7 Chapter 7

"You're going back to your world?"

"Well yeah, we got to report back to the King and stuff"

"I see, just take care okay?"

"Geez Kyoro, we're not child anymore, and if you're that worry you can just come with us"

"I'd like to but, I still have a little sister to take care of"

Collette and Sidabras are in my house right now, they we're bidding their farewell. They said that they have to return to Noea to report. I can understand that since they're literally the representative of the world Noea in this world.

They asked me if I want to return to that world, to be honest, I'd love to but I still need to take care of Yumi, especially that she's so busy with her training, she can't even cook of her own food now due to her weariness.

"We will be back as soon as we finished our task Nii…"

After that, they leave the house. Now that Sidabras and Collette are gone, who's going to train the Potential Heroes? When I asked Sidabras about that, she said that Richard is the one who will teach them.

I can tell that Richard is pretty strong, so I guess leaving the students to him is a right choice. The days continue to flow without a problem, good thing that monster don't appear randomly, Goblins and Trolls usually appears from the forest while sea monsters only appears in the sea, of course.

With the help of the other worlders, the monsters in this world are handled splendidly. Also, humans in this world already figure out to create some weapons with monster material, I just hope it goes well.

"I should go to school"

Wearing my uniform, I left our house and when I was about to took a step, someone called me.

"Akuzaki"

It's Taki, my former classmate. He's wearing school uniform just like me, he approaches me with a beaming smile on his face. He's too bright.

"Oh Kasai, what are you doing here?"

"I'm waiting for you"

Oh god, I'm not into Yaoi, I don't like it.

"Why?"

"Well… It's about Yumi"

"Yumi?"

I started to walk and he follows right behind me. If he plans to pursue me until we reach the school, I will run, I will run like my life depends on it.

"So what about Yumi?"

"You see… I like Yumi"

"… You should tell Yumi that not me"

"Hahahaha, I already said it to Yumi, but she said that she's busy with the training"

"Heeeh, that's so Yumi like"

Instant rejection huh? It will sting like hell if you got rejected instantly, I'm sure that Taki is quite sad right now.

We continue to walk with the awkward atmosphere with us, a minute has passed and Taki finally spoke again.

"So I want you to help me Onii-san"

"Go away, don't call me Onii-san, we're the same age you know??"

"But if Yumi and I get married, you will definitely become my Onii-san"

"Do that when you and Yumi got married, for now, call me like always"

What the hell is that? I suddenly get a shivers when he called me Onii-san, I'm not into that kind of shit. And don't get too excited with Yumi, Yumi is just fourteen you know? You're a lolicon you know?

"Why do you want my help anyways, why would you think that I would help you?"

"...…."

"What the heck, you came here expecting me to help you even though you're making move on my little sister"

"...….."

"And if you truly love Yumi, you should approach her not me, I'm the type of person that would not meddle with other people's love life"

"..."

"You're silent for a while now, did something happen?"

"N-no, I somehow got an impression that you're older than me in many ways"

Crap, my real age is showing, I should deceive him.

"T-that? I just read it in a book"

Taki nodded. Good thing he's naïve. This conversation is making me uncomfortable; it's about my sister after all.

"But you have a good point Kyoro, I should show my sincerity to Yumi"

You're calling me Kyoro now since I rejected you from calling Onii-san.

"Right? If that's all, then we should depart now"

"Depart? We're going to the school together right?"

"Guh"

I think I know the reason why Taki-kun has a huge fanbase, if I were a girl and he does this stuff to me, I would immediately pull my panty down. In the end, I was forced to enter the school together while receiving the jealous gaze of the girls. I feel like I'm going to puke.

*

Earlier, I was called in the office by the teachers, they said that I should abstain from absents. They said that even if I somehow always manage to get in the top, it's not enough if I kept being absent.

I guess I'm just harvesting my own shit huh? It's a pain but I should obey them this time, I don't want to repeat a year.

As I walk in the hallway, I spotted a familiar face. It's Yamada Ami, she looks normal, her face is normal, and I don't remember any outstanding characteristics from her. Long black hair and black pupils, her eyes are somewhat emotionless but it fits her. She had a normal body, not slim but not curvy either. She's my classmate, a normal girl.

She's holding a pile of papers, her face is covered by the paper as she walks.

"Ah"

She fell, the papers are slowly falling to the ground as she looks at the documents. What a hopeless girl. I approach her and start picking up the papers. She then looks at me with baffled expression but she soon understands that I'm here to help.

"Thank you…"

"You're welcome, do you want me to hold those for you?"

"No, I don't want to trouble you anymore than this"

"It's not a trouble, besides, it's pretty unreasonable for you to carry all this stuff all by yourself"

"....."

We reached the teachers office and open the door. I could feel the nervousness of Yamada as the teacher stares into us. Our advisor notices us and opens his mouth.

"Yamada? Where's Yosie?"

"S-she's just busy…"

I see, so originally, Yosie and Yamada are the one that supposed to bring the paper here, but Yosie somehow left. We give the paper and left the place, as we head back to the classroom, Yamada spoke.

"Thank you"

"Again? Anyway. I know that it's random but… You're bullied right?"

Yamada flinch when she hears me, looks like I'm right. But I bet she will deny it.

"Y-you're wrong…"

See? She's scared that her bullies will get angry if they found out that she told me this. Yamada clinch her fist and starts to speak.

"I'm fine, you don't have any proof that I'm being bullied"

"Proof? How about the fact that you tripped even though there's no obstacle in the way?"

"That? My face was covered by the paper so I can't see well, so that's why I tripped"

"Is that really it? Is covering your eyes affects your motor skills that greatly? I think the real reason why you tripped is because of your legs hurt. But I wonder where did you get that? It must be a HUGE accident for you to be affected this greatly"

"...…."

"Well, it's not my problem. If you want to keep your silent, then do. But if you feel like you want to change… Then I might help you"

I left the dumbfounded Yamada and enter the classroom, I look at the surrounding to find something. There I found Yosie and her group, Yosie is part of the Taki-kun fan base, she's the leader to be exact. She's laughing with her friends, and as soon as they realize that Yamada entered the classroom, they looked at her and laugh louder. They're not even trying to hide it.

Yamada goes back to her seat with her head downcast, she sat quietly and took out a book starts reading it. This is painful to watch. Maybe my classmates already know the situation because no one's approaching her.

I let out a sigh as I observe the scene. First, I'm forced to enter the school with Taki and now, this kind of depressing scene is being played right before me, what a bad day I have.

*

The dark clouds had gather and covers the blue sky. Yep, it's raining. The fields became muddy so practicing with magic was held for a moment, the bell would soon ring so I better get ready. In times like this, I just want to lay in bed and sleep.

After the class ended, the downpour became heavy, it would be a suicide to go out without a umbrella. I reached my locker and change my shoes, as I do this, I saw Yamada looking at the dark sky. She's waiting for something?

"Waiting for someone?"

Yamada became surprised with my greetings, I look at her and noticed that she doesn't have any umbrella with her, I thought that her umbrella is in her bag but since she's here for quite some time now I rejected that idea.

Don't tell me she doesn't have one. I thought.

"You don't have any umbrella?"

"I-I just forgot to bring one"

She smiled but it was forced. I see, so it was taken huh? I open my collapse umbrella and look at her.

"Do you use a bus or train?"

"I use bus, why?"

"Then let's go together, I ride bus myself"

"No, I don't want to trouble you Akizuki-kun, the rain would stop sooner so I'm just going to wait here"

"The rain is pretty strong, so it would be better if for you to come with me"

"But—"

"Let's go"

I forcefully grab her hand and starts walking, since I use a bit of force, Yamada was dragged by me. We share the umbrella as we exit the school gate. We need to get out of here as fast as possible, Yosie and her lackeys are waiting for me to leave her, they're definitely up to something bad.

We remain silent as we walk, the only audible noise are the raindrops falling from the sky. My right shoulder become wet because of the rain, it's a collapse umbrella so it can't fully support two people.

"A-Akizuki-kun… You're hand…"

"Sorry…"

I quickly retract my hand as soon as I notice that I was still holding hers, I averted my gaze and decided to look at the scenery. From the perspective of the outsider, we definitely looked like a couple. What do do, the atmosphere became awkward.

"By the way, what kind of magic can you use Yamada?"

"Magic? I can use Elemental Magic… But that's about it"

"Heeh, I can use Elemental Magic too"

"Really?"

"Of course, [Flagrare Pyr]"

"Black flame..!"

"Cool right? It was thought to me by an acquaintance"

"You know someone who could use magic this well? It must be a genius"

"You could say that"

We continue to chat until we reached the bus stop, the shed we're using is pack with people, the air became moist and hot, this is the reason why I hate crowd. The bus finally arrived and the crowd enters the bus all at once.

Crap, it's so crowded; I want to get out of here as soon as possible.

Looking at Yamada, she's being squashed by the people around her. Her eyes were closed and her hands were retracted to her chest. What a hopeless girl.
