“I’m sorry… my hand slipped.”
The situation in the classroom was incomprehensible, and everyone was frozen in place. I just stared at Shibamura.
“Hey! I heard a strange noise!”
It was the teacher who broke the silence in the classroom. It seemed that the sound of me throwing my desk and breaking the window could be heard by the teacher in the hallway.
“What happened? Explain the situation.”
The teacher looked at the broken window and understood that it had been broken, but seemed unable to grasp the situation.
The others in the classroom were looking at me, but hesitating to speak. Usually, they would immediately say that I had broken it without hesitation, but now, just staring. They must have been confused because I was so different from the usual Mizuno Shota they were used to seeing.
“Oh no! Oh no, oh no, oh no. It flew farther than I thought.”
Mizuno Shota returned to his usual self and made up a plausible excuse for the teacher. Seeing me like that, everyone in the classroom sighed in relief. Sorry for startling you and making you deal with my strange behavior.
“What? Mizuno again! What do you mean it flew farther than expected? Hurry up and go get the desk and clean up the glass!”
“Got it!”
I replied cheerfully, trying to show that I was the usual Shota. Hmm, which should I do first? Should I go get the desk first?
“Ugh, I can’t believe it.”
“Typical Mizuno. You’re always doing something interesting.”
“I’ll have to get you to treat me again.”
The idiots in my class gathered around me and started preparing to clean the glass.
“Leave the glass cleaning to us and go get a desk.”
Saotome pushed me on the back. The force was a little too strong, so I stumbled.
“Hey, you guys. Ugh… I guess it’s true that friends are the most important thing.”
What I did was pretend to cry, but to be honest, I was actually a little teary-eyed, which is embarrassing, so I’ll take that secret to the grave.
“Forget that, just go already.”
“Thanks, guys.”
“Alright.”
You guys are usually super creepy, but today you’re cooler than any idol. I guess you wouldn’t be happy if I told you that, though.
“Mizuno.”
“Yes.”
The teacher called me over.
“Come to the student guidance room after cleanup is done.”
“Got it.”
This means I’m definitely going to get a lecture, and since I threw the desk and broke the glass, I might even get suspended.
You can’t get suspended unless you do something really bad, so I did something that would have been impossible in my previous life. But I feel good. Really good. My legs feel light. Is there anyone who can keep up with me right now? If I were me right now, I’d skip, but if the teacher saw that, he’d get even angrier.
“Who did this?”
The janitor came to the spot where the desk had fallen and looked at it curiously.
“Sorry! I did it!”
“Huh? Mizuno-kun? Did you do this?”
I had become acquainted with the janitor when I helped Hisada-chan, who was being harassed by a group of three girls behind the school building for the first time. We recognized each other’s faces enough to chat when we occasionally met.
“Yes, I did it.”
I put my hands behind and laughed nervously.
“Well~, Mizuno-kun always surprises me.”
“Hahaha.”
“It’s okay, I’ll take care of it. You can keep the desk.”
“Really?”
“Sure, sure, you’ve always been so helpful to me, Mizuno-kun.”
Hey, hey, hey, don’t make me cry again. If I weren’t Shota Mizuno right now, I would definitely cry.
“Thank you!”
I thanked her and carried the desk to the classroom.
Mizuno is surrounded by such nice people, I’m a little jealous.
“Wait!”
“Huh?”
On the way to the classroom, Niiro called out to me.
“What’s going on?”
Of course, Niiro was the most confused. After all, I had been adamant that I didn’t want to get involved. But I had already made up my mind not to make my favorite character cry anymore.
To be honest, I don’t know anything about the original story. But this is the result of choosing a path that I won’t regret in the future.
“At that time, you didn’t listen to what I had to say at all…”
It was scary, wasn’t it, when the person you trusted and confided in didn’t believe you.
It’s annoying when the person who didn’t believe you suddenly becomes motivated.
“I’m sorry. You trusted me, but I didn’t listen to you. …But!”
I took my hand off the desk and took Niiro’s hand.
“…Eh, no, wait a minute!”
You may not want to be held by a creepy guy who prioritizes the original work over the words of his favorite character. But listen to me, because I’m going to tell you my true feelings.
“I’ll do my best! One side isn’t like me. I’m greedy, selfish, and clumsy, but I’ll get both sides.”
Niiro probably doesn’t understand what I’m saying, but I want to convey my feelings properly.
“I understand…”
“Wait, there’s something else I want to say.”
She tried to let go of my hand, but I still had something to tell her.
“It must have been hard for you, but it’s okay now. Leave the rest to me. I’ll definitely finish it.”
If I betrayed Niiro with my words and actions, I have to show my sincerity with my words and actions.
“I’ll make sure you’re happy.”
Niiro and Hisada-chan. Well, I’m sure you understand without me having to say it.
“…Uh, yeah.”
“Oh, sorry. I got too close.”
You idiot! Don’t make your favorite look like that! Also, you’re too close. Don’t misunderstand the distance between a fan and their favorite.
But I wanted to convey it with words, otherwise it would be dishonest.
“For now, please leave it to me! I won’t let Sarasa-chan get into any more dangerous situations.”
“…Yeah.”
I wonder if I’ve regained a little trust. But it’s not enough. This time, I’ll show it not just with words, but with my actions.
After moving the desk back to the classroom, I was safely taken to the student guidance room.
Damn it, I thought I’d forgotten about it.
“Oh, you’re back.”
“So, how did it go?”
“Half a day of detention.”
“Ha ha ha! I’ve never heard of half a day of detention!”
“That’s just an early dismissal!”
After being taken to the student guidance room, I got a good scolding from the teacher. Originally, it was supposed to be a week, but because it was me, they let me off with a half-day suspension. However, they still wanted to maintain the formality of a suspension, so it became a half-day suspension.
Shota Mizuno’s power is amazing. He can reduce the length of a suspension? That’s scary.
Since it ended up being a half-day suspension, I started preparing to go home.
“Ugh, I’m so sad I can’t see everyone anymore.”
“You’ll just come to school normally tomorrow, right? Hurry up and go home.”
“You’re so cold.”
Well, shall we go home then?
But before that…
“Well, I guess my good deeds paid off. It really is important to do good deeds every day.”
I said this in an unnaturally loud voice so that they could hear me.
Why did I say it in such a loud voice? You’ll find out later.
I’m bored.
This is the first time I’ve ever thought being at home was boring. At school, those idiots have no choice but to pay attention to me. But I still like being at home better.
What should I do? I’m bored, so maybe I’ll play a game.
Ding dong
The intercom rang.
Oh, they’re already here. That’s earlier than I expected.
“Yeaah.”
I tidied myself up a little and headed for the front door.
You might think, “Why didn’t you tidy yourself up from the start?”, but I can’t do it unless it’s at the last minute.
“Hey, you came.”
“Huh? You called me, didn’t you?”
I never thought that Hisada-chan would come to my house… I’m overwhelmed with emotion.
“This place isn’t suitable, so come on in.”
I urge Hisada-chan to come inside.
“I’m not coming in.”
Typical Hisada-chan. She really doesn’t go into other people’s houses, does she?
“Here’s the printout.”
“Thanks.”
Hisada-chan bluntly hands me the school printout. That bluntness is what makes her so cute.
By the way, I was the one who asked Hisada-chan to bring the printout. I asked the teacher to make sure Hisada-chan brought it.
“So, what’s the reason?”
“Huh? What?”
“Don’t play dumb. The reason you did that!”
“That” probably, no, definitely refers to throwing the desk.
“Oh, you saw that. That’s nice. It flew pretty far, didn’t it?”
“Stop joking around and answer seriously.”
“…You were being bullied by Shibamura and the others, weren’t you?”
“…Ugh. So you tried to help me without me asking? …What? Who asked you to? When did I ever ask you to help me?”
Hisada chan grabbed my collar.
“When did I lose to them? Did you think I looked like I was bullying the weak? If so, stop acting like a hero!”
“I’m sorry.”
“You’re a nuisance. Don’t bother me anymore.”
“I’m sorry.”
Sigh. My favorite person got really angry at me, but I misjudged the distance between us.
“But Haruka-chan, you’re wrong about one thing.”
“Huh?”
I have something I need to tell Hisada-chan.
“I’m not trying to act like a hero.”
I understand that. I’m not the protagonist; the protagonist is Saotome, and I’m just her best friend.
“I need your help.”
“…Huh?”
Hisada-chan is surprised by the unexpected answer.
“It’s pathetic, but I want you to help me. I can’t do anything on my own, and it’s obvious that they’ll get revenge on me.”
It would be counterproductive to ask Hisada-chan, who still doesn’t trust me, for help. So I decided to ask Hisada-chan for help.
“Wouldn’t you help a fool like me? I can’t do anything on my own, but with Haruka-chan, we can take them down.”
Here, I reach out to Hisada-chan.
“So please! Work with me! Let’s see their pathetic faces together after we defeat them!”
Please! Take my hand! If you don’t take my hand here, I’m done for.
“…Hmph, what’s that?”
Her expression softened so much that it was hard to believe she had been angry just a moment ago.
“…Just this once.”
Saying that, Hisada-chan took my hand.
“Thank you!”
I’m happy. I don’t know if it’s because she agreed to my proposal or because I touched Hisada-chan’s hand.
“If we’re going to do this, failure is not an option.”
“Okay.”
“So, do you have a plan?”
“Yes.”
“What kind of plan?”
“The plan is called the ‘Plot Twist Resolution Plan.’”
“That’s lame.”
