“Hiro, let’s go home. Also invite Ryoko. I want to eat something sweet.”

“Do you have amnesia or something?”

After school, As  I was getting ready to leave, I heard a voice behind me. It was Tomomi’s.

“Hiro, is it a date?”

“You idiot! Keep your voice down!”

Don’t say it out loud. It’s gonna be a pain if someone hears it. 

“What? Hiroyuki you’re going on a date?”

Look at that!  

The love zombies heard the word “date” and swarmed around us…

“Fujita? What’s wrong? What’s with that face?”

The face that was glistening and shining during the first period of physical education has not a shred of life in it. What’s wrong, Fujita?

“……f…… laugh at me, Hiroyuki. Poor me.”

“Laugh at you? Wait, did you..”

“Don’t say it! Don’t say another word! It’s a samurai’s mercy!” (T/N: Samurai’s mercy represents “the favor that a warrior bestows on those weaker than himself.”)

“….”

Alright, I won’t ask you anything.

“Why? She said, ‘I mean, who even are you?” (T/N: Sheeesh)(E/N:  Anotha fallen comrade.)

“And here you told me not to ask for details…”

“We even talked the other day. It was love at first sight y’know! “

“…”

Hmm. You are sounding a bit more like a stalker. 

“Compared to me, you have already got a date…

“No, it’s not what it looks like..”

“Why are you using that pseudo-Kansai dialect! What is it? You got a date? Who are you going with? ! Spit it out!”

“Hey, stop it! Stop shaking me!”

It will be sold out! The mackerel stew set meal I was planning on having for lunch will be sold out!(E/N: Man got some proper priorities.) 

“Okay, okay! I’ll tell you! I’ll tell you, so stop it!”

“Come on, say it! Where are you going? Who are you going with? Suzuki? Kamo? Tsk. either way, you’ve got a beautiful girl ( bishoujo)  to go with!!”

“Aww a beautiful girl…?.”

“Stop blushing, Tomomi.”

Tomomi puts her hand on her cheek and shakes her body in a small ‘yan-yan’ motion at Fujita’s words. 

Seeing a tall woman do that, to put it simply, is disgusting. (T/N: wheeze )

“It’s really not s**y. Uh, …… well, I’m just running some errands for the family business, you know? I’m supposed to make a quick stop after this.”

“Family business?”

“My dad and the other guy’s dad are close. I just have a favor to do for him.”

My dad and Kiryu’s dad are close… or not, well, they aren’t strangers to each other, and they’re also not wrong with what they decided, as they say, a relationship tied by money is harder than anything else. So It’s not wrong to consider Kiryu’s father asking me to ‘see his new house’ as a favor.

“Hiro”

“What?! I’m not lying, you know?”

“You aren’t, but you’re being sneaky.”

“What do you even mean by sneaky?!”

I then quietly talked with Tomomi so that Fujita wouldn’t hear us. Fujita stared at us with disturbed eyes and let out a sigh. 

“Ahh, Hiroyuki that’s enough..”

“What do you mean?”

“I’m just saying you don’t have to get all gung-ho now. You have two cute childhood friends, Suzuki and Kamo and I envy you…”

“You envy me? Is that so…”

“Of course I do! You are extravagant to begin with, you know! If it were me, I wouldn’t leave Suzuki and Kamo behind and go out with other women.”

“Ehehehe, you think so Fujita?”

“ Yes! Therefore Suzuki, you and I could…”

“Ah, no way.”

“Well that was quick, don’t you think?”

“I don’t mind if it’s with anyone else, but not with you, Fujita. I don’t want to be misunderstood, you know?”

“.K*k~..I’m jealous of you, Hiroyuki!”

“What do you want me to do about it?”

It’s not like I wanted to be childhood friends with her. Come on, Fujita. There’s nothing to cry about.

“Okay… Anyway, who’s the girl?”

“Do I have the right to remain silent?”

“Nope”

Haaa….

“Kiryu.”

“What?”

“It’s Kiryu. Ayane Kiryu. Don’t you know her?”

He was leading up to this conclusion anyway. If that’s the case, he will find out sooner or later, so it will be more trouble than it’s worth if I try to hide things from him.

Fujita was still staring at me even after I answered.  

What? Why? 

“Why are you looking at me with such pity?”

“I mean it’s Kiryu. The “Villainess”. “

“Well…”

“The one who has a great face, great style, great brains, great athleticism, but has a devastatingly bad personality and mouth, that Ayane?”

“Well, you’re not wrong, she is pretty famous after all.”

I also knew her as “ The Kiryu, who has a really nice face but a really bad personality.”

“Don’t you know? Once a freshman confessed to her and she replied “Have you looked in the mirror? I mean, how could you confess to me with a face like that? What? A man is not his face? Is that so? That’s true. But you know what? Do you even have something to be proud of? Money? Athletic ability? Your brains?” “

“..”

“I heard that she even asked some studious girls something like this, “Do you even know what you’re doing? Do you really study hard? Anyone should be able to solve these problems.“ 

“…”

“Then there’s… Oh yeah! That story I heard about the girls on the volleyball team. It looks like she showed up out of nowhere during practice and said “”Ora, ora , ora! Why don’t you at least try and take this? Ahahaahahaha!”. She hit them with spikes so hard that two members even left the volleyball team! (T/N: Spike is like when you smash the ball to the other court from typically close to the net. )

Fujita, probably getting excited, speaks very loudly.

“You and Kiryu are going out together. Pfft… What’s with that punishment game? Aha-ha-ha! Hiroyuki, you poor guy! You’re going to break my heart.”

Fujita said happily, really happily. He looked so happy that I thought “Why am I even friends with this guy?”. However, I guess I’ll forgive you… 

“Sounds like an interesting conversation. What’s it about? Mind if I join you?”

Because that happy face is going to be stained with despair anyway.

“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!  Yes, join in! Join in!’

“Oh?  Is it alright though? The “villainess,” joining in a discussion of her own rumors?

“Ki-ki-ki-ki-kiryu-san! No, no, this is, uh, not what you…”

Fujita was in a complete panic. 

After I caught a glimpse of Fujita, Kiryu turned her gaze to me.

“Sorry to keep you waiting”

“I wasn’t really waiting for you.”

“Really? Let’s go. Then… Suzuki-san, was it? Good-bye”

“Oh you know my name?”

“You’re pretty famous.”

“Nah, not so much. Not as famous as you Kiryu-san.”

“ “Villainess” was it?”

“Th-that’s not what I meant!”

“I was joking. See you later. “

Then she gave a small wave to Tomomi and motioned to me with just her eyes, ‘Ora, let’s go”

“Ah, yes. Fujita-kun, was it ? I’ll remember you.”

Scary. 

Also Fujita, you’re just blowing bubbles right? (T/N: No way this dude just got a seizure)
