The Girl sitting next to me is playing with my '--hing' though... - Chapter 31: Training (Also read as Breaking) Part 2

Training (Also read as Breaking) Part 2

“Get out of my way, Iori.”

“Just because you got a little serious, do you really think I’m going to move out of the way? Don’t take me for a fool.”

“I do think, you aren’t. I’m seriously thinking of making you move out of the way.”

I said that and showed her my fist with a cracking sound.

“Do — don’t tell me, you’re not thinking of forcing me to move away from your way with violence, are you?”

“……………………”

When I silently took a step forward, Iori also stepped back the same amount of steps.

“Sa, say something already! You are sca, scared, aren’t you?”

“……………………”

“So, Sotaro? This is a joke, isn’t it? For Sotaro to do something that cruel, as to hit someone, it’s absolutely a lie right?.”

Even though Iori’s eyes begin to wilt once again with tears, she still did not lower her outstretched hands even a bit.

Even though it’s effective, she is not willing to retreat huh? I guess there’s no point in continuing anymore huh.

[TL: seriously?????]

Looking at the fearful face and trembling Iori, I judged it better to stop intimidating her and get closer.

“Don’t tremble so openly, like that Iori, I’m not going to harm you or anything like that.”

“Ri–Right … Un, I always believed you in th—-NO, NOT, THAT! I- I- I- I was not at all scared absolutely GOt iT? You might think you’re being compassionate here right now, but that’s just plain annoying GOt iT! 　Don’t get carried away!”

Iori was swinging her hands around and hitting me with them. Maybe because she was suddenly released from the tension at once, she might not be able to control the strength of her arms, because of that, her throws gave a good deal of pain.

To get hurt by the same person who was afraid of violence just minutes ago ……, but I can’t just stay as a bystander and let her get away with it after all.

I saw that coming!

I grabbed Iori by her wrists and blocked her moves completely.

“I thought you said y—you wouldn’t do anything violent?”

“Oh sure, but then again, if Iori is so inclined to not leave her place at all, then you give me no choice. I’ll have to do something even worse that violence; get prepared Iori.”

“So–something even worse than violence … what are you going to do?”

“Now~ well~,…… what is it,……I wonder.”

When I smile fearlessly, Iori lets out a “Hiii” as her face turns pale.

“Wh-what are you going to do…”

“U~n? What I wonder?”

“I’m, I’m begging you, please tell …”

“Umm… tha~t is… you know … wait — what is it, Minamisawa?”

Minamisawa, who should have escaped from the stage, stood in front of me as if to protect Iori.

“Personally, I’m really interested in what Hayami-kun is going to do from now on, but you’re taking way too much time over here. From here on there’s still many preparation to be done before we proceed there…So, can you leave this to me for now?”

“Eh, you? Do you have a plan?”

“It’s not that great as a plan. But, I do promise to solve the matter as soon as possible. So please release Horikita-san from your grasp now?”

“O, oh..”

Well, if she’s going to go that far,

I let go of my hand binding Iori and distanced myself from her.

It seems that she already has the means to conciliate Iori here. Otherwise, I don’t think she would be able to volunteer with such a confident attitude like that right here.

I’m counting on you, Minamizawa!

I gave Minamizawa a wink to cheer her up. Noticing that, with a relaxed smile saying ‘Leave the rest to me,’ she turned towards Iori.

“――Now then, Horikita-san, I have a proposal for you, would you mind listening to it?”

“I–I don’t know what you will be talking about, but the matter on ground lever won’t change whether I do hear do not. As long as you two don’t cancel the graduation ceremony that you have decided on later today.”

“Then, can you just listen to me talking in a monologue?”

Saying that, Minamizawa brought her mouth closer to Iori’s ear.

“……………………”

“Haaah!? A—a, Wait, WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU SUDDENLY SUGGESTING HERE!”

“……………………”

“N-No it’s not like that! I—I’m not like that…interested in that at all …”

“……………………”

“It’s really different… I’m telling you… With that reason I’m not interfering you two over here…”

After a few minutes of such exchanges.

“Then, since we both will have a ton of preparations to make, so shall we go?”

“U….unn.”

“—Well then, Hayami-kun, with this we’ll  contact you once we are both ready.”

“Eh, ah, sure…”

Just what kind of magic did she use literally?

Minamisawa, who had performed what she had mentioned before just like an honor student, said that and went down the stairs along with Iori.

“…………Well, all’s well that ends well.”

As a result, the road to my graduation had opened up, so let’s just say it’s good thing overall.

By the way, the plan I was going to use was —- to expose my lower half to her and forcibly dismiss Iori, an extremely vulgar and deplorable act.

It’s a secret to everyone here ok?
