Natsumi told me that ćIt seems suspiciousć, but still, I was curious, so I still went to the rooftop.
And nowā¦ in front of me were five male students.
I had a feeling Iād seen them before, they look like some of the students who had confessed to meā¦ all of them.
The back door was closed right after I walked onto the rooftop.
I didnāt check if it was locked, but I feel like itās dangerous to turn around to checkā¦
I know Iāve verbally abused them, but Iām not going to hear every word these people say, nor am I going to take them seriously.
Perhaps feeling impatient from my lack of response, one of the boys approached me.
I backed away to get some distance, but it was impossible on the rooftop and I was stuck against the wall.
I shook off the hand that was reaching for me and moved away.
āLetās take bets on how long you can keep running away.ā
The boys who were looking at me with grins started to do something.
I knew that if I got caught, I wouldnāt be able to beat them even through force.
However, I was still trapped on the rooftop with no place to escape.
āWhat do you think youāre doing!? Stop this immediately! Get away from me!ā
My arm was caught, and this time I couldnāt shake it off.
āOops~ game over.ā
āMeā¦ in a place like thisā¦ what am I doingā¦?ā
Even at a time like this, I couldnāt help but think of all the things that had happened in the past few days.
I couldnāt tell Takanashi-san how I really felt, and I could only tell him what I thought as the vice president.
That part aloneā¦ it had declared that I was equating Takanashi-san with people who would do something like this, and now I knew the reason for that sad face.
Iām patheticā¦ I lack compassion for othersā¦ the fact that I made Takanashi-san sadā¦ up until nowā¦ and my current situationā¦
Various kinds of thoughts overlappedā¦ and Iā¦ before I even realized, was already crying in tears.
And the boy who was holding my arm apparently thought I had given upā¦ he put his hand on my chin and made my face turn upwards.
I hurriedly tried to shake it off.
Takanashi-sanā¦
āāāāāāāāāāāāāā
(Kazunariās PoV)
Just before I approached the entrance to the roof, I stopped and moved slowly.
When I got to a position where I could clearly see the entrance, it was definitely closedā¦
Sure enough, there was a frivolous-looking guy who was probably on guard duty.
Although he doesnāt seem to notice me as he was peeking at the rooftop through the gaps in the door.
As I was sneaking up on himā¦
VP: āWhat do you think youāre doing!? Stop this immediately! Get away from me!ā
Thatā¦ thereās no way I could have mistaken itā¦ thatās Senpaiās voice.
I heard an angry, screaming voice from the rooftopā¦ a voice I had never heard before from Senpai.
I couldnāt control myself anymore.
I kicked the bum of the frivolous guy who was looking into the door from right behind, causing him to hit his face on the door and roll around in pain, and deliberately opened the door with a loud bang to draw more attention to me.
As I ran out onto the rooftop, I saw several frivolous guys in front of me.
I looked around.
And as I surveyed the areaā¦
I saw senpaiās arm caught by a guyā¦
And I could see senpai cryingā¦
I felt blood draining out of my veins, or maybe blood rushed to my head insteadā¦?
I couldnāt care less about the details anymore.
It didnāt matter what senpai thought of me.
Thereās just one thing I cared about, and that was the fact that these guys made senpai sad and hurt her!
That day in junior high school, when that guyā¦ when Yuzuhaā¦
Unlike that day when Yuzuha criedā¦ I was completely out of my mind.
Actually, I can barely stop myself.
With the momentum I had gained from plunging through the halfway to the rooftop, I charged at them.
āWhat the h**l are you doing, you b*stard!!!ā
Senpai was startled as I used the momentum to punch the man a little further away from her.
I kicked the fallen guy in the gut, and when I saw no sign of him getting up, I calmed myself down a bit by holding in my ragged breath.
With the fallen guy behind me, the other guys stood there and stared at me in astonishment.
Thereās nothing I can do if they all come at once.
What should I do? Should I take senpai away and escape? But this is no time to be worrying.
āTakanashi-san!ā
Then, a tiny figure jumped right beside meā¦ it was senpai who was cryingā¦
I was glad that she was safe, and I wanted to prioritize that feeling, but first I needed to get my head around how to get through this.
G1: āHey youā¦ What the h*ll do you think youāre doing!ā
Apparently, the morons who had been frozen in place had rebooted, and spouted their usual line of idiocy.
