Baka and Test - Summon the Beasts/バカとテストと召喚獣
By Inoue Kenji
I don't own anything.
Me, Minami, and Our Circumstances
A Fanfic by Takagi
Short A/N: This is the sequel of "Me, Minami and Hazuki, and Our Activities". I suggest you to read it first to understand the character's development. But well, no big deal.
This story is written from Akihisa's point of view.
Chapter 3: "Delusion"
My footsteps were the only sounds I could hear since the corridor was already empty as all the students were in the class at the moment. I was the only student left who had not returned to his class yet. This happens because Minami left me alone on the school yard after yelling countless unknown words towards me.
… It made me feel incredibly guilty for some reason…
If only I understand what Minami shouted before, I might know what the root of her problem is. Is it because that rooftop scene with Himeji-san? No, they are friends, best friends at that. Minami wouldn't get angry just because her friend got into a relationship, would she? Moreover, she already ignored me yesterday too, which means this has nothing to do with Himeji-san's confession.
Without me realizing it, I am already standing in front of 2-F's door. Sigh, what should I do when I face Minami?
"Sorry, I'm late! Aahahaha…. Ha? Where's the teacher? Could it be that… Today is a holiday!?"
"No, Yoshii-kun. Sensei is here. Excuse me."
"Ah. I'm sorry Fukuhara-sensei..."
I let Fukuhara-sensei came in and followed him behind but he suddenly stopped walking then turned around and smiled before he said, "Since you are late, Yoshii-kun, I guess I can't let you come in unless I give you punishment."
"NOT EVERY SINGLE OF THEM!"
And on top of that, he also is late! What a terrible person!
My God… These two days have been harsh for me. Yesterday, Ironman punished me by declaring that I have to take part in the upcoming drama competition no matter what. And now, Fukuhara-sensei is going to give me punishment too!
"I actually forgot to bring my books, please take it at..."
How could you forget your books? Well, at least it's not that troublesome…
"… My home"
"WHAT!?"
FOR HEAVEN'S LOVE!
"Ah, forget it, Yoshii-kun… Class dismissed…"
Is that what a teacher does?! This guy is really unpredictable!
"You can use this free time to discuss your drama," he said before the sliding door hit the wall.
"Well, we already decide the theme and the roles. So I guess it will just be a free time," Yuuji declared, followed by a roar of the whole male students in my class who are leaving 2-F in joy.
"However, Hideyoshi will do his job finishing up the scenarios."
"Ough. My pleasure, Yuuji."
"Hideyoshi is really serious when it comes into drama… It makes me fall deeper for her…"
"Akihisa, I'm a man."
The class is empty now, leaving only the core members of 2-F at the corner minus Minami.
"Akihisa-kun?"
"Hi… Himeji-san?" Suddenly Himeji-san called me. I approached her, passing by the gloomy Minami who was walking out of the classroom as soon as Himeji-san spoke my name. I want to talk to Minami but it doesn't seem like she do too.
"I'm sorry for leaving you back there at the rooftop, Hime…"
"Stop right there."
"Hm?"
"You should call me by my maiden name from now on, Akihisa-kun! We are lovers now!" She whispered while puffing up her cheeks.
This beautiful girl is my girlfriend from now on… If I'm not happier than before, then I am crazy.
"Okay. Mi… Mizu… Mizuki…"
It feels kinda weird in my tongue. Can't I just call her like before? Well, to call their girlfriends by their given name is normal for a boyfriend. But it is still feel uneasy for me.
"Akihisa-kun, are you alright? Your face is beet red!"
"Ahaha nothing really. Maybe I didn't eat enough breakfast… Ahaha UPH!"
My stupid mouth!
"You should tell me earlier if that is the case! I actually…"
I KNOW IT WILL COME INTO THIS!
"You know, Himeji-san. You don't have to…"
"What is this, Akihisa? Himeji made you a homemade food again?" Yuuji and Muttsurini suddenly came! Are they going to help me out?
"I'm sorry, Sakamoto-kun. Umm… um… I only bought a sandwich from the minimarket and I already said that I'd give it to Akihisa-kun."
"I see. Lucky you, Akihisa."
"I'm envious."
So she bought it, huh? Then it is cool.
"Thank you, Himeji-san!" I grabbed the sandwich from her hand before I open my mouth to say, "Itadakimaaaasu~"
Hmm… Typical minimarket's sandwich. It is soft, sweet, spicy, a little too burnt, very spicy, bitter, bitter, bitterrrrrrrrrrrrrrr…. WHAT THE HECK IS THI…
"!"
"Akihisa-kun? Are you alright?"
"Ugh… Uh…" I tried my best to answer her after swallowing whole the sandwich.
Himeji-san then bent down to whisper again, "I am sorry Akihisa-kun. I have to lie to them. I actually made the sandwich special for you only! Hihihi"
SO THAT'S WHY!
"Himeji-san… You shouldn't lie again. Ever… UPH"
"Now if you excuse me, I have to go to the bathroom."
I moved my legs real quick until I reached men's washroom and did what I must soon after that. Himeji-san is much more dangerous now that she even lied to give me her food!
...
"Aah~ That's better..."
Himeji Mizuki, despite her ultra-beauty, is very hostile (her food). She told me once that she never tasted her food before she gives them to me because she is afraid of becoming a cow or something. But really, she really needs to know how they taste like for once! What if her parents accidentally eat Himeji-san's handmade food and died?
By the way, It took me quite a while to dump everything I ate since this morning. Now my tummy is really empty... I feel like I can lose my consciousness anytime. My legs aren't moving properly. They are shaking like a leaf!
But I must get back to class... Ukh... I can't even standing anymore...
*Bam*
"Hey, he fell!"
"Is he alright?"
I guess I had just fallen to the floor. I can hear everyone chattered around me, asking if I was okay. I want to answer them yet I can't even open my eyes. My head is dizzy and I passed out.
..
"..Ki.."
..
Huh? This voice…
"Stupid Aki."
"Minami? Is that you? Where are you?"
I slowly regain my consciousness. I can hear Minami's voice, but I can't find her as everything is still blurry.
"So in the end, I couldn't give this bento to him… I am the idiot…"
I finally can adjust my eyes. Hm? It's already evening. And why am I suddenly standing at the school yard? Am I teleporting or something? Is this heaven? My mind is clear enough to tell me that it was still 9 or 10 A.M. when I enter 2-F and bumped into Fukuhara-sensei.
Ah, I can see better now. I can see Minami, standing in front of the green trash can. She is holding a box… a bento box. I guess she's going to dump it?
*Goroo*
That's my stomach growled… Ah. That's bad! It would be better if I eat that instead! It doesn't look like Minami wants to eat it anymore!
"Mina…"
"AAAAAAAAHHHH! WAIIIIIIT!"
Huh? That is…
ME?
"Aki…"
"That bento… *haa haa* Are you throwing that away?"
Wait… This scene is…
If I'm not mistaken, this happened after Ironman asked me to help him all day long while I have run out of money which made me unable to eat a thing for breakfast.
How could I seeing this again? Is this a dream?
"What?"
"What, you say? Umm…"
"You see, wasting resources are bad!"
Wa… was that what I said back there?
"To prevent global warming too… You must not waste food, okay?"
"Huh?"
"Also, the mottainai ghost will come out if you do wasteful stuff!"
"For ecology and the environment, recycling is uhm…."
"You have to make use of the limited resource!"
WHAT A BS! I can't believe that was what I told her! Poor excuses!
"Here."
"Will you eat it?"
"Will you not?"
…
"Baaka!"
Although this happened quite a long time ago (I guess?) I can still remember her smile until now. It left me a certain mental impression about Minami… That she can be very beautiful at such times. More than Himeji-san or Kirishima-san, even.
I still remember the feeling I have that time after she gave me the bento.
I want to see that smile of her again in the future... Every single day...
But now look at us. She even hardly talks to me for a reason yet I neglect her and showed her that rooftop scene with Himeji-san this morning.
I'm a terrible, terrible person.
I hope I can fix everything with Minami soon... No. I will make it today! I'd do anything to get us back to normal!
*Groowl*
As my stomach producing sound again, I violently opened my eyes only to see the infirmary's ceiling.
I see. But who brought me here? I can't believe that there still exist good people outside of my best friends… I must thank them later. They even change my clothes into this infirmary cloth!
"Yoshii-kun? You okay?"
"Oh, Kubo-kun? I passed out didn't I? Thank you for bringing me here, Kubo-kun."
"No. It's not me, Yoshii-kun." He took a sit on a chair next to the bed I am on.
"Hmm? Then who?"
"It was Shimada-san."
"Mi… Minami!?"
"Ye… yes. She left you to me who passed her on my way to class A when she carried you on the hallway with her shoulder all by herself. I helped her carried your body to the infirmary before she left me here with you. Shimada-san also asked me to stay with you until you open your eyes again."
Minami was the one who helped me? Could it be that she finally opened her heart again?
"Where is my uniform?"
"I hung it over there…. UHWAH! Wait what are you doing, Yoshii-kun!?"
"I'm going to change into my uniform again. What's wrong?"
"Y… YOU CAN'T SHOW ME YOUR NAKED BODY BUT TRUNKS! IT… IT'S EXTREMELY DANGEROUS!"
"I see. Because I've just regained my consciousness so I can't move around too much, is it? Thank you Kubo-kun. You're always been care for me. Thanks a lot. But I can't just sleep there and doing nothing!"
"Yoshii-kun…"
"Yoshii-kun… I'm sorry for changing your clothes when you are unconscious… It is very filthy of me. I won't do it again!"
"Hmm? I can't hear you. I will treat you a juice next time! Err, maybe next month. See ya!"
I left Kubo-kun who is still standing in the infirmary. Really, he is a good guy with great grades and good looks. I could say, he is a male version of Himeji-san. Any girl would fall for him!
The bell rings just when I return back to the classroom. Based on the time now, the lunch break is already over and we are entering the third shift. As soon as I entered the classroom, Himeji-san stormed at me and tried to hold my hands, however I prevent her hands before the FFF judge me again.
"Are you alright now, Akihisa-kun? Minami-chan said that you suddenly fell…"
"Yes, I'm alright. Himeji-san. Don't worry!"
I wanted to talk to Minami, but the teacher already came in.
That's okay though. I will try my best to talk to Minami after school.
*RIIIIING RING*
The bell rings again, telling us that the boring history class which in the last shift for today is finally over. I quickly set my eyes on Minami's seat but she is not there. SHE IS NOT THERE! How could she moved so fast?
"Wait, Akihisa-kun. Where are you going?"
A pair of cute tiny hands suddenly pulls my hands to stop me from running.
"Himeji-san…"
"Let's go home together, Akihisa-kun! Ehehe!"
Going home together with Himeji-san… Hand to hand, maybe… Is not it one of my dreams!?
However, what I said was...
"I'm sorry, Himeji-san. Gotta go home fast! See you tomorrow!"
I left 2-F and chased down Minami. Man, I already chased her for twice today!
"Akihisa-kun…"
"Just as I thought, you are actually…"
I'm now standing in front of the lockers room. But I can't find Minami anywhere. That's why I decide to go all the way to her house. I won't stop until I meet her and clear up things! I must do it today!
It turned out that my brain becomes convenient this time. I can still remember how to get to Minami's house.
After a walking for about approximately 15 minutes, I suddenly heard...
"Aah! Baka onii-chan!"
This voice is...
"Hazuki-chan! How are you doing?"
"Hazuki is doing fine! Uuu.. It's been awhile since Hazuki met Baka Onii-chan!"
"It's only been two days, Hazuki-chan... By the way, what are you doing here, Hazuki-chan? It's not good for cute girls to walk alone on public at such hour!"
"AAH! That's right! This is bad! Onii-chan must leave!"
"What's bad, Hazuki-chan? Why Onii-chan must leave?"
"Hazuki is not alone! I was from the shop with mo..."Hazuki-chan couldn't finish her words since a gentle voice cut in, calling her name.
- To be continued -
Author's note: Hello. Sorry for the few update. I have told you. The update will be very slow. (This chapter could even being added into chapter 2, right?)
But the story will get serious after chapter 3 now that Minami's mom has made her intro. Brace yourselves!
By the way, since Hazuki's (and Minami's)parents' names and faces were never been shown, I guess I will have to make my own description... I'll do my best though. Or have they? Please tell me if you know how they look like or what their names are!
Please R n R!
I DID TERRIBLE MISTAKES! I'M SORRY FOR THIS INCONVENIENCE!
I wrote class 2-C as Aki and other's class instead of F. (I guess I was being confused because I have just read the LN. lol)
Huge thanks to RADEON for the review! ^^
