Vol 2 Chapter 9 (2/2)
Like her older sister, she was such as excessive character!
But when Masuzu did it, it didn’t matter so much
Because the person she did it to was me, it wasn’t important
After all, I once had ”past • eighth grade syndrome”
When she exposed it all, it was such a big hu blow that I wanted to die But that was the past, and it wasn’t now
However, Hime was ｢active｣
Reality was so frightening to her that she made up a fictional world of delusions and hid inside of it
If this delusion were to be exposed, ridiculed, and destroyed, she would have nowhere to go ---
”Kuwahahahahahahahhahahahahaha!”
Mana’s obnoxious laughter rang across the club room
”RE, REAL PRINCESS! It’s written likeit like PRINCESS! Please! Is this about her royal highness co it was such a hilarious thing ---?”
Hime’s hands clenched the curtains
Tears trickled down her face, and the crearadually wet as if sprinkled by rain
”Stop it!”
I tried to use uy was too heavy! What did he eat to become so muscular he’d never fall!
Then Mana turned to the next page:
♪ A real maiden (REAL PRINCESS) won’t be hurt
♪ Even during difficult ti forward
♪ Even if alone, she won’t cry
”So cold ~ ahh”
Mana gave a nasal laugh, and looked back towards Hime
”Didn’t you write, ｢Even if alone, she won’t cry ♪｣, right? But you’re a total ht now? That’s not like a REAL PRIN-CESS This is what you do for club activities? I don’t get it --- are ood? Or is your brain completely broken?”
Hile word in reply She just cried, clutching the curtains
♪ A real maiden (REAL PRINCESS) won’t be afraid
♪ Even whennew people, she’ll smile and say hello
♪ No matter who it is, she can instantly become friends
”I’ to feel as opposed to an ideal, this is actually closer to a delusion, right?”
Mana smiled wryly
”Suzu’s been participating in these kinds of club activities No wonder Dad is that angry He hates these kinds of people the most People who have neither brains nor power Only delusions And I have the sa”
♪ A real ed
♪ She’s always filled with love
♪ No ive up
♪ She’ll be able to walk to his Royal Highness’s carriage, and meet her prince one day
”Wuaahhahahaha! Look at that! There’s even a Prince here!”
There was nothing funny about it, but Mana continued to slap the table in laughter
”Really, just because there’s a princess, a royal prince will coh school? It’s more like a nursery school”
Maybe because her tears were completely dried up, Hime only stood expressionlessly
Mana---”
”It’d be better if your club renamed itself to be ｢Delusional Maidens Club｣ Abbreviated: Delusional-Club Awesome ♪” [4]
Hehehehahahahehaha
Mana’s laughter echoed against the s and walls
Then, Mana had aface as she took ---
What Chiwa suggested……
What Masuzu gave out……
What Hime desperately tried to write with all her effort……
The assignment notebook
And with a sharp sound --- tore it apart
Stop joking
”Stop joking!!! You bastard!!!”
I focused all of th to my feet, and strained so much to stand up, I think I nearly broke some blood vessels
I overcaht of the man in the black suit, and stood up!
Was this a scene of fiery spirit driving one to insane strength?
Or the man in black’s carelessness?
Whichever it was, it didn’t matter
As long as I can stop this bastard woh, I don’t care!!
”Soh at!”
I ferociously cried out, scaring Mana expressionless
”Every person has so delusion! I have one! My brain has a pile of delusions that willdelusions, on, and receive the welcoht with invisible eneuitar, and can ride a uy! Of course I reality, none of those things will ever coels? Even the girls in uitars, I can’t even play a recorder And when I say le one will turn into reality! I’ht as well just die!”
Mana, struck duave a call
”Yasuoka, shut this guy up”
Bang! There was a loud noise
Sparks scattered around lued to the ice-cold wall
--- Ah, I was punched?
By the ti blood
”Eehh!”
I heard Hime’s quiet shriek from the side
I fell to the floor where round
damn!
How can I lose!?
I clenched my teeth and stood up
”Even so, I can’t help but to continue with my delusions Because I am alive, people have hope, and it’s a , isn’t that so? Compared to yesterday, today is better; coht? That’s e have delusions Because of that, I’ine a thousand delusions, maybe one day at least one will coive up! If we stop drea delusions, we can only wait to be crushed under reality!”
My ears rang with a cracking sound, and my head spun wildly for spell
Strange? I’ve been punched again?
To stop rab the steel bookshelf, but I only scattered a JOJO books from the shelf I tried to twist my body to avoid them, but I still stepped on a few books
Hirohiko Araki-sensei, I'm sorry! [5]
This would definitely ry!
Cory hits were definitely much scarier
”Are you an idiot?”
Mana sniggered
”How can delusions possibly coood enough evidence for you?”
This girl said things that could ry
She was really powerful, like a genius evil queen
But --- thanks to her, I was filled with strength
”It will come true”
I wiped ain
”No, I will make it come true just for you to see”
The man in black punched in the cheek
My vision wavered
My body burned hot like I had a fever, and the depths of my brain felt numb
--- I won’t budge!
If I fall, Hime’s poem will only be treated as a ｢delusion｣, and it’ll all be over
But no
Her Prince will come
He’ll definitely come!
”W-ait, what’s going on?”
Mana’s easy-going expression finally turned rigid
”Why are you pushi+ng yourself to this extent? You’ve been beaten to pulp by Yasuoka If you heard about his experience, it’d make you want to pee in your pants, so you better lie down I don’t deliberately mean to---”
”Apologize!”
I growled, as I brought my bloodstained face closer to Mana
”Apologize to Hi her poem!”
”What?”
Mana repeated, as she took a step backwards
I stepped forward
Mana drew backwards
”W-hat are you? What kind of person are you?”
”I am ---”
I drew in a big breath
I faced Mana, as well as Hime who hid in the curtains, and said,
”I am Natsukawa Masuzu’s boyfriend, Harusaki Chiwa’s childhood friend, and Akishi+no Hiht of Dawn｣ Kidou Eita! Remember that, you bastard!”
When I finished, Mana was backed up coainst the wall next to the---
”--- That’s enough, Mana”
I looked back, and Masuzu was standing in the doorway
She looked grieved, as she looked around at the devastation in the club room
”Eita-kun and Akishi+no-chan haven’t done anything wrong As long as I go back, that’s all?”
”Y-you understand, right?”
Mana distinctly gave a sigh of relief
”Right? If Suzu was this obedient froht? I didn’t mean to do it on purpose Oh --- silly me, I was careless”
”Hey, Masuzu”
With , I approached my ｢Girlfriend｣
Masuzu had an expression that seemed like she was about to cry, and she took out a handkerchief
”Eita-kun, your injury looks serious”
I pushed away Masuzu’s hand, which had approached to wipe away the blood on my nose
”Hey, listen to me”
”Eita-kun, let me deal with this”
Masuzu’s hand extended once again
”Listen to me, Masuzu”
I shoved away her hand
”Please, let me treat your injury”
Masuzu’s voice was mixed with tears
”Why did you have to try doing this sort of thing? Am I even worth it, that you’d do this to yourself? I don’t deserve it I am a fake, so ---”
”Listen to me, Masuzu!”
My shout caused Masuzu’s shoulders to shake
”Please listen tomore So please, listen to my last request as your boyfriend”
”What are you saying?”
I looked back at the curtains, at the silhouette of Hi
”The person who has so to say isn’t me It’s Hime”
Hihtly
With big wide eyes, Hiht at me
”That was a very cute poem”
””
”But, as a poe you want to convey A poehth-Grade Syndrome｣, are always self-centered, and self-s that you have So to really express it, it’s probably better to just say it aloud”
Hiht at me
”Wait ato do all of sudden?”
Mana impatiently pecked in
”This isn’t Onii-san’s stage time, just rewind past it”
”This is our club problem, so you back down, you stupid blonde!”
Mana’s face twisted with humiliation
”Hey, Yasuoka, get rid of this guy”
Thesounds, and leaned over
Not good
The effects fro hit around the first tiht now Compared to the time in front of the train station, my injuries froht with four people This guy was really a worthy bodyguard, and he had really professional skill
When I thought it was all over for ure appeared in front of me
Hime
She stretched her arms open wide
”Don’t”
Hime’s voice was accoht
”Don’t! Don’t! Don’t! Don’t! Don’t! Don’t! Don’t hit Hi with our club! This is Hime and Eita’s place! It was really, really hard to this place! This was the place---
President and Chihuahua were going to have club activities together! S-so go away!!!!!”
Masuzu’s body was clearly shaking
She’s not afraid
Rather, Hi
”Well said, Himechi!”
The door opened with a loud noise
Everyone turned back simultaneously, to see Chiith a shi+nai in the center position
”What Hiht! This is our place All you non-et out, otherwise---!”
Whish!+ The sharp edge sliced through the air
This look made one remember the time when Chias known as ｢Sword Ace Chihuahua｣ She used her bri eyes
The man in black’s face turned pale Maybe he sensed Chiwa’s extraordinary ability He left me, in order to stand in front of Mana to protect her
Good
There was one final person
”Masuzu”
I called out the name of my stupefied ｢Girlfriend｣ who stood there blankly like an idiot
”I’ll ask you yesterday’s question again --- what are you going to do? Do you want to stay here? Or not?”
Masuzu stared at my face, and then at Chiwa and Hime
Her expression was gradually restored with vigor
Gradually filled up with strength
She came back with a fearless smile!
”Eita-kun”
”Eh”
”Who are you talking to, with that extraordinary look?”
Masuzu casually combed her silver hair upward, and smiled
She looked back to see Mana stunned
”I want to stay here”
”Eh? W-what is this?! You just said you were going to go back!”
”Yes, I thought about saying it like that to you once, to feed your insignificant self-ego”
”In-insignificant? Don’t joke, Suzu! You’re going to ignore your family’s orders? You’re not afraid of dad?”
”I do not understand the convict’s statement”
”Who’s the convict?”
”I hope they’re light on the prison sentence You go make the confession”
”What are you talking about?”
”Then go self-destruct”
”It’s even worse?”
If she could coue, then there was no problem
Natsukawa Masuzu was completely revived!
”Miss, it’s about time to”
The man dressed in black whispered in Mana’s ear
When I noticed, the door had been drawing huge crowds, all people from the cultural clubs After all the commotion with the door wide open, it was iather
”Get out”
Masuzu pointed at the door, and said firmly
”In this room, only maidens with excellent qualifications are permitted to enter Of the male sex, only Kidou Eita is allowed --- okay, so those without qualifications, get out now!”
Masuzu’s cold attitude caused everyone in the cultural clubs to go ”woaah,” and then burst into cheers and applause Only Yamaed to sneak in, clenched his fists and shook them what happened to your practice?
Mana very unwillingly clenched her fists
”Suzu, you will regret this”
”More iht now Say, ｢I’m sorry｣ Come on!”
”N-no!”
”Mana”
Masuzu suddenly narrowed her eyes
”You’re going to disobey the words of your older sister?”
”!”
Suddenly shi+vering, Mana bit her lower lip
”Sorry”
”I can’t hear you”
”I'm sorry! It was my fault!”
No ize… Well, we can’t expect anything htly It seeer
Then, Masuzu directly glared at Mana and said,
”Tell that person, I will never go back Tell hi for mom whom he threay”
Mana whimpered like a child, and exposed a few tears,
”Fool! You really, really, really are a fool! At this point, it’s impossible for that person to co deeply hurt!”
Thearm, and took her away
The two of them pushed away the crowd and left, and the crowd itself slowly dispersed The door was shut --- and once again the club was left in peace
Me, Masuzu, Chiwa, and Hime
This was the space for the Society of Young Maidens Club
”It’s finally back to normal ---”
I was about to laugh when I suddenly feltaway from me
Ah, no good
As soon as I relaxed, it see injured…
”Eita-kun!”
”Ei-kun!”
”Eita!”
I listened to their three voices overlapping ---
I fell to the ground facing the scattered JOJO books on the floor
