Since I discovered that I was in the world of a light novel, I had planned how I wanted the path I was going to take to be, of course, although several things happened that were out of my control, in the end, it could be said that I obtained a similar result to the one that I originally wanted.

Therefore, once I managed to enter Sobu, I thought that my life would remain the same as in middle School. Of course, that's what I thought when I was 6 years old, now there was a variable that I couldn't predict at that time, by that I mean Yumiko.

Don't get me wrong, but I thought that once we managed to get into Sobu, Yumiko would form her own clique, and I would become a memory of the past.

I couldn't be more wrong. Of course, in the first days I thought it would be like that since Yumiko sent me some messages saying that she would have lunch with her friend, so I assumed that everything was going normally. We communicated through messages because we were in different classrooms, and it was rare that we saw each other on those days.

But a few days later Yumiko came to my classroom to have lunch together, this surprised me a lot, and I think most of my classmates were also surprised since Yumiko had started to gain fame for some reason, which she was known for by various students.

So, it was hard for me to turn down her offer.

It was amazing how with a simple order from Yumiko, my classmate gave up his desk so that Yumiko could put it in front of mine, and we could have lunch. This was definitely the Yumiko that is described in the story.

Of course, the attitude she has towards other people is none of my business, after all, I don't care about other people.

Although when we talk, her attitude becomes more peaceful again, and she in turn reminds me of how she interacted with Hayama, but these are just meaningless thoughts that come up.

Yumiko told me that during the first few days she had made a friend from her section and another friend from a different section.

Hearing this was a bit disconcerting as I didn't know much about what the characters relationships had been like during their first year but hearing the names of her friends gave me the idea that everything went as it should.

Yumiko met Ebina on her first day of school, and Yuigahama a few days later, but she didn't go into much detail, she just told me that she gets along very well with the two of them, so they spend lunch together.

This was totally understandable, Yumiko didn't have to give me any explanation, after all, it's her decision who she has lunch with and not that I have a problem with that.

I thought that this time would be an exception, but she told me that some days of the week she would come to my classroom to have lunch together.

When Yumiko said this, several of my classmates seemed surprised since it was something strange that a girl as Yumiko would relate to someone like me.

But with a single look from Yumiko, all of my classmates looked away from us.

And although I tried to tell her that it was not necessary for her to come to my classroom, she was very insistent that in the end I ended up reluctantly accepting.

Of course, after a few days the rumors began that Yumiko could be dating a strange boy, but since neither Yumiko nor I paid attention to them, in a matter of days they forgot about the rumor.

I also refused to accompany her back home, since I wanted Yumiko to strengthen her friendship, so she reluctantly accepted my decision.

But this only generated the fact that now we communicate by text messages. Yumiko sends me too many messages in the afternoons and nights, so it was common for us to stay talking either by calls or messages about any kind of thing.

This was for the best, Yumiko was someone who had no friends before, so she should take this opportunity to deepen the friendship she has with Ebina and Yuigahama.

In short, the days that Yumiko would come to my classroom, she would notify me by text message.

During middle school before I met Yumiko, I used to stay at my desk for lunch, but now, on days when Yumiko was hanging out with her friends, I had a favorite lunch spot.

"Tsurumi, can you read page 72 of the book?"

Sensei's words brought me out of my thoughts.

We are in biology class, and since they were topics that were not important, I took advantage of that time to be in my thoughts.

''Of course.'' I said in a normal tone of voice.

I opened my book to the suggested page and stood up to read.

''Wild animals when they are in a critical state usually have two types of reactions, the first is to prioritize their life, so they will seek to flee at the first opportunity, and the second is that they will enter a state of fury. Therefore, when you come across an injured wild animal, you must be very careful because you do not know which of the two reactions it will have.''

After saying this, I proceeded to sit down. The information mentioned in the book seems quite useless to me since there are no wild animals in cities, so it is somewhat irrelevant in my opinion.

After a few seconds, the bell rang indicating lunchtime.

Yumiko has a habit of sending me a message every time she comes to my classroom. Since I didn't have any unread messages, so I can go to my usual place for lunch.

So, I grabbed my lunch and started walking.

After a short walk through the school, I reached the roof.

This was the place I decided to use for lunch as it was a quiet place, and I could have a great view.

Although at first it was difficult for me to access it since the door seemed to be stuck, but there is nothing that a kick does not solve.

So, I use the roof as a regular shelter when I want to sleep during class hours. After all, since I don't have the need to take first places, I can skip some courses.

Opening the door, I could see that it was empty as usual.

Nothing better than having a little peace at lunchtime.

Use the ladder on the water tower to get to the empty space next to it. It was spacious enough for several people, but it was also a comfortable place to take a nap.

I opened my lunch and started eating it.

Since I entered Sobu High, mom got a schedule change that gives her the opportunity to go to work a little later, so she usually prepares our lunches, and some days she only gives us money to eat in the cafeteria. In short, an exemplary mother.

So, since my mother is in charge of the kitchen, I can now use that extra time to go for a run and get some exercise in a nearby park.

As I was thinking about it, I heard the door open.

I guess she took her time getting here.

There was no need to check who the newcomer was, after all, there was only one person besides me who usually comes to this place.

After a few seconds, Kawasaki was in front of me.

"Took your time, huh?" I said sarcastically

"You're not the one to tell me that. Plus, some days you don't even show up here!"

She's right, since the days I can't come, it's because I'm having lunch with Yumiko. Rather, Yumiko forces me to have lunch with her.

"Well, it's not as if it's my fault either, since it's because…"

Kawasaki interrupted me. "You don't need to explain to me, surely you have lunch in the cafeteria or something like that."

She's right, but as I say, a half-truth is still a truth.

So, I didn't press the issue.

Kawasaki also sat down and took out her lunch.

So, we ate in silence.

"By the way, Tsurumi, have you ever thought of coming to visit the academy?" Kawasaki asked.

"It's not that I don't go, I actually went last week." Since I don't have to go anymore, I usually visit at least once a week.

"And why didn't you tell me!?" Kawasaki got a little upset upon hearing my answer.

"Not that I have a way to do it, do I?"

Kawasaki seemed to relax after thinking about the words I said.

I guess the most feasible thing would be to ask for your phone number.

''Kawasaki, give me your number.'' The best attack is a direct one.

''¡Huh!?''

She seemed pretty shocked, I guess I was too direct, but it's fun to do.

''Since I have no way of contacting you, I thought that if I had your number, it would be easier to tell you what days I plan to go.''

''I guess you're right.''

Kawasaki took out her cell phone, so I also took out mine to record the other's contact.

After a few seconds, we both had our numbers registered.

"Then the day I come to visit; I'll send you a message beforehand."

Kawasaki seemed happy for some reason.

Guess that though we've known each other for a long time, I still can't understand her.

The bell rang signaling the end of lunchtime, so it's time to head back to our classrooms.

As usual, Kawasaki was the first to descend, this was decided after our little incident.

Flashback

I guess it's time to get back to our classrooms.

So, I came down from the water tower

I could see Kawasaki jump too, but I could see something else.

She quickly covered herself.

"Did you see something?!" Her tone of voice was terrifying.

''I didn't see anything black; I swear.'' I knew she had slightly mature tastes, but it was surprising to see her wear such sexy underwear.

Kawasaki closed the distance between us in a second, for some reason I have deja vu at the moment.

Her fist hit my stomach squarely, due to the pain I fell to my knees.

"You could hold back for a bit, you know?" I said, while making a pained expression.

"I don't want to hear it from a pervert."

''But if it, was you who jumped while wearing a skirt.''

I can only reply while I was still on the ground, it was also my fault for not moving or blocking her attack, but I feel like if I did, it would end up worse for me.

''But you are to blame for looking.'' After saying this, Kawasaki went to her classroom.

Women, I can never understand them.

The next class is not of much importance, so I can stay here to rest.

Although I must admit, it was a good sight.

End of flashback

"Then see you later Tsurumi, don't forget to contact me if you are going to visit Sensei."

''I won't forget, it since I'm sure, it won't end well for me.''

"Why do you say that as if I were the aggressor?" Kawasaki said with a frown.

"I have enough evidence to be sure."

''Like what?''

"If you ask me like that, I can remember certain black underwear."

Kawasaki's face changed from an expression of doubt to anger.

She closed the distance between us, but this time I caught her fist.

''These are the tests; you must control your temper.'' I said with a sarcastic tone.

I thought she would calm down, but this seemed to make her angrier.

Kawasaki kicked me, but I blocked it, plus I could see something black again.

I can assure you that she has a taste for underwear of that color.

She quickly covered herself with her hands.

The aura that Kawasaki had was very terrifying. Also, her face was somewhat red, I didn't know if it was out of anger or shame.

I guess I'll be late for class.

Both in my previous life and in the current one, I still think that the time to return home is the best part of studying.

Of course, if we compare a high school with a university, it is different since while in Sobu High I had a fixed schedule to study, in the university I was free to choose my schedule.

To think that I was just a short time away from graduating from college, and now I have to re-enroll in one.

But back to the subject that concerns me, right now I should be on my way home to read one of the several novels I have pending, but a certain message makes me have to be at the door of Sobu High waiting for the sender.

''Raiden, wait for me at the door at the exit since I want us to go to a certain place.''

So, I have to wait for Yumiko.

Of course, I would have wanted to say no, but I'm sure doing so will only make Yumiko more insistent, and I'd rather avoid that.

"Raiden!"

Hearing Yumiko's voice, I decided to go with her, but to my surprise, she was with two other people.

She was accompanied by two girls, one had short brown hair and wore red glasses, the other had short orange hair.

I'm glad their friendship was the way it should be.

Once I was in front of them, Yumiko began to speak.

''This is Raiden, a very good friend of mine.''

The looks of those two were curious, as if they were deducing what kind of person I was, I guess it would be better to introduce myself properly.

"I am Tsurumi Raiden. Thank you for taking care of Yumiko, as I know how troublesome she can be."

I could see how Yumiko pouted upon hearing my words.

''¡Hello, Tsurumi-san! I am Yuigahama Yui, Yumiko has told us about you." Yuigahama is quite cheerful.

Ebina gaze was quite accurate, but she was different from looking at someone unpleasant, I had a creepy feeling from how she looked at me.

"I'm Ebina Hina, it's a pleasure, Tsurumi-kun. By the way, are you interested in men?"

This question puzzled me; I could understand why I had a bad feeling when she looked at me.

"I'm sorry to tell you that I'm not interested in men or anything that has to do with BL"

''It doesn't necessarily mean that you will be the one who receives, since by your appearance I would say that you would be the Seme, then you can calmly seduce other boys and make them yours, then little by little you could go…!"

As Ebina continued to describe how, I should penetrate another man, her nose began to bleed.

"Hina, I told you to stop thinking about such things and not to involve Raiden in your yaoi fantasies."

Yumiko took out a handkerchief and put it to her nose, seemed to want to continue talking, but since her nose was covered it was difficult to understand her. Ebina is a headache.

Yuigahama just laughed at this.

Not even 5 minutes have passed, and I already want to get out of here. I feel that if I stay close to Ebina, she will write a book called 50 Shades of Raiden.

Though I think in her mind she already did.

"So where do you want me to go?" I Asked Yumiko.

Right now, I want to go home, being in a fujoshi fantasy was too stressful for my sanity.

"Let's go to karaoke!" Yuigahama was too cheerful for my liking.

It's not that I have anything against Yuigahama, but people who are too cheerful are stressful for me.

"So, you can't refuse to go, understood?" Yumiko's voice was authoritative.

I could only sigh and nod at her words.

This was the first time I had come to a karaoke, but by reasoning I already had an idea of what it would be like. A room with a table and a machine with microphones, as well as a menu to order drinks or snacks.

Upon entering, Yumiko requested two hours plus some drinks, so I guess it will be a long 2 hours, although I have no singing experience, so I don't expect to be the star of the night.

Once we took our seats, Yuigahama and Yumiko started selecting the songs they were going to sing, they were both excited about it.

"Tsurumi-kun, is it true that your eyes are a different color?"

Ebina's question surprised me, I didn't expect Yumiko to tell her this. I guess it means that Yumiko trusts Ebina enough to be so open in her conversations.

''It is true.''

After saying this, I took out the case of the contact lenses and proceeded to take them out to store them since I don't have the need to have them on at the moment.

"I must say that you look much better, plus your red eyes show that you definitely must be the seme and…"

I didn't bother responding to her words, since I know doing so would only make her talk more about these things, so I decided to change the subject.

"By the way, Ebina-san, how did you manage to meet Yumiko?" I won't lie about this, I was curious how Yumiko became friends with Ebina since, in my opinion, Yumiko treats everyone with an air of superiority.

"An excellent question." Ebina had a smile on her face as she said this.

''I'm in the same classroom as Yumiko, so the first day during class they asked us to do a task in pairs, and quickly Yumiko and I had several people in front of us who asked us to be their pairs.''

I can understand their situation, since Yumiko and Ebina are quite attractive, their classmates did not hesitate to go to them to ask them to be their pairs for this task.

"At that moment I felt quite overwhelmed since I did not expect that several of our companions would insist that I be their partner, but to my surprise, Yumiko with a few words separated everyone around me and exclaimed that I would be her pair.'' Ebina was happy to say this.

''This action surprised me since Yumiko also had several people who proposed to her to work together, but she simply rejected them all. I know this because when I thanked her, she just mentioned that she was normal and that she knew what it was like to be the center of attention."

Knowing Yumiko, I know that's what she would do. After all, in middle school she also attracted a lot of attention, but she treated others like trash since they only cared about her because of her appearance.

"And from that moment they became friends?"

''Almost.''

''Almost?'' I asked.

''After finishing our work, we decided to talk a bit, that's where she mentioned you, since she had a reliable friend, and they were quite close. It was a bit surprising since when she started talking about you, I thought you would be a super model or something, but she said that you were quite normal at first glance."

I understand that I'm not handsome, but it hurts a bit.

"Forgive me for not being a super model."

''Don't worry, you exceeded the expectations of how I imagined you, so I can assure you that you could seduce most of the men in the school, you could even try to conquer H...''

''Concentrate on the subject." I didn't want to hear Ebina describe how I had to seduce other guys to penetrate them.

"My mistake." she said this with an amused tone. ''After Yumiko talked about you, I started to ask her more about you. But while she was describing you, I started imagining you as a Uke, so I couldn't help but smile unpleasantly."

At least Ebina is aware of the face she makes when she imagines yaoi things.

"Once Yumiko asked me what I was imagining by making that face, I tried to say that it was something unrelated to Yaoi, since in middle school it was hard for me to make friends because of it, so after trying to apologize, Yumiko said that what I said was a lie, she had seen through me very easily.''

"It's not as if you were too hard to read either, you know?" I said with some mockery.

''I guess.'' She said happily ''And since Yumiko didn't accept my excuse, I told her the truth, to imagine you as an Uke in a relationship with other men. Yumiko didn't understand what these terms meant, so I explained everything to her. After telling her this, I thought she would look bad or get away from me, but she just told me that Raiden would be the giver and not the taker.''

I guess I have several things to discuss with Yumiko. The main one would be to tell her not to engage me in strange conversations.

"This surprised me since I did not expect Yumiko to respond normally, then she told me that people had different tastes, simply judging others by their hobbies is wrong, and I should not accept the prejudices of others.''

I didn't expect Yumiko to respond like that, although the words she said to Ebina are things that Yumiko would say.

"And then, since Yumiko wasn't prejudiced about your hobbies, did you realize that she was a different person than she appeared to be?" This was an easy thing to assume.

Yumiko at first glance can be described as a queen because of the authoritarian way she talks to others. She is also very beautiful, and at first glance she is unattainable for those who observe her. That's why I understand Ebina's surprise when she realizes that Yumiko is different from what it seems

''That's right.'' Said Ebina in a cheerful tone. ''So, from then on, I can be more open with Yumiko and tell her about my hobbies. Of course, she also mentions the things they like to do and about...''

''In short, they are friends.'' If I didn't interrupt Ebina, I'm sure she would include in a moment how I should go after other men. It's too stressful for my mental health to have a conversation with her.

Ebina nodded with a smile at my words.

"Tell me something, Tsurumi-kun, is it true that you are good at fighting?" Although it was a normal question, I had a bad feeling where the question was headed.

"You could say that I'm good at it, although of course, if you want a demonstration, it's impossible since I'm not someone who is looking for problems.'' Although everything that happened in less than 1 year contradicts my words.

''If I imagined it, although at first glance I couldn't tell that you were someone who was good at it.'' I guess I fulfilled my role very well being a background character.

''Then it can be said that you train, therefore you must have muscles.'' I had a bad feeling. "SO THAT OPENS UP A LOT OF POSSIBILITIES, BECAUSE WHO DOESN'T LIKE A STRONG GUY BEING SUBJECTED BY A THINNER GUY!" Ebina's nose began to bleed from imagining certain things I prefer not to think about.

To my luck, Yumiko had finished choosing the songs, so she can take care of Ebina.

But ultimately, I have to stay away from that girl.

EBINA POV

When Yumiko described Tsurumi to me, I thought he was someone quite ordinary, but now that I know him, I realize that he is very different from how I imagined him. I'm sure he and Hayama-kun would make a good couple, after all, I have a good intuition about it.

"Hurry up Ebina." Yumiko's voice took me out of my fantasies

"I'm coming" We finished for today, so we headed to pay.

"It was pretty fun; we should do it again!" Yui was very happy; she could sing a lot and also had a beautiful voice.

''Pass.'' Tsurumi replied.

"You don't have to worry, we're not all good at some things." Yumiko was having fun with Tsurumi for his poor performance.

''Let me.''

Tsurumi's voice wasn't the best when it comes to singing, so I understand why he a bit irritated. But I am sure of a method to improve his throat.

"Yui, Hina, you can wait outside, Raiden and I will line up to pay.'' It seemed as if all the customers today had agreed to pay at the same time as us.

I took out the money from my bag to cover my fee, Yui did the same.

''Don't worry, Raiden will pay for everything.''

I could only see him sigh at Yumiko's words; I can say that they complement each other very well. Although this is bad for my future dounjins, I'm sure they will sell very well.

"Are you serious, Tsurumi-san?" Yui got quite close to Tsurumi, she was happy that didn't have to pay.

However, Yumiko quickly pulled Yui away from Tsurumi. Yumiko seemed a bit jealous of the way Yui was clinging to Tsurumi.

''I can't say I didn't have fun, so I guess I'll pay this time.''

''Yeih!'' Yui as always denotes an impeccable state of mind.

''Hina, come on.'' Yui said.

''Thank you for paying, Tsurumi-kun.'' The money saved could be used to buy a manga I'm waiting for to go on sale, so it was necessary to thank Tsurumi for his help, although the best way to say thank you is to use that manga as a reference for my next dounjins, starring Tsurumi.

So together with Yui we decided to wait outside the Karaoke.

"By the way, Yui, what do you think of Tsurumi-kun?" Since both of them were going to take a long time, it was better to have a normal topic of conversation since Yui can't follow me if I talk about BL.

"At first, I thought it would be different because of the way Yumiko talked to us about him, but he's a good person, and Yumiko seemed happy when she talked to him."

"I can say the same, Yu..."

''Hey girls, what do you say if you join us karaoke to have fun together.''

A boy's voice interrupted our conversation.

Looking at them, I realized that there were 3 boys approximately 20 or 21 years old.

They're pretty cute, I could even say that there was a love triangle between the 3 of them, but the tone of his voice detonated that they would just be an annoyance.

''Sorry, we're waiting for some friends to come back." Yui rejected them naturally, she couldn't expect less from Yui, not realizing the ulterior motives of these guys.

"Come on, don't be like that, I'm sure you'll have fun with us, you might even experience more fun."

It will be better to reject them immediately before they become more insistent.

''I'm sorry, but we have things to do.'' After saying this, I took Yui's arm to go to another place.

But something held me back.

"Come on, maybe we started off on the wrong foot, what do you say if you let us treat you as a reward." This guy was pissing me off.

"I'm sorry, ¡but I didn't give you permission to touch me!" I quickly removed his hand from my wrist.

"Hina, ¿are you alright?"

"Don't worry, Yui."

These guys were being too pushy for my liking.

"¡Hey, what do you think you're doing!?"

Yumiko's voice made the boys turn around.

"But what do we have here, it couldn't be more perfect, come with us, I assure you that you will have a lot of fun."

"And why would we have to accompany trash like you, who are only dedicated to harassing students!? Don't make me laugh, so get out of here!"

"Oh, so you have enough courage to insult us and expect us to accept and obey you, don't be so cocky."

I had a bad feeling, Yui also seemed worried about everything that was going on.

"At least I'm sensible enough to understand when someone talks to me, unlike certain idiots who don't understand when someone rejects them." Yumiko's tone showed that she was upset.

"Yumiko, don't you think you should..."

Before I finished warning Yumiko, one of the boys tried to hold her down, but he stopped, or rather someone did.

"I guess there are all kinds of idiots in these places." Although Tsurumi's expression was neutral, his tone of voice indicated that he was annoyed. "By the way, what the hell are you trying to do?"

Tsurumi knee slammed into the stomach of the guy he was holding, causing him to fall to his knees and cover himself in pain.

"Are you okay?" Quickly his friends sided with his.

"Don't expect to get out unscathed after doing this to him."

"Ebina-san, I told you before that I can't give you a demonstration because I'm not looking to cause trouble, but I guess you're in luck."

Tsurumi's expression the entire time we were together was neutral, but now he was smiling, but in a strange way.

Although both boys tried to hit him, in a couple of seconds he cut them down, leaving them on the ground.

After that, Tsurumi grabbed one of them by the neck. "I'm in a good mood, so I'll tell you that if you dare to bother them again, I'll make sure you don't see the sunlight for a long time." His tone of voice was terrifying.

The 3 guys ran away quickly. I must say that it was spectacular and quite rare to see how Tsurumi defeated those boys, although thanks to that it gave me many ideas for possible stories, like the one about Tsurumi rescuing his special boy from the clutches of some thugs, and then Tsurumi...

''Hina, your nose is bleeding again.''

Raiden POV

Today was quite exhausting, not only for Kawasaki but also for the idiots at Karaoke.

That made me remember something, so I took my cell phone and texted Yumiko.

Within a few seconds she responded with several messages indicating possible departure dates.

I'd rather something like today never happen again, so as annoying as it is, I guess I'll have to go to karaoke.

A smile had formed on my face without knowing it.
