Volume 1 Chapter 13 (2/2)
Interrupting the peaceful background music was a loud voice from the middle of the store
”Hurry up! Everyone's waiting!”
”Oh, really!? Tell them to complain directly to me!”
It sounded like there was trouble Two boys were glaring at each other as they started to quarrel The one with a disgruntled face was the all too fa cup noodles in one of his hands
”What's happening here?”
”Oh? Who're you?”
I meant to talk amicably, but red hair lare
”I'ht there was trouble here”
After explaining, red hair lowered his voice after understanding the situation
”Oh… I re is practically money from now on”
After seeing his eot it there
To be honest, it didn't fully sink in yet that the cards were needed for every payment
”If it's fine with you, I can pay for it now It'd be troublesoet it—I don't mind if you use my points
”… That's true It's annoying Good thing you're here, thanks”
The distance to the dorotten back, the line would probably get long since it'd be lunch time
“… I’m Sudou I owe you one”
”Nice to meet you, Sudou”
I took the cup noodles from Sudou then walked over to the hot water dispenser Horikita was ae
”You're a pushover even fro to be his obedient servant? Or is this how you're trying to make friends?”
”Rather thanelse”
”You don't seem to be scared at his appearance either”
”Scared? Why would I be scared? Because he looks like a delinquent?”
”A normal person would probably stay away from that kind of person”
”Nah, he doesn't even look like a bad person anyway Also, you don't look scared either”
”Only people without anythemselves stay away from those types If he seemed violent, I'd repel him away from me That's why I'm not really afraid”
Whenever Horikita says so unusual First of all, when she says ”repel,” what does shearound some kind of anti-molester spray?
”Let's finish shopping It'd bother other students if we loitered around too long”
We finished up our shopping After presenting the student ID card to the machine, the transaction was quickly coe involved
”It's really usable as money… ”
The receipt showed the prices of each good and the leftover amount of points The pay for Horikita, I put hot water into the cup noodles I thought it'd be more difficult to open the lid and pour in the hot water, but it was surprisingly easy (T/N is this guy an idiot?)
At any rate, this is a really weird school
What kind ofof an allowance?
Since rade has about 160 people in it, by sih school should have about 480 people total Even in a month that's already 48 million yen In an year, 560 million
Even if it's backed by the country, it still seems like overkill
”I wonder what benefit it would bring to the school 100,000 yen is a lot to give someone”
”Well… There seem to be way too many facilities for the nuive the students that lect their studies because they have so much money”
I' the test
By talking about ht be motivated to work harder
But, without any conditions attached, 100,000 yen was handed out to everyone
”It's not so I can really tell you to do, but it's probably better to save your et used to a coo The ”
”I'll take that to heart”
I never intended to throay inally, but she made a valid point
After finishi+ng the transaction, Sudou aiting in front of the convenience store
Seeing me come out, Sudou waved his hand at , I felt a bit embarrassed yet happy at the same time
”… Are you actually trying to eat here?”
”Of course I am It's common sense, where else would I eat?”
When Sudou answered like that, I was surprised and Horikita let out an exasperated sigh
”I'rading away here
”What dignity are you talking about? You're just a norh school student Or are you some kind of ojousama?”
Even though Sudou snapped at Horikita, she didn't even bat an eye
Feeling irritated, Sudou put down his cup noodles and stood up
”Ahー? Listen to people when they speak Hey!”
”What's up with hiry”
Horikita continued to ignore Sudou and talked to me
Having being pushed over the edge, Sudou shouted in anger
”Come over here! I'll beat you up!”
”I'll admit Horikita's attitude was bad But your behavior isn't very good either”
Sudou's patience seems to have run out
”So? Her attitude's way too cheeky for a woman!”
”For a wo is outdated Don't be friends with someone like him”
With that, Horikita turned around, ignoring Sudou to the very end
”Hey wait! damn woman!”
“Calm down”
I held back Sudou as trying to reach for Horikita
Without even looking back, Horikita headed back for the dorms
”What kind of person acts like that? Dammit!”
”There are many different types of people, you know”
”Hmph I hate that kind of person”
He atching rabbed the cup noodles, tore off the cover and started eating
A little while ago, he also fought at the register—it seeer
”Hey, are you a first year? That's our spot”
As I watched Sudou slurp up his noodles, a group of three boys walked out of the convenience store carrying similar bowls
”Who are you guys? We're using this spot right now You're blocking the way fuck off”
”Didn't you hear him? Scram Some cheeky first year brat”
The three laughed at Sudou Sudou stood up and threw his cup noodles on the ground Soup and noodles splattered onto the ground
”The first year's trying to fight, ha— what!?”
… That's not it Sudou has a low tolerance for anger He's the type of person to try to intimidate the other party
”These second years are saying so here”
The second year senpais put down their stuff right there too And then they began to laugh
”Yup, we're here too So scram, this is our spot”
”You guys have some nerve, you shi+ts”
Sudou didn't falter froht will start anytime soon now I, of course, didn't count myself in those numbers
”Wow—— so scary What class are you guys in Oh wait, never ht?”
”So what!?”
After Sudou said that, all the upperclasshed at the same time
”Did you hear? He's in the D class! It was really obvious!”
”Oh? What do you mean by that, huh?”
As Sudou was getting heated, the boys took a step back
”Because you guys are so pitiful I'll let you stay there for today Let's go”
”You guys running away!?”
”The dog's barking!Anyway, you guys will face hell soon enough anyway”
Face hell?
They clearly looked calm and composed I wonder what they meant by ”face hell”
I thought that this school was for those fancy obocchans or ojousaroup of three earlier
”Dairls or nice second-years it would've been fine, but we got that stupid bunch”
Sudou shoved his hands in his pockets and headed back without even cleaning up the noodles
I looked at the outside of the convenience store Two surveillance cameras had been placed there
”There'll probably be problems later, huh”
Reluctantly, I reached down and starting cleaning up the mess
As soon as the second-years knew Sudou was class D, their opinions changed instantly
Although I felt anxious about it, there was no way for me to understand why
