Chapter 19 – Tear in the Town

“Hmm, should I refill my junk before I go to the dungeon?” (s.h.i.+njou)

On the way to the dungeon, I stopped at the red W. M. store.

I hadn’t eaten the Mc Burger earlier.

Seki is a little troubling, because when I eat junk food he becomes angry like a mother.

I’m not hungry because I just ate a while ago, but this kind of junk food is a different place to enter.

For me it is an important nutrient, it can be said to be a luxury good that needs regular supply.

“I also want to drink a vanilla shake, and I can add potatoes and nuggets……” (s.h.i.+njou)

Since my rank rose and my strength also increased, it doesn’t matter even if there is a little more baggage.

The food was luxurious, let’s purchase a little.

I got into a beautiful shop, and I looked at the menu panel.

From below, Guuuuuu~ I heard the sound of a stomach.

Is it from the other side of the counter?

When I gently peeped in, as if caught inside the counter of the shop, there was a girl squatting down.

It is a familiar face.

Nanami Shuichi’s childhood friend, Rindou Kazuha.

“Er, was it Rindou-san? What are you doing in such places?” (s.h.i.+njou)

“Ah……” (Kazuha)

I barely heard the undertone, instead I heard a loud noise Guuuuuu~ of a rumbling stomach.

The stomach is better than the mouth, it speak eloquently.

To make this girl’s stomach rumble this many times, I think she must be shy.

Kazuha looks at me with lightless eyes, just crouching and crouching.

Somehow, doesn’t it hurt a lot?

A blouse with a white uniform with noticeable dirt.

Even if she’s looking at me, she doesn’t make any movement while squatting on the ground.

There is no gloss on her black hair bundled by a shushu¹, and her pale thin cheeks seem to be weakening.

Rather than crouching down, it’s more correct that she went down in the back of the store, then collapsed and couldn’t move.

“Maybe, you are hungry?” (s.h.i.+njou)

“Uuu~.” (Kazuha)

A weak reply.

I bought a set of McBurger for the time being and decided to offer it.

After putting the burger to her noise, she barely bit it.

Bakubakubaku~, it disappeared in an instant.

I was surprised a bit.

It’s not the plain eating of ordinary girls.

“You, wait a moment, if you eat so soon……it will ruin your stomach.” (s.h.i.+njou)

“Zuzuzuzu~” (Kazuha)

Kazuha also drank the cola that I gave in the set with tremendous momentum.

Is her throat dry too?

No, juice is useless when thirsty.

When I thought of that I held out the water, and she drank it in a moment.

What’s this, it’s a little funny.

I, in the mood for feeding wild animals, gave potatoes and nuggets as well.²

Kazuha eats them in a trance Bakubaku while holding them in her hands.

She is eager to eat it without hesitation.

She was probably hungry, as it’s more of a feeling of sucking in rather than being a meal.

It seems she finally settled down after eating up 3 servings, Kazuha breathed a deep breath and smiled with an ecstatic smile.

In front of Kazuha who remains crouching in the small gap of the counter, there is a lot of scattered debris littered from eating.

When you are hungry, if you eat this amount in one stroke, I wonder if it will put too much strain on the stomach.

“Incase you ruin your stomach, drink this as well.” (s.h.i.+njou)

I let her drink the health potion and the detoxification potion.

I don’t know whether the detoxification potion will be

stomach medicine, but I think that it had the effect of helping digestion from experience.

I had Seki make it, and the potion helped quickly.

With the potion I pa.s.sed to Kazuha, she squeezed her throat and drank the blue and orange potion.

If it is the current Kazuha, she’ll swallow everything as I pa.s.s it.

Although she had an impression of a girl who tended to hold back for the first time, it seems that she was indeed in an extreme condition.

Finally after the supply and recovery, gloss returned to the hair and skin of Kazuha.

Light returned to her dark eyes, and at the same time her emotions returned, her lips began to tremble.

“That……s.h.i.+njou-kun, thank you u~uuu……u~uuu, u~uuu.” (Kazuha)

If you think she was smiling with a full belly and an estatic smile, this time she began to shed tears.

From Kazuha’s eyes that are downcast, tears like pearls fall with a s.h.i.+mmer and she wipes with her sleeves, but it doesn’t stop them from overflowing.

“Oooh, hey……” (s.h.i.+njou)

“go~, sorry……I, I……” (Kazuha)

Suddenly crying, it also confused me.

Even if she can endure it, the tears from Kazuha’s eyes don’t stop.

Finally the moisture is enough, I can’t watch it with the feeling that the dry tears have overflowed.

To know that she starved and collapsed, she knew she was dry.

Everyone can drink water for free if they go to the park.

“Hey, Rindou-san. What happened?” (s.h.i.+njou)

I ignored mostly everything about everyone else, but I can’t help but ask about this a little bit.

“My money is gone……” (Kazuha)

“I heard that the Student Council properly distributes gold coins to students who can not fight. Besides Rindou-san, aren’t you a childhood friend of Shuichi Nanami?” (s.h.i.+njou)

If you ask Nanami who is the leader of the Student Council to help you, you can’t not get money.

Rather, it shouldn’t be amusing to get preferential treatment as a privileged cla.s.s.

“That’s why……” (Kazuha)

While sighing, Kazuha started talking about the current situation.

In a nutsh.e.l.l, Kazuha received severe bullying from the girl students of the Student Council.

Moreover, the reason was because Kazuha was『a childhood friend of Nanami Shuichi』.

The Student Council members, especially girls, are sympathizers of Nanami Shuichi.

Nanami Shuichi seems to be trying to treat all people equally, but the sharp girls are sensitive to the fact that『Kazuha is special to Shuichi Nanami』.

From somewhere, since Kazuha was treated as a childhood friend of Nanami, it was deadly that the rumor was floating around.

And, Nanami was always standing for everyone at the beginning of the adventure.

He didn’t notice the fact that Kazuha was receiving bullying from the shadows.

No, not only Nanami is bad.

I never thought that I had cured the leg trouble of Kazuha.

Orginally forced to be made into the cla.s.s leader, Kazuha had a place that was cut off from the cla.s.s.

Since her ankle had a mild disability, she was barely escaping from the target of bullying because she was a poor child.

As the result of the subtle balance being lost, Kazuha was completely pickpocketed by girls from the Student Council in the city.

There were no people sympathizing or helping, and it became impossible to receive gold coins.

Kazuha, who became the subject of bullying, no matter where she went she was badly injured, and she wasn’t even allowed to drink water from the fountain where she could get as much as she wanted for free.

Kazuha, who was persecuted by the Student Council, became physically and mentally hurt, so she squatted in the back of the fast food shop where n.o.body was, that was why she was trying to die as she was.³

“You, if you are dying then ask Nanami for help!” (s.h.i.+njou)

“Because, that’s……uuuwaaaaaa~!” (Kazuha)

Kazuha, without being able to endure it, burst out crying.

Oh, I see……
