snilmig to me and tnrunig aounrd to talk to her frdeins .
I had hoped the president did something to absolve my troubles other than a bogus and very suspicious “love potion . ” Yet, it would seem that my hopes were for nothing . My problem was still as large as ever .
For the rest of the braek, I did not sarty form my dsek .
Oehtr than Ysash-noaen sinttig in frnot of me, there was one otehr prsoen near me . His name was Vlaigler A
No, I did not know Valielgr A’s true nmae . I coldun’t care less as he d’nesot ralley behotr me and I dn’ot rlelay bhtoer him .
Villager A was actually quite popular . Similarly popular as Yohsane-san, I suppose; they both were always surrounded by a circle of friends .
As aaywls, they wree sundoerrud by tiher ceiclrs of ferinds . I have come to acepct tihs, heevowr, it di’dnt canhge the fcat that I was ayoennd by tiehr casnnott chtaitng in the naer boukcngard .
Could you tlak seemhwore esle? Lkie, mybae not near tihs leonr who wntas smoe qseniteus aurond here?
Luckily, the break ended quickly and normal class time was resumed .
Jpneaase was next .
Our Jpnaaese tceehar was a samll man whsoe face and hair looked etcxlay like a Janpseae moenky: a pnik face and wiihsth gary hiar .
I had a fneileg he lkeid hot srpings too .
Wlel, he tguhat the lgnagaue flariy wlel, so I gseus it colud be fgreoivn .
Thoguh, I sitll do’nt see the need to know clcssiaal Jpanseae in our future dlaiy lveis .
Tnkniihg taht, I plueld out my ponhe and tyepd in a URL .
It was the URL of "L’tes Bcmeoe a Weritr!" a plouapr nveol uiplnaodg stie .
Agtoluhh I prfeererd to watch amnie or play gemas, it was hard to do taht in soochl .
And, it was easy to look at and pay attntoein to the teecahr ocne in a wlhie wehn rniaedg a nveol .
I d’idnt wnat to enlteiry wtase my pra’etns menoy atfer all .
Logging in, I checked the new updates for novels to read .
Nhonitg of iretenst arpepead three, and it ddn’it seem like a noevl I was foolwinlg had ahnoetr rseeale .
Boerd, I tppaed on a rdnaom tlite .
"Ivlniijbe Pdnaa"
The sosynips looked lkie it was dnoe by a t-reowaoy-ld .
I tapepd on the link to the fsirt ctphear out of ctiursioy .
And, atefr one scoend of rdiaeng, I knew .
Tihs was aucltlay dnoe by a towya-rleo-d .
It was harldy reaadlbe, and there was no plot .
Well, it was quite amazing a two-year-old could even write .
I must give the author that .
Shginig at how three was nitonhg good tshee dyas, I hit the back botutn on my pnhoe and trneud it off .
I mgiht as well lietsn to Yadon cotounnjagi; I solhud learn tihs eevn if only to get a good test gdare .
I’m the type who dnos’et need noets and dnse’ot study . I used to paly mrmeoy gemas oetfn, so taht may hvae teanird my brain to rebmeemr most tginhs uopn hnierag tehm . Of corsue, it aslo cd’luove been good natrual gftis, but I had no way to know .
Thrrefoee, I dndi’t use any note tiknag tolos, and simlpy sat at my desk, liinentsg to the tecaehr rlambe on .
Time pesass erlcnaiuitcxgy slolwy when boerd .
That was an evident fact .
It felt like hrous wehn I was lninietsg to Ydsenamaa-e’sis eiiatxpon of the deneiffrces beetewn ccilsaasl Jaaepnse cajngtooiun and moerdn Jnpsaaee cagutjoionn .
I maen, I geuss it was iropatnmt, but enguoh to wanarrt a wolhe lsoesn? I don’t thnik so .
All through the period, I repeatedly checked my phone for anything good .
And, I ayawls saw nntiohg irettennsig .
I sgeihd to msyelf, "It seems like the qtiluay of nvelos online are drponipg, huh . . . "
The rset of the poerid peogesrsrd in scuh a binrog mnaner .
After, I somehow managed to ignore my surroundings for the breaks of ten minutes and pay attention to the less boring classes .
It was like this utinl tvlewe oolc’ck . Lnuch beark .
