Why do students keep coming to this place?

I thought that Students were prohibited to enter the rooftop of this school?

Do these two have some kind of special permission?

My plan was to launch the drones and go back to my room but now...

On the rooftop was a girl claiming to be my brother's friend and now, another guy who knows this girl.

[ Tatsuya! ] ( Hanna )

She called out this guy's name and immediately went by his side as if she couldn't wait any longer.

I clearly could tell that this guy had a well build body from the way he was standing.

And different from the other students here, he gave a different aura. He also seems to always be giving everyone a calm smile.

...

He must be the type of guy that pretends to be kind.

Noticing that I was here as well, he looked at the girl beside him.

[ You were with someone? ] ( Tatsuya )

He asked Hanna.

[ Ah, Yes! I was talking with Lily! She is Hatsuko's younger sister! ] ( Tatsuya )

She said about me to that guy.

He crossed his arms together and thought for a bit.

[ Hatsuko's sister? Do you mean that guy who was your childhood friend? ] ( Tatsuya )

[ Yes... ] ( Hanna )

Hanna looked as if she was about to cry when Hatsuko was mentioned as her childhood friend.

She shook her head left and right in a way to forget about it.

Now she looked at that guy, straight into his eyes with loving eyes.

[ ...Anyway, Why were you looking for me? ] ( Hanna )

She asked him.

[ I wanted to know if you were busy after school! ] ( Tatsuya )

He said with a calm smile on his face.

I could see that they were in their own world as they were staring at each other.

[ Yes I'm free! ] ( Hanna )

She happily answered him.

[ Great then! See you after school! Hanna... ] ( Tatsuya )

Then he looked at me as he finished talking.

[ Lily right? ] ( Tatsuya )

He showed a "cool" smile as if trying to show off.

I stared at him while he was waiting for my response. He closed his eyes a bit as he prepared himself to leave.

[ Your name was Tatsuya? ] ( Lily )

I didn't want to bother with their conversation earlier but now I couldn't stay silent anymore.

I wanted to ask him something as well!

[ Yes why? ] ( Tatsuya )

He showed a surprised look when he heard me talking.

It was as if he was expecting me to ignore him.

[ I heard that you were the most powerful student of this school! ] ( Lily )

[ I'm not the most powerful of this school!— ] ( Tatsuya )

He calmly said.

He wasn't?

But I was sure I heard that a student named Tatsuya was the strongest? Even the principal of this school mentioned that to me!

Is this guy a different one?

Maybe they just have the same names...

[ —Now I'm considered the most powerful of this country! ] ( Tatsuya )

He said to me with a smile on his face as he was staring at me!

Is he bragging about his power now?

[ Hehe, stop that Tatsuya! ] ( Hanna )

[ My bad, my bad! ] ( Tatsuya )

Those two entered their own world again...

...

The strongest huh...

[ I also heard that you were in the same group as my brother "that" day! ] ( Lily )

The atmosphere around us became heavy. Even Hanna was worryingly looking at me as if trying to stop me from saying anything unnecessary.

[ You were in charge of protecting other students that day. ] ( Lily )

I said as I was staring at his eyes.

Hanna gripped her own skirt as she was looking at us.

[ Yes that's right! What about it? Are you angry that I couldn't protect your brothe-- ] ( Tatsuya )

[ You did a great job! ] ( Lily )

I lightly clapped my hands once as I said that.

The atmosphere around us didn't change.

But that wasn't the end!

The only thing I showed him was my smile!

But of course, my smile didn't contain any happiness!

Even though I was angry, I didn't want to show it to others.

He looked at me with a surprised face.

Both of them were looking at me as if I didn't know what I was saying.

[ ... ] ( Tatsuya )

[ I'm sure that all of the students are grateful to you as well! ] ( Lily )

He was staring at me suspiciously.

[ It's unfortunate that the only student you couldn't protect was "only" Hatsuko. ] ( Lily )

I noticed his eyebrow twitching a little as I said that.

[ What are you talking about? ] ( Tatsuya )

His eyes didn't bulge from me. He was on his guard.

[ It's a pity that Hatsuko couldn't be saved! ] ( Lily )

I'm sure I hit a hot spot!

[ Huh... ] ( Hanna )

Even that girl was confusedly looking at us.

[ Oh, what's wrong? ] ( Lily )

I asked with a worried *fake* face.

[ ... ] ( Tatsuya )

[ Are you not feeling well? You are sweating a lot! ] ( Lily )

[ Tatsuya?... ] ( Hanna )

Hanna worriedly looked at him.

[ You should lay down a bit if you aren't feeling okay! ] ( Lily )

[ No, I'm fine! I need to go right now!

Hanna contact me after school! ] ( Tatsuya )

He left as he said that.

[ What was wrong with Tatsuya? He never acts like this... ] ( Hanna )

She kept looking at the door where he left off as she said that.

[ Who knows... ] ( Lily )
