The Scariest Delinquent Girl In The Entire School, Rumored To Be Terrifying, Ended Up Sitting Next To Me. I Thought My School Life Was Over, But It Turns Out She's Actually An Incredibly Sweet Person. On Top Of That, She's A Stunning Beauty With Blonde Hair, Blue Eyes, And A Curvaceous Figure—A Triple Threat! - Chapter 6: Classroom Incident.

Classroom Incident.

Today, during morning homeroom, we were supposed to assign roles for each class committee.

However…

“Tachibana is absent? No, is she late?”

The teacher, who was sitting on a folding chair, asked.

“Probably the latter,” the class president, wearing glasses and looking very serious, responded with a slightly annoyed tone.

“Well, it can’t be helped. If she doesn’t show up, I’m sorry, but we’ll have to assign her to one of the leftover roles.”

“Teacher, you’re saying that so casually. But no one wants to be in the same role as Tachibana, right? She always intimidates everyone, and to be honest, the atmosphere in this class is bad because of her.”

“Hey, class president. You’re really being straightforward,” shouted Hidehiko from the seat in front.

“Well, isn’t it true? Even Kuroda-kun, who’s sitting next to her, has been turned into her lackey.”

As the class president spoke, everyone’s eyes turned to me.

Then, they all started giggling.

“Well, that’s…”

I was about to protest when the classroom door suddenly opened with a creak.

“…Sorry I’m late.”

When Haruka appeared, the classroom fell silent.

“…Tachibana-san. After being late, how can you enter so confidently through the front door?”

The class president spoke with a sharp tone, but…

“Hey, class president, stop it. You’ll get punched.”

Once again, Hidehiko spoke up.

“Todo-kun, please be quiet. Hey, Tachibana-san, you know, right? How much of a nuisance your presence is?”

Perhaps because of her serious nature, the class president had been holding in her frustration for a long time.

She took a confrontational stance against Haruka, who was feared as the most notorious delinquent in the grade.

Haruka said nothing and simply stared at the class president.

“Everyone thinks the same, right?”

When the class president directed her question toward us, everyone, though slightly flinching, murmured their thoughts.

“…Well, yeah.”

“…The atmosphere is kind of bad.”

“…It’s kind of scary.”

They all voiced their dissatisfaction with Haruka.

“Hey, everyone. Don’t you think you’re going a little too far?”

Unable to hold back, I stood up from my seat and raised my voice.

“Hey, Kuroda. Just because you’re her lackey, don’t defend her.”

“That’s not it, I’m not like that…”

At that moment, I suddenly realized something.

Haruka, standing there with a calm and indifferent expression, looked as if she was unaffected.

But her fingertips were trembling ever so slightly.

I knew.

I knew that she was actually a really good person.

Even though she was still in high school, she lived alone, separated from her parents.

She balanced her studies with household chores, and though she was often late because of it…

What others saw as her “delinquent” appearance was, in reality, the weapon that made her so strong and admirable.

“…What do you guys know about her?”

When I spoke in a voice that trembled slightly, the room became restless again.

I moved toward the front of the class.

“Hey, Yukio?”

Hidehiko called out to me with concern, but I ignored him and kept walking.

I stood in front of Haruka.

“Yukio…”

I looked into her anxious eyes and tightly held her trembling hand.

“Everyone is misunderstanding. Tachibana-san… Haruka isn’t the delinquent they think she is. She’s half, so that’s why she looks like this. And the reason she’s often late is because she lives alone, away from her parents. Also, I’m not Haruka’s lackey…”

I squeezed my other hand tightly, the one not holding Haruka’s.

“–I’m Haruka’s boyfriend! And Haruka is my girlfriend!”

This may have been the first time in my life that I shouted so desperately.

For someone who had always been called a calm and gentle person…

Now, I was desperately raising my voice to protect something I cared about.

My classmates were stunned.

The teacher was also dumbfounded.

And the one who was most stunned was Haruka.

“Let’s go, Haruka.”

I tightly gripped her hand and ran out of the classroom.

The sky was clear and blue.

As I looked up, out of breath, I muttered,

“…I really did it.”

But more than the regret, the feeling of being fulfilled and relieved outweighed everything.

“…Um, Yukio…”

Haruka called my name softly.

“What you said earlier…?”

When I turned around, Haruka was blushing, looking up at me with a gaze full of emotion.

“I’m sorry for breaking my promise. I haven’t grown enough to be able to call you my girlfriend yet. But even so… I want to make you mine right now… Is that selfish of me?”

When I shyly yet clearly expressed my feelings, Haruka covered her mouth with her hand.

“…I’m happy. No one has ever said anything like that to me in my life.”

Perhaps it was because the tension had broken, but tears fell from Haruka’s beautiful blue eyes.

“…I also want to be your girlfriend right now.”

“Is that okay? I’m still weak, you know.”

“Yukio, you’re strong enough. But if you’re still not convinced, let’s grow together from now on.”

“Haruka…”

We gazed into each other’s eyes.

And then, we kissed.

Slowly, our tongues intertwined.

Eventually, we gently pulled away.

“…I finally got to kiss you, Yukio.”

“…Was I bad at it?”

“…No. You were really good. Was it really your first time?”

“…O-of course it was.”

As Haruka smiled teasingly, I responded, flustered.

“Then, next time, should we kiss while… touching my breasts?”

“Eh, so suddenly?”

“I’ve waited long enough, you know?”

“O-okay.”

My heart raced as I gently lifted Haruka’s blouse, touching her generous boobs.

“Ah… Yukio, your hand is warm.”

“Haruka, your chest… it’s so big and soft.”

“Idiot… I’m going to kiss you again.”

We pressed our lips together once more.
