6 Episode 6: Tsuki Akari (1/2)

What the girl earlier said the time of our meeting would be at lunchtime so I didn't rush to go in there. When I arrived back in the classroom, I saw a few of the thugs at the end of the classroom. One of them is Godou who seemed to be eating his sandwich. From the looks of it, he is one of my classmates. He has sharp eyes since I was still in front of the doorway when he saw me go in.

”Hey, Kazuma. So we are classmates huh?” Godou grinned and offered a bottle of soda to me.

”Thanks, man,” I said and grab the soda.

One of the thugs scrutinizingly looked at me and seems to be calculating something.

”This guy is not bad. His body is well toned and from the looks of it, he practiced a few martial arts based on his body stance, breathing, and his skin.”

I frowned when I heard that. I didn't tell anyone else that I practiced martial arts. He can tell just by looking at my body for a few minutes?

”Not at all,” I said but in reality, I am a bit nervous. With the demon in the area, I am not sure whether these people are the suspect or not. Still, it is kind of rude if I did not respond to them.

I found out that Godou and the delinquents in the class are not really delinquents. They are just treated as one due to their scary-looking faces which easily intimidates the other people. They are actually good people and they have good grades in different subjects though they are also flunking to some. When lunch came, they bid farewell because they have to help out on a construction site since it was their part-time job. It is fine to me as well since I have an appointment with someone which might be the key to my questions.

...

When I arrived at the rooftop, I saw no one on the rooftop. I looked around the place but not a single soul is around. Does that mean, I arrived first? I did not see her back in the classroom earlier so my guess is that, she came into the rooftop first but I guess I am wrong.

”Hello? Anyone out there?”

It was silent at first but then, someone jumped out of nowhere behind me.

”So you have come.”

Before I can even react, my instincts to dodge suddenly kicks in. I trust this instinct of mine because this helped me a lot in the past. Without thinking twice, I quickly rolled away from where I stand to the side.

BANG!
