Volume 1 Chapter 7 Part6 (1/2)
Leaving the library, I chased after Kushi+da I wanted to thank her and apologize to her about the study group Besides, I want to get along with cute girls, you know?
Taking out h my address book for Kushi+da's name It's only my second ti two, three times
However, there's no sign that she's picking up Did she not notice? Or is she ignoring me?
She wasn't in sight, so I ran around, looking for her Inside the school building, I saw someone that looked like Kushi+da from the back It was around 6 o'clock, so there was no one other than club members Well, there's also the possibility that Kushi+da isone of her friends that's in a club
I'll chase after her; if she'sup with soo inside
Getting my indoor shoes from the rack, I headed for the hallway, but didn't see Kushi+da Did I lose sight of her? I thought that, but I heard the faint sounds of someone's shoes
I arrived at the stairs leading to the second floor Still following her I heard the footsteps aboveto the third floor The next floor is the rooftop, no? It's open during lunchti curious, I went up the stairs I hidwith someone And then I stopped in the middle of the stairs
I could see the outline of someone up there
Leaning against the handrail, I peeked through the crack in the door As I looked through the opening, I saw Kushi+da's figure There was no one else Is she waiting for someone here?
If she's waiting for so up a boyfriend? In that case, there's a possibility that I would be cornered fro whether or not I should leave, Kushi+da put down her bag on the floor
And then—
”Ah— so annoying”
Her voice was so low that I didn't think that it was Kushi+da
”It's really annoying, irritating It'd be fine if she just died…”
She was gru some kind of spell or curse
”I hate those kind of stuck-up girls that think they're cute Why is she such a bitch? A girl like her can't possibly teach me how to study”
Is Kushi+da annoyed with… Horikita?
”Ah— the worst She's really the worst, the worst, the worst Horikita's annoying, annoying, so annoying!”
I feel like the iirl has been burned down It was a figure that she didn't want seen by anyone else My brain told erous to stay here
However, a question arose Regardless of the fact that she was hiding her true feelings, why did she agree to help h about Horikita's personality and character She could've refused to help, leave the study group to Horikita, or have done countless other actions to take her hands off the issue
Why would she force herself to participate in the study group? Did she want to get along with Horikita? Or did she want to get closer to so?
None of those make sense With that much stress, if there isn't a different reason as to why she participated, I can't explain it
No… She
I never thought ht now, I had a thought By any chance, are Kushi+da and Horikita—
Anyway, I should get away from here Kushi+da probably wouldn't want anyone else to see her like this Hiding my presence, I tried to quickly leave
Thump!
In the school at dusk, the sound of kicking the door was louder than I thought Unexpectedly loud Kushi+da, also hearing the sound, i As if someone called out to her, Kushi+da turned around and spotted me
”… What are you… doing here?”
After a brief silence, Kushi+da asked in a cold voice
”I lost my way, My bad, my bad I'll leave now”
Kushi+da kept looking at aze I'd never seen before
”Did you hear…?”
”Will you believe me if I said I didn't?”
”I see…”
Kushi+da briskly walked down the stairs She put her left forearainst the wall
Her tone of voice and behavior wasn't the Kushi+da I knew
The Kushi+da now had a scary look that I couldn't help but compare to Horikita's
”What you heard just now… if you speak a word of it to anyone, I won't forgive you”
That sounded like a threat
”And if I did?'
”Then I'll spread a rumor that you raped me up here”
”That's a false charge, you know”
”That's ok, since it's not a false charge”
There was a strong impact to her words
Kushi+da then grabbed my left wrist and slowly opened the palm of my hand She held the back of my hand and put my palm on her breast
The feeling of her soft breasts was transhout my whole palm
”… What are you doing?”
At her unexpected behavior, I tried to pull away, but she pushed back on my hand
”Your fingerprints are onserious Get it?”
”… I understand I got it, so let go of my hand”
”I' it If you tell anyone, I'ive this to the police”
For a while, I glared at Kushi+da as she kept my hand on her breasts
”Don't forget”
Making sure that I understood, Kushi+da stepped away from me
I soh it was irl's breasts
”Hey, Kushi+da Which one is the 'real' you?”
”… That has nothing to do with you”
