Chapter 14: A maiden in love is too powerful.

“——Don’t you dare play innocent! You are the one who orchestrated all of this!”

“As I keep telling you! You keep saying that for a while now, don’t just pin this all on me without proof! And don’t you dare make me repeat again! Aaah?”

The angry shouts that I heard as soon as I rushed to the gymnasium. It was clear from the scene that was ahead of my eyes who those two wild voices belonged to.

While grabbing each other’s hair Hiiragi and Tachibana were shouting abusive words at each other. Both had lost their composure and seemed oblivious to their respective friends, who were desperately trying to calm them down.

I can understand why Machimura sought Ryougoku’s help here. It was a wise decision.

“What are you two doing here!?”

Without a single hesitation, Ryougoku ran towards them.

I guess I can let him handle the case of Hiiragi and Tachibana. Rather than that….

I turn my head and look around. In order to find the reason, the person who resides at the heart of the situation where these two ended up pulling each other’s hair; in order to find Katase.

…Where did she go?

Katase was nowhere in sight. Moreover, the gym teacher, who should be stopping this chaos, was also absent.

“—Scary, they’re really fighting.”

“Uwaaa… there’s really something dark about girl fights.”

“Yeap, totally that.”

The piggies, who had been working up their sweat in the illusion of youth, playing sports moments ago, began crowding around one after another, turning the audience into a rowdy group of onlookers.

“Rather, why in the first place are they even fighting?”

“Well, uh, hmm, That thing is …”

One of the guys asked a girl who seemed to have witnessed the whole thing.

Hoping to get some useful information, thinking that I tried eavesdropping carefully,

“Sorry, actually — even I don’t understand it quite well, when I came to know… it was already started — kind of.”

But learned nothing. Given from her hesitance, most probably she was likely one of those girls who are tied up by Tachibana’s orders.

“Oh, looks like it’s over.”

There came out a somewhat gleeful voice behind me, and I turned back to Hiiragi and Tachibana in reaction.

Because of Ryougoku’s sweet words, he had somehow managed to step between them and was speaking to them now, though I couldn’t hear what he was saying from here. It was clear that he was calming them down.

Or rather what is even Tachibana doing in the first place? Clinging to Ryougoku’s arm like that… Is she trying to garner sympathy by pretending to be scared? Hey, hey, that’s just plain creepy, and hideous.

In addition to the sheer abruptness of Tachibana’s change in demeanor was chilling, it also showcases the formidable strength of a maiden in love.

Apparently, that strength was enough to leave even the opponent she was fighting with moments ago stunned. The expression on Hiiragi’s face as she left the two of them at themselves and headed towards us spoke volumes about it.

“!?”

As soon as Hiiragi and I made eye contact, she gave me an apologetic look. But that was only for a moment, as she averted her eyes and walked past me.

I wanted to follow Hiiragi immediately and ask on what had happened earlier…, but let’s hold back.

The matter, which has finally come to light, was brought to a conclusion through the mediation of both countries with the help of Ryogoku’s intervention.

While I was somewhat relieved, the situation was still deteriorating even now. The fact that it had escalated to the point of physical violence was bad enough, but worse was the exposure of this issue between Katase and Tachibana.

Hopefully, this would make Tachibana back off…. But if things take a weird turn, there is a chance that it could escalate in the wrong direction afterwards.

….For now, I’ll wait until Hiiragi calms down. I need to know why things turned bad up to this point.
