Vol 12 Chapter 5 (2/2)

Once he said that, I froze

The pain I suffered in the battle against Takashi+ro-sempai flashed in s, and the pain of being unable to breathe; once I recall that, and once I recalled the conversation from before

I didn't want to think about it

“Don't worry, I won't call Tsunemura over even if it's a 2 on 1 There's no need for that in the first place”

Natsukawa-se his summoned beast at all

On the other hand, I didn't use the platinu my summoned beast stand up normally

“What? Just use it? Isn't that your specialty?”

“If the opponent's saying that, I will have to think there's soht?”

“Is that so?well, your call as to whether you want to or not”

Natsukawa-seht hand, and sends a left punch as if he wants

I focus my attention on the opponent's sword and take it on

I can clearly see the sword that's swinging down from above It's a one-handed sword, and if I block his attack with allboth hands, I'll be able to break his posture and counterattack It's a good chance

—right, that's what my mind knew

“!!”

My body froze up due to the tightly clenched left fist

And so, , and I took e because my posture's messed up

“How boring What kind of a battle is this?”

3-A, Natsukawa Junpei, Huraphy), 191 points

Vs

2-F, Yoshi+ Akihisa, Humanities (japanese History), 74 points

The updated points are shown

He glances at the points, and then atthe vitals

“Argh!”

I feel a sharp pain in my calves and hands

3-A, Natsukawa Junpei, Huraphy), 191 points

Vs

2-F, Yoshi+ Akihisa, Humanities (japanese History), 23 points

My points are depleted as I feel the pain

“I'll torture you little by little until you have only a little bit left, and then I'll finish you off”

Natsukawa-seainst me That's the attitude of so it away

I can't go to the detention room before I actually talk to Minami, but I really don't knohat to do after that

And at this moment, I hear the voices of the cavalry behind me

“““Summon!”””

I hear the fauy from class F It seems the reinforcements Yuuji talked about have arrived

“”

Natsukawa-se reinforcements, and then at my summoned beast

And then,

“Tsunemura, they have reinforcements here, just leave this place to the rest We'll retreat for the ti We can't possibly be at the frontlines forever”

The Toko-Natsu pair called in the other 3rd years, and proceed to leave

A little later on, my allies too enter the field

“How's the situation here, Yoshi+?”

fukuainst the enemy as he answers me

And so, I simply answer him,

“A very bad situation”

Besides, what happened from before was caused by me”

Upon hearing that, “Is that so?” he said this and showed a bitter grimace

“I saw the other sides being forced back hard just now on my way here There's quite soth in this”

We used a lot of the second years as bait just to charge into the principal's office The failed operation because I was not being myself

“Also, that Tsuchiya and Kudou pair barelybeaten like that I never thought they'll lose in the field of health education”

Leaving aside the rest, seeing how those two actually lost in a battle of health education, I can tell how bad the impact of my actions was

“You'll be sent to the detention roo just now”

As he said so, fukumura-kun always tries to keep his suo around hiding

“The detention rooo to”

“Of course How can we let ourselves get sent there?”

My reasons for not wanting to go there is a little different from fukumura-kun, but we have the same ideas

In that sense, we can probably work together

“Let's try and live on here then, fukumura-kun”

“H now? We've always put ourselves as priority, right?”

Those are cold words no ht now, I'rateful of that instead

“Hm, that's the spirit, fukumura-kun”

“I don't want to be in so”

'Yeah, we rather lose this suet locked up inside there”

“Oh, those are rather selfish words there”

“Haha, we're from F class after all”

Though I'ht If we're going to the detention rooize to Minami

I don't want to cause trouble for anyone, so I don't intend to ignore the instructions for the operations Even if we lose, I do want to end this war as soon as possible—this is what I really thought

Once I'ain, fukumura-kun suddenly said this

“Then, Yoshi+, you can just retreat for the ti to protect yourself”

“Eh?”

Once I heard those unbelievable words, I was stunned for that instant

I can't believe that my class others to ensure their own survival, would say such things

But in my surprise,

“No, well”

fukumura-kun scratched his head,

“—if I'm with you now, I'll really feel irritated”

“Coain” fuku field I end up rooted however because I don't knohat to do

Noro take soht? I lost a lot of points, and I have lots of allies supporting at where I was Currently, it's best that I replenish the points of the subjects I'm best at

But that option isn't ideal for me now

“I have to hurry up, ize to her”

If I start the replenishoes back to the battlefield I can't take the replenishment tests now

Right now, I can't go to the frontlines or go take the replenishment tests

But even so, I can't just stand by and waste everyone's time I don't want to take action because of personal reasons, and I don't want to cause trouble for others again

In the end, I choose to 'hide so, where there aren't many people around, and run away to buy time if the enemy comes'

…

…

Nothing much happened as time passed

I' around

Even though I kno serious the sitaution is, I can't return to the frontlines

I can't help in any way, and I' without a purpose

“I' idiot”

I

I have no purpose in the su war

I just obstructed Hiress

And I revealed Minas to someone else

“I must at least make him return Minami's diary”

If I can't get it back usingIt's useless to Takashi+ro-se hard Why didn't I think about that at all?

“But even if I do get it back, the fact reht?”

I haven't been doing anything, so ain

I' to feel frustrated ateverything and run away

I really want to ize to her I've been thinking about this, doing s

—And so, after looking around for a while

“Ah, Aki What are you doing here?”

I finally met the person I wanted to meet

“Minami”

“Hm? What is it?”

Minareeted me with her useful, cheerful smile

“There's soize to you for”

“Even if you suddenly say that you have to apologize for so to say because there's too ize for”

Minaers on her chin as she pondered,

“Is it about saying thatthe school ca when you came to my house—”

“That's not it, Minami”

I cut off Mina words

That's not it What I want to apologize for is so she did not want anyone else to know of, and I tras

“Sorry, Minami”

“So, what's that about?”

I feel ready to vomit out blood as I explain to Minami what I did,

“I—let Takashi+ro-sempai and Linne-kun read your important diary”

That's an unforgivable act to any girl in her youth

I heard that it contained the precious thoughts Minas Minaht about him all this time

She has a toentle, and definitely has a feminine side to her

It's because of that, I couldn't forgivewhat I did!

I lower er

And then, Minami looks on at me,

“What? That's it?”

She just looked disappointed, answering calmly,

“Th-That's!”

“H was read anyway It'sthe diary to school anyway”

Minami doesn't mind at all as she said this How's that possible!

“Ah, speaking of which, did you read it, Aki?”

“Me? I didn't”

“I see There's nothing to be worried about then”

“But that's not the problem—”

“Nope, it's just that small of a problem”

I leaked Minas to an unrelated 3rd party, and Minami just smiled at me

“I've already confessed anyway”

“”

I couldn't understand what she ize

“Wait, Aki, are you listening?”

Minami waves her hand in front of me while I space out

Wh-what a to Minaht?

And so, Mina me as I recover from the shock

“Well, leaving aside that—I'h, Aki”

Once I heard her askat that instant

“That's”

“You aren't depressed because ofto beat your face up good”

Minary look

Even so, I still intend to argue back against what Minami said

How can it just be like this? She wrote inside it every single day, and it's definitely not so unconcerned because she's worried, because she'svery kind

“Minami, I—”

“Besides ht?”

“!?”

I gasped

Once Minami sees me like this, she smiles happily, and says,

“Right now, you have that 'how did you know' look on your face Of course I know that Mizuki has been looking weird seriously, and she went to the principal's office with you just now, but never returned You looked so depressed too”

Minami easily deduced these Can all these be deduced by a bystander? I don't really know What I knoever is that Minami did say the truth

“”

I end up being unable to say anything

I' to hide it

Or rather, I want to say, what kind of person am I

“Tellso depressed What sort of frustrations do you have now?”

I hear Minaentle voice

If I say it out, I'll definitely feel relieved

Minami wants me to say this because she knows this

But I can't rely on Mina that's to be hated and scolded for

“”

I keep my head lowered as I remain silent

And Minahed and said,

“Then, how about this? If you're sorry about the diary, tellnow”

It's a conditionI can't refuse

This line causes e to resist
