Lonely Me And The Lonely Caring Goddess - Chapter 131 - Past (2)
I Reincarnated As A Trash Prince
Chapter 131 – Past (2)
“Sorry for keeping you this late.”
“Nah, I was going to do it sooner or later too.”
It got late as I was doing research in the library.
Yuji and I were walking in a deserted hallway.
The special classes room was in the building that housed the library, so after school hours, the area became deserted and quiet.
As we passed by an unused classroom, we heard raucous laughter from inside.
The area was quiet already that the voices echoed even more.
Well, it was none of our business, so we tried to pass them by, but…
“What a girl, that Sasagawa!”
?
Sasagawa…?
Yuji and I made eye contact as we approached the door to eavesdrop.
“Oi! Your voice is too loud!”
This voice… it’s Yamazaki! Then it’s probably about Yuzuha.
“My bad. But what’s now? That gal is serious about you, Yama-chan. Do you plan to keep her around?”
“She’s got the looks. However, in reality, she’s just acting—a pushover on the inside. The last time we went on a date, I could hardly contain my laughter thinking that I was serious about her as my girlfriend.”
“Hey, hey! How many girls do you plan to keep? Send one over here!”
What are these guys talking about?
Keep? Mistress?
Don’t tell me they are playing around with Yuzuha’s feelings.
Looking at Yuji’s grim looks, it’s safe to say that we arrived at the same conclusion.
“Will Sasagawa do? Once I get bored with her, I’ll send her here. Then you guys can…”
*Slide*
“Eh?”
*Punch*
“Guahh!”
*Falls down*.
I opened the door, approached Yamazaki, and punched him with all my might, knocking the desks over.
“Damn you!!! Takanashi! What the f**k…”
Yamazaki’s words stopped there.
I was on top of him, holding Yamazaki by the collar.
“What were you about to do to Yuzuha…? I heard everything.”
*Punch, Slam, Slam*.
The other guy tried to help and ran with all his might, but Yuji tripped him head-first on the floor.
“Hey, hey! Watch your step!”
I’ll leave my back to Yuji.
As for this guy, I’ll take care of him myself.
“Do you think Yuzuha was an easy girl? Was she that easy to get?”
“Yeah. That naive girl was an easy pickup. I’ll thoroughly play with her on my spare time… Guahh!”
I punched him for the second time, silencing Yamazaki.
I know that Yuzuha was a naive girl. It was also the reason why her peers easily influenced her.
However, she must not be fooled by trash like him.
Yuzuha was a cute, mature, and, at the same time, spoiled girl. The people around her just influenced her.
I believe that one day, she’ll go back to the way she was.
“I’ll deform that proud face of yours.”
“You guys! What do you think you are doing?”
It looked like someone reported to us and contacted the teachers.
Ugh, this is going to be trouble.
Sensei took us straight to the staff room, except for Yamazaki, who was first brought to the infirmary.
I thought I would be disciplined harshly, but since it was my first offense, I got away with just preaching.
Yuji tried to stop me, so he’ll probably escape that.
——————————————
The following day in class, an unusual atmosphere greeted me.
An awkward atmosphere enveloped me as soon as I entered.
Yamazaki was already inside, but he was silent.
I assumed he would not be here, like going on a business trip with his parents. Our eyes met, and he turned away.
Yuji and I heard their conversation about him having multiple women, so he might be afraid of being exposed.
“Good morning.”
I took my seat and greeted my friend next to me.
“Ah, good morning.”
I got a whispered greeting as a reply.
What was this situation?
The reason was the incident yesterday.
“Aah! The psycho who beats people up because of jealousy.”
A voice echoed inside the quiet classroom.
I don’t know who, but based on the voice, it was a girl.
But starting from that, the girls raised their voices one by one.
“Beating down people because he is not popular.”
“What kind of person is he, monopolizing her just because she was a childhood friend?”
“I pity Yuzuha.”
“Hey, Yuzuha, tell it to him directly.”
Yesterday’s incident about me punching Yamazaki was known already.
Moreover, it was treated like I punched him out of jealousy.
It’s a garbage story, but it wasn’t easy to refute.
Many people know that I deeply care about Yuzuha. Also, it’s probably not convincing of me to say that I punched Yamazaki because he was toying with her.
Also, even if I told them that Yuzuha was considered a plaything for Yamazaki, it would be too far-fetched for them to believe me. There’s also a possibility that she would be treated worse afterward.
I don’t care about Yamazaki, but I don’t want Yuzuha to be labeled as a naive girl in public.
Yuzuha, unaware of my predicaments, approached me as if her peers encouraged her.
“I told you not to get close to me, right? Beating up Yamazaki out of jealousy was disgusting. I refuse to be near with a piece of trash like you.”
Yuzuha mocked me, unknown to her what kind of position I was in.
Maybe I should tell her everything…
Yuzuha, who had a triumphant look, turned back to the girls who encouraged her.
“What? Is she secretly following Yuzuha?”
“She told him not to approach her, right?”
“Wow! Isn’t he a stalker, then?”
“Yuzuha is being stalked?”
“Th-that’s right! He must have been stalking Yuzuha for a long time!”
Was I labeled a stalker?
You guys were more of a stalker since you won’t leave me alone.
After that, I tried talking with Yuzuha, but as expected, it did not turn out well.
Yuzuha already has a terrible impression of me, and that’s why all my actions were labeled because of my jealousy of Yamazaki.
Furthermore, Yuzuha calls me a stalker whenever I open my mouth, like a child that knows nothing but foul words.
At this time, I had underestimated how powerful these malicious rumors were.
