Chapter 3 ā First Year High School\nVolume 2\n<hr class="wp-block-separator is-style-wide">\nThe culprit, Ando, is a member of the tennis club.\n
Our tennis club is not very strong. However, in our school where we donāt put much effort into club activities, it doesnāt really matter how strong we are. Just a guy with a good face, who has the ability to talk and belongs to an athletic club, is popular among girls.\n
He is a little dark-complexioned and of average height. He has bright eyes and is more in the cute category. I often saw him hanging out with the guys in the tennis club.\n
Of course, I didnāt know him. Iāve never even talked to him.\n
We were in different classes and different clubs. We probably donāt even have the same personal relationships.\n
āSo, what to do?\n
This matter needs to be handled carefully. The most important thing is to make sure that Fujisaki is not harmed any further. If an effective measure is not taken, it will only make the situation worse. If he found out that I had obtained information from Fujisaki, it would only lead to another scary situation for Fujisaki.\n\n
I was checking on Ando every step of the way.\n
Morning at school. Recess time. While moving classrooms.\n
Somewhere along the way, Ando always made a move. Andoās harassment of Fujisaki has continued. The harassment must be carried out by Ando himself. If that is the case, Ando will be alone at that time.\n
However, he doesnāt show an opening right away. Different classes have different class schedules, so itās difficult to keep track of whatās going on in other classes.\n\n
After school.\n
I didnāt go home, nor did I go to the club activities, but waited in the library for the tennis club to finish their practice. Since I wasnāt on duty today, I had nothing special to do. I spread out my study materials, and as I move my pen, my mind turns to the outside of the window.\n
The weather was sunny as if yesterday had been a lie. The warm sun shone down on the entire ground.\n \n
Outside the window, various sports clubs were practicing.\n
The tennis club had about 60 students in three grades. They occupied about half of the ground, shooting balls at each other with rackets.\n
Ando was one of them.\n
To be honest, I donāt really know how good the tennis players are. There were rallies going on between him and his opponents at a reasonable speed.\n
The way he was smiling so briskly, it was hard to believe that he was the one harassing Fujisaki.\n \n
After about three hours, the tennis club practice was finally over.\n
The time was six oāclock in the afternoon. A part of the sky was turning red. The sun would be setting in about half an hour.\n
I put away my study materials and left the library.\n
When I walked up the stairs and returned to my classroom, there was no one there.\n
I put my bag down on my seat.\n
Those who were engaged in club activities were in the club room, on the field, or in the gym. Those who were not doing club activities had already gone home. So, unless there is something significant going on, there is no need to be in the classroom at this time of the day.\n
Thatās why when I heard footsteps in the hallway, I thought, āThis is itā.\n \n
I stood up and leaned against the wall on the hallway side. There was no point in being seen here. I waited for the footsteps to pass in front of the classroom before I looked through the door window to see who it was.\n \n
It was Ando.\n
Ando was carrying a huge racket case on his back, drying his sweat-soaked hair with a towel as he walked. He immediately stepped into the classroom next door.\n
Carefully pulling the door shut so as not to make a sound, I stepped out into the hallway.\n
I sneaked a peek at the classroom next door.\n
Ando was the only one in there. Looking around to make sure no one else was in the room, he placed his racket case on the table.\n
I move away from the door and decided to wait for a while.\n
I could hear noises coming from the classroom besides me. I had no idea what he was doing. It was an unpleasant sound. As the harassment progressed, Fujisaki had began to leave no personal items in the classroom. Her desk, for example, should be empty.\n
I decided it was time to take a look inside through the door window.\n \n
Ando was standing in front of Fujisakiās desk. His eyes were cold as if the practice timeās face had been a lie. In his hand, he was holding a utility knife.\n
The gnashing sound echoed again.\n
In his other hand was a book. He was ripping the book on Fujisakiās desk.\n
I wondered what the book was. I stared at the book intently.\n
Then I realized.\n
It was a quiz book that Fujisaki and I had discussed and decided to keep in the library. I could also remember my date with Fujisaki at the bookstore.\n
āDamn.\n
ā¦I was so angry.\n
I was disgusted by him, to begin with, but now I was even more disgusted than before.\n
How did he know that this was the new book that Fujisaki had proposed?\n
Ando continued to plunge the knife into the quiz book, oblivious to my gaze. The paper was shredded into pieces. The book, which had been one whole block, was slowly being broken down into smaller parts.\n
āThatās enough.\n \n
I opened the door as loudly as I could.\n
Andoās body shook with a start. It was too late for him to hide. I walked up to him and asked,Ā \n
āWhat are you doing?ā\n
On Fujisakiās desk, a large number of pieces of paper that he could not hide fell. I forcefully grabbed the ones that Ando had hidden behind his back and dropped them on the floor.\n
The quiz book was no longer in its original form. I picked it up, suppressing my anger as much as possible.\n \n
Ando was looking at me with a frightened gaze.\n\n
