The One Sitting Next To Me Is A Real Japanese! Volumes 1

They Are Wild Animals

As a result, Eza stayed awake during the lesson despite having to go through several hours of hell. Because every time Eza would enter the dreamland, there would be a stab in his body from the person sitting next to him.

After the lesson ended, Eza finally got his free time. But he was then confused about using his break hours for lunch or sleep in class.

At this moment he was really very sleepy, his eyes were already very heavy for him to take care of. It was coupled with a comfortable classroom atmosphere, as well as a light wind blowing stroked the entire body of Eza. On the other hand, his stomach was also hungry. The sound of wriggling from inside his stomach could be heard and it would be difficult for him to sleep. Plus, if he missed lunch this time, Eza would lose his focus during the next lesson hours.

All those complicated choices kept Eza's mind until he furrowed his brows.

“Ampun, deh. This way it will be difficult to rest.”

Eza breathed heavily. It was difficult for him to last any longer, the morning he went with the pencil tip stab that Yuuki launched could still feel Eza up to his bones.

But then he looked towards the clock and decided to put on his break for lunch. After all, he had to keep his condition and avoid the other stabs from Yuuki.

“It is better to eat spicy super food in order to continue to be literate. Chili is an energy source, spicy food is an advanced fuel.”

Muttering that happily, Eza got up from where he was sitting to be able to go to the cafeteria. But just as he stood up, Yuuki came to him with a relieved face because he still saw Eza in the classroom.

“Ah, Eza. Thank goodness you're still here. Would you like to go to the cafeteria?”

“Yes, I was just about to go there. Is there a problem?”

“It just so happens that I also want to go to the cafeteria. How about we go to the cafeteria together?”

After Yuuki said that, the people inside the class were originally busy with their respective affairs, though, suddenly distract them and glance sharply like the video of “The Rock” with its sound effects towards Eza and Yuuki. Eza who heard Yuuki's invitation suddenly was also no less surprised. In addition to being surprised, he also felt the threat from friends in his class and made him shiver a little and sweat.

Ohhaha!!! Why are you doing this?! Are you not satisfied after torturing me with that sharp tip of your pen!?

Eza screamed in his heart to protest and ask Yuuki for forgiveness, but he was unable to say it in front of everyone, because he can be the subject of a blow by his own friends and yell “why are you yelling Iroha stupid otaku base!” to Eza. Just imagining it makes my hair stand up.

“What's up, Eza? Why are you silent? Is there a problem?”

Yes, ada! Look around you try?! Can't you see a lot of our friends who suddenly turn out to be good killers, huh!?

As if hearing Eza's heart, or perhaps from feeling the gazes of his classmates, Yuuki then looked around him, and as he did so, as he did so, the entire person who was staring intently suddenly turned back to normal as if nothing had happened. After a few seconds of staring, Yuuki returned his gaze towards Eza and right then and there, his classmates stared intently at Eza again.

Kampree! Just look out for all of you basic characters besideaaaan!

As powerful as her strength, Eza yelled cursing in her heart to all of her classmates who had already betrayed her. Eza's mentality had already begun to erode at this moment. First having a tormented morning, in the afternoon he became a target of murder. He did not imagine what would happen next and continued to think about some possible scenarios.

“Hey, you hear? Don't just shut up. If you don't want to then just say it, don't make unnecessary excuses.”

Eza's consciousness returns after he is reprimanded by Yuuki. He saw Yuuki put on a sullen and slightly displeased expression on his face. At the sight of that, Eza felt a little pain in his heart seeing Yuuki's expression which was like keeping a lot of secrets and with that too, he accepted Yuuki's offer.

“Good. Let's go there together.”

“Then, come!”

When Eza agreed to go to the cafeteria with her, Yuuki showed a bright and warm smile. That expression seemed to be omitting if Yuuki had previously put on a sad expression.

As long as he lived his life, Eza always did not feel interested in the surrounding he felt everything felt bland. But for some reason, Eza felt a lot of deep emotion behind Yuuki's sad expression. An expression he often sees or even feels for himself. Eza felt a nostalgic feeling inside him, and it moved him without him noticing.

Then after Yuuki smiled back, Eza felt relief in his heart. He felt he had made the right decision, as if his decision could prevent the departure of others and he could always hold on to it. All of those feelings he felt for a short time, and Eza went to the cafeteria by walking next to Yuuki, leaving his classmates still staring intently.

After walking for a while to go to the cafeteria, they ordered their food.

“Eza, what do I want to eat?”

“Hm? I think I want spicy food provided in today's menu.”

“Are you okay? You don't want to eat anything else?”

Yuuki who heard Eza's reply simply replied, “So?” then turned his gaze towards the one who served in the canteen, his spicy “ trial one and lunch set number two one, please.”

After receiving the ordered order, Yuuki instantly paid for the two dishes that had been ordered and proceeded to go look for the empty table. Eza who saw that was slightly stunned and rushed following Yuuki.

“Hei, wait!”

Eza continued to chase Yuuki from behind with a brisk walk—because he could not run in the canteen— area which was far enough to the empty table that Yuuki had found. Eza was finally able to catch up with Yuuki after he had already sat down at the table that Yuuki had been aiming at.

“Sit, Eza. You are interfering with other students.” Said Yuuki while putting their respective food on the table.

“Oh, you want to be the chairman of Sylvia, yes? Oi! Wait, that's not what I meant! Why are you in such a hurry?”

“If not fast, then his table will be taken by others.”

“Well, I know what you mean. But I can bring my own order. Also, how much is my food worth? I replaced it, thanks for paying it first.”

“No need.”

“Alright, not us—hah?”

Eza who had already taken out his wallet and immediately took the money inside, suddenly fell silent at Yuuki's reply.

“I said it's okay. Quickly eaten. Food will taste good while still warm, right?”

“No, No. It's not a matter of warm food. I feel bad if you pay for my food.”

Yuuki furrowed his brows hearing Eza's stubbornness that didn't want to listen to what he said.

“Don't I tell you it's okay? I feel guilty for stabbing your body with the tip of a pencil, so I treat you as my apology. Also, shouldn't you obey what I said during this one day? So quickly enjoy my apology, ok?”

“Uh ... Alright.”

Eza doesn't know what's going on right now. He had never seen Yuuki like this before, apologizing for stabbing the tip of his pencil into Eza's body by treating him to a meal. The sudden drastic change made Eza unable to follow the plot.

As Eza thought about the oddity that was going on, Yuuki opened his mouth again.

“To be honest, if you don't want to continue your punishment I don't mind, really. If you feel burdened with all my commands then you can end your punishment game.”

... Whahuh? What happened all of a sudden!?

“What do you mean?”

“You were in trouble during the lesson hours, weren't you? I don't want my orders to make you a burden. Therefore, if you find it difficult with all that, we can stop now.”

What Eza is feeling right now is really messed up and he can't work it out clearly. Starting from the strange feelings that arise when Yuuki's sad face is shown in the classroom, Yuuki's smile that makes Eza feel relieved, to Yuuki's suddenly soft nature, Eza had no idea what was happening. Eza was not unhappy, instead he was happy to see Yuuki like that. But Eza had absolutely no idea why he felt that way.

As Eza raged with his thoughts, Yuuki broke his concentration, “hey, are you listening to me?”

Eza, who was jolted at Yuuki's words with his jutek expression, regained his senses and understood a little ...

“No. I don't want to serve my sentence half-and-half. My pride as a man will be questioned, you know.”

“You sure? Then, when I get home from school, help me finish the OSIS job. Do the right thing, ok?”

“Good.”

At the very least, he felt something that might have been lost long ago, like coming back.
