In the seat next to me, Camilia-san rests her cheek on the desk.  ăHer golden hair reflected the morning sun, creating a beautiful scene like a painting.  ăBut the words spilled from her lipsâŠÂ ăItâs dullâŠă ăI wish it wasnât that.  ăWell, the start of the school day is still a long way away, and in the early morning, not many students are yet in the classroom.  ăFor someone who said "Itâs dull", she was early to school.

Well, she probably rode in the car of her sister who is a coach of the track & field club. Because the track & field club is supposed to have morning practice.  ăMinami, why are you here so early?ă ăMaybe itâs a habit⊠but I donât like coming to school early only when I have to check my belongingsă ăâŠYouâre so seriousă ăI chuckle and look down at the piece of paper in my hand.
Itâs a piece of loose leaf cut in half.  ăIt was thrown into the opinion box a while ago.  ăThe sender is unknown.  ăBut itâs clearly written by a girl in round letters, and the content isâŠÂ  ăA first-year student is being bullied by a second-year student on the girlsâ basketball clubă ăWell.  ïŒSince Takata Iinchou is no longer with us⊠I have to take care of the situationïŒÂ ăConsidering whatâs happening to me, I donât have the time to worry about other peopleâs problems, stillâŠÂ  ăAt that time, I thought I was being embraced by Kobayashi-sensei, but before I knew it, it turned out to be Fumio Kijima, the ugly captain (Busaiku) of the next class.  ăI was violated as much as Kijima wanted, and I lost my desire and said that I would love that ugly guy for the rest of my life.  ăMeanwhile, Kobayashi-sensei is hospitalized after being stabbed by an unknown man. I heard that it was hopeless for him to teach again.  ăAnd now, I was under strict orders from Kijima to come to the school whenever I was called, but somehow I felt that I had to obey him.  ăIt may be that there is no big difference between Kobayashi-sensei and Kijima, except for their faces, but it is not so easy to separate them.  ïŒI donât care about myself⊠Iâm a member of the Public Morals Committee, I have to do my jobâŠïŒÂ ăAccording to what Iâve heard over the past few days, there is definitely some bullying going on in the girlsâ basketball club.  ăThe girl being bullied is a first-year student named Ayame Hanabusa.
Although it is not certain, the three female members of the second year club are suspected of bullying her.  ăSanae Ichida ăNitani Asuka ăMimura Doremi ăAll of them seem to be on the verge of becoming regular players.  ăThe bullying started this summer, when the absolute ace Kaitou suddenly left the club.  ăAs her successor, Hanabusa, a first year player, was selected as a regular.  ăIt is said that Kaitou nominated her as her successor, but there was quite a protest when Kaitou, who was 170cm tall, was going to be succeeded by Hanabusa, who was 140cm tall.  ăHowever, Hanabusa, with her excellent sense of path, has successfully managed to fill in Kaitouâs shoes, albeit in a completely different way.  ăBut then, of course, it is the second-year substitutes who are not so interesting. ăAlthough they donât seem to be directly involved in the bullying, it is said that the bullying is very insidious.

I thought about asking the advisor of the girlsâ basketball club for advice, but the current situation at our school is really not good.  ăBecause of the incident with the girlsâ track & field club, the teachers are very tense.  ăEven more than the track and field club, the womenâs basketball club is said to be one of the strongest schools in the country, and it could lead to the expulsion of the second-year students from the basketball club before the incident comes to light.  ăI didnât think it was a good idea to just cut out the lesion and be done with it.  ăHey, Camilia-san⊠about the basketball club, what do you think I should do?ă ăShe helped me a little, a lot, to find out what was going on. Sheâs well aware of the situation. âtinytranslation.xyz ăWell⊠why donât you just leave it alone?ă ăThatâs not the way it works, you knowă ăWhen I said this, Camilia-san kept her cheek on the desk and opened her mouth in a troublesome manner.  ăâŠYou know. Humans are pack animalsă ăEh? What are you talking about?ă ăIâm talking about bullying. . I mean, humans have learned through evolution to eliminate individuals who would cause disharmony within the packă ăSo youâre saying itâs okay to bully?ă ăItâs not a question of good or bad. Itâs how it works. The worst thing is the illusion that the humans all get alongă ăIllusionâŠă ăIsnât that right? The bullied can just move to a place where they feel comfortable, but in the current system of schools and companies, itâs difficult to be expelled. And what kind of torture is it to gather people who canât get along and ask them to get along? As a result, they will be kicked in the ass for a long time. Thatâs allă ăI understand what sheâs trying to say.
But thatâs too harsh.  ăBut⊠If I donât do something about it, Iâll feel sorry for the bullied girlă ăWhen I involuntarily pouted my lips, Camilia-san waved her hand in the air, looking even more annoyed.  ăIf you insist, why donât you ask Fumio?ă ăI hurriedly turned my attention to my surroundings. None of the students seemed to be listening to what I was saying.  ăWhy are you talking about that ugly guy there?ă ăIt means that he will corrupt all the bullies and the bullied. Once theyâre corrupted, bullying will be nothing more than dirty playă ăAre you kidding me? Iâm seriousă ăIâm serious, too. Minami just doesnât get it because you havenât fallen yet. Fumio doesnât want the girls he owns to fight with each other. The girls too donât want to do anything Fumio doesnât want them to do. If theyâre not good, he wonât let his thing inâă ăHey!ă ăItâs not a good idea to have that in the classroom early in the morning.  ăHaha, itâs okay, no oneâs listening. But the fact is, sooner or later, itâll be as effective a deterrent as a nuke. The only difference between nukes and those is whether you want them to go off or notă ăI donât know what to say. All I know is that I was a fool to ask Camilia-san for helpă ăI cowered, and she smiled.  ăWell, Iâm sure Minami will figure it out soon enough. Once youâve fallen, youâll wonder why you didnât want toă ăAbsolutely notă ăI made up my mind not to talk to this girl anymore.
