After the opening ceremony, I went home and dressed myself to head to the café where Eita san was waiting for me.
Even so, it seemed strange that Eita san was in uniform and I was in plain clothes, so I didn’t change into plain clothes, but just fixed my hair and makeup.
I was just going to meet Eita san, but I was so fired up that I didn’t want to let even a single strand of my hair bounce, let’s just say it’s a girl’s nature.
Today, the first day after the summer break, I dropped Eita san off at school and couldn’t help but worry about whether he was doing well in school.
I was so worried that I sent Eita san a message asking him, [How was your day?] He replied, [It was fine] and I was relieved to know that.
I’m also a veteran when it comes to being bullied, so I understand how Eita san feels.
That is why I was worried about Eita san, but I’m very glad that he was able to spend his first day without any problems.
People who are bullied tend to act as if they are fine on the outside so that people around them don’t know that they are being bullied and worry about them, but Eita san’s face had a lot of life in it this morning, so he must have been fine.
I left the house thinking that I would ask Eita san about what happened at school today when I saw him, and I walked towards the café.
Just as I was about a minute away from the café, a voice suddenly called out to me from behind.
“It’s you, Kohime chan. What are you doing?”
The person who called out to me was Hagiri Rio, the classmate who was taking the lead in inciting my bullying.
And Narumi Mika, who has been bullying me together with Hagiri san as well.
And Azumi Kasumi, the three of them were looking at me with a grin on their faces as usual.
In my private life, I was worried that before I met Eita san, I met the person I don;t want to meet the most.
I could tell why Hagiri san and the others had approached me by the way they addressed me.
Hagiri san is trying to bully me just like she is doing to me at school .
On a normal school day, she would not be directly violent with me, so I don’t care if she rips up my textbooks or throws water on me.
But now I don’t have time to deal with these people in order not to be late for my meeting with Eita san.
With that thought in mind, I tried to force myself to walk away from the place, unlike I usually do at school.
“……Sorry for the inconvenience. I have to go on.”
“What, do you have something to do?”
“……Shopping.”
If I were to be honest and say I was going to a cafe with a guy, I wouldn’t know what would happen next, so I lied and tried to leave as fast as I could to avoid being caught by Hagiri san and the others.
However, Narumi san and Azumi san grabbed me by the arm and I couldn’t move from the spot.
“Don’t be so cold, come play with us.”
“I don’t have time to play with you guys. Please let go of my hand.”
I had spent a lot of time getting cleaned up, and I knew I would be late for my appointment with Eita sab if I didn’t get going soon, so I shook off Narumi san’s and Azumi san’s hands and tried to walk away again.
But once again my arms were caught again by them.
“Even though Rio says so. Isn’t it terrible to forcefully leave?”
“That’s right ! I feel sorry for Rio !”
Narumi san and Azumi san always work together with Hagiri san to bully me, so it’s quite troublesome.
“I’m sorry. I have plans.”
“……Both of you, bring her over here.”
“Eh, wait, where are you taking me !? Please stop !”
I was pulled away by both Narumi san and Azumio san and taken away in the opposite direction from the cafe at my mercy.

I was already past my waiting time to meet Eita san, and I wanted to head to the café as soon as possible, but I was taken to a secluded alleyway.
“No, please ! There is someone waiting for me !”
“If you wanna talk like that, leave me some money.”
“……..Money?”
“We wanna take pictures and eat sweets together now, but I’m a little short on money.”
“Wha–“
I couldn’t believe my ears when I heard Hagiri san’s words.
I’ve had my shoes hidden and my textbooks torn to shreds, but this is the first time I’ve been directly robbed..
“Your family is rich, isn’t it? Then why don’t you just give a little bit of it?”
“My family may be rich, but I myself don’t have a lot of money. And I can never give money, no matter how small the amount.”
“……Haa. I wonder why you’re so hostile. I’m almost at my limit. I can’t stop being annoyed just by looking at your face.”
As a bullied person, I too am getting frustrated after being bullied for more than four years, but I guess the bullies are no longer satisfied with just what they have been bullying me with so far.
However, I will never be defeated by such people and never go away to school or have my heart broken.
If I had remained the same person I was in the past, my heart would have been broken too, but now I have Eita san.
“I will never give it to you. If you want money so badly, why don’t you stop fooling around and get a part-time job?”
“–Okay, you guys, hold onto her arms tightly.”
After saying that, Hagiri san forcibly snatched the bag from my shoulder.
“Then I’ll take this bag and–“
“No, please don’t !”
I couldn’t resist as they grabbed me by the arms and easily snatched my bag from me.
“But this bag and everything in it belongs to us now. Don’t be so cocky. If I lift up your skirt right here and now, even though it’s in a back alley, passersby on the main street will be able to see your pretty underwear.”
“S-stop it !”
Hagiri san, who didn’t like my attitude, put her hand on my skirt.
I desperately try to resist, but I can’t resist because the two of them are firmly holding my arms.
“Then, it’s time to open the door.”
“Hey ! What are you guys doing !”
Just as Hagiri san was about to lift up my skirt, I heard a reassuring voice and her hand stopped.
“…Ah? Who are you?”
“I’m Kohime’s boyfriend.”
The one who came to my rescue was none other than Eita san himself.
