Episode 28 – appeal

Ouch…… It’s been a day and the wound is still there. She bit me too hard, even if it was just for fun.
The blood has stopped already, but I’ll put a bandage on it just in case.

Well, Haruie san was in a bad mood when we parted. She invited me over to her house, but I turned her down because I didn’t have my books.　How much do you want me to come over to your house, did you buy a new game or something?　Well, I’ll come visit you after the test period is over.

“Oh, good morning! Amamiya-san.”

“Yeah, good morning.”

Amamiya-san is a healer. …… The other students walked away as soon as I approached them. The worst one sidestepped to avoid me as I passed her. You don’t have to do that to avoid me, I’m not going to bump into you.

“Huh? What happened to your finger ……?”

What?　You’re a good judge of character, noticing the band-aid. I’m sure you’re watching me very carefully after all.”

“Haha, just messing around with an old friend.”

Normally I would have just said something like “I made a mistake in cooking” or something, but I don’t want to lie to Amamiya-san. I’ll keep quiet about the fact that I was bitten, though.

“Hmm….Is that Haruie san?”

“Yes, that’s right. She was unexpectedly a bit of a yankee,……?”

What is it?　Have I ever told you about Haruie san?

“Yes, but how did you know?　I have a lot of friends besides her.”

Oh, that wasn’t so good, was it?　I think it’s hurtful to show off how many friends you have, don’t you?　No, but Amamiya is very popular right now.

“Lots of people, huh? ……”

……?　It was a casual murmur, but I felt a little chill …….

“Y-yeah. I’m proud to say that there are quite a few out there.”

I don’t treat everyone equally, so I don’t have anyone I can call a best friend, but I think I’m pretty well acquainted. To put it bluntly, I’m a people-pleaser, but if I’m handsome, that’s fine.

“……I’m sure you’re right. Hatoyama-kun is cheerful, and I think he had a lot of friends.”

“Haha, Amamiya-san has lots of friends now, too.”

A month ago, I couldn’t even imagine it. Who could have imagined that she would have to turn down guys’ confessions every day?

“……? Oh, yeah.
Thanks to you.”

Thanks to me, huh? I feel as if one of my students got into college. I’ve never experienced such a thing, and I don’t think I ever will.

“So, how did you know? That it was Haruie san who did this.”

“I can understand that. I think Haruie san is the only person who would fight me head-on like this.”

　…..?　Sure, it’s an injury from a bite, but it’s not the same as a fight, right?　I mean, how do you know somebody was harmed if you didn’t see the moment of the injury?　Wouldn’t it be more natural to think that I got hurt when we were joking around?　You see, I was playing around and got scratched, or something along those lines. ……

Should I buy it? Or should I let her swim?”
　
…………?　Even Amamiya-san took out some mysterious words and actions. Who influenced her?　I’m suspicious of the study group members.

Are we talking about buying a fight?　Is she buying? You mean Amamiya biting Haruie? By “swim” do you mean dare not buy the fight? Like not arresting until the crimes accumulate to the point of a life sentence? I don’t know, I don’t know everything.

“Hahaha, get along, okay.”

“Get along?　Fufu, Even though going to Dubai?”

What? Why are we suddenly talking about traveling abroad?　If we’re going on a trip, isn’t there some other place we can go?　Why Dubai?

“Do you have a dream? I have an image of Dubai as a celebrity.”

“Celebrity? I’m not that particular. ……”

Then why?　No, I don’t mind. I’m not going to accompany Amamiya and Haruie on their trip.

“I see. I’m going to go do my pre-test review now.”

“…….”

　……?　What did she say?　Oh well. Anyway, I’ll get to studying.

“Hey, how did you do on your test earlier?”

Oh!　That Haruie-san even came to the other class, this is a rare occurrence. How unusual is ……?

“Here come the aliens!”

“Weirdos are attracted to each other, aren’t they?”

“They don’t even know they’re being played.”

It’s so rare that people who are nervous before a test pay attention to it all at the same time. I think I’m half of the reason for this.

“Did you hear that? an alien.”

She laughs like she doesn’t care. I think most high school girls would have cried inside, but I guess she really doesn’t care. She has a strong mentality, or rather, she is a person who is completely indifferent to others.

“You are such a beautiful girl and they say such terrible things about you.”

“…… the view you see is not always the same as the view others see.”

Is this some kind of philosophy?　I don’t remember what it’s called, but there’s a philosophy about reversal clione or reversal spiral.

“Hahaha, then I’m a lucky guy.”

“You’ve been giving me compliments like that for a long time. Zenkichi-kun.”

　……?　It seems like you were speaking louder than usual just now,…….

No, even if it was just my imagination, I couldn’t have been mistaken when Amamiya-san’s eyes widened. So they know each other? Come to think of it, she wanted to go on a trip to Dubai with her. That makes them best friends. They wouldn’t go to Dubai unless they were really close.

“What’s the matter, Zenkichi kun? Are you a little fuzzy from the test?　Zenkichi kun. I thought you were so good at studying that you could teach others.”

I feel like she’s calling me names all the time, but maybe it’s just my imagination. And this is definitely true, but our faces are unnaturally close to each other. Oh, you forgot to button the top button. I should pretend not to notice, since it would be sexual harassment if I paid attention to it.

“Oh? That bandage is …….”

Oh, you noticed? Yes, it is the result of your playfulness. I did a good job, even if it’s not my dominant hand.

“What? Haha, it’s not bleeding anymore, so don’t worry about it.”

“Oh, no, it’s not that I’m sick of it.”

Sick. You did the unforgivable. It’s a genre of injury, okay?

And why are you taking my hand and looking at it like it’s real? Do women like to look at people’s wounds?　Or do you have a fetish for band-aids?

“Fufu, looks like an engagement ring.”

What is she talking about? If I ever marry you, can I just use a band-aid?　A band-aid worth three months’ salary?

And why is Amamiya-san staring at me? I’m under the illusion that I’m right in front of her, even though I’m supposed to be sitting a seat away from her.

“I’m going to change the subject,……, but now that I think about it, Zenkichi kun, you were able to do most things.”

As se said this, she glanced toward Amamiya. What kind of eye contact is that?　Is she going to tell me something she doesn’t want me to hear?

“bad at intercourse, though.”

…… Eh?　What did you say now?　I think she said a ton of things rather loudly, but I’m not sure if I’m imagining it.　Obviously the students around me are getting a little zany, but is it just my imagination?　Does what Haruie just said have anything to do with the fact that Amamiya looks like a statue of Fudo Myoo?
