Start By Becoming A Mangaka 149 Shouko's Problem

'Yuuki..' Shouko shook her head and decided to focus on the lesson first. She had always wanted to hear the voice of the teacher and her wish had already been granted. That was she needed to work hard.

---

When the cla.s.s was over, Shouko decided to take out her bento. She had always brought herself a bento because it was cheaper and she didn't want to make her mom work too hard.

"SHOUKO!!!" Shouko turned her head and smiled. She saw her friends there.

"Yuuii," Shouko tried to talk normally even though it was still hard.

"Ah, you can call my name normally now! I'm happy!" Yui was really happy and hugged her.

"Ah, Yui! Don't hug, Shouko!" Ritsu reprimanded her.

"Ritchu," Shouko also tried hard to call her name.

Ritsu who heard her name being called almost let out her tears. She had been working hard to teach her talk normally. She was really glad to the guy who gave her that super hearing aids. It really helped Shouko on daily life.

"SHOUKO!!!" Ritsu also ran toward her and hugged her. "Moo! You're very cute!!"

Shouko was still smiling and being hugged by both Yui and Ritsu. She was really happy in her high school life.

"Hora!! Don't hug her together! Shouko is being troubled!" Mio was quite vexed with the actions of two of her friends.

"Moo, Mio, you can also hug her together with us!" Yui said.

"That's right! That's right! Don't be tsundere all the time!" Ritsu also said.

"Wh-who is tsundere!" Mio was blushing and her face reddened. She definitely wasn't tsundere. She was just shy but she was also quite jealous of both of them. She felt like being left out by everyone.

"Ah! I'll join everyone too!" Mugi came out of nowhere also hugged everyone. "Ah! So soft!" She really was really happy.

"Mugi," Shouko could call her name normally.

"Yes, Shouko!" Mugi was glad that her friend could call her normally.

They hugged each other and Mio was watching them like a bystander.

Mio was feeling quite frustrated and jealous. She was almost crying when she was being left out by everyone. She also wanted to join everyone but she missed her chance. When she wanted to give up she heard her voice.

"Mio, coome heare too," Shouko said while smiling.

Mio definitely didn't let out her tears. Her eyes were red and she ran toward her.

"Shouko!" Mio glued her cheek on her.

Five of them had been friends together ever since the 1st year in Ousai Academy School. They could be called the best friends to each other.

---

Five of them were eating together. They ate while talking together about the beautiful infirmary teacher, Ayako-sensei.

"I heard Ayako-sensei has a boyfriend!" Ritsu suddenly dropped a bomb.

"What? Really?" Mio was surprised.

"Do you know who he is?" Mugi was quite curious.

Ritsu nodded, "Yeah, I've been seeing them since my family visited the jousting arena a few weeks ago." She had watched Ayako-sensei was very intimate with a man and even kissed him.

They were blushing when they heard Ritsu's stories. Their school was an all-girls school and they had never had close contact with men beside their family. They started to imagine the scene where Ayako-sensei and the man kissed each other.

"Awaawawaw," Mio was blushing.

Shouko was quietly listening to her story until she heard Yui's voice.

"Shouko, what's wrong? You've been down in the past few days," Yui said with concern. Even though she was an airhead and dumb but she was the most sensitive among everyone.

Mio, Ritsu, and Mugi also stopped talking and looked at Shouko.

"Yes, tell us everything! We'll help you, Shouko!" Ritsu said with confidence.

"I-I'll also help!" Mio said with determination.

Mugi nodded, "Yes, we're friends right?"

Shouko felt touched when she heard their concern and decided to talk her matter to them. She had been bottled up her feeling and now felt relieved when she had someone to share it. She started to tell them about her meeting with Yuuki. Then the time they spent together and the time he helped her family. Then she saw him holding hand together with other girls and she felt very uncomfortable. She didn't know what to do know.

The four girls didn't say anything and looked at Shouko who explained her worry with sign language. They had learned it in this past years together since they wanted to be friends with Shouko. They wanted to help her but they didn't know what to do since they didn't have any experience with a man.

They were also very curious about this guy who kept helping her but they also felt very annoyed when they thought this man would steal Shouko from them. They needed to see whether this man was very suitable for Shouko or not.

"I'm sorry, Shouko, but we don't have a solution, we don't have any experience with men either," Ritsu shook her head and felt regret.

Mugi tried to ask her butler to search for information about Yuuki.

Mio also felt vexed that she couldn't help her friend.

"Don't worry, but I feel relieved when I can tell my worries to everyone," Shouko didn't mind and told them in sign language. She felt all the feeling bottled up inside her heart was feeling better. She was glad to tell them her worries.

"Why don't we ask it to Ayako-sensei?" Yui suddenly said.

Three of them suddenly stood up from their chair and said, "That's great, Yui!"

"Let's go to Ayako-sensei!"

"Let's go, Shouko!!"

Shouko was dumbfounded but followed them.
