here I leave the chapter
*Ring~!**Ring~!*
The sound of footsteps of the students is heard throughout the school together with the lively and boisterous air of conversations of all kinds, as the class hour was ending it was lunch time.
Lunchtime is a special time at school where students can relax and eat their lunch in order to re-energize for the rest of the school day. Students at this time are allowed to eat their bentos in their classroom or wander around the school to go to a more comfortable place. Generally, students use this time to meet their friends, chat or go to a remote place of people.
There is also the school cafeteria, where it serves as a meeting place or where to buy food for students who did not bring their lunches.
"They want to go to the arcade, I heard there are new prizes"
"I can't my mom told me to come back early"
.
"You heard the recent Arashi song"
"No, but you don't think that Sakurai-san is the most handsome"
.
"We have to have a meeting at my house this weekend and watch a movie"
"If your mom makes her special Udon, I'm in!"
.
Those were the kinds of conversations that are spoken and concur in school cafeterias.
At a table in a certain school cafeteria, a certain gray-haired boy with his friends, is leaning head down on the table with his face buried in his arms (or rather, in an arm).
"Come on Kami-yan, you know it's not that bad" Nakazawa tried to comfort his depressed friend "Besides, you already knew they were in a very bad mood"
"I know, but I didn't expect them to pass me by in an instant" Kyosuke sighs heavily "They didn't even let me say a single word."
The gray-haired boy remembers that at the end of class he went to Sayaka and Hitomi's seats to talk and go to a more private place with them only for before he could utter a word, they walked past him without giving him a second look. And they only left with Madoka following behind them after greeting him.
Seeing that Sayaka and Hitomi's actions, he now knows that this is much more serious, having nothing else to do in his classroom because he had forgotten to bring a bento, he went to the cafeteria to buy something to eat accompanied by Nakazawa and Tani, since the cafeteria was a place where they frequented.
"Well, what do you want us to say Kami-yan ~, they were very worried about you and your last scramble" Tani with the usual tone of her just eating her bento "They were all Monday until Wednesday asking Saotome-sensei about you "
Kyosuke just sighed for the umpteenth time, already knowing that he had to take action before the end of the day if he didn't want to make things worse.
"Well, I have some time, but not too much to prepare something for them to listen to me" Kyosuke already had a plan to apologize, but it was worthless if the girls keep ignoring him.
"Nakazawa, do you still have some flower shop coupons left?"
"Gomen, I ran out of them yesterday when I sold them to a third year senpai"
"Tani, please tell me if there is a discount in a music store"
"Not this week Kami-yan~"
"Ahhh, such misfortune" Kyosuke couldn't help but curse his bad luck and continue with his head down.
She knew that Sayaka and Hitomi weren't the kind of girls who cared about material things or something, but that didn't mean she couldn't get a couple of points if she brought a gift. Kyosuke turned his head to see her friends at her own table.
Sayaka, Hitomi and Madoka are still a couple of tables further, apparently they were talking and laughing among themselves. When they caught Kyosuke's gaze, Sayaka and Hitomi only looked at him for a millisecond before pouting and continuing to talk as if he didn't exist, at least Madoka was considerate of giving him a little wave from her.
'Well, at least I already apologized to Madoka' Kyosuke knew that among the three, Madoka Kaname was the most compassionate as well as the most dangerous, that tender and sweet pink-haired girl with yellow ribbons possessed a great hidden power that was very high that was only grown by Amy and partly by Kyosuke.
She 'she was the perfect wife!' Kyosuke at his young age could see that Madoka had a maternal aura that was foreign to the eyes of people and even to herself. That she was only able to grow and awaken thanks to knowing and caring for Amy.
Leaving those thoughts behind, Kyosuke began to concentrate on what to buy as a gift and have a cheap price. Kamijou Kyosuke wasn't the kind of greedy or lacking in money, he just thought that rather than some kind of quality or quantity, price was the most decisive between those two. You can buy a piece of gum still at a small price or one that is more expensive, the taste itself can vary, as long as something is less expensive and works people buy it, but if something is expensive and works better people who are able to buy it they buy it no doubt why it is more "luxurious".
"I have nothing" the gray-haired boy finished thinking only to find nothing in his mind. 'Apparently I will have to face all the difficulty with no object that makes me lower it'
"Hehe, luck Kami-yan you will need it" Nakazawa finished his bento got up from the table and raised his hand to look at her watch "Well, we should go back before you make a girl run away"
"Hehe seriously, Nakazawa you know that the word luck and Kami-yan are not in the same sentence~" Tani also finished eating just to mock his lack of luck. "And her luck is worse with girls"
"Why am I friends with you two" Kyosuke just looks at them with an annoyed look at these so-called friends of his who make fun of him.
""Why are we the only ones who don't want to beat you up for no reason and walk away from you""
Kyosuke Kamijou had a certain fame in his school, his reputation is scary and dubious, there are certain people who only hate him for being close friends with Hitomi, Sayaka and Madoka although the last two have fans who don't dare show themselves. And not to mention how the girls at his school see him, the only thing he knows (thanks to his friends and his classmates) is that they find him "a tactless, shameless idiot who should keep their distance from he".
Kyosuke still doesn't know what that means, I could only understand that they see him as a dangerous subject, but he doesn't blame them, his frequent calls to the staff room, to the live room and his visits to the hospital do not make him very different from a "delinquent". " In fact, his teachers worry that he will become one when he enters high school.
Kyosuke only sees the innumerable clouds in the sky through the windows and lets out a very long breath.
He got up and followed his friends back to his classroom.
Thursday, March 17 — Afternoon
*Ring~!**Ring~!*
With classes and the school day over for today, students may be dismissed to go home. Some have a club to attend and do activities, others just leave with their friends to go somewhere to hang out, and those that remain just go home in company or alone.
Kyosuke usually accompanies Hitomi, Sayaka and Madoka to their houses, but they didn't wait this time though Madoka tried to talk to them only to finish his words being ignored. Already saying goodbye to Nakazawa and Tani who meet a few times to go to the arcades, he starts walking to find his friends. He found them walking the same path they always take when seeing them, then Kyosuke makes his move.
Kyosuke knows that it is his chance even though Hitomi and Sayaka continue to ignore his presence, so he does an action that he never thought to do in front of a crowd of people who attended his school.
'I have to go all in, even if I have 50% or less success I have no choice'
"Hitomi Shizuukkkiiii" "Sayaka Mikkkii"
Running past them to be in front of them. He leaned in at 90 degrees.
"Gomenasaiiiiiii"
"Forgive for all to this Kamijou for being an idiot."
"For trying to breakdance and fall on top of you"
"For carelessly jumping over bars and ending up hanging with almost no pants while being watched from below"
"For ending up with my head in a tree and having you guys pull my head out of there"
"For being a bad childhood husb-"
*Punch**Punch*
""Stop saying embarrassing things, idiot/silly!""
"Argghhh"
Kyosuke falls in pain from a double blunt blow from two girls with red faces.
"What's going through your head, idiot, and in front of people!" Sayaka has a red face and a vein on her forehead wanting to hit him again.
"Kyosuke silly fool!" Hitomi had it worse with the redder face.
"Murmur!"
"Murmur!"
The students around them began to mutter and point at them, making Sayaka's and Hitomi's blushes worsen along with their tempers.
"Gomenasai" And Kyosuke still on the ground began to do a dogeza "Hitomi-sama and Sayaka-sama ple-"
*Punch**Punch*
Only to receive another double whammy.
And the whispers grow louder
"Ouch"
"Whose fault is it idiot"
Currently, Kyosuke is on a reclining bench, recovering from a few punches from this blue and green haired duo.
Madoka next to him checking him to see if he didn't have a bruise
Sayaka yelling at him and berating him for his actions
And Hitomi just nods but with an annoyed look.
"Gomen, I just wanted you to talk to me again"
"I understand, but you shouldn't have embarrassed yourself in front of almost the whole school."
"It's a small price if I can make them not ignore me and listen to me!" Kyosuke only showed his determination to fix things with his friends.
Sayaka and Hitomi just looked at each other and sighed before turning back to him like that and staring into his eyes.
Kyosuke seeing that they let him say his words
"I want to say that I'm sorry that I can't contact you, for being insensitive for not responding to your messages and for being a bad friend for letting you worry about me"
"So I'll do whatever it takes to make them forgive me for making them worry too much about this troublesome Kamijou."
…
"Ahhhhh" Hitomi and Sayaka will just let out another sigh.
With another look Hitomi spoke
"Okay, but you'll have a lot of explaining to do"
"Count on that"
"And we want the whole story, not a part, all" Sayaka put a lot of emphasis on the last word.
Kyosuke shudders at Sayaka's words. He did not want them to know about that world, besides that they did not believe it, he swore to do everything possible so that none of them would ever know about those creatures. Even if they take it as a lie or fabrication to omit a part of his story not to tell them, he would take it to his grave, he would never talk about it, even if they torture him, he would never talk about that world.
"Gomenasai, but I can't tell you everything"
...
The atmosphere got awkward
...
"I-I ca-can't talk to you about many things, but I don't want to lie to you either, I would feel like the most despicable human being if I lied to one of you just once."
"So please understand that I can't talk about certain things, I don't distrust any of you, in no way would I do that, they are the people who have been with me since I can remember, from my happiest moments to the most difficult ones, they were there, even when i fell to the bottom at the worst of times. So please I beg you to trust me, I promise you that it's not something that I can't fix with my own hands, so rest assured that I won't go in a bad way or do bad things and even if I did I would tell you. In an instant why would I never do something that would hurt you, your parents and my parents I would never ever do, I promise!"
Kyosuke closed his eyes and said everything he felt he should say, what he himself felt was right to say.
Kyosuke made that promise to himself a long time ago and he will keep it, he did not want any loved one to end up harmed by a person or by one of those monsters, he was going to protect and save everyone, even those he never knew about. His existence those unknown people who wanted or never asked for help he would give them a hand to support and lean on. He would keep that promise to people he knew and his obligation to those people he never met.
…
Silence reigned, no one spoke, only the wind made noise, the leaves moving and the cars passing by on the road.
…
"""Idiot!/dumb!/irresponsible!"""
Kyosuke felt like he was embraced from three sides, but each felt the same strength and strong affection. His friends were hugging him. And he returned the hug with the same affection and strength
He would protect those smiles, he had to do it, that's the obligation he put on himself.
"You promise is not something dangerous" Madoka
"It's dangerous but not that kind"
"It's something that affects you financially" Hitomi
"It is not something that makes me lose my money except where I lose my money myself"
"It's something that affects you physically or mentally" Sayaka
"In my physique nothing more than injuries" Kyosuke only said a true answer but not the real answer.
The hug continued for a while longer, how long? That matters.
The girls began to break apart, Kyosuke saw tears trickling from her eyes to his chin.
He reached out with the fingers of his right hand, the only arm he could currently move, to each of his faces, to wipe away his tears.
At the end of these actions a smile formed on his lips and laughing among themselves, they wiped away his tears that he had not noticed and he smiled too.
With all of them with a smile on their faces, they began to walk in a group like they always do to go to their respective houses together.
Laughing and talking about anything like this group of childhood friends always do.
gomenasai or gomen: is to apologize
Dogeza: a form of deep apology or to express the desire for a favor from said person. The person has to kneel down and put their head on the ground
Well take care I say goodbye
Bye.
