Chapter 23: Misunderstanding

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

“Then, Senpai, do your best in class too!”

“Yeah.”

It was a school day. The gazes from those around me were annoying. That was because I was heading to school with Sword, who acted as my familiar, and Nemeth, who was in a cheerful, bubbly mood.

To begin with, Sword had this mature charm and sexiness that made teenage boys and girls turn their heads without thinking. She had the charm that naturally drew people’s attention to her. On top of that, the recent incident involving me and the fact that Nemeth stood out during the exam meant that the sight of us walking side by side to school attracted a ton of attention from the other students.

Nemeth didn’t seem to care at all. In fact, she headed to her classroom with an excited, upbeat attitude, clearly looking forward to school life. But even after Nemeth left, the attention on me didn’t lessen one bit. And then…

“Well then, Bocchama. The nuisance is gone. For transportation, I shall become a crawling mare, so please ride me without mercy and spank my ass!”

“No way in hell I’m doing that!”

“But my role is that of a familiar! Among the students here, some ride their familiars—”

“Those are griffons or some kind of riding beast, aren’t they?! You’re—”

“What’s that? I AM A BEAST! A lustful beast perfect for riding!”

“I said I’m not doing it!”

“Hau, if you get mad, punish me, punish me! ♥”

“I’m not going to do that!!”

The problem was Sword, who casually threw out bizarre remarks without caring about the people around us.

(Fufun, Bocchama… I won’t give up on our lewd life even with the Great General’s invasion looming. By raising my voice like this, everyone will understand the relationship between Bocchama and me. They’ll see that I’m Bocchama’s female toy, ready for any use, and that we’re already so close we’re practically drowning in debauchery. This way, no unnecessary pests will come near him…)

Anyway, whether at home or school, I could never let my guard down, and it was honestly exhausting…

“Oh, good morning, Habiri-sama!”

“Habiri-sama!”

“Oh… It’s Habiri-kun, right?”

“Yeah. Uh… Good morning, Habiri-kun.”

And then, something changed beyond my expectations.

“…Huh?”

“Nu? W-What is this…?”

The moment I entered the classroom, the class started greeting me. Not just the usual brown-nosers who always swarmed me—others, too, especially the girls who should’ve been too scared of being targeted by me to approach.

Why?

(What’s going on? In my last school life… Bocchama was seen as a perverted, filthy scumbag, and the girls in class were terrified of being assaulted by him… Well, if Bocchama ever got in the mood at school, I took care of everything in empty classrooms, storage rooms, the rooftop, or the bathroom… But what is this!?)

It was an unusual situation. Seriously, what was going on?

“What’s with you guys all of a sudden…?”

When I said that, they exchanged glances and mumbled among themselves.

No, seriously. What’s going on here?!

“Uh, well, you know… We’re classmates, so greetings are normal, right?”

One of the girls in class, acting as a representative, said this to me nervously.

“No, I’m not exactly normal… I mean, come on, I’m just a spoiled idiot son riding on my family’s coattails, right? When I first enrolled, I was all like, ‘Guahahaha, I’m so great!’ … Ugh, so embarrassing… Just forget it!”

“““““…”””””

“Anyway, I’m the worst, aren’t I? So why are you talking to me?!”

If they knew how I’d acted since the start of school, it made no sense for them to suddenly approach me. I cringed, recalling how embarrassingly small-time and cocky I’d been, and held my head in my hands in mental agony. But still, considering I had done all that, it was weird for them to talk to me willingly like this. 

“Pfft, pfft hahaha!”

“Haha… Ahahaha!”

“That’s hilarious! You’re admitting it yourself!”

“Hey, this is…Pfft, I can’t stop laughing!”

Suddenly, the entire class burst out laughing, clutching their stomachs.

Why?

“Like, you’re actually calling yourself a spoiled idiot son, huh?”

“Yeah, we… Well, yeah… Right?”

“Maybe we’re the ones who totally misunderstood Habiri-kun… Sorry about that.”

Misunderstood? Misunderstood what?

“That thing with the new student, Nemeth-chan, the other day—we saw it. And we realized we completely misunderstood you, Habiri-kun…”

“Habiri-kun was aiming to be a true hero… That’s why you acted that way toward us on purpose, right?”

“Yeah. People who cower in fear of power or authority aren’t fit to be heroes… That’s what it’s about, right?”

“The real Habiri-kun… He’s actually aiming to be a hero, with an incredible fiery passion burning in his heart, right?”

No way that’s true!

“So we thought… We don’t have that kind of talent or anything, but… We decided we’d do what we could. Seeing you and Nemeth-chan the other day inspired us.”

“That’s right, Habiri-sama! We’ll follow you!”

“Yeah, so we’re gonna try hard too. That’s the deal, so… Pleased to meet you, Habiri-kun!!”

“Haha! Though it’s a bit weird to say ‘pleased to meet you’ now! Haha!”

This was an unexpectedly bizarre turn of events. To think things would change this much compared to last time? What were these guys misunderstanding…

“W-W-Wait, you guys are totally misunderstanding me! I-I’m a bad guy, okay?!”

Oh no, my face was burning. I was weirdly nervous, and my tongue wasn’t working right. At that, the whole class laughed again.

“Hahaha, you’re blushing!”

“Wow, my impression of Habiri-kun has totally changed!”

“Haha, like… Can we be friends?”

“Habiri-san!”

“Habiri-sama!”

Everyone closed the distance with me at once, hyping me up. There’d been people who tried to cozy up to me before, aiming for my father’s or big brother’s influence, but this felt completely different.

“No, wait, you guys, look! I’m the sleazy jerk who brings a slave girl to school! G-Girls, aren’t you scared I’ll do something pervy to you?!”

“!-? Bocchama, if you’re calling yourself sleazy, then please, finally make a move on me! How long must I keep my hymen intact!?”

“Wha!? W-What are you saying, Sword!?”

I tried to clear up the misunderstanding by bringing up Sword, but…

“Huh!? No way… We totally thought you and that slave lady were already, you know…”

“Habiri-kun… You haven’t touched that beautiful slave? Huh? Are you, like, a gentleman?”

“If I were Habiri-kun, I’d have made a move on day one…”

“Hehe, could it be… Habiri-kun is still a virgin? Oh no… That’s kinda super cute! ♥”

“And, like, his family background is top-tier… Wait, isn’t Habiri-kun, like, a total catch?”

“Right? So great!”

Somehow, I’d dug myself deeper into their misunderstanding…

(-!? What’s that!? The insignificant girls in class who were off the radar before are now starting to have lewd thoughts about Bocchama!? What is this!? Just like Princess Toilette, these loose girls… If even they start hitting on Bocchama, it’ll be a schoolyard orgy… Grr, Bocchama is mine! The school’s becoming dangerous too!?)

What’s gonna happen to my school life now?
