Chapter 109: Ryuen Kakeru

My eyes were instantly drawn to the slender girl with hair colour similar to a glacier.

It was beautiful.

Her eyes were a shade of purple carrying a gentle yet distant look in them. It gave off a contradictory feeling of wanting to be alone and yet needing companionship.

A split second was all I needed to note these details and I averted my eyes from her. I didn't need to give Ryuen a new excuse to tease me.

"You're quite the busybody aren't you?" I chuckled and ignored what he said.

"How rude. You think that low of me?" Ryuen feigned sadness before pulling a chair over and sitting down forcefully propping his hands on the table.

The other four remained standing so I'll assume he doesn't plan to linger for long. Though I do find it amusing how subservient they are.

And what was Hiyori doing with the school bag in her hand on a Saturday morning? Don't tell me she's walking around with books.

"I don't remember inviting you, Ryuen-kun," Ichinose spoke flatly and Ryuen was a bit surprised.

"How harsh... You usually act like some saviour of the world. That mad I disturbed your little rendezvous with your secret boyfriend huh?" He laughed before sending Ishizaki to get him some coffee.

"Looks like you're bored of pestering the little girl." I spoke remembering a little incident from last week, "A molestation charge was a bit much no?"

Ryuen's expression didn't change, he simply laughed my question off, "It's sad what happened. I can't believe I could witness such behaviour from a student of the little girl's class."

"Uhm... Is little girl Sakayanagi Arisu?" Ichinose seemed perplexed as to why both me and Ryuen were talking like that.

I ignored her and so did Ryuen, he looked at Ichinose for a few seconds making the air awkward before turning to me.

"I heard Class B's having a rough time due to you." Ryuen leaned back into his chair in a relaxed manner.

"I did nothing."

I wonder, is he trying to gauge the truth from me? But it doesn't seem like he should care much about what I was doing with Ichinose.

"Oh really? Why was she pointing fingers at you about how the football boy was crying while ringing your name out? It'd take a dumbass to not believe you did something."

"Trying to shift the topic from your fake molestation charge huh?" I snickered and Ryuen sighed.

"I knew it..." Ichinose muttered and Ryuen targeted her, "What do you know? Focus on your own class blondy."

He snorted before turning to me again, "Don't make light of the case. Don't tell me you look down on poor Manabe for getting molested. How disgusting."

"You're quite talented with words despite looking like a brute."

Ryuen's lips twitched, "You're no different."

"Wrong. I'm way more elegant than you."

I joked and stole the coffee that was meant for Ryuen and took a sip slowly and gracefully.

A vein popped up on his forehead and Ibuki was on the verge of losing control of her laughter. At the same time, Ichinose giggled and Ishizaki looked helpless.

Hiyori had a soft smile on her face while Albert looked no different from usual.

Why the fuck is he wearing sunglasses inside a cafe?

"It's amazing how similarly annoying both you and the little girl are. Especially that runt, she talks as if she would've taken the world over if not for her disability." He snorted in disdain and I shrugged.

"So where were we? Oh right, the fake molestation cas—"

"Can you stop bringing that up? It's as if you're sad you weren't the one molesting her." His crude words made my eyebrows rise.

"I would never molest anyone," I spoke seriously and Ryuen was taken aback.

"Woah, why getting so serious? I was just making a harmless joke, right?" He looked back at his gang and they nodded their heads.

"What do you think Hiyori, Does Yamamoto look like a molester?"

Hiyori shook her head and I felt happy.

Getting approval from others for not looking like a molester was so amazing!

...

What the fuck is this conversation even about anymore?

I shook my head, looks like Ryuen won't let me talk about it.

"The poor guy is getting judgemental looks from most of the students on campus because of you, Ryuen-kun."

Ichinose was always dubious of the claims of molestation precisely because it was Ryuen who was part of it.

"You're only saying that because we didn't have much evidence to incriminate the loser who molested Manabe." Ryuen shook his head, "I expected more from a woman like you."

"Let it be Ichinose, a man is guilty until proven innocent in this world. That's just how it works." I said to which Ryuen laughed.

Ichinose ignored him and got up from her seat. She bowed lightly before me, "I'm sorry for disturbing you like this. I guess I needed to vent out a little, see you later Yamamoto-kun."

...

She left and Ryuen got up before sitting where Ichinose was. He smiled and looked at me, "The eye candy left. Let's talk about more important things now shall we?"

"So that's why you've been disgusting her huh..."

Ryuen shrugged, "She'd add nothing to the conversation in the first place."

"This wasn't supposed to be a conversation between you and me in the first place you retard. She left because of you, tsk."

"Eh so the cold and ruthless tyrant of Class D is a lecher?"

"You'd have to be impotent to not be attracted to her. Do you...?"

"What the f*ck?" Ryuen cursed out, "Yeah she's hot but she ain't my type. Now stop changing the topic and tell me what's going on between you and the student council."

"That's a bold and foolish question." I shook my head, "Even if there was something why would I tell you? You can't be this dumb, Ryuen."

"Well, yeah. I tried talking to the Council President but he didn't even bother responding. That Nagumo guy just laughed and said I'm overreaching. I thought I'd try my luck with you."

"Sorry to tell you but you're out of luck."

Why were he and Ichinose both trying their luck out?

"Hmm..." Ryuen went silent for a few seconds before laughing out loud, he then pointed behind him and smirked, "Are you lucky enough to survive a beating from Albert?"

His words made me pause in my tracks as my face stiffened.

Was I getting threatened right now?

Hiyori frowned and Ishizaki looked excited. Ibuki's face on the other hand didn't change just like Albert's.

"This is amazing, hahaha~" I unintentionally laughed, "Are you serious?"

"Of course not. It's just a joke..." His tone definitely indicated otherwise, was he afraid that I was recording our conversation?

Oh wait, he's probably recording the conversation instead if I think about it.

"So if I don't reveal why I have so many points you'll beat me up, is that right?"

Ryuen crackled and grinned, "Obviously not, I'd only do that if I were a bad person."

My lips twitched.
