Tannin Wo Yosetsukenai Buaisouna Joshi Ni Sekkyou Shitara,

Chapter 1 volume 9

It was as if my ears had been damaged.

I can't hear the sound. World's silent. I could feel my breathing becoming irregular. I looked down at my palm and saw that nothing had changed since then.

My fist sensation was digging into someone's face. The feeling of crashing into a person's pelvis as you push it away with the knee. And the sense of unreasonable achievement I felt when I finished off my opponent.

There goes. This is what I used to feel.

My heart beats unbecoming. Sweat on my face, though not hot. I felt like the heat was being sucked out from inside me.

Will you go back to that time?

I asked myself. As I looked down at the cowering delinquent, I was scared by what was swirling around in my head. That was because there was not a hint of excitement in my mind. It feels good, I thought a little.

That's when I came back to myself.

I gotta go.

I started again. I stepped back, rubbing my shoulders against the soot wall. A small stone hit my heel. The smell leaked from the inlet into my nose. I looked around to see if anyone else was watching us.

The only person here is me and that cowering delinquent.

That convinced me. The police may be here soon. I have to get out of here before they do.

I walked in the opposite direction from where Saito and the others had gone. I got out of the alley, passed the small road, and walked back to the main road.

There was a spider web around my eyes. I brushed it and turned my face away as I walked faster.

I can't recognize myself. I've forgotten myself. There was someone blocking my way, right in front of me, and some kind of instinct took over that I had to beat him.

I thought I had decided to never lift my fist again, but my body was moving on its own.

After I got home, I found a lot of messages on my phone. Shindo and Saito were constantly asking questions about where I was going and what happened to me.

They had brought some police from the police station, as I expected. However, all that remained was a squirming delinquent figure.

Kenji Saito: I have trouble explaining what happened after that. The arrears were the ones who fainted, so he looked at us as if we were the culprit.

Naoya Ookusu: Sorry about that.

One of the policemen was the one who had dealt with the delinquents before, so he could understand the situation. The delinquents didn't say anything embarrassing about being beaten by me but said they had a sudden stomachache.

Kenji Saito: Why did you suddenly disappear? You and all the other criminals.

I have decided the answer.

Naoya Ookusu: This is a simple story. When they saw one of them start to suffer, the others panicked. I took advantage of the situation and fled. I think other people went out to ask for help. And when they see the cops there, they might turn around.

Kenji Saito: Oh, so.

Saito seems satisfied with that. He did not mention it further.

However, I soon received a skeptical message from Shindo.

Shindo Satoru: I wonder why the delinquent suddenly got a stomachache.

Naoya Ookusu: I don't know anything about that!

Shindo has a keen intuition even though he is an idiot. In comparison, Saito's head was empty, so it was very easy to deal with it.

Shindo Satoru: Well, but thanks to Ookusu, I escaped. Thank you very much.

Naoya Ookusu: No, don't worry about that. In any case, we were in a situation where we had to flee alone and have the police come.

Shindo Satoru: Whatever the case may be, it's a good thing we're all safe.

Enami-san entered the classroom just as the second period class ended.

Since the break time and Enami-san are always late, no one cares.

I watched Enami-san for a reason.

Even though he was late, he did not seem to be in a hurry at all. It was as if he thought that this was the time he should be in school. She did not look sleepy, and her school uniform was only worn in style.

I don't know if she's asleep or not, but I don't think she's in a hurry to get up early.

At the same time, I thought she was still beautiful. He just walks around like he's bored, not caring about his classmates. But there was something about him that interested me.

–If she smiles, she must be cute.

As of now, since the beginning of my second year, the only time she made it to school without being late was six times. Moreover, he had been late to school all this time.

–Well, come to think of it, he himself did not skip school.

I tried to remember if Enami-san had ever missed a class, but I don't remember it. If he was so absent-minded that it was too late, he would be absent more often than not. Perhaps that was the reason why the teacher was so worried about Enami-san.

When I saw Nishikawa walking towards Enami-san's chair, I threw my face away. It would be awkward if I was caught staring at him.

I turned my gaze forward and saw Fujisaki standing right in front of me.

Ookusu-kun's chat. You have seen Enami-san the entire time. "

Apparently, he had been there a while ago. I was too busy looking back to notice.

"Well, there was a problem yesterday."

Since I promised, I have to work together with Fujisaki to persuade Enami-san. But to do that, we need more information about Enami-san. After all, I was unable to have a conversation with anyone other than Nishikawa. Enami-san's profile is unfilled except that he is a delinquent.

"I noticed this today. Enami-san wasn't really slacking off at the school itself or anything. "

"Huh. That's right."

Fujisaki didn't seem to notice either. I'm sure he wasn't aware of the fact that he came to school every day because his late image was so strong.

"If that's the case, I guess that's why sensei can't give up on her, you know. It's not that she wants to quit school, because she's still at school."

"But if he keeps coming this late, he might get arrested. After all, I don't really know what Enami-san is thinking."

"Yes you're right,.."

Then Fujisaki said.

"Hey, what if there's a study session with Enami-san and the others?"

"Session learning?"

"Yes. Midterm exams are coming soon. Let's take him to study with us. Then maybe Enami-san will be more open to us."

"I wonder if it'll work out well."

He's never been open to anyone before. If we do this, we must make the necessary arrangements with Nishikawa.

"Let's try and see what happens. If we succeed, we can not only learn a lot but also get to know Enami-san, so it's worth a try."

It's a win-win situation for sure. We don't have to wait until after the midterms.

We said we'd think of a way to ask her out later and split up.
