Part 33: Super High-school Level Update #29
Ding dong ding dong
Good morning, you bastards! It’s 7 am in the morning! Time to wake up! Let’s all strive to do our best today!
It’s morning... Are Oowada-kun and Ishimaru-kun... all right...?I hurried into the cafeteria faster than usual, worried about last night's outcome.
But then...
Gyahahaha! You’re too much, aniki!
Ha ha ha! Oh no, it’s you who is too funny, aniki! Huh...?
Aniki, literally "(big) brother", is a form of address popular among Japanese manly men. Perhaps most recognized for its use by yakuza mafia gang members. Oh, Naegi! Thank you for last night, being our observer! Eh? They’re friendly...?
They’ve been acting creepy like that all morning. Slapping each other’s shoulders and laughing together...
Creepy!? We’re spreading good feeling all around, aren’t we!? Say it! Say we make you feel good!!
Hey, isn’t this sexual harassment?!
It’s useless, aniki... Women can’t understand the deep bonds that tie men together...
Bonds between men are thicker than blood!! It’s different for women!! Well said, aniki, as expected... I should tattoo those words on my body! I would advise against it, aniki. Your body is a precious thing your parents gave to you. By the way... who won the contest?
That question is irrelevant!!
Such a silly question! The fact that we competed against each other is what’s important! But... that’s not what you said yesterday...
Male friendship is indeed different than female... It is such a simple thing. Yeah, you got that right...
As breakfast continued...
Ishimaru-kun and Oowada-kun made us listen to their painful conversation. There was no end in sight.
It was an unfortunate breakfast, indeed...
Well then, what should I do today...?
* ding-dong *
...huh? Is someone at the door?
As soon as I started opening the door, the person behind it pulled it forcefully, and came in...
Huh, that's an unexpected guest. Let's see what she wants.
F...fukawa-san? What’s wrong...?
What...? Is it such a surprise to see me come here...? A...am I so much of a bother...?
I... I know I’m bothersome... But I still came to see you... I...isn’t that enough...? No, you don’t bother me... What’s on your mind? I... I have a request... I need you to... come with me to a certain place...a certain place
Where is that place you... want me to join you to?
T... that’s.. ...the library. ...The library? Are you looking for a book? If that’s what you’re after, how about asking Togami-kun for help? He’s practically living in the library these days...
...!! W...what’s wrong...?
Y...you... have a loose tongue, don’t you...? I need you to... keep this a secret!! I... I don’t really understand what you mean, but if you want me to keep quiet I’ll keep quiet.
So let’s go already! To the library!! Y...yeah... the library...What’s with the... aggressiveness...?
G...go in quietly! Quietly...! ...So that he doesn’t notice you!I did as she persistently told me to, and stepped quietly into the library.
Inside, as expected, Togami-kun sat alone reading a book quietly...
He’s here... Ahaha... He’s really here... Well, Naegi-kun, start talking to him... ...Huh!? H...hey! Don’t make such a big noise! Quickly, just get his attention! If you want to talk to him, shouldn’t you do it...? I...if I start talking to him... it will just look like I’m bothering him, wouldn’t it?!Somehow... I think it’s a little unfair...
She's scary. We should do as we're told and try talking to Togami.
.........He seems to be deep in concentration, reading his book... I don’t think he wants people to talk to him...
Oi, you... You’ve been loitering around here for a while. You’re an eyesore. Ah... you noticed? ...Of course. Get out of here, now.
You over there in the corner, as well.
............ Hey... Togami-kun... ............
Do you remember those words you said to me? “You should become a woman who doesn’t control weak men but is controlled by a strong man”... I never said such a thing. I... I thought of it myself. It seemed to me like that’s what you wanted to say...
...Leave. And also, go take a bath. You stink.
...!!
How many times do I have to repeat myself? Leave. Now. The room is starting to smell...
O...okay... I guess we're not wanted here.
.............. H...he got mad at you... He must be in a bad mood... .............She... really seems distressed... Was that really such a shock to her?
Togami-kun... he...
...He really cares about me! ...Huh? H...he was... worried about me...... He told me to... take a bath...!! ...............
Hey, Naegi... What do you think? Um... about what? Me and Togami-kun... Do you think it can work...? Uh, I’m... not sure I can answer that...
...That’s right. No one can answer that. This is reality we’re talking about... B...but... true love doesn’t care for hardships...! It comes true as soon as you think of it... That’s what true love is like...! Is that... so...? I... I’m sure you’ll understand one day too... One day, for sure. Well, then. Goodbye...
..................
Isn't pure love wonderful?!! Uwa!!
But that Fukawa-san... Choosing Togami-kun of all people...
Such determination sure is scary, though! Sometimes, we must let people learn from their own mistakes!
Nyohohohohohoho!! ............ Somehow... I feel like I’m about to collapse... Anyway... I should go back to my room......There’s still time today... What should I do?
Hey, surprise poll! We have one more time slot for a social link, so pick your favorite character! Only one this time, though!
