"Why are you asking for my help? He didn't look like he's in danger though."
I asked since I was puzzled with this request of her. All those revelations just for to help Fukuda?
"He's a good guy but he was always pulled along by those seniors."
Ah. So she wanted to pull him out of delinquency?
After revealing her identity to , Chii remained within my arm's reach. It's still a bit unbelievable that the girl apart from Miwa-nee who was also a trigger for all that happened is here within our class. I seriously have no idea and I will not possibly know if she didn't reveal it to .
"Are you sure he's only been pulled along?"
It could be that he also played along with them. He's even inviting to join his group to flaunt their weight in school. That didn't look like soone who's being pulled along.
However, I also observed that he's quite behaved in class and the way she treated Chii.
"I don't know. But whenever he talks to , he's always confessing about the things that he did and how he didn't want to do it."
Chii shook her head while probably trying to recall their conversation. She looked really eager to help him. Where's that playful Chii who I couldn't understand before?
"Isn't that just him wanting to impress you? He's head over heels for you, you know?"
Other guys will lie just to let the girl he likes to have a good impression of him. I also did that before so I know.
Hearing my words, Chii averted her gaze and lowered her head as if she's ashad.
"I know there's also a possibility that it's like that. However, I can't reciprocate his feelings so…"
"You wanted to help him in his troubles instead?"
This girl. Why go to all that trouble? Gratitude? I don't know.
I observed her and I couldn't help to compare her appearance now to the Chii that I could vaguely recall. Haa. All this ti I'm worried if I will be able to understand her, but now… our past explained her interest in .
"Yes, that's why. Can you?"
She revealed her identity to to beco leverage for this. All of that to help soone who she couldn't like. But she's probably thankful to him. Fukuda took great care of her and he's even respecting her. Despite her claiming to be his boyfriend, he's the one denying it.
There's probably so rit when she said that he was being pulled along by the seniors.
"I can talk to him but that doesn't guarantee it will be able to help him whatever his trouble is. That's all I can do Chii. I don't want my girls to be dragged with if I dipped my hand on that… troubleso lots."
Delinquents can play delinquents if they want, right now they haven't crossed yet but if ever they did…
Haa. I might have to deal with them one way or another.
"That's already enough. He has a good impression of you so he will surely listen."
Hearing my answer Chii was overjoyed that she unconsciously hugged to express it.
Upon realizing that, she blushed and took a step back.
"I… I didn't an to do that."
"I know. I guess that part of you didn't change."
When she beca comfortable with back then, she would also hug unconsciously whenever she felt joy. But yeah, that was before I grew bored of her.
She's now being careful towards .
"Eh? Now, I think revealing my identity to you is a bad idea. How can I act around you now?"
"Just continue as you are, Chii. You still need to act like a gyaru, right?"
"Yes. I have to keep this up, but I guess it now grew into . Right, Onoda-chi? I'm totally a gyaru like this."
She fixed her hair and went back to her gyaru form as she tried acting as a gyaru in front of again.
Well, that would probably not work on again. I will now always see her as that Chii who revealed her identity and put down her pretense as a gyaru. But yeah, I'll never spoil it for her.
We left the room after that and she went ahead of .
Before I went back to class I saw Izumi-senpai outside.
Right. She's kind of a delinquent right?
I was about to greet her when suddenly, soone else appeared from the side, it's a 2nd year like her and coincidentally, he's also a delinquent and soone connected to Fukuda who was just the topic of our conversation just now.
"Izumi. When will you accept ? I already beca your dog for a year."
With the way he acted around her, why am I seeing a resemblance in Fukuda? Birds of a feather?
"Not today Enomoto. I am in a bad mood so scram for ."
I see. So she's like this when she's not around Ogawa. Girls in love can be quite scary eh? Or is that just her way to shoo away those who wanted to try if they would have a chance at her?
The delinquent guy flinched and left her like she asked while leaving with a mournful expression on his face.
Oi. You're a delinquent. Act like it!
She's not really my target but even if she's a forr rival, she's Nami's friend.
When I saw her putting a white stick in her mouth that's probably a cigarette, I approached her to remind her.
"Izumi-senpai, you're not really hidden there. You'll be caught smoking if you're not careful."
Hearing my voice, she was startled that she bit the thing she put in her mouth and a cracking sound was heard.
Ah. That's certainly not a cigarette.
"Huh? Onoda-kun? This is candy, you know? But seriously, don't just jump out like that. Why are you here?"
She took it out and showed it to before putting it back in her mouth. Like she said, she really looks like she's in a bad mood right now.
"Ah. That's my bad. You're Nami's friend so I thought of reminding you, I'm sorry if that felt intrusive."
"Nah. It's fine. You're a good boyfriend, eh? If only Kazuo can be as gutsy as you."
Izumi-senpai had a troubled expression as she muttered that last sentence.
"That's probably a tall order for soone like Ogawa."
"You're right. Ugh. Nami probably moved on to you because she gave up on him."
"Huh? Not really, senpai. I made every effort to make her fall for , and if I wished to I can also make you fall for ."
I don't know but I sohow got agitated from her words. It's like telling that Ogawa's still better and Nami only chose as a rebound.
Ignorance really is a bliss.
"This guy… that's so grand declaration. Don't you think I won't tell Nanami about this?"
Though she was taken aback by my words, she recovered instantly.
"Ah. I'm sorry senpai. I just got agitated when your words seed like telling that Nami chose just because she gave up on Ogawa."
"You're right. That's a fair point. That's my bad this ti"
"Well then, I'll go back to class"
"Did I make you upset?"
"Maybe? I'm different from Ogawa so... It's kind of insulting even if you didn't an it. Also, I'm serious about what I said. I can make it possible."
Leaving those words to her, I never heard a reply to her on my way back to the classroom. If I told her that Nami succeeded in having Ogawa confess to her, she'll probably be more surprised. And if I also told her that I stole Nami from him, she'll probably be left in shock.
Her type might seem to be hard to crack but if you show her that you're interested in her and then neglect her after a period of ti, she'll soon be the one to approach you and ask you why you suddenly stopped approaching her. Of course, it also depends on your effort on how you show your interest in her. If it's all superficial, it won't work.
I just don't know what she saw from Ogawa.
Ah. His Passive Chick Magnet most probably.
And yeah, it's not like I wanted to steal her. There's no point, for now.
She's Nami's friend so I thought of befriending her as well. That's the only reason I approached her.
Nothing special happened during the 7th period and the class ended normally. Chii's request to talk to Fukuda can be done anyti so I don't think I need to do it today.
I saw her looking at before going out of the classroom together with their group.
Haa. That Chii. She said she didn't know if she still loves or anything but she also said that she couldn't stop thinking about .
Isn't that the sa as saying she still likes ? I don't really know what to do with her. She's my target when she still hasn't revealed her past with but now…
Do I like her? If so, which do I like? The Chii of the past or the Chii of this present? Or is it both?
Haa… I want to talk to her more but earlier, I could feel how afraid she was to be seen as boring again by .
I'll think about it. It's no use in forcing myself to co up with a solution with this.
Satsuki went out first since even if there's no practice their club will hold a eting, maybe it's related to their upcoming ga.
Nami also went out with her friends and Ogawa after saying goodbye to . I also want to spend ti with her after school but yeah, there's no ti yet.
Ogawa has also started changing the way he looks at . That kind of friendly yet dumb face of his was slowly being replaced by his gloom. He's probably soon to erupt from always seeing Nami and I showing this kind of affection to each other. We never had a chance to talk again, so maybe he'll confront soon?
Ah. It's not like he can do anything. I have a lot lined up today so I'm just exhausting myself thinking about that guy. Aya was already waiting for . I'll bring her to the Literature Club and introduce her to Kana and maybe to Rae as well.
Since I finished her novel, Kana will surely be happy if I talk to her about my feedback about it in entirety.
After that, I'll go to the Student Council again to do a little secretary work. Though I still haven't changed Shizu-senpai's view of , at least she's not that against anymore. I don't know if I can have her open up to but that will need a lot more ti. Her shell was thicker than Aya's. There's also the book Haruko gave her that's why she managed to get out of her shell faster.
Afterwards, Satsuki's ti in the Gymnasium and then lastly picking up Aya to go ho with Shio.
Err… this is a long day for . Well, it's not like it will be tiring. In fact, most of it will be a relaxing ti.
