While trying my best to get along with my childhood friend, who was head over heels for me. The idol whom I saved that one time in history transferred in. Now my school life is in carnage. - Episode 18: They'll Pin You Down Whether It's a School Assembly or the Middle of the Scramble Crossing

Episode 18: They’ll Pin You Down Whether It’s a School Assembly or the Middle of the Scramble Crossing

“Alright, we’ve arrived.”

Our destination is the sports park. So why didn’t Rei and others come in more comfortable clothes? The answer is simple…

“We dressed like this to make Mi-chan happy, you know.”

“I’ve never tried this ‘landmine fashion’ before. After all, in the end I will change into clothes that are easy to walk in, so before that, I figured I’d show it to Mirai-kun first, and if he didn’t like it, I’d change into something else.”

“Mi-Mirai-san and I bought a lot of clothes together, so I thought I’d wear many different kinds of outfits after this for him too…”

…I seriously feel like I might get killed soon. Un.

“Well then, I’m going to change first now. I’ll switch back after the BBQ.”

“Ah, wait a moment! I want to take a picture first since we’re all dressed up!”

Hoshi said this, but Ayaka stopped her immediately. Hoshi let out a small “ah.”

“Oh right, right, I totally forgot.”

“Yeah. I want to take one too. Let’s all take a photo together. And I also want one with Mi-chan alone.”

“Me too… I want one with Mirai-san… alone”

“Ah, me too!”

“Sure, of course.”

Saying that, was when Rei hugged me first.

“Hey, cut it out. Don’t bring your lips and tongue so close.”

“Tch, failed. Oh well.”

When I grabbed her face with my hand, Rei gave up and hugged me, pressing her cheek against mine.

“Alright then, say cheese.”

Then Rei took a photo with her smartphone in one hand.

“You got the photo, but doesn’t it barely show the clothes?”

“It’s for my chat icon, so it’s fine.”

With that words, Rei released me. But next was Hoshi, who clung into me.

“Okay then, next is me!”

“Sure.”

Hoshi leaned on my shoulder and took a photo with her smartphone.

“L-Lastly, it’s my turn!”

…She hugged me the same way. Although I forgot to mention, although my face didn’t show it, my heart was already pounding really hard. After all, I’ve had little to very few experiences talking with girls.

Ayaka awkwardly hugged me and took a photo with her smartphone.

After that, we took a group photo, and as we realized we were running out of time, so the three of them went to change. But…

“Mi-chan, come with us too.”

“What are you talking about? I just need to take off my jacket.”

“Wait, isn’t ‘changing’ a euphemism? Aren’t we going to have a foursome? Multi-purpose restrooms are designed for various purposes, so it’s possible you know?”

“I will pass, also that would cause a scandal. Remember past incidents.”

“Fufu, realizing it’s wrong makes me even more horni.”

“You’re the only one! Hurry up and go.”

“Hurry up and come!?”
[TL notes: go and cum has a similar notation of ‘ike’ and ‘iku’, here, since it was an order from Mii-chan to Rei-chan, it was ‘ike’ in both way. Like –> Go on and cum / Hurry up and go already.]

“Hoshi, take her away.”

“Yes, sir!”

Hoshi saluted and grabbed Rei’s arm. A salute in landmine fashion feels so unbalanced that on the contrary, its oddly good.

“Aww Mou! Mi-chan is so mean!”

“You sound like an old pin-up character.”

Watching Rei being dragged away, I hurried to the meeting point.

◆◆◆

Ugh, my stomach hurts. It hurts so much that I might vomit.

The stares are unbearable.

Right now, I’m standing in front of everyone. That also it’s part of my committee work, explaining the recreational activities.

Ugh… The guys are glaring or rather are they completely ignoring me… Moreover, I can hear their whispers.

Ahh mou, looks like Rei is about to make a move as well. Stop it. If Rei loses her temper, it’ll be a disaster.

…And just right then…

“Hey, you guys! Shut up already!”

Oh boy, the disciplinary teacher is angry. Well, that’s understandable.

“Thanks to Aone, you guys can use your smartphones now! Can’t you some gratitude with your actions!”

Hearing that from the disciplinary teacher, the boys fell silent and quietened.

The disciplinary teacher motioned for me to continue.

…Well, if they’re willing to listen now, that’s all good.

But in the time I continued talking, Rei kept giving me a mischievous smile. Damn it, if I were to do that, I’d just look like a plain creep. Yet, when a beauty like Rei does it, she looks incredibly cute and stands out, which makes me feel even more annoyed.

◆◆◆

“Why are you continuously grinning like that?”

“Fufu, because everyone finally recognized Mi-chan’s efforts.”

I choked on Rei’s words… Actually, she’s right. The harsh stares have softened, and the whispers have noticeably decreased since then.

“By the way, it’s all thanks to Mirai-san that we can use our smartphones now?”

“That surprised me too. Rather, I hadn’t heard about it.”

I gave Ayaka and Hoshi a wry smile.

“…It didn’t seem like something to brag about. Plus, I wasn’t sure if anyone would believe me even if I were to tell.”

“But you could’ve at least told us. We’d praise you, and a lot. We could even make you a boob pillow?”

“No thanks.”

“And, Rei-chan knew about this, didn’t she?”

“Un. I heard about Mi-chan’s achievement from the student council president.”

…Ah now that you say, she was there too. The student council president.

“She praised Mi-chan, saying he skillfully exploited their weaknesses well.”

“Don’t make it sound so sinister… But it was also thanks to my conversations with Rei. Thanks.”

“Sure. You can repay me with your body.”

“I think I did this conversation with imaginary Rei too!?”

“Fufu, it’s about time for them to increase.”

“Is this a virus? Give me a antidote already.”

“Releasing yourself inside me will halt the growth.”

“It won’t even eliminate it?”

“Oh, by the way, if you date someone else, the growth rate increases a hundredfold. With each child, it multiplies by a hundred again.”

“That inflation is ridiculous. Is this a game bug? Fix it.”

“It’s a feature.”

“Hey development team, do something about it!”

As we continued this exchange, I felt a soft sensation on my back.

“No to favoritism! Flirt with us too!”

“…It’s always Rei-chan, that’s unfair.”

Hoshi hugged me from behind, while Ayaka tugged and held the hem of my shirt.

By the way, both of them had already changed. They were wearing comfortable logo T-shirts and shorts… Still, the two of them looked great and stood out in those outfits.

Also, Rei wore a tracksuit with a jacket over it. For some reason, that jacket looked mine, but lets ignore that.

“Fufufu, Mi-chan’s body can no longer live without me now.”

“Ugh… Then I’ll have to make Mirai-kun addicted to my boobs…?”

“M-Me too… I will have to…”

“Can I escape already? I am only getting a bad feeling about th—”

My words were interrupted by a sharp whistle. The match for the other class had ended.

“…Looks like it’s our class’s turn next. I’ll be the one keeping the score.”

Hoshi reluctantly let go of me, and Ayaka also released my shirt.

After which, Rei hugged me.

“Were you even listening? Say.”

“Nope, just a feeling. It seemed like the right thing to do.”

“There’s no such thing like that. Also I’ll get in trouble, so let go of me.”

I tried to push her away, but Rei wouldn’t budge.

“I feel like I want to chase after you when you try to escape. Something like that.”

“Are you a child going through a defiant phase? Fine then, cling onto me.”

“~Yay!”

“I knew it! Hoshi!”

“Yes, sir!”

After which, Hoshi escorted Rei away. Should I start preparing for her potential arrest? Maybe I should look up visitation procedures.

“Well then, see you at the game.”

“Ah, Yes!”

I said that to Ayaka and ran to the scoreboard.

◆◆◆

Volleyball, but not in the traditional sense. Four players per team, one set lasting five minutes. We repeat this five times. But you might think, that if that were the case, then half of the class won’t get to play. Remember, one of the two courts is still free. So, random matches selected by the committee members, especially focusing on losing teams are held there.

“…Even so, we’re also losing huh.”

Currently, it’s the third game.

Maybe because everyone were good and athletic, rallies lasted quite long. However, our class is trailing by three points.

“Well, it’s only three points. We can still make a comeback if we do well from now.”

“Oh, look who’s here, the culprit.”

“Don’t call me culprit.”

It’s been a while since I saw Gou. He seems lonely since I haven’t been paying attention to him. Yare~yare~.

“Sorry, but I’m feeling really irritated. So, let me punch you?”

“No violence.”

I responded to Gou while keeping my eyes on the court.

By the way, Gou had recently messed up trying to return a ball with his foot, and also failed twice in serving. So basically, this three-point gap is because of Gou’s mistakes.

“Damn it, I’ll also curse you to make mistakes.”

“Unlike you, I play it safe and solid unlike you.”

“Then I curse you to trip and fall on straight up on Kujo-chan.”

“Stop that? For real. She’ll drown me in her boobs in between the match.”

“Haha, right. As that wouldn’t happen.”

“You underestimate Rei. She’d try to pin me down whether it’s a school assembly or the middle of the scramble crossing.”

“Is she’s the embodiment of lust?”

“She is at a level where even lust itself would bow down to her. Her desire manifests as a ghost and haunts others.”

“What are you even talking about?”

“I have no idea what I am talking about either. But it’s true.”

Maybe I’m near losing it too. Should I go to the hospital?

(“Could it be!? Mi-chan! Whose child is it!? Who impregnated you!?”)

Don’t appear, evil spirit!

“…Gou. Am I supposed to go to the hospital already? Even now, imaginary Rei is talking to me in my head.”

(“Is it Aiba-kun’s child!?”)

“Oh-O–Okay… I’m exhausted as well. We should refresh ourselves once in a while.”

“… let’s do that. Maybe I’ll visit a temple or something.”

“But I can’t seem to refresh myself. Maybe that’s it.”

As Gou and I exchanged these words, the match continued. Five minutes passed, and the match ended with the fourth team’s win.

But later, even that fourth team struggled back-and-forth, losing by three points.

“Uee~gh… I’m seriously becoming a war culprit now, aren’t I?”

“Well, don’t worry about it. We can just make up for it next time. –Rei will.”

“You do your best too.”

“Hahaha, I’ll do my best.”

Leaving behind a dry laughter, I headed towards Rei and the others to join them.

◆◆◆

“Well, it looks like that’s how it’s going to be.”

“This, given it’s Rei and Mirai-kun, won’t they handle this on their own…?”

Rei’s domination began. Well rather, since we can’t play volleyball alone, so I’m handling the receives.

Although we were three points behind, now we were three points ahead. In fact, they hadn’t scored against us at all so far.

And every time Rei jumped up, cheers erupted. Mainly from the guys. Well, the reasons for that are probably self-explanatory.

But at the same time, Rei intentionally collapses onto me. Deliberately clinging to me. What the hell is she doing during the match? Seriously. Thanks to that, I keep getting hit with those killer serves every time. My arm is burning red. It hurts like hell.

“We—we can’t lose…! Mirai-san, please set the ball for me too!”

“Yeah, got it.”

Actually, I realized I was unconsciously setting the ball to Rei too often. Not good, not good.

“Die Already!”

“Don’t say things like that while hitting the ball.”

Moreover, that’s quick! Even I’m barely keeping up. Even though in the fitness test, I could probably squeeze into the top twenty somehow. Well, Rei next to me, regardless of gender, is always at the top in fitness tests, so it’s not really something to boast about.

“Hey, Ayaka, here we go.”

“Eh!? We’re doing it!? Mi-chan!”

“Shut up! Relax your grip!”

I thought about putting Hoshi in the middle, but she shook her head. Hoshi was never good at sports… and it seems she’s still no good still.

I adjusted the ball to go to Ayaka as I received it.

“Here! I’m going!”

Ayaka jumped… and then hit the ball.

Speaking of which… even though it’s obvious, but Ayaka is also good at sports. She also seemed to top of the fitness test special feature on the DVD extra 【nectar】of the idol group.

The male student who was supposed to be near the ball did not move.

“I did it…! I did it, Mirai-san!”

“Yeah, that was amazing.”

Ayaka bounced up and down… and then came hugging onto me.

“Ah, —Ayaka-san!?!”

“I-I also… want something like a re–reward…”

Perhaps because of her thin shirt, the softness of her chest and various other dangerous things came through onto me.

“…A–Ayaka-chan… doing that…”

“Pull yourself together! Yamada, who secretly wrote Ayaka-chan and his own name in the corner of his notebook!”

Don’t suddenly show your pure side, Yamada. It will just make our heart feel painful instead.

Just as the whistle blew, Ayaka separated from me. And the match went on.

…Even though that were the case, we won’t lose anymore.

Moreover, our class advanced to victory and was able to win the championship. Our team alone was fielded in every match there on out.
