After My Girlfriend Dumped Me and I Got Fired From My Job, I Was Picked up by a Yandere Blonde High School Girl With Big Breasts

I Somehow Managed to Drive Away the Terrifying Insect

A hornet suddenly appeared in the classroom of class 2-B.

Yellow and black stripes. A color and appearance that embodied the word “danger” itself. No doubt about it, it was a bee, a hornet!

I glanced toward the window, and it was slightly open. If the window was open, insects could get in, but among them, the worst and most terrifying one had entered.

It had a fiercely poisonous stinger, and getting stung could even lead to death. It might be the insect that posed the greatest threat to humanity, that hornet.

For one to enter a girls’ school classroom… This was basically a biohazard.

“Kyaaaaaaaah!!!!!!”

The screams of the female students echoed through the classroom. The students who had been sitting during self-study all panicked.

Desks and chairs clattered and crashed over. Students ran around inside the classroom. Things had really turned into a huge mess.

“Gyaaaaaaaah!!!!!! Waaaaaaaah!!!!!!”

Just moments ago, Horinochi-san had been so bold and full of bravado, but now she freaked out completely, screaming and running around in a frenzy. Actually, Horinochi-san was the one in this class who fell into the most panic, making the biggest fuss and yelling the loudest.

I was not that bad with bugs. If anything, I thought I was good with them. Back in elementary school, I raised beetles for a science project, and I could touch cicadas or grasshoppers.

But even so, a hornet was… I was honestly scared. It was so scary that I froze in place and could not move.

Wait, Kaede-chan…!

Kaede-chan was the student council president of this school, and even in this class, she was a leader-like figure. She was a reliable and reassuring girl who had saved me when I was in a pinch.

Maybe Kaede-chan could handle the hornet somehow…! It was really pathetic as a guy, but deep in my heart, there was this expectation and hope that if it was Kaede-chan, she would surely manage it somehow.

Where was Kaede-chan!? She had been talking with Horinochi-san just moments ago…

“Uh, uuuuh~…!”

“! Kaede-chan…!?”

Kaede-chan was right nearby. She was at my feet.

Kaede-chan hugged her head, crouched down, and curled up into a ball.

She was scared. She was trembling. Seeing Kaede-chan like that made my heart ache with a sharp stab.

“Uu, it’s scary… It’s scary, Ryoma…!”

“Kaede-chan…!”

Why did I always rely on Kaede-chan? Even now, at this point, I was about to rely on her again—was I an idiot? Was I even a man? Kaede-chan had trusted me and entrusted me with watching over this classroom. Did I think it was okay to have her protect me?

Kaede-chan had saved me. She had given me a place to live, a job. There was no way I could just keep receiving; this time, it was my turn… It was my turn to help Kaede-chan.

I would protect Kaede-chan.

“It’s okay, Kaede-chan! I’m here with you! I’ll handle it somehow! So it’s okay!!”

“—…Ryoma…!”

The eyes that Kaede-chan turned toward me reflected sadness and fragility. Her eyes welled up with tears because the hornet scared her so much. I wanted to remove her anxiety right away.

I said it. I really said it. Now, I had no choice but to handle it somehow. Backing out with “I can’t do it after all, sorry” was not allowed anymore.

Terror and pressure weighed down on me heavily, but I overflowed with motivation and determination to show a good side to Kaede-chan. I had always been pathetic and uncool, but I would make up for it here.

I faced off against the hornet that was flying around.

It was still scary, but the fear of Kaede-chan losing interest in me was far worse.

“Guh, it’s just a bug in the end; I’ll kill it…!”

While most students ran around in panic, there was one student who bravely tried to stand up to the hornet.

It was a quiet-looking female student wearing glasses. Wow, she looked timid, but she had real courage.

Wait, did that girl just say “I’ll kill it”? The glasses girl picked up a chair and tried to attack the hornet with it.

“Ah, hey, wait, stop that!”

I grabbed the chair to stop her.

“But if I don’t kill it quick, someone might get stung…”

“Stop trying to kill it. If you stimulate it carelessly, it might call its friends!”

I had read about it in a book. When you kill a hornet, it releases something like a pheromone that could attract more hornets. Instead of killing it, chase it away. No, more than chasing it away, the best was to guide it back out the way it came in through the window.

“Everyone, evacuate to the hallway!”

The top priority was getting the students to safety. The students all quickly left the classroom.

However, Kaede-chan stayed crouched in place and could not move. The hornet must have terrified her that much; she flinched and trembled every time the buzzing wing sound reached her.

It’s okay; I would stay in the classroom too and protect Kaede-chan. In the worst case, I was prepared to shield her. I would position myself so I could become her shield anytime.

The hornet and I made eye contact. Was it provoking me? It deliberately flew around near us.

I had to handle this quickly. How should I chase it away…

I observed carefully with utmost caution, and the hornet flew around the fluorescent lights on the ceiling a lot, even bumping into them.

Right, bugs have a habit of gathering toward light. I hurriedly turned off all the lights in the classroom.

Then I closed the curtains on the windows too. But I left the curtains open only on the part where the window was open. Now, only the open window area had light.

This way, I could guide it to the open window and drive it outside. I prayed strongly for it to go outside quickly.

But it would not go out easily. Even after I darkened the classroom, it loitered around uselessly. I knew bugs’ actions were unpredictable and they would not move conveniently for humans so simply, but the frustration was immense.

I thought of the next move.

I had read in a book that black color attracts hornets easily.

Kaede-chan had blonde hair, and I had black hair. I might be more likely to get targeted.

In other words, that was convenient for protecting Kaede-chan.

Kaede-chan’s safety came first above all. I slowly moved away from Kaede-chan. Though I was scared to death, I cautiously took a pose that might provoke the hornet.

Buzzz…

Oh, it came this way. Good, come over here.

By making myself the decoy, I succeeded in drawing the hornet away from Kaede-chan.

Then I slowly approached the open window.

The hornet followed. I gradually got closer to the window.

I succeeded in luring the hornet all the way to the open window.

Now, all that was left was to pray that it would go outside through the window.

The tension was intense. Just the hornet wandering near the window made my heart feel like it would turn to ice.

Quickly, please go outside…!

—Buzzz…

I did not know how many minutes I prayed, but finally, the hornet went out the window.

The moment it went outside, I slammed the window shut with force and locked it.

“Fuuu~…”

Somehow, somehow I drove it away… I let out a sigh of relief, and the tension that had built up released, making my legs feel like they would give out.

Waaah!

Clap clap clap…!!

!? What!?

The students who had evacuated to the hallway came back into the classroom, and everyone applauded loudly.

Me? Were they applauding for me?

“H-Hey, old man…”

“Horinochi-san…?”

Horinochi-san approached me. The super aggressive attitude she had toward me just moments ago seemed like a lie; now she looked somewhat meek. Her messy green hair even seemed flatter somehow. Ah, not her chest, her hair.

“Old man… No, Yasumura…

I misunderstood you. You’re the kind of guy who tries that hard for the students. That… Sorry for everything until now.”

Horinochi-san said that and lowered her head.

Huh? Did she just soften up? She called me by name for the first time too. The hornet was super scary, but did this mean Horinochi-san would not try to take my life anymore? That was quite good news; good, good.

Wait, is Kaede-chan okay!? She seemed the most scared…

The moment I looked toward Kaede-chan, she came running toward me.

“Ryoma!”

Squeeze.

“Whoa!?”

Kaede-chan hugged me with incredible force. I was wobbly because my legs felt like giving out, but I somehow supported her body.

The soft sensation of Kaede-chan’s breasts squished directly against my body, and all signals rushed straight to my crotch.

“Thank you, Ryoma!”

Kiss.

“!!!!!!”

And then, the soft feel of Kaede-chan’s lips on my cheek…

Kaede-chan hugged me and gave me a soft kiss.
