Asobi Otonari

Excellent Transfer Student

Roughly twenty minutes had passed since I started waiting, Charlotte arrived at the scene when the staff room door opened very loudly.

As my eyes reflexively turned to the door and landed on the sweaty Charlotte, she looked completely different from her beautiful appearance this morning.

His breathing was rough, making him look very tired.

From the looks of it, it is clear that she is looking for Emma with everything she has.

“Emma? Where is Emma !? ”

“Quiet, Charlotte. Your sister's sleeping there."

Unlike the frenzied Charlotte, Miyu-sensei calmly points behind her back where Emma is sleeping.

Emma was very tired, and hence, about five minutes before, she had sat in a chair and entered the land of dreams.

Seeing her sleeping sister, Charlotte knelt down as she fell to the floor.

"Are you okay…?"

He suddenly sat down, so I called out anxiously.

Charlotte, who was summoned by me, looked at me. However, since he was on the floor, he had to look at me with raised eyes.

Perhaps because she was worried about Emma, her eyes were teary and somewhat red.

…To be honest. She's too sweet.

"I'm really sorry .. I'm so relieved that my knees are limp."

"Yes, I understand how you feel. If I go back home and find my sister's missing, I will also be frightened and desperately look for her. And when I finally find it, I will be relieved from the bottom of my heart. "

“You were right.. When I got home and couldn't find it, I felt blood come out of my whole body... Aoyagi-kun, you found it, right? Thank you very much."

Charlotte politely bowed as she expressed her gratitude. He speaks Japanese pretty well. However, his speech was similar to that of a young woman. Who taught him Japanese? I'm curious about how she learned Japanese, but I have other things to worry about right now.

“You remember my name?”

I don't remember ever introducing myself to her.

Well, he must have heard my name because my teacher and classmates called my name a few times, but I don't think he'll remember.

“Ah, it's because you helped me when I was in trouble. Also, Hanazawa-sensei told me to rely on you if I had any problems, so I know your name. As he said, you are truly a reliable person. "

Charlotte suddenly praised me, and I turned my face away. My face may be red, so I don't want her to see it.

By Hanazawa-sensei, what he meant was Miyu-sensei, but I never expected to be introduced to Charlotte like that. Although a little embarrassed, I was honestly happy. It made me think that it might not be too bad to be used by Miyu-sensei every day.

"Aoyagi, it's unusual for you to be confused. Isn't your face bright red? "

… I regret feeling grateful to this person even for a moment.

“Stop being noisy. I'm not confused. "

“Oh ~? Is that ~? Should I send a photo of your face to Aki? ”

“Why are you talking about Aki in this conversation !? Damnit damnit! I forgot about Aki! ”

I was about to contact Aki, but I forgot to do so because of all the ridicule since I entered the staff room. This time was clear, but it was long past the scheduled time.

I gently took my smartphone from Emma's hand so as not to wake her up, and checked to see if there was any notification.

―As expected, notification of several missed calls and messages filled the smartphone screen. Naturally, who was on the other side of all this was Aki.

“You really do it now..”.

“Why are you acting like this has nothing to do with you, Miyu-sensei…? This is half your fault, you know? ”

“...Oi, Aoyagi. I will give you money, so buy a cake and give it to Aki for a while. "

Miyu-sensei admitted that it was her fault as well and gave me a thousand yen. I'm sure this will be enough to recover Aki's bad mood. Of course, the one who was most affected by Aki's mood was none other than Miyu-sensei.

When I tried to leave the staff room after receiving money from Miyu-sensei. Emma who was supposed to sleep grabbed the edge of my clothes. I don't know why she took my clothes.

“Onii-chan, where are you going?”

Although it seemed that she was still half conscious, Emma looked at me with a restless expression.

“Sorry, I have to go. Your brother is here, so it's okay. "

In order for her not to worry, I gave her a smile and turned my gaze towards Charlotte. Emma followed my gaze and looked in the same direction, and after confirming that her sister was standing there, her face brightened.

"Japanese girl brother!"

She happily called her sister and rushed to her side — or so I thought, except, she stubbornly held onto my clothes. Why didn't he let me go…?

"Emmas. He seems to have something important to do, so you have to let him go. Let's go home together. ”

Despite being extremely anxious, Charlotte had a gentle smile on her face. I think it's important to scold her, but from her attitude, I can tell the difference that she's as good as she looks.

"…No!!"

Emma, who is asked to return to Charlotte's side, turns her face away from Charlotte for some reason. This behavior confused Charlotte.

“Emma, what's wrong? Don't you want to go home with your sister? ”

“Emma wants to be with Onii-chan.. I'm going home with Onii-chan..”.

““ ““ “Eh !?” ”” ””

"What's? What's going on?"

Everyone in the staff room was shocked by Emma's sudden statement. Only Miyu-sensei, who did not understand English, tilted her head in confusion.

“Ah... Alright.. Emma wants to be with Aoyagi-kun.

After realizing that Miyu-sensei does not understand English, Charlotte makes an interpretation. I feel better paying attention to your sister than Miyu-sensei.

“I understand.. There is a thing with Aki. Aoyagi, come home with them. "

"Are you serious? There's no way I can do that! "

"Why not?"

“No, it should not need to be explained. Even if I ended up sending him home, he would probably just rampage again there rather than here. "

"Well, I can't say anything about that. Aoyagi's. For now, go back to your own home with the two of them. You will see something interesting. ”

"Huh…?"

What do you mean when you say go home with them? Did you tell me to invite them to my house? No, it's impossible, you know? Charlotte may have some doubts about this.

While wondering what Miyu-sensei was talking about, I tried to confirm with Charlotte, but she seemed convinced for some reason.

Hey, wait a minute.. Am I the only one who doesn't understand what happened…?

“I'm very sorry about this, Aoyagi-kun. If you don't mind, can you come home with us? "

"Are you serious!?"

"Yes please."

Charlotte leaned towards me. What am I supposed to do? I can't follow the situation at all. Even though Miyu-sense is someone who jokes with others, why would she tell me to bring the two of them back with me?

My head is messed up.

For now

"Good…"

Because I was tired of thinking, I decided to go with the flow.
