Vol 11 Chapter 8 (2/2)

“Come on…let’s battle!”

Just when I exclaim this and enter the classroom

“Wait, Aki! Soht!”

Minami catches up to me and warns me Eh…? Weird? Where?

“Isn’t that upperclass inside the classroom even in this situation”

“Miss Himeji Mizuki and everyone else, welcome”

This voice ca Minami’s explantion

This voice is—

“Takashi+ro, sempai…!”

I look over at the source of the voice, and see Takashi+ro-se on the chair as he looks over at us

“hello, Yoshi+ Akihisa-kun This certainly is a leisurely afternoon”

He doesn’t look frantic, doesn’t look like he has any intention to escape, and shows no signs of being confused He doesn’t seeht in front of him at all

“So you set a trap back on us…?”

“Yes, unfortunately for you”

Takashi+ro-sempai says this with a pitiful voice damn it…!

“Yuuji! In this case, let’s go—”

“Oh yes, I’ll advise you to stop, Yoshi+ Akihisa-kun”

Takashi+ro-sempai warns e him

“Because if you activate the field here, you’ll lose”

He says this as he looks behind us

“Everyone, please do not remain behind there Come in”

Unknowingly, Kogure-se there

“…Looks like you let a teacher standby there beforehand already…”

Minarits her teeth as she ainst them now

In that case, the only path for us is complete elie, we’ll be dee away from battle

Even so,

“Now I can finally have a proper chat”

Takashi+ro-seives no indication to attack, but merely smiles at me He actually says that he can have a proper chat now?

“What ridiculous words are you saying? We’re in thewar here!”

“Yes, I know this all too well”

Takashi+ro-sempai nods to us in a pretentious manner

“But there is someone I want to have a chat with no matter what present here”

“—”

Upon hearing this, Hi beside me, shudders

I see So this is what Takashi+ro-see for us to talk”…he really got us here

“Himeji-san, please fall back We need to find a way to run away no matter what here”

“With this scenario I’ve created now, do you think I’ll allow that to happen?”

Takashi+ro-se, and looked around the classroom

The exits are blocked, the switches are being watched, and they won’t allow us to approach the s even though this is the 4th level It seems that Takashi+ro-sempai is sufficiently prepared

While I’ for an exit, Takashi+ro-sempai says,

“There’s no need to be so cautious There’re just a few questions I want to ask If you can answer reement with you and release everyone present”

He’s going to release us to safety even after doing this? How stupid that is

“It’s a to have the others accept your actions when you’re doing so on such personal reasons, sempai”

“That’s how it is What you said is absolutely correct I’m the student representative, so the others obeyso This action of e the trust everyone has towards me”

“In that case, why…”

“But to me, Miss Himeji Mizuki is someone I really have to have a proper talk with, one who I have to e risk for”

Takashi+ro-sempai puts his hand in front of his chest and firmly declares

Upon hearing him say such resolute words, I can’t help but be at a loss of words

“What do you think? Are you finally willing to listen to me now, Miss Himeji Mizuki?”

Takashi+ro-se if ant him to send us to the detention rooentle voice

“…”

There’s no roo this as she bites her lower lips

“…What do you want to say? Takashi+ro-sempai?”

She looks really unhappy as she looks up to Takashi+ro-sempai and says this

“I’ to run away here May you please listen to what I have to say?”

Takashi+ro-sempai nods his head in a satisfied manner, and walks towards Himeji-san

He then holds her hand,

“Miss Himeji Mizuki I, like, you”

Heat me

“Please be byyou happiness, and I’ll release you from that dirty and battered classroom”

Takashi+ro-sempai continues to say such cheesy lines

“I-I…already have someone I like”

“But can thatyou happiness? Can he provide the best facilities for you?”

“We were so close to getting A class! Even noe’re working hard—”

“This working hard is sientle you on the frontlines”

Takashi+ro-sempai says this as he continues to approach Himeji-san, and then uses a handkerchief to pat the chalk off her face

“His method is really too crude, and it’s a , and I’ll bring you to a better environment”

I already know Himeji-san has someone she likes, so her reaction didn’t surprise me at all

“…Is that all you have to say?”

“Yes I’ your time, but I do want to express the love in my heart to you no matter what”

What I’m surprised at however is Takashi+ro-sempai’s action Of course, I already knew, even without his so clearly, that Takashi+ro-se to bear such risks and express his love to her From his actions, I can tell how earnest he is when he says this

To be honest, I do feel that his direct method is very cool too

“Takashi+ro-sempai, I—”

“It’s okay, Miss Mizuki There are stillthe relationshi+p between me and you”

He interrupts Hientle smile on his face

“…Sorry Let’s go”

Hi as she heads to the entrance Minami, Hideyoshi+ and Muttsurini then follow her out

“…”

Yuuji stares at Takashi+ro-se out of the classroom as well Maybe he probably understood Takashi+ro-sempai’s actions from his own viewpoint because of Kirishi+ma-san

“You aren’t following them out as well, Yoshi+-kun? You don’t have to be so cautious; I’ll keep to ain and won’t hurt you here”

“Of course I will It’s rare of you to show some mercy here”

“Hahaha I do feel that your honest attitude is a virtue”

“However, since the strategy I thought of failed, I have to be in charge of covering them at the back”

In this situation, no uarantee that they won’t attack immediately after we leave the classroom

While I’ about this, Takashi+ro-sempai seems shocked in response and asks,

“Please hold on for a ht by Sakamoto-kun?”

“Eh? You really think so?”

“Yes That’s an audacious plan that nobody other than him can think of”

Is that so? If you really think of it this way, that’s a really grave mistake

“This plan is soht of”

“Is that so? I apologize for this”

Takashi+ro-seives a bow, and then mutters as he looks at my face,

“Speaking of which, Yoshi+-kun, it’s really shocking tolike Sakamoto-kun”

“No, that’s not the case”

“There’s no need for you to be so humble”

“This isn’t being humble”

“But to be able to actually think like Sakamoto-kun—”

“If it’s that guy thinking of a strategy for real, you won’t be able to stand here like this, sempai”

“…………Oh?”

Upon hearing my words, Takashi+ro-sempai narrows his eyes

“That truly is an exaggerated saying”

“Because what I said is the truth”

I said what I really thought

Right now, ies can’tI have now is going to be unable to beat him

But even if I can’t, that guy can definitely do it That guy can definitely do sos I don’t have—because he’s someone I admire

“How unfortunate If you’re the one actually iven up the desire to win now?”

Takashi+ro-se look in his eyes

“Please don’t worry I’ll give hi a TV set passed down since ancient japan”

I’ll kick that back that’s notforward I’ll use the most effective method I can think of now After that, there’s no room for me to interfere

“Nor, that violent method will cause the television to break down, you know?”

“Will it, I wonder? Froret this for the rest of your life, sempai?”

Upon hearing my declaration, Takashi+ro-sempai answers me with a relaxed smile

“Is that so? I’ forward to it then”

In this situation, Takashi+ro-sempai’s smile will not waver But I said what I wanted, and it’s less for me to remain here

“Please excuse me now”

“Yes, farewell, Yoshi+ Akihisa-kun”

I turn around to leave the classroom

I enter the corridor, arrive at the stairs, and find Hideyoshi+ watching out for any ene downstairs

“So it’s Akihisa? You’re slow here What did that Takashi+ro say to you?”

Hideyoshi+ looks back at me and asks,

“Nn, a little He told me that my method’s still a lot less despicable compared to Yuuji”

“If that’s not enough, what else is…”

“I have a pure innocent heart after all That seems to be my limit”

“…What causes you to say that?”

“Seriously”

They see it off as if it’s a joke, but I’m very serious here…

“Huh? Speaking of which, where’s Yuuji?”

I can see Hi the situation downstairs, but I still don’t see Yuuji around here

“As for Yuuji, he should be right at the back…eh, what’s going on here? Isn’t he there?”

“Hm?”

Now that this isin front of

“Yuuji, you’re late Did you notice anything strange?”

“…”

Even with Hideyoshi+ asking him, Yuuji continues to head downstairs wordlessly What is it? He looks a little…

“What’s with you, Yuuji?”

I’m a little concerned, and lower my head to look at his expression And then…

“Ku…kuku…”

“Yu-Yuuji…?”

“HAHAHA…! HAHAHAHA!!!”

Yuuji again puts his hand on his face and starts laughing, just like the ti on!?

“I’m unhappy…really unhappy now To think that I can still re beaten up by someone”

Yuuji suddenly says such vague words I-is he alright…?

“Good grief I’m seriously, really really unhappy deep inside now I never thought I’ viewed as the same level as you here”

Yuuji ignores my worry as he says out the frustrations fro away for some reason

“That’s absolutely true I’m the only one who can handle the entire situation in this predicauys can’t do it, I can definitely do so”

Yuuji stops laughing and murmurs,

“What’s with thises? This is the situation where I should be the one stepping up rather than anyone else, right!?”

He says that, and suddenly grabs his face Wha-what!? What’s going on!?

“Sakamoto What exactly, are you…?”

“Ah, it’s nothing…sorry Looks like I’ off just now”

Yuuji answers Mina down

His eyes that are looking up—again show the strength he had before

What’s going on? I really don’t knohat happened to this guy

“Let’s go everyone! The commotion just now hasn’t cal!”

That’s an arrogant voice that ca on…but well, it certainly does sound like his usual flair now, right?

“Yuuji, even if you say so, hoe actually escape from here?”

“Yeah The 3-B upperclassht?”

“…We’ll meet up on the way”

“First, we’ll uys downstairs We’ll discuss the strategy there!”

Yuuji hurries down the stairs and agilely heads to the temporary base ere just in It looks like he has his own thoughts I’ll believe in him and follow him then

Our F class classmates, who evacuated the seniors and understood the truth after entering 2-B classroo for us there

“Ah! How’s the situation, Yoshi+!? How exactly did it fail!?”

“It’s s strategy you thought of anyway! We already knew it’ll fail!”

“Anye need to regroup somewhere— ”

“““—Sakamoto!!”””

Everyone’s stare naturally gather upon Yuuji

…Speaking of which, is it really a given that y would fail?

“Oi Sakamoto! What do we do!?”

“We’re going to be completely annihilated at this rate!”

“Alright! Leave it to me! We’ll abandon this classroo!”

“Escape, you say!? Are you an idiot!?”

“There’re still 3-B guys on the way, you dimwit!”

“If they’ve already finished ht be other 3rd year classes around, you bastard!”

“I know these already! Please believe in eously!”

In the face of the questions and scolding from everyone, Yuuji makes a formal response

Upon seeing Yuuji ansith such a confident look,

“““Understood!”””

They charge out of the classroom and run down the stairs

“Mizuki, let’s hang on!”

“Yes!”

“No, we’ll remain a little further behind from the rest Don’t move too far away from me”

Yuuji stops Hi to head out, and we continue to htly behind everyone else in our class that’s attacking

And after walking forward for a little while,

“You guys sure have guts to trick us here…!”

“You better be prepared here, you second year bastards!”

“Don’t you dare think you can walk out of here alive…!”

It’s just like e expected The 3-B members meet up with our F class comrades as we return to the first level

“Sakamoto, what do we do now!?”

“It’s about tiy!”

I can hear the expectant voices from everyone in our class

“OH! LISTEN UP, YOU GUYS!”

Yuuji faces them,

“—ALL OF YOU ARE TO FIGHT TILL YOUR DEATHS HERE”

And simply says this to them

“““………Huh!?”””

“Sorry! There wasn’t any plan right fro! Please help act as bait for the few of us to escape; I’ll let you guys decide on how to protect yourself! Looking forward to see you fight till the bitter end!”

“““YOU! YOU BETTER REMEMBER THIS, YOU BASTARRRRDDD!!!”“

“SHUT UP! I’LL SHOW NO MERCY TO THOSE WHO CALL ME AN IDIOT, DIMWIT, bastard!”

Th-that’s the worst…! What I did is extremely underhanded, but this operation itself is just as despicable as how Nemoto-kun abandoned us It’s really despicable Because of this, we’re exchanging insults and countering over the issue of saving and betraying our comrades

In other words, things are just as usual

“Right, we can finally handle this thanks to everyone’s sacrifice! Everyone else is to head to the courtyard!”

“Yuuji, charging out is no probleh the 3rd years on the courtyard!”

“Look for a health education territory, and break through there using Muttsurini’s strength! If he’s weakening, Himeji and I will step up!”

“You sure that’s enough?”

“If things get worse, I’ll betray some other people!”

Yuuji says this as he points at our classh he can’t use it too , but we h with the power of the bracelet

“Then afterthe main team?”

“I need to first know the battle strength of the second years For that to happen, Nemoto’s existence is a hindrance”

“Fm fm In details, please?”

“The dead can’t talk”

“Wahhh…”

How is this guy able to say such a horrifying line?

“Well well, look atprocess has beco on my studies”

“…”

I feel there are so ue back here, but it’s best for me to remain silent

“There’s no need to worry about trivial things like vocal rights or working together If nobody’s going to accept me, I’ll make them obey me, whether it’s by threat or by assassination This is my—our F class modus operandi”

Yuuji declares this as he continues to run, with no signs of any doubts in his eyes anymore
