Ai To Shiawase's

Ch. 31: Accidental

...Sometimes accident can be bad for others....

...\=•\=•\=...

I don't think today's painting club is over. Turns out, my master paints aren't as bad as I imagined. Mr. Raito taught very gently. Sometimes, he slipped a joke in the middle of the material so that the atmosphere of teaching and learning to be fun.

Rin and I walked out together with a bag.

"City ... Rin ...." I stopped my steps and called Rin.

Rin immediately stopped his steps and turned 180 degrees. "Hm?" Rin raised both eyebrows. "What's up, Ai?" continues asking.

"Haah? A-ah no no. That's ... there's nothing hehe ...." Actually, I want to ask for back the pencil that Rin borrowed earlier. But, I don't think it's necessary. Let it be, after all Rin has helped me a lot too.

After hearing my reaction, suspicion appeared on him. Yes, it was visible from his frowning forehead. "Aigoo .. if you want to say something, just say it. Don't play secrets like this. I don't like to know ...." Rin hugged my neck tightly until I almost fell down.

I went back to taking out the 'last move' that I used to evade. Well, I showed a forced smile. "Really, there's nothing, Rin. I just want to call you, that's all," I wrote the story to cover up the truth.

Rin loosened his embrace. "Emm .. fine if it's like that. But, next time if you want to say something to me, just say it. No need to hesitate. I won't be mad .. maybe hehe ...." Scratching his head, Rey smiled broadly.

"Hm hm!" I nodded my head twice to ignore Rin.

At the same time, we heard the sound of human footsteps coming together from a distance not far from where we were. Rin and I reflexively turned around and saw what really happened here. "Well?!" How surprised we were to find out that the sound of footsteps was the sound of Rey and Ryuji's footsteps chasing.

"Oy, stop fucking shit!" Rey shouted loudly. It seemed, he was warning Ryuji to stop running. But, why would Rey call it 'fuck'. A bad thing just happened, I'm sure of it.

However, instead of stopping, Ryuji instead increased his running speed. As a result, he also managed to widen his distance with Rey. He looked back occasionally to check on Rey.

As Ryuji ran, his gaze was fixed on us. He hurried to change his direction, towards where we were standing at the moment. "Rin Rin ... Ai. .. Please protect me." Ryuji squatted behind us both. He looked very frightened.

"Ryuuji? There is ap–" Not finished Rin spoke, I first said, "RYUJI! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" I grabbed the back of my skirt and beat her head. Just now, I felt that she was holding onto my back skirt.

"Aduh ... pain .. eeee .. I'm sorry, Ai. I-I didn't accidentally, ha-just. Re-Rey .. she .. hii ...." Ryuji immersed his entire body behind my body and Rin.

"Rey? Wh why? Is there something with Rey?!" I asked the question many times so that this curiosity can be paid off.

Ryuji slowly started looking up. "In-dia–" Again, he's not finished talking, someone cut the conversation first. "Hey! Don't hide in there! Get out!" Rey yells at Ryuji once again. However, this time it was not a warning to stop running, but rather a warning to get out from behind our bodies.

"Rey, I was really unintentional. I'm sorry!" ryuji said in fear.

"Hey! Because of your accident, I became a laughing stock in the music club, you know? Hurry up, you have to pay for everything you've done!" snapped Rey in a tone of anger, annoyance, and vengeance.

Ryuji was getting scared in the back. "Rey, I'm sorry!" The Tashibara man apologized to Rey many times. Actually, what's going on here?!

Rey clenched her hands and then walked forward towards where Ryuji was. "alright. If you won't surrender, then I will take you forcibly!" threaten Rey while walking a short distance with Ryuji.

"Rey ... What do you want to do?!" Ryuji peeked in fear from behind Rin's body.

Rey smiled cynically. "Eitherway. Maybe, I'll make you tiger food" Rey threatened to scare Ryuji.

"Did?!" Ryuji surprised.

"YESY?!" Upon hearing Rey's threat, Ryuji was even more shocked.

"Hihi .. Let's go to the lion's den, Tashibara Ryuji!" Rey's hand was about to pull Ryuji's collar. However, I stopped Rey first.

I held Rey's hand, asking, "What's really going on, Rey? Why is Ryuji scared like that? And why are you even chasing after him?!" Now, I ask Rey a lot of questions. I want to make sure of this obscurity.

Rey looked me in the eye. "Huh ...." Then, he also sighed. "Ryuji has humiliated me in the music club. So, I want to avenge him!" cynical Rey.

"But I was not on purpose!" suhut Ryuji from behind our bodies.

"Wittingly or not, I don't care. You have humiliated me!" furious Rey.

The two of them again argued over the matter. While Rin and I just listen, because we do not know the root of the problem. However, over time, these ears became irritated upon hearing their debates. I closed my ears, trying to muffle the noise of this debate, but unfortunately, I couldn't. "DIAAAAAM!" I shouted, "IT'S DONE, ENOUGH! Rey, can you explain why you and Ryuji fought?!" I asked once more.

However, Rey, Ryuji, and even Rin, fell silent. They blinked their eyes twice. "Well, I'll tell you what it is" Rey said.

The Flashback Rey

"Well, today, I want to hear one of the students of the TOKYO High School music club, play the piano. Does anyone here like to play the piano?" ask the music club teacher.

All the students were silent at once. However, confidently, Rey raised her hand. "I, Sir!"

"Hm? Wow ... good good. Rarely are there students who want to go forward and pursue their talents. What's your name, son?" ask again.

"Rey ... Tachibana Rey" said Rey introduced herself.

"Alright, Rey. Please come forward and show your talent, you want to see it!"

"Good, Sir!" Rey got out of her chair and walked towards the piano she had been provided with.

Map ... tap ... TAP ...

Rey stops her steps when she finds out that she has been standing in front of the class.

"Everyone, we're gonna listen to Rey's piano. You guys, take a good look, yeah!" firmly the man. "Please, Rey!" The man invites Rey to play the piano.

"Thank you, sir!" Rey sat on the piano chair and positioned her body to play comfortably.

When she was comfortable, Rey played her piano music. As always, Rey's piano music sounds amazing. All views are centered on him. However, the melody of the pampering ear stopped immediately, when a rubber band of pseudo-brown color hit the corner of Rey's eye.

The tone of the piano played by Rey was instantly disheveled. All the students who had been fascinated, even became laughing. Rey was embarrassed by it. Apparently, the person who did this was ... Ryuuji.

The Flashback Rey Off

"So so the story ...," Rey continued in a lethargic tone. Rin and I turned around and looked at Ryuji.

"Ryuji ..," called me and Rin along with a soft voice.

"I'M SORRY!" yell that man.
