It was spring. The season where the snow from the previous winter melts and the flowers bloom. The time when youth is truly appreciated and love is in the air... along with the pollen grains from the blooming flowers bringing doom for those with allergies.

"Achoo!"

And of course, we have a character that would be having those allergies. What would be the use of inserting that information if we don't have at least one person having it, right?

"Damn I hate spring. Why don't those damn flowers just rot instead of pollinating?"

The grumbling person right now is Kiryu. With his light hair messed upped because of an irregular sleeping habit.

"Sigh. I should probably wear a mask today as well."

Kiryu then went to his drawer to grab his personal cloth-face mask only to be used when he gets sick. Allergies are counted.

"Shit. I'm gonna be late!"

Kiryu quickly grabbed it from the drawer and dashed off his house. Just before stepping a foot outside, he skillfully put on the piece of cloth as he ran.

Just as he reached the school gates after running, he checked his watch. Seeing he had time left before the bell chimes, he slowed down and started walking so that he won't waste energy.

"Phew. I made it... ?"

Something was odd.

Despite during his hated period of spring where his allergies kicked in, for some reason, it was his first time smelling this sweet scent as he walked by the flower beds and cherry trees. For the first time in his life of runny-nose every time he passed by flowers, he was actually feeling a sense of refreshment as spring was in full bloom.

That, and the odd gazes of the people around him. He was still quite away from the school gate where a teacher was making inspections but he still had time. And then a familiar person grabbed his shoulder.

"Yoho! Good morning Kiryu!"

It was the ditsy Shino Haruyama.

"Good morning. Huh? Kotoharu isn't with you?"

"Yeah. Apparently he caught a bad cold and can't come today."

"Spring's the worst for us."

Apparently, even the other main male character has fallen due to spring allergies. Are all of the guys useless this season? If even Nozato gets allergies, I'm dropping this.

Shino then looked at Kiryu then tilted her head.

"What's wrong?"

"Oh it's nothing. I heard that the Prez is planning to counter the pollen problem this time. I bet it's gonna be fun!"

As usual, Shino dropped whatever just happened and went to focus about more eccentric things.

"That doesn't sound like good news. She might just make things worse."

Ahead of them, two familiar figures were caught by the teacher and was getting scolded.

Probably because one was dressed upped like a against the handbook and the other was bringing in manga in school.

Kiryu decided to call them anyway.

"Good morning, Ayumi, Kuromi."

"Good morning!"

Seeing the new figure enter the scene, the two girls and one mad teacher turned their way.

"Oh. Nice timing. Help us."

"Keh. What do you want?"

In order, Ayumi gave a pleading look while Kuromi gave a disgusted, defeated look as if the person came in a bad timing.

",,,"

Then the two girls and one teacher remained silent looking at him. All three gave a shocked expression.

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Kiryu decided to look towards Shino for answers but only got an 'I don't know' expression and smiled obliviously.

Then it was the teacher that grabbed Kiryu's shoulder that broke the silence.

"Young boy. Do you know what is it on your face right now?"

"Huh? My mask?"

Kiryu then grabbed onto the cloth on his face and then...

"Eh?"

The cloth on his face was not his regular cloth-face mask only to be used once he's sick. Allergies included. But it was a triangle shaped soft piece of cloth that was in no way was a mask. Perversion excluded.

(Aren't this my sister's?!!! What was this doing in my drawer?!!!!)

Realizing that he can't get away from this situation and knowing that not realizing that it was not his because he was in a hurry was a bad excuse, all hope left him.

(If this weren't my sister's, I would have mixed feelings but everything right now just feels disgusting and horrible!!!!)

"Ne, young boy. Explain yourself?"

The face of fury of catching a pervert in action and for that pervert to be a student in his school, the teacher gave Kiryu his last moments to die without regrets.

"This is-"

Shino remaining oblivious as ever, the other two girls were looking as if they've seen someone eating wet gum off the street. This added mre damage to Kiryu.

"I was in a hurry so..."

"You're coming with me in the office, no the principal's room, no the disciplinary committee after the bell rings. Got it."

"Yes..."

Hearing those words were like death row for any student that knows. Ending up in the office was bad. Ending up with the principal would be like a court trial. Ending up with the disciplinary committee would make anyone that experience it prefer going through hell.

After that, the screams which no one heard rang across the halls for hours.
