Chapter -1

"Ayanokoji-kun, are you alright?"

You can get my sympathy, Ayanokoji. I feel bad for you.

Right now, A girl with long black hair and sharp beautiful eyes was looking down on a student who was 'sleeping'.

It seems like your 'pretend sleep' strategy has failed and now your school life is in trouble.

"Oh Yeah, you too Raphael-chan", I internally flinched at the change of event.

Why did the devil's attention turn to me? The devil with black hair's name is Horkita Suzune. she is in class 1-D, the same class as me.

Just like that Horkita's attention was once again shifted to Ayanokoji.

"If you don't wake up in 3 seconds, you'll face punishments."

Ayanokoji opened his brown eyes and looked at Horikita.

I gulped unconsciously as I thought about 'Punishments'. It seems like Ayanokoji was also not willing to take any 'Punishments'.

"Look, as I expected you were awake, Ayanokoji-Kun"

Ayanokoji looked at Horikita and said, "I already know of your scariness if I make you angry."

"That's good." Horikita looked at me and once again at Ayanakoji and asked

" Then, do you have some time?", Why do I feel like this question was not just aimed at Ayanokoji-kun. It seems like I was also going to turn in a slave. Worry not, I have a better strategy than Ayanokoji.

It's very simple.

I will pretend that I have received a call and excuse myself from here and try to avoid her. I call it 'Mission call'.

But before I could even apply my plan. Ayanokoji looked at me and said," I was invited by Raphael-chan".

'Shit', I forgot I had asked Ayanokoji to teach me about human behavior. And clearly, He is taking advantage of that to Trap me! I can't let that happen!

Horikita replied joyfully, "Oh, what a coincidence, I was about to invite Raphael-chan too."

"...I for-"

Horikita was a step faster and said, "Well... I can't force you both to come, but I will be cranky if you don't." Horikita pulled out a compass from her box and stared at Ayanokoji.

Ayanokoji's eyes were glued to the compass. The compass has some past with him.

She then continued.

"And if I'm cranky, I will be a major obstacle to Ayanokouji-kun's normal school life. Hmm, for example, countless thumbtacks on your chair, spraying water on your head whenever you enter the bathroom, and sometimes stabbing you with a compass needle. That kind of behavior, yup."

Ayanokoji complained, "That's just plain harassment! Also, that last one seems strangely real as if I remember already being stabbed!"

"Don't be so scared. That was just a joke. I won't pour water on you from above when you're in the toilet."

'Is this what is called school bullying?'

"The thumbtacks and the compass needle are more important! Look at this, this! You can still see where I was stabbed! How will you take responsibility if it becomes a lifetime scar?"

Ayanokoji rolled up his sleeve of the right arm and showed it to Horikita. I have already seen it though.

Horikita shamelessly asked, "Where's the evidence?"

Ayanokoji could only reply with a confuse. "huh?".

There is just one piece of evidence and that is...me. Yes, I am an eyewitness to this cruelty. Ayanokoji and Horikita looked at me.

Between their gazes, I trembled a little.

My eyes looked at Ayanokoji without a hint of politeness. No words were spoken but the message was clear, 'You think I will help you after you pulled me into this crap?'

Ayanokoji and I could only give.

Ayanokoji asked on my behalf,"...So, what are we supposed to do?"

You might be wondering how I got to this point. well, I suppose it happened after the day of the entrance ceremony.
