Chapter 124 – Ignorance
Despite carrying a heavy bag, Miyuki jumped out at breakneck speed and blocked us. She looked up at me, not Tetsuya, and stretched out her arms.
“What are you doing! Why are you hitting people!? You know how much I hate this stuff? I don’t know?”
“I didn’t hit him, I touched him. And that bastard crosses the line first. Hey Miura. Say what you said right here and now.”
When I pointed at Tetsuya with a slightly exasperated reaction, Miyuki put her hand on my chest and held on.
“I was just kidding…”
The spirited Tetsuya made an excuse.
It is a bonus that he extended his hands forward and gestured that the world was unfair.
I said with a mischievous laugh.
“Is that so? So, do you think I was just kidding?”
Did you think things would get serious?
Miyuki raised her index finger above my face, as if to comfort a fierce dog that had been in an accident.
“Matsuda-kun…! Calm down!”
“I’m going to calm down on this now…”
“Stop! Are you really angry?”
“…..”
Miyuki speaks firmly with a straight face.
I was full of dissatisfaction, but when I saw Miyuki, I forced myself to keep my mouth shut.
Seeing this, she let out a sigh of relief, then turned to her Tetsuya and pointed her finger outside her front door.
“Tetsuya-kun, go first. I’ll hear all about it later.”
“Miyuki, I…”
“So you’ll hear the reason later. Go first…!”
Miyuki’s voice rose considerably.
Tetsuya stumbled back and shook his head.
“Ah Okay.”
Tetsuya, who had been stepping back, quickly left the academy.
Miyuki, who had been watching Tetsuya walk away from her back several times, touched her forehead as he completely disappeared from sight.
Then he took me to the security office and began to persuade the security guard in a friendly voice.
“I… Mister. Did you see it?”
“Um… I saw it. I don’t know what happened.”
“Can’t you just take a look? All men are like that. Making immature wordplay with close friends, then getting angry and grabbing them by the collar…”
“Who is your best friend?”
At my sullen tone that interrupted the conversation, Miyuki shook her head pathetically and said,
“Look at this. Very childish.”
The guard burst into laughter.
“I get it. Don’t look up.”
If it was normal students who had just been arguing, the security guard would have ruthlessly contacted the Academic Affairs Department.
Even so, can you get over it with just a laugh?
It means that it was helpful that I became close to the security guard while doing volunteer work during volunteer time.
“Thank you very much… Matsuda-kun, say hello quickly.”
Miyuki urged me to grab my arm.
I gave the guard a reluctant, very sullen look.
“Thank you, mister.”
“OK. Should we be reconciled instead?”
“I can’t promise that… Uhhh… I get it.”
I was about to put my foot down, but when Miyuki pinched his waist very, very strongly, I changed his words in a hurry.
My hands are too hot. I’ll be sick
After politely cracking down on the guard, Miyuki grabbed him by the wrist and dragged me to the gym.
In that place, where the day was getting dark and the atmosphere was bleak, Miyuki, with her arms crossed tightly, fired at me.
“Matsuda-kun is an immature person who kicks out his fists when he gets angry. However…”
“Don’t make me sad.”
“Listen. But these days, Matsuda-kun doesn’t act like an idiot. Even though the other person had a contact accident that was all at fault, if the person who didn’t even get annoyed and just sent it away had a stabbing, I think there must be a reason… Is that right?”
“How did you know I wasn’t annoyed? I don’t remember saying it.”
“The vice principal came to the student council room and asked if Matsuda-kun was involved in club activities. Then I found out when I asked what was going on.”
Ahh… The good karma that comes back through good karma… The nostrils flare up naturally.
Orgasms are no joke. I think it’s possible to be a knight without firing.
This is why good people accumulate merit.
“Anyway, explain it once. Why are you pissed enough to hit Tetsuya-kun?”
After coming to my senses at Miyuki’s words, I smacked my lips in embarrassment.
“No… Do I have to say this…? It sounds like you’re telling me, so…”
“Now is not the time for that. Talk without hesitation.”
The way she lifts her ax eyes is subtly sexy.
“No what…”
Scratching the back of my head, I explained what had happened earlier.
From Tetsuya’s mention of coercion when the topic of ice cream came up, to whether Miyuki’s weakness was used as an excuse to threaten her, to saying that it was all a joke.
I didn’t give a long explanation with all kinds of rhetoric.
I just tried to speak in a simple, third-person perspective.
“…Did Tetsuya-kun really say that?”
As soon as I finished speaking her, her eyes widened and she asked back.
I exhaled from my heart, revealing my frustration, and weakly kicked a stone that was rolling around me.
“I thought you wouldn’t believe it.”
“Who doesn’t believe it? Believe me, I believe you.”
“Then why did you ask?”
“No… I just said it because I couldn’t believe what Tetsuya-kun I knew said. Well…”
Miyuki started stroking her chin with her index finger as if she had something to think about.
Miyuki in agony… So pretty.
Can’t we go to the gym now and play?
She looked up at me, who had been keeping her thick lips closed for a while.
“Okay. I understand that Matsuda-kun is angry.”
“Is that so?”
“Yes. But I think the violence was too much. Of course, from Matsuda-kun’s point of view, Tetsuya-kun made a mistake first, so he’s angry, but…”
Stumbling over this here is something only sewers do.
As long as Tetsuya was overcome with an inferiority complex, it was better for me to show my anger but hold it back.
Miyuki will definitely call Tetsuya for cross-validation.
At that time, he would have scored his own goal on his own, but there is no need to explain why I used violence.
I let out a sigh with her lips quivering, looked at Miyuki and nodded her head.
“I’ll apologize tomorrow while picking up Miura.”
At those words, Miyuki’s cold face softened considerably.
“Are you reflecting?”
“Not really.”
“Matsuda-kun.”
“No… To be honest, I can’t reflect right now, so what should I do? Still, I admit that I was wrong to use violence, so I sincerely apologize for that.”
“Are you going to reflect on that?”
“… I’ll try.”
“Yes. Let’s go back now.”
“Aren’t you mad? Then go to the gym for a minute…”
“I’m angry, and hearing that makes me want to get better.”
“I get it. Sorry.”
Quietly closing my mouth, I left the academy with Miyuki.
@@
“Are you leaving as soon as you get back?”
Mother’s voice from the kitchen.
Miyuki said, holding her mobile phone in her hand.
“Wait, I want to meet Tetsuya-kun.”
“Okay? It seems like we haven’t seen each other in a long time? Come before it is too late.”
“Okay.”
Putting on her sneakers and opening the front door, Miyuki headed for the small playground she and Tetsuya often met.
While he was sitting on the swing waiting for Tetsuya, he thought of Matsuda.
Back in the day… So not long after Matsuda saved her and started tutoring, I could see him sitting alone on a swing in this playground.
Maybe Matsuda was trying to meet Takashi Watanabe at the time?
‘Ha…’
It wasn’t this that mattered, it was the incident of the day.
Matsuda used to do that. Tetsuya is very insidious.
Come to think of it, it seems that Matsuda was uncomfortable with Tetsuya from then on… Have you ever heard something similar like today?
Miyuki, who was thinking about this and that,
Haha…”
He exhaled heavily and greeted Tetsuya, who ran to the playground.
“I’m here?”
“Yeah… I’m sorry. It’s a little late.”
“I just came too. Would you like to sit next to me?”
Tetsuya catches his breath and sits on the swing next to him.
Miyuki, who was staring at him blankly, asked.
“Why did Matsuda-kun hit Tetsuya-kun today?”
“Ah… How did that happen…”
The words of Tetsuya that followed were the same, only the point of view changed.
On the way to meet him at the front gate, the topic of ice cream came up, and in the part where Nanase-senpai, himself, and Matsuda were going to eat together, Tetsuya said that it was a joke and threatened.
It wasn’t much different from Matsuda’s explanation.
However, unlike Matsuda, who tried to explain as objectively as possible, is the difference that there is a hint of self-defense in Tetsuya’s words?
“…This is what happened… Did you hear from Matsuda?”
“Yes.”
“What did Matsuda say? Didn’t she just say something in her own favor? Distort the facts or…”
Miyuki frowned slightly.
It was because Tetsuya’s behavior of trying to put Matsuda down as soon as he finished his explanation didn’t look good.
“Not at all.”
“Okay…? I’m surprised Uh, it was a joke anyway.”
Looking at it now, it was clear that Tetsuya had made a mistake first.
Nevertheless, Matsuda stepped forward to apologize to Tetsuya first.
Of course, there was a feeling that he was forced to do it by looking at his own face, but he backed off anyway.
She even seemed willing to give Tetsuya a ride as usual, even right after her fight.
But what is Tetsuya’s reaction right now?
What a rush to make excuses for her.
Even considering that she was beaten, she looked a little… Narrow inside her.
Matsuda said that since she met herself, she has not really become nice, but has become docile.
Her swearing was not completely cured, but knowing that Miyuki herself hated physical violence, she never raised her fist.
Even so, can’t win enough to swing her fist?
It seemed that there was something festering besides today’s incident.
Is it because Tetsuya keeps closing the car door hard?
No, this won’t be
She complained, but Matsuda wasn’t petty enough to temper her temper with this.
‘I’ll have to ask Matsuda-kun about this.’
To ask Tetsuya directly, the reaction he was showing right now was unsatisfying.
Although he trusted Tetsuya, he felt that it would be more accurate to get an answer from Matsuda, who was trying to be objective today.
Matsuda says she seems to be talking behind her back, and she doesn’t want to talk about it, but…
Still, if you ask around, they’ll tell you.
By the way, the usual Tetsuya isn’t this kind of person… Did something happen around you by any chance?
Miyuki, who had been listening to the story while holding onto the swing rope and kicking the ground, spoke.
“Tetsuya-kun, are you worrying a lot these days?”
“Albatross…?”
“Yes. Is there anything wrong with you?”
“No. If something happened, I would have told you first. I know.”
“Yeah… It’s not like that. Then, going back, why did you say that to Matsuda-kun? Haven’t you ever thought about it?”
“No… You hate Matsuda. That…”
Miyuki shook his head and interrupted Tetsuya.
“I didn’t hate it, I hated it. Not at all now.”
“… Not at all?”
“Yes. I like Matsuda-kun now. But what does the dislike have to do with Tetsuya-kun saying that to Matsuda-kun… Ah!?”
Miyuki covered her mouth and let out her screams.
It was because Tetsuya, who had been sitting on the swing and listening to Miyuki’s words, suddenly fell backwards.
