OreShura: Volume 3 Chapter 10

Chapter 10 Revive, Mayhem

The morning after the fireworks festival.

Because today was a first day of school, I was going to regular school rather than cram school.

"Ah—I really don’t want to go......"

I woke up in a bad mood because of the quarrel yesterday, and to top it all, that cursed ringtone gave me a visit.

[Subject] Such a wonderful afternoon

[Text] To be in the fireworks festival with Fuyuumi-san. Was it fun?

'S-She found out about that already?"

No wait, it was Masuzu, so maybe it was just her regular way of talking.

I’ll act like I don’t know anything, then!

[Subject] Today’s Breakfast

[Text] I like half-cooked poached eggs. 

The reply came instantly:

[Subject] Re: Today’s Breakfast

[Text] I like freshly dug out eyes. 

"......"

Even if it feels like a joke at first glance, to reply back to me and such a curious manner.

That being said, Perhaps Masuzu-san could be actually be really angry……?

♦

When I just arrived at school, Masuzu dragged me to the roof.

Even though it was only 8 o’clock, the sun was very strong—

"Well, which eye would you like me to dig out first?"

"I’m sorry Masuzu-san!"

I lowered my head to one level prior to dogeza towards Masuzu. Heh? Pride? Haha! Ridiculous.

Masuzu folded her arms, and sighed:

"What is the meaning of this? After refusing girlfriend’s invitation, to actually secretly go to the fireworks festival with Fuyuumi Ai."

"H-How did you know?"

"You are still playing innocent? Yesterday, a student saw you two meet at school in the evening."

Damn......

But that being said, even though it was summer, there were still club activities. Although we didn’t see anyone on the fields, it wasn’t surprising that we were seen.

Masuzu actually seemed angry. She didn’t have her usual calm and circular cynicism. Rather, the details of her speech seemed to exude quite a dangerous atmosphere.

"Well, if you have any excuses, please go ahead."

"Ah, well."

Because there was no way I could explain it honestly—

"To be honest, I arranged a date with Fuyuumi a long time ago, from even before the club. It really was a date that we arranged a really, really long time ago, but I forgot about it. When Fuyuumi said it, I finally remembered, thus I couldn’t reject her. If I had, I would have betrayed a lot of things."

"And what is that ｢a lot of things｣?"

"Just a pile of ｢small and shameful memories｣."

I scratched my head and laughed.

"Even though it was that kind of memory, it was still my own memory; and even though it was a memory so embarrassing I wanted to die, it was still my own memory."

Regardless of the truth, I was trying to honestly express my feelings.

Otherwise, regardless if it was Fuyuumi and Masuzu, I would be lying to them both.

Masuzu shook her head immediately after she heard it:

"I don’t want to hear any excuses!"

"Heh?"

But, didn’t you just say you wanted to listen to me……?

"Don’t use words to apologize. Let your actions speak for you."

"Then what should I do?"

"You don’t even know about that kind of thing?"

Masuzu stared at me with stern eyes while she poked her right cheek.

"A Kiss."

"Ah?"

"The same amount of time that you spent with Fuyuumi yesterday, by that amount kiss your girlfriend!"

With such a ridiculous request, she really just hates to lose.

"When you say how much time, I actually don’t remember."

"You really don’t get it! For this kind of thing, just an approximation will do."

"Then it was probably around thirty minutes."

Masuzu’s eyes went wide as she heard that.

"I-is for that long? How indecent. Are you trying to get me pregnant?"

"You are the one who told me to do it!"

"...........Well, then let's reduce it to 3 minutes, with that I'll forgive you."

So it was like that.

I faced Masuzu, and put my hand on her shoulder.

Although Masuzu had kissed me several times, this was my first time taking the initiative……

"Fun, why are you getting afraid by something of the level of a kiss?"

"J-Just shut up! I can’t help it!"

"I said it before, right? For anti-love people like us, a kiss is merely a contact of a mouth to a mouth. Moreover, this is just a kiss against the cheek, and you’re actually so jumpy about this? There is no reason."

"Aaa, Enough!"

I angrily put my lips on Masuzu’s face.

Yes, even though it was a kiss, it gave out this feeling that I was embracing her—I made every effort to prevent my front teeth from touching her.

Even so, Masuzu’s cheeks seemed to melt as my lips touched her smooth skin.

I had to endure my urge to faint.

—Well, it was about three minutes.

I removed my lips, and Masuzu’s clam expression seemed to say, ｢Ara, it’s over already?｣

"With this, can you forgive me?"

I asked, my breath unsteady. Masuzu tilted her head and properly pushed her hair aside:

"Fwine, So AI’ll fworgiv yu."

"......"

"......"

That's not how we articulate, Masuzu-san.

"Nn? Nn? What? Did I just hear correctly? ｢Fwine｣?"

"Fine, So I’ll forgive you."

"Bu~~t that wasn't what I actually heard, is it~~? ｢fwogiv yu"｣? Would you let me hear it once more? ~ That cute voice from that line—?"

I took the opportunity to tease her. Masuzu’s face became really red, and ever her ears blushed.

That being said, she was an ordinary girl in the end. My eyes became gentle, and—

"As expected, I can't forgive you!"

"Why? I did as you said!"

"Because I don’t like how your eyes look. I won't do unless I gouge them out.."

"Don’t joke!"

Really, my girlfriend is too willful.

♦

In the afternoon.

The first day of school was over, and I was about to go home.

Fuyuumi Ai was wearing the armband of the disciplinary committee as she walked into Class 1-A

"Natsukawa Masuzu, Kidou Eita, please come to the disciplinary committee room."

Fuyuumi only said these words quickly before she rapidly turn around, and I didn’t see any of her ｢A-chan｣ expression from yesterday. She was the usual demon disciplinary committee member.

Masuzu tilted her head, puzzled, and said:

"What is it?"

"I don’t know. I guess we can only go and find out."

We followed the instruction to the come to the disciplinary committee room, and saw that Chiwa and Hime were already there. However, including Fuyuumi, I didn’t see a trace of any of the disciplinary committee members.

"Chiwa, Hime, you two were also called here?"

"It's rude! To suddenly call people here."

"But since it’s Master's command, you must obey."

At this point, Fuyuumi finally entered.

As she looked at us, she didn't had that stern usual expression.

"Sorry to keep you waiting. I went to the faculty room for a moment."

"Faculty room......?"

What was it? Did it have to do with how the club was shut down?

They can’t have issued a more severe punishment than shutting down the club? If that was the case, I could only image suspension and expulsion. But I didn’t think we did anything that severe……

Chiwa and Masuzu seemed to have a similar train of thought, and their expressions were rather stiff.

Then Fuyuumi—

Like she did when she announced the club would be shut down, she used a marker to write a few words on the whiteboard.

That is—

"Club shutdown is canceled!"

"Aaaaahhhhhh?"

Apart from Hime, the three of us cried out together.

Fuyuumi faced us, and gave ｢Fufun｣ laugh with her nose. She smiled as she said

"Aren't you going to thank me? This was something I proposed to the teacher."

"Proposal? Proposed what?"

"I told the teach that my evaluation that ｢The Society for Bringing Out Your Maiden Self｣ was harmful, was actually my mistake."

"And what actually happened to let that mood of yours change like that?"

Fuyuumi stared at Masuzu wary expression, and fearlessly smiled:

"Because I'm interested, in those club activities of yours!"

"Interested?"

"When you say, ｢to become popular｣, that's also to be ｢more adept in love｣, right? This idea in itself, for all girls of marriageable age, is shared between them all. Thus, we cannot deny this feeling, The more you suppress it, the bigger the threat that it will run out of control."

"So in conclusion you want to say?"

"In other words—you need a ｢Master｣ that can guide you on the correct path of pure love!"

"Aaahhhhhhh?"

The three of us cried out together, again.

On the other hand, only Hime nodded and said, ｢Great｣. Who was this girl? When did she start to worship Fuyuumi?

Then, Fuyuumi’s expression suddenly turned easygoing and approachable:

"In short, due to my connections, I can supervise, coach, and participate in your club, along with help cancel your club shut-down. I’m proposing to you advice as someone who has a boyfriend. Happy, right?"

"Definitely not—happy at all!"

Chiwa roared aloud.

"Stop joking! Why would we let you in our club?!"

Fuyuumi retorted, unwilling to lose:

"It’s not like I'll join your club. I'll give you lessons."

"Kiiiiiiiiiii——! What is this?! Who asked for you for that?!"

As Chiwa quarreled with Fuyuumi, from beside them:

"Well, because our situation is rather urgent, and there doesn't seem to be any other choice…… if it can prevent our club from being shut down, then we will take another person."

Masuzu’s pose expressed consent.

"Master’s entrance into the club has the strength of 100 people. So the day that I become popular and make Eita hug me will come closer."

Hime was just Hime. She had a very welcoming look.

Then it came to me—because of this new fire, I clutched my head, very troubled.

"This, again......"

I have a feeling this mayhem will get worse…….

Fuyuumi whispered to me in the ear:

"I will definitely make you stamp the ｢Marriage Registration Form｣. Prepare yourself!"

Cold sweat dripped down from my spine.

Strange.

Too strange!

My own summer, should have been nothing but a ｢hard working summer｣, right......?

"Then I’ll give you guys a demonstration right now! I’ll borrow Kidou-kun to demonstrate how I usually go on dates with Michel!"

"Why is it Ei-kun? You can just bring Michel here!"

"N-No! And ikemen such as him would blind you all! Kidou-kun is better for this!"

"Is it possible that Michel can also use Dragonic Aura (DRAGONIC AURA)? If so, he’s really worthy of being Master’s boyfriend."

"If it's a demonstration, then I will do it as the president. Since, Eita-kun is · my · boy · friend · after · all!"

"Stop! Inappropriate interactions between those of the opposite sex is a violation of school rules! It is prohibited—!"

"But that runs for you as well, isn't that so?"

"It won’t be inappropriate! If I G-Go o-oout with Kidou-kun, then we’ll s-s-s-start by holding hands….. K-kyaa—♪"

"Fun! Hands? I’ve already tasted Eita-kun's mouth so many times, that I can't even recall the number."

"Mouth? Why is this the first time I heard this?"

"Hey Natsukawa! That artificial respiration doesn’t count!"

"Oh who knows? Eita-kun put his tongue in so forcefully ♪"

"Tongue? What’s with this Ei-kun?"

"Incidentally, I also shared a bed with Eita before. It was my first time."

"I can’t pretend that I didn’t hear that! Ta-kun, what is with all of thisssssss?!"

Hahaha......

That’s enough, just kill me.

Kill me, kill meeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I’m Stuck in the Carnage between my Girlfriend, Ex-Girlfriend, Childhood Friend, and Fiancée!
