Vol 4 Chapter 6 (2/2)

“I see Just by spreading this e, it’ll make Class D ht a hopeless Su up their sleeves’ – You want theht?”

Hmm, like this, they’d be more and , and wouldn’t be taking any rash actions

“Ah! Right! Yuuji andout at Class D’s corridor last time, it really was for……”

“Hmm, most of them are correct That time I only wanted the their points’, but now things have changed In their eyes, they’d probably feel: ‘Sakamoto and Yoshi+ who obviously have classes at a different building hanging out here is really suspicious, are they pretending that way to let us take the initiative and declare war upon them?’ This way I planted the seed of suspicion A coincidence happening arded as a coincidence; this is the way hu any intentions – so it’s normal for them to think this way”

This guy Yuuji……I didn’t expect hiht this far by that ti speed would speed up, that’s really scary Is this what they y’s reincarnation? It looked like he’d already considered everything carefully……

“Theythis on’t benefit the their classrooiven an opportunity, they’ll surely agree to form a truce with us”

“If they are given an opportunity……That ht?” Even if we are done regulating our forces, there's no good opportunity, so it would be hard to propose a truce……I guessed that Yuuji thought this way

It’s not wrong, if there’s no good opportunity, it’s highly impossible for both sides to want to form a truce

“Right, the last bloill be by taking out their head”

“Their head……you a-san? But, if we can deal with their head, what do we need a truce for?”

“We can’t do anything to Hiraga Class D is already alerted to us, Hiraga surely won’t coa alone”

After hearing Yuuji’s explanation, Himeji-san clapped her hands once suddenly

“I know, you’re talking about shi+ht?”

“Correct If we finish off shi+mizu, the main force of Class D won’t dare to take any action If ant to for an exaood opportunity”

Thinking back, the one as actually calling the shots and coi-san, but shi+mizu-san So if we could take shi+mizu-san out, it’d be easier for us to form a truce with Class D

“That’s just it, so Akihisa, it’s you who’ll be going to the empty classroom beside this one alone, and face shi+mizu in a solo battle”

“Eh? I need to go?”

If ant to beat shi+mizu-san, there should be another candidate more powerful and suitable

“I didn’t replenish ive orders at any time Muttsurini also shared the same fate with me Moreover, we can’t let others find out Hi unexpected happens, she’ll need to join the defensive army So, this mission can only be completed by you”

Minami and Hideyoshi+ are currently on the frontlines, the other students have their own duties respectively And also, I’ my summoned beast than anybody, so that makes me the best candidate

“And don’t forget, you’ll be the best to provoke shi+mizu I heard the whole story from Hideyoshi+, but after that, didn’t you successfully provoke her?”

“Oh……That, that's…How should I put it……I, I’m not clear about it myself……”

Let’s not talk about how the provocation went, but I’et rid of the most

“Ah, so this is how the choice is made”

Hi to our conversation silently pointed to the stack of paper on Yuuji’s desk, as if she just understood so She meant that only one person is deployed into the empty classroom, and that's the part that I play

“As expected of you, Himeji; you are really sharp with your eyes”

“……Sorry, and what does that mean?”

By the way, I’ they just said

“To put it……For exaawa that position, and you’ll be his opponent Seeing Sugawa stand here, ould you think?”

“Will I even be thinking anything……I will just feel that it’s rather less”

The empty classroom that Yuuji referred to doesn’t have a leader inside it that needed to be closely guarded, and taking the positions into account, it’s not a location that needs to be fought for That way, even if we threw any randouy into that empty classroo too much about it

“Right, most people would think this way But, what if I put in another condition?”

“Condition?”

“Right If at that tiawa for His look like?”

“That, that, for me……”

Oh……Me and Sugawa-san fighting over Hietting Hi very important, even if there isn’t a Suawa-san off, and to think that Sugawa-san thinks the saawa-san waited in an empty classroom alone –

“I’d think that he’s waiting for s the hard way”

“Right, things are like this”

As if he’s saying ‘you answered nicely’, Yuuji nodded with approval

“To put it another way, to another’s eye, Akihisa who is waiting in an empty classroom is just a small pawn, but to shi+ to battle with her, and you are waiting in an empty classroom for her To let others think this way too, I let you join the frontline at the beginning, to let them know you’re here”

So that's why Yuuji told h I still have enough points to continue battling, I did not fully participate in the frontline fight just toshi+ for you”

“Saka him ‘you can retreat to the front of our classroom’ just now is to……”

“If I didn’t do it this way, they wouldn’t know that Akihisa is here waiting for her Because of that, while waiting for the their points so that we can negotiate a truce with theh their defense at the corridor and stairs, and let shi+ for her in an empty classroom, we also couldn’t let the enee On how to solve this problem exactly, it’s really hard for me to anticipate”

Yuuji is right, if we can lure out shi+mizu-san, maybe we can propose a truce with them before we are defeated But……

“Will things go that smoothly?”

I’m still worried Especially under these conditions, I really can’t anticipate whether shi+e me one-on-one

“All I can say is, just wait and see”

Yuuji is still full of confidence

“Oh……Since Yuuji dared to say that, then there shouldn’t be any problem”

“Good! Now that everything’s clear, Akihisa should get into the empty classroom as soon as possible; I’ve no idea when both defensive lines will be broken through

“Understood, I’ll go there now”

I nearly grasped my mission Now I’ll just follow Yuuji’s words, and then enter the empty classroom and wait for shi+mizu-san

“Before shi+mizu appears, we’ll just standby here”

“I’m fine with that……hehe”

“Himeji, what's up with you? It’s actually rude of you to smile at me that way”

“Ah, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to”

“Then what did you mean to do?”

“No, I just feel that no matter how you put it, Sakamoto-kun really understands Akihisa-kun”

“Ah? Wh-why are you suddenly saying so?!”

“It’s irrelevant, you don’t have to be shy about it”

“I’……”

“Because, if you don’t really understand Akihisa-kun, you can’t carry out that plan you've mentioned just now, can you?”

“Youshi+mizu out?”

“Yes”

“……Oh, let’s not talk about understanding him, all I have to do is think about Akihisa’s personality, and then I can guess what Akihisa said to shi+mizu when Hideyoshi+ left yesterday To shi+”

“Me too……I don’t knohy, but I can guess what Akihisa-kun said”

“That guy is stupid, so it’s easy to grasp the way he thinks”

“It’s because he’s honest, it must be so”

“I don’t agree”

“Hehe, Sakamoto-kun is very untruthful”

“Tut, whatever you say……But, you really don’t mind?”

“Uh? What do you mean?”

“No, this matter seems bad for you……”

“About this……I guess so……It does make me unhappy, but—“

“But what?”

“……But, this is why I find Akihisa-kun attractive”

“Uh? Pardon, I didn’t hear you very well just now”

“Ah, nothing, I didn’t say anything”

“Really? But, still……Thanks for the info”

“I, I hate you, I think you heard it very clearly!”

While waiting in the e else to do I felt like playinga book just to kill ti ready to challenge others, and if a teacher findconsole will be confiscated Since I have no choice, I’ll just daydream here

Then, Minahts

Was my attitude towards Minami unacceptable?

Is Minah?

Am I hated down to the core by her?

Such questions caht about it a lot, but the ot I knew that I’d face this problehts

I felt frustrated byhard to ponder the answer for these questions

I couldn’t tidy up hts, and I also could not find a trace to the answer Because of that, I decided to continue thinking

Just when I fell deep in thoughts, I heard so closer and closer

“……It’s about time she comes”

I clearedAfter all this was a crucialwell for the bodyguards at the classroom? I closed my eye forcefully, and tried to sn the uneasiness, because I still had a mission to complete

I could hear the ruckus caused by the defensive battle, and I felt that someone from the enemy that passed by noticed me

I continued waiting

“It’s great that you are waiting here alone, Miharu has so to say!”

After waiting for a while, I suddenly heard the voice of the person that I’ for Great, she’s finally here

I let out a sigh of relief, and slowly openedin front of me

“You have so to say to me? What is it about?”

I walked slowly to her as I said that

Although I’d been waiting for her for a while, I had nothing worth telling her

“It’s nothing s up”

While saying that, she stared at me with pure hatred It seems like she really detests me

“It’s fortunate that there’s a Su on, I can take this opportunity and settle things once and for all”

Standing behind shi+mizu-san was Fuse-sensei, it looked like she’s fully prepared for the occasion If I escaped fro the battle and is the sae

Since shi+, there’s nothing else that I could do Or…… did she think that I wouldn’t reject her challenge, believing that I wanted to settle things with her once and for all too?

-- All I can say is, the way she thinks is really scary

“I understand, we’ll fight this out, shi+mizu-san”

When I said that, shi+mizu-san turned to Fuse-sensei and said: “Teacher, per”

“I know”

Once we received Fuse-sensei’s permission, shi+mizu-san and I summoned our beast with Chemistry as the battle subject

“ “Summon!” “

We shouted at the saical seal appear at our feet Following that, appearing in the o the summoned beasts

Both of us let our su at each other

shi+mizu-san is pretty experienced with Su with brute force this tiht with caution

Both of us were trying to find openings on our body, this continued for a while

“……Right, before fighting, I’ve so that I want to confirm with you”

In such a tight at a close eye on the su to me

“About what?”

I replied, undoubtedly without letting my eyes off the summoned beasts too

“It’s about what you said yesterday”

“Uh……”

“Did you say that just to instigate this battle? Miharu otiation yesterday, the words you said before leaving”

She meant the report about “Class F wants to battle with Class D all along” shi+otiation yesterday, I guess that's why she had such inquiries

“That’s……”

I couldn’t answer her instantly, and stayed silent for a while

Even if I told her the truth, would she believe me?

No matter how I answer, she treats all of my words as lies From everyone’s point of view, it was us that used Minami…But we really did use Minaotiation yesterday

“Then?”

shi+ain, but I still didn’t have the answer

“If so……”

She treatedit, shi+mizu-san didn’t continue her inquiries, and kept her mouth closed instead

“……”

“……”

The su that way silently

We didn’t stare at each other It’s because shi+ on the summoned beasts any more

A few seconds passed, and she stayed that way

Suddenly, shi+ voice

“……She cried”

That tone ht be soft but it was filled with fury

“……When onee-sama ran away yesterday……She cried……”

Hearing these words, I recalled the scene

shi+ when she rushed out of the classroom

“She cried because of Miharu’s words……But, the reason she cried……the real reason she cried was—“

shi+mizu-san slowly raised her head, froht I saw a burning inferno of hatred

“ – was you! Because of a guy like you! Hurt her and made her cry!”

That line was like a tip, shi+mizu-san’s summoned beast rushed at mine

She chose to attack directly, I hurried to dodge that attack

“Oh!”

My body felt a burst of pain

I wasn’t hit by her directly, as the th? Was it because of our difference of points?

Class D shi+mizu Miharu VS Class F Yoshi+ Akihisa

Chemistry 112 points VS 22 points

I squinted to confirm the difference between our points; the difference was approxily at a disadvantage

“Why is it that a pathetic guy like you can stay at onee-sama’s side! Why does a person like you who only kno to play with other’s feelings dare to talk to onee-sama! “

The opponent slashed like a child throwing a tantruain, the heavy strikes made my hands start to feel numb

It’s true I made Minami cry

It’s also true that we used Minami

But—

“Just to use Minauys lied to her inconsiderately, and purposefully became close to her as friends! Why is it so!”

--Ha!

I raised the wooden sword to block the opponent's slashi+ng sword

But, even so, I’m still…

“……I did not……lie!”

I pushed her blade away forcefully

“What, what did you say!”

It’s true that I did s

I hurt her, and made her cry

That’s why my words are so despicable that others find it hard to believe

But, even so—

“My words, are not lies!”

With the blunt sounds of battle around us, ain

“What?”

That’s right, that's not a lie

Even if that part about being in a relationshi+p was just acting, even if the kiss was just a , but my words to shi+mizu-san weren’t lies, they were spoken truthfully from the bottom of my heart

After all…Under those conditions, I’ht face

“Even if I’m an idiot, I still kno to differentiate on what kind of lies I’m allowed to say! And those words that I said to you yesterday are really from the bottom of my heart!”

After blocking her blade upfront, my wooden sword broke with a crack

Fighting head-on with an eneer than me, I’d lost a considerable amount of points

Under this condition, I had got no chance of winning

“But……I still won’t run away!”

Frankly speaking, this whole commotion was caused by me I had to be responsible for those people that I had involved!

Looking at this frole, this was a once in a lifeti shi+iven to Himeji-san or Yuuji, then I’m just the one to blame for all this commotion, and also an irresponsible piece of trash who only kno to run away Since I was given the chance to shoulder the responsibility, I must thank Yuuji—

“ “ “Summon!” “ “

“ “Eh?” “

The unexpected shout of suroup of Class F students that had finished replenishi+ng their points here, and he stood not far froet past the chaos in front of Class F and here

No, that's just a trivialinto the battle between me and shi+mizu-san?

“It’s an a so despicable!”

shi+mizu-san stared at me with fury What ambush, can it be—

“Yuuji! No matter how important it is to win this battle, you can’t do this!”

We agreed that this would be a one-on-one battle, but hi so many students, did he plan this to be an ambush? Of course I understand that this battle is very i it this way is just too despicable!

“I’, this is a war My duty is to protect the whole class” Yuuji said these words coolly, then hinted at the students behind him with his eyes

The summoned beasts that received their instructions—raised their weapons, then took a ready stance

“Don’t, don’t do this—“

“Attack!”

I couldn’t stop the us stabbed with their swords and spears

-- Ai for my summoned beast

“…Eh?”

At the turn that things have taken, my mind went blank for a moment

When I started to realize as happening around

“It hurts alottttttttttttttt! Eh, what is it now? I’ve never felt such pain before! Andme from my toes to the top of my head!”

“shi+mizu, I’ve already taken care of the person who is responsible for all these troubles, so, are you willing to let this go?”

“Wahhhhhhhhhh! Did so stabbed and hit s the pain to a whole new level!”

shi+ on the floor in pain

Then, she sighed deeply

“……that's so, although doing this can’t quench Miharu’s anger……”

Sha shoof--- A sound filled with strength resonated in the classroom

“shi+, shi+mizu-san! Hasn’t the winner of the battle decided? Why are you still attacking me with such fury! It hurts hurts hurts hurts hurts! The pain of being stabbed through fro to my stomach then to the top of my head!”

“Wait until Miharu cuts hiree to force this swine to stay in the reree to form a truce”

“I promise Akihisa will be sent to the remedial classroom immediately when he is KO-ed Before school ends, he’ll have to replenish all of his points in that classroo that, he’ll be Ironman’s food”

Ho did it become such an evil trade! My whole body was hurt, and I still had to go through Ironman’s hellish tuition until the end of school?

“Hmmph! What does that hateful expression of yoursto onee-sama! You swine should take this chance and reflect on your wrongdoings!”

Stab stab stab stab stab—While shi+, she stabbed my summoned beast a few times

“I, I I I do reflect onMinami, I’m really sorry! It hurts hurts hurts hurts hurts hurts hurts!”

The pain that Minami felt when I hurt her is now repaid to me, on my body

Stop fussing, if it’s someone who can’t take this much pain, he would’ve already died from fear

“……Hmmph, if what you said yesterday were lies, Miharu wouldn’t have forgiven you this easily”

This time she raised her foot and stomped at the wounds her sword made

damn! This is a heartless devil!

“This time, Miharu will stop here and let you live!”

She didn’t even want to let me live! It hurts a lot! It just hurts a lot! It hurts until I can’t think of anything!

After that, once shi+ot a chance to rest for a few h hell for real

“Good, since the negotiation is successful, we should return to our class Guys! Let’s return!”

“ “ “Oh—“ “ “

All of the me, as covered with cuts and bruises until I couldn’t stand up, here alone

“Too, too pathetic……”

I endured the excruciating pain and ed to sit on the floor, and suddenly I felt a hand clasped on my shoulder, this alone scared me so much that I nearly let out a scream

It’s not easy to stop , I turned my head slowly—

“Welcome to my world”

The person that appeared in front ofsinisterly with obviously evil intentions
