Episode 22 – Behind The School building

Behind the school building during lunch break.

I was surrounded by Suzuki and his friends in this usually deserted place.

“Hey, you gloomy bastard ! You know what I’m talking about, don’t you?”

It all started during fourth period PE.

I was playing ping-pong with Hazuki san as usual, and on the way home, I got involved with Suzuki and his friends.

And they brought me here.

Why is he so angry?

I have no idea.

“Um……what is it?”

“Aa? You’ve got to be kidding me !”

“Even though you’re just a gloomy bastard…you’re getting too carried away,

you know?”

The three of them are coming at me, but I’m not too scared of them.

The previous thugs were still more intimidating.

“No, I really don’t know–“

Gan

At that moment, Suzuki grabbed me by the chest.

“Don’t play dumb with me ! You bastard, you’re aiming for my Rinka ! You’re disgusting.”

“…..Huh?”

Eh, I’m aiming for Hazuki san?

I mean, [my Rinka] it’s not like Hazuki san belongs to anyone……

“So you have to change pairs with me in PE. The only one who is suitable for Rinka is me, Suzuki Shun.”

“No, you can’t change the pairing during the first semester……”

“It can’t be helped, Shun. I’ll sacrifice myself.”

“Sorry, Kazuo……”

“It’s okay ! It’s for the sake of my best friend.”

The conversation progresses on its own, but…

It’s kind of scary.

“With that. Change your pair from Rinka to me, you introvert.”

“……”

We can’t change the pairing once it’s decided.

I’ve been saying that, but it doesn’t sound like I’m going to be able to get through to them.

“You got a problem with me? Aa?”

“No, I’m telling you, it’s impossible…….”

“Do you understand the situation you’re in right now?”

“If you make us too angry, we’ll hurt you, you know? Like a little slip of the hand……like this ! !”

Snap

I suddenly catched a flying straight with one hand.

“Tsk, you’re just a gloomy guy……. You’ve got some guts to catch my punch.”

Eh, this is a punch?

I was more surprised by that than by the fact that he suddenly punched me……

“Sigh…….. Anyway, I’m not going to change pairs. I’m going back to the classroom now.”

I shook off the hand on my chest and turned my back to the three of them and started walking away.

“Wait a minute, you bastard !”

“I’ll kill you ! Die, you gloomy ! !”

★

“Ryoga kun, you’re late! What happened?”

“No, I just had some business to attend to.”

After I threw away Suzuki and the others who were attacking me from behind, I arrived at the rooftop as usual.

but still, Suzuki and his friends fainted after just two or three throws….

Well, I was holding back enough and I don’t think they were hurt.

“Master, you got tangled up with Suzuki and his friends, but were you okay !?”

Yamada kun, with a worried look on his face, asked me that.

I told him to stop using honorifics and that strange way of calling me…….

Yamada kun made no attempt to fix it.

“Yeah, nothing happened to me. I’m fine.”

“Then let’s have lunch ! Today…..I made fried rice~”

“Wow~”

The smell leaking from the lunch box makes me drool.

Lately, eating Hazuki san’s homemade lunch has become a normal part of my life.

To be honest, the quality of Hazuki san’s lunch box is so high that it could be sold at a bento shop.

I felt bad for her for letting me eat it for free and when I tried to pay for it, she said [It’s okay, I’m training to be a bride !] and would not accept it.

I bet Hazuki san’s husband is happy every day….. I envy him.

“Then, put your hands together.”

[ [ [Itadakimasu !] ] ]

Eating alone is good, but eating while chatting with friends like this isn’t bad either.

That’s what I thought on that late afternoon.

Now that I think about it, I may have underestimated Suzuki and his friends.

I didn’t think so at the time. I never thought they would go that far—
