Insensitive Bocchi-kun ~Reluctantly Heading to School Today~ [Dropped] - Chapter 34: Zoo ③

Chapter 34: Zoo ③

“U-um, hello.”

Saying that, Tanaka-kun, a classmate who had fallen from the stairs earlier, approached us with a flustered expression and opened his mouth.

“P-please continue…”

C-continue what?

I haven’t done anything different to her yet.

And I don’t intend to either.

Moreover… why did he suddenly fall from the stairs?

There’s no one around him…?

Well, never mind me, why’s he alone too…?

What happened to the other group members?

“Are you okay…?”

I offered my words of concern to him, just in case.

“I-I’m fine, I’m fine… Please continue.”

B-But what should I continue?

He’s so persistent…

“Y-you’re Mamiya-kun, right?”

“Yeah… that’s true.”

He can recognise me!

This is getting dangerous as it is.

“For now, I’ll go on ahead. T-take your time. And don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone.”

Huh?

Saying that, he dashed up the stairs from which he had fallen at full speed.

What was that…?

“Well, Mamiya-kun, looks like we’ve been found out…”

“Yeah… well…”

Silence once again fell between the two of us.

“It’s about time, and things are looking bad. Shall we go back to our respective groups?”

“Yeah… I think that’s a good idea.”

If we stay together any longer and someone like Tanaka-kun figures out that I’m Kento Mamiya, the hate towards me will really become something dangerous.

It’s no longer just a school trip.

And it would cause trouble for her too.

Well, I won’t go back to my group.

“See you later. Mamiya-kun. I-I had so much fun. Really.”

Saying that, she quietly climbed up the stairs that Tanaka-kun had dashed up.

For some reason, her cheeks were incredibly red…

Sigh…

As she disappeared from view… my rapidly beating heart finally started to calm down.

And finally, I was able to take a deep breath and… I collapsed to the ground as if my legs gave out.

My head is spinning…

What would have happened if Tanaka-kun hadn’t fallen?

Even thinking about it now makes my heart go crazy.

What was that really…?

Why does she…?

Had fun? Don’t lie.

There’s no way it’s fun being with me…

What is she really?

Is she truly a devil…?

Her smile won’t leave my mind.

What is she… really?

My whole body feels hot…

And for a while, it seems like my brain won’t function properly…
