Me and A Certain Stupid Guy and A Certain Voice In The Past
First Chapter Part III
17 August 2012; Hyougo Prefecture; Nishi Ward, Kobe City; Fumizuki High School; Class 2-F's Classroom; 4:30PM – 4:35PM
"KILL THE BETRAYER!"
"YES!"
"YES!"
"YES!"
The some members of the inquisition group of masked students wielding various deadly weapons, the FFF, were running in the corridor as it seemed they finally found the betrayer elsewhere. Their influence into the school is really evident since its establishment...
"Those guys are really active on chasing Sugawa. That was some nice change here considering Aki is no longer the target, right, Mizuki?" said Minami as she and the others are witnessing such everyday event in their lives as student. Of course, Minami had once underwent such judgment by this group because of a certain incident she had done with Akihisa, more than a month ago.
"Yeah. They are doing their best to find Sugawa... I'm worried about him." answered Mizuki who actually expressed what she felt towards the incident.
"Don't worry, sooner or later, he will be captured," said the red-haired class representative of Class 2-F, Yuuji Sakamoto, who was rather annoyed by the exaggerated actions of their classmates.
"I think so, too," said Hideyoshi and then he continued, "I hope Akihisa should not get involved in this."
Hideyoshi already said this, mainly because Akihisa is always involved on these kinds of incidents where FFF became concerned considering their goals. FFF's reasoning can be a bit tedious at times to them, but considering the vision of the school, especially its truest intentions, the group's motives can be understandable on one perspective. Like his older sister, he is aware of those intentions because he may or may not be also a Magus as well.
Then Minami had her eyes on Yuuji and curiously asked:
"By the way, Sakamoto, are we really going to Kirishima's house tomorrow?"
"Yeah... It is for our preparation for the next set of examinations next week. Well, I have to tell Akihisa and Muttsulini about this, so they might come too."
"Akihisa must have come to us too. He needs our help." said Mizuki in a cheerful tone.
"You are right, Mizuki. He needs to be improve more than what he did in the previous examinations, just like what we did in his house." responded Minami in the same tone as well.
"Yeah... You really like to do it for Akihisa... Shimada, Himeji... It is quite a good thing my older sister who actually had given him such lessons before."
／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
"You are wrong! I want to know more about Aki! Yoshii's really disgusting, but Aki's my type!"
"Oh, is that true, Miss Tamano?"
"Yes, I do!"
In front of the classroom's door is a certain female Class 2-D student wearing pigtails, Miki Tamano, who had eventually been interrogated by Class 2-F's Akira Tanaka about a certain issue regarding the chase to Ryou Sugawa.
"Then our main target isn't the leader, but Yoshii himself! It must be reported to the other members of the cult!"
"Eh? I don't understand...!"
／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
Yuuji immediately took a facepalm upon anyone of them hearing it.
"That idiot!"
"It is trouble once again for Akihisa. Trouble really bothered him anyways," said Hideyoshi who was rather annoyed with the turnaround of the events.
"Now, I'm really worried for Akihisa... I must find him right now..."
"Yeah, me too, Mizuki. Let's go!"
Worried, the only female Class 2-F students had immediately left the classroom in a hurry... unless if one counts Hideyoshi as a female as well, even if Hideyoshi was trying to say something...
"W-Wait, Himeji, Shimada!"
"That Akihisa! He has been involved once again in a romantic relationship with someone else other than Himeji and Shimada..."
"Yeah..."
As Mizuki and Minami as well as the inquisition group had already left the scene around the two male student, the topic had changed from FFF now chasing Akihisa to anything else.
"By the way, speaking of your sister, Hideyoshi, can you let her to join our study session in Shouko's home?"
"Eh? That was rather surprising for you to ask that, Yuuji. But why do you ask about it?"
Well, I just thought we need her help to improve ourselves as well... Don't worry, I'll be asking Kubo about this too."
"I see... I hope my older sister doesn't have a schedule on that time."

17 August 2012; Hyougo Prefecture; Nishi Ward, Kobe City; Fumizuki High School; Fumizuki High School Old Building 2nd Floor Corridor;; 4:35PM – 4:45PM
At some time, Akihisa and Yuuko had fixed things that had been scattered on the floor around them.
"I-I'm sorry, Yoshii. I didn't even notice you there."
"Hm…" said Akihisa as he shakes his head, while putting the test papers into the boxes, "I-I should be the one to apologize since I did careless things here that I didn't notice you too…Hm? These are…"
Both Akihisa and Yuuko notices the papers they had been putting back into the said boxes)
"…the questions for the Major Examination for the First Trimester… You didn't notice these…?"
Akihisa shakes his head as he said, "Ironman... I mean, Mr. Nishimura just told me to bring these to the vault on the first floor that I didn't bother to say something about what's inside..."
He then looked carefully at the questions as he speaks once again with a smile.
"...which means if I see these… If I know the questions in advance…! Even I could possibly get a 100% score!
"But that would be cheating if you do that."
"Y-Yes, I know. Besides, if I suddenly get such a high score, everyone in this school, including you, will suspect right away."
"You are right. But I thought you will actually do that."
Akihisa smiles shyly as he asked.
"W-Why should I, Miss Kinoshita?"
Yuuko then shrugs her shoulders out of her worry.
"You are still a 'fool' after all, Akihisa Yoshii..."
"Eh? So you too really as well," said Akihisa as he expressed disbelief in Yuuko's words.
"What do you expect? The society knows you very well as the Ultimate Idiot. So, that's expected from you."
With that, Akihisa felt annoyed, which made him to respond with a sigh.
"All right, All right, you win for now."
"Ah— Are you losing that easily?"
Yuuko was rather surprised with his actions... or rather, she felt like he seemed to only act as an 'idiot' that she believed he is.
"I'm just used to being called like that by most others. I'm not really expecting you to call me as such… Or maybe I'm not really used for me to have you calling me as that…"
"Hm… Do you…?"
Akihisa looked away as Yuuko was curiously asking something, "that's not something we should talk about right now… I'll have to fix this before someone might come here out of his anger…"
Akihisa then proceeded from focusing to Yuuko to fixing the problem in front of him
"Who?"
"Music sheet of the school anthem..." Akihisa had interrupted Yuuko by showing some pieces of a music sheet, "are these yours by any chance?"
"Ah! Yes! These are mine!"
"Here."
Akihisa then handed over the music sheet to Yuuko who was still surprised with the change in topic. After all, she immediately thought about her discovery of him being a Magus when he says something similar to Magecraft.
"Thank you."
"No problem—"
As the two finishes putting the papers into the boxes, Akihisa added something...
"So the rumors may be true, I think…"
"Eh?"
Akihisa then stands up, followed by lending Yuuko's hand for her to stand up as well.
"Miss Kirishima."
"Prez?"
"When she went to our class for Yuuji, had also told your brother Hideyoshi about your class participation in a promotional movie next Monday, and you are going to lead the class… Isn't that right? I will watch it if that would be really true."
"Ah! You will?!"
"Y-Yeah!" Akihisa answered with a smile, "not only me, but also our friends as well. We will cheer you there."
Yuuko then proceeded to speak in weaker voice because of her worry...
"So even Prez's Class 2-F friends had already known about this… I'm in real danger…"
"W-What is it, Miss Kinoshita," said Akihisa who noticed Yuuko being worried.
As Akihisa takes a look at the worried Yuuko, the latter jumped back in surprise.
"Ah— Nothing! It is nothing important really!"
"Hm… By the way, thanks for helping, Miss Kinoshita."
"Then, where are you going now, Yoshii?"
"As an order from Mr. Nishimura, I'll be putting these boxes into the vault on the first floor," said Akihisa who, along with his summoned being, lifts three large boxes that contain the test papers, he, who lifts the two remaining large boxes, is about to part ways with Yuuko, "after all, I'm the Punishment Inspector. Well then, I'm—"
Yuuko interrupted Akihisa, even before he turned away, by holding his arm with her free right hand. So that person he talked about must be Mr. Nishimura… I thought it would be about his capabilities as a Magus... After all, he is a Punishment Inspector of this school… "Wait…"
"Eh? What is it, Miss Kinoshita?"
"If you may… c-can I help you here?"
"What do you mean?"
"It is just my way of giving thanks to you in finding the music sheet…" said Yuuko as she looked away from him trying to thank him somehow.
"Really?"
Akihisa pauses as he thinks for a short while, then...
"Well then, if you insist…" Akihisa then gives Yuuko one of the three boxes that his summoned being lifted...
"Here!"
"Are you really stupid?!" Yuuko felt shocked as Akihisa gave her one of those boxes, "you do seem to not have a good common sense in any situation that anyone can just easily call you a 'fool'!"
"I may have been called a 'fool' for many reasons, but I know and believe that someone, like you, can able to handle things properly and correctly."
"But that's…!"
Yuuko felt slightly flustered after she realized Akihisa proceeded to tell about Magecraft...
"I guess you're right."
"You had been chosen by the headmaster because they might be thinking the same thing, hadn't you? I mean… you are a model student after all."
Yuuko widened her eyes as Akihisa directly said those words.
Now, Yoshii actually thought that I can do anything… She then looks away from Akihisa out of her embarrassment, "whatever, Yoshii…"
"I don't get you right now but…" Akihisa then proceeded to give her a warm smile,"shall we go? Let's bring these boxes to the vault, or Mr. Nishimura might be angry at me for bringing these late."
"Y-Yeah," said Yuuko followed by a certain thought as she bowed down.
I still haven't talk about that certain matter. I still do not know how to approach him... I will be talking to him about something else then...
／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
While they are leaving the 2nd floor corridor, Takashi and Kouji are actually spying on Akihisa and Yuuko, thinking something about them.
"So, it is not only Shimada, Himeji or Kinoshita whom Yoshii got attention of, but also Kinoshita's sister. He sure is really approachable despite being the Ultimate Idiot."
Then Kouji, on Takashi's right side, felt determined as he tries to call someone on the phone.
"I have a plan here, Katou… I won't let Yoshii interfere my feelings with Kinoshita's sister."
"After failing with The Most Beautiful?..." said Takashi who noticed the change in topic once again as he gives a fakely cough, "for now, let's just watch them carefully so we would know where they will be going next."
RING! RING!
Kouji immediately picked the phone he already holds, "yes? Tanaka?"
"Report. We've obtained new information. Squad F has interacted with Class 2-D's Tamano. She says that she has no interest in Sugawa and says that she is interested in Aki," said Akira Tanaka who was on the other side of the phone. He then shouts loud, "I REPEAT. CLASS 2-D's MIKI TAMANO HAS INTEREST IN AKIHISA YOSHII! CLASS 2-D's MIKI TAMANO HAS INTEREST IN AKIHISA YOSHII! FIND HIM IMMEDIATELY!"
"Roger! But Tanaka, I had a better plan about that…"
"I'm hearing it, Yokomizo. What is it?"
A certain plan was then made for some reason.

17 August 2012; Hyougo Prefecture; Nishi Ward, Kobe City; Fumizuki High School; Fumizuki High School Old Building 1st Floor-2nd Floor Stairway; 4:45PM – 4:50PM
As Akihisa, his summoned being and Yuuko, while bringing many boxes that contained the test papers for the first trimester, are heading towards the vault, which is on the basement of the old school building, the two students are talking about something…
"…Unfortunately, we can't do that, even if it costs some property damage to the school, like you and Sakamoto did in the Cool Summer Festival." [1]
"Why you can't, Miss Kinoshita?"
"The higher school officials, especially the headmaster, had told the three major committees that we should not be able to stop any Summoners and Tests (ST) Battle until the aftermath, which is, for us, not a good thing…" said Yuuko as she felt slight anger about the events that had happpened before, "especially the likes of you are the ones participating on those battles…"
"Ah!" Akihisa laughs weakly about what she had just said, "well… t-that may be true."
"It is actually true…" Yuuko slightly bows down, making Akihisa looked at her, "that's why our seniors, President Saegusa, Miss Watanabe, and Mr. Juumonji and the other previous major committees' Presidents, since the Exams and Summoners Battle (ESB) system was made, were very insistent that they really wanted to do something to change the rules of the school, especially those concerning the ESB System."
"I see… So then, what had been the actions of the Student Council about this?"
17 August 2012; Hyougo Prefecture; Nishi Ward, Kobe City; Fumizuki High School; Fumizuki High School Old Building Infirmary's Corridor; 4:50PM – 4:55PM
Yuuko stopped walking as they finally reached the first floor...
"President Saegusa told us that it is better to wait until an important event will happen at some time later on… From that time, we will be doing a lot of actions to fix the problems…" Yuuko then proceeded to look at him carefully, "including their recommendation to have you, Akihisa Yoshii, being the Punishment Inspector, to join the Disciplinary Committee led by Miss Watanabe, despite you being in Class 2-F."
"No way, Miss Kinoshita. I won't."
"You will!"
Akihisa felt slightly surprised as he looked at her. He then stop walking as well...
"…Hm..." Akihisa looked away and scratched his head, "that's surprising… Then, can you give some time to think about that, Miss Kinoshita?"
"Yes, I can. But why?"
"There are some things I want to do before I will think about your offer… I can't just tell to anyone about those things though."
Akihisa looked away from Yuuko, and smiled weakly.
"..."
"I-I understand… I-I don't clearly understand…"
"Don't worry… Once unexpected things happened, I might possibly join the Disciplinary Committee afterwards, right, Miss Kinoshita?"
"Maybe… But what do you mean by unexpected things?"
"I don't know what could be those unexpected events that would come to my life as an idiot later…" [2]
"Eh? I don't get it, Yoshii."
Akihisa slighty smiled as he continued speaking.
"Well… It is definitely hard to explain right now. But for now… I must enjoy myself being an idiot to everyone…"
Akihisa ended up saying what he said with a serious face...
Few seconds after, Yuuko immediately sighed, with her being aware of his abilities as a Magus. In all of their meetings after that one before, they had never talked about the matters regarding the Magecraft.
She begins to speak again in a formal way...
"Ah... I hope you do not mean about your status as a Magus."
"...Hm..."
"I already asked you before about it. You are capable of controlling magical energy like you did before on those silvery threads back then."
"..."
Akihisa remained silent for some short while as he seemed to think something.
Yuuko then temporarily puts down the box Akihisa gave to her to bring to the vault. After she did that, she immediately raised her right hand straightforward in front of her near Akihisa while her left hand supports her right arm.
Few seconds after, a small black orb of energy from unknown source appeared on the tip of her right index finger, as she said...
"Do not worry, Akihisa Yoshii. I am also a Magus too."
After hearing her words...
"I see..." said Akihisa as he gave her a smile, "as a Magus myself, you are someone I can rely on in determining the future of this world."
"How? Determining the future... of this world?"
Upon hearing it, Yuuko clearly did not understand what was he meant.
"... by formally recognizing the Magi to the human society... and to improve the future of this world by building connections between science and magic."
"Akihisa Yoshii..."
On her thoughts, she already thought that what he thinks right now is merely impossible to do. After all, Magi, especially those in the Mage's Association, tried their best to not to show magic and their researches to the public. Especially, such researches can cause harm to normal humans of the society.
Furthermore, as taught by her mentor, if one commit a crime with magic, heretic hunters of a certain church will come after that person.
...That just means that whatever one use magic for, lack of care will create enemies.
"Seriously, Akihisa Yoshii, are you really not stupid?"
Akihisa bowed down despite his smile that was clearly not as warm as before.
"It is fine if anyone can call me stupid because of this dream that I have... Through my parents who are working in the Mage's Association, I already knew that harsh reality. So an attempt to connect the two worlds might be impossible, but a childish dream like I have should have made that possible."
Yuuko clearly cannot believe on what he says just now.
――――But still...
"Akihisa Yoshii... You are really a stupid idiot..."
...she may have started to believe that his dream can become a reality some day.
"The one of a kind..."
"I know..." said Akihisa who was then looking at Yuuko as he proceeded in his normal voice, "so… Is there anything more you want to tell to me?"
FWOOSH!
Akihisa was somehow pulled back to a certain wall near a certain first-year classroom for some unknown reason, making him fall on the ground.
"Ah!"
"Are you a drama artist?!"
"Ow..."
As his vision returned to focusing Yuuko, he realized what made him to pull back.
That black orb that was once summoned onto Yuuko's right index finger was gone.
That was some powerful offensive ability she had, he thought, "Hey, why are you saying that, Miss Kinoshita?!"
"You were acting clearly strange since we met here this time, Akihisa Yoshii!"
"Don't take it seriously… I'm just wondering about something myself when you had offered me a position as a member of the Disciplinary Committee… That's why I opened to you about what you had told me before... That's all… Anyway, is there really anything more you want to tell to me?"
Well… To this idiot… Somehow… I can't believe he could say such… What does he mean about it? Now that I think about it, maybe he could help now about something... She thought as felt worried about something right now more than his dream and the offer to him to join the Disciplinary Committee,.
"C-Can you meet me tomorrow elsewhere?"
"Hm…"
"What is it?"
"Maybe you need some help, I think."
FWOOSH!
"Ah!"
Yuuko immediately fired another of that black orb from her right index figure towards his summoned being... dropping the score from 187 to 105. Then subsequent black orb projectiles had been fired towards that being, who was rather running in circles around them so Yuuko will be missed.
Akihisa felt hurt due to his Punishment Inspector status. After all, when a student is given the title of Punishment Inspector, that student's summoned being gains the ability to touch objects in the real world. Also, when the Being of a Punishment Inspector is damaged, the pain it will feel will be transmitted to its user as well for some reason.
"How do you know?!"
"Ow! A-Am I that really right?! Y-You have been really acting strangely all this time, Miss Kinoshita.
Yuuko immediately stopped firing those black orbs on her target.
"Acting strangely too? You noticed?"
"You are kind of predictable, you know."
"Ah!" Yuuko looked away from Akihisa, and slightly flustered.
Akihisa also looked away from Yuuko and smiled shyly, "besides, this person with me all this time is really quite prideful, arrogant and less cute than Hideyoshi—Woah!"
"What did you say?!"
Yuuko throws Akihisa's summoned being to his forehead out of anger, but she eventually felt happy at the same time.
Akihisa fell on the floor once again, but somehow, decides to laugh instead of being hurt.
"T-That hurts, Miss Kinoshita!"
FWOOSH!
Yuuko was rather smiling genuinely as she immediately fired those small black orbs summoned from her right index finger. However, unlike before that are hitting him comparable to a human punch, those black orbs are hitting him like a small ball played in a ping pong game.
"Say that again and I'm not going to forgive you, stupid Yoshii!"
FWOOSH!
Akihisa who was clearly hurt while showing the weak smile on his face...
"H-Hey, you are hurting me a lot!"
...but since Yuuko cannot stop throwing those weaker orbs to him, in the end, he just sighs.
Maybe, this is the way she might released her sadness she felt right now. Well, I should have help her after all. Well, I will be expecting her hand sooner. Now that I think about it, I cannot still believe I will be saying that dream that I have to someone like her instead of anyone in Class 2-F.
"Take this...!"
FWOOSH!
"H-Hey!"
The more Akihisa talk with her, the more he understand this is the real Yuuko Kinoshita, and that the Kinoshita in front of other students is just a mask she puts on.
After all, that's something Akihisa had realized already whenever they met.
／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
17 August 2012; Hyougo Prefecture; Nishi Ward, Kobe City; Fumizuki High School; Fumizuki High School Old Building Basement; 5:00PM – 5:10PM
At this time, Akihisa now lifts all of the three boxes of test papers, including the one he gave to Yuuko previously, while his summoned being lifts the remaining two.
"I see… Then, I'll try my best to help you there, Miss Kinoshita."
"R-Really?"
"Yeah. Besides, are you sure we should be meeting there? That was quite a unique place for our meeting really."
"Don't worry, Yoshii. I was rather interested in telling you more about a certain story half a decade ago that has something to do with that place other than the reason we need to meet there."
"Yeah, sure." said Akihisa as he thought, I really wanted to do this as well...
"By the way, t-thank you, Yoshii. But… I'll be only requesting a favor to you just once, and I'll never be doing this again."
She said that last sentence in a strict voice.
"Hm… Well… let's see about that… Honestly, I don't have any idea on what am I going to do there tomorrow…"
"It will be a surprise, Yoshii."
Yuuo then looked at the location of the vault.
"Look. Are they…?"
"Miss Himeji? Minami?"
Eventually, as the two students and Akihisa's summoned being are about to arrive to the vault, they saw three people who had waited for Akihisa to arrive at the location. As the two had finally reached the place…
"Good afternoon again, Akihisa."
"Nice to see you here again, Aki."
Both Mizuki and Minami are greeting Akihisa with warm smiles.
"Miss Himeji, Minami… Why are you here—?"
"Hmmm..."
A certain black-haired male teacher interrupted their conversation. With that, Akihisa and his summoned being dropped the boxes they lifted inside the vault.
"Ah, I'm sorry… I'm done here, am I not, Iron— Mr. Nishimura?"
Souichirou Nishimura responded with a nod as he immediately noticed something...
"Mr. Nishimura..."
Usually, Akihisa and Yuuji called the teacher with a nickname Ironman, as he is well-known for his unmatched physical strength among anyone in this school. Then, he continued to speak...
"Well then, you will see them again when you take the major examinations. Start preparing for it now. You too, Himeji, Shimada and Class 2-A's Kinoshita."
The three girls immediately nodded from Souichirou's advice.
"Y-Yes. T-Thank you."
"Well then, let's leave here."
17 August 2012; Hyougo Prefecture; Nishi Ward, Kobe City; Fumizuki High School; Fumizuki High School Old Building 1st Floor Corridor; 5:10PM – 5:20PM
As Souichirou Nishimura leaves the four behind…
"By the way, why are you here in this place, Miss Himeji, Minami?"
"Well, you promised us to go to the movies tonight and eat crepes at Miss Shimizu's café, didn't you?"
"Yeah… We had decided that we had been doing it in order for us to relax before having a study session at Miss Kirishima house… So we decided to wait in the basement just in case you might forget about it."
As Akihisa saw their smiles, he immediately smiled weakly...
"I see…" said Akihisa who then nodded and speaks again, "well, I really have not forgotten about those…"
Mizuki smiled genuinely and then proceeded to talk to someone else...
"What are you doing here, Yuuko?"
"I just happen to help him in bringing some of these boxes here…" said Yuuko as she puffed her chest by shrugging her shoulder, "but in the end, he decided to let himself do the job…"
With that, Akihisa laughed weakly about this.
"Ah, Akihisa! Why don't you let me help you do that, while you let Yuuko do that for you…" said Mizuki with an angry expression.
"Well… I won't let you do it, Miss Himeji…" said Akihisa who looked away from a slightly angry Mizuki
"But I can do it too!"
"Don't worry, Mizuki. It just happened that the boxes are heavy for you to lift properly."
As Minami said those words, Akihisa then immediately nodded in agreement...
"Yes, Minami's right. At least, Minami can do it properly since—"
"Yeah! Yeah! I have small breasts so I can able to lift any of the boxes properly!"
She said those words as she immediately wrestles Akihisa's right hand, making him to feel hurt, much to Mizuki and Yuuko's surprise.
"Right! Right! That's not what I wanted to say, Minami!"
As Yuuko hears Minami's words, she realized something, making her to glance at the face of Akihisa.
"Don't tell me… about the reason you didn't stop me from doing so is that…"
Akihisa shook his head seriously and said.
"N-No… My reason has nothing to do with the similarities between you and Minami."
Yuuko is now glaring at him.
"I'm serious about it. Really… At least until halfway…"
"Hmph... Who knows?"
Yuuko haughtily turned away from Akihisa, followed by Mizuki slightly laughing at it.
"THERE HE IS! THE HERETIC OF THE CULT!"
Eventually, Kouji Yokomizo points to Akihisa as he, Takashi and four other members of FFF appeared in front of the other students. After all, he is the new target of the inquisition group thanks to Miki Tamano's cooperation.
"Me again?!"
"Akihisa Yoshii? Heretic... of the cult?"
"There they go again."
"Nothing changes from them."
"BROTHERS, CAPTURE HIM!"
"What do you mean, Asakura?!" Akihisa starts to run away from the location of the FFF and the three girls, "why me this time?!"
Masahiro Asakura, along with the other members of FFF but one, immediately follows Akihisa on his trails.
"IT DOESN'T MATTER, YOSHII!... BROTHERS, DON'T LET HIM GET AWAY! LET THE BACKUP FORCES FORM THE ASSAULT SQUADS! WE CAN'T LET THAT GUY RAMPAGE FURTHER!"
"BUT WAIT! I THINK TAMANO SAID AKI THERE! YOSHII'S REALLY DISGUSTING, BUT AKI'S JUST MY TYPE!"
"ME TOO! DIE, YOSHII!"
"I'm sorry… I'll have to leave here for a while!" Akihisa runs away from the five raging members of FFF and especially the three female students, "I don't want to die here!"
With that, the three female students, namely Mizuki and Minami of Class 2-F and Yuuko of Class 2-A remained, as well as another one student that decided to stay with them.
"So that's what happened to Yoshii everyday..."
As she said those words, Mizuki and Minami responded with smiles.
"Ah, now that you are here, Yuuko, will you join us tomorrow at Shouko's house? It will be fun studying."
"Mizuki is right. We had thought of lending your hand to us in studying, along with Aki, Kirishima and the others."
Yuuko thinks since both she and Akihisa had plans for tomorrow...
"T-Tomorrow...? Have you told Yoshii about this?"
"We had just thought about it when Akihisa had left to help Mr. Nishimura on that previous work."
"I see..." Yuuko somehow felt sad, I don't think Yoshii might be able to comply tomorrow... Studying is important for him right now. But there is really no one other than him whom I could ask about that... What should I do? Besides, why am I asking him about that one then?
Yuuko somehow felt flustered thinking about her actions concerning Akihisa.
Why am I asking him that? I know that he is a Magus... That's all.
"Miss Kinoshita!"
Eventually, that one student immediately shouts, creating attention to the three girls.
"Eh? W-What is it? Who are you?"
"I am Kouji Yokomizo from the same class as Himeji and Shimada..." said Kouji who was rather sounded panicky for some reason.
"Actually, erm... Well... A-Actually, I like you a lot, Miss Kinoshita! Please go out with me!"
"Huh?!" Yuuko, Mizuki and Minami felt rather shocked with Kouji's words, especially Yuuko, who was rather flustered with Kouji's words.
A confession?! I'm happy to receive his feelings, but I don't intend to go out with anyone at this point, and I'm not too familiar with him. I'm sorry, but I will have to reject him. It will be best if I can reject him without hurting him… She thought.
"Well… I'm happy to receive your feelings," said Yuuko as she smiled. Afterwards, she immediately speaks in strict voice.
"But…"
"T-That's…!"
"I'm sorry, Yokomizo."
Kouji was rather downed by Yuuko's words. This is despite the fact that he is an FFF member.
"Then, please tell me the kind of person you like, Miss Kinoshita! I'll try and become the kind of guy you like and make you—"
Yokomizo continued to bug around, making Yuuko feeling annoyed.
"Even so… I'm sorry."
"W-Why…?"
As she tried to actually think of a reason, she said...
"I am really sorry, Yokomizo. But right now, I am only interested with someone else..."
