"Thank you for walking me home." said Leah
"No problem." said Jousuke.
"Do you need anything before I go? Maybe like a water or anything?" Leah asked.
"No, I'm all good." said Jousuke.
They stared at each other for a moment while Leah's blushing with admiration in her eyes.
"Is anything wrong?" Jousuke asked.
Leah was taken aback and she replied "N-no. Sorry!"
"Don't worry about it. I'll be going now." said Josuke.
"Okay, take care." said Leah.
As Jousuke walked away, Leah thought to herself "Daikuhara-san... you really are so handsome." and then she smiled.
-BUNGAKU HIGHSCHOOL, TOKYO, JAPAN-
-2:53PM WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 2016-
While the teacher is teaching, Leah was staring at Jousuke and smiling.
She thought to herself "You really are so handsome although you're just existing, Daikuhara-san!"
"I wonder what he's thinking about right now."
"I hope it's me!"
"If it is me, give me a signal."
"Please look this way! Please look this way!"
In all of a sudden, Leah was shocked as Jousuke looked at her and then he gently smiled. Leah looked away as she hardly blushed.
She thought to herself "What the heck? Is he reading my mind? What kind of technique is that!? He's so fricking handsome! My heart can't handle it!"
"Boutsuki-chan, are you listening?" Daimon asked as everyone looked at Leah.
"Y-yes, Sensei!" Leah replied with nervousness and embarrassment.
"If that's so, will you please answer the question?" Daimon asked.
"Y-yes!" said Leah.
She stared at the board for a while and then she shouted "1974, Sensei!"
"You got it right." said Daimon.
Leah sighed as relief and then suddenly, Daimon said "You're right if we were on the first question. However, we are on the last question, Boutsuki-chan. Pay more attention, okay?"
"Y-yes, Sensei!" said Leah and then she thought to herself "That's so embarrassing! Everyone knows I'm the top student in this room! What will Daikuhara-san think of?" as she was badly embarassed.
She onced again looked at Jousuke and then she saw him staring at her.
She thought to herself "I wanna disappear!"
As time flew, the school bell rang. Daimon approached Jousuke, Rika, and Leah.
"Hey, can you please come with me?" Daimon asked each one of them.
All their respond were "Yes, Sensei."
-MANGA CLUB'S ROOM-
"You all are probably wondering why I brought you here." said Daimon.
"Yes, why though?" Jousuke replied.
"I have an assignment for the three of you." said Daimon.
"What assignment, Sensei?" Rika asked.
"It's actually not that hard. You're just going to create a manga. Since You, Boutsuki-chan and Sakurai-chan, are artists, I'm expecting a really good art from you..."
"Not that hard, you say?" the three of them thought to themselves with disappointment.
"And you, Daikuhara-san, since you're not a member of the manga club, may I ask you to create a story and dialogues?" Daimon asked.
"I'll be working with Daikuhara-san!? My life is good!" Leah thought to herself.
"Story and dialogues, huh..? Sure, Sensei, I can do that." said Jousuke.
"Great, whose house is available?"
"Mine, Sensei! Mine!" Leah said with excitement.
"Okay, chill, Boutsuki-chan. Since I gave you a group project, you can do the manga when the project's finished. There's no due date though, don't worry." said Daimon.
"But what will be the topic, Sensei?" Rika asked.
"Oh, that's a great question. It is... romance! Yes! Romance! Between two smart highschool student." said Daimon.
They're all cringed out as they heard the word "Romance."
"Okay, Sensei." said Rika.
"Also, not just romance, make it a fantasy manga as well." said Daimon.
"Fantasy!? Just like the 'Obscure Academe' novel?" Jousuke and Leah shouted.
"Oh, you know that one!?" they both excitedly asked each other.
"Yeah, especially the 'Kouhei vs Oushirou' scene!" said Jousuke.
"Yes! That one was great! When they fought because of a paper!" said Leah.
"That was epic! Sadly, it's still ongoing. I can't wait to read the ending!" said Jousuke.
"Yeah! Me too!" said Leah.
While the two of them we're talking, Daimon and Rika was confused as they listened.
