I don't own anything
A/N: Hello my precious readers! How are you? I hope you're doing fine! FYI, I'm kinda sick and it is not enjoyable at all. Please take care of yourselves, guys!
Oh. And from this chapter on, I am going to choose an assistant to reply your reviews from the previous chapter! (YAAAAY!) I've proposed to her last night and she said yes! ;)
Here is my new girlfriend, Kinoshita Yuuko! *clap* *clap*
Y: Wh- what? Your girlfriend!? You only proposed me to be your assistant! And why does it have to be me anyway! I'm busy!
T: Because you don't appear much in my sto… OUCH!
Y: Don't sweat small things, Takagi-kun! OK, I'll just do my job here! Huh! Now, let's do this quick!
Y: Hmm, from Maxus Mel… He said that he miss your frequently updates. What the h*ck are you doing, Takagi-kun? You should update this story quickly and frequently!
T: Yes, madam… But I'm not in a good shape you know.
Y: No excuse! You must satisfy your important readers, lazy ass!
T: Uuu… I'll do my best (T-T)
Y: Next… Ah. The bell is ringing. I will read it after school, later!
T: Wait! Yuuko! Ouch!
Y: It's LADY KINOSHITA for you!
T: That's that. We will read the rest later at the end of chapters!
Y: Takagi-kun doesn't own "Baka&Test"!
T: YOU STILL HERE?
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 if you haven't read that yet.
This story is written from Akihisa's point of view.
Chapter 5: "Tears"
*RING*
*RING* *RING*
*tap*
Uwaaaah. What a nice dream. Receiving such email from Himeji-san had made my mind at peace. It was short, but it meant a lot for me. I mean, I've always looked up to Himeji-san. She's always so beautiful, smart, and nice to everyone. She always fights with all her might on the frontline despite her bad health. Her smile is always painted on her cute chubby face every single day. She is just like a goddess from heaven. Therefore, for me to get a lovely email from her is like a dream comes true.
Aw man, it is 7 o'clock now. I gotta take a bath and breakfast fast! The first period starts at 8.30! How long did my alarm ring, by the way?
I took the bath really quick. I've made sure to wash every part of my body though. It's still 7.10 AM now! OK! I can do this! Now let's make a quick ramen!
After I pour the hot water into the ramen cup, I took out my phone as I wait for the noodles to get softened. WOW! 7 NEW EMAILS? I even never had more than 2 new emails before! Who the heck sent me emails early in the mo…
… Himeji-san.
They are all emails from Himeji-san!
"Akihisa-kuun! Good morning~ Have you gotten up yet?"
That was her message at 6.00 AM. And 10 minutes later…
"Akihisa-kuun, get uuuup!
Hahaha Himeji-san is so cute," I can't help but to giggle upon reading it.
And then I continue reading the rest of the emails. It turns out that she sent emails once in 10 minutes.
I finally reached the seventh email. The last."Akihisa-kun, you should get to class faster! We are going to have a quiz today. Remember? -Wait… Qu… quiz? GYAAAAH! MY RAMEEEEN!" I accidentally hit the table after I frantically stood from my seat, making the cup of ramen I've prepared for 5 minutes got spilled and rolling to the floor.
THIS IS BAD. I DIDN'T STUDY AT ALL LAST NIGHT! But first thing first. I gotta eat breakfast now!
And so, I made another ramen. It took 5 minutes until it get softenedand only fi… no. 10 minutes to eat. I guess. Let's just check the clock to assure.
IT'S 8.00! IT'S FRICKIN' 8.00 AM!
Howcome!? Did I really enjoy it so much that even made me forget about the time?
I left everything like it was and lock the door of my home before I sprint, sprint, and sprint to school. My record to get to school is 10 minutes. Can I break it somehow today? B- but that's not important! Let's run!
"You did it Akihisa. Look. New record. Congratulation,"
"Haaa… haa… Enough with the stopwatch my friend, Muttsurini... Please… Wa… ter…"
I'm now at my class, lying on its tatami floor. Out of energy, out of life source.
"Here, Akihisa-kun. You can drink it until you no longer thirsty!"
"Ah. Thank you!"
I swallowed the liquid but then I realized. The one who gave me this water wasn't Muttsurini. Rather, I heard a girl's voice before I get this juice.
"Ah, Himeji-san? Thank you for your treat!"
"No problem, Akihisa-kun. Tsuchiya-kun suddenly came and asked me for a drink… And it turned out that it was you who needed it. So I came here myself giving you the juice!"
"Wait. Wait. It was Himeji-san's juice?"
"Hai! Ufufu!"
I'M GONNA DIE! DAMN YOU MUTTSURINI! Oh, God! Just when I have a girlfriend!
But it strange that I don't feel anything weird with the sweet orange juice... And suddenly, Himeji-san moved her head closer to whisper me, "I bought it before I get to school at a minimarket and I drank it a little before you-"
Eh?
"-So I guess we have just shared an indirect kiss, Akihisa-kun!"
"What! INDIRECT KISS!?"
"SHUT UP!"
Suddenly, a group of men under a black cloth, the black organization of class F, known as the FFF, stood around Himeji-san and I.
"You cocky bast*rd. Don't you think just because our Himeji-san protects you, you can act all you like!"
"Kill him…. Kill him! Kill the heretic!"
"Wait, guys? We are still friends, right"
*shuuush*
"CLASS START! BACK TO YOUR SEATS!"
"Te—tetsujin…You saved my live!"
"You sure about that, Yoshii?"
"Huh?"
"I was about to give you a quiz, you know."
"Eeeek!"
"Well, it looks like you are prepared… Good for you. Because this quiz is—a little bit too much for an idiot."
"If you fail…" He continued, "I will give you punishment to attend my 'special' HELLISH lecture!"
"NOO! I will fail, Nishimura-sensei! I will fail! I know you only wanted to give me a punishment, don't you?"
"Back to your seat! We'll start in 5 minutes. Don't even think to cheat in this quiz!"
I couldn't do a thing to counter that. Well, I'll have to do this sooner or later though. So let's just do it for now.
By the way. I've just realized that the only seat that is empty is the front most, behind Minami's! I bet it was because everyone knew that today is going to be a quiz day that they chose to sit on the back instead!
And when I walked to that tea-table, Minami threw me a cold death glance. It made me very uncomfortable, so I greeted her, "Minami. Good luck for the quiz! Hehehe!"
But no response from her.
Her attitude reminded me again that we are not in a good term at the moment and I must do something to fix everything.
—I will stalk her again today after school.
…
AH. Finally! The last period for today is over! The only good thing for today is that Tetsujin's quiz is over! I hope my almost-empty answer sheet will do well.
Now, let's stalk Minami!
That ponytail girl had left the class only a while ago. Now is a perfect chance to walk behind her!
"Wait, Akihisa," suddenly Yuuji appeared. "You have to practice for our drama, remember?"
"Aww… Yuuji. Can I do it later? Like tomorrow?"
"No. You are a bad actor. Hideyoshi will have to teach you 'til you nail it!"
Tch. I've got no time for this! I must chase Minami!
Suddenly, the class' door is opened, allowing a beautiful doll-like girl to walk into this filthy classroom.
"Darling. I'm coming in."
"Eh? Darling?" I felt dumbfounded.
"Kirishima-san, are you dating Yuuji already?"
"That's right, Yoshii. I confessed to him during break and he finally said yes."
"No I didn't! Don't bluffing!"
Confessing to Yuuji is what Kirishima-san always do, but I was quite shocked when I heard she said that Yuuji finally reply her with a yes. If this is true, then Yuuji is in a serious problem. FFF won't get him away! Wait. That's the same case I am in...
"Yoshii and Himeji-san are going out already. Our real love shall not lose to theirs, Yuuji. Dear."
"Real love? What are you talking about, Shouko!? OI, Akihisa! This is your fa—GYAAAAH!"
"Let's go home, dear. Mother is waiting for your proposal," She dragged Yuuji's body out from the class and vanished.
"Good Lord. Now Akihisa, let's prac… Hm? Akihisa?"
"Akihisa-kun already left, Kinoshita-kun."
"What? How could he walk so fast? I only threw my attention for a moment to this script and he is already… Ah. By the way, Himeji? Aren't you going home with Akihisa? You two are dating right? … O- Oi, Himeji? Why are you crying?"
…
Thanks to Kirishima-san, I could get out from the practice scene. Now, I've been running for almost 30 minutes after that. I'm sorry Hideyoshi. But this is not a right time to spend a quality time just with you. I promise I won't run again! After the relationship between Minami and me back to normal!
Ah. There she is…
Hm? She is walking into a building. I followed her in. But before that, I guess I'll need to change my look, just in case!
Suddenly, I heard someone's voice, a lady's voice that I feel like I've heard it a while ago.
"Aaa. Yoshii-kun? We meet again!"
"Shimada-san? And Hazuki-chan! Good evening!"
"What are you doing here, Onii-chan?"
"I, uuuh… Was about to buy food ingredients! I'm running out of paprika!" I tried to cover up.
"Oh. I see. But I guess it won't hurt to eat dinner with us! Yesterday was a pity. Come on, Yoshii-kun! I won't take a no! The restaurant is not so far. It is right there."
It's the building that Minami had just entered! And now that you mention it, we are standing at the same street as yesterday!
"We are going to meet Minami inside too."
"You are looking for her, right?"
Just as I thought. This woman is really scary. She might even know already that I am stalking his daughter. I guess I will go with her. That's what I was about to do yesterday too, right?
"Ok! Let's go!"
"Good!"
….
"Mother. You finally-"
"-What's this sick idiot doing here? Mother?"
"Now, now, Minami. Don't say something bad like that! He is our gäste today."
"Oh. I have to answer this phone. You can talk to Minami and Hazuki, Yoshii-kun."
And so, Shimada-san walks out to the terrace. The daughter shots me a glare as her mother moves away.
"What in the world do you think you are doing here, idiot!?"
"I won't stop chasing you Minami! I said I want this clear why you avoided me since Monday! Why would you ever do that just after we spent such quality time together? I can't understand your thinking!"
"Ba… baka Onii-chan…"
Hazuki-chan might be afraid of how I look like at the moment. That's why she has that expression.
"Fine then! Have it your way! You will see!" She stood up and walked away from our table. She also dragged Hazuki-chan with her.
"Minami…"
Hm? I notice that Minami stopped to wipe her eyes for a moment there. Is she… crying?
"Minami, Hazuki? Where are you going?" Said the just-come-back Shimada-san.
"Toilet!"
"Okay then," she said as she sits. She continued later, "I'm sorry for what my daughter said, Yoshii-kun."
"Aha. No biggie."
Suddenly, I don't know if this is my imagination or not, but Shimada-san's facial expression suddenly changed. Her usual warm smile transformed into a cold expressionless face and her emerald eyes also flare up violently. It made me drink my saliva just by looking at it.
"Now that we are alone… Let's get to the business. Yoshii-kun."
"Hmm?"
"I really appreciate your effort to make Minami and Hazuki happy by going to Kyoto and all. You two seem to be in a good term, aren't you? But it had suddenly changed since Monday, wasn't it?"
"Well, yeah. But how could you know that?"
"… Because I'm the mastermind"
"Shi-shimada-san?"
"Yoshii-kun. From now on, I want you to stay away from my daughters."
!?
TO BE CONTINUED
A/N: Yooo! Finally chapter 5 is finished! I'm sorry for the very few updates again. That's why I add this "Read your Review" of RYR corner! Now let's read the remaining reviews! Kinoshita-swaaaaan~
Y: I'm here, Takagi-kun. And could you just call me the normal way? Who are you? Sanji-kun?
Anyway, let's get it start so I can go home quick! I wonder of what Genji will do to the cute Oda-kun~ Aaah…..
T: Yu… Yuuko-chan… You look more tempting than you usually do now. GYAH!
Y: Shut up. Now let's get the ball rolling. A review from Spectramon-san. He said your story is really nice and it is worth to wait. Wow. He must be out of his mind.
T: Why did you say that, Yuuko-chan? By the way thank you, Spectramon! I hope I won't disappoint you!
Y: Hmph. I doubt that. With that lousy writing skill of yours, you won't be able to keep your pace, Takagi-kun. And by the way, I told you to call me Lady Kinoshita!
T: *sob*
Y: Next, we have a review from Welsh93! Hmm… wait. This should be for Shimada-san. Should I call her here?
T: Do you even read my story? Shimada-san is crying in the toilet at a German restaurant now!
Y: I see. Well, I'll just read it then. He says that Yoshii-kun is an idiot and it takes a lot of time to process something like this for him. I agree! He is the dumbest student at school after all!
Next, next. We have Charlotte Eraviel. He said that Shimada-san loves Yoshii-kun so much. Well, I also could see that! I also disappointed at Yoshii-kun, the one Takagi-kun writes.
T: You are horrible, Yuuko-chaaan!
Y: Oh, the next one is from your past beta reader, Festus Flare, Takagi-kun. Hello Festus Flare! You did a great job on "Me, Minami and Hazuki, and Our Activities"! Because Takagi-kun's English sucks a lot.
T: Sorry about that…
Y: Flare-san said that something like a tsundere is a mysterious creäture. What is a tsundere, Takagi-kun?
T: Hmm… Pretty much like you. Pfft.
Y: Me?
T: Yup, tsudere tends to beat up someone they love a lot. ARGH!
Y: I didn't beat you up because I love you, fools! Huff. Having such a puny pervert partner sure is annoying. Next, we have the sole woman reviewer, I believe. It's MissFanficLover1011. She said that she hope Yoshii-kun realize his feeling soon and she said that Himeji-san and him are not fit each other. I agree. She is too good for him, no?
Next, the last one. A review from Sun Setsuna!
T: Oh! Sun senpai!
Y: He said that it is still not clear of what happen to Shimada-san and hoping that Takagi-kun can explain everything by the next chapter.
T: Ehm. Ehm. Have I done it in this chapter?
Y: Not yet. And do you know what does that mean, Takagi-kun? He wants your story to end soon.
T: Wh-what!? That's terrible Yuukocha… UGYAAAA! My eyeees!
Y: Thanks for reading this filthy story! ~
See you next time! *wave*
T: Don't forget to review!
Oh by the way. You can ask for new assistant in each next update too as long as it is not Akihisa or Minami or Hazuki-chan or her mother! And I will choose the request that appear the most in the reviews!
See yaaaa!
