Vol 12 Chapter 7 (2/2)
The familiar, unexpected voice can be heard from behind me
After saying those sudden words, I felt a hard hit on my back before I could even turn around, and I fall onto the floor weakly
“!? What!? What!?”
This sudden happening caused me to feel confused and panicky
That fa in front of this shocked me
“There's no time left, Akihisa We don't have the time to let you laze around Go take the replenishment tests for humanities”
The guy who gave hts is my nemesis and bad friend—Sakamoto Yuuji
In place of me on the floor, Minami walks to Yuuji and says,
“W-wait a moment, Sakamoto How can we allow hi he has to really think about—”
“Like I care If he has to think about it, think while taking the test”
Yuuji randomly answers
“But Aki doesn't have that intellect”
Minami looks at me worriedly
It's true that I' my brain, and I can be said to be a buffoon at this I' i me take the replenishment tests at the same time will be beyond s at once
“Listen up, Akihisa”
But Yuuji stares at ht in the eyes as he says,
“The huht sides You dare to say that you can't do it even then?”
“It ht be possible in theory”
“No, Aki, it's because it's divided in two halves that they have different functions, you know”
Even if it's possible in theory, I can't possibly do such a highly difficult skill
As I continue to be frustrated, Yuuji continues,
“How you intend to deal with Hi and shi+mada's confession is up to you”
Yuuji's right He's not the person directly involved in all these, and it's justfrustrated due to my stubbornness
“But if we lose this su e'll be forced to take what others don't want You understand what I mean?”
I try to rack s, and was at the point of blowing up, trying my best to understand what he meant
If we lose, the second years won't be able to get the higher class facilities, and Hiet the facilities she deserves From what motives are, and what Himeji-san's parents think—
“Goodness, if you can't understand, I'll make it simple for you”
Yuuji watches rin on his wild looking face
“Are we really that kind enough to let those 3rd years get everything?”
After he gave ainst the 3rd years in this su war
Yuuji lost out in strategic planning
I was completely beaten by Takashi+ro-sempai Himeji-san was sent to the detention room to protect me
Muttsurini was toyed by Kogure-sempai, Hideyoshi+ and Minami were completely thrashed by the Toko-Natsu pair
“I see This is really easy to understand”
No matter how little I think about it, I felt that I had to take revenge for this no matter what
We're not sorets behind!
“Since you understand, go back, get your answer, and get a high score to be able to beat that bastard Takashi+ro”
Yuuji makes it sound so easy, but neither of these are easy to do This guy really can make such reckless requests
“Don't just say things because they don't concern you, Yuuji”
“It's si and losing”
I do agree with this wholeheartedly This fact is so si back
That's why my answer's simple too
“Understood I'll get the highest score up till now”
I have to respond to Yuuji's reckless requests if we're going to end everything
“Anyway, are you really alright? I don't want to find out that the second years lost once I return from the replenishment tests”
“Are you kiddingto lose to those guys no matter what”
“I do agree with that”
Right no can we let this rest without winning? We must do all we can for the sake of victory
As I attend the replenishhts
“Ahwait, Aki”
Minaed at my sleeve
“Hm? What is it?”
“Er”
Minami looks really emotional as she says this,
“I just said that Mizuki and I won't confess because of pity, and we didn't do it So Aki, don't do it because of kindness or pity—”
“I understand I'll think through it properly and get the answer”
“Right”
After saying this to Mina
I have to serious think about my own matters, Minami's matters, and Himeji-san's matters
So that I won't leave any regrets behind
I watch Aki run away, and Sakamoto comes over to talk to me
“You alright with that, shi+mada?”
“With what?”
“Wellhow do I say it? If you never said anything, Himeji will leave, and Akihisa will be left depressed From your standpoint—”
I i for Sakamoto to finish his words
What's good or not good about it—
“I didn't have a choice either”
It really can't be helped
He's stupid, foolish, and doesn't understand other people's feelings
But he's enthusiastic, kind and straightforward
He's considerate to others, willing to work hard for other people's sake
“I—like that Aki”
The Aki who suspected Mizuki's confession isn't the Aki I like; I couldn't letlike that
I can't let myself not like the person I like
“shi+mada”
“What?”
“You're a good girl That's a waste for Akihisa's level”
“Thanks I'll just brag about those words to Shouko then”
“Hey! That's a foul!”
Saka such a little joke causing him to be so aard
“Are you done with your words?”
“(Stealthily appears)”
Kinoshi+ta and Tsuchiya, who had been watching fro to say, and deliberately hid therateful for that
“It's still a little e about how those words were overheard”
Once I saw Kinoshi+ta and Tsuchiya, they say to me,
“What? Just relax, shi+mada”
“We al”
“Ah, really?”
“Yeahbut even if we didn't, we could at least guess what you tere talking about”
“A fact everyone knows”
“Ahahaha What are you talking about? How can you knoithout hearing?”
““Your confession to Akihisa—””
“I'll wring your necks if you say anything more”
How did it get exposed anyway! You guys were clearly eavesdropping on us, right?
“We know you for a while longer than Hiuess whatever you would say to Akihisa in that situation”
“(nods)Hideyoshi+ can understand omen thinks”
“Muttsurini, that's not what I'et at”
But it's as what they said After I cauys are the ones I spent the uess what I would do in that case
“But even if you guess so, it's a forht?”
“Don't say that We'll do our best to help you two, so just a little teasing isn't much here”
“We'll do our best for our friends”
SeriouslyI have to hand it to these guys
So they not only treated Aki as a friend, but me too They'll also do their best for an outcome everyone can accept
Great, now I can confess—to that coolest Aki and tell him what I feel
“Thanks”
I shyly whisper, and Kinoshi+ta and Tsuchiya s me that, 'that's just like you, shi+mada' vibe
“Speaking of which, what do you intend to do, Yuuji?”
“I'll think of all sorts of things, but we'll need to rely on Akihisa's power for the final bit Our job is to hang on until he comes back from the replenishment tests
“Hmbut the 3rd years should have soe caused by our sudden attack They probably want to settle things now Can we really hang on for that long?”
That sudden attack just now caused quite soe to the enemy, but orn out more than the more than 3 times In this situation, we can't possibly last until the replenishment tests are over
But,
“We won't lose”
Sakamoto casually denies such doubts
“We'll win if you guys will help”
Win, not lose, not draw Sakamoto says that we can beat the 3rd years
That's such a nostalgic feeling
What he says is completely baseless, but for some reason, I feel that what he says is correct It's just like e first entered our Second Year
“Reuys, we're—”
“““The strongest!!”””
“That's right”
After hearing our replies, Sakarin
