Chapter 43: HEROINE GOT AN INJURY - [I]
"Oh, right. I have to go somewhere, so someone else has to take my place, hmm? Well, Yuigahama-san it is."
"H-huh?"
"Well, then... Later. Don't make any unnecessary noises, okay, everyone?"
...
The reason I chose Yuigahama-san to mind the class is only for the sole reason that she might become one of my tools. Yes, a tool. A tool that will help me in conquering the heroine named Yukino Yukinoshita.
She is not excellent at studying, as evidenced by the fact that she had the lowest test scores in the last exam, so this is the perfect time, when she was occupied supervising everyone in the classroom, to find out if she possessed any positive traits or not. I'm also not sure about the physical activities right now, but we'll find out when the time comes. Furthermore, currently, it is unnecessary to be aware of the latter.
But still...
How dare they talk about Shikimori-san like that, huh? I don't remember or hear anything that made them think like this about her and talk like this.
All I know about her is that --
1) She has two best friends, Kyou Nekozaki-san and Yui Hachimitsu-san. I did talk with them one or two times, and I guess they are good fellows of Shikimori-san. They did blush while talking with me but I guess it's because they don't have any interaction with the opposite sex that much.
2) She loves to watch volleyball on the T.V. and I think she wants to make her career in that field.
3) The relationships with the other classmates, I guess it is good. Because she doesn't ignore other people if someone wants to talk with her or wants anything from her, like some heroines of mine who are also not present here.
4) The relationships with the teachers, hmm? Well, I guess it is said to be good if not bad as her score was not that bad like Yuigahama-san, who did score badly but could be said to have a fair relationship with the teachers.
5) She --
[USER, YOU HAVE TO STOP]
Hmm? What are you talking about?
[YOU ARE IGNORING SOMEONE AS YOU CONTINUE TO THINK ABOUT ONE OF YOUR HEROINES IN YOUR MIND. MOREOVER, THE HEROINE WALKING BESIDE YOU WANTS YOUR ATTENTION, SO STOP THIS...]
I see... Well then.
[-_-]
As the system showed me her ugly expression, I sighed lightly and turned my attention as well as my whole body to the girl, who was walking beside me. She has her usual expression on her face, but one could notice that she is somewhat annoyed or frustrated because of me. But why is she here?
When our gazes met, we started at each other while taking some steps toward the infirmary room.
The first one to open her mouth was Origami as she broke our stare and started to look forward. Just what is going on?
"Where are we going?"
Hmm? This is surprising. Does Origami also want to meet her classmate? Well, I will never get an answer if I continue to talk by myself in my mind. Let's ask her...
"Hm? Oh, Origami, what are you doing here?"
"I am just following you, Ren"
"Oh... I see."
I don't know what happened between us to make her this comfortable with me, to call me by my first name. Did I save her also, during my childhood... Hmm? If that's the case then I have a hunch that there is not only one girl who I saved, there are multiple girls, my mind just kicked and showed me some of the events that happened. The event of how I met Himawari also kicked in, and I don't think of the reason why she has this much affection for me.
My development with her comes as a surprise to me. From the looks of other people's perspectives, they would think that we are acquainted with each other, or we have known each other for some time, maybe or maybe not, but I can't think of anything. In my mind, today on the bus, that was my first interaction with her.
"Well, I was just going to the infirmary --"
"Oh, you are going to meet those girls... Well, will you come to see me too, if I get injured or --"
"Of course, Origami. I also care for you..."
[ORIGAMI TOBIICHI: +3 AFFECTION POINTS]
"... or should I say, I give extra care to my friends. And since you are my friend... Wait, you are my friend, right?"
"Oh... That's good then... And, yes, I am your friend..."
After that, we continued to talk about things like what happened in the class, and she told me not everything.
...
*sigh*
I think I understand about the uproar in the classroom earlier, and I think they are just worrying about her, sorry everyone. The reason is --
Shikimori-san injured herself in the neck because she kept swimming for the whole period; she did not even rest for a second during the class, even though sensei kept telling her to do so. Her technique was also a bit off, which altogether caused her neck injury.
I am sighing a lot these days because of these so-called heroines. Origami did tell me why Shikimori-san has to go to the Infirmary room, but she did not tell me why Shikimori Miyako has to act like this recklessly. Origami just said that I should ask her the question of why she has to behave like this.
I think I have to ask her by myself. Good Grief.
.
..
After some walking, we reached the Infirmary room which is situated on the first floor of our school building, where the second years' homerooms also lie. There is not a single noise coming from the classrooms as we continue to make our way to our destination.
I also took a peek inside the class and noticed that Uotani Senpai and Hanajima Senpai were sitting beside each other. It seems that one of them forgot to bring their book, so they have to share one book. The teacher who is teaching them is --
"..."
I felt someone was looking intensely at me and it was the teacher herself, Chabashira Sae, our homeroom teacher as well as the History teacher. Oh, I shouldn't have peeked inside. Well, whatever.
..
We knocked at the closed door of the Infirmary room, and after a few seconds, someone opened it, then I started to observe the inside of that room. The one who opened the door is an adult, so I think she is the charge of this infirmary.
Then my gaze went to the three girls, who were standing behind the slouching pink-haired girl, who was comfortably sitting on the bed near the window. They all are talking with each other, well not all of them.
"Oh, why are you here, students? What's your business, hmm? Is one of you not feeling well --"
"No, we both are fine. The reason is because of someone who got herself injured during the swimming class, I am here to see if Shikimori-san is feeling fine or not."
"Oh, I-I see. Hmm, well she is doing good. And I think she will be back to her normal self, after one week of rest, so -- H-hey"
The sensei started to answer my question that Shikimori-san was doing good. She just needs some good rest but this damn system immediately took control over my body and now I am walking towards the pink-haired girl and her, maybe, friends.
[DON'T LI --]
"..."
.
The sensei continued to stop me by calling me out again and again by shouting 'hey', but I didn't stop. I continued to walk towards them and when I reached there; the first one to notice me was Komi-san and when she did she started to look down for some reason.
Hmm? Is she thinking that it's her fault that caused Shikimori-san's injury, hmm? Well, maybe it's her fault but I don't want to imagine it...
"Shikimori-san, are you alright?"
Everyone noticed that I was there, except Shikimori-san who was looking outside the window. I mean, she must have heard that sensei was shouting but still... Well, well.
"Oh, Kaneki-san yes I --"
She immediately turned her face in my direction and she smiled only for a few seconds. But as soon as a small blush formed on her cheek, she stopped smiling. And started to answer me but I interrupted her --
"What were you thinking, hmm?"
I bent my upper body a little bit and made my face go near to her face, she blushed hard at this. But this is not what you think, Shikimori-san, and everyone else who is gazing intensely at me.
"Hai -- Ow"
I flicked her forehead, It was not that strong flick that would hurt her but she still started to rub her forehead as if it was hurting her. I am surprised that she even closed her eyes for a moment there. Good Grief, this girl.
"I heard that you want to become a Volleyball player, huh?"
"Why are you -- Well, yes I will --"
When she stopped her drama of rubbing her forehead, I made myself sit comfortably on the chair which was beside her bed. I sighed lightly as I knew what I was going to say would definitely make Shikimori-san angry or worry, which would lead to making my head hurt, not slightly but very hard. Tch.
.
"You know what, you are too competitive and I think it's the greatest thing you have, Shikimori-san..."
"..."
"But, if you act this recklessly again then I don't think that you will ever become a great Volleyball player."
"But, but --"
Here it comes. My headache...
"I heard from 'Tobiichi-san' that you acted like this because of me, hmm?"
"Well, yes because they --"
"Ara~ did they say something bad about me, huh?"
"yes"
When I asked her the question, I noticed that she began to radiate some dark aura... Oi, oi. But she did respond to me by nodding her head a bit, she also responded by saying yes in a very low voice.
"I see, I see... But you know what, don't do something like this ever again..."
Upon hearing this, everyone around me shivered a bit but what can I do? Let me take care of those b-- sorry my precious schoolmates, hmm? Leave them to me. I don't need anyone's help.
...
After that talk with her, I and Origami returned to the classroom. As we entered the classroom, the uproar that was going on in the class was silenced again at the sight of me.
Yuigahama-san, standing near the blackboard, folded her hands and started gazing intensely at me when she saw me. She pouted slightly when our eyes met, which made her look cute but she didn't say anything as she silently went towards her seat. Good Grief...
We, I and Origami, also sat in our respective seats, because as soon as we entered the class the teacher also came and was standing near the door. She was looking frustrated for some reason, or one can say sleep-deprived. What is going on with these heroines, huh?
"Where are your seatmates, huh Kaneki-kun?"
"Um, they are at the infirmary because Shikimori-san injured herself in the swimming class. I
don't know the reason but I went to check on her alongside Tobiichi-san and the sensei present there told me that she needs some rest."
"Hmm... Very well... i hope that she is okay."
She hummed and said something under her breath. Everyone is looking at her but it seems no one understands what she just said. But I can take a guess here that she is worried about her, well she is good at hiding her expression but now I am here, so...
Well, after that our class continued just as usual...
