Vol 4 Chapter 2 (2/2)
Ironman called out her name softly, and with just that alone, shi+mizu-san kept quiet
”This is the second warning Behave yourself and get back to your own classroo to this class Understand?”
” understood”
Reluctantly, shi+, she once again glared at me as if I were an enemy of her parents
”You guys, don't play around during lesson ti your breaks”
On hearing that, my classmates put away their razors and put back their chabudai
With that, thanks to Irons had come to a close --- it seemed
Break tih the experience of razors and chabudai hurtling towards me, as I returned from the toilet, the usual three --- Yuuji, Hideyoshi+, Muttsuliini, those three --- were sitting at Yuuji's place, facing one another and talking about so What is it, I wonder
”What's up with you guys Making such serious faces”
”Mu, Akihisa huh You caht time”
Hideyoshi+ ed
”What's up? Is there trouble?”
” (nod)”
”Yeah Thanks to you, trouble see”
Yuuji said with a sigh I see Trouble again This class really can't take a breather with the various bothersome stuff
”So, what's the trouble you're referring to?”
” D-class see for a Summoner Test War”
”Summoner Test War? D-class?”
The Suth are deter The outcome of the ill decide the facilities of the classes, rave importance but,
”Even if D-class were to attack B-class, it won't really concern us right? At any rate, our class has yet to regain the right to wage a su war anyways”
We've already applied for a Summoner Test War in April and after our loss, as a penalty to F-class, on't get the right to apply for another war for 3 months Since we couldn't apply for a war, how the other classes wereshouldn't be a matter of concern for us
”Like what you said, if D-class were ai for B-class, there wouldn't be a problem but”
Hideyoshi+ trailed off
”Eh? It's not that? In that case, are they ai for A-class?”
By the way, C-class lost to A-class in a Summoner Test War previously, and now has the same type of facilities as D-class Given that, D-class should not be ai for C-class
”Are you an idiot? If there were the case, on't be feeling troubled right?”
”Then, don't tell me”
” D-class is ai for this very F-class”
”Eehhhh?”
How can that be! Impossible!
”But, isn't it that we have yet the right to have a Summoner Test War?”
”Yeah Indeed, F-class does not have the right to apply for a Suainst another class However, it doesn't mean that Summoner Test Wars do not concern us at all Even if we can't initiate a war against another class, we can't afford not to fight back one that is initiated against us”
According to the rules of the Su class is unable to apply for a Summoner Test War for 3 months This is a rule to prevent the Su drawn out, but, nowhere was it written in the rule that a class which has lost cannot participate in a Summoner Test War, it seems
”But, we are the F-class which should have the worst facilities, and there shouldn't be anyone ould coht?”
There is plenty of her ranked class Since that her ranked class win against the lower ranked class, the higher ranked class wouldn't be able to upgrade their facilities so there is no merit for theet their facilities downgraded
”That's why like I said earlier, it's thanks to you that we got ourselves into such a troublesome situation”
Thanks to me? What did I do?
”Akihisa I say The opponent is D-class Isn't there so a bell in your mind?”
Erm, the opponent is D-class What comes to my mind would be ---
” don't tell me, it's shi+mizu-san?”
” (nod)”
Muttsuliini gave a small nod
”You've done it Akihisa Thanks to you flirting around with shi+ot the fellas in D-class involved and is planning to take it out on us”
”N-no way! I've never planned for that to”
”But still, even if you didn't intended that, shi+mizu-san would think otherwise”
”Besides, didn't shi+ about the chabudai, she said It seems like in order to separate you and shi+e carton boxes”
If ere to lose the Sue carton boxes If that were to happen, indeed, on't be able to share the same seat It seems like that's the true purpose of shi+mizu-san
”B-but, there's no way the whole of D-class would buy this right? I doubt that the class will get involved in a ith such a purpose behind it Won't the representative of D-class object to this as well?”
The D-class representative is a a-kun e've battled out with previously He owed it to us to be able to retain his class facilities, and he had cooperated with us at the strengthening training cale objective It was quite unthinkable that he would agree to a war for theus
”That's where the probleht noe are the priirl will not hold any feelings of affection for us Rather, theyout punishment with their own hands perhaps”
”You already know this, but the D-class representative is a guy In his current situation of being treated as a peeping tom, he would have no say in the irls who are riled up froer, and shi+mizu, who's riled up from her jealousy”
”N-no way”
The way things are going, we'll end up going back to using those terrible facilities, the orange carton boxes No, they are already pretty terrible right now
”Yuuji, if they attack, are you confident in us winning?”
”Tough Thanks to the ruckus the fellas in our class caused since irls numbered merely two Even if our circumstances were perfect, ouldn't be able to cross swords without a strategy, but still, if we only have Hi, unless so extraordinary happens, there is no chance of us winning”
All the thening training camp and had been suspended after that If we don't replenish theuess The girls should have been able to replenish them while we suspended so there is no problem there
”In short, in our current situation, our only fighting strength are the girls Our F-class has two girls, while D-class has over twenty of theth is clear”
For example, even if Himeji is equivalent to ten people, the difference is about one tih situation
”In other words, it'd be wise to avoid the Suet D-class's facilities which holds no h the trouble ofa class which has a debt to us our enemy”
”Eh? Can we avoid it?”
”It depends on you and shi+h”
After saying that, Yuuji turned his head left and right to look around him
”Is so, Yuuji?”
”Yeah I' to see whether shi+mada is nearby”
”If you're looking for Minaether with Himeji-san just now”
When break time started, while I wasn't sure who initiated it, but Hiether They had a pretty serious look on their face, and probably had so important to talk to each other
”A scene of carnage I guess”
”A scene of carnage yeah”
” a scene of carnage”
”Eh? Are those two fighting?”
Speaking of that, those tere behaving strangely today I wonder what had happened between the the e weren't around
”That aside, Akihisa, there's so I need to verify”
”Huh? What is it?”
”Are you going out with shi+mada?”
That sentence which cah me
That's right Due to the ruckus since , I didn't really think too deeply into it, but, I have toout it see of that sorts
”According to h”
If we are really going out, then I' that
”But, shi+mada's behavior is clearly that of a person who's dating isn't it?”
”Yeah That was probably due to a mail which I sent out by mistake ---”
He explained the incident that had taken place at the strengthening training camp to the three of them He had sent out a mail which appeared to be a confession, but it was actually a
”I see Akihisa being Akihisa but Yuuji, you really picked a wonderful ti to do that”
”Really Yuuji You should gut yourself as an apology”
”Uwu Well, it was indeed my fault Sorry Akihisa”
” but, it's not enough for just Akihisa to verify the root cause”
”Yeah That's right”
Like what Muttsuliini said, the point is even if we knew it's totally Yuuji's responsibility, the inal cause was not due to anyone else buttree Besides, I did get back at him
”However, if this was a s easy”
”Eh? About what?”
”About the Summoner Test War with D-class If we resolve thewith shi+s, then shi+mizu will probably stay quiet If that were to happen, then even if D-class re core behind this Sus slide This o back to our daily routine”
After Yuuji, like his usual self, suggested the solution, the door suddenly burst open with so in
”Er-er to ask you!”
Hi her breath
”Eh? Wh-what is it?”
I was soentle Hi look on her face
”Er-erm! Did Akihisa-kun confess to Minami-chan?”
Hiradually tapered off as she spoke However, I could clearly understand what she was trying to say
”Eh, erm about that”
It was a little difficult to say it out It see bad to Minami
”Hi that, it's probably better to include shi+mada Do you knohere she is?”
Yuuji cut into our conversation Thanks for the help
”Minah”
”Alright In that case, let's all go to the rooftop This isn't such a good place to talk”
Rooftop huh It'd be easier to talk there with less people
”That's right I'o back up there”
”Ah, no I don't really mind”
”Well then, let's go”
”Right”
We stood up and headed to the rooftop While ere , Yuuji called out to Muttsuliini
”Muttsuliini Will you be able to ascertain whether that fella's eavesdropping devices are present?”
” probably, there will be They were set up in F-class as well”
That fella was probably referring to shi+mizu-san
”What happened to those in the F-class?”
” I've already re the lessons”
As expected of Muttsuliini As usual, he does his job fast
”I see That means, shi+ht?”
” (nod)”
In that case, we needed another way to let her know that our relationshi+p was adevices on the rooftop, then shi+mizu-san can probably use them to ascertain that --- which also ht In that case,
”Say, Muttsuliini If there are eavesdropping devices on the rooftop, can you make them unusable for just a short while?”
It's already bad enough to have caused her to misunderstand, if this were to be recorded, I would have done her too
” understood”
Just at the tireed, we reached the end of the stairs and could see the door leading to the rooftop
Subsequently, Yuuji, as leading, pushed open the door There, under the bright blue sky on the other side of the door, was the figure of Mina there quietly
”Ah, Mizuki --- you guys as well? Why are all of you together?”
Minami looked at us in surprise
”Muttsuliini”
” (nod)”
With a piercing look in his eyes, Muttsuliini looked around hi that, with a small device in one hand, he walked about the area While I don't knohat kind of device that was, it should be so devices and cameras and such
” okay”
Not even a minute had passed before Muttsuliini was done With that, shi+mizu-san would not be able to record our conversation It seems like I can talk without reservations
”What's wrong, Aki?”
”Ahh, erm”
Upon e of my brutally killed corpse surfaced in mind Since I was about to say to her, ”The confession arded as the lowliest thing that we could do to her There was no way Minami wouldn't be mad
”God, I seek your divine protection”
”? What are you doing, Aki?”
”Uhn I' a prayer”
After n of the cross to bless myself, I steeled myself and walked towards Minami in earnest
”Mina I want to tell you”
”Ah, right What is it?”
”You know, it's about thecamp”
”M-mail, you say, that mail?”
For some reason, Minami's face turned red
”Yeah About the mail, the truth is”
I could tell that I was starting to sweat frouilt-arisen fear It's ok It's ok Whatever happens, it shouldn't be at the extent of losing my lifeprobably
”The truth is?”
Looking into Minami's eyes as she returned the question, I announced clearly
”The truth is --- it's a ”
” eh?”
With her face flushed, Minami stiffened
”No, rather than to say it's a , it's probably ”
This may be despicable, but even if it's not like I have any bad intentions, I have to tell that to her For the sake of my life
”G-got it wrong, you say, so as the one”
Inquired Minami with her body stiffened up
As to whose address did Ithen
”Sugawa-kun I guess”
””Eehh!?””
For soether with Minami
”Th-then, Aki's confession was not to awa!?”
”N-no way! Even when others say otherwise, Akihisa-kun, I'd think you like girls, but, as you really guys instead, and to top if off, it's neither Sakaawa-kun!”
What's this? It's like thejust deepened
”No, it's not like this If I remembered correctly, a irls? Isn't Sakaawa-kun, and when I replied, I made a mistake in the address and it was sent to Minami”
Speaking of that, did Sugawa'sof ay? I don't get this at all
”But, theother than a confession ---”
Minami took out her cellphone fro it She's probably ascertaining the mail I sent
”Eh? Huh? Soe for a confession though”
”Is that so? Minami-chan, can I take a look at it as well?”
”Y-yeah”
Minami turned the display towards Himeji-san
”Erm what's this sickle mark attached to the head of the mail?”
”D-don't worry about that! It's just a decoration!”
Sickle mark? Did I make such a mark when I sent the mail?
”Akihisa, do you still remember what you sent?”
”Yeah, but I can't reh”
As a result ofbroken by Yuuji, I have no records of my mails, and in addition, I don't have a head that can retain the small details of the contents of a o
”What ritten in Aki's mail was 'Of course, there's no doubt that I love it right! Much more than someone like Yuuji!'”
That was soht If it were really a confession, I would want to word it a little more properly
”He one for a confession?”
”I didn't think ain e perhaps”
”If you have realized it earlier, things wouldn't have come to this”
”shi+mada is a returnee[3] It can't be helped”
Yuuji and Hideyoshi+ smiled wryly Indeed, if the other party was Hi would have been resolved at a e
On hearing that, Minaued
”B-but, anyone would have misunderstood it when he said that he loved it more than Sakamoto!?”
”No way! I'irls!”
Somehow, I feel that the point of debate is off!
”So good for you, Minami-chan I would also like to be told that”
”Himeji-san, you are weird too!? That sounded like it's a fact that I'ht!”
”A-Akihisa How should I reply to you?”
”Just normally duh!”
Right beforeHideyoshi+'s reaction, gahaha, he laughed in delight da a kick out of other people's misery!
”Well, anyway, because of that, there was a mistake in that mail”
”I see I've e, but now, it's finally clear”
”Ah-haha Minaot careless”
”Jeez I don't want to be told that by you, Aki, when you got the sending address wrong”
We both laughed cheerfully
And after we laughed for a short while
”What are you going to do about it!? That was my first kiss!!”

With lots of vigor, Minarabbed hold of my collars
”S-S-S-Sorryyy! I didn't have any bad intentions!”
”This isn't soht!?”
Indeed, it wasn't Erm, what should I say?
”You know, Minami”
”What!?”
”Erm --- it was h?”
”Of course not!”
The shrewd Yuuji jabbed in That's right huh Even I thought so
”Eh? I-is that so In that, case erm thanks for the treat?”
”Oiy! Are you fine with that shi+mada!?”
Notwithstanding, Minaave a reply that was out of our expectations
Speaking of that, there is one thing which I really wanted to know I shall take this chance to ask
”Say Minary though”
”Eh? What?”
”It's regarding theout, could it be that, Minami actually erm, likes me?”
”Ah! Th-that!”
Frantically, Mina manner
What had botheredfrorees different froht that I would definitely be rejected, but yet, Minami acted in a way that was completely opposite of that
That's why, I really wanted to know Perhaps, there was also a possibility that I wasn't really hated by Minami ---
”Ah, that, you see Miharu was getting really persistent, so I thought she ood ti”
Mina restlessly
”Aah, I see That's hoas huh”
I see, no wonder she did those various things openly without reservation I had ju conclusion huh
hn? Soret!
”Well well What a painful excuse Everyone can see through it except for one person”
”That's right Well, after being told that the confession was a , it's not like I can't understand why you want to put up a deception”
” you're not being honest”
”I-It's not like I' an excuse of any sort, really! Wh-Who would like such an idiot!”
See through, they said, it was probably referring to theWhat the hell Everyone had realized that it was a lie? I was the only one who didn't realize it huh
”Jeez, in that case, you should have toldMinami really likes me”
”Uwu Th-That can't be possible right!”
”Yeah I also thought it strange It's unthinkable that Minami will fall for me, besides ---”
”B-Besides what?”
”Besides, it's weird that Minaht?”
” that's right Good grief, it's just like what you said!!”
”Mi-Mina froh!?”
Even when it's already fragile because of a lack of calcium, but yet!
”Anyway, thehas been resolved What's left is to tell this to shi+ht?”
”Yeah With this, shi+mizu will probably accept it”
” I will relay this properly”
For now, one thing has been settled F-class can relax, I guess
”Eh? What are you talking about? Mizuki, did anything happen?”
”No, I' happen?”
”Aah, that's right You guys are out of the loop with regards to the matter with D-class The truth is ---”
As I listened to Yuuji's explanation to Himeji-san and Minami, I stared blankly up at the sky
Was Mina shi+mizu-san? I wonder
