CH 1.2

「Why do you look so tattered even before PE starts?」

My fellow otaku, Satou, was looking at me in dismay seeing I’m dragging my body during the warm-up exercises.

「My muscles are a little sore….」

「Weren’t you fine this morning?」

「I did a little too much after eating exercise.」

「That’s all you did and you look like that? What are you? An old man?」

I’m only 17!

No, I was 17.

In any case, it’s pathetic that my knees are shaking so much.

「Can you even play soccer like that? No, it’s not like we can play it when we’re normal.」

Satou-kun said something even more pathetic but I’m sure I thought the same at that time.

I’ll just use my healing magic to fix it….

「Tooru-kun, good luck!」

While the boys are playing soccer, half of the ground is occupied by girls playing tennis.

From there, yellow cheers came flying towards the ikemen.

Today’s soccer game is a match format.

The same is true for basketball and other sports but there is no way to get organized in a school class so naturally the experienced players are going to be the one who’ll win the game.

The ikemen over there is an example of matchless.

By the way, one of his underlings is sticking to me perfectly, trying to cut off my legs.

It’s a simple harassment but I don’t want my leg to be bruised.

I use magic to increase my defense for the time being.

Ah, the ikemen scored again.

I could have prevented it since I was on the enemy’s side but being suddenly active would make me stand out.

It has only been a few hours since I came back but being surrounded by high schoolers is very exhausting.

It was more stressful talking to the peaceful Japanese children than I thought.

When I started from the age of zero in the other world, I was so occupied with living and training.

Suddenly, I was back in a soft and fluffy world, and I felt uneasy because I had no place to put my mind.

While I was thinking about that in a daze, the ikemen dribbled the ball toward me.

He went into a shooting position.

Hey hey, given the angle of his foot, it’s going to hit me in the face, right?

I glanced around and saw Yui looking at me with her friends.

I see. So, he’s trying to humiliate me in front of Yui.

However, ikemen, that won’t make your stock go up. Though he’s still too young this time so he doesn’t know.

To me who’s currently using defensive magic, it’s no brainer that the soccer ball won’t make damage though I don’t find it fun blocking it with my face.

I hit the ball that came flying to my face at a high speed with the back of my hand and knocked it off.

The ball went right straight to the ikemen’s crotch.

「—!!!?」

The ikemen cowered while holding his crotch.

The gym teacher came running.

「Is your hand okay after that shot?」

While everyone was worried about the ikemen, only Satou was worried about me.

His eyes are glancing at me with a smirk on his face.

This ikemen is very popular with girls but behind his back, the boys hate him.

The reason for this can be seen with what happened behind the gymnasium.

「Hey Nanba! Apologize to Kakogawa-kun!」

「Right right!」

The girls who heard the commotion rushed over to me to blame me.

I remember the secretary to the president. She doesn’t do much work but she’s always talking to the employees about this and that with a big face.

This type is the most annoying thing.

「Sorry」

「What’s with that apology!」

The girls, perhaps not pleased with my nonchalant apology, shouted angrily at me.

Then, Yui, my childhood friend, arrived.

Everyone’s attention on me was drawn to her.

She had that much charm.

Her long blonde hair was pulled back into a ponytail.

Normally, she lets her hair down but during gym class, she’s in a ponytail.

Many boys look out the windows of the school building with their eyes focused on the ground to catch a glimpse of her hair.

Her trademark black tights are hidden by her jersey but it can’t hide the volume of her chest at all.

Yui smiled kindly at those around her and came over to stand next to me.

「Are you hurt?」

「Yu….you haven’t called my name for a long time….」

I’m not sure but the fact that she’s blushing a little means she’s sensitive when it comes to that issue or she’s simply a little embarrassed.

「Is that so? Sorry for being overly familiar with you, Shiratori.」

「It’s okay….In any case, it seems like Kakogawa-kun tried to hit you first.」

Yui said so in a whisper that only I could hear.

It should have been quite a distance from where she was but she could see it clearly.

「I think someone should take Kakogawa-kun to the infirmary….」

「Then, Yui-chan—」

「Me!」「No, me!」

The ikemen tried to nominate Yui but several girls interrupted him and raised their hands.

The girls surrounded her and took her to the infirmary.

「W-what an amazing sight….」

Even Satou was stunned.

「Don’t forget. You promise me to go home together.」

Yui whispered that to me with a modest smile that could make any man fall in love and ran towards the tennis court.

I remember being carried to the infirmary after getting hit in the face with that fall a long time ago.

My hazy consciousness told me that Yui had taken care of me but I wonder if that was a dream of reality….
