Tatsumin: /* Part 2 */

==The secret of the Butler-kun==

===Part 1===

Konoe Subaru.

Probably, there’s anyone in this Rouran private school who never listened this name.

[http://kenshi247.net/blog/2013/03/18/bunburyodo/ Bunburyodo]. Good looking. Clean clothes. A prodigy guy.

If he was a girl, all the guys in the school would be knocked out——A plausibly handsome guy that was heard on rumors. Anyone would envy that student with perfect results. But in the world has a word called unachievable, this is Konoe, the only flower blooming on the top of the Everest.

Anyway, the nickname he was given was [Subaru-sama].

The female students admire him, the male students look at him with jealousy. I can’t believe that he is the same human being like us, the commoners. How ever, don’t be surprised.

The more incredible is his work.

‘Butler.’

Yes, he is a butler.

The occupation of Konoe Subaru without doubts is butler.

...........

No, no.

When I first heard it, I doubted of my ears, you know?

Butler, what’s happening with it? Don’t make fun with me. Why such a occupation has left on this modern society. And also going to high school.

Enough of it, he is a heavenly treasure or something like it?

This was my reaction when I first heard about konoe. At first everyone was like this. It’s not exactly but, you won’t believe in a Threatened specie like a butler.

But, Nevertheless that scene was.

When I saw him calling our classmate Suzutsuki Kanade with a [Ojou-sama] in a reverently way, I couldn’t help but believe in this dream like story.

Shit.

I’m jealous.

I’m so jealous.

If he only was popular with the girls, he is also the butler of ‘that’ Suzutsuki Kanade?

It made me look at him with envy eyes.

However, this brilliant event will never happen to me during my gray school days.

It’s not like I hate women, and I also not play for the other team.

How ever, the really most annoying thing, is that thanks to my body, I was always bad with women approach.

Indeed, there’s no way I can see Konoe Subaru other than a brilliant human.

Even in my remaining time of school life, I wont have many chance to get involved with him, huh.

Even when I got to the second year, and became classmate with Konoe, I didn’t doubt it.

So, until I open that door.

===Part 2===

“Huh——“

I was careless.

That was after school, it was the day that was completing one week since the entrance ceremony.

I opened the door of the bathroom stall without knocking, but there already has a previous visitor inside.

There was a delicate doll like small body that was made so finely.

With a uniform which was different from the ones of the ordinary students.

With the hair tied back in a beard shape, it was a clean cut like the ones of a antique doll.

The vision of that art work was familiar, but unpleasant.

“......Konoe Subaru?”

And instantly, I called that name.

This is bad.

What’s this situation?

I wonder if he forgot of locking the door.

Konoe that was swishing his mouth, widened his eyes looking at me who suddenly opened the door.

Aaah, but, it was better if I haven’t screamed. Even if you say that is after school, can still have people on the corridors.

If you got seen by other people in this situation, no matter how much you apologize, it wont change.

Further more, who was there was ‘that’ Subaru-sama.

Is said on the rumors that in this Rouran School, has some fan clubs for him, and on the middle of them, has some militants who says, the ones who raise a hand to Subaru-sama doesn’t matter who is, they will be submerged on the Tokyo Bay whit the squids.

If this scene was seen the one of them. It would be death sentence immediately. It would be like in the medieval age, when they put fire on the witches.

If you think about it, the situation still okay. I just have to apologize. Hahaha, sorry about it. I careless opened the door. I haven’t bad intentions.... like this, slightly saying and take my way out.

[[File:Mayo Chiki! Vol1 017.jpeg|200px|thumbnail|right]]

Okay, here we go.

Breaking the silence, I moved the pointers of the clock who have stopped.

“Ah, haha, I’m really sorry. I just careless opened the door...”

Because of my high tension, it didn’t work out.

When I awkwardly looked close, my line of sight got dragged to his bare sighs.

Err—even being a man, he has good colors.

A porcelain like white skin.

He may be about to lower his underwear.

And more, my sight got glued to that white modelled beauty.

——and.

“....unn?”

That moment, I think I saw something that I can't.

...........

Wait a moment.

Isn’t he using some strange underwear?

How can I say....... The form was strangely conclusive.

It looks like a girl’s panties.

“————“

Then I thought.
I awkwardly closed the door. Fortunately, Konoe also doesn’t express a reaction. I guess he still astonished. Yeah, I know how do you feel. I also think the scene I saw right now looks like a joke.

Right after leave the boys toilet, I washed my hand on a close sink. Since I don’t use it there’s no need to wash them but, there was not even one milligram of afford to think about this.

A cat.

There was a cute cat stamped.

A loveliness cat was slightly imprinted on that underwear. Or rather, the point is, no matter how you look......

“No, calm down.”

There’s no way.

I took out my glasses and wiped my eyes.

If what happened just now wasn’t an illusion, then the degree of my glasses got weird. But the degree of glass can turn strange all of sudden?

In the first place, why did I came to the toilet?

Yeah, it’s all because of the Kimuchi<ref>'''Kimuchi''' is a traditional Asian dish made from spicy fermented cabbage.</ref> I eat on the breakfast. Damn Kureha, easily letting the food surpass expiration date. The morning show on TV said something about today my lucky colour being red or something, there’s no way I could believe something like that.... huh, now it doesn’t matter.

Question

Yes——the question is.

Why—did Konoe was using a female underwear?

I can’t believe the words that gone out from my mouth.

Cause It was that Konoe you know?

That Konoe Subaru you know?

Certainly, he’s a guy, but he looks like a gi——or rather, he has a face which was more cuter than a lot of girls we have here, but, he doesn’t have a reason to put that underwear. But still. Can be that in his family had a blood curse, which you don’t have option but to wear a girl’s panties.

“....Impossible. There’s no way.”

Then, what was that?

My brain gone spinning like a washing machine on the drying process.

Subaru-sama, toilet, panties, cat, nyaa~, nyaa~, nyaa~......

Thinking about it. Some keywords appeared on my head——Suddenly, an inspiration, fell down on my brain by the god’s will.

“.............!”

Without thinking *pon* I hit my hand.

....Aaah, got it.

If you stop and think about it, its a simple thing. Ahaha, how idiot I am. Why I don’t thought about it. The truth is always only one. It’s a very simple answer, isn’t it?

——A pervert.

Yeah, Konoe Subaru is a pervert who has a crossdress hobby.

“.............”

No, wait Sakamachi Kinjirou. Think about it one more time. Because it is that Subaru-sama. There’s no way that he would be a crossdress guy.

“But really,”

Certainly, I can’t think in other way.

Surely, the reason Konoe worn a girl’s underwear, is that he wanted to playfully remember of his sexual pleasure. If was not it, then why he’s wearing that panties.

“.....what an event. I can’t believe, that Subaru-sama was a pervert.”

My head gone blank to the surprising truth.

No matter what I do, if this truth doesn’t stay under the grave, I’m in danger. If by any reason, this information got spread out. A lot of female students can lost they hope and go crazy, in the worst case, our homeroom teacher, feeling the responsibility, can cut his neck.

And more, I don’t have any intentions of blaming other people’s hobby. I respect the privacy. Everyone has secrets. Yeah.... I’m not an exception too.

I twisted the faucet, and the water stopped.

I’m going home.

Because of the great surprise, the bellyache I had caused by the rotten kimuchi, gone flying away.

Today I’ll quietly go home, have dinner, enter on bath and go sleep...... I’ll forget the things I need to forget.

This is what I decided by myself but, when I tried to turn to the corridor side——

“——You saw, don’t you?”

To a guy that is a slightly high auto-voice?

The setting sun was dyeing that not frequented corridor.

There was a petit figure standing inside of that brilliant orange.

“Jirou....Sakamachi Kinjirou. Hmm, I’m certainly that this was your name.”

Like the ring of the bell, the clear voice of that figure——Konoe Subaru called my name.

With a mad expression and a surly attitude.

That was the default Konoe.

At least, he know the name of his classmates. Konoe is cold with everyone except with his master Suzutsuki. Looks like he’s trying to pull away everyone besides his master, his voice and gaze was intimidator. Looking at this figure, the girls of my class start muttering some thing about [cool and wonderful], right now I couldn't say that, I can’t use this expression.

…..I’ll get killed.

If stay like this, I’ll really get killed.

Why I don’t know but, this obscure like uneasiness filled up my head.

“If you pretend to stay in silent, I’ll ask one more time.”

Silence was the reason of the annoyance? Konoe moved his petals like little lips.

“You——saw my panties, don’t you?”

<nowiki>*Dossha*</nowiki>, I feel like my heart was thrown on the cold waters of the rowdy Japan sea.

What is this….. it’s just too scary. The things he’s saying are just too scary. Ugh, and what’s about my lucky color being red? Isn’t almost everything that fortune-teller say is wrong…..?

“hu…huh? What are you talking about? I….I, I haven’t seen anything.”

I answered acting like a dumb. I mean. ‘yeah, I’ve clearly saw everything, I don’t expected you to use such a cute underwear.’ There’s now way I could say it. It’s almost like do a Break Dance in a minefield.

“Huh. You saw that so clearly and now you try to say you haven’t seen anything?”

A hostile tone as always.

Very good. Since it comes this way, I’ll cut through it. You won’t seal my mouth by using tortures at the same level as east German ones. I’ll show you my rebellious spirit……..!

“Be honest, you saw it right? Your eyes clearly saw it right? You wanted to see my underwear and opened that door right?”

“There’s no way! Who would want to see your underwear! I’m already an adult after all! That animal stamp under wear don’t get me excited!”

“……My bad, for using a animal stamp underwear. By the way, why did you know the pattern of my underwear? Haven’t you said that did not saw it?”

“……………….”

Shit! That was a leading question!

“Ca—calm down! It was just sudden impulse!”

“Damn pervert. You no longer have human rights.”

“Don’t joke! I don’t peeked at your panties because I like it!”

“Huh. Then, you are saying that what happened just now was an accident?”

“Of course! I only stared without thinking, because you where wearing a cute underwear.”

“It’s enough. I understand. I understood what kind of human you are.”

Konoe stared strongly this way. Gulp, why are you looking here. It’s like the cold eyes which you look at an worthless sexual criminal. Damn, what I did to him.

“Damn! Until now you just said what you want. If I’m a pervert, you are a worthless pervert! You are using girls panti——”

And.

After saying that I silenced.

Accurately saying I got silenced.

Without any warnings Konoe’s right hand flew on my direction, the words where took out from me.

“Guaah——!?”

A piercing body blow. The blow accurately hit a vital point. I pray to my body to not turn bend.

This is bad——

It will come out.

This way, all I’ve eaten today will going to come out. It’s grade is growing too fast, I’ll throw a hot vomit on the corridor. I wont do that too pathetic debut in the new year!

I give back the demons who crawled to my throat at the last moment, I barely fix the breathing.

“…...Got it. Just now you fainted at least, in this blow, you where to be vomiting blood, well done enduring it.”

“………………”

Hey, damn. Don’t hit your classmates so suddenly.

Now that I think, I heard that Konoe being a butler, he had to learn self-defense to protect his master. Certanly, just now my vital points was perfectly hit.

But, unfortunately.

If it’s this degree of damage, because of family matters, since my five years old I got hit.

I have a body which is strong against physical hits.

“It can’t be helped. Then, I’ll go for serious now.”

“Ehh?”

“By the way, the hit you got just now, had about a half of my full power.”

“……..You’re the protagonist of some battle manga? By the way, why do I have to be beaten up?”

“Huh. This is already decided. You discovered my secret. And because you know, you have to disappear.”

“Wha—”

What’s with this. I’ll die? I’ll die just because I saw his panties?

“You don’t have anything to fear. I won’t take your life, I’ll only delete your memory. On my house, we have an amnesia surgery technique that pass generation by generation.”

“Aaah… you were scaring me. And then, what kind of technique is it?”

"Hit."

“Huh——”

“Didn’t you hear me? I’m going to hit you. I’m going to hit you until you memories fly out of your head. This is the butler’s true, Amnesia surgery technique.”

“I will die. My life will disappear. Or rather, this method has nothing to do with butlers!”

“Don’t need to worry. It will end soon. When you wake up, you will be on a hospital bed. Then you will start murmuring things like, ‘Where am I? who I am?’. Come on, everything will fit well.”

“It won’t fit! This is cripple! Or rather, I will get crippled! You will reset my sixteen years of precious memories!”

“Don’t worry, I will go see you two times a month. Empty-handed.”

“Bring something! This is the concern you have with the human that you crippled?”

“Muu, it can’t be helped. Then I will bring an Ecchi book. Which do you want? Mature women?”

“You’re strongly misunderstanding my tastes…..!”

“….What did you say? Don’t tell me it’s more than this? Mu—…… I didn’t know there was such a brave man in the middle of my classmates. Okay, I will spread your legend. Now, calm down and sleep, Silver Killer.”

“I got a such shameful nicknameee——!!”

<nowiki>*Rattling*</nowiki>

I think I heard the sound of the Image I had of Konoe Subaru broking in pieces.

This is danger. Do something. That damn guy, he has a cute face but, he has something wrong in his mind. Aah, What I do? Even if I say that I will protect his secret, the Konoe of right now, will not believe me. But I also don’t want to get beat out.

“Damn, it’s not it.”

I slowly stretched my spine and got up.
I guessed that the mood had gone strange, then [Fuu] Konoe Shortly breathed.

“Why? Why do you resist?”

“Aah, Unfortunately I hate pain. That’s why, I will do what I can do.”

“Huh——Looks like you’re prepared. I don’t hate it, Silver Killer.”

“…wha—. I beg you, please stop calling me with this nickname.”

Then. Konoe held his fist and take a step back getting away from me.

Bring it on.

I though that I was saying it.

I felt a chill through my body.

To answer to that highly motivated butler-kun, I slowly took a step.

And—I slowly got the feet behind.

“Wha——”

At that moment, the sound of my breath could be heard.

But, it was too late.

And then, I changed the direction of my body and starting running as fast as I can.

Flying.

I’m flying.

I can look like this but, I have some confidence on my legs to run away.

“You! You’re trying to run away?!”

Konoe’s voice was coming from the back. Looks like he’s impatient.

“Sorry! But a hate pain!”

I run through the after school corridors while crying out loud.

<nowiki>*thump*thump*thump*</nowiki>

There’s no expectation but, I will run as long as I can. For now, I will run to a place that his hands can’t reach. After that, I will think calmly.

“I wont let you run away!”

He really followed me. The sound of footsteps getting close got strong. It feels like being in a resistance group of the second world war. It is a thrill trench point.

“Fight like a man! If you do it, I will show you the mercy of a butler and finish it in one blow.”

“Which mercy?! Or rather, I don’t want to hear about like a man from a guy who looks like a girl.”

“Y, you said it! You really said what you are not supposed to say! Don’t move from there! In just a second I will cut you into pieces, Silver Killer!”

“How many times I have to tell you, don’t call me by that Nickname!”

I felt a intimidate chill through my spine. He’s fast. *Grrr* I think that I heard a sound like a grumble just now.

This Is the second floor. Has a way to run to the first floor but, the stairs is bad. He will probably hit me with a jump kick from above. Then…..!

I run into a classroom, which where right after the stairs. The smell of chemicals reach my nose. Yeah, this is the science classroom. Doesn’t matter that is the science classroom or what, but I can be confined here for a maximum of ten minutes.

<nowiki>*Pllaaaakkk*</nowiki>I closed the door, and locked it. During the time he can’t open the door, I will just go down by the window. Oh, it’s just right, the human body model is here (if I’m not wrong, his name was Johny). Lucky—, with this, I will seal the do——

<nowiki>*Kaboom*</nowiki>

In the moment I tried to seal the door with the model, a crushing sound echoed on the science room.

I had a bad feeling and got my eyes on the direction of the sound, and there was the figure of the door flying away.

Konoe has kicked the door.

“uooo?!”

I dodged from the flying door. Making a clang sound, the internal organs of the model crashed at the wall. Uaahh—, the big intestine and the liver are broken, it became a big disaster.

“I’m cornered.”

The butler came inside the science room while snapping the small intestine. How much shrew this situation can be.

Shit, if turned this way I don’t have any options. I was a little afraid of using violence on a cute face guy but, Konoe is also a man. If he is a man, I don’t have reasons for holding up.

I grab the model by the leg and raise it. Okay, I’m a central batter. My target is a home run. I won’t win any prizes but, I will be able to run all I want!

“Haaaa!!!”

I swing the body with full power. If you look from outside, it’s a scene to doubt about one’s sanity, but, for me now, I have no other option. The model’s head cut through the air, attempting to hit Konoe.

“Don’t underestimate me!”

<nowiki>*Strong Blow*.</nowiki>

Konoe’s right fist gave a straight blow above the neck of the model.

The head flew like a cannon ball. And it gone through the open window.

“Ua, Uaaaahh!!” “Gyaaaa, a heaaad!!” Some screams could be heard from below.

Apparently it fell right before a student couple. It surely became a hell, but this doesn’t matter.

......What do I do?

There’s no longer what to do.

It’s better to reach a resolution.

While I was thinking about it in my mind, I slowly raised my fists. I took a guard a guard posture, with both hands protecting my head. This is, the style which suits me the most. I’m not in an amateur rank.

“Looks like you are prepared now.”

In answer, Konoe also put in a fighting pose.

I gave a piercing gaze.

Sooner—— as if to let out a war declaration, that lips let out a word.

“Now I will finish you for real, with my [Butler punch].”

“…………”

Wha—, cut it out. What is this [Butler Punch]? Just what it says huh? I though it was a new curve ball.

“I don’t give a shit but, you don’t have any naming sense, huh?”

“Wha….What are you saying?! Isn’t this name cool?! Look, [Butler Punch]!!”

“No, this is rotten. [Butler Punch].”

I only told my honest impressions. His face became red and he ‘uuh’ groaned.

……Don’t tell me, he’s embarrassed?

“Kuu… It’s the first time in my life that such a shame happens. I wont forgive you anymore.
I will let you see my mortal technique.”

“Mortal Technique?”

“Yeah, I call it [End Of Earth].”

“The scale is just tooo big.”

Destroying the Earth… If you do it you will die too!!

“Surely, I’m thinking seriously about your naming sense.”

“Shu— Shut up, don’t blame my naming sense!”

“………Sorry. This time I’m in the wrong. You thought about it with all your might…”

“Wha——What’s with that ‘I already understood’ face! Why are you looking here with those eyes that look like you're seeing something pitiful!?”

Shit… I thought I was doing cool. Even if I thought about it for a week. So, Konoe can be thinking about it like a little kid.

“…………”

This is dangerous.

He looks....very cute.

The gap between his normal attitude and the disappointed one, was too big that it passed a cute look onto him. Stop it. Stop it. If I keep thinking about it, I will climb up the stairs for being an adult. Certainly, on a different route from normal people. This is the only thing I have to avoid……!

I try to get back to my feelings while I establish my breath.

Now that I think about it, it has been a long time since I've seen fights like this.

When I think like this, *tumdum* my heart strokes hard.

“————”

The tension dominates the science classroom.

I can clearly heard my breath, the core of the body became cold.

The air strained.

In the middle of it, I’m attempting to take the first move.

I realized it.

The beaker on shelf next to Konoe.

Maybe because of the fight from before, it lost its balance. Looks like it will fall at any moment.

Konoe didn’t realize it.

He will not see it because the angle. The beaker started inclining, it started to fall on that line.

“Move away!”

My body moved reflexively. Konoe became astonished with the voice that suddenly raised.

Shit, he didn’t realized yet.

——Exactly.

If continue this way, the beaker will hit his head.

“Shit!”

I beg you. That I Can reach in time.

Praying so, I pushed Konoe down whit my full power.

<nowiki>*Crash*</nowiki>

And the sound of breaking glass was heard.

The beaker fell down and broke in pieces just behind of us.

This was danger, one blow was…

When the danger passed, I started feeling relieved, but——

“Uuu…”

I heard a painful voice from below.

Konoe who was pushed down by me was groaning. I thought that he was hurt somewhere, then I gazed down at Konoe……

That moment, my heart gone frozen.

Konoe who was below me.

A body like a doll. Defined curves. The eyes like Jade.

….This is dangerous, what’s this cute creature?

A good aroma is gently reaching my nose. Even he being a guy, he smells so good. And he’s so soft. I touched something soft when I moved my hand……

“Huh…?”

Wait a minute.

No matter what, isn’t this feeling impossible for a man? *funyu**funyu* I try to move my finger that was in his left breast.

“………………”

This is strange.

This is very very strange.

Why him——Even being a man, has breasts?

“Gyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!”

He screamed like a girl.

At the same time, I was given a punch from below.

“Guhaa!!”

Konoe’s upper cut reached my chin. I was blown away while raising a groaning voice. Fortunately or not, my body was blown away from the broken beaker pieces.

“It hurts!!”

While bearing the pain from a hard hit, I touched the chin that was beaten, a wet feeling was left on my palm.

……wet?

When I wondered and looked, ‘my hand was dyed in red’.

Blood.

To be precise nosebleed.

<nowiki>*Drop**drop*flesh blood was splitting from the nose.</nowiki>

The strange is that, I should have been beaten on the chin, then, why is the nose which is splitting blood?

“Wha—— Impossible… Why?”

Why?

‘Even if I don’t touched a girl, why is my nose bleeding?’

“Y, you touched it…”

A trembling voice was heard. When I moved my eyes from my hand dyed in red, I saw the figure of Konoe hugging his arms around his chest, he was trembling with his face dyed in red. Now that I look, his eyes are wet.

“Do, don’t say me, that Konoe-san…”

My voice was trembling.

This is surely. My opponent is Subaru-sama. In the middle of the girls he is the most admired guy. Yet. Even so.

“You…… You're a girl?”

Beethoven’s concert was played in my brain. The song was [Fate]. That tchandyandyan like.

Girl.

Konoe Subaru was a girl.

Why this cute girl will come to the school dressing like a man?

This is surely a surprise. Now I got it. More two seconds and ‘Ahaha, baka baka! To believe in such a joke!’ saying like that, trying to trick people with strange mechanisms. Haha, I hoped it will happen. Please, I beg you.

“——I will kill you.”

That moment I was almost to scream.

<nowiki>*Chill*</nowiki>

A unspeakable chill cross through my spin.

Konoe was standing on the front of my eyes.

In konoe subaru’s hands was a bright red fire extinguisher.

“Wha… Fire extinguisheeeeeeeeer!?”

There’s no doubt. That is a fire extinguisher. Even a kindergarten children would know. He probably took the one at the science room. He made a pose with the metallic red object on his hand.

“Wa—wait a minute Konoe-san. If you hit me with that, I have the feeling that wont be only my memory which will be blown away……”

“Aah, I understand. A pervet like you, wasn’t supposed to be in this world……”

“Tha——that was an accident!! That was with out a doubt an accident!!”

“Was an accident, huh. You touched……you say it even if you touched my breasts and had a nosebleed……!”

Uuurrr, Konoe wistfully groaned.

“You got it wrong! It’s not because I got excited that I got a nose bleed! This is because my body ha——”

“Dialog is useless. Don’t worry, I will put your corpse inside the wall. And in the future, I will be the teacher here. Then I will be able to keep an eye on your body, so no one will find it.”

Keh. Holy shit. He is aiming a perfect crime. Or rather this is bad. I can’t stand up because of the fear. Uaaaaaaaaaaaah move. Please move, I beg you body, please move!!

“Then, this is the end. Die while clenching in despair.”

I received dead sentence.

According to the horoscope, looks like my lucky color is red.

Aah, from now on, I won’t watch that program anymore.

The bright red fire extinguisher was reflected on my view.

In that moment I thought, It will prang on my head.

Since you don’t know how to write kanji, you ended up mixing in a certain city in Hiroshima. <ref>Kureshi (呉市). The 呉here is read as Kure</ref>

His eyebrows are really long.

He has a nice nose bridge and a slender lower chin; I can only describe such a beautiful face as a work of art.

“—And then, his fringe gently caressed my face and I…”

“PULL YOURSELF TOGETHER, AKIHISA—!”

“…DON’T LOSE CONSCIOUSNESS…!”

What happened just now was so shocking that I can’t face reality properly.

“Takashiro, you bastard…! You actually used such a psychological attack…! It’s okay for you now because Akihisa just managed to understand homosexual love, isn’t it!?”

“I’M NOT OKAY WITH THAT KIND OF RELATIONSHIP AT ALL, YUUJI! I DON’T WANT TO UNDERSTAND THAT KIND OF WORLD AT ALL!!”

Yuuji’s words dragged me from my thoughts back into reality. I, I actually kissed a guy…!

“A-Akihisa-kun? Erm, well…I don’t know what to say now, but thank you for saving me…is this alright…?”

Himeji-san’s feeling really troubled, but she still awkwardly thanked me. No, it’s fine. If it’s for Himeji-san’s sake, this little thing…

“Himeji, don’t mind Akihisa. This has been his ambition for a long time anyway.”
“(GARRAK) Tamano Miki’s late, but she’s now here!”

“Tamano!? Who called you here!? Nobody can keep up with you in such conversations!”

“But someone called me by saying ‘homo’ here!”<ref>本望 – Ambition for a long time. Homo – read asほんもう</ref>

“Aren’t your ears a little too weird!? You’re mistaken here! Go back now!”

“Did I hear it wrongly…really, why must you get in my way? I’ve been thinking of getting memorial photos of Aki-chan and Takashiro-sempai here…”

“Hold on a minute, Tamano-san! I think I just heard some weird lines in the back!”

“Akhisa that’s enough! Letting her stay here is going to cause us nothing but trouble!”

“…‘I want to see your surprised expression’…the ‘terminal of friendship’…the ‘new world’…”

“WHY ARE YOU MUTTERING SUCH THINGS LIKE THEY’RE TITLES OR SOMETHING WHEN YOU’RE GOING BACK!? WHAT DEVELOPMENTS ARE YOU THINKING HERE!? WHERE DO YOU WANT TO PUBLISH THIS COLLECTION OF PHOTOS, DAMN IT!!”

Before my cries of agonies reached Tamano-san, she skipped out of 2-A’s classroom. Argh…to what extent is my pride going to be trampled on…?

“Hm…looks like I can’t continue talking like this now. Let’s start over again since it can’t be helped.”
My enemy as well as the mastermind behind this, Takashiro-sempai, continues on as he sees us in this commotion.

“Takashiro-sempai, can I speak with you for a moment?”

A male student stands in front of Takashiro-sempai.

“Hm? You’re the second ranked of the second years, Kubo Toshimitsu-kun right? What do you want with me?”

“Well, it’s very awkward to say such a thing to you, sempai—”

Kubo-kun nudged his glasses and warned Takashiro-sempai.

“—But I can’t just let you go back like this you know.”

And then, Kubo-kun lowered his upper body as he faced Takashiro-kun. To the serious Kubo-kun, I guess it’s really hard for him to accept the ridiculous proposal from the 3rd years. He may have sounded really calm, but I’ve never seen him so angry up till now.

“Kubo Toshimitsu-kun, if you have any objections about the proposal us 3rd years made—”

“That doesn’t matter now.”

Kubo-kun immediately denied this. What is he trying to do?

“Sempai, just let me beat you up or I won’t be able to relive my frustration”
“So you’re going to punch me once for the sake of your friend?”

“No, for Yoshii-kun’s—and my sake. Two punches altogether.”

Why is he counting me in this too?

“I see. I don’t like violence—but at this moment, it looks like I can only play along with you.”

“Even if you’re an upperclassman, there are some boundaries that are not meant to be crossed but you have crossed them. I’m going to beat you up with Yoshii-kun’s regret and my fury.”

Wh-why do things feel very complicated here…I have to say something, some joke to calm the situation now! Erm, erm…!

“Stop it you two! Don’t fight each other for my sake!”

“Don’t stop me here Yoshii-kun! I’ll take back your trampled pride for your sake!”

“Alright, Kubo Toshimitsu-kun, if you insist, I’ll be your opponent for now.”

“…”

What’s going on…they won’t stop no matter what I do now…!?

“Oi! Heroine! If you don’t do something, we’ll end up with a situation we can’t handle!”

“WHO’S THE HEROINE HERE, YOU IDIOT YUUJI!!?”
“First your lips were suddenly taken away, and now guys are fighting over you…aren’t you the heroine since you’re in the middle of all this?”

“……”

“What is it Akihisa?”

“…(Sobs)…(snivels)…”

“Wait! You’re really crying!?”

“Because Yuuji said (sobs) something really cruel to me (Snivels)”

“Don’t cry Akihisa. You’ll cause a bigger commotion if you keep crying here!”

“Damn it—! Either you or Takashiro-sempai can go kiss that old hag of a principal and become unfortunate! Consider this a wish from me!”

“WHO WOULD DO SUCH A THING HERE!?”

How selfish! He’s not going down to hell with me here. What kind of classmate is he!?

“Hey, Mizuki.”

“What is it, Minami-chan?”

“Exactly what happened in the end?

“I-I don’t really know…I came here late, so I’m not really informed…”

“I’ve been here right from the beginning, but I don’t understand what’s going on at all.”

“Ahh, that’s enough! You brats are really noisy! Quiet down a listen to me!”

''“““SHUT UP YOU MONSTER!!!”””''

The principal’s interference caused us to interrupt our showdown when we could nearly do so, and the class F members all shouted in unison as they were vexed because of this.

“Kubo Toshimitsu-kun and everyone from class F, please calm down”

Takashiro-sempai, who had a stareoff with Kubo-kun, stood in front of the principal while seemingly trying to mediate.

''“How do you expect everyone to calm down here! Someone interfered with our wish here!”''

''“And you made us see such a disgusting thing! How do you expect to compensate us here!?”''

''“You and that old hag can scram! Bring out Kogure-sempai!”''

The members of class F started yelling at Takashiro-sempai and the principal.

“Is that so? I understand why everyone’s unhappy here.”

Takashiro-sempai answered in an extremely calm manner.
“Obviously as everyone can see here, the principal indeed does not have a nice appearance.”

Is this really the main point of this issue?

“Takashiro-kun, that’s enough”

Kogure-sempai has the same idea as me, and although she tried to advise Takashiro-sempai, he continues on.

“The principal really isn’t pretty—and I can even say that her looks aren’t even average.”

“Please stop. Don’t continue on any further.”

“Ehh…I might even say that it’s more accurate to call her ugly!”

“Please calm down, Takashiro-kun! The principal will really become your enemy in this case.”

“Relax, Kogure. Right from the start, I’ve been treating everyone here as my enemy.”

“But people’s worth isn’t decided by their appearance! You have to listen to the principal even if she’s ugly! Even if she looks like this, she’s still able to talk with others here!”

“I understand now, Takashiro-kun. Looks like there’s still need to further educated you.”

Kogure-sempai herself may not have that intention, but she let out a sigh in a really bewitching manner.

Also, is Takashiro-sempai’s head really alright here…?

“Alright, we’ll leave Takashiro’s punishment to Kogure…now let’s get back to the main point about the ‘summoning war between the second years and third years’.”

It seems that the principal agreed to the fact that Takashiro-sempai needs to be punished as she changed the topic.

Upon hearing the summoning war issue pop up, Yuuji’s expression changed.

“Principal, let me get this straight. Do we have the right to refuse this war?”

“If there is, you don’t think that I’ll deliberately make my way here to interfere in your war, right?”

“That’s true. Just to be sure.”

Yuuji nodded away, seemingly expecting this.

That’s true, if we can reject the principal’s proposal even after her interference, she’ll really deserve a thousand deaths or more.”

''“So what about that? It’s enough for us to kill you here…!”''

''“We planned to use that large display for a viewing party…!”''

“How do you intend to compensate me when I was going to rub my face on Kirishima-san’s seat here…!”''
Never mind. It doesn’t matter whether it was the case or not, since the end would be the same for her either way.

The principal looks like she’s trying to appease the furious class as she tries to warn them not to do so yet.

“Anyway, there are still a lot of things you want to say to me, right? But you can leave it for the time being can’t you? You can boil me or roast me however you want after this anyway.”

“I understand. Once this is over, I’ll kill you without remorse here.”

“Eh?”

The principal answered in shock. What are you shocked about? You’re the one who said this. It’s not weird to have whatever outcome happen to you after this, right?

“A-anyway, The summoning war between the second and third years is an established thing so we can consider this to be a school event.”

Since it’s a school event, we naturally don’t have room to object. Of course, boycotting it is a completely different case altogether.”

“Let me ask you again, old hag. What’s being bet on this year?”

“The facilities of the respective years. The losing year has to give up its own A, B, C, classrooms, for the winner’s D, E, F classrooms.”

“In other words, as long as we win, we can get their A, B, C classrooms…?”

“That’s how it is.”

“Is that condition really fair to us?”

“Huh. They won’t give up anything even if they lose, right?”

“Eh?”

Yuuji said while nearly clicking his tongue. What’s going on?

“Think about it, Akihisa. There’s still 2 months before the 3rd years can have their study break. Even if they lose their facilities, they can just stay at home to study, and they don’t have to come to school to study at all.”

As the private Fumitzuki Gakuen is called a prep school, the free school period is earlier than the other schools. It’s true that the 3rd years don’t need to attend school starting from December onwards.

“In contrast, we second years have to study on until March next year. The benefits are the same, but the risks are different, which makes things unfair for us, right?”

“That’s not true, Sakamoto Yuuji-skun. We third years have given up on the ‘precious time before the exams’. Don’t you find that our risks are equal?”

“Well, in that case, how about we maintain the status quo for each other’s sake.”

“That’s a pity, but you can’t do that.”

A little boy suddenly appeared from behind Takashiro-sempai. It’s the overseas exchange student Linne-kun.

“Why not, Linne-kun?”

“Because I came here to watch this summoning war!”

“Eh? Is that so?”

“Un! So I’ll be troubled if you interrupt this war!”

Even if you tell us that…

“And this will be more troubling for you, isn’t it, Akihisa? This war will involve the sponsor’s mmm—”

“It’s not good to rattle off like this, brat.”

Linne-kun wanted to say something, but his mouth was covered by the principal from behind.

“Cough, I see…sorry Toudou.”

“Good that you understand.”

There’s probably some reason amongst the adults, but it seems that the principal doesn’t want Linne-kun from blurting it out.

“I don’t really understand the situation, but it seems that we’re not really at a loss of what to do.”

It seemed that Yuuji thought of something as he went over to Linne-kun.”

“Hm? What is it?”

“Oh brat, I think you said that you like tras—Akihisa, right?”

“Right, I really like tras—Akihisa!”

I resisted the urge to argue back.

“And then, you’re the representative reporting the situation in this school, right?”

“Right!”

“Then it’s simple. For your most beloved Akihisa, just report that this school is in great condition. All problems will be settle then.”

“I see! Nope!”

“…”

Ah, there’s a popped vein on Yuuji’s head.

“Why no? This idea’s really logical.”

“Because I like the cool Akihisa. I can see Akihisa’s cool side in a summoning war, so you have to do this!”

“Listen up, brat.”

Once he said this, Yuuji placed his hands on Linne-kun’s shoulders, and answered seriously,

“If you want to keep believing in that illusion, it’s best that you listen to me.”

“Oi Yuuji, you’re saying that a summoning war can kill someone’s illusion like that!?”

“I can’t stand it if this brat goes crazy due to despair.”

“There’s no problem! I only saw two summoning wars, but Akihisa’s really cool!”

In this situation, anyone can see that Linne-kun’s on my side here.

“Sakamoto Yuuji-kun, no matter what you said, the principal has already agreed to this summoning war. Let’s just treat it as a school official event .”

“Huh? So the third year upperclassmen are that obedient?”

Yuuji answered back Takashiro-sempai in a sarcastic manner. It seems that he’s still furious that the war with A class was interrupted.

“Pardon me for interrupting here.”

Hideyoshi, who had been observing things up till now, suddenly raised his hand.”

“What is it?”

“Hm, well, how about the second years can make peace with the third years and declare this contest as a draw? In this case, the third years won’t have to waste time that can be used to prepare for the exam.”

Hideyoshi’s proposal is good.

But,

“No, if you’re going to do such a stupid thing, I’ll tell the higher ups something bad here, you know?”

Linne-kun immediately refused.

“But Linne, your beloved Akihisa will feel troubled by this.”

“I said no! I like this cool Akihisa here! Akihisa will be sad if I end up not liking him!”

Linne-kun, I’m happy that you’re saying this about me, but this is like saying that I’m not likeable outside the summoning war.

“And Akihisa’s not only my hero! I know that!”

And then, he gives a meaning look at my pocket and Minami. My pocket should have a translated text of some random English book, right?

“Linne-kun, what’s on the paper you just gave me?”

“Un, it’s something really important.”

Something important to Linne-kun…it’s most likely something regarding the summoning war, or maybe about the school exchange thing.

Takashiro-sempai probably had the same idea as me as he lowers his head at me.

“I’m really sorry, Yoshii Akihisa-kun, but can you please hand me the paper he just mentioned?”

“Why?”

“Maybe there’s some personal career path written on it or something.”

“Career path?”

“Yeah. It’s really private.”

Speaking of which, what’s Takashiro-sempai’s personal career path. It’s useless to me even if I read it…what shall I do? I just feel annoyed if I just hand it over like this for some reason—

“I don’t feel this way, but are you somewhat in my personal information, Yoshii Akihisa-kun?”

“Take it, you damned thief—!”

I take out the letter from my pocket and throw it hard at Takashiro-sempai. What kind of joke is this! I don’t have any interest in this immature upperclassman at all! I like normal girls!

“Ah…the content of that letter isn’t about that…”

“Eh? What’s written on it then?”

“That? Erm…it’s really something private!”

No, I’ll say that I don’t have any interest in Takashiro-sempai’s private affairs at all.

“Good grief. We’re not getting anywhere at all.”

Upon seeing our rally here, the principal deliberately sighed.

“But principal, even if you want us to accept this immediately…”

“Be quiet. I’ve already said that this is already established right from the beginning. Don’t you find that it’s more constructive to talk about the details of some things rather than waste time like this?”

The principal said with a somewhat stern tone. It’s true that since we’ve decided to hold this summoning war, our conversations don’t have any meaning. Since our important war was already interfered with, there might not be much time left.

Upon hearing the principal say this, Yuuji deliberately snorts and answers,

“Tch, damned old granny…okay. I can’t accept this, but since I understand the reason behind this, let’s talk about this summoning war.”

“As expected of you, Sakamoto Yuuji-kun. That’s really a wise decision.”

“I’m not happy that you’re praising me, not at all.”

The conversation’s now getting into the main point.”

“Then, damned old granny, what are the rules of this summoning war?”

“It’s about the same as an ordinary summoning war.”

“So that means that it’ll end when the reps for both years are defeated, right?”

“That’s how it is.”

If we’re talking about the representatives for both years, the 3rd year’s rep will be Takashiro-sempai in front of me here—

“And considering that the battle was ended prematurely just now, the second years’ rep will be Shouko.”

—And it would end up like that.

“At the same time, there seems to be some special rule for the other class reps.”

“Right, as long as a class rep is defeated, all the members of that class will have to head to the remedial room.”

In others, if Yuuji is defeated, our F class will have to head to the remedial room. Should we take down the general immediately? Or do we weaken each other’s fighting strength by beating the class reps? It’s really hard to choose.

“Then what about the subjects of the summoning war? Us second years have a difference in choice of subjects compared to you, right?”

“That’s basically it. We’ll base it on the subjects tested in the National Center Test.”

“““The center test<ref>The National Center Test for University Admission, a standardized test in Japan (大学入試センター試験). It’s the nationwide equivalent of a college/university entrance exam. Test subjects are Civics, Geography and History, Japanese, Science, Maths, and Foreign Language. Do understand that Health Education isn’t a tested subject.</ref>!!?”””

Takashiro-sempai’s words caused everyone to be shocked.

Impossible, we’re using the Center Test’s subjects…we’re using the Center Test’s subjects for this summoning war!?

1. State the defensive position of Center Field in baseball <ref>The original is a translation from Japanese to English, so I’ll reverse it here. The answer is 中堅手, chuukente.</ref>
2. State the position closest to the hoop in basketball, the Center <ref>Same thing as above, answer is 中心, chuushin</ref>

What’s that upperclassman saying out of a sudden…!? Is he an idiot!? I can’t stand this no matter what!

“It’s really weird to have such unrelated subjects for such a thing here!”

“Oh my? Yoshii Akihisa-kun, if you don’t intend to take the Center Test, are you planning to enter a private school?”

“Private!? Please don’t say such an off-topic thing here, alright!?”

“Shush, Akihisa. The fact that you don’t have plans for your future may be leaked just like this, you know?”

I’m thinking about it! At least I know that I can’t possibly be a professional baseball player or a basketball player!

“Well, Akihisa-kun, please talk with me over there for a while. I’ll tell you everything about the Center Test, okay?”

Since Himeji-san says so, I follow her to a corner of A class. Himeji-san’s not too familiar with baseball rules, but she actually knows about the professional Center Test?

'''<What is the Center Test?> <ref>Author has kindly left this part in the story.</ref> '''

'''It’s an abbreviation of the National Center Test for University Admission, an independent administrative common Test that is held in the entire country at the same time. It is held before the universities begin their recruiting, and is held on the first weekend before January 13th.'''

“……”

“Akihisa, what is it? Why are you honest out of a sudden?”

“Maybe you don’t know about the Center Test at all, Yoshii Akihisa-kun?”

“No, that’s not it. Well, I just mixed it up with the sports recommendation thing there. It’s not like I don’t know about it…”

Upon hearing my answer, Takashiro-sempai shrugs his shoulders in an exaggerated manner.

“…As expected, such a person who doesn’t plan ahead can’t be with you, Miss Himeji Mizuki.”

“No, this isn’t it! Akihisa-kun’s just a little bad at studying and common sense, and he doesn’t know about current affairs, that’s all! It’s not like he doesn’t plan ahead!”

“Yeah, Himeji’s right! You should be praising him for not mixing up the term ‘center’ with the ‘setter’ in volleyball!”

“Okay okay, Aki’s working hard already. I believe he’s a kid who can succeed as long as he works hard at it, you know?”

Uu…no matter whose opinion is it here, the damage to my pride is really great here…!

As I’m thinking about this issue of pride, Yuuji immediately gets back to the topic at hand.

“But since the test subjects selection is based on the Center Test, isn’t it beneficial for you upperclassmen?”

“But this is the best choice for both parties, right? Our Fumitzuki Gakuen here is a prep school after all.”

Takashiro-sempai smiles as he receives Yuuji’s glare.

“Then, what about health education? Do we scrap that subject completely?”

“I suggested it to the principal…”

“But I can’t allow this here. Both second and third years are studying health education. Are you unhappy about having this as a tested subject?”

Without health education, the fighting strength of our F class will drop drastically. I really want to support the principal for making this decision here.

“Then, I suppose my explanation ends here. The summoning war will happen a week later, and I’ll notify you of any further rules later.”

The principal ends this conversation with an urgency of wanting to end her explanation.

“Hm? A week later?”

“Are you unhappy about this?”

“No, this isn’t what I mean…”

I might say it’s a good situation for us second years here. A week is enough time for us to replenish all our depleted points in the summoning war completely. Takashiro-sempai probably knows this as he asks the principal for confirmation again.

“Principal-sensei, do you seriously want carry this out a week later?”

“You’re noisy here, Takashiro. Didn’t I say that the scale of this war is going to be 6 times that of before, and that I need the time to prepare?”

“So that’s how it is…”

If this is really the case, it’ll be really strange. Since there’s still a week left, why must she deliberately make her way here to stop our battle? We were so close here.

“The war will begin a week later at 9am. The entire school will be used for this. Do prepare well before the day of the war.”

The principal left these words, and left the classroom.

“Un…ah, never mind. You’ll now about what’s written on that letter one day, Akihisa. Don’t mind too much about it!”

“Sorry to intrude on the second years. I’m really looking forward to the summoning war next week.”

And then, Linne-kun and Kogure-sempai proceed out of the classroom.

Just when I suspect that Takashiro-sempai will stay here, he proceeds to walk towards me. What does he want..?

“Takashiro-sempai, you still have something you want with me?”

“Do relax, Yoshii Akihisa-kun. I’m not looking for you now. But since there’s a chance now, I want to talk with Miss Himeji Mizuki here.”

The moment Takashiro-sempai said this, I immediately got in front of Himeji-san to prevent him from approaching her.

“I’m sorry, Yoshii Akihisa-kun, but can you let me through?”

“It can’t be helped, Takashiro-sempai. Since you intended to do something strange to Himeji-san just now, I can’t let you approach her again.”

If you want to forcefully kiss Himeji-san again, I’ll send you flying.

“As expected of you, Akihisa, your readiness to kiss a man is not just for show here.”

“…Are you addicted to it?”

“Akihisa’s moving further and further away from us here…”

“Aki…”

W-well, I’m mentally prepared to take this level of disaster for Himeji-san’s sake…but I really want to avoid such a situation here.

“I’m really sorry, but I want to talk with Miss Himeji Mizuki, not you.”

Takashiro-sempai intends to ignore my existence, and immediately heads off to Himeji-san.

“Is that so? I’ll pass on your words to her then.”

At this moment, I got right between them to prevent sempai from moving.

“I want the two of us to talk together. Can you please move aside for now?”

“I understand now. Himeji-san said ‘please wait for me in the incinerator. I’ll go over there once I find a matchstick or a lighter’.”

“My Miss Mizuki won’t say such a thing…!”

“WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY ‘MY’ HERE…!”

Sempai continues to use his footwork and feints to get past me, and I try my best to block his body. Our battle’s like a one vs one duel in basketball or soccer here.

After a little struggle, we both stop at the same time, and our shoulders are heaving as we pant.

“Haa…haa…you’ll be hated if you’re too annoying, sempai.”

Himeji-san now doesn’t look like she likes Takashiro-sempai, but it’s best to agitate him now.

“Annoying? Being hated? What are you saying, Yoshii Akihisa-kun?”

In response to my words, Takashiro-sempai seems rather surprised as he shrugs his shoulders.

“What’s there to be hated in this enthusiasm from my overflow of love here?”

“Everyone normally call such a person a ‘stalker’.”

He probably doesn’t realize it himself.

“…The enthusiasm from the overwhelming love…I can understand this.”

“Kirishima-san!? You mustn’t understand such a thing—I want to say this, but I think that you two have similar thoughts here!”

Kirishima-san nods away as she looks at us.

“Yep. It’s just like what the second year valedictorian said. Enthusiasm is an outstanding weapon. Nobody’s unhappy about being confessed to by the opposite gender, I suppose? I believe these feelings will be accepted by her one day.”

“If this sort of thinking is correct, I believe there won’t be a thing called unrequited love here!”

And the term ‘stalker’ most probably won’t appear.

“But Yoshii Akihisa-kun. Please calm down and think. Since the second and third years valedictorian have the same view, the answer should be obvious, right?”

Wha-what’s going on…? I should be the correct side, but I’m being attacked by this weird logic. Is-is there anything I can use to argue back?”

''“Speaking of which, the girl I’ve been concerned with recently seems to be tailed by a stalker recently.”''

''“Is that so? That’s really scary. I think I shall strengthen the security around her because I’m worried.”''

''“I’ll do this too. I better watch around her house for her sake.”''

“Right! You see this, sempai? What you described and what these F class people plan to do is basically the same thing! This sort of thinking is definitely wrong!”

“No, they’ll be the only ones who’ll be viewed as disgusting stalkers.”

“YOU’RE BEING TOO OVERBOARD HERE!”

Because of Takashiro-sempai’s words, killing intent immediately erupted everywhere in this classroom. The difference in thought process between us and this upperclassman is probably so deep that nothing can bury it anymore…well, leaving aside what those three look like, they’re basically doing what stalkers do, so it’s necessary to report them to the police later.

“Do you understand, Yoshii Akihisa-kun? Even if there’s nothing special about it, she’ll be happy if I devote all my time to interact with her, right?”

“What are you saying!? Kirishima-san’s enthusiasm to snap Yuuji’s neck forcefully is because of her heart as a young cute maiden, but what you’re doing is a crime here!”

I think I just heard Yuuji’s voice, but I just have to ignore it now.

Just when I’m feeling that Kirishima-san will probably be angry at this, I glance aside at her,

“…”

But she has her hand at her lips, seemingly thinking about something.

“What is it, Kirishima-san?”

“…Hm.”

Kirishima-san nods slightly as she answers me.

“…I was just thinking. If what sempai said was true, why did Yuuji not express his love to me…?”

Kirishima-san is in deep thought. In what aspect is she thinking of here?

Hmmm…there are all sorts of reasons here…

“That’s definitely because—”

Just when I want to explain,

“Anyway, Miss Mizuki, can I have some of your time?”

Takashiro-sempai approaches Himeji-san during this pause. Damn it, this guy’s really annoying…!

“Ahh, that’s enough! Please behave and leave Himeji-san!”

I got in front of Himeji-san and face Takashiro-sempai.

“I’m talking to Miss Mizuki here. Please don’t get in our way.”

Takashiro-sempai intends to avoid me as he approaches Himeji-san.

“Sorry, but there’s nothing I want to talk about with Takashiro-sempai…”

And Himeji-san firmly refuses him even though she looks really scared. What’s going on? For some reason, I feel that this is the first time Himeji-san’s avoiding someone like this.

In response to her rejection, Takashiro-sempai places his hand in front of his chest, and loudly proclaims with a serious look.

“Miss Mizuki, you are mistaken about me. I don’t have any intent of harming here. I just want to tell you a good news.”

“What? The good news is…”

“Yes. There’s a chance that the mentioned thing beforehand can be cancelled.

“Re-really?”

Upon hearing Takashiro-sempai’s words, Himeji-san appears from behind me. Takashiro-sempai then looks really happy as he sees her approach him, and says,

“I lied.”

At that moment, Himeji-san’s face became gloomy.

“That’s too much, Takashiro-sempai…this lie is too much…”

“I really sorry, but I guess this is the only way I get to talk with you.”

Takashiro-sempai apologizes with a sincere look, but is he really feeling sorry? It really seems suspicious because of that smile before this.

“Miss Himeji Mizuki, please don’t make such a sad face. Your distressed look is really the scariest form of torture to me…”

“Please don’t lie to me anymore. You’ll just bully me, Takashiro-sempai. It was the same for just now. We finally managed to get the chance to get A class’ facilities…”

“These things are done for your sake, Miss Himeji Mizuki.”

? Takashiro-sempai said something weird. We’re getting A class facilities for her sake, so why is it that this interference is considered helping her?

“It’ll take some time, but I believe you will trust me one of these days. The same goes for the issue about the sister school—”

“P-PLEASE DON’T TALK ABOUT THAT HERE!”

Himeji-san suddenly exclaimed loudly, and I inadvertently widen my eyes.

“But that thing will soon…”

“Even so, now’s not the time to talk about this, right?”

Himeji-san is really angry here, and her face is flushed red. Wha-what’s going on? Why is Himeji-san feeling so stressed here?

“Miss Himeji Mizuki, please calm down and listen to me.”

“No! Please return back.”

Even as Takashiro-sempai tries to calm Himeji-san down, Himeji-san won’t give him room to talk. I suppose Takashiro-sempai can’t continue on like this now.

“…I understand. I’ll take my leave today, Miss Mizuki, and I do sincerely apologize for making you unhappy.”

He says as he lowers his head deeply. It seems that he’s really sorry for angering Himeji-san.

And then, he lifts his head, and holds Himeji-san by the hands.

“I can’t really call it an apology, but may I know if you can have a meal with me next time—”

“Himeji-san’s not willing at all, Takashiro-sempai, so can you please head back now?”

I grab his hand from aside viciously.

[[Image:BTS vol 11 037.jpg|thumb]]

“…Yoshii Akihisa-kun, can you please let go?”

“I refuse.”

At that moment alone, I feel that he’s showing a different expression, a hard glare.

“…Humph…”

After that, Takashiro-sempai glares at me with a cold expression.

“Is there anything?”

I was incensed by those eyes, and subconsciously increase the harshness in my voice.

“No, it’s just that I have a few thoughts after seeing your actions.”

“Thoughts?”

“Yes. I’m thinking that since you have the time to get in my way, how about you spend the time reflecting?”

Takashiro-sempai says this as he shakes off my hand in an effortless and smart manner.

“So, what do you want to say?”

Anyway, since he has already let go of Himeji-san’s hand, I retract my own.

It seems that Takashiro-sempai’s telling off a student with bad grades as he continues.

“A long time, I saw how noble you were during the summoning tournament of the Cool Summer Festival. You were completely different from the rumors back then. You looked like a student that could be an outstanding student.”

Speaking of the Cool Summer Festival, it would be the battle I had with the Toko-Natsu pair. I’m not too sure what he’s trying to get at, but it’s not a bad feeling to be praised.

“No, it’s not that much, actually.”

“But after that, you never changed at all. It’s like you never matured at all.”

Looks like I was convinced too early…

“I-I did mature a little.”

“Do you feel your grades are good enough for A class?”

“…”

I can’t argue back at all.

“This is what I want to say. You say that you want to get A class facilities, but you’re not studying hard. You’re not working hard at all.”

This criticism pierce into my chest sharply.

And then, Takashiro-sempai takes a deep breath.

“How much meaningless time did you spend after that?”

He shows me an expression of wanting to knock me out, and says that to me decisively.

“Pardon me, but it seems that I delayed everyone quite a bit. See you for now. And Miss Himeji Mizuki, let’s meet again when you’re free.”

Takashiro-sempai raises his hand to bid farewell to Himeji-san, and then,

“Yoshii Akihisa-kun, a man being jealous is not cute at all.”

The last line was said to be deliberately just loud enough for me to hear, and then, he leaves the classroom.

“…”

I got hit in one vital point after another, and I can’t even groan.

I never matured. I never worked hard. Right, that’s how it was.

But even so—

“ARGH—! THAT’S ENOUGH! THOSE DIGS AT ME ARE REALLY FRUSTRATING!”

“““!!!??”””

My outburst shocks Hideyoshi, Muttsurini and the others standing near me.

“What’s the matter, Aki? Just let him say what he wants.”

“Yeah, and it’s a matter of fact that you haven’t matured at all up till now.”

“You think so too!? Do you think that I never matured at all!?”

“Are you an idiot…I knew this before that guy did. We’re…friends, right?”

“I CAN’T SEE ANYTHING THAT CONFIRMS THAT WE’RE FRIENDS HERE!!!”

ARGH! THAT’S ENOUGH! IT’S REALLY FRUSTRATING!

“Anyway, calm down for now. Now’s not the time for idle chit-chat, right?”

Muu…I don’t find it idle, but there’s something more important than my pride here, just like what Yuuji said.

“Are you alright, Himeji-san?”

“Eh? Ah, yes.”

Once Takashiro-sempai left, Himeji-san’s angry expression disappeared, and she’s now looking gloomy.

“Then, there’s nothing troubling you, right?”

“It-it’s fine! I’m really alright!”

Himeji-san says this, but she’s obviously lying. There’s probably something she’s hiding in her conversation with Takashiro-sempai just now.

“Anyway, the summoning war’s cancelled. Let’s head back for now.”

“Right. Oi everyone! Let’s go back!”

Yuuji’s command cause everyone to leave A classroom slowly.

“…”

On the way back, I suddenly thought of something.

Takashiro-sempai knows the thing Himeji-san’s hiding from us. This really makes my heart uneasy.
