Osawa and six others, including myself, were summoned to the principal’s office.
Takemoto, the short-haired, athletic life guidance teacher, asked Osawa and the others sternly
“You posted that video as a prank, didn’t you?”
“!!!”
Takemoto sensei is famous among the students for being scary.
When asked by such a teacher, Osawa and the others naturally stiffened in fear.
However, Hashimoto began to laugh to fill the silence.
“I-I’m sorry, Sensei! I’m sorry for causing you trouble! That video was certainly a prank that I put up. It was our fault for posting it without thinking it through. I’m really sorry about that!”
“I’m sorry”
“I’m sorry!”
“I’m sorry.”
“I’m sorry, …….”
Osawa and the others bowed their heads, not to me but to the teachers.
“So, that video was just a prank, not a form of bullying. That’s right, isn’t it?!”
The vice principal, a slender man with glasses, said this as if he had already made a definite decision.
And for some reason, he glanced at Osawa.
“C-Could you please clarify? Was there or was there not bullying?”
The middle-aged, overweight principal, sitting sternly, looked at Osawa for a moment, then said emphatically, wiping his sweat with a handkerchief.
“””””！！！！”””””
Osawa and the others immediately perceive the situation.
“I-isn’t it obvious!”
“T-That’s right! There was no bullying at all! That was really just a prank!”
“Right, Mizuki kun?”
Hashimoto, Ryuzaki, and Kaito all gave me big smiles.
Furthermore,
“We may have gone a bit overboard with our pranks, but that’s just the way we always do it, right? Right, Mizuki-chi?”
Katase said as she looked into my face.
Osawa said nothing, just stared blankly away.
“Howis it, Mizuki kun? Were you bullied by these students or not!”
“YYou can answer me honestly! Just tell me the truth….!”
The principal and vice principal looked at me as if they were pleading for help.
Takemoto looked away as if he was holding something back.
…I see, that’s how it is.
I’d always thought it was strange to gather all the parties involved together.
But now it makes sense.
The school doesn’t want to make a big deal out of this.
If the video was found to be bullying, it would be a big problem.
The school has a bad reputation in the community, and if they were to get any more negative publicity, they would be in big trouble.
So, in order to avoid that, they want to say that there was no bullying from the beginning, even though they said they would check the facts.
“The line between teasing and bullying is blurred for kids these days, you know. I’m sure that’s what happened in this case, too. Right, right?”
“Right, Mizuki? It’s not bullying, right?”
“Right? We play together all the time, right?”
Only now, these guys are giving me a good look.
The reason is that they don’t want to be judged as bullies.
I think I understand why this school is in such a mess.
If the principal and vice principal are in this mess, then of course the school must be finished.
–Well…
As for the question of whether or not there was bullying, I have no experience, so I can’t be sure, but I can say that in the eyes of the public, it was probably bullying.
So you can say there was bullying.
–But I really didn’t want this to become a big deal.
I didn’t want this to become a police matter.
Under the current circumstances, I’m sure that only my aunt, who is my tentative guardian, would be notified.
In other words, those people won’t be bothered.
……It’s still a bad idea to make a big deal out of it.
If it becomes news and they find out that I am their child, it might affect their work.
I didn’t pay attention to the video when it was uploaded, but I guess I underestimated the …… social networking site.
If there is even the slightest chance that it could hinder me, I’m going to choose to avoid it here.
In other words, no bullying in this case.
–not publicly speaking.
“I think it was probably bullying.”
“””””…… Eh? “””
Osawa and the others look at me with a stupid look on their faces.
“Hey ……!
“B-Bullying!?!?”
The principal and vice principal looked at me more impatiently.
“But I don’t intend to file a lawsuit or make a police report. That would be troublesome, and we have our own circumstances. So, if the school doesn’t want to make it that much of a problem, there is no need to publicize the fact that there was bullying. And to the parents.”
I said, and they both looked blatantly relieved.
I continued.
“But I don’t get along with Osawa and the others, and we don’t have the kind of relationship where we joke around. That’s why I thought they were bullying me.”
“！！！！”
“Mizuki! You’re ……！！！！.”
Osawa stares at me.
–But.
“What?”
“!!!!!!!”
When I returned my gaze to Osawa, her face tensed up and she averted her gaze.
Let’s have her shut up for now.
“So, please take the appropriate action. This is the case of posting a video of a prank, and I’ll just deal with it.”
As I said this, the principal’s face contorted and he swallowed his spit.
Then he glanced at Osawa and immediately turned over and folded his hands.
“……… understand. Then let’s keep this matter as small as possible and resolve it within the school.”
“P-principal,……”
–I was right.
because the school and I were in agreement on this.
“Actually, parents have been asking us about it quite a bit. There was a violent incident on school grounds the other day, and there is a great deal of distrust. If we rub their voices in the wrong way, we won’t be able to show …… the parents what we’ve done.”
“Well, that’s true, but ……”
Sweat beads on the principal’s cheeks and trickles down his desk.
“And he says he’s not going to talk to the police. That way, we can still keep it quiet.”
“!!!…… yes.”
The vice principal nodded and looked at Osawa and the others.
“The five students who posted this video will be punished accordingly.”
“””””！！！！！！！””””
“W-Wait a minute, sensei! Then my recommendation will be ……!”
Ryuzaki approaches the principal.
“Y-Yes, that’s right! Ryuzaki has the potential to become a professional! So…!”
Then Takemoto-sensei joined in with a panicked look on his face.
That’s right.
Takemoto sensei is the basketball club’s advisor.
And Ryuzaki is the basketball club’s ace.
It would be bad for Ryuzaki’s career to be tarnished at this point.
–But…
The principal was sweating profusely and tapped his desk with a very impatient look on his face.
“But still, that doesn’t mean I won’t be punished?! I’m suffering too!!! It’s not enough that my high school is full of stupid people!!!”
“Principal?!?”
The principal is out of breath.
“T-that……”
“Seriously, huh? ……”
Takemoto-sensei and Ryuzaki are lying on the ground without any strength.
I don’t want to make a big deal out of it.
So if I say there was no bullying, that’s all there is to it.
–However.
It’s a bit annoying to have to do what they say.
I’m human, and I get frustrated sometimes.
And if I say “there was no bullying,” as they want me to, I might be a sitting duck.
It would be more troublesome to be licked than to be antagonized.
If Osawa and the others hold a grudge against me for this, and try to do something more to me.
It’s a hassle, but I’ll take care of it—-
“Then, these five students will be suspended from school, suspended from residence, or in the worst case scenario, expelled from school. ……”
The principal was about to say that—
“”Wait a minute, Principal? lol”
Osawa, who had been silent, raised her hand with a defiant smile.
The principal’s color changed.
“Is it okay? Doing that. You know, right? You know that my dad donates a lot of money to this school.”
““！！！！！！！！””
The principal and vice principal shudder.
…… Yes, I’ve heard of it.
Osawa’s father is the president of some company, and he donates money to Narayama High School.
So the teachers are meditating to some extent on Osawa’s reckless behavior.
“If you give me, my friend, a punishment, it might be …… bad, right? lol”
The principal and vice principal rattled and shook their hands.
The handkerchief they were wiping was soaked with sweat.
“Yes, that’s right! We’ll try to keep this as private as possible! Let’s just make them write a letter of remorse! Hey, Mizuki!
That’s fine!? You don’t mind too much, do you?”
Takemoto-sensei was coming at me.
It seems that he wants to have an achievement that his student became a professional.
“Teacher? You understand, don’t you?”
Osawa gives the principal a hard time.
The principal turns over and then …….
“…… Mizuki. I will listen to your request. So let’s …… “
The principal was about to say–
“What nonsense are you talking about?”
Opening the door of the principal’s office, “Yukimiya” walked in with her beautiful silver hair swinging.
