「I’ll pick you up at four o’clock」

「Thank you…….」

When I peeked forward from the back seat, I saw cool eyes and gaze reflected in the rearview mirror.

The one driving the car is Detective Terashima.

She was one of the detectives who protected me when I was released from that “room”, and she’s been very good to me, but she’s kind of a difficult person to get to know.

Her emotions are thin, and she seems to have no interest in anything.

Today is Tuesday.

The return to the real meaning of everyday life. This is the first time I’ve been to school after twenty days, including the time I was confined.

The past week had passed while I was going through a thorough examination at the hospital and a police interview.

The results of the detailed examination were good.

But if I had to pick one problem, it would be that I had gained some weight.

It was a bit of a shock.

Well, I knew the cause.

That’s what happens when I’m hungry and eat a lot.

The police interview, on the other hand, was quite difficult.

After all, I just said, “I don’t remember anything. When I came to my senses, 13 days had passed”.

Well, I guess it would be more appropriate to say that I had no choice but to say so.

Because whenever I tried to talk about what I remembered, I lost my voice. The same thing happened when I tried to write. That time, I couldn’t move my hands.

In fact, I remember a lot of things, but it’s frustrating that I don’t have a way to communicate them.

I was confined in that room, and someone embraced me a lot.

I was starved, threatened, and in the process, voluntarily do it.

I even remember wearing sexy underwear to try to please him.

But …… I can’t remember any of the important things about him.

However, I remember what the room looked like…….

And during interviewing, the man’s detective tried to get me to talk, but Terashima-san said, “She’s probably in shock. It’s not a good idea to force her to talk now”.

She was also the one who appeased my worried parents when I resumed going to school.

For the time being, she will be the one who takes me to school and pick me up after school. And I had never imagined that the police would be so generous in their care of victims.

That’s why I don’t think I’ll be able to take a detour or go out with Jun-kun for a while, but that can’t be helped. I’ll just have to live with it for a while.

What I was most relieved about was the fact that I would be able to continue my activities as a reader model.

When I contacted the magazine’s editorial department, they vaguely knew about my disappearance and easily scheduled my next photo shoot.

I was really glad that my dream of becoming an actress was not cut off.

Anyway, what was the meaning of those 13 days?

Who was the man who confined me?

The fact that I can’t remember is bothering me.

But that doesn’t mean I don’t have a clue.

That is ”Freesia-san”.

For some reason, she’s the only one I remember vividly.

She was a silver-haired, blue-eyed, perverted maid.

There are not many people who stand out like that.

I remember most of the conversation I had with her. Only the part about the person’s name is missing.

But I couldn’t say her name out loud either.

It would be nice if we happened to meet in the future.

「Misuzu-sama, we have arrived」

I looked up to see that the car had already arrived at the school’s teacher’s parking lot.

For some reason, Terashima-san calls me  “Misuzu-sama” when it’s just the two of us.

「Umm… Terashima-san, can you please stop calling me “Misuzu-sama”? It makes me feel a bit uncomfortable……」

「Don’t worry about it. I just think it’s easier for me to call you」

「Haa~……」

I remembered that I had said the same thing to Freesia-san.

◇ ◇ ◇

During the break before the start of class, I was invaded by Fujiwara-san.

Even now, as soon as she put her bag, decorated with badges, on the desk, she pulled her chair over and clung to my arm.

What is it? Is she some kind of new species of ape that will die if she doesn’t cling to something?

But since it happens every day, I gave up and just looked at her with distance eyes.

She didn’t seem to notice my “troublesome appeal” and shouted in my ear.

「Fu~min! Did you hear that, did you hear that? Misuzu is coming to school today!」

「……Kurosawa-san is coming?」

「Yes, I heard Kitoran and Gori talking about it!」

By “Kitoran” I assume she means Kitora-sensei, the unmotivated aunt in the infirmary. Gori means Gorioka, the homeroom teacher…… I mean, seriously, what is Gorioka’s real name?

My impression about Kurosawa-san coming to school was that it took longer than I thought.

It has been a whole week since I released her.

I’ve been getting reports from Ryoko about her condition, and even if I don’t do anything, Fujiwara-san tells me about her interactions on social media, so I know her well.

「……Phew」

「Oh, you don’t look interested……」

「Actually, I’m not interested. I don’t have any connection with her except that she stepped on me」

「Ahaha… Masaki-chi’s thing is a bit of a misunderstanding, but Misuzu is really a very nice girl. Also, Fu~min. I’m sorry, but can I ask you to eat lunch by yourself today? It’s been a while since I’ve had lunch with Misuzu」

「Sure」

（Rather, it’s a reward）

I was a little excited at the thought of being able to spend a leisurely lunch break by myself for the first time in a long time.

The fact that Kurosawa-san is now back, freeing me from Fujiwara-san, is a welcome miscalculation.

But at the same time, there is something that worries me a little.

Because Teruya-san, who was sitting diagonally in front of me, clicked her tongue as soon as Fujiwara-san mentioned that Kurosawa-san was coming to school, although Fujiwara-san didn’t seem to hear it.

To be honest, I think I need to be careful about Teruya-san.

There’s also the matter of Fujiwara-san, and Tateoka-kun that hasn’t been to school since that day. No, well, that could be my fault, or Lili’s, or Baron Moho’s.

However, if Teruya-san ever gets her hands on my stuff, I’m going to smash her mercilessly.

As I was thinking about this, I felt a stirring in the classroom.

When I turned my attention to the entrance of the classroom, I saw Kurosawa-san there.

She had long, shiny black hair and slightly downcast eyes. The bridge of her nose was as neat as if it had been drawn with a brush.

When I looked at her again, I realized that she was quite a beauty.

「Misuzu!」

「Wow, it’s you, Misuzu-chi! Long time no see!」

Starting with Kasuya-kun, all the cheerful people rushed towards her at once.

It seems that she has been communicating with Fujiwara-san and Kasuya-kun on social media, so everyone knows the general situation.

But she herself doesn’t remember anything and claims that it’s been 13 days since she has been found out.

「Are you sure you don’t want to go, Fujiwara-san?」

「Hmm. I think I should refrain from going, except for Kasuya-chi」

Fujiwara-san replies, still clinging to my arm.

She’s an idiot, but sometimes she has a good mind, so I can’t underestimate her.

After the greetings, Kurosawa-san glanced at me as she moved towards her seat.

「Yahoo, Misuzu」

When Fujiwara-san waved her hand, Kurosawa-san’s eyebrows furrowed.

「Mai…… you wrote in a message that you had a boyfriend, but I never thought it was……」

「Yes, yes, my boyfriend is Fu~min!」

「Ehh…….」

The word “Ehh” was an overly exaggerated.

Well, her reaction natural. Because her memory of me as the person she spent time with in the room is gone.

In other words, her impression of me was from the moment she stepped on me.

The look in her eyes when she looked at me was clearly one of disdain.

「Hey, Mai. He must know about your weakness or something, right?」

「Eh?」

「You’re being threatened, right? If not, why would you go out with this guy? He’s gross, he’s disgusting, and he’s got a twisted personality……」

Then Fujiwara-san smiled and spoke.

「I’m glad. I’m glad that Misuzu thinks so. If Misuzu falls in love with him, I won’t be able to compete with you」

「What!?」

「No, no, no, your idea is ridiculous」

Kurosawa-san was at a loss for words, so I took over and spoke up.

But for some reason, Kurosawa-san was angry at me.

「Don’t you say! I mean, you! What did you really do to Mai? Are you trying to do something nasty to her?」

「Well, rather the opposite……. I guess」

「Yeah, I’ve been trying to get him to go to my house or to a hotel every day, but he’s so hard to get, Ahaha」

「E-ehh……」

The “Ehh” was even more abrasive than before.

Just then, the chime for the start of the school day rang out and Gorioka walked into the classroom.

Kurosawa-san hurriedly walked to her seat, with her cheeks twitching.

◇ ◇ ◇ ◇

As promised, Fujiwara-san is going to have lunch with Kurosawa-san and others, and I’m going to enjoy eating alone on the roof for the first time in a long time.

However, the bento was still made by Fujiwara-san, and the heart mark of the sakura-denbu was still painful today.

「Sometimes I need time to be alone, huh?」

I mutter to myself. It’s good to have no reply once in a while.

The rooftop at this time of year is just right for relaxing.

The sky is blue with almost no clouds. The sunlight is soft and warm.

After I finished my meal, I decided to lie down on the ground and soak up the sun instead of sitting on a bench.

But…

「Umm…… Kijima-senpai」

As I was crumbling the heart mark of the Sakura Denbu with my chopsticks, a shadow of a person appeared above me.

When I look up, I see an unfamiliar girl there.

Looking at the color of the ribbon on her chest, she seems to be a first-year student, but she is quite pretty.

Her mischievous smile gives the impression of a cat.

She has long hair that reaches her back with a rather light chestnut color, and it is carefully braided on either side of her head.

If I were to summarize my first impressions, I would say that she looks like the kind of girl who would turn men on.

As if she had made up her mind, she took a deep breath and opened her mouth.

「I’m Rin Fukuda…….」

「O-okay…….」

「Kijima-senpai! Please go out with me!」

「I’m sorry」

Perhaps I answered too quickly, but she gave me a puzzled look, as if she didn’t understand what I was talking about.

「It…. it’s look like my ears have gone crazy」

「I’m sorry?」

「Senpai, One More」

「Oh, okay…… But I have a girlfriend, so I’m sorry」

「Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhh!?」

I don’t know why, but she was really surprised.

「W-wait, don’t you at least consider it? Don’t you think I’m cute? S-senpai’s girlfriend is Fujiwara-senpai, right? Do you prefer gals like her?」

If she asks me if she’s cute, yes, she’s cute.

Her breasts are so big that I can even see them on her clothes.

But Masaki-chan and Fujiwara-san without makeup are prettier, and Kurosawa-san and Ryoko are more beautiful.

If it’s big breasts, Masaki-chan is the champion, if it’s small breasts, Fujiwara-san is the champion, and if it’s beautiful breasts, Kurosawa-san is the champion.

「It’s like a short obi and long sash」

「What kind of evaluation is that!?」

No, I know what I’m talking about.

Originally, this girl is also at the level of a high mountain for me.

I think the common-sense reaction to a girl of this level confessing her feelings to me would be to say yes without question.

However, with Fujiwara-san at school and Masaki-chan at home, there was no reason to go out with this girl, and my biggest concern at the moment was how to make Kurosawa-san my slave.

No matter what I think, I don’t have the resources to spend on this girl.

（If I really wanted to make her mine, I could just confine her）

In the first place, playing the game of dating or not dating is too pain the ass for me now.

If I want this girl, I’ll confine her.

That kind of devilish thinking is taking root in me.

I’m aware that I’ve fallen for Lili’s schemes, but once I’ve reached this point, there’s no escaping it.

「That’s why I’m sorry」

As I bowed my head, she bit down on her teeth, glared at me, and spoke.

「You! You’ve got to remember that!」

She looked like a bandit who had been repulsed.
