Chapter 60: Aoba’s Secre (2/2)
Surrounded by onlookers, the commotion develops considerably. Taiyou found a familiar face in the onlookers. Approached him and called.
「Nakashima, what going on in here」
「Oh if isn’t it Natsuno, it’s just that, there were rumors a couple was having an affair, it’s that kind of story, and then the messenger of justice appeared, so they started to have a dispute」
「I see… I don’t really get it though」
In short, it was about entanglements of love or something, but the ally of justice somehow appeared at that time, this is the extent of what Taiyou understood. Nothing’s going to happen listening to Katsuki’s explanation, so he went towards the center of the commotion.
There were three people there. One man and two women. The man has gold hair and pierced ears, wearing his uniform sloppily he looked like he’s wearing a beginner’s outlaw look. One of the girls were decently cute, but she influenced by the man, she had a flashy getup and was wearing make-up. And the last one—
「Miyagi Aoba」
「Yeah, it’s Aoba-chan」
Katsuki responded to Taiyou’s whisper. As sociable as Katsuki is, just like with Kotone and the girls, he calls Aoba with a -chan.
「What? Say that thing one more time!!」
「I said that having an affair is the lowest」
「That’s none of your business, ain’t it?」
「It’s not about being my business or not, it’s the worst thing to do, so I told you it’s the lowest」
Hearing the conversation and combining it with Katsuki’s explanation, he somehow understood the situation. He doesn’t really understand why she is so meddlesome in these types of matters, but at least he understood that she really hates the thing called “affairs”.
If he thought about it, after being confessed by Kotone and girls, she was also imposing, even going as far as asking who Taiyou liked the best.
「Even so, you shouldn’t flare up at someone like that」
「Yes? Did you say anything Natsuno」
「Nope」
Taiyou shook his head. Unintentionally he muttered out the words words, but it’s something that Katsuki shouldn’t be told. He tried watch the development of the events as it is, but suddenly, the situation changed rapidly.
「Don’t joke around with me!!」
The gold-haired-piercing boy gets in enraged, pushing Aoba’s chest away. The power that comes from physical difference made Aoba stagger, tipping her balance, she flew backwards. The momentum doesn’t decline as she were pushed back against the wall, and with the “open window” at her back……she fell towards outside.
Aoba shortly reacted a second late and reached out her hand to grab the window frame……and grasped air. Just like that, her body disappeared beyond the window, pulled by gravity she fell.
Falling from the fourth floor was deadly. Taiyou who was there, “imagined” a scene like that.
「Aoba-chan!!」
From the Katsuki’s side, Taiyou kicked the ground and ran, and chased after Aoba who started to fall, and jumped out the window without hesitation. Lastly, he kicked the wall to accelerate, caught up to Aoba although having a late start, he held and squeezed her body tight. After doing that, he quickly verifies the surroundings for any place to hold on to.
「Hn!!」
With sheer will power he reached out his hand, and grabbed the school outer wall. It was literally a small crack in the wall. The moment his finger clutched it, he used his full strength. He heard the sound of his muscles stretching and churning, but the falling momentum had stopped. With a mere four fingers’ strength, he stopped the fall of two people completely. When he noticed it was only two floors left before the ground, it was barely the height from hitting the ground completely.
「Fuu……」
Taiyou let out a deep sigh. At worst he was resolute on covering her and falling first, but somehow he found somewhere to grab so he felt relieved. While dangling like a monkey with one hand, Taiyou dexterously fixed Aoba’s position in his other hand. And while jumping off, he put his arms around her back and the back of her knees to make sure of her safety while landing
In that position, with a bam they landed. The back of his legs numbed but did not mind. Hugged with a princess carry, Aoba had no injuries at all. cheers were heard from above.When he looked, many students leaned out the window, an applause was sent to the (Knight) Taiyou who saved the (Princess) Aoba.
「Daddy, Mommy」
Speaking about the Princess, she was shaking in his arms, making her body small, trembling, and calls out to her parents. That appearance of hers was so cute, if only she were normally this loveable, Taiyou thought. The next instance, Taiyou doubted his ears.
「Mama……Mother……」
「Hm?」
「Ah!……」
Aoba was startled and came back to herself, pushed Taiyou away, stood up, blushes and ran away.
「Daddy, Mommy……Mama and Mother?」
Taiyou was left behind standing dumbfounded in that spot, he had an expression as if he had just been bewitched by a fox.
