TLN: Enjoy the Chapter~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Akito and Kuonji really don’t get along, huh?
“You’re right, I think both of them were on bad terms even before they started hanging out with us.”
Ryūya and Neika, who were following behind, were curiously talking about me and Kuonji.
It’s understandable that they want to talk about us, because Kuonji and I haven’t gotten along since the first year of middle school, and it was in the second year of middle school that we started hanging out with these two.
To be honest, I don’t know why…
It was in the middle of July, almost time for the first summer vacation of the junior high school.
Kuonji, from another class, suddenly burst into the first class that I was in.
As soon as she found me, she looked like she wanted to say something, but her face was all red and couldn’t say anything. She looked as if she was in some kind of a panic.
After a while, her first words were this–
“Y-Y-You! I’ll never approve of you, okay!?”
Hmm? You don’t get it? It’s all right, I don’t get it either. (EDN: He’s speaking to reader.)
My friends who were with me at the time were also puzzled by that too.
It’s true that I wasn’t a very good person back then. I think I had an inappropriate personality to the extent that I could have been called a rascal.
Even so, I worked hard at studying and exercising so that I could be forgiven for the things back then. Because of that, I still have reasonably good grades.
However, when I suddenly remembered what she said back then…it made me angry. It seemed that my brain still perceived her as my natural enemy.
…Stop, it’s a waste of energy to get angry over something like this. Let’s switch it up.
We arrived at classroom five without any problems. Here and there, girls were chatting happily with each other.
The gyaru group in my class were in high spirits. Even though they have only been in high school for half a month, they are still at the top of the caste.
Then, one of them gave a gorgeous smile as soon as she saw me.
“Ah! Sana-tan, good morning~”
Her long hair was dyed pale pink with loose waves, her shirt was open up to the third button, and her skirt was quite short. She was a so-called typical gyaru.
However, her make-up was natural and not overly flashy. Her childish face and sweet voice make her look younger than her actual age.
Her name was Tsuchimikado Hiyori. She was a friend of mine that I’ve made through a bit of fate.
“Good morning, Tsuchimikado.”
“Mou~ please call me Hiyori, okay? I don’t like it because it’s a boring surname~”
“Why? I think it’s cool, Tsuchimikado.”
“Hi~ yo~ rin~!”
Is this girl a kid or something?
Then, the black haired gal (Kuroseya, I think) who was watching our conversation, looked at both us alternately as she was interested, and asked–
“Eh~ what’s that? Do Hiyorin and Sanada know each other?”
“Un! He’s Hiyori’s Fated Person!”
“”…Ha?””
Eh? What did she say?
“Seriously, Akki?”
“That surprised me. Is this the reason why you’re hesitant to say it earlier, Akito?”
“Wait a minute, Neika, Ryūya, it’s not like that. Also, stop saying things that might cause misunderstanding, Tsuchimikado.”
When I flicked her on her beautiful forehead, which parted from the center, she rubbed it happily while saying, “That hurts~” I don’t really know what to do with this girl…
As I let out a small sigh, Kuroseya opened her mouth with her eyes shining brightly.
“Then? Then? Why’s Sanada your Fated Person Hiyorin?”
“Hmm~ Hiyori was molested on the day of the entrance, you know? I was so scared about it that I couldn’t even speak, but the one who helped me at that time was Sana-tan~!”
She gave me a fervent look after saying so.
I felt somewhat uncomfortable and when I turned my eyes towards the hall—EHHH!!?
“….”
Was Kuonji glaring like a demon at me…!?
“You’re as terrifying as ever, Riran-chan.”
“I’m not terrifying!”
No, you are terrifying.
But, Tsuchimikado, oblivious to Kuonji’s presence, continued to talk.
“At that time, I was so nervous about the entrance exam that I cried like a baby. My make-up, my head and my heart were all in a mess, and I was like, ‘Ugh, I don’t care anymore!’ I felt like I had given up.”
It’s true that Tsuchimikado was crying so much that I couldn’t leave her alone at that time.
“But, Sana-tan saved me from that time, too. He bought me some warm cocoa and sweet chocolate at the convenience store~ He also did his best to encourage Hiyori until the very last minute of the reception deadline. That’s why Hiyori is here today, thanks to you, Sana-tan~!”
Tsuchimikado gave me a smile after saying so. Then everyone who heard what she said shouted in admiration.
“You’re so kind, Akito!”
“As expected Akki! What a lady-killer!”
“Stop it, it’s embarrassing…”
I don’t help people out of love.
I helped Tsuchimikado because I knew that she was going to take the same entrance exam for Ginnan High School.
If it was a girl who was taking the exam at a different high school, I probably would have left it to the station attendant and quickly headed for the examination room.
But when I thought of the effort she had put in to take the exam for the same high school as mine, I just couldn’t leave her alone, that’s all.
“That’s why it’s such a pity. Hiyori thought for sure that Sana-tan was the one…”
“Now, now, Hiyori. There is no such miracle, you know?”
“Boo~!”
Tsuchimikado then drank a box of juice while being consoled by the other Gyarus.
If Tsuchimikado was my Fated Person…she would be spoiled for the rest of her life and would become a hopeless person.
“So, what kind of guy was Tsuchimikado’s Fated Person?”
“So-so I guess~? I thought, ‘Oh, I see~” the moment he popped into my head.”
Isn’t her reaction a bit thin…?
“What about yours, Sana-tan? What does she look like?”
“All right~ I think it’s about time for me to go back to my desk~”
*Grab**Grab**Grab.* Ryūya grabbed me by both shoulders, Neika by my left arm, and Tsuchimikado by my right arm.
“Oi, oi, don’t run away now, Akito.”
“It’ll be easier if you just spit it out, y’know?”
“I want to hear what you are going to say, Sana-tan~”
Aren’t they too close with each other in these kinds of situations?
I gently looked at Kuonji. She was busy talking with Ryūgūin, but she was listening perfectly.
Truth was, even she wanted to know what I was going to say.
I hate her. I hate her so much. I want to say out loud that she’s my natural enemy.
However, in the corner of my mind…I didn’t want to hurt her…
“…Normal, I guess…?”
“Then, who’s cuter, Hiyori or her?”
“It’s hard to say, but I think both of you are cute? But as my Fated Person, she’s obviously more cu– Ha!?”
She asked me if Kuonji was cute, and I said that she was! Kuonji was…oblivious; she was so engrossed in her conversation with Ryuguin that she didn’t seem to be listening.
“Hmm~? She’s cuter than Hiyorin, is it~?”
“Hiyorin is definitely cuter than her~”
“Ugyuu– Ehehe~”
Tsuchimikado was happy while she was being sandwiched by Gyaru’s on both sides.
I-I don’t want to delve into this topic any further.
“W-Well then, I have some morning duty to do, so…?”
“I’ll ask the details laters, Akito~!”
“Don’t run away, Akki~!”
Shut up, please.
“What’s wrong with your face, Riran-chan?”
“It’s nothing…”
