About an hour before my visit to Nekoto-chanā¦\n
āHow could you be so reckless?ā\n
For confronting a man with a knife, I was made to sit on the floor and lectured by the Class-rep.\n
The Class-rep is like a small child with a babyface, but now she looks so angry that I even think she is a Hannya.\n
Iāve never seen her this angry before.\n
āWell, since Yorito was not injured and the man could be seizedāā\n
āShut up, Emura-kun!ā\n
āYe, yes!ā\n
Shota, feeling sorry for me as I was being yelled at, tried to intervene, but the class rep yelled at him and he immediately backed down.\n
The class rep is scary when sheās really angry.\n
The people around us were watching us and whispering, but I wondered what they were thinking of us.\n
Some of them are taking pictures of us, and Iām worried that it will spread on social media.\n
āBut if Yorito hadnāt stepped in to stop them, either Nekoto-chan or Clara-chan would have been stabbed.ćI donāt think it was a mistake for Yorito to do what he did.ā\n
āThat was just the result. What if Kazahaya-kun was stabbed?ā\n
āI am sure Yorito could handle it. In fact, he would have been the best choice for the job.ā\n
āWhat do you mean ā¦ā¦?ā\n
The class rep who heard Minatoās words questioned him and stared at my face quizzically.\n
It was Minato who said the words, but it seemed as if she was asking for an explanation from my mouth.\n
Butā\n
āItās a confidential matter. ā¦ā¦ā\n
I couldnāt speak about it so easily, so I decided to keep my mouth shut.\n
āOhā¦..?ā\n
In addition to being in a bad mood, the class rep who had been misled lifted her eyebrows in displeasure.\n
Itās even scarier, but I still canāt speak.\n
Itās a coincidence that Minato knows about it.\n
Itās not like I volunteered to tell him.\n
āWhat are you talking about?ā\n
Behind the class rep, Shota, who doesnāt know my secret, asks Minato, but Minato shrugs and tilts his head.\n
Iām sure heās not going to tell anyone because I covered it up.\n
āHey, what are you hiding?ćCome on, tell me. Hurry up .ā\n
And on my side, the class rep was tugging on both my cheeks, trying to get me to tell her my secret.\n
She should be angry, but the class repās expression is somewhat happy.\n
Maybe she is a Secret Sā¦\n
āKhanāt thell yhouā\n
I couldnāt pronounce the words properly as my cheeks were being pulled, but I still told the class rep that I wouldnāt speak.\n
The class repās face relaxed into a nasty grin.\n
It was as if to say that she could do more torture.\n
I have a feeling sheās a secret S.\n
āClass rep, itās time for you to stop, since youāre in the publicā¦..ā.\n
Minato, who was slightly taken back by the class repās happy expression, looked around and smiled bitterly at the class rep.\n
It was the first time the class rep seemed to understand what kind of situation we were in.\n
āWhat! When did we get surrounded?ā\n
The class rep looked at the many people surrounding us as if they were watching a freak show and made a surprised noise.\n
Apparently, she was too angry to notice that we were surrounded.\n
āItās only natural that they would take notice since the man who appeared out of nowhere like a hero saved Nekoto-chan and his friends in a pinch. Itās not normal to seize a man with a knife with your bare hands.ā\n
Yes, Minato was right, I was getting a lot of attention from the people around me even after I got off the stage.\n
When I returned to Minato and the others in that state, the class repās sermon time began.\n
Everyone looked at me as if they were surprised when I was suddenly made to sit on the floor.\n
I think thatās why they were all looking at us so much.\n
āā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā\n
āUm, Class rep ā¦ā¦? I think itās too late to hide your face now. ā¦ā¦?ā\n
Iām not sure if it was embarrassing that she was preaching with so many people watching her, but the class rep buried her face in my arms and hugged me, but I couldnāt deny that it was too late.\n
āIt canāt be helped. ā¦ā¦! This is Kazehaya-Kunās fault,ā¦ā¦!ā\n
āWell, I wonāt deny that, but ā¦.ā\n
If I hadnāt gone on stage, she wouldnāt have gotten so angry and attracted so much attention, so I canāt deny it.\n
But if you hug me like this, youāre going to get a lot of attention,ā¦ā¦.\n
Many people are pointing their phone cameras at us, and I really think this is spreading on social media.\n
Thereās nothing I can do about it now, so I wonāt do anything useless like stopping it. ā¦ā¦\n
Iām getting a bit of a headache.\n
āMore importantly, itās a huge messā¦ā¦ I hope you are not punished for anything, Clara-chan. ā¦ā¦ā\n
Since sermon time is practically over, Minato, who is supporting Clara-chan, changes the subject and made an anxious sound.\n
The way he looked at me when he did that, I could tell he was asking for my opinion.\n
To be honest, I think Clara-chanās punishment will be unavoidable.\n
If only Clara-chan hadnāt answered when the man pointed a knife at her, the office would have moved to protect her, considering her popularity.\n
For example, it could be said that the man with the knife was making assumptions or saying crazy things.\n
However, Clara-chan answered.\n
She had admitted that she had been getting tribute from that man.\n
The presence of the man with the knife kept the audience away from the stage to some extent, but there were still people who heard the speech.\n
If that was the case, the agency would have to take some sort of action.\n
In the worst-case scenario, they might even consider dismissing Clara-chan.\n
Their popularity has been on the rise lately, and since the agency itself is apparently not very big, they canāt afford to lose the popularity of their signature girls.\n
In addition, Nekoto-chanās action in defending Clara-chan earlier should win the hearts of many people.\n
If thatās the case, then youāll want to team up Arisa-chan, who has the voice of an angel, and Nekoto-chan, whose popularity is sure to soar. Itās not surprising that they would want to cut Clara-chan, whose popularity has plummeted and is dragging them down.\n
Itās a tough decision to make, but itās not uncommon in the entertainment industry.\n
āā¦.. Sorry, can you go home first?ā\n
I have been thinking about something, and I urged Minato and the others to go home first.\n
āWhere are you going ā¦ā¦?ā\n
The class rep, who was still burying her face in my arm, looked at me anxiously as I tried to leave her alone.\n
I hesitated to leave her, seeing her expression like a young child, but I still wanted to give priority to something else right now, so I gently let go of her hand.\n
Then, I decided to let Minato take care of the rest.\n
āI just remembered something that I need to do.ā\n
āButā!ā\n
āItās okay, just let him do what he wants. Thereās nothing to worry about.ā\n
Minato, who is very perceptive in these situations, pulled the class repās arm to stop her, just as he did when the man with the knife appeared.\n
Iām sure he understands that Iām about to do something that involves Nekoto-chan and the others, even if he doesnāt know what Iām going to do.\n
This time its Clara-chan, and Iām sure Minato would want to do something about it.\n
āIām sorry for Minato, but Iām not going to help Clara-chan even if it means severe punishment.\n
Not that I donāt have any hands to play, but I hate things that twists the facts and covering them up.\n\n
