116 Mine alone... (1/2)
After another vicious round of beating ended, Yuuji decided to walk over to Haruto and check him out.
”Yo, Haruto. How was your beating, eh?”
”... You could have just stepped in and helped me, you know?”
”Ah~~~ I can't. If I did, I would probably have been beating up along with you, right?”
”...”
Patting him on the back, Yuuji gave him a bottle of water and untied him from the bungee cord.
”Oh, don't make a face like that, eh~~~ Just relax!”
”...I would have done that already if I hadn't been beaten up by my own sister and a girl who had beaten me up before.”
”Ah! So that was the girl you talked about, eh?”
”Yes... I no longer hold a grudge against her, though.”
”Huh?”
Surprisingly, after getting beaten up twice by that girl, he no longer bore a grudge against her. Just what sorcery did that girl use to quell his anger?
”Well, at first, I was extremely angry, but hen I finally saw her face when she was beating me up, I finally found out that she is also a victim like me.”
”Eh? How come?”
Not bothering to explain, Haruto pointed his thumb towards where the three girls were standing. Although the three seemed to be chatting happily with each other, upon closer inspection, it can be seen that the twin-tailed girl is actually straining herself to keep up her smiling face.
”Ah... I still don't get it...”
