Our job was done. The Kansai students were all rethinking their lives after being punched or slashed into the Tama River. People from Osaka are apparently a lot sturdier than us, so it took some doing.

At any rate, I was sitting on a guardrail up on the riverbank when Senpai walked up to me and spoke.

“Now I have even more to worry about.”

He sat on the road. He held his sword in his arms and hung his head, but instead of weary, he looked more…how should I put it? There was a hint of impatience there and you hurried over to him.

But he held out a hand to stop your approach.

“That would only give me more to worry about. Keep at last 5m away from me.”

“What about me?” I asked.

“Why would I suck a boy’s blood?”

Oh, so that’s what this was about. Your face was pale with worry, so I waved a hand to tell you to calm down.

You gave me a “we’re having pork cutlets for dinner?” gesture back.

We were not communicating very well.

I gave a simple “go away” gesture and you didn’t look happy about it.

Whatever. I sighed and spoke to Senpai.

“You haven’t changed at all since I first met you, huh?”

“I have grown since then,” he said with a sigh. “But yes, I have not changed. Including the fact that only person in the world is capable of stopping me.”

'''Author Comment:

A look at something like a weakness in Senpai.

The protagonist and Senpai are friendly with each other, but I think it may be Senpai that lets it be that way.
