Chapter 135 - The Chaotic Seat Change (1/2)
The Chaotic Seat Change

It’s a long homeroom. At our school, that means it’s a period for the class to do whatever they desire. If you’re busy with the school festival, it can be time to prepare for that, or it can even be time for deciding who will be the class representatives.
And for today’s long homeroom, we didn’t have our normal teacher, but Hiiragi-chan instead.
“Your homeroom teacher, Sakai-sensei, has been out since lunch for business-related stuff, so I will be the one to watch over you guys.”
What can Hiiragi-chan even do during a time like this since she isn’t even our homeroom teacher…? As I tilted my head in confusion, Hiiragi-chan continued.
“I was asked by Sakai-sensei to help out with a seat change, so that’s what I would like to do.”
A seat change. I’m next to the window, so I’m pretty satisfied with where I am sitting though…
“S-seat change…”
Fujimoto was trembling next to me.
“Hey, what’s wrong? A seizure? Do you have a syndrome where you’re unable to part with your current seat?”
“Sanada… You’re going to be next to me, right…? It’ll definitely be like that, right?”
“No, how am I supposed to know?”
I mercilessly cut him down.
“We us talking it out in the end?”
“Like changing with someone in front if you can’t see well.”
Hiiragi-chan nodded.
“Then, I guess it’ll be fine to start with a lottery.”
As everyone was nodding vaguely, Hiiragi-chan took a glance at me, so I gave her a firm nod.
“Then I’ll make the lottery. Please wait for a moment.”
Fujimoto started praying.
“If next to each other is impossible, then at least have it be front and back…”
“Don’t you have a girl you like or something?”
“Are you stupid!? There would be no way a girl would like an isolated loner like me.”
Wow… What he shouted was way heavier than I thought it would be… Also, I have a feeling that’s the truth.
I patted Fujimoto on the shoulder. Live strongly, my man.
“The lottery has been made, so please come up and pick one out one by one.”
Hiiragi-chan placed a brown envelope on the table. It seems that she put the lottery tickets inside.
Snaking through the class to pick out a ticket, it finally came to be my turn.
When I arrived at the front of the table, Hiiragi-chan whispered to me in a voice that only I could hear, “Here, here…”
What she brought out was a single lottery ticket.
“Sensei, did you perhaps…!”
Do you actually know what seat I like…?
Hiiragi-chan nodded and gave me a thumbs up.
That’s right, I said before that I liked a window seat! That’s got to be it. I responded by also giving a thumbs up. It’s the perfect inside trade.
Nice, Hiiragi-chan. Like this, I’ll at least be able to keep a window seat for the next few months. As long as it’s not the front, I can go anywhere.
This is Hiiragi-chan though. She might have exercised her power and given me the back most window seat.
After returning to my seat, Hiiragi-chan wrote the seating arrangement on the blackboard. Starting with the seat at the front by the hallway being 1, the arrangement snaked through the classroom so that the backmost window seat was labelled as 36.
“Has everyone gotten their ticket? Please move to the seat that your ticket indicates.”
Hmmmm. Based on that numbering, the window seats would be all the numbers in the thirties.
I spread out the folded piece of paper.
[It’s number 19 ♡]
Huh? Isn’t this wrong? Hiiragi-chan, did you give me the wrong ticket?
However, there’s a heart tacked on at the end, so this is definitely the one she was supposed to give me…
19…
In the middle of the front row… right in front of the teacher’s podium…?
“…”
Hiiragi-chan was repeatedly winking at me.
S-she really did it this time…!
Being right in front of the teacher’s podium means that during class, I’ll always be in the teacher’s vision.
Well, it’ll probably be fine during world history class. It’s close, and our eyes will meet a lot too.
As soon as I fall asleep she will probably end up warning me while assuming the air of a teacher. (Well, she is an actual teacher though.)
