Volume 1 - Chapter 8: Celebration

——————————————————————————————

"Hey Sora! Are you still working?" asked Takeshi as he noticed that Sora was cleaning up his work desk.

Sora looked up at his friend, who came to his desk and confirmed his question. "Yeah, I just finished my lesson for this week, so what are you looking me for?"

Takeshi got visibly happy as he dragged Sora, who didn't forget to take his bag with him, toward Noboru, who was working on something, and Junichirou, who was playing with his game console.

They looked up from their respective task as they noticed the incoming Sora and Takeshi.

"Oh, hello Sora and Takeshi." Said Noboru with a smile

"Sup, can't talk right now. I'm fighting a big beast right now, sorry." Said Junichirou as his face frowned as his game activity became more aggressive.

"Hello, guys good to see you." Said Sora as he took a seat near Junichirou as he looked over his shoulder. Sora saw him playing Monster Hunter on his game console.

"Oh? Are you also playing Monster Hunter, Junichirou? We should play together sometimes as I also have it on my Switch."

"Oh!? Really? That would be really fun! But I have to warn you, I'm a pro gamer, so you better not drag me down." Said Junichirou with a smirk on his face as he looked up at Sora.

"Ah, Junichirou you got stomped right here." Said Sora as he pointed at the game console as Junichirou got distracted.

"Uh? AH! Don't die, don't die, I have to run…. Ahhh!" exclaimed Junichirou as he tried to escape, but failed to do so. He slumped in his chair in depression as he thought about life.

"Better hunt, next time, Junichirou." Said Sora as he patted Junichirou's shoulder. This action seemed the "dead" Junichirou as he miraculously came back alive as he scolded Sora.

"Y-y-you, it's your damn fault that I died!!" cried Junichirou as he shook Sora's shoulder in anger.

"Ha ha ha ha." Laughed Sora, as he saw an interesting side of his friend.

"Why are you laughing?!? This is serious, Sora!." Cried Sora as tears flew out of his eyes.

"OK! Ok calm down guys, I didn't bring everyone together to talk about the game." Said Takeshi as he noticed the situation was going out of hand.

The trio looked at Takeshi in confusion, but still waited for him to finish his talk.

"I'm here to announce our first celebration!" exclaimed Takeshi as Noboru, Sora, and Junichirou were even more confused by this sudden celebration.

"Cmon guys! We have to celebrate Sora's as his first year at Kuoh and the beginning of this semester!"

Sora, Noboru and Junichirou: Ohhh

"Interesting, I don't mind celebrating with you guys." Said Sora as he affirmed his participation to Takeshi.

"Indeed, but I still have more copies to check before leaving, so I'll join you guys later." Said Noboru with an apologetic face. Takeshi understood Noboru's difficulty as he waved his concern as he told him to not worry about it.

"I'm not coming, I still have to catch up this week anime and I have a lot of snacks waiting for me." Said Junichirou as he packed up his game in his bag.

"… I'll pay for the food, so you better come, you damn otaku." Said Takeshi as he gritted his teeth in annoyance as he heard Junichirou ridiculous answer.

Junichirou froze in his action as he sat back in his chair. "Actually, I can do it tomorrow and my snack can also wait for me."

Takeshi dragged Sora and Junichirou toward the exit as they waved Noboru good bye. As they were coming near the door, they saw two teachers who noticed them.

Sora recognized one of the teacher as he greeted her cheerfully. "Oh Hi, Hiratsuka-san, I thought you already left."

"Oh! Heiwajima-san, Ooshima-san and Kagami-san are you guys leaving now?" said Hiratsuka as it also surprised her to see them now.

"Yeah, we were going just now." Responded Sora as he noticed the unknown person beside Hiratsuka.

Hiratsuka noticed Sora's looks as she remembered her friend next to hear who didn't know about Sora.

"Ah, that's right. You don't know. Her, let me introduce her to you, Heiwajima-san. She is Sengoku Chihiro, the teacher's art teacher at Kuoh Academy."

"Nice to meet you, Sengoku-san. I'm Heiwajima Sora, the new English teacher at Kuoh." Said Sora.

"My, my, I thought you would forget to introduce me to this little handsome Shizuka-chan." Said Chihiro with a hand on her cheek as she looked at Sora with "loving gaze".

"Ha ha ha… She is always like that, Heiwajima- san, so don't worry about it." Said Hiratsuka with a forced laugh.

"I-I-I see…" said Sora with a stiff smile. Sora recognized this girl from his old world. Another hopeless woman like Hiratsuka who tried to find a boyfriend.

"So? When are we going to eat? I'm pretty hungry, you know?" said Junichirou with an annoyed expression.

"W-wait don't say that." responded the very flustered Takeshi, but unfortunately Hiratsuka and Sengoku heard about Junichirou's complain.

"Eating? Are you guys going somewhere?" asked the slightly interested Hiratsuka and Sengoku.

"Huh? Yeah, we are going to eat as Takeshi is paying for us and Noboru is also joining us later." Said Sora, as he didn't notice the horror on Takeshi's face.

But Sora noticed the face of Hiratsuka and Sengoku brighten up from his words.

"Interesting! Wait for us, we are also joining!" said Hiratsuka as she left them in a hurry.

"That's right, cutie, we are coming back quickly." Said Sengoku as she also left in a hurry.

"W-w-wait I' didn't…." exclaimed Takeshi, but accepted the current situation.

"Ah? Shouldn't I tell them about it?" said Sora, as he noticed his friend's painful expression.

"No, it's not your fault, but I don't know if my wallet can satisfy those two girls…." Cried Takeshi as he took out his wallet with tears.

"… I'll help you pay if needed." Said Sora as he patted his shoulder.

"… Thank you, Sora." Said Takeshi as he hugged Sora as he found his life line.

"So when are eating?" interrupted Junichirou tactlessly, as if he didn't or care about the current mood.

"You!!!" cried Takeshi as charged toward the unaware Junichirou but got held back by Sora.

"Let me go Sora!!! I need to deal with this damn otaku."

"Calm down, Takeshi, violence is not the solution!!!" exclaimed Sora as he held back his enraged friend.

25 minutes later~

"We are back, so… oh? What happened here?" Said Hiratsuka as she and Sengoku noticed the appearance of their three colleagues.

Junichirou was pouting as he was crouching on the floor with a bag on his head, an satisfied Takeshi, as he let out a laugh every 10 sec and an exhausted Sora.

They looked at Hiratsuka and Sengoku but they tactfully ignored her question, as if nothing happened.

"Nothing, let's go. I just texted Noboru the address of the place." Said Takeshi as he took the lead, followed by Sora, who dragged the still pouting Junichirou.

Hiratsuka and Sengoku looked at each other in confusion but still went along for the free food.
