Many thanks to those who read and reviewed this fic. I really appreciated it and this gave me inspiration to work on the next chapter and here the story picks up where the last chapter left, as the Mineru attempts to persuade the principal to let Koshi off the hook…but also faces the bully and his parents…
Well then, read on and enjoy!
The next day, Koshi, Sutea and Kento are standing outside the gates of the school, as the trio are bracing themselves as this is a crucial moment for Koshi, as they are pinning their hopes on Mineru, who will be posing as Koshi's guardian.
Mineru placed a hand on Koshi's shoulder and tells him that they are going inside and face the principal, and then the bully and his parents, as she is sure that the bully's parents are likely to pressure the principal to have Koshi expelled.
"Are you ready, Koshi-kun?"
"Y-yeah."
"Be strong. Show that manliness you've shown yesterday…"
"Well…"
"Besides…I have a feeling that the bully's parents might use Atena-chan to make you lose your cool…"
"…"
"So try to keep a cool head."
"Okay."
As Mineru and Koshi went inside, Sutea and Kento glanced at each other and wondered what would happen next, and are dreading that the principal might not listen to reason, and that he might stick to his decision not to let Koshi continue at school, but Atena showed up and assured that Mineru will do what it takes to help Koshi.
However, Frey showed up and teases Atena again, causing the pink-haired girl to get flustered and denied the accusations though the cosplaying fanatic teasingly said otherwise.
"So…you really hope that Koshi-kun would be okay…"
"Of course!"
"Hee-hee…you sure like your knight in shining armor…"
"Wh-what are you…?"
"You really like Koshi-kun…"
"I-its not like that…!"
"Oh…?"
"Frey-senpai…!"
The scene shifts at the school gate where some of the students saw Koshi heading for the school building with Mineru following, and it is now known what happened, many are worried for Koshi after learning what happened, and there his classmates began cheering for their beleaguered classmate, who is nearing the age of 13 soon and said that they are rooting for him.
"Go for it, Koshi!"
"We're rooting for you!"
"Show that bully who's the boss!"
"The truth will prevail!"
"Don't cower, Koshi!"
"We know you're innocent!"
"Don't let them intimidate you!"
"Yeah, you're a nice guy!"
Koshi just nodded as he and Mineru went inside, but then one of Koshi's classmates told Sutea and Kento that the bully's parents are there and said that the parents might harm Koshi, which made Sutea and Kento worried as they wondered if the principal has enough authorizing aura to keep the Ijime parents at bay.
"The Ijime parents…"
"You mean…?"
"Yes, Sutea…they're going to…"
"Oh no…"
"I just hope that the principal…"
"I doubt it."
"…"
"…"
But then Atena and Kiriya went towards the school building and follow Mineru and Koshi, surprising the two younger teens and they asked them where are they going, which Atena and Kiriya said that they have a feeling that Koshi would be needing help, as they felt that Mineru might have difficulty in quelling off the Ijime parents.
"We got this covered."
"We figured that Mineru-senpai might have some problems, so Kiriya-senpai and I will provide support."
"So Atena and I are going in."
"So don't worry."
"Kiriya…Atena…"
"Please…help Koshi…"
"We will."
"So don't worry."
Other students blinked their eyes as they were awed by the beauty of Atena while awed by the COOLNESS yet CUTE appearance of Kiriya, and one of the students recognized the two as students of Seikan Women's University, and they saw the two university girls interacted with Sutea and Kento.
As Atena and Kiriya went inside the school building, the other students approached Sutea and Kento, asking them if they know about Atena and Kiriya and are they connected somehow to Koshi's situation, much to Sutea and Kento's surprises, seeing that they need to keep Koshi's situation as a dorm mother a secret at all costs.

(Opening song of Megami-ryō no Ryōbo-kun)
Shiranai furi wo shiteru dake desho?
Hitomi no oku ni honne deteru yo
DORAMATIKKU na koi nanka ja nai

Hontou wa tereteru dake
Okufukaku ijirasete yo
Konna fuku kisasechau no
Kimi dake ni hora DOKI DOKI shiteru
Aru ga mama nasu ga mama nagasarete
GARASU no mukou nozokikondara
Ademeku sweety na sekai
Mukiatte dakishimete kowareru hodo
Kimi no kodou ga kanjireru kurai
Soba ni kite hoshii na
Toroke sou na Love
Itazura na ai de kimi no koto madowasu no
Toroke sou na Love
Shitai koto zenbu suki ni shite kamawanai yo
Yubisaki de nazotte
Amai amai yume misete ageru yo
Kuchibiru wo mitsumete
I wanna kiss you motto motto
Ch. 3: Taiketsu
The scene soon shifts outside the principal's office where Koshi braces himself, as Mineru tells him to keep his cool as she anticipate that the Ijime parents would do anything to provoke him and make it appear that the boy is the guilty one so that the Ijime bully would get away, and tells him that she would do the talking as she guessed that the Ijime parents might be influential people that might sway the principal.
"So if possible…try not to get riled…"
"…okay…"
"Just let me do the talking…"
"…okay…"
"And I'll see to it that the parents would admit their faults…"
"…okay…"
"Trust me on this, okay…?"
"…okay…"
As the two knocked the door and Koshi entered, Mr. Ijime lunges forward and threw his fist, intent on striking Koshi, but Mineru pulls Koshi away and Mr. Ijime ended up punching the wall, causing him to shriek in pain as Mineru commented that she anticipated that something like this would happen.
The Ijime bully saw Koshi and began wailing and Mrs. Ijime demanded that Koshi be either suspended or expelled, saying that an UNCULTURED BRAT has no place here in this school, pointing out the bruised and swollen face of her son, and the principal appeared to be swayed and tells Koshi to apologize so that he won't be punished, which infuriated the boy.
Koshi lashed out verbally in a justifiable way, saying that the Ijime parents should be the one who should apologize as their son started it and made insulting comments about Atena, which the Ijime parents deny the accusations and called Koshi a desperate liar who do not belong in this school.
Mineru then brought out her cellphone and showed the footage with the audio loud and clear, and asked the Ijime parents if this is how they raised her son, who insulted a woman who happened to be her dormitory roommate, and uses her to provoke Koshi, which the Ijime parents were stunned to silence.
"Here is the proof. So who's the liar now…?"
"…"
"…"
"And you claim that you EDUCATED your child….?"
"…"
"…"
"I'd think twice before you proclaim your righteousness…"
"…"
"…"
Mineru then asked the principal what would he do if the Ijime bully would do the same to him, and asked if he is willing to turn a blind eye, which the principal appeared to be cornered due to the evidence shown and he seemed to be unable to come up with any rebuttal.
But the Ijime parents were stubborn and unwilling to own up their shortcomings and insisted that Koshi is the guilty one, and as Koshi asked if this is what they learned at their school, then they are unfit to be parents as he pointed out how the Ijime bully showed disrespect towards his elders like how he insulted Atena.
The Ijime bully, realizing that he and his parents are cornered, resorted to his playacting and began to sob as if he is in distress, and there Mr. Ijime slapped Koshi hard and grabbed him again, ready to land a hard punch, but Kiriya suddenly entered, having heard the ruckus from outside the principal's office.
There she caught Mr. Ijime's fist with her left hand, then she uses her right hand and did a palm strike which sent him crashing against a steel cabinet, while Atena went to Koshi, helping him up, as his left cheek is swollen and his lower left lip was BUSTED, blood dripping down towards his chin.
Sutea and Kento saw this and went to their classmate, concerned at what they just witnessed, and they too became angered at the foolishness of the Ijime parents.
"Koshi!"
"Koshi!"
"…"
"Are you okay?"
"You're hurt!"
"…"
"Principal! Why don't you show some reaction, damn it!"
"Are you going to ignore what you saw?"
Mrs. Ijime became irate and threatened to have Kiriya arrested for assault and demanded to the principal that Koshi, Sutea and Kento be expelled for their UNCULTURED BEHAVIOR, but Atena approached the woman before slapping her hard, sending her to the floor, dazed and shocked.
At this point Koshi, Sutea and Kento's homeroom teacher approached the principal, having witnessed everything, and tells him what would his decision be, saying that it is clear that the Ijime parents have no intention of taking responsibility and even tried to intimidate him into accepting their whims, and pointed out that if the principal is unwilling to act on this, Koshi's guardians would be compelled to report to the board of education about this incident and showed them the evidence, which is shown as she revealed that she secretly recorded the scenes a while ago.
The principal is now facing a situation as he had to act now or else this would blow up to unprecedented proportions, and he sighed as he tells the Ijime parents that their son would be suspended until he apologizes to Atena and Koshi, which the Ijime parents are unwilling to have it yet the principal said that either that or else Atena would file charges at the police station, as though the Ijime boy may not be prosecuted, the parents would take the brunt.
"Sorry, but I have to make a choice. You're child would be suspended until he makes a formal apology. Would you want that…?"
"…"
"…"
"If your child apologize, I may consider a slight punishment."
"…"
"…"
"So what would you do…?"
"…"
"…"
Realizing that they lost their leverage, and unwilling to get a criminal record as the evidence presented is strong, the Ijime parents reluctantly apologized and urged their son to do the same, and ultimately, the Ijime bully was given a two-week suspension while Mineru said that she is willing to overlook what Mr. Ijime did to Koshi if he promised to discipline his child.
The homeroom teacher talked to the principal and both came to an agreement that Koshi won't be punished and thus he can resume classes, and both Sutea and Kento are glad that everything went well and Koshi can resume classes, and thanked Mineru and Atena for everything.
"Mineru! Atena!"
"Thanks!"
"Oh, it's nothing."
"At least Koshi-kun can resume classes…"
"We really owe you one!"
"Yeah, it's all thanks to you!"
"Oh, it's nothing, really…"
"That's what anekis like us would do…"
After that, Mineru, Atena and Kiriya left, while the other students saw the trio leave, and soon they became curious after identifying Atena, and wondered why Koshi became protective towards her, unaware of the fact that Koshi is the dorm mother and the fact that Koshi has subconscious feelings towards her.
"That's her…?"
"Looks like it…"
"She's pretty…"
"Yeah…attractive…"
"I heard that she's a university student…"
"Wonder why Nagumo was protective towards her…?"
"Maybe…"
"Hey…"
To Be Continued...
