Chapter 6 – I’d Willingly Give You My First Time
The moment I arrived at the classroom, something felt strange.
Along with the gazes from around me, I could hear whispers of words like rape, underage drinking, theft, criminal, and person under surveillance.
It was normal for me to be treated like a nuisance by my classmates, but today it felt even worse.
What’s this? What on earth is going on?
I took out my smartphone and opened my LINE.
Sakurai Hinano.
I have no choice, times like these are the time to ask for her help.
I’ll leave aside the question of whether she’s reliable or not.
For now, I sent her a message saying I wanted to talk about the situation.
[Understood. I’ll use my connections to look into it!]
Hinano replied immediately.
She seemed very enthusiastic. I’m sure she can bring me some useful information by lunch break. …I think.
Lunch break.
The moment the bell rang, I left the classroom, bought some food at the cafeteria and headed to the deserted stairs landing leading to the rooftop.
When I arrived, I saw Hinano munching away at her lunch.
“Nom, nom! Mumble, mumble! Nom, nom!”
“Don’t talk while you’re eating. I won’t get what you’re talking about.”
“…Master, it seems like there are a lot of rumors circulating.”
“Rumors?”
“Stuff like how you transferred here because of violence, rape, underage drinking, and theft. Other labels include criminal and person under surveillance. From what I’ve found, it all seems to be coming from that Kuzushima-senpai. Isn’t it because of what happened yesterday?”
I see. Kuzushima is definitely the kind of character who would do this kind of thing.
He’s proud, and he uses others to corner people he doesn’t like. A despicable jerk through and through.
Come to think of it, I feel like there was a similar development in the game, depending on the route.
“Am I the only target? What about rumors about Sasaki or Tsukishima?”
“So far, it seems the rumors are only about you, Master.”
“I see…”
…Huh?
“Wait, what’s with you… Why are you suddenly so competent?”
“Eh? Why are you dissing me right now?”
No way… the Sakurai Hinano I know only gives out useless information with a smug look on her face.
“We can do something about rumors like this, what do you want to do?”
As Hinano said, if we use the power of the Ishibashi family, it should be possible to deal with rumors like this.
However…
“Don’t do anything. If we try to do something about it immediately, Kuzushima won’t leave it at that. He’d probably switch targets to Sasaki or Tsukishima. Staying quiet and letting him have his way is the best way to protect them both.”
Besides, if rumors like that spread, Reika will surely stop bothering me.
“……”
Hinano, who had been eating her lunch just a moment ago, stopped eating with her chopsticks and stared at me with a look of genuine surprise on her face.
“What…”
“Wow… Was Master the kind of guy who would say such cool things?”
“Shut up.”
“Hmm~ Isn’t it fine? I quite like the current Master.”
“Is that so? Thank you very much.”
“What’s with that plain reaction?! You should be more pleased!”
Hinano looked at me intently and then took out her smartphone.
As I stared at her, wondering what she was doing, she noticed my gaze and made a smug face.
“I usually eat lunch with my friends, but since I came here without saying anything, they’ve been messaging me nonstop.”
Ah, I see. That makes sense. Most people usually eat lunch with their usual group.
Right, of course. She’s cute and popular, after all.
…What is this overwhelming sense of defeat?
“What is it? Oh, and just so you know, no matter what happens, I’m never introducing my precious friends to you.”
Hinano looked at me with a clearly wary look in her eyes. This is definitely a bad misunderstanding.
“Fine, fine. Here, take this… okay?”
“Eh?! This is our school’s most popular premium fresh cream bun! It always sells out in an instant!! Ugh… find, I’ll introduce you to Miyu-chan…”
It seems that to Hinano, a precious friend (Miyu-chan) is as important as a cream bun (400 yen).
I spent my lunch break with Hinano while thinking about Miyu-chan, whom I have yet to meet.
Then, after school,
It seems rumors about me have spread throughout the school, and I can hear people whispering when I pass them in the hallway.
Kuzushima must be satisfied by now.
Well, I just have to bear it, it’s not that big of a deal…
“Tsu-kun.”
I heard Reika’s voice from behind me, but it was probably just my imagination.
Also, it seems like my nickname has upgraded (in a bad way) from “Isshii” to “Tsu-kun”, but that’s probably just me overthinking things.
Probably.
“……”
“Tsu-kun.”
“……”
“Tsu-kun!!”
“Ouch!”
This girl… She hit me with her bag!
I had no choice but to stop and turn around, and saw Reika looking angry.
“…What is it?”
“Where did you go during lunch? I was looking for you the whole break, and I missed my own lunch!”
“We never promised to eat together.”
“…Huh.”
Reika gave me a look that said, You just don’t get it, do you?
“You see, we’re best friends. If we’re best friends, it’s natural to have lunch together even if we don’t schedule it. If one of us has something to do, it’s normal to contact each other.”
Somehow… I’ve been promoted to her best friend…!
“Well, whatever. It’s in the past now, so I’ll forgive you. I’m not heartless. As an apology, though, you’re treating me to a crepe on the way home.”
Excuse me, could you not just decide that on your own?
No, more importantly…
“…Haven’t you heard?”
“Heard what?”
“I’m talking about the rumors about me.”
“Oh, yeah, they’re all over the place. So what?”
What do you mean, “So what?”…
“Anyone who hears rumors like that would usually stay away.”
“It’s probably a lie anyway, isn’t it? I don’t believe it.”
“…What if it’s true?”
To be honest, I don’t even know myself whether these rumors are true or not. The game never delved into Ishibashi’s past.
“It’s not true.”
“What’s your basis for that?”
“The Ishibashi I’ve seen up until now isn’t the kind of person who would do something like that.”
“…What if the me you’ve seen was just putting on an act to trick you and force myself on you?”
“In that case, I’d willingly give you my first time.”
Those words weren’t a joke, they were serious.
That’s why I couldn’t help but look up at the ceiling.
It’s not about logic. That’s why, no matter what I say, it’s pointless to argue further.
“…Do whatever you want.”
“Yeah. I will.”
As the murmurs of the crowd surrounded us, the two of us walked side by side.
