Vol 3 Chapter 2 (2/2)
Relieved, I rubbed my chest It looked like I wouldn’t become a criminal boyfriend
”But, 'Jien-Otsu' is no more”
Masuzu used her fingers to poke a droplet of water on her glass cup, sighed, and said:
”I thought that solving Mana’s issue would be all I didn’t think Fuyuumi Ai would be next The seeds of trouble sprout one after another, it's seely endless”
”You don’t have any counter a crime”
”Well, it’s not that there aren't any”
Masuzu raised three fingers, then she said:
”The first option is that we have activities as a group, but not officially as a club”
”Ah, I see”
Wasn’t that solution fine?
If they weren't a club activity, it would just be 'playing with friends' As long as they don't get too out of hand in school, the disciplinary committee can't make too many remarks
”However, this has a major flaw”
”Which is?”
”Because there is no club room, there is no place to store the Holy Bible of popular people, 'JoJo' As a result, this plan is NG[4]”
”That counts as a flaw?”
It didn’t really matter, and she had a full set at her house
”The second option is the creation of a new club”
”Eh, even though our club has just been shut down?”
”The na Maidens Again'”
”Aren’t you just adding one or tords?”
It didn't matter if it was Re-Self-Creation, it was still first Self-Creation, and it would always be 'Jien-Otsu'
”But you can’t just change the nae, the disciplinary coain”
”As a result, the probleain, so the best option is the third way”
Masuzu’s pupils flashed with light
”Find out the disciplinary committee member Fuyuumi Ai’s weakness”
”In the end it’s just a crime If it were that easy to find people’s weaknesses, no one would have to work so hard, right?”
”That’s not necessarily true”
Masuzu gave an intriguing smile
”Fuyuu in the infirmary, 'of course I have a mere boyfriend' Do you remember that?”
”Yeah, I remember, his name was Michel?”
”Yes, Daigoro”
Masuzu took out a little notebook and flipped through the pages, and said:
”Actually, the day we didn’t have school, Harusaki-san and I were asking all around about Fuyuumi Ai”
”So you actually did that kind of thing?”
Masuzu read her notes aloud:
”Fuyuus to the disciplinary committee, and has never participated in a club Lives in a single parent home and her family relations include a father and a little brother Because of her father’s work, they asaki in the south, they have h they came and went from the mountain city of Hanenoyama several times, they have coh school”
”Following one’s father everywhere must be really hard to do”
”Really? Being able to stay domestically in japanese borders is pretty convenient already”
”[]”
When Masuzu, having had returned from somewhere abroad, said this, I was left speechless
This girl’s family seemed to be very complicated
”Because of this, we know that Fuyuumi Ai does not know that many people It seems like the only person she knows is her close friend Asoi Kaoru Frorade, they were in the same class”
”Yeah, I already heard Kaoru talk about it”
”I also intended to ask Asoi-kun, but I did not realize he would avoid me so skillfully He really is impressive”
”Hahaha, he is my best friend after all!”
”Those two things don’t matter now”
”Ah, really?”
After being shot down so hard, I felt a little sad
”But I did obtain soence from Fuyuumi Ai’s classmates”
”What intelligence?”
”They've never heard anything at all about this so-called boyfriend 'Daigoro'”
”That’s not really a clue, right?”
Masuzu winked and said:
”It's because they never heard anything, that this is a point which deserves focus”
What did she ic
”Fro off her boyfriend, Fuyuuht?”
”That Well, it's probably right”
Indeed
She did show off Michel to Chiithout restraint
If one took love as a kind of 'status' and showed it off as if it was 'jewelry', this was a habit that was associated with love-struck people
”Nevertheless, why do you think it’s significant that no one else knows about the Daigoro thing?”
”Is she keeping her boyfriend a secret from her classmates? And yet she said it so clearly to us, who are her enemies?”
”Ah”
Now that she mentioned it, it eird
Even Kaoru, as so close to her, didn’t seem to know about Michel
Why did she say it to Masuzu and the others?
”There is only one answer, and that is Daigoro does not exist In other word— he was a fictional character that Fuyuumi made up”
”So rather than 'acting as a boyfriend'Fake, it’s outright a 'false boyfriend'Dummy”
Self-created, fake, is
”This is the point where I want to request so from Eita”
Masuzu’s tone became solemn as she said:
”I want you to get close to Fuyuuoro’s existence is a lie”
”When you say get close to her, how do I do that?”
”It’s easy, right? Because you’re in the same class as her in summer cram school”
”How come you already know that?”
She ell-informed as always
How did this girl set up her intelligence network? Even though she had no friends It was really a mystery where she obtained her information from
”Since you rejected o to the fireworks festival, you should at least do this s for me”
”I understand”
I sighed
”But, let's say that I discover that Fuyuumi really doesn't have a boyfriend”
”Ara, then what?”
”Seeing that she's such a serious and responsible person Why would she spread these kinds of lies which will soon enough be exposed?”
”She would lie”
Masuzu unhesitatingly insisted
”In this world, there isn't such a thing as a woman that does not lie”
”[]”
Is that true?
”Whatever, for Eita who's only interested in girls' butts, he surely won’t understand”
”WHAT'S WITH THOSE FALSE ACCUSATIONS?!”
”Eita: 'There doesn't exist a girl whose butt isn't beautiful!' (Wink)”
”THAT'S WHY I KEEP TELLING YOU NOT TO ATTRIBUTE STRANGE LINES TO PEOPLE—!”
So cruel!
Quite certainly, the destructive power of her poisonous tongue was several tireater than ever!
I fearfully raised my hands and said:
”Then, Masuzu-san, this hu that I want to ask as a favor”
”What is it?”
”Would it trouble you to return to the tone you used to speak with in the beginning?”
Otherwise, I’d end up adopting that kind of manners!
”Why?”
”Well, I feel like, I guess, I should say your tone is too cold now? Your poisonous tongue has released its liet a broken heart from it?”
Masuzu grunted, brought one hand to her cheek, and looked pensive for a moment
I— even though I was just insulted by her, I was attracted to how her face looked
She looked listless, her gaze wavering, as she sighed slightly She looked just like an actress
Even though I could praise her looks as beautiful, I didn’t only just mean it like that
She looked just like she was 'expressing so'
As for what she was expressing, I can't possibly know
”Well then”
Masuzu said simply
”I'll think about”
As she stared out of theI saw the profile of her face and I still felt like it was a
So beautiful
♦
Later, we chatted aimlessly for thirty minutes before we finished
Being on the way home by myself, I noticed——
”Things have just becoain”
Thanks to Kaoru, I was about to live in harmony with Fuyuumi But now it had become a 'dilemma' once more
The situation was no different from the first semester
No, it orse
Why? I should neither have the 'physique that attracted mayhem' nor the personality and so on
Ever since I had beco into this kind of stuff?
”I-I’ to admit I lost”
I looked up to the stars' summer constellations and secretly vowed
How could I just lose to some mayhem?
I would definitely make my ideal summer!
