Finally UCSP is done.

My group- Group 4 received a high marks but it was still second to Eli-chan's group.

The next teacher will be coming so there's no available time to talk to Eli-chan at this point.

I rather take this chance to pee. I don't want to hold it in until the session ends again.

So I went to the male's restroom with Jeremy.

After we were done with our business, we met Mary with our other classmates on our way back to our room.

It looks like they went to the canteen because they're still currently eating an egg burger.

"Yahho~ Mark~kun~ and Jeremy~kun~."

"Hello to you ladies."

""Hi Reverren.""

"You are all courageous to go to the canteen despite only having a very short time."

"It's fine Mark-kun~ It's the last subject anyway."

"Oh is that so? But it's precisely why, Mary. Teachers are pretty tired at this point thusly irritable."

"It's alright. I'm cute anyway hehehe~"

"Fufufufu. Very well."

"Ah right. Mark-kun, I forgot to give this back to you."

"Hmmm.?"

Mary pulled a black handkerchief from the pocket of her skirt and passes it on to me.

I took it and glanced on it for a second before shoving it into my pocket.

I already know whose is this.

"Eli-chan dropped it yesterday morning. I just washed it clean before giving it back to you."

"Heh. Really?"

I stared into her eyes while squinting it hinting my suspicion.

"O-Of course."

Mary averted her eyes from me.

"You little liar. But very well."

"Ah! Teacher is here! Let's go back."

She then pointed somewhere and immediately walked towards our classroom pulling the hands of the other girls.

"Wait Mary. Don't pull me."

One of the girls with her complained.

"Let's go as well Jeremy."

"Alright."

.....Mary said Eli-chan dropped it. But I don't think so.

Because I know this handkerchief is deeply valued by Eli-chan.

I gave it to her while it was soaked with my blood. I told her to throw it away but she kept it.

Then I later found out that she put deep importance to this handkerchief.

There's no way she'll make a mistake of dropping this by accident.

Besides, even if she did, I'm pretty sure she'll be frantically looking for this by now.

Therefore, I could only assume that she threw this away herself.

And that's not a very good sign.

Does she really hate me now?

She might even break up with me. But the fact that she didn't shows that perhaps she still cares about our relationship and doesn't want it to end.

Fuu~

I really need to solve this quickly.

Or she might suddenly come into an abrupt decision of one-sidedly breaking up with me.

Oh.

We're finally done for today's class.

I turned my focus behind me- to Eli-chan. I can feel that she's still just packing her things.

Our teacher left.

I can hear Eli-chan footsteps seemingly planning to leave the room.

I immediately stood up to follow her but Mae-chan is in front of me.

Ohh. I didn't noticed her.

"Mark-kun. Is there a problem?"

"There's no problem Mae-chan. But that aside, is there anything I can help you with?"

I noticed that Eli-chan stopped for a second then glare at this side. She jerkily turned her head away and continued walking.

"Yes."

"What is it?"

"I need help about Al."

Oh hell. Eli-chan is moving away from my range of detection!

"Wait. Can we talk about this tomorrow?"

Mae-chan looked at me then nodded softly.

"I'm sorry. That was really inconsiderate of me. Well forget it."

She looked rather gloomy when she turned around to leave. She probably misunderstood.

And Eli-chan is gone as well.

So I grabbed Mae-chan's forearm preventing her from leaving.

"Wait. Don't misunderstood. Eli-chan just forgot something. And I wanted to give it back to her."

"I see. Speaking of her, won't you two go home with us again today?"

"I think so. Eli-chan apparently have something to do at the SSG office."

"I haven't heard anything about that."

"Is there a meeting we weren't informed, Mark-kun?"

Rose and Mary came to us while carrying their backpack with them. Jeremy is behind them.

"I don't know. Eli-chan didn't say anything about it. But you guys should leave first. Let me just talk with Mae-chan first."

"You won't be going home with us again today Mark-kun?"

"Well I apologize Mary but I don't think so."

"Humph. Like your presence matter. Let's go Mary. Hey Mae, we'll wait for you outside!"

Mary and Rose left. And Jeremy after finding out that I'm not coming with them, left immediately.

I beckoned Mae-chan to sit.

"Well then, what help do you need from me Mae-chan? And don't refuse to accept my goodwill. I told you I'll help."

"Uh. But, I still feel like it's wro-"

"Just say it Mae-chan."

"Alright then. Can you please make Al to agree to go out with me this Sunday?"

"Why not Saturday?"

"Actually, I tried but he refused. Saying he'll hang out with you that time."

"I know nothing about this."

Mae-chan looked upset by that, albeit it's not that visible.

"Wait. He actually invited me yesterday but I refused. So he probably plans to invite me again to come with him this Saturday. I wonder what he got for me this time fufufufu."

"........"

That doesn't seem to have lighten up her mood though.

"No worries Mae-chan. Leave it to me. I'll convince him to- Hmm..?"

I turned to the front door because I noticed Eli-chan's presence.

Why did she come back?

Eli-chan walked closer to us.

"Oh hello Eli-chan, did you finally change your min- Eh? Wait. Stop. Don't pull my hand like that. Agh! I squeezed my stomach."

She pulled me roughly and I squeezed my stomach onto the arm chair of my seat.

*Thud!*

Because she pulled me roughly, I hit my seat and it fell onto the ground catching the attention of everyone.

All eyes on us.

"Eli-chan. They're looking strangely at us you know. No wait. They're ridiculing me."

My classmates especially the boys are chuckling at my misery.

"Anyway Mae-chan, I'll convince him and the rest is up to you."

Eli-chan doesn't care so I just said last words to Mae-chan.

And I got pulled just like that towards the front door.

We passed by Rose who's looking at me strangely and Mary who's smiling wryly.

I waved at them with a giggle...

"When do you plan to let go of me Eli-chan?"

We're now pretty far from our classroom. We are currently at a desolate place.

Well, most students are in junior high and are still studying. Their session ends by 1700. So there would be nobody around this area.

"Eli-chan, do you plan to leave the campus with us being like this?"

She stopped and freed my hands.

"........"

"........"

And we both remained motionless.

Suddenly, she agilely ran to the side towards a building.

Oh hell. She ascended up on the building through the window.

She uses the sill and the head of the window frame as a foothold and something to pull herself up.

Of course, I won't let her go just like that. I will talk to her this time. So I did the same thing she did and climbed up.

"!!"

Ah.

A student who is dozing off saw me through the glass window and was astonished that a person is outside the building 2 to 3 meters above the ground.

I didn't linger around so nobody else saw me other than him.

Fufufufufu.

This is actually quite fun.

We kept climbing up like this and we're now at the fourth floor. There's no stopping until we reach the top floor.

She sped up and so I did as well.

Both of us grabbed the rails on the rooftop and pulled ourselves up. Now, we're finally on the top of this building.

But she doesn't seem to plan of stopping here. She immediately sprinted towards the other side like as if planning to jump over the guardrails.

Oh hell. We're on 6th floor you know. You'll get hurt.

So I sprinted forward as well then dived with a turning motion and hugged Eli-chan's body tightly.

*Clank!*

"Ughn.."

My back crashed on the metal railings and it hurts. But the one who groaned is Eli-chan perhaps because of the pain of me squeezing her stomach.

"Let .... go of me..!"

She's struggling to free herself from me.

"Why'd you jump from here? It will hurt you Eli-chan."

"I can... I can do it! The ground is soft."

"I don't think so. I could jump from the fourth floor and barely from the fifth floor. But I'm not confident if it's from the sixth floor."

"No. I can do it! Just let me go."

"Stop squirming Eli-chan. Unless you want us to fall to our death. But ohh. I'll die with you so I guess it would be fun."

She stopped moving. Good thing she did because I'm uncertain how long my legs could hold up.

Because my hands are preoccupied with Eli-chan, I could only use my legs to clamp onto the rails so that we won't fall off the building.

Both I and her are currently turned upside down because of it.

Agh.. the sky hurts my eyes.

"Climb up first. Don't run anymore."

She flexibly reached out the top rail and pulled herself up. I can't help but feel her soft butt against my abdomen.

After she got off me, I thought she'll assists me but.... She immediately sprinted back to the side where we climbed up our way to here.

Oh hell. You doesn't listen now do you?

I jerked my body to rapidly pull myself up. Then immediately sprinted to her at full speed.

Before she could leap over the railings, I, once again dived towards her then hugged her from behind.

I did my all not to hurt her though. But she got knocked down to the concrete floor. However, I of course protected her head.
