Chapter 4: We meet again
'It hurts. What happened to me? Why is my head hurting, especially when I saw those two women's faces earlier.'
I'm not lying when I say everything seemed normal until I met that beautiful student with an indecent body. Something in my head seemed to be forced open, making me afraid to look at her.
I thought it only applied to her, but Mari Kurihara's appearance on stage caused the same pain in my head, causing me to keep looking down while listening to her speech.
It seems that I was overly nervous on the first day of my high school career. I'm sure that's why because I'll be spending a lot of time in this place for the next three years.
My attention was suddenly diverted by the stupid words of a man with long hair and glasses next to me, "Hey, did you know, the men's dorm will be separated from the women's dorm."
"Of course, you're stupid. That's a general rule that applies everywhere," I was about to say the same thing, but my middle school friend interrupted me.
Looking at these men sitting at the same table as me made me sigh in frustration because they were a bunch of losers from every angle I saw, and what disgusted me the most was their pervertedness that knew no bounds.
Shingo Wakamoto was a middle school friend of mine, and even though we weren't particularly close, I was surprised that he was also accepted into Hachimitsu Academy. I'm very disappointed to see him now because I've known for a long time that he was trying to look like a mischievous kid with his blonde gelled hair and open collar.
"That's not what I mean, it's just that I don't agree with how they treat male students like wild animals who should be shunned and isolated from female students."
"At least we still get food rations, otherwise I wouldn't be able to survive in the dorm for a day," Reiji Andou responded this time. He has a fat body, and his small head, especially his long ear lobules, makes him appear disproportionate.
"Shut up you pig, I don't care if you can't eat, we're talking about girls."
'Did this jerk want to lump me in with them? I'm sorry, but I'm not interested. in fact, I've been quiet since earlier... and I wouldn't have gotten any closer to you all if it hadn't been for Shingo's coercion.'
I subconsciously gave the glasses-wearing man a disgusted look. Still, as their chatter became wilder, mentioning all their fetish and fantasies in quite loud voices, I could feel the female students in this canteen's gazes turning cold.
*sigh
"Sorry, I have to go to the toilet," I couldn't take it any longer and looked for an excuse to get up, but the man wearing glasses suddenly grabbed my shoulder.
"Are you impatient, Kiyoshi-dono? I know you want to try the methods we discussed for approaching women right away but getting ahead of us will be a problem."
Takehito Morokuzu, everyone calls him Gakuto, is a tall and wiry man with shoulder-length black hair that looks surprisingly well-groomed. Behind his clear glasses, his black eyes kept looking at me with a sharp gaze as if he knew what I was thinking, but in reality, he was just saying nonsense that would mislead others.
'Calm down, me... these fuckers are just a bunch of losers out to smear your reputation so you don't have to spend any more time with them.'
My face lit up as I made my decision. "Sorry, I really need to go to the toilet, I've been holding it in since the opening ceremony, so I have to hurry," I said as I let go of Gakuto's grip.
I walked away without waiting for them to say something stupid, and every step felt heavy as I could feel the cynical and disgusted looks from the female students I passed.
*Thud
"Finally, I got out of that suffocating canteen... sigh, I don't know what would happen if I stayed with them any longer."
I then walked down the not-too-busy corridor before coming to a halt near an open window, where I enjoyed the wind blowing from the forest that surrounded the school. It cooled my body and mind well.
I could see the view of the wide field surrounded by rectangular buildings because I was on the second floor. I haven't seen the building that houses the student dormitories, but I can tell when I see a similar-sized structure next to this school.
"What is the purpose of that place?" It's odd that the building stands alone in the middle of this desolate field that clearly isn't used for sports by students."
"Yup, that's right, the sports field used by the students is on the other side of this building," I was surprised to hear a voice behind me, and before I turned around, the person was standing next to me.
"We meet again."
That person was the female student I met earlier outside the school gate. I was relieved to see her give me a bright smile because she wasn't in the cafeteria when those perverts had their meeting.
"hehehe, I guess this is fate," the woman said, sticking out her tongue at me. Her appearance, as well as her hands, which are always behind her back, make her appear very cute.
"If we only met twice, I don't think it could be called a fate... by the way, I don't know your name yet."
"Mooo, it seems like you forgot something... you haven't thanked me, you know, but never mind, my name is Chiyo Kurihara."
