"Finally you showed yourself yes, stalker san."
"Well, it's been found out too."
Haru Chan walked into the GOR with a bottle and towel for me. I can't believe he still sees me training when it's a long way from our home hours.
"Nee Izu kun's. Do you want to be an athlete in the future?"
"No, I don't have any plans that far."
"Then why are you training so hard?"
"I just want to be stronger."
"Huh?"
"Well, I just don't want to lose to anyone else. I want to be useful to the team. That's why I have to practice."
"Heee, your reason is unique to Izu kun."
"No, isn't that just a weird excuse?"
"Hmm? Weirdo? That is precisely his unique. You unknowingly train and keep getting stronger, you've been useful to the team but you still don't want to lose."
"Is the horror greedy?"
"Yes greedy. But I don't hate him."
We chatted continuously even though the topic was rather unimportant.
After 100 shots, we finally started our journey home.
While we were talking, a group of men came to us.
"Nee ojou chan. Want to play with us?"
"Eh, I'm sorry I have business so can't."
"Come a minute..."
One of the men's hands approached Haru chan. I directly blocked it.
"I'm sorry, don't you know how to be ashamed?"
"Huh? Go away I have no business with you."
Yep, the situation is 4 vs 1. Even so I still won't hand Haru chan over to them.
The first blow was fired by a man in green clothes. Whether I work often or how, when I avoid and launch a counterattack he even bounced away.
"Silk..."
The man in white with the black cardigan advanced. When I hit him, I felt the cardigans were pretty good. Surely Yuuta would be happy to get his.
When his two friends fell, all that was left could only escape. I thank my boring life so I can achieve a strong physique.
"Thank you, Izu kun."
"It's okay. Are you okay?"
Haru chan nodded. However, his hands were still slightly trembling.
"Your hand is okay?"
"Ah, yes. Ha-just shaking a little bit anyway."
What little even your voice trembled. There's no way I'm gonna let him come home with that kind of fear.
I pulled Haru Chan's hand and started walking. It seems Haru Chan was surprised by my actions. I was surprised myself too.
"Thank you Izu kun. I love you."
"..."
I feel like I've been bombed. Then I'm the one who's shaking.
[Akane Harumi's point of view]
Kyah!! I'm saying. I really said it. I haven't said that in a long time and what the hell was that? Izu kun is so cool.
"Take it easy Akane Harumi."
I tried to calm myself down and get out of the room. When I was in front of the entrance, I saw Izu kun's face. On his left cheek was a bruise. Looks like it was a boy's punch earlier.
"Izu kun, your cheek."
"Ah is nothing. It doesn't even hurt."
"Stop lying, sit there and I'll take an ice cube."
"Well, but can I wear clothes first?"
When I realized, Izu kun was half-naked. It seems like she forgot to bring her change of clothes while taking a shower. I saw his trained body, it looked really cool.
"Ma-sorry Haru chan can you not look at me like that?"j
"Ah, yes sorry Izu kun. That's pretty cool."
I immediately ran away to get the cloth and the ice cube box. After making her ice pack, I went straight back to the sofa. There was Izu kun waiting.
"Sorry wait long Izu kun."
"No, I just got here."
"Give me that cheek!"
Izu kun showed her cheeks towards me. The bruises are blue. Seems pretty bad.
I began compressing the wound with a cloth wrapped in ice.
"Aws... Slow down Haru chan."
"Other times you have to be more careful. I don't want you to get hurt again."
[Shuji Izumi's point of view]
I will do it for you and can you not express yourself like you want to cry?
"Yes I'll be more careful. But you also have to be more careful Haru Chan. It's likely that bullies like them will come to see beautiful, cute girls like you."
"Beautiful and cute..."
Oi, did you hear my warning?
As Haru Chan compressed my wounds while smiling his own smile, I no longer felt any pain. He could be a great doctor.
"Haru Chan. Lukaku is better."
"really? Fuhhh, thank goodness."
"Well, it's all thanks to you, too. Thanks for the care Haru Chan."
"same. But before that."
Haru chan approached my cheek. He's very close.
"God..."
He blew his bruise niup. I could feel the warm air coming from his mouth, but at this close distance he could kiss me.
"O-okay I understand."
"Hihihi, then let's make dinner."
Haru Chan hummed towards the kitchen and left me still in shock with his actions.
"I don't think I'm gonna sleep well tonight."
