OreShura: Volume 4 Chapter 0

Chapter 0 Announcement of the Disciplinary Committee is Mayhem

A commanding wind stormed the area.

"Come on, let's start the club activities!"

Fuyuumi Ai stood in front of the whiteboard, as she pointed at us.

She had an air of importance.

Today is August 2nd, which was also the dark day that ruptured our summer vacation paradise—｢The First Day of School｣. After classes, our ｢Jien-Otsu｣ gathered in the club room for the first time in a long while, but--

"Excuse me...... Fuyuumi?"

Chiwa whispered quietly, her right cheek twitching slightly.

"What, Harusaki Chiwa?"

"Somehow, Why are you acting as if you were so important?!"

Fuyuumi wondered as she tilted her head and said:

"The person who worked to save the club from almost being shut-down was me, hm? "

"The person who pushed our club to the brink of being shut-down was also you!"

When our club was considered a ｢menace to school discipline｣, the person who led the movement to shut down our Jien-Otsu was the ｢demon disciplinary committee｣ Fuyuumi Ai herself. But after a lot of chaos, Fuyuumi joined the ｢Jien-Otsu｣ while taking the role of ｢coach｣. She was still serving as disciplinary committee member, and she still wore that trademark discipline committee armband.

"Since I have joined this club, I hereby prohibit all strange club activities. Please gear yourselves for a transition to more sensible, pure, and beautiful high school club activities, that's how it is.

"Uuuuu...... she's just a new member."

"Talking back against the coach is also prohibited, senior member!"

"Merely a new member, merely a new member—!"

"Chihuahua, can you please not make Master angry?"

Hime, who stood next to her, stroked Chiwa on the back as Chiwa knashed her teeth.

"Master is a love expert, and she'll certainly guide us to becoming ｢popular｣.

Hime's shining eyes looked at Fuyuumi, her gaze full of admiration. To go as far as to call her Master, she must have wholeheartedly worship Fuyuumi.

Fuyuumi beamed with joy, nodded satisfactorily and said:

"It seems you're quite promising, Akishino-san."

"You can call me Hime."

"Hime-chan, I will guide you to become pure and proper maiden."

"I'm so glad, Master."

Hime let Fuyuumi rub her head, and she shrugged like she was being tickled. Was this... the birth of the master-student relationship between a beautiful disciplinary committee member and a beautiful Chuunibyou..... That's what it seems?

"As the president, I also very warmly welcome this increase in club membership."

Masuzu sat on the opposite side of the table as Chiwa, sipping a hot cup of green tea as she spoke.

"With regards to the goal of becoming popular, I think Fuyuumi-san will make an excellent coach. After all, Fuyuumi-san has a rich handsome boyfriend who attends a private university in Tokyo."

Fuyuumi's expression turned morose when she heard this.

"Handsome boyfriend? What do you mean?"

"Didn't you share with us a few days ago, the sweet relationship that you have for your boyfriend?"

"......Ah, right! You mean Mittland."

"Michel, wasn't it?"

"Y-yes, Michel!"

Somehow, I can totally see Fuyuumi's cheek twitch.

The college boyfriend ｢Michel｣ this girl talked about was actually a total lie. He was an imaginary boyfriend.

At that time, when Fuyuumi and Chiwa were desperately quarreling; she was forced by the circumstances to blurt out a lie. But since then, she's been continuously stretching the story.

"R-right! After all, my ｢Love Experiences｣ are completely different than yours. Whether it's cuteness or feminine power, I have the upper hand!"

"Well well, so wonderful ♪ Please show your juniors, Harusaki-san and Akishino-san such skills."

Masuzu smiled sweetly--but since I sat next to her, I could see that the surface of her arms uncovered by her short sleeves were full of goose bumps.

After all, Masuzu was ｢Anti-love｣, just like me.

So what about popularity or feminine power? It looks like her heart is rather resistant to this kind of frivolous vocabulary, so much that she can even hold back from showing her true feelings in this type of situation. She really was something.

"Well, you can teach us...... the right way to confess to the people we like."

Thus, Chiwa stole a glance at my face. Stop looking over here.

"I also want to see. I want to study Master's ways."

Hime also gazed steadily at me. Really, stop looking over here!

Fuyuumi shook her head strongly and said:

"The idea of confessing to the boy yourself is wrong in the first place. As young maidens, we need to have the boy confess to us!"

The Spring, Summer, and Autumn trio all exclaimed, ｢Oh｣!

"So to speak, Michel was the one who confessed to Fuyuumi, right?"

"To be confessed by a college student, Master is cool."

"I hope you can tell us how to behave and be mentally prepared during a confession."

Masuzu was probably the number one most confessed-to person in the school, but she even said this. It clearly made Fuyuumi very anxious.

"Even if you say it l-like that, you can only be resourceful. Y-you need to act suitably according to the situation?"

"I understand now."

Thus, Masuzu turned towards me and said:

"Eita-kun, could you please confess to Fuyuumi-san here and now?"

"Ah?"

"Because I want to give Fuyuumi-san the opportunity to demonstrate the proper behavior of a maiden when being confessed to".

Damn Masuzu, again saying something troublesome.

Fuyuumi hugged her arms close:

"EEe- Kidou-kun will? Please don't joke? I have the right to select the person who confesses to me, right?"

"But, why are you smiling like you're delighted?"

"H-how could that be!? You must be seeing things!"

However, unfortunately! The disciplinary member's mouth was already smiling softly!

Since I couldn't disobey a order from the president, I began to act out my ｢confession scene｣.

"W-Well, I'll start then."

"Fine, just come!"

Fuyuumi placed her hands on her hips, and posed with a hard to approach expression.

............

"What is it, Kidou-kun? If you stay silent, then it won't be a confession."

"Yeah, I know."

Because, I've never confessed to anyone before.

Whatever, I'll just do it casually.

"Fuyuumi Ai-san, in reality I really like you!"

"Hmph, I know."

"I adore you— Go out with me—"

"Sorry, but I've never regarded you as a member of the opposite sex. Can we just be friends?"

"I understand— I'll give up——"

"You can't give up now?"

"Eh!"

Fuyuumi pointed at the dazed me and said:

"If you give up now, your chance for love will end. Your feelings for me, your love, you need to make them burst!"

……Such un-unreasonable demands......

"But, if you look at the circumstances, wasn't I already rejected?"

"Isn't that's obvious? I'm not the kind of girl that can be conquered so easily."

"Then it's fine, I might as well give up."

"How can you confess without enthusiasm!? You need to attack with even more ferocity, and then I'll refuse you even more ferociously. A confession is just like that."

Yuck, sounds too bothersome—

I turned around to see if the other three would help me, but—

"Ei-kun really doesn't have guts! After saying that you are backing away?"

"This person who is from the same Warrior of the Holy Dragon Race, I am very ashamed. "

"Such a worthless man, very soon we'll become strangers."

I was isolated, and I couldn't find even half a companion. It was too much, too much.

Just as I was at the end of my rope, Masuzu started to rummage through her bag.

"In this kind of situation, it's better to let this take the stage."

In a very familiar development, Masuzu took out my ｢Eighth Grade Notebook｣.

"That's a really old notebook. What is it?"

"This was the diary my ｢first love｣ left for me. The secrets of how to attract the opposite sex and how to be an attractive person are recorded inside."

"You mean it's a notebook on how to be popular? Sounds kind of interesting."

It seemed like even Fuyuumi's interest was perked, and she looked as if she wanted to try it out.

Masuzu's shoulder leaned close on mine as she opened the notebook and said:

"Please give this ｢Certainly dangerous ☆ 100% Concentrated ☆ Collection of Pick-up Lines｣ a try ♪"

"Ah? Don't screw around. Yo give it a try, you shitty poisonous tongue woman."

"Fuyuumi-san? —let me correct myself, this notebook is actually Eita-kun's—"

"Pliase let me give it my most earnest efford!!!!!! Masuzu-wa—n!!!!"

Well, fine. I'll just do it. That being the case, I'll give it my all!

As my hands firmly grabbed Fuyuumi's shoulders, I was willing to do it with more ferocity.

"W-what's with you all of a sudden? E-Even if you become more coercive to convince me, it's useless!"

Fuyuumi's cheeks were blushing a little, and I stared into her eyes and spoke:

"｢You might not really want it, but I'll have you go crazy for me｣."

"........................ Ah?"

Fuyuumi gave this surprised cry from the bottom of her heart.

And as I am, regretting this from the bottom of my heart. I want to die, A worthless death.

"Why are you saying such embarrassing lines? Are you stupid?"

—Quiet! I'm the one who feels the most embarrassed here!

While I was crying in my heart, the next bullet fired.

"｢What you truly want is not lines, but to be reached by that Excalibur KISS.｣"

"Are you all right? Should we go to the hospital?"

I truly made her worry.

Although I wanted to immediately go home, bury my face in a pillow, and kick my feet, if I stopped here it would be even more embarrassing. I can only see this to the end!

"｢You should be careful. After all my KISS is called 'Reppuzan'Blade Wind｣."

"......Erm, Kidou-kun?"

"'Reppuzan'Blade Wind! 'Reppuzan'Blade Wind 'Reppuzan'Blade Wind!"

"Hey, can't you listen when other people are talking!?"

"————Reppu————————————Za————————n!"

Huff, this is all I can bear!

Although I felt like I lost something very important, but I tried my best to finish this.

Would Fuyuumi scorn me from now on? But at least Masuzu should be able to understand—

Just as I was thinking this, Fuyuumi's wrinkled eyebrows suddenly glazed over into eyes looking afar.

"｢Such a KISS. before it gets to touch my mouth gets stopped by a varia.｣"

"……Varia?"

"B-Barrier!"

"A barrier—"

Fuyuumi was a really interesting person.

I didn't actually think she would go along with my ｢Eighth Grade Confession｣.

But then again, she was the owner of that ｢Delusional Notebook｣, so maybe she also has this kind of inclination.

Well, if that's the case, then I'll turn up the notch a bit.

"｢Your universe has become caught in the color of me. Me-ER. Me-EST ｣."

Wuuuuhhhhhhhhh—

I really want to die—

I didn't understand what I was saying anymore.

Why would I want to die from making a love confession?

Anyway, by did I always try adding superlatives to nouns back then? This was ever since in eighth grade, my English teacher asked: ｢What is the past tense of 'IS'?｣ And I answered, ｢ISED｣. It was my greatest humiliation ever.

I thought that Fuyuumi would be astonished to the extreme this time— but I didn't expect her to be stifling her mouth, looking down.

Did this mean she was happy? Because of this kind of confession?

"Iven if you shtart shaying cool things now, it won't do any good!"

......

Is this me acting cool? Me-ER?

I can't understand how this was any different from the first two attempts I did. Even though I wrote it myself, I still can't understand.

It's okay? Then I'll keep going then!

I leaned close to the ears of my prey:

"｢When will you realize? That my charm is a social phenomenon?｣"

"Ah......"

Fuyuumi lowered her head and shook, her long hair swaying like waves.

Her eyes began to get moist, and she turned them towards me and said:

"I- If you just do as you please I'll get angry? Don't make a fool of a disciplinary committee member!"

"｢Something even purer than PomJuice, the 120% of your fruit juice is what I'll extract from you.｣"

"Fwuahh……"

Fuyuumi's beautiful hair once again began to shake like waves. This movement is greater than ever before.

Fuyuumi dumbly faced the three people who had watched this entire development:

"L-L-L-L-Look carefully evefryone. You can't possibly let yourself get captured by a stupid guy when he approaches you with lines like these no matter what?"

I guess is time I decide to give the strongest final blow to this disciplinary committee member.

"｢The more you resist, the more you rill out the awakening of the 'Beast'Wild Animal that's hidden inside me!｣"

"Enough! You lier! Is a Lie, lie, it's totally a lie!"

"｢Even if I'm lying, it's entirely because of your pheromones!｣"

"............Ah............"

Fuyuumi's eyes suddenly sank.

She was like a small kindergarten child stumbling forward with small steps, as she grabbed my shirt:

"If-if are willing to say that much…… t-th-then lesh go out……?"

Yes! I got her!

I caught her—

......Strange? What was my goal in the first place?

While I was was thinking about my original purpose, Fuyuumi happily hooked my arm.

"In any event, Now I'm going out with Ta-kun! Ai-chan epic win! ♪"

The Japanese-style pancake in Chiwa's hands gave a ｢crackle｣ sound, as then crushed and scattered.

"What———————————is going on——————————with this?!"

Masuzu revealed a hidden ｢something｣ smile, tilted her head and said:

"Somehow, I don't understand what has happened just here?"

But Hime had an expression like she was about to cry:

"Master has betrayed me? Really really? Betrayed me?"

However, Fuyuumi looked as if that scene had nothing to do with her, instead she can be seen with her face red like a tomato and lips curved in a broad, soft smile.

But she still clung to my arms as she said:

"｢If you like them, then you can't help it｣. That is the principle of love! It doesn't matter if it's the childhood friend, or the girlfriend, or the ex-girlfriend. Not being careful just means that he'll be snatched away. Remember that well!"

"No kidding! That being said, you're too easy to deal with. You were so easily won over by Ei-kun!"

"I-I wasn't won over! Ai-chan just pitied him, so I agreed!"

Her arrogant attitude hadn't fallen at all this entire time, so it was probably something admirable about her?

In short, it looked like she was out of control, so I whispered to her:

"Oi, A-chan."

"What is it, Ta-kun? Y-You want to seal it?"

"No. This isn't good for you, right? You have a 'Boyfriend'Michel."

A-chan immediately took some small steps and said:

"If-If I go steady with Ta-kun, then I'll leave him"

Oh that was cute. Really cute.

But if we acted on impulse, mayhem would be waiting in front of me, so:

"But earlier didn't you proclaim in front of everyone that ｢immoral activities with the opposite sex are forbidden｣?"

"Y-yes that's true."

"And as a disciplinary committee member and the coach of the young maiden's club, wouldn't you be setting a bad example? You should also think about the other disciplinary committee members who believe in you so much."

"......Ah, that's true. Rules and trust shouldn't be trampled over."

A-chan's hazy eyes finally rediscovered the light of rationality.

It appears that she was restored to the normal ｢Fuyuumi Ai｣. Her mood could turn hot and cold and easily. It was really easy to understand her character.

After let herself Fuyuumi hug my arm tightly, seemingly reluctant to leave it, she released it.

"That's how it is. So the above confession performance has now ended. So? It should have benefited you all."

The Chiwa who was planning to crawl across the table and pounce, stopped.

"Performance? What's going on?"

"I said it earlier, right? ｢You need to have your love burst｣. I was just playing along those lines."

Masuzu had a suspicious look on her eyes as she started

"In other words, you weren't captured for real in the end, is it?"

"You actually have to ask that? After all, I already have a handsome boyfriend. Why would I be won over by Kidou-kun?"

"Eita-kun, could you repeat that last line from earlier once more?"

"｢Even if I'm lying, it's entirely because of your pheromones!｣"

"Unyaaaaa—————! I lub Ta-kun! I really lub him—————!"

The escape route was completely destroyed.

I quickly cleared my throat and coughed dryly. Fuyuumi awoke to her senses.

"—Ermh, in short, it's like that."

Masuzu smiled and tilted her head:

"What is that?"

"This so-called love, is something that you can't control before it bursts. J-just like I just demonstrated for you all, it's like that!"

Chiwa's eyes were filled with resentment as she spoke:

"So it's really an act!?"

"Of course! You have to confess as enthusiastically like that, or be confessed like that! The road to popularity is very dangerous!"

Fuyuumi finished, ｢Do you get it?｣ Chiwa only reluctantly nodded.

"As it stands, we'll just take this issue to here—okay, Fuyuumi?"

"｢Ai｣ will do, really. And I'll call you Chiwa."

"Well, Ai— why did you just call Ei-kun, ｢Ta-kun｣?"

Guh-

"I am also very concerned about it. Eita also called Master, ｢A-chan｣."

Guh- Guuhh--

"Don't you two seem very close? How did you become so intimate after attending cram school together, during one simple summer?"

Damn...…

I carelessly called her name the way I used to.

Should I rely on empty words to pass over it? No, I just did things half-heartedly, so it's a bit difficult—

"Since it's exposed, I guess it can't be helped."

Next to the distressed me, Fuyuumi was the first to open her mouth.

"Actually, Kidou-kun and I are childhood friends."

Spring, Summer, and Autumn, the three of them were shocked, stunned.

Even I was stunned.

I didn't expect her to throw such a fastball.

"W-wait a minute. I've never heard of this before?"

Chiwa rudely approached Fuyuumi.

"If you're Ei-kun's childhood friend, then shouldn't you also have been my childhood friend? But I didn't meet you until we arrived at Hane High!"

"When did you first meet Kidou-kun?"

"In first grade, after I moved next door to Ei-kun's house, our relationship has been very good. We've been together for nine years."

"Hmph? Nine?"

Fuyuumi smiled.

It wasn't that arrogant ｢disciplinary committee member｣ smile that we've seen before.

It was a rather conservative but fully assertive smile.

"The first time Kidou-kun and I met was ｢ten years ago｣. We've been together ever since ｢Star Class｣ in kindergarten."

Chiwa wasn't able to even gasp, as she stared at me with an expression like she was about to cry.

"Ei-kun, why didn't you ever say anything until now?"

"It's not that he didn't say. He forgot, until he remembered in summer cram school when we spoke to each other."

"I'm not asking Ai! Hey, Ei-kun!"

As Chiwa shook my shoulders, I gave a big sigh…… I guess I could only trust in my luck.

"As Fuyuumi said, I forgot. Because she moved away before we started elementary school, I forgot about it entirely until recently."

"Even earlier than me? You met her earlier than me?"

It seemed like Chiwa was very persistent about that point.

"I met Fuyuumi ten years ago in the spring; Chiwa moved next door nine years ago in the spring, so Fuyuumi was earlier than you by one year."

"That's...…"

Chiwa bit her lips firmly, and sank into silence.

"......Wrong......"

Hime suddenly said.

She pulled on me hard, and hung wildly on my right arm as she whispered:

"I'm the one who met Eita first, because past-lives are even earlier than elementary school or kindergarten. So it's neither Master or Chihuahua. As the ex-girlfriend, I am the earliest."

Hime hugged me, her body trembling slightly.

Although she always appeared very well-behaved, and unremarkable compared to Chiwa or Masuzu, it probably took her a lot of courage to say that. Before, she used to talk like a spoiled child, apparently during this month she's grown a lot.

However, this growth for me, however, meant a much more hectic mayhem. So to be honest, I have mixed feelings.

"Eita, hold me?"

"No I won't. But I can rub your head?"

"......Today I'll hold back......"

I rubbed Hime's head, and she immediately smiled and raised her lips. Great, it looks like she recovered her enthusiasm.

"Wait a minute, what is this past life? What is this ex-girlfriend thing about?"

Fuyuumi tilted her head, and Hime stood straight and said:

"In our past lives, Eita and I had a romantic relationship. So hence I'm his ex-girlfriend."

"Hu, uHmn......?"

Fuyuumi looked at HIme's insistent face, and seemed to give up asking about it.

"Well, in short, the human relationships of our club are rater complex and mysterious."

With her silver hair swaying, my ｢girlfriend｣ Natsukawa Masuzu stood up.

She looked at Spring, Autumn, and Winter one by one, and in a calm tone stared :

"However, everyone, Eita-kun happens to be my boyfriend. I don't know anything about kindergarten, I'm not clear about elementary school's events, and I don't plan to ask about what happened in the pasts lives. But now, he ｢belongs to me｣. Please by no means forget such fact."

The three of them looked as if they wanted to say something as they stared back at Masuzu— but in the end they said nothing. One by one they dropped their gaze.

Such an incredible impact.

This is the pride of the legitimate wife.

No one would ever think that Masuzu was just acting the character role of a ｢girlfriend｣......

However, what will come next, I couldn't possibly tell at this point.

Regardless to the degree it went, an act was still a act.

In the end this was a performance merely at the level of children's talent show— if an experienced adult saw us, it would be noticed right away.
