Chapter 30: Fiancee

　I rush over to Sensei.

“Sensei!”

“Yagami-kun……!”

　Sakurako-sensei has a poker face, but she is indeed surprised.

” Why is Sensei here?

“Because——“

“It’s because I invited her, Yagami-kun.”

　A voice called out from right behind me.

　I turned around slowly.

“You are…….”

　This is Ryoichi Saotome, the jiu-jitsu practitioner who broke down the kickboxer earlier.

“Nice to meet you. I’m Ryoichi Saotome, Sakurako-san’s fiancé.”

“Fiancé ……?”

　I thought Shino told me that the Sensei’s marriage proposal was broken off?　　Are you saying that another story has come to me?

　But is it safe to marry this guy?　No matter how you look at it, he doesn’t seem like a decent person.

“I was dumped once, but thanks to you, I was able to get back together. I’ll thank you. –Here, take this. This is today’s fight money.”

　Ryoichi Saotome handed me an envelope. It probably contains several hundred thousand yen.

　In other words, Sensei and this guy’s marriage had broken up once, but because of something I did, they ended up getting engaged.

“……-sensei, what the hell is going on?”

　Sakurako-sensei became embarrassed and shut down.

“Yagami-kun. Did you know that Sakurako-san’s father covered up your suspension from school?”

“Yes, I heard that she asked him to do so.”

“Umu. At that time, Sakurako-san was given a condition. –To be frank, it’s an engagement to me.”

　What the hell?　You’re going to marry someone you don’t like just to avoid my suspension?

” Sensei!　It’s nothing to get suspended from school!　It’s not worth it at all!”

“You don’t understand, Yagami. That Kito-kun you hit, his family is quite wealthy.　They even have a relationship with my family. They also donated a lot of money to the school. Do you know what this means?”

　So …… Kito could have asked his parents to cover up his own suspension and expel me from school. ……

　The fact that he destroyed it means that his father must have accumulated a considerable amount of money or owed someone a great deal of money.

“Sensei,……, I’m sorry……!　For my sake……!”

“No, it’s okay. …… It was my fault.”

　It hurts. …… I can’t believe this is happening to Sensei because of me…….!

“That’s why. I’m really grateful to you. I’ve been meaning to thank you sometime, but I’m glad you came to here.”

　I stared at Ryoichi Saotome in silence.

” You don’t have very good eyes. …… You’re a boxer too, so you know what I’m talking about.　You know what happens when you intimidate a martial artist. ……”

“Ryoichi-san, stop.”

　Saotome laughs, “Futsu”.

“I’m just kidding, Sakurako-san. –By the way, how did you like my fighting style?　Didn’t you get excited at your first sight?”

“It sucked.”

　Saotome laughed again, “Fufutsu”.

“I’m sorry to hear that. But in time, you will feel so excited that you can’t help but tingle. I promise you that.”

　This guy is really creepy.

　He is a narcissist and a douchebag, and I can see why the teacher turned down the match.

“Well, let’s go, shall we? I’ve reserved a hotel suite for us.”

　Ryoichi Saotome extended his hand to Sensei.

　What ……?　A hotel……?

　Something dark swirled in the bottom of my heart.

　I thrust back the envelope containing the money to Saotome.

“Oya……?　What is the meaning of this?”

“I won’t allow the Sensei to be yours.”

“Fuun ……, your male gelatinousness is disgusting, Yagami-kun.”

“You got it wrong!　I just can’t stand her father and your cowardly ways!”

　I’ll be honest with you. Saotome is right.

　I thought that the anger that arose in my heart came from a sense of justice.

　But this feeling is more like jealousy or possessiveness. In short, I don’t want Sensei to be taken by another man.

　I was surprised because I didn’t think I had the personality to be obsessed with one woman.

“Don’t get carried away, kid. …… I am the man who will take over the Saotome Clinic. It’s not something that a commoner like you should be able to talk about easily.”

“I understand. Then lets be silent. because I don’t need words to stop you.”

　Saotome laughed with his stomach.

” No way, you think you can stop me with all your might?　Hahaha!　Hilarious!　Very amusing!”

“Yes, I’ll do it”.

“Yagami-kun!　No!”

“Yagami, don’t do this!　You haven’t been with us for more than a month!”

　Listening to Sakoda-san, Saotome laughed even harder.

“Hahahahaha!　What the hell is that?　It’s like a hair sprouting on an amateur!　Hahahahaha!　It’s a masterpiece!　Yagami, you’re going to make a good comedian!”

“……Oya, so you’re running away?”

　Saotome stops laughing immediately and shows a cruel expression.

“…… Alright fine. I’ll deal with you if that’s what you want.”

“Ryoichi-san, Yagami-kun, stop!”

　Sakurako-sensei steps in between us with a sad expression on her face.

{1 (Take the Money and leave without saying a word.)}

{2 (Ask Ryoichi Saotome to behave like a gentleman before leaving.)

WHA?　Why isn’t there an option to fight!　Don’t fuck with me!

　What’s youth, what’s love, if I just go home quietly like this!

　I’ll ignore the options!　I’m ready for disaster!　Come at me!

“Let’s go check out the competition!”

“Umu. Be prepared for anything, okay?”

“Yagami-kun!”

“Excuse me, sensei. I can’t leave you here.”

　It’s hard to believe that this is coming from a peace-loving, super-hypochondriac like me.

　Something is beginning to change in me.

　This is how I ended up fighting the surgeon and jiu-jitsu practitioner, Ryoichi Saotome.
