“…… That hurt, didn’t it?”
Kurihara was standing there with a cool face that did not look like he had been hit.
That was also true. Amamiya, who had never hit anyone before, had a punching power weaker than a child’s. But even so, Amamiya would not back down.
But even so, Amamiya did not back down.
He struck Kurihara with an unfamiliar fighting pose.
“Don’t be a brat!”
However, there was an overwhelming difference between Amamiya, who had only recently started running, and Kurihara, who had been in the baseball club since junior high school.
Their athletic skills were too different.
Boom!Amamiya was hit in the face and shook his head.
He sees Kurihara’s fist swinging at him, and he tries to make a move to prevent it, but the fist strikes him directly in the cheek before he can make a move.
“….. not yet.”
Even though he had taken damage that could have caused him to fall, Amamiya held his ground.
The blood that had been flowing from his knee stopped, and his twisted ankle ached. It hurt so much.
The face where he was hit also ached, and he wondered how much easier it would be if he just collapsed like that.
Yet, for some reason, he felt as if his body was telling him to stand up to Kurihara.
Don’t lose, it cried out.
“Aaahhhh!”
He could not win in a fistfight, then, Amamiya rushed at Kurihara.
He put his hands around Kurihara’s waist to prevent him from escaping at the moment of collision and knocked him off balance.
Pushed backward, Kurihara was slammed against a cupboard in the infirmary.
“Geh, you bastard!”
Kurihara punches Amamiya twice in the face.
He does it seriously, without holding back.
Even so, Amamiya’s arms around Kurihara’s body did not loosen.
“What’s the point of that?! You can’t beat me anyway! Get the hell off of me!”
“I’ll never …… let you go. I’ll never …… let you go until you admit defeat.”
“Die, you bastard! Die, die, die!!”
He must have been hit ten times, and he could barely open his eyelids.
Even so, Amamiya is glaring at him like a predator, telling him that he must not escape, and Kurihara gradually becomes afraid of him.
G”ive up quickly. There’s no way you can go out with her, so why are you still holding on to me even if it hurts ……?!”
“You’re asking me to give up and spend the rest of my life in misery. I don’t like that. ……”
In a voice that sounds like it is about to break off, Amamiya replies.
Repeating his rough breathing many times, he looked up at Kurihara.
Although he looked like he was falling apart, his eyes were serious.
“I don’t ever want to be like those who don’t learn from their mistakes,…… and don’t try hard to be liked,…… and just give up and stand still,……. “
“Who ……”
“Kurihara-kun… is more popular and cool than me, and from the perspective of the people around me, he might be more suitable for Karina than me… but I’m more about Karina… about Karina… I like her”
He said it clearly.
He didn’t want to lose this one thing.
“To become a man worthy of her, no matter how painful or how much it hurts. I will never stop. I will Change, change …… someday …….”
Kurihara was taken aback, not expecting Amamiya to be so serious.
“I’ll be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with Karina,………….”
His vision became distorted, and his tongue began to roll.
Everywhere in his body ached.
“I ……”
Unable to finish, he collapses on the spot.
The last thing he saw was Kurihara’s puzzled expression, and Amamiya let go of his consciousness.
“Yo, Amamiya. Are you okay?”
When he woke up, he found himself in a bed in the infirmary.
Sitting beside the bed was a familiar blonde, Kumatani.
He looked worried, or rather, he had a mysterious expression on his face that made it hard to tell what he was thinking.
“Kumatani-kun, I’m ……”
“Hey, hey, don’t force yourself to get up. It has only been an hour since then.”
Kumatani showed the screen of his phone while restraining Amamiya who was about to get up.
The time was 12:20, and it was only noon.
“You got hit pretty hard~. Well, I’m glad you didn’t break any teeth and you only have a light bruise.”
“…..What about Kurihara-kun?”
Amamiya asked in a gloomy voice, unable to keep up with Kumatani’s excitement.
Even though it’s a light bruise, his face still hurts, and his nose was bleeding earlier.
“The teachers I called for help held him down and took him to the student advisor’s office.”
“Eh, Kumatani-kun called them?”
He smiles and shows the screen of his phone.
A video was playing of Amamiya being violated by Kurihara in the infirmary.
“Eh, you were filming it!?”
“I’ve known Kurihara for a long time. I had a hunch that he was going to do something, so I secretly followed him and found that he was involved in a violent incident.”
“If you’ve been filming from the beginning, help me out …….”
“I’m sorry for that. But even if I were to help you there, it would only be a stopgap measure, right? In that case, it would be better to capture the decisive moment on camera and use it as evidence to put an end to Kurihara’s harassment.”
“Mm, sure. ……”
Kumatani is still a reasonable man.
It is not that he does not trust the school.
But without solid evidence, Kurihara’s punishment could be lightened or excused.
“But the scene where I hit him also ……”
“If I edit it out, you can get away with it. I’ve already sent the video to the teachers.”
“I see. ……, thanks for everything.”
Kumatani saved him late, but Amamiya decided that the beating was worth it.
He might have to go to the hospital afterwards, though.
“But really, Kurihara is such an idiot. He’s a member of the baseball team, but to cause a violent incident. Baseball federation? It will be reported to someone like that, and the team will be forced to withdraw from the tournament due to collective responsibility, or at least he will be removed from the team. Also, I’m sure the school will take a disciplinary action.”
“I’m sorry to hear that, Kurihara kun …….”
“I’m sure he deserves it. His father is a strict baseball player, so he may be more afraid of what will happen at home than at school.”
Although they were friends, Kumatani was somewhat indifferent to the situation.
It may be that it was just a superficial relationship.
But Amamiya dared not to mention it.
“This is all I have to report. I’m afraid the teacher will scold me if I stay too long, so I’m going back to the classroom. I’m going to buy some juice.”
He is associated with canned juice.
Every time he comes to school, he always has something to drink.
“Okay, then.”
Amamiya thanked him as he stood up.
He is always helping him out.
“Oh, by the way…”
He stopped as if remembering and turned around with a smile.
“Even though you’re weak, you stood up to him. That was cool.”
With that, he waved his hand and walked out of the infirmary.
Amamiya felt frustrated because he could somehow understand the feelings of the girls who were in love with Kumatani
He is a good guy.
“Ah ……yeah…….”
Amamiya hears Kumatani, who has left the infirmary, make an awkward sound, and he opens the curtains surrounding the bed to see what is going on.
Outside the infirmary, he was whispering to someone in the hallway.
However, the conversation ended quickly, and Kumatani ran away and returned to the classroom.
Amamiya turns his head, not understanding what it means, but he has to rest, so he lies down on his bed.
However, he hears someone approaching his bed, and when he turns his gaze toward the sound of footsteps, his eyes meet those of the person.
“Ah, …….”
Amamiya understood why Kumatani had rushed away.
The person standing there was someone Amamiya knew well.
Takaaki-kun,……Gusu,……
Karina was crying.
She looked sadder than ever before, as if she was sincerely worried about him
When Amamiya saw this, his chest ached.
“Takaaki kun, Takaaki kun, Takaaki …… kun …….”
With tears spilling down her face, Karina clutched Amamiya’s hand tightly.
“I’m so glad……I’m so glad…….”
“Karina…….”
He loved the way Karina cried for him
She must be kind to rush all the way to the nurse’s office and be so worried about her injured friend.
He likes her.
[—–I love Karina!]
For some reason, Amamiya’s face turned red as he recalled the outrageous statement he had made during the fight with Kurihara.
He regrets now that he wanted to tell her anyway.
As usual, he was a pathetic Takaaki Amamiya.
“You see, Takaaki kun, ……”
Karina said in a small voice to break the silence and sat down on the bed, looking shyly into Amamiya’s face.
Her sense of distance was strange every time, but only this time it was different from usual.
“I ……”
Amamiya felt his heart beat faster with nervousness as Karina brought her face close to his until their lips were almost overlapping.
Still, it would not stop.
Karina brought her lips close to his ear and told him in a small voice so that no one would hear them, even though they were alone in the space.
“I love ……—“
