Volume 9 Chapter 2 Part4 (1/2)

TL: Graze

We saw no sign of Akito as we headed toward the archery club

”Huh? Where's Miyachi?”

There's no doubt that Akito had been headed toward the cafe, so along the way, he must have come across a dispute and diverted froreed to search for Akito

A few ot some reliable infor hoed to arrive at the gy

There, two first-year students were facing off with one another

They didn't appear to be the people Haruka and the others had been expecting either

The first student was Class A's Hashi+moto

The other was Class B's Kanzaki

Meanwhile, Akito appeared to be in the difficult position of standing watch between the two

”You guys aren't really going to fight, are you?”

”You're quite persistent, Miyake I wasn't the one who instigated this in the first place, Kanzaki was”

While Hashi+ pestered by someone, our eyes met

”It seems like your friends have arrived?”

After Hashi+moto pointed this out, Akito and Kanzaki looked our way at aluys came”

It seeood co like this

Despite this, Haruka spoke up and inserted herself into the conversation

”That's because you've gone and gotten yourself involved in soe That's e caht…”

Realizing that he shouldn't have said anything in the first place, Akito regretfully looked up into the empty air for a mohting”

Realizing that it couldn't be helped now that ere already here, Akito changed tracks

”It seeh the situation does seeerous feel to it”

”Kanzaki is the dangerous one here”

If I remember correctly, Hashi+moto didn't seem to be any different than usual

However, Akito didn't see it

”I would hope so”

Akito didn't show any intention of leaving any time soon

It sees would take a turn for the worse

At the same time, Kanzaki looked at us with a somewhat troubled expression

That is to say, he had been hoping that nobody else would show up here

However, he should also understand that such a dreaer possible

For that reason, he chose to keep silent

Ultiain turned his attention back toward Hashi+ fro after school? You don't belong to any clubs, so why are you here so late?”

”So if I don't have any club activities, I have to head hoo and do whatever I want after school Moreover, out of everyone here, I think Miyake is the only one involved with a club Right?”

Taking the initiative, Hashi+ us into the conversation

Coht into Hashi+moto's hands

The lances

It wouldn't be possible to say that we're allies of Class A or Class B

Though, if we had to choose between the tould definitely choose Class B

That would be because of the ar to answer?”

Noticing that his question was being responded to with silence, Hashi+ here in order toto spread rumors to as many people as you can, aren't you?”

Kanzaki wore his usual cal

Fro Hashi+ Ichinose

Akito orried that they would get into a fight with one another, which leads us to where the situation is at now

Hashi+moto probably felt that his actions were exposed to a certain extent after listening to Kanzaki's claim, as he nodded a couple of times in response

”Ru various s? What connection do I have with those ru dumb is just a waste of everyone's ti crystal clear with you What you and the rest of your class are doing is si Ryuuen would do”

”Even when you say so like that, I don't have an answer for you”

Hashi+moto, whose intentions are usually hard to completely understand, spoke evasively in response to Kanzaki's questioning

Akito seerasp that the two of theht, he distanced himself from the two of them and came over to us

”Hey, what should we do?”

Haruka asked Akito in a low voice

”Nothing, let's just watch for the ti, it'll end with that”

”But… Is it okay for us to be listening in?”

I could somewhat understand Airi's uneasiness

Our Class C has nothing to do with their discussion

At the very least, Kanzaki won't be pleased about having us be present here That was the vibe I got from the air around him

”What do you think, Kiyotaka?”

Akito asked for my input

”Isn't it fine until they tell us to leave? If at soht, the presence of a third party can help keep things civil Kanzaki should see the benefit in that too”

It seereed with me, as he nodded a few times

Hashi+moto then took the topic of the ru on with Ichinose… are you sure they're really just rumors?”

”What?”

”You can't have smoke without a fire That's probably what ”

”Ru as there's ainst the nearby wall

”Indeed It's true that rus”

Proverbs can't be applied to every situation in the world

”However, can you confidently tell me that Ichinose doesn't have a dark past, Kanzaki?”

”Approxih thick and thin together with Class B That's why I'ive it up Kanzaki Responses like that stink so much that I can't even look you in the eyes”

After saying so, Hashi+moto dropped eye contact

”Of course, I've also asked Ichinose directly”

”Hoh? And what did she say?”
