The Happiness That The Shinigami Gave Me - V3 Chapter 10

Volume 3 Chapter 10

The morning after my encounter with the shinigami, I found myself waking up in exhaustion. This wasn’t the right mood for the opening ceremony. I felt terrible.

The exhaustion felt especially heavy on me as I stood in front of the school building.

How should I try to make things work?

I said all those things to the shinigami, but I was still afraid to approach Suzuno—

That was when I found out that we were in the same class.

I froze in place after seeing the class placements on the notice board.

“Yuuma! We’re in the same class again!”

Motoyama jumped onto me from behind.

“Huh, really? I didn’t notice.”

“So cold! Even though we’ve been friends for years already…”

“Have we?”

“Obviously!”

He forced me to raise my hand. I gotta give it to the guy, he had an amazing mental fortitude.

“Well, knowing you, you only looked at Natsuhara-san’s name on the list, right? Man, you riajuu should go explode.”

“What riajuu? You’re the one between the two of us who actually got a life here dude.”

“Oh, f**k off, you’re the one who got a girlfriend!”

When I entered the classroom while messing around with Motoyama, Suzuno was already sitting on her seat.

Her seat was located two seats diagonally away from me. Her back looked as magnificent as always.

I wonder what came to her mind when she found out we were in the same class? What kind of expression would she show me when she turned around to face me?

I could imagine her awkwardly scowling at me before turning her head away. The thought of her actually doing that hurt my heart a little.

Even though I was the one who purposely avoiding her—

At that moment, Suzuno turned around. Her hair fluttered in the air.

“Good morning.”

She smiled at me. It was a reserved and gentle smile. 

After a beat, I opened my mouth and replied, “Good morning.” After receiving my greetings, Suzuno turned her head back to the front again.

“Ooh…”

Motoyama, who had been watching our interaction, let out a surprised gasp.

“Amazing. That was the first time I’ve ever seen Natsuhara-san smiling.”

“…She always smiles, though…”

Huh? For some reason, I felt sick after hearing his words.

“Sure she does when she’s with you. She never smiles whenever you aren’t around, you know?”

Motoyama wasn’t the only one who was talking about her. The boys around us were also doing it.

“She’s so cute!”

“I thought Natsuhara-san is scary, but she actually isn’t!”

“She was scary, now she isn’t anymore, I think?”

What the hell were those guys talking about? Just a reserved smile from her and you guys were already like this?

I made her laugh more times than I could count.

Besides, this wasn’t even the cutest part of her.

Her sulking expression, her embarrassed expression, her excited expression whenever she talked about sweets… Even when she was angry, she was also cute. You guys just couldn’t understand.
