OreShura: Volume 2 Chapter 2

Chapter 2 A Maiden's Poem is Mayhem

After a restless night, morning came.

Ever since the love letters came, I couldn’t study no matter how much I tried. With my mind unable to concentrate, I procrastinated late into the night, and by the time I fell asleep it was already three o’clock in the morning.

As I rubbed my bleary sleepy eyes on the way to school, Chiwa, who was walking next to me, put on the appearance of a big sister and asked me worriedly: "Did you stay up all night studying? Or is there something on your mind? You can always consult with me about it."

Well --

By just looking at the way she acted, Chiwa couldn't possibly have anything to do with this.

She was not the kind of person who could pretend & play dumb, I'm the one that knows that the best.

But if that is the case, I could not think of anyone else who would want to "bind ourselves together like in the distant past."

Although this isn’t anything to brag about, in Elementary and Middle School, I had almost no female friends. If I trace my memory back to kindergarten, there is actually one; but her name and appearance has already faded from my memory, thus I couldn’t confirm it.

With my head in a daze, the day went by. After school --

"Somehow, you don't seem to have any energy today, Eita-kun."

The moment I entered the clubroom, I saw Masuzu with her eyebrows furrowed.

"Yeah, I didn’t sleep well."

"That’s not good. Even though it’s right before exams, you shouldn’t stay up all night."

What she said was practically the same as what Chiwa said this morning. She smiled sweetly:

"Well, you can use our poetry to get rid of your sleepiness."

"Oh, you’ve finished it?"

Chiwa, who was eating a pork cutlet sandwich, stood proudly straight with an "Of course!"

"I’ve always felt that when I bring a pen to paper, it is very fluid! We’ve completed very powerful masterpiece~! The members will certainly be surprised!"

"R-r-really."

Chihuahua, what about studying for exams?

On her last midterm exam, it seemed like her paper was an entire filled entirely with red…

"Well, why don’t we start with Harusaki-san’s presentation."

"We’re reading it right here?"

"After all that difficulty, you’ve finally written a poem. If you’re not going to read it, what are you going to do with it?"

Chiwa privately turned to herself, and murmured to herself: "Eeh ~ what should I do~?" Her body twitched back and forth nervously, and the sight of her do that was very annoying. Who was this girl? Her character changed so much.

"Then, forgive my baldness!"

She must have meant to say, “forgive my boldness.” I was not tsukkomi-ing.

Chiwa stood in front of the whiteboard, surrounded by the attention of Masuzu and me, and began to read aloud her poem.

"For Bonds with You, Wan-Wan, Nya" lyricist / cyute Chihuahua.


♪ Love love, wanwan wanwan nya ~ 

♪ hey hey hey you, hey you,

♪ cut my hair, did you notice?

♪ it’s only 3 centimeters, but did you notice? 

♪ so the distance between us is only 3 cm 

♪ the bindings between us is only 3 cm 

♪ to shorten it to wan cm, I will try my best? 


♪ Love love, wanwan wanwan nya ~ (repeat x3) 

"......"

"......"

Coming up with as response was very difficult, as I did not know how to react to poetry.

I was expecting a more run-off-the-tracks work, but I never imagined it would be about the feelings of a “maiden.” If this had been written by an elementary school child, maybe it would be praiseworthy… but it was already freshman year of high school. One couldn’t write, “wan wan nya” At the very least, you first have first make it clear out whether it's meant to be a cat or a dog.

Even so......

What was with your "bindings"?

So, after a surprising new direction, was Chiwa the person wrote the letter?

No, I am over-thinking it......

"Hey, what did you think?"

Chiwa’s eyes glittered with brilliant light. She looked at Masuzu and me, as if she wanted to say, "Praise me, praise me ♪". If this girl were really a Chihuahua, she would definitely be wagging her shaggy tail right now.

Masuzu had originally been silent with her head down, but --

"...Frivolous."

"Huh?"

"It is really, incomparably frivolous!"

She stood up and slammed the table.

"Harusaki-san, what did you turn the poem into? What is the purpose of this frivolous writing, what's with the“Love love", what's with the "wan wan"? Did you really think you could use that to demonstrate a maiden’s soul?!"

Masuzu really became angry.

Even though Chiwa was a little frightened, she still said:

"W-w-what!? love love & wan wan are also very cute, aren't they?!"

"Furthermore about the theme, what's with love and what's with romance? That's where you went wrong in the first place. That’s called a“lovestruck mindset”. You never thought about showing the essence of human kind, or the hesitation of a lonely soul ––– Aaaah, forget it! Facts speak louder than words!"

From the bag on the chair next to her, Masuzu took out a notebook.

The cover had a very familiar coke stain.

Right, that was my notebook from eighth grade!

"Waitwaitwaitwaitwaitwait Masuzu! What do you think of doing?!"

"Here, I’ll let you listen to the real poetry HE wrote! And then tremble under it's magnificence!"

“This world is rotten” lyricist / BURNING FIGHTING FIGHTER


♪ This world is corrupt 

♪ so let me punish it

♪ you assume I’m a child, and you mess with me? 

♪ everyone calls me "Rampaging Animal" (Beast)

♪ I will turn everything into nothing (Zero) 

♪ me me me me me, oh! Zero! 


Stating "Now we just hold these dirty wings tightly..." 


♪ Oh yeah, adults are so dirty ~ 

♪ Oh yeah, adults are so dirty ~ 

♪ Oh yeah, adults are so dirty ~ 

♪ Oh yeah, adults are so dirty ~ (Fu-Fu-!) 

"Aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Stoppp iiittttttttttttttttttttttt!!"

It hurts.

It hurts it hurts it hurts it hurts, it hurts!

It hurts. A lotttttttttttttttt!

"What do you think, Harusaki-san?"

Masuzu gorgeously ignored me rolling about on the floor, and smiled proudly.

"This is the emergence of the lonely soul, real poetry is supposed to be like this. Can you understand the difference between your levels?"

Chiwa snorted and said:

"Like hell I'll understand! What is a "Rampaging Animal" (Beast), some kind of rural gang? At the very least pick a better name!"

I'm sorry.

" And the, "Oh! Zero," part, too. What kind of taste is that? Why are you using a Samba rhythm? All of this is trashy writing on pretentious spirits. It sucks!"

I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry.

"Adults are so dirty", is so serious! Is there a reason to repeat it four times? Does he have some kind of hatred with adults?"

"I’m sorry I’m sorry! At that time, my test scores were really bad, and my allowance was reduced. I was in a bad mood, so please forgive me!"

"Why is Ei-kun crying?"

The tears in my face dripped stickily, and snivel streamed from my nose, falling close to Chiwa’s feet.

So dirty......

I really am just the dirtiest......

"Oh right, that poem was written by “the guy of the notebook”? , what did you write?"

Chiwa said this as she wiped my face with tissue paper.

"Fufu, you want to hear it?"

"Don’t delay it with an act! Just speak, and I will enjoy laughing at it!"

"Fine."

With a serious look on her face, Masuzu took out a sheet of paper and began to read aloud.

"A Beautiful New World Not Known to Anyone" lyricist / SUMMER_RIVER. 


♪ Let’s go, no need to cry anymore

♪ as long as I’m with Eita-kun, I’m not afraid 

♪ lun! lun! lun! 

♪ turn over mountains, cross the sea, climb over valleys,

♪ then we’ve arrived at the promised place

♪ Harusaki-san did not respond 

♪ just like a corpse 

"Why did I die?"

With a loud voice, Chiwa tried to tsukkomi.

"Why? Why the body? What happened after turning over mountains, crossing the sea, an climbing over valleys?"

"It was unfortunate, probably the attack of an enemy STAND."

Masuzu finished the tea in her cup, sighed, and looked as if she felt accomplished.

"Oh, and why is it only you and Ei-kun together?"

"Since this is our club’s theme song, so I incorporated an easy-to-understand relationship between club members."

"Ah? If that’s the case then I also...!"

Chiwa violently scribbled something rapidly on her notebook.

"I’m finished with my new work! You two should listen to me carefully!"

"Childhood friendship is very good, very very good!" lyricist / cyute Chihuahua 


♪ Since little we always always

♪ Ei-kun and I had a close relationship

♪ I must take good care of Ei-kun, who is like a little brother 

♪ look, look, there’s bento food stuck on your cheeks 

♪ okay, okay, I’ll help you clean it up

♪ hey Ei-kun, look over there

♪ Natsukawa Masuzu is a rotting corpse

"Fum...... rotting corpse......"

The temples on Masuzu’s face twitched as she mumbled to herself.

"When you were flirting with Eita-kun, what happened to my body in the end?"

"Who knows? Isn’t it because an enemy sutando attacked you?"

Chiwa said as she happily chewed on her Japanese-style pancake.

Masuzu slowly stood up.

"Since you’ve decided to do this, I, Natsukawa Masuzu, will not hold back!"

With her eyes burning with flames, Chiwa also stood up.

"If you think you can do it, then give it a tryyyyyy!"

--Thus, the world’s worst poetry contest began.

♪ Eita-kun and I are lovers, love love kyun

♪ the brainless childhood friend’s today as well shows useless resistance

♪ she gets kicked by a horse, it's ok if she dies

♪ Ei-kun and I are childhood friends forever, always very close

♪ the bindings between us will last until forever 

♪ meddlesome Natsukawa is a light bulb

♪ just step on poop and die! 

Ah, by the way.

What was I doing this entire time? Of course, I was studying my books for final exams.

Anyways, after all, Japan’s education qualifications are of high level!

♦

When the skies outside finally began to dim, the two of them were finally exhausted of their efforts.

"T-today, let’s just count it a tie..."

"Fine, it’s getting really late anyways."

Chiwa’s shoulders rose up and down, largely gasping for air, as Masuzu brushed aside hair damp with sweat from her cheeks. The two of them temporarily concluded with a truce.

"...Then, what are we going to do about the theme song?"

I asked them this as I picked up my schoolbag with my studying materials. Masuzu nodded and said:

"That's kinda bothersome. Why don't we just mix everything together?"

"This Rotten wanwan is a New World" lyricist / “Society for Bringing Out Your Maiden Self”


♪ Love Love wanwan wanwan nya~ 

♪ everyone calls me "Rampaging Animal" (Beast) 

♪ Harusaki-san is just a corpse

♪ oh yeah, adults are so dirty ~ 

♪ Natsukawa Masuzu is a rotting corpse

♪ oh yeah, adults are so dirty ~ 

♪ Eita-kun also incidentally died

♪ oh yeah, adults are so dirty ~ 

♪ love love wanwan wanwan nya~ (Fu-Fu-!) 

"Why did I end up dying?!"

I raised my voice because they had really overdone it.

"But, Eita-kun is way too sly for trying to be the only surviving one"

"Exactly Ei-kun! It would be too frustrating if you are the only one left!"

Only on this issue, can the maidens unanimously agree in unison.

The “Society for Bringing Out Your Maiden Self” has chosen a theme song!

And they’ve also ensured that the disciplinary committee will be watching!

New members definitely, definitely, definitely will not come!
