Ai To Shiawase's

Ch. 62: Reina Engineering

Upon arriving at the principal's room, Reina immediately ran over to her uncle who was the principal as well. He ran away leaving me with the four Black Blood members.

"Uncle! .. upss, I mean Principal. Ai is here" he shouted, even though he was right next to his uncle.

The headmaster stopped his work when his eyes glanced at me. "Hmm ... So she's Ai?" ask the black-haired man.

"Yes!" resolute Reina while smiling satisfiedly. His smile seemed to indicate that he would soon get what he wanted.

The headmaster put down his pen and then stood up from his chair. He walked over to me. "Ai, I heard that you committed violent acts against Reina, right?" I had expected it, he would definitely interrogate me with this question.

"No, Sir! Really am. I'm not lying. I really didn't do it. In fact, I don't know why Reina could be like this." Because I feel that I am innocent, of course I will not be silent. Moreover, this concerns my life as well as Reina.

"Hm ...." The headmaster closed his eyes while thinking, it seemed.

"Tck! No-no. He's lying, sir! At that time Ai was angry at me for thinking that me and my friends wanted to bully her. Don't you, guys?" This cunning girl asked her friends.

"L-yes! We were there at the time. I saw it with my own eyes. Ai was violent towards Reina," Yukino Shouko chanted to reinforce their deceit.

"No! It was all a lie. I didn't do it at all, sir. Please trust me!" At times like this, I still try to convince her, even though I know that she's just pretending to be fair. In fact, he will punish me later. Haha .. I already know that.

The headmaster opened his eyes to look at me. He said, "Let me think for a moment. Ai, you've been proven guilty. Yukino Shouko, who is Reina's friend as well as the others, sees you doing it. And, the cctv footage of the school backyard yesterday explains it all. So, there's nowhere for you to dodge. Never mind, just admit your mistake and you'll give you a light sentence" explained the principal.

"Huh ...

... Sir, may I see the cctv footage? I want to know the truth. Because to be honest, yesterday I was at the painting club." No, I can't just give up on him. If I give up then that means I have to swallow bitterly for their injustice. Even if I can't change the decision, then at least I want to see what way they use to slander me.

Huh ... lightly he punished me only with false evidence

"Hmm .. okay. Let's take a look together ...!"

The principal asked me to see the cctv footage. When viewed from his facial expression .. It seemed like the principal had evidence. Did I hit Reina? I guess not.

"Hmm .. the 26th, the 26th. Well, here!" He hit the school's backyard cctv recording on the 26th. "Look ...."

I looked at the video seriously. There was something that bothered me, their faces looked like they were not harboring any lies at all. That means, I did hit him?

The deg!

I was shocked when I saw a long black haired girl making fun of Reina. The girl on the tape then beat up Reina as if she was merciless.

... but .. I've never done this. I admit, this girl looks like me, but only from behind.

"Sir, I swear, it's not me doing this!" my argument does not accept being in a bad condition. How stupid I am right now. Though I already knew that he would definitely not listen to me, but why am I still trying to fight him? Aahh, stupid, stupid.

"The cctv footage has shown it all. Ai, after this you should meet with the guidance counselor to account for your mistakes. All right then, I have a meeting in a minute. Oh yeah, you guys should just disperse, go back to class!" his orders felt innocent. He did not feel guilty despite having made a trick to slander a schoolgirl. So ... is this education? Nope, no. It is not education that is to blame, it is the person in the school that is to blame. No, it's all my own fault. If only I hadn't loved Rey, maybe my life would have been so much happier ...

... maybe.

My daydreams ran out when I felt someone holding my shoulder. Apparently, she was Reina. With a slanted smile, he approached my ear and then whispered. "Hey, try to be self-aware .... Look, you're just a very weak nerdy girl. Can only whine when someone takes something from you .... Tch, I'm sure, Rey wouldn't want to date a lousy girl like you hahaaha .... Ah yes, I just want to give a message. 'Better to retreat, rather than be destroyed', hahaha .. if you know what I mean ...."

"Khehehe .. everyone, let's get out! There's still so much to do." After saying that, Reina invited her men to go out of this room. While I was still in the same place, without moving even a single step. Well, maybe for now I'm still safe, but I don't know a while later. Can I still survive? Hmm. .. I don't know.
