(Monday, Lunch Break - Classroom)
I sat alone in my seat, mechanically chewing the fried noodle bread I bought from the cafeteria, glancing at the empty seats of the sunset moon from time to time.
[This guy shouldn't be too shy to come to school because of what happened the night before, right?]
Thinking of this, the corners of my mouth raised unconsciously, [Let's go to his house today...Anyway, the teacher asked me to bring him study materials]
Just when I was bored, a sudden 'ding' sound came from my pocket.
I took out my phone from my pocket and looked at it, and it turned out to be a message from the school doctor, who replied to my question this morning.
-----------------
(After school, 3:13 p.m. - at the entrance of the health room)
I stood in front of the health room, feeling uneasy, this place that once made me want so much, but now I feel an inexplicable sense of oppression.
The school doctor's suffocating control made me feel like I was walking into predator territory every time I stepped here.
"Huh-" I took a deep breath and opened the door of the infirmary.
What caught my eye was the back of the school doctor standing in front of the vent, she seemed to be busy with something, and she didn't look back when she heard the door open.
"Teacher?" I said in confusion, my eyes wandering between her and the vent, "... is this?"
"Ah, it's coming" Her voice was still lazy, but the movements in her hands didn't stop, "Wait a minute... The key is on the table, that is the first 'gift' promised to you"
I walked to the messy desk and found the key with a cold light in the scattered papers.
The moment I picked up the key, a document pressed underneath caught my attention - although most of the content was obscured, the words "interrogation target" were still clearly visible.
[What does this mean?] And would she be so careless? Or ... Is it intentional for me to see? This thought sent a chill down my back, and it made me even more curious about the background of the school doctor.
There was a soft sound of the vent cover closing behind her, and the school doctor's voice immediately sounded: "You owe me a favor this time"
She turned around, with the familiar dangerous smile on the corner of her mouth, "It's not easy to persuade Mari-chan to be interviewed here, the child put forward a bunch of conditions before reluctantly agreeing"
I immediately understood her hint: "What do you want?"
"Nothing... After you 'take' the truth sauce." I want to introduce you to a woman, but she has been counting me for causing her a lot of trouble lately... Especially the time you went berserk... her eyes unconsciously tilted to the side, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly, as if it was something interesting, "But you should know her soon~".
Although I didn't understand what she meant in her last sentence, when I heard this request, my tense nerves suddenly relaxed, and I breathed a sigh of relief without even realizing it, [Fortunately... At least it's not an excessive request, although I don't know why you want to take me to meet a woman...]
Then she suddenly approached me, grabbed my chin with one hand and pressed my cheek, making my mouth open uncontrollably into an "O" shape, and then fed me a pill.
"Cough... What did you eat for me! I stared wide-eyed at this elusive woman, but she just tilted her head to show an innocent expression.
"It's nothing, it's just a little pill that makes you have to tell the truth within a limited time" She waved her hand casually, and the other hand rummaged through the pocket of her white coat for something, "This is one of the conditions put forward by the truth, and I have to do it"
Soon she took out a purple pill, "Here you go, this is the antidote, which can counteract the effect of the potion"
I swallowed the pill without hesitation, [ Why bother? Wouldn't it be better to lie to her directly...]
Seeing me swallow the antidote, she immediately showed a playful smile: "But... This is a temporary test item, what side effects may there be..." She deliberately dragged out the tail, and retreated lightly towards the door, "As for what the side effects are, even I, the producer, don't know~"
[Damn it... I was tricked again...] Watching her slowly walk to the door, my heart was full of regret,
and when she arrived at the door, she suddenly remembered something and added: "Ah yes, you don't have to make any preparations in advance." I put a special aromatherapy for you last time on the vent..."
After speaking, she hummed a brisk tune and disappeared out of the door, leaving only the sound of footsteps fading away.
[Really... I couldn't figure out what this woman would do next...] shuddered in hindsight.
