Chapter 25: Not Hanazawa, Miyuki.

***

What do you imagine when you hear the name Yamaguchi?

For me, I imagined a sharp face, and very masculine eyes.

However, its not a name on the level of a main characters.

A supporting actor, or a side character would be perfect.

And I was looking at that side character Yamaguchi.

He sat on the roof, surrounded by tall metal fences all around.

He had a completely blank expression, so I couldnt tell what was on his mind.

He had a crazy body.

It probably took him at least 5 years to get to that level.

Around him, there were quite a bit of gangsters that were a part of the circle.

Among them, there was Takashi who looked at me with worry in his eyes, and Shamoyama, who was grinding his teeth.

When I casually walked up to Yamaguchi, the angry Shamoyama tried to block me.

But when Yamaguchi opened his mouth, he had to go back to his spot without even being able to do anything.

Matsuda Ken.

His voice was plain.

Thankfully his voice wasnt deep like mine.Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience

I almost had to feel jealous.

Yes sir.

You want to quit the circle?

You told him properly. Well done Takashi.

I nodded and responded.

Thats right.

Why?

If I were to say nicely, Yamaguchi likes people who are determined, or if I were to say it negatively, people who dont know fear and act recklessly, saying they have some spine.

He also likes honest people.

So instead of thinking of some excuse, lets tell him straight up.

I thought it was childish how we pick fights with other academies. We arent highschoolers anymore.

At my words, the person who got angry wasnt Yamaguchi, but actually Shamoyama.

What did you say you motherfucker?

He walked from beside Yamaguchi towards me and held his fist out.

Looks like Im going to get beat up at any moment.

Yamaguchi stopped Shamoyama with a quiet voice.

Stop.

Yes, sunbae.

Its quite fun to watch him get bitched like that.

Are you going to leave our family?

Yamaguchi continued questioning me.

The hell you mean family is what Id like to say as I scoffed but lets be serious.

Yes sir. Id like to leave. I dont want to partake in these childish games anymore.

When I said that, I stared at Yamaguchi.

So that he can feel the sincerity of my words.

Could he understand my feelings?

His mouth which had been sealed shut for a while finally opened up.

You know what happens to quitters right?

I know very well.

Cutting off your pinky.

Just as the Yakuza did in the past, an old fashioned way to keep people shackled.

Do you mean cutting off my finger? Honestly speaking, theres probably a decent amount of people unable to quit just because of that rule, you know?

Is that so?

Yeah. I dont want to lose a finger either. So can you be satisfied with just beating the shit out of me instead?

Think about it Yamaguchi.

You also think this Yakuza play is childish.

But you cant quit because of all the affection, and responsibility you feel towards the circle members.

If theres anyone that would look at quitting the circle positively itd be you right?

So Ill help you out.

After today, the Superi circle is completely dissolved.

I dont know how youll be dealt with, but take it like a true gangster no matter what it is.

Hmm

Yamaguchi seemed to be deep in thought.

For some reason, I think hell say something beneficial to me.

You said lets end it after we beat you up as much as wed like?

Yes sir.

Then lets do that. However, you dont say anything about what you did in the circle to others.

Im good with that.

You understand my feelings, but you must also be worrying about the others in the circle.

Im satisfied with you just accepting my offer.

Su-Sunbae!

I heard Shamoyamas confused shout.

Along with the other extras within the circle

They must be confused that Yamaguchi accepted a first years proposal.

If it pisses you off that much, you can think about Yamaguchis personality and plan how youll convince him too.

Shamoyama.

Yes sir?

You go hit him.

At those words, Shamoyama smiled brightly.

That bastard wasnt actually mad, he just wanted to punch me.

Well I also wanted him to be the one to hit me so theres no complaints there

How much should I hit him?

Until I tell you to stop.

Alright.

Theres blood all over your face and cloths

Its just a busted lip. Other parts of my body are fine. Wanna see?

Miyuki hurridly grabbed my wrist before I could get up.

Si-Sit down! Ill bring the nurse! Just a bit Wait just a bit..! Understand?

Then tried to go back down the stairs.

Dont go.

She stopped after hearing my voice and turned her head.

I smiled weakly, swallowed the blood in my mouth and tapped on the ground to my side.

Stay with me.

But the blood

Stay here with me.

.

She was quite flustered, but in the end she sat down beside me.

Then pulled out a napkin, and started wiping all the blood off my face.

I looked at her a spoke.

You called them didnt you? Those people.

Yeah. When Matsuda-kun didnt come back down even after 5 minutes I went to the professors office and told him.

What did you say?

That there were people causing trouble on the roof.

You did? Well done.

Did you think I would be able to quit after only 5 minutes?

I dont understand Matsuda-kun. Why are you trying to follow their rules? I get you are worried about me and Tetsuya being wrapped up in your problems But even still we can get them in trouble within the school

You said youd trust me today. But if you couldnt even wait 5 minutes That means you didnt trust me all that much huh?

If I just did nothing Matsuda-kun would be getting carried away. I trusted you but I was too worried

Whatever. Since it ended well, Ill let it go this time.

Miyuki whipped her head around.

It ended well?

Yeah. I left the circle. Since I just kept getting beat up and didnt fight back, maybe he thought of me positively and just let me leave the circle. Unlike you, I kept my promise.

What promise?

You told me to stop fighting. So I didnt fight. I wasnt go to fighting him to start with.

Miyuki pouted.

Her expression made me think she didnt know if she should cry or laugh.

After a while, when she finally spoke, it was just to reprehend me.

Who said for you to just get hit for 15 minutes without fighting back Even I wouldnt do that!

It was for 15 minutes?

Quite a long time.

Then you should have said that.

When I made a joke, Miyuki bit her lower lip.

Sorry

Youre sorry? Then wear a bunny girl outfit with fishnet stockings.

Or a nurse outfit.

Or a police officer outfit.

I could see Miyuki tearing up.

I guess she really was sorry that me listening to her led up to this.

The hand holding the napkin curled up into a fist.

The blood is gonna stain your hand.

I flicked away the napkin away from Miyukis grasp.

Yo.

Whatttt!

I did well right?

You did good You did good ok!

Her tone was just like that of a pissed off girlfriend making a fuss.

I laughed at her reaction, and spoke before she could frown.

From now on, Im gonna call you Miyuki.

Can I call you Miyuki?

Can I call you by something more friendly?

I didnt ask questions like that.

I spoke as if I was giving an order, just as I always would, in a jokingly manner.

Even still, she would be able to feel my real feelings.

Since I was always like this.

Miyuki also knew that I was always like this.

She looked at me in silence for a long time, then wiped the tear off her face with the back of her hand.

Then responded, sounding as if she was going to cry at any moment.

Do as you want Dummy

Should I be happy in this situation even though she swore at me?

I do feel good that she gave her consent.

I smiled brightly at Miyuki.

She turned around, and laughed.

Brush your teeth It looks funny

I guess the blood stained teeth kind of ruined the moment Its embarassing but who cares.

Causing problems without intending to,

Having problems saying their true feelings,

Doesnt understand how the other person feels,

And eventually, realizing how they feel about each other.

Isnt this youth? Isnt this what it means to be a love comedy?

Starting now, Im going to go through all the cliches in the school and grow our love.

As I improve my relationship with Renka, Ill have some skinshp with Miyuki here and there, slowly increasing the level.

Kids nowadays are quick with it.

Theres people all around that have sex just because their eyes met, so ofcourse I can do this while dating. (TL Note: The word used isnt date but more like The line between love and friendship. But idk if such a word even exists in english so.)
