Vol 1 Chapter 10 (1/2)
10: The First xxx[1] is Mayhem
”How ireat efforts”
Kaoru used these words to sum up yesterday's commotion
I was eating a bento packed full with leftovers froht sweetened bun from the school canteen
This lunch break was as peaceful as it always used to be
The only difference was probably the blood that dried deep insideAlso, band-aid wrapped around ers, so it was hard to use chopsticks
”Chihuahua-chan is very happy, right?”
”No, I scared her witless”
Afterwards, Chiwa had givenof complaints
'Ah, Eita’s fighting is too weak and too reckless'
'Ah, when Eita doesn’t have me next to him, he’s helpless'
It was very unreasonable Why did I have to be scolded when I was the one ent to help her?
”Oh, but she was glad about one thing”
”What?”
”That is, 'the super stupid Ei-kun from middle school came back'”
That point was actually unfair
I only acted like that because I had no other method planned! That hy I did that! It was an extremely rational decision and I definitely did not return to my past self
Nevertheless
”Hey, Kaoru”
”Hmm?”
”When I was in middle school, was I really that much of an idiot?”
”[] [] I don’t think so?”
”Then ere you silent for so long?”
”Ah, the weather is so nice I wonder if it'll stay like this until summer?”
”W-Wait! If you wanted to say so, please say it out loud!”
However, Kaoru refused to make eye contact with me and silently looked towards the empty seat next to mine
”Natsukawa-san is absent today”
”Ka-Kaoru?”
I-I was struck!
”You didn’t get in touch with her?”
”No, I didn’t contact her”
It was probably more accurate for me to say there was 'no way' for me to do so
Because I did neither know her cell phone number nor her email
”Could it be that Natsukawa-san is really angry?”
”Angry? Why?”
”Think about it Eita threay his own girlfriend, and ran off to be so?”
”Who’s a Prince Char?”
I reinates from Kobe came in his ride'
Well, if it was Chiwa, she could even eat raw horse-meat sashi+mi happily
”In short, now you're sure to give Natsukawa-san some sort of explanation, aren't you?”
”Well”
How should I say it?
Technically, we aren’t really in a relationshi+p
No… wait
That person said so like that before
—'Don’t be so kind with other girls right in front of me'
shi+ver! I felt a chill
Theakened in my brain…
What an unusual feeling
”Do you knohere her house is?”
”I don’t It looks like it's in the same direction as my house”
”After school, find a teacher and ask him about it, Eita-kun[2]”
”Yeah”
It'll be like that
Chiwa said that she would be eating with her fa home first
I have so to ask Masuzu, too
Society for Bringing Out Your Maiden Self, also known as 'Jien-Otsu'
What is going to be happen to our club after this?
♦
According to the map the instructor drew, I needed to head southwest fro a short distance, I would see Masuzu’s house
This place was not a small distance from my house
In fact, Masuzudetour to walk home with me
Was she acco me?
Nor detour…
I thought about this as I walked on the riverside
”I will hug youuuuuuu veeeeery tight! That will be your punishment, OK!”
”Waah!”
I suddenly felt a tight embrace from behind me
The perfume I was so familiar with caused my nose to itch
It was Natsukawa Masuzu
”W-Why are you acting just the same as yesterday?!”
”This is not merely 'behavior', it has some JoJo neta[3] as a bonus By the way, these are some lines from Wired Beck in part two”
”Only you would rerunt[4]!”
Even if you came here specifically to bicker with me
Masuzu-san’s is leaning onht[5]!
Bendi—
Really Bending!
It feels so wonderful
”You look quite healthy”
”Yes, thanks to you”
It was completely just like the typical Masuzu
Not good
Right now, I feel like I'm all over the place
”In any case: Why are you walking around here? Could it be that your house is close here?”
”Eh? U to Naruse to buy reference books”
A makeshi+ft lie on the spot
Naruse was a nearby bookstore affiliated with Hane High School It had a range of reference books, along with ht there
Finals were ale…
”I see, you’re always so studious”
Masuzu casually nodded
My heart relieved, I said:
”Yesterday, the person who threw that aluminum rod, it was you”
”[]”
”Thank you, it was a great help”
”Nah, it was irlfriend' would do”
Masuzu’s words were steady and expressionless, giving no hints for others to detect her true feelings
It didn’t even seery
”Right, why didn’t you come to school today?”
”That My very own sickness, it's just a self performance”
”In other words, feigned illness?”
”No, it was a club activity”
Masuzu said decisively:
