Standing in front of the washbasin, I took the hair wax.
ăHow many years since I bought this one?âŠă
I mutter as I look at the container of the hair wax in my right hand.
I bought this hair wax a day before Valentineâs.
However, even I wanted to dream. A letter fixed with a chocolate on the shoebox or my desk when I go to the school.
So I set my hair with hair wax for the first time on Valentineâs day, I went to school, and came home empty handed.
Ridiculous. Thereâs no way that dream would be true. Even if you dream, reality would only make it futile. I thought.
After I raped Asahina, I used her to make Yuka my slave.
I took advantage of their weakness and have them follow me.
She abides me to help Asahina would mean the same as the two but sheâs not following it unwillingly. I know that much.
Sheâs grateful of me so she probably fell for me. If itâs YukaăŒ.
ăI-If I fix my hair, she might notice itâŠă1
Muttering as my heart throb, I opened the lid of the hair wax and applied it on my finger.
Right now, perhaps, Iâm enjoying youth for the first time.
Preparing to go to school, I went to the living room to eat breakfast.
Entering the living room, I saw my mother making breakfast in the kitchen.
ăMorningă
Greeting her, mother looked up and saw me.
ăM-Morning, Motaă
Mother returned the greeting with a smile. But, itâs somewhat cold.
Even after entering school, I was using my ability as I like until I acquired common sense. I was treated like a monster in the school because of that but the closes who Iâm making contact to are my parents.
Thanks to that, my parents, especially my mother who has a lot of contact with me has a very cold attitude.
Well, Iâm still thankful for them that they didnât take me to the hospital as an experiment material, nor throw me because Iâm a monster.
Taking my seat, I silently ate my breakfast.
Mother sat in front of me is also silent. Iâll normally answer if she talk to me but itâs rare for mother to talk to me.
ăM-Motaă
However, mother began to talk. I looked up her face in surprise.
ăYour hair looks coolă3
Mother says with a smile
ăW-well, I feel like itâŠă
Answering mother with a smile, I withdrew my gaze.
I throbbed. Whoâd thought she notice my hair? No, I thought sheâd just be silent even if she noticed.
ăRightă
Mother voices when she heard.
Just what is my mother thinking? What is she thinking of me?
Though I have the urge to confirm my motherâs insides, I stopped it.
Maybe because itâs scary. Iâm afraid that I will know Iâm disliked.
I drink my coffee when I finish my breakfast, then the interphone rang.
ăCould it be Ito-san?ă
Mother washing the dish in the kitchen, wondered who it is and went out of the kitchen.
Before long, I heard motherâs voice from the door. Was the visitor the neighbor, Ito-san as mother expected? It seems sheâs talking at the door.
Itâs because my mother stays away from home every weekend to take care of my father whoâs away from work. For that reason, the neighbors comes on Monday morning.
ăN-Nice to meet you. I-I a-a-a-am Suzuhara-kunâs f-friend, T-T-Tamoe Yukaă
I spit out my ko-fi when I heard the voice.
Looking through the wall with my ability, I saw the door.
My motherâs standing in the door, and in front of her isăŒăŒI really didnât hallucinate.
ăHey heyă
The panicking me stood up and approached the wall of the living room.
I didnât tell her not to come. But I told her that motherâs coming home./ Thatâs why I thought she wonât come till the weekend.
ăE-errâŠM-Motaâs friend?ă
ăM-Mota?ă
Mother asked with her eyes doubting and Yuka tilts her head.
ăA-Ah, Motaâs name is Motarou, right? Thatâs why Iâve been calling him Mota for a long timeă
ăI-I see!ă
Yukaâs eyes shine as she nods at motherâs explanation
AAH! Dammit! Stop that!4Â No matter how much you call me Mota, Mota, I hate that name.
ăMomâs naming sense is amazing! Can I call him Mota-kun too?ă
ăUfufu, go onă
Sheâs taciturn in front of me but mother who often turns to the listener while talking with the neighbor somehow talks to Yuka happily.
But, what should I do? Mother would question me a lot if I came out now.
Anyway, itâs a chance when mother calls me. If mother calls me, Iâll go through the front door, lightly answer hee, pass through and come out of the house like that.
ăBy the way, uhm, Tamoe-sană
ăYuka is fine! Please call me Yuka, mom!ă5
Yuka straightens herself when mother ask her and she speaks out while blushing.
ăT-Then, Yuka-sană
Mother who was overpowered with Yukaâs force puts her hand on her lips, cleared her throat and asked Yuka.
ăC-Could it be, Iâm only thinking that perhapsâŠcould it be, youâre Motaâs girlfriend?ă
Mother asks the timid Yuka. That came out in the end. I beg you Yuka, try to wash it away.
Hey! Why are you shaking!? Parry it lightly. Youâll get doubted!
The blushing Yukaâs eyes are swimming around and she unnaturally laughs with a shaking voice.
I thoughtăŒ.
ăI-I-Iâm sorry! Itâs accidentally asked a hard question to an adolescent girl! Mota would get angry at me!ă
I thought sheâd go asking the shaking Yuka but my motherâs also shaking like Yuka.
In short, Yukaâs not my girlfriend but, when my mother asked, she got troubled as she doesnât know how to answer. Yukaâs panicking appearance can be seen by motherâs eyes.
When I thought that.
ăI-I-I-I-Iâm far from his girlfriend! For me to become Mota-kunâs girlfriend! Iâm just Motaâs sefuăŒă6
Yuka raises her voice while becoming bright red. Hearing those words, I squatted on the place feeling helpless.
Youâve done it. You baka!7, Youâve fucking done it!
ăSefu?ă
Mother tilts her head.
Itâs over. Itâll surely come out.
ăS-Sefu!9ă
However, Yuka raised her voice while colored crimson and she spreads her arms.
ăSafe! Safe, safe! Ahahahaha! The night game baseball yesterday was a climax isnât it?! I got excited when I remembered it! it was an infield hit nine time two out third base10 The player who kicked the third base slide to the home base, safe safe! Goodbye reversal! like thatâŠă
Spreading out her hands horizontally, Yuka desperately explains and she looked at mother when she finished. Then she laughed.
My speechless mother tilts her head while smiling.
ăYuka-chan loves baseball. Iâm not well informed with it but I think itâs amazingă
Mother was somehow convinced with motherâs explanation, she laughs while applying her hand on her cheek. Yuka felt relieved when she saw mother doing that.
Still, it got me in panic. I thought my heart stopped.
I thought that I should leave the house as soon as possible, I went to the door on a quick pace, silently put on the shoes, lightly greeted out mom and went out of the door.
Mother hadnât said anything in particular when we left out of the house. She just waved with a smile.
I thought that sheâd stop us but we managed to avoid further problems.
Walking silently, Yuka walks and sticks behind me.
She seems to be reflecting from almost saying sex friend and now sheâs uneasy if I dislike her.
Yuka intends to keep our relation a secret. The proof is that she lied to mother. In short, Yukaâ proven to be a safe person.
ăIâm not angry. You should just pay attention next timeă
Talking to Yuka whoâs walking in the back, she sped up and walked next to me. She looked up to me then bowed.
ăI-Iâm really sorry. I thought that it was rude for me to think that Iâm Mota-kunâs girlfriend so I thought that Iâll remove the misunderstanding, my head got full andâŠă
Apologizing as she bow, she sent an upward glance to me.
Yukaâs ears are bright read, she looks embarrassed but she laughed gladly.
Even if sheâs trained, there are those who only give whips, there are those who use carrot and stick properly and thereâs a guy who prefers giving a lot of candies.
If I manipulate her well, I can make use of her talents.
Having those thoughts, I patted Yukaâs head and she looked up at me. AndăŒ.
ăYour hair looks coolă
Saying that, she smiled while her ears are bright red.
ăWellâŠthanksă
Withdrawing my gaze from Yuka, I answered while scratching my head.
I want you to notice but itâs embarrassing when you did. However, werllâŠitâs not bad.
Arriving at the school, I separate from Yuka in the corridor and entered my classroom.
ăAsahina-san, good morning!ă
ăAh, you sly! I also want to go together with Asahina-san!ă
ăMe too, me tooă
Asahinaâs sitting down on her seat. The schoolgirls gathered around her are calling her out.
Time has passed since the delinquent group is annihilated and it seems that they have spread the rumor that it was Asahinaâs act properly.
The attention paid to me would be lost.
Fufu, as long as thereâs half of the punishment, there would be half of the calculation no matter what you think.
That said, itâs amazing how they flatter Asahina. Abandoning Asahina, they already ignored her but they changed their attitude quickly when the situation changed.
Perhaps, someone has to become a sacrifice so they can return as followers of Asahina. Itâs the girl who âsuggestedâ to abandon Asahina.
Looking around the classroom with those thoughts, I found a schoolgirl standing alone in the corner of the classroom. Itâs the schoolgirl who had such power after Asahina lost it.
Arenât you girls a greater demon than I am?
The surroundings made a commotion. They thought that Asahina who recovered her power would pass down the iron hammer on the sacrifice.
The schoolgirl standing in the corner of the room had her face turn pale when she saw Asahina coming close to her. And she looked around while trembling, thereâs nowhere to run, nor a friend to help her either.
ăYouâre alone?ă
Asahina stops in front of the schoolgirl, put her right hand on her waist, looked down on the schoolgirl with a coercive attitude, and called her out.
Ridicule sounds in the classroom. The followers of Ashina began laughing as they see the iron hammer is being given to the sacrifice.
After all, they betrayed the betrayer. They donât know when they will become the sacrifice?
Theyâre struckăŒ. I think that theyâd be much more stiff the more theyâre suspected.
ăThatâs a coincidence. I was also a loner till recentlyă
ăEh?ă
The scorn suddenly stopped. The schoolgirl looks up at Asahina.
ăYouâre lucky. Youâre a loner right now. Value it if thereâs a person who called you out. Falling at the bottom becomes the biggest chance. When you fall on the very bottom, the only person who stretch their hand is the true friend. And surely theyâll become a good friend for lifeă
Saying that, Asahina presents out her right hand towards the schoolgirl.
ăAs a person who also fell on the bottom, donât you think that we can understand each other?ă
The schoolgirlâs eyes opened wide from Asahinaâs words, her face crumpled and she shed tears like rain. And she took Asahinaâs hand with trembling hands.
ăItâs often said to be afraid of failure but it doesnât mean that you should fail without thinking. Theyâll speak ill of you if you fail. Insult you. Abandon you. Understanding that youâre driven in such a situation, donât fear and rise. Thatâs what I understood from falling down belowă
The schoolgirl stares at the narrating Asahina.
ăHowever, humans arenât that strong. When standing up, isnât it good when someone helps? No, itâs really a happy thing when someone holds out their handă
Asahinaâs voice quieted the classroom.
I was irritated seeing such spectacle.
Fufun, well fine. You can be the queen of the kill as much as you want till itâs late. If I acquire the technique to make Yuka ahegao, I would be invincible. Iâll make you ahegao with just one finger.
Till then, you should enjoy the brief moment of being queen.
Lunchtime, Asahina stood from her seat. Sheâs going to eat lunch with Yuka as usual, when I though sheâs going out of the classroom, Ashina went to the desk of the schoolgirl whoâs crying greatly.
ăIâll introduce my best friend to you. However, that child is my great breast friend Iâll get angry if you steal heră
Ashina calls out the schoolgirl sitting alone, she presented her right hand while closing one of her eyes.
The schoolgirl blushes an felt flustered, nodded while laughing embarrassed, she tried to grasp the stretched hand.
ăY-Yuu-chan tasuketeeeăŒ!ă
A sudden scream echoes in the classroom. The schoolgirl who tried to grasp Asahinaâs hand trembled and Yuka run into the classroom the next moment.
Yuka whoâs about to cry rushes inside the room and met with my eyes. As soon as she did, she smiled as if not panicking at all and waved her hand. But, she looked around the classroom in panic immediately after.
ăYukaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!ă
A roaring shout. The schoolgirl who stretched her hand towards Asahina looks around with teary eyes and towards Yukaâs cry, then Yuka rushed looking like a demon.
They desperately felt that they shouldnât involve themselves with Asahina right now.
ăY-Yuu-chan!ă
Contrary to seeing Asahina in surprise, Yuka felt relieved and smiled.
ăYukaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!ă
She recklessly rushed. Asahina charged vigorously while shouting, she clings to Yuka.
ăAre you injured!? Did they do anything cruel!? Say if it hurts okay!? Iâll do pain pain go away!ă
Asahina cheks Yukaâs body while asking.
ăI-Iâm fine. Iâm not injuredă
Though Yuka should be experienced being fondled, it seems that the same ex is different. She has a wry smile floating on her face.
Great. It seems that Yuka doesnât have that hobby. Asahinaâs suspicious.12
ăPlease wait boss! If you hate boss so much I can call you nee-san!ă
The voice echoes, and immediately after, Marina jumped to the classroom.
It seems that sheâs following Yuka even in school.
ăDonât come near me! I told you that I hated you already!ă
The gentle Yuka raised a non-Yuka-like voice. Marina laughed when she heard Yukaâs voice and she stepped forward facing Yuka, then.
Itâs weird that sheâs expressionless. Furthermore, her pupil is open.
ăI donât know who you are but Yuka hates you. Youâre someone Yuka hates. In shortâŠa hostile existenceă
Looking at Marina with open eyes, Asahina murmurs in an indifferent cold voice.
Well, it would be strange if Asahina is obsessed in something sheâs interested in, and she wonât be interesting in something sheâs not.
ăHiiiă
Marina leaks out a small scream when she saw Asahina and she trembled intensely.
ăA-Asa-Asahina, Asahina YuuâŠSană
Marina mutters palely and she withdrew her eyes from Marina and saw me. Then, her face turned paler.
ăI-Iâll be killed by a demooooooooon! Iyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!ă
Marina raised a piercing scream and went out of the classroom at full speed.
Or rather, sheâs scared that she would anger me if she deal with Asahina badly.
Donât worry, Marina. I wonât kill you. However, Iâll kill you in a different meaning.
Still, sheâs not that scared when she look at me but itâs strangely afraid when she saw Asahina and me.
Marina jumps out of the classroom and Asahina sees her escape, the rumor about Asahina would now get credibility.
Because of that, Asahinaâs influence would increase quickly and her power would keep expanding.
Asahinaâs fixated, sheâs favoring someone like itâs the apple of her eyes, an existence sheâs pampering. Itâs Yuka.
Itâs somewhat a strange development but I donât care as long as I can do as I like and fuck beauties. Iâm fine as long as they donât pay attention to me.
That said, neither Ashahina nor Marina noticed my hairstyle.
