17: The Reason for the Heavy Bag

Following Mizuno into the classroom, Haisha truly felt what it was like to be the center of attention. Half of the eyes in the class were focused on Mizuno, while the other half observed Haisha.

Haisha immediately understood the meaning behind these contemplative gazes. Yesterday, Mizuno held her hand, and today, they went to school together... Haisha blushed and lowered her head. She quietly took out her book.

Haisha never believed that a beautiful love story like falling in love at first sight would happen to her. But after yesterday's incident, Haisha just wanted to be close to Mizuno, like yesterday afternoon. From Mizuno's body, she felt a sense of security she had never felt before. His large hand caressed her shoulder, the scent of sunlight on his jacket.

It's so easy to fall in love with someone. It only takes one day. At this moment, Haisha even thought that she knew it was wrong. The oppression she experienced at school in the past seemed like a kind of suffering that gave her the opportunity to get close to Mizuno, who was also hurt.

But what kind of feelings does Mizuno have towards me? Haisha glanced at Mizuno, then quickly averted her gaze.

Haisha, oh Haisha, you better not think blindly. Mizuno's classmates are just polite and kind people. Mizuno will fight against anything unfair. Mizuno doesn't think about you. You should stop these naive thoughts.

It's not just Haisha who observes Mizuno, there are others in the class who also look in Mizuno's direction. But most of the gazes from the boys are filled with hatred.

Mizuno doesn't care about those hateful gazes. Those who were beaten by him still hold hatred in their hearts. But as Mizuno told Haisha, he will face whatever comes his way. Mizuno is not someone who is afraid of trouble.

Haisha is truly not good at hiding her emotions and small movements. Mizuno sharply noticed that the little girl had looked at him more than once in class.

Mizuno is not a slow male protagonist in a Japanese light novel. Mizuno also has vague feelings about Haisha's feelings.

But how should Mizuno respond to these feelings? Mizuno is not ready yet.

There is a big difference between the education standards of Public High Schools and Private High Schools. The wealthy and powerful will send their children to private schools rather than public schools that implement a happy education. Under the guidance of a happy education, ordinary children without extraordinary talents, and who will not be able to compete with the children of the wealthy in the second generation of Private High Schools.

After a day of teaching, they walk together. Whether it's elementary school, junior high school, or high school, the obstacle is that they have to change their shoes when entering and leaving the teaching building.

While changing shoes in the shoe locker, Mizuno said to Haisha, "Haibu, let me carry your bag... Why is it so heavy?"

Mizuno's bag is very light. It only contains textbooks and homework. But Haisha's bag is exceptionally heavy. Mizuno noticed that Haisha was constantly hunching her back. Maybe it had something to do with carrying such a heavy bag all the time.

"Inside... there are gym clothes, shoes..."

Haisha didn't say it clearly, but Mizuno's eyebrows raised. It seems that Haisha has been bullied at school. If these clothes were left at school, the bullies might do something to them. It's common for them to be cut and graffitied.
