The Crisis World XX

Chap. 20: New Problems in School

It's not my feeling anymore, I was completely ignored by all of them. Has something happened? What happens when I'm not around?

Unknowingly, Hasuki who was talking to her friends glanced at me and suddenly let out a small grin.

Blams…

When I was confused, suddenly a teacher came in indicating that the first lesson was about to begin.

"Everyone, sit in their own place."

The other students immediately sat down—, as well as me. I sat down and thought about it. Are they jealous of something? Or I made a mistake I didn't realize.

During the lesson I barely noticed the teacher's explanation at all. I was busy thinking about what I had done until I was shunned by one class. I didn't go to class this week and I was fine before.

Teng…

"Then get here."

Without me knowing the first lesson ended quickly.

Let my brain think! Think of something that keeps you away. But it's all for nothing, it's too weird to happen.

Eh? I don't think this is too weird. Moreover, I have entered the side of the world filled with dangerous monsters and met dangerous women who never smiled.

**

"Hachiki …!"

Meanwhile at the orphanage, Herlin suddenly sneezes without cause while she is drying clothes. Aiza-san who was nearby also asked her how she was.

"Are you not feeling well, Herlin-chan?" ask Aiza-san.

"I'm fine."

He also continued to take the rest of the clothes in the bucket to immediately sunbathe without caring about the cause of the sneeze earlier.

**

But still, it bothers me a little. Although I'm not very close to all my classmates, but I can't believe that even Kudou and Hira ignored me. And it would also be troublesome to do nothing in the future. I have to do something! But what?! I'm trying to think of something. Aaa! it's useless, I can't think of anything to solve this problem.

"Huh …."

I took a long breath. All this weirdness makes me sleepy. Instead of dizzy thinking about this, I better just sleep. Who knows if I can find him.

Tuks…

"Hn?"

As I was about to go to sleep, suddenly someone threw a paper ball from behind me. I realized it and then took it. I looked back and could not find the person who threw this.

"What's this?"

How strange. I opened the paper and saw what was inside. 'Meet us on the roof of the school during the break, - Kudou.'

I smiled after seeing the letter. It turns out to be true, Kudou and Hira couldn't possibly betray me just like that. There must be a reason behind all this. A reason I did not think of.

Then at recess, I'll ask him to explain what really happened. After that, the second teacher enters the class. But because I was too sleepy, so I continued my sleep.

**

Teng…

"Then the lesson gets here."

The sound of the break bell has rung. The teacher of the lesson had also come out and immediately the class became crowded. There are students who take out their lunch boxes from their bags, some approach their friend's bench and others.

Hasuki-san's stool is also as usual always the most crowded bench during the break. Meanwhile, Kudou and Hira went straight out of the classroom. So did I who immediately followed him to meet him on the roof of the school.

I walked through the hallway to immediately climb the stairs to the roof. By the way, this was the first time I climbed onto the roof again after the explosion incident back then.

The tip of my lips lifted up a little. Remembering the incident made me smile to myself. That time I saved Hasuki from the indistinct black fog that possessed her.

I finally reached the rooftop of the school and there were two people waiting for me, Kudou and Hira. They were looking towards the school field below.

Kudou then turned his body around when I came. Then he smiled at me.

"Yes!"

"Are you healthy, Iraya?" ask Hira.

He threw the packaged bread at me which I swiftly caught. I also opened the sandwich bag.

"Hah .. I'm really surprised you guys ignored me in class. Joking you guys aren't funny, you know. I thought you guys turned cold and cuckoo like someone I know."

**

"Hachiki …!"

Again Herlin sneezed for no apparent reason as he was trying to feed one of the children in the orphanage.

"Yeah! Onee-chan's sick!" said the little boy.

"Onee-chan is fine, now open your mouth because the plane is about to land."

"Aaa .. mmm!"

Herlin immediately put a spoonful of food into the child's mouth. While returning to pick up food from the plate that was left a little, Herlin suddenly thought a little on the grounds he sneezed.

"It looks like last night I took too long to soak."

**

"It's impossible, right? Your friend since this Junior High wasn't so evil as to ignore you for no apparent reason?"

"Ahaha .. true as well!"

A pause of silence occurred between the dialogue of the three of us. I used it to eat that sandwich. And then Kudou called me.

"Nee .. Iraya."

"Hn?"

"The reason classmates stay away from you. Do you want to know that?"

"Yes that's it. If I can I want to find out, so that I can solve the problem as soon as possible. Geez! What exactly did I do until they walked away from me like that?"

When he wanted to answer my question, suddenly Kudou looked at Hira. Hira then realized what Kudou wanted.

"Heah ... Why should I too?" hira said while scratching her head.

"So .. the reason you were shunned by classmates is .. because someone told you that you …." Hira's words hang.

"Bwahwa akwu?" My words were a little messy because my mouth was full of sandwiches.

"… That you tried to rape .. Hasuki-san."

After speaking like that, Hira then turned her face away from my eyes. I heard it clearly, but I didn't understand Hira's words just now.

"What ... you mean?" I said the little one who still couldn't believe it.

I put the unfinished bread on the ground. I then stood up and walked slowly towards Hira.

"I-Iraya?"

Bucc…

"What the fuck does that mean?!"

I hit Hira right on her cheek hard enough to make her fall to the ground. Kudou who saw that instantly helped him to not fall down badly enough.

"A-Initially I didn't believe it either, but …."

"But what?!"

"O-Oi Iraya! Calm down! We both have decided not to trust the rumors. But we can't do anything with the other class" Kudou said.

"Yes, trust us."

My eyes and Hira stared long enough. With a face in pain, she could still give me a look that made me believe her. After that silent pause, I took my breath to calm down. Once it calmed down, I then spoke normally again.

"Has this rumor spread to teachers?"

"No, as far as I'm concerned, this rumor has only spread among the class children."

"so yeah. I'm sorry for getting carried away, Hira."

"No, I know it's gonna end up like this."

I stretched out my hand to help her stand up. Then he accepted my hand. And in line with that, the bell finished the break and we immediately entered the classroom.

When I walk into class I think. Looks like I've found a suspect I need to interrogate. That fellow. It seems he still has a grudge against me.

**

The school bell had rung and it was time to go home. It's time to meet him.

I walked up the stairs and there I found him. He was walking with his friends and wanted to go home. I tried to call him too.

"Hasuki-san!"

He looked, then the friend who was talking to him also looked. The expression of Hasuki-san's friend when she saw me was disgusted by me. His friend whispered to Hasuki-san and told Hasuki-san not to pay me any heed. But Hasuki-san doesn't care about it.

"What's up, Satou-kun?"

"Can we talk for a second?"

He told his friend to go first. At first his friend disagrees, but Hasuki-san assures them that nothing will happen to him. Finally his friend left.

"I'm a busy man, you know? If you want to talk about something, I hope it's important."

He shook off a hair blocking his face and then put one hand on his waist with a proud stern.

"Just get to the point, did you spread the rumor?"

As I was talking about it, without me realizing suddenly he made a small grin.

"Whatchu mean? I don't understand a little."

"Don't pretend to be stupid, Hasuki-san!"

"… You're upset that you can't recruit me into your personal bodyguard, right?! You're upset that 'rich kids' like you can't get what you want, don't you?!"

"…."

"Take care of me, Hasuki-san."

Hasuki was silent at my statement, there was a pause of silence and then she lowered her head. Did he finally confess? But still, in front of me and in front of others, Hasuki Chifu was like two different people.

"Aha .. haha .. hahaha!"

"What's so funny?"

He suddenly laughed and became the Hasuki-san I met at his house. This is Hasuki-san a fashion rich man.

"That's right! I spread the rumor, it is your fault for not complying with my request, the 'Rich Princess' Hasuki Chifu-sama! If you follow my orders, maybe you won't end up like this, Satou-kun!"

"…."

I just fell silent and biting my lower lip held back the anger of seeing the change in her nature. Seeing me silent, Hasuki-san then sighed and spoke again.

"Nee .. Satou-kun, I suggest one thing to you. You better move out of this school, if you can move out of this town. Because your youth here is ruined."

"What's a—?"

"Of course, if you don't want to be treated like a criminal here."

"You …!"

I quickly walked down the stairs to approach her and taught her a little lesson. It doesn't matter who the most famous girl in school is or who. I'll teach him a little lesson!

"Stop, Iraya!" shout Cecilia.

"…?!"

Why are you suddenly talking. I almost forgot about you being in my head all this time. Why at a time like this do you even talk, you fucking lady!

Because of Cecilia's shout, I stopped my new steps down two to three steps.

"Hn? What's up?"

"Cool your head! Don't make this worse for you! You're lucky that all he's done is spread rumors. We don't know what's going to happen in the future if you hit him!"

"Tch!"

Cecilia's right. I should be able to hold back my anger over all his treatment. At least for now, the most important thing is not to make this situation worse.

"You why? Is your head gone wrong?"

"…."

I just kept quiet and answered nothing. Hasuki-san then takes the smartphone from inside her bag and then checks the smartphone for a while.

"Is our conversation over? I still have business now."

He then once again showed a humbling smile. As if I could do nothing about it.

"See you later—no, maybe it will be more suitable .. goodbye, Satou-kun."

Hasuki-san then left from there. For the first time I really wanted to hit a girl. I took a breath to calm myself down.

I'll still be practicing a match with Herlin later in the afternoon, so there's no reason to linger here. On the way I also talked to Cecilia again.

"Oh yeah, Cecilia?"

"What's wrong?"

"Lately you've been quieter, yeah. Usually you're always bothering me with your mind-reading skills, what's up?"

"I'm not bothering you. Lately, I've been doing what I have to do."

"What do you have to do? Wh-what's that?! Don't you want to make a bomb that can blow me up?!"

"Yes, be prepared because it'll be over soon, you'll be dead and I can be relieved not to hear your noisy chatter anymore!"

Cecilia's words are angry, but I know that's not what she's doing.

"L-It doesn't seem like it, does it?"

"Huh .. anyway this is not something that harms you. Even if you master it, it'll be something that benefits you."

"really? So what's that?"

"Secret."

"Basic stingy woman!"

"Despite my voice and appearance as a woman, a Spirit like me has no gender, you know."

"Da-Basic half-and-half!"

"You're out of words, aren't you?" cecilia flat said.
