Chapter 79

It wasn't supposed to be like this.

I tried to enjoy my high school life by capitalizing on my mistakes in middle school, but on the day of the entrance ceremony, I met Horikita, who was also in middle school, and it turned out to be the worst day.

I thought that since Horikita, who knew me from middle school, was here, there would be no peace at all, so I asked Ryuen, who is considered the most dangerous of the first-year students, for help in order to crush Horikita.

But that was also a mistake.

From Ryuuen's point of view, he doesn't care about how he deals damage to Class D, and he teamed up with Hikigaya, who, like Ryuuen, is considered dangerous among first-year students, and changed his direction from crushing Horikita to crushing me.

What's more, Ryūen released records of our conversations with me, Hikigaya released explanations of my past, and even prepared a sign telling me to bash me no matter how I left the school.

Human beings are ugly creatures, so they will spread my past to the world at will, so my deeds will definitely spread to the world.

Whether I graduate from this school or drop out, there is no doubt that I will lose my social status.

On the contrary, there is a very high possibility that my parents will also disconnect from me.

I won't be able to live a normal life anymore.

Do not be silly.

I am not a bad person. When I was in junior high school, even though I only wrote bad things on my blog, my classmates rejected me and hurt me.

That's why I just revealed my classmates' secrets.

Since you've been hurt, it's natural for you to hurt yourself back. I just did the obvious thing.

But everyone at school was convinced by the poster and treated me like a demon.

Don't let all you trash who don't know anything deny me.

It's annoying, it's really annoying.

Horikita, who enrolled in the same school as me, Ayakoji, who learned my secret and went to school, Karuizawa, who denied me in front of everyone, Matsushita, who posted my actions on the internet, Ryuen, who betrayed me.

Hikigaya tried to crush me and punched me away.

And the people at school who reject me because of their lower-class habits.

I won't allow everyone. I've been through so much shit, so everyone should have to go through it too, right?

That's enough. I'll destroy everything.

"Then we'll end today's HR session."

After Chabashira-sensei said that and left the classroom, everyone started doing various things, but the overwhelming sound was Kushida's badmouthing.

Most of the students believe the poster and come to recognize Kushida as the devil.

Well, this was also her own fault since Kushida had betrayed and threatened  a lot.

Now, about Kushida, she hasn't come to class since she got beaten up by me in the morning.

I guess she's afraid to go to class because she went out of her way to hit me.

As I left the classroom and walked down the hallway thinking about this, Arisu came towards me from the direction I was heading.

"Hey, Hachiman-kun. Are you heading home now?"

"I'm going to the shopping mall."

"Then me too. Masumi-san and Hiyori-san are both in club activities today, so I can have Hachiman-kun all to myself."

"Well, it doesn't really matter."

When I say that, Arisu hugs my left arm and starts to sneeze, so while I'm comforted by that gesture, I walk down the hallway, change my shoes, and leave the school building.

"Anyway, there's been an uproar at the school over the poster."

"Well, there's no problem with that. Actually, what we did was morally wrong, but legally there's no problem with it."

It is possible to defame someone by lying, but it is impossible to judge by law.

There is nothing wrong with spreading the facts. Even if a student were to attack Kushida in the future, it would be the person who attacked her who would be judged.

For the time being, from now on, until Kushida withdraws from the school, she will be persistently saying

"Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!" A scream from behind?

That's when I suddenly heard a scream from behind and turned around.

Kushida swung a knife from behind. Moreover, the target isn't me, but Arisu.

I understood that and reflexively pushed Arisu away.

"Hey!"

Arisu falls to the ground with a slight scream, but as she falls to the ground, my arm breaks open, so the knife that Kushida swings down hits my left arm instead of Arisu's.

"Grrrr!"

This caused a severe pain in my left arm that I had never experienced before, and it looked like it would go away somehow, but I ignored it and kicked Kushida in the stomach.

However, due to the severe pain running through my left arm, the attack was not as powerful as I had expected, and was only able to make Kushida arch her back.

"Hachiman-kun!"

"Calm down. It looks terrible, but there's no problem."

Even as I hear Arisu's heartbreaking voice, I stay alert and keep an eye on Kushida.

Then, Kushida took out another knife from her pocket and muttered, revealing murderous intent.

"I have to destroy it… I have to destroy Horikita, Hikigaya, Ryuen, Karuizawa, Matsushita, Ayanokoji, all of them… I'm done with it anyway…"

Tsk... She pushed herself too hard, and it seems like her limiter as a person has been lifted. There's no light in her eyes.

And Kushida probably intends to kill Arisu, one of my most important people.

The reason I didn't target Hiyori or Masumi, who weren't here, was probably because I wanted to completely destroy my spirit by killing someone important to me right in front of me.

As I was thinking that, Kushida glared at me...

"You're going to die!"

She holds a knife and charges towards Arisu. At the same time, I stand in front of Arisu and take a defensive stance while enduring the pain.

I will definitely protect Arisu.

I then take a stance to mount a counter, but before I can, someone tackles Kushida from right next to her, sending her flying.

If you think about it and look at it...

"Yo Hikigaya, are you okay?"

Surprisingly, it was Ryuen who tackled Kushida.

However, from my point of view, I didn't understand why Ryuen would help.

Considering Ryuen's personality, I think he'll leave it alone, but there's no way I would worry about it after helping me.

Then, Kushida gets up and notices Ryuen's presence, increasing her murderous intent.

"Ryuuen...my life is ruined because of you...!"

"So you're going to kill me? You're getting more and more depressed."

"Annoyance! You, Hikigaya, Horikita, Ayanokoji, Karuizawa, and Matsushita! Everyone should die! Everyone who denies me must die!"

Then, Kushida attacks Ryuen instead of me. I can see that Kushida has no judgment when she targets Ryuen instead of me, who is injured.

Ryuen, on the other hand, evaded Kushida's stab by shifting to the side...no, he wasn't able to completely evade it, and it seemed like it grazed Ryuen's right arm, tearing his uniform and causing a small amount of blood to splatter.

In response, Kushida swings to the side and tries to stab Ryuen, but before she can do so, Ryuuen sweeps Kushida off balance.

As a result, Kushida falls while trying to wield the knife and immediately tries to get up, but before she can, Ryuen rides on top of Kushida and performs a joint technique.

"Aaaaaaaaa!"

Kushida screams, but the pain in her joints causes her to drop the knife on the ground.

After confirming this, Ryuen talks to Arisu.

"Sakayanagi. Report to school immediately."

"H-Yes...Hello, Mashima-sensei?  Kushida-san tried to kill Hachiman-kun and Ryuen-kun near the entrance with a kitchen knife...Yes. Hachiman-kun was relatively seriously injured, and Ryuen-kun was injured. It's a minor injury... Yes. I understand."

Arisu is unusually excited as she reports to school. This causes Kushida to scream.

"Let go of me, you bastard! I'll kill you, so let me go! Don't be fooled by the fact that I'm the only one being judged!"

Saying that, she goes wild, but Ryuen doesn't move even with leverage and uses a joint technique on Kushida.

After a while, several security guards come and ask Ryuen to retreat. As a result, Ryuen retreats, and the guards immediately restrain Kushida.

Kushida complains at that time, but it has been decided that she will be expelled from school.

"...For now, Ryuen and I should go to a medical facility."

This school has a medical facility near the shopping mall. It's not as big as a university hospital, but the injury is too much to handle in the infirmary.

"Ah. Hikigaya is seriously injured, are you okay?"

Ryuen asks about this, but there's no way this guy would be so worried.

What the hell were you thinking?

"...It looks dangerous, but it's not unbearable."

"Really? Are you okay?"

Arisu repeatedly confirms my words.

Arisu has a very weak expression. I have only seen this kind of expression on my bed.

"It hurts, but it's okay. I'm going to leave it unplugged and head to the medical facility, but what should you do?"

It looks shocking, but I have to be patient because if I pull it out, blood will flow even more than it already does.

Even if I pull it out, the pain won't go away.

"For now, I will explain to the doctors and contact Masumi-san and the others. Hachiman-kun will go to the medical facility without worrying about me. It will take time to adjust to my needs."

While saying that, Arisu operated her cell phone and Ryuen and I started walking toward the medical facility.

However, it was certain that Kushida would be expelled from the school, but I let my guard down at the last minute.

I never thought that she would drop everything and start killing.

Well, I'll have to be careful from now on.

____________

"Excuse me"

At the medical facility, I bow to the elderly doctor. At the same time, the young nurse who was next to the doctor started walking, and I followed her out of the examination room.

Then...

"Hachiman (kun) (kun)!''''

At the same time, Hiyori, Arisu, and Masumi, who were sitting in chairs near the examination room, approached while shouting loudly.

The expressions of the three people were filled with worry.

"What were the results?"

"Does the wound hurt?"

"Are you going to be hospitalized? Do I have anything to prepare?"

The three of them were worried about me in ways they would never normally show.

On the other hand, I am unconsciously happy. It's not bad to have someone genuinely worried like this.

"It will take about two weeks for it to fully heal, so there's no need to worry about any after-effects. The pain will be alleviated by anesthesia, so it won't be a problem. However, I'm going to be admitted to the hospital today for a test, so could you just bring me a change of clothes?"

"Okay. I'm the fastest one, so I'll bring it for you, and the two of you will take care of Hachiman."

The two nod at Masumi's words. Arisu, who usually orders Masumi, doesn't seem to be dissatisfied with Masumi's opinion.

"Then I'll go...I'm glad that nothing serious happened."

Tsk...

After Masumi said that, she kissed me gently and left, but I didn't want to be so proud in front of the nurse.

This sister was muttering, "As expected from God..."

While sighing inwardly, I followed the nurse's (older sister) and was guided to the hospital room.

It looks like you can relax quite a bit in the private room. Well, it's only natural that the only users are students.

And when I get into bed, Arisu and Hiyori come close to me.

"Thank you for helping me back then. But please don't be reckless."

Tsk...

"I'm glad there were no life-threatening injuries."

Tsk...

I received a kiss from them and stroked their heads lovingly. I'm also really glad I didn't lose them.

Then, for a while, we continued to kiss each other, and after Masumi brought a change of clothes, I continued to receive kisses from three people for 20 minutes...

knock Knock

A knock is heard from the door. At the same time, the three people who were showering me with kisses move away from me, so I wipe my saliva-covered lips with a handkerchief before opening my mouth.

"Please"

"I'll disturb you."

After saying that, the door opened and the student council president Nagumo appeared. Hiyori and her friends opened their eyes wide at the unexpected guest.

"Hello. What can I do for you?"

"As the student council president, it's natural for me to visit a student if they are seriously injured. Also, we need to talk about the future. Could Hiyori Shiina and Masumi Kamuro please leave their seats for a while?"

President Nagumo said that and looked at Hiyori and Masumi. Most likely, the topic of conversation will be about Kushida.

As for Arisu, I understand that she didn't have to leave her seat because she was there.

Hiyori and Masumi nod without any objections to President Nagumo's words, and after nodding to me, they leave the hospital room.

"So what will happen? I heard from Mashima-sensei that Kushida-san will be put in the disciplinary room, but what will be the punishment from the school?"

"Normally, she would have been expelled from the school, and we have decided to expel Kushida."

President Nagumo replies to Arisu's question, but it's a strange way of saying it.

Normally, she would have been expelled from school, but it would be strange to say something about Kushida's expulsion.

If I were President Nagumo, I would just say, "Kushida's expulsion has been decided.''

"Did something happen that would be not normal?"

"Yeah. Ryuen, who was injured just like you, is going to complain about Kushida to the police instead of the school."

This school cannot have contact with the outside world, but of course there are exceptions.

We are allowed to contact the police, fire trucks, ambulances, etc. in case something gets really bad.

"So? What happened?"

"As a result of what we talked about earlier, it has been decided that Kushida's parents will come to the school tomorrow and have a discussion with Ryuen, and depending on the outcome of the discussion, they will decide whether to sue or settle."

I understand why Ryuen helped me.

Ryuen's attack from Kushida was intentional, and he is probably trying to get Kushida's parents to pay a huge settlement fee by threatening to file a complaint with the police.

Well, it is clear that if Ryuen complains to the police, Kushida will almost certainly be found guilty.

Kushida was in a place where there was a surveillance camera, yelling profanities and brandishing a kitchen knife, injuring me and Ryuen, and also tried to stab Arisu, who was unrelated.

"Is it possible to have a discussion?"

"Originally, we are not allowed to have contact with the outside world, but due to the circumstances this time, I and your homeroom teacher will be present as witnesses."

President Nagumo answers Arisu's question. Well, if an accident were to occur, outside intervention would be necessary.

"Going back to the topic, what are you going to do? If you're going to leave the decision up to the school, then that's the end of the story, but if you're thinking of filing a complaint with the police like Ryuen, I'll ask you to come to the reception room at 12pm tomorrow and participate in the discussion."

That's right...

"Can I participate?"

I don't know if I should leave the decision up to the school or go to the police, but I will participate in the discussion for now.

"Okay. What about Sakayanagi?"

"Join"

"It's decided. Then, I'll say it again, you'll be in the reception room at 12 noon tomorrow. If your injury is serious, please contact me as soon as possible."

President Nagumo said that and left the hospital room. Just then, Hiyori and Masumi enter the room.

"What did you talk about with the student council president?"

"actually..."

When Arisu prefaces Hiyori's words with an explanation, Hiyori nods and Masumi looks stunned.

"I see. I thought it was strange when I heard that Ryuen-kun came to help, but is that what he mean?"

"He's got a screw out of his head for using his own injury as a weapon..."

Well, I guess so. If you do well, you can make a profit, but if you make a mistake, you could be seriously injured, and if you do poorly, you could die, and Ryuen's tactics are too gambling-like.

"However, since he escaped with only a minor injury, it must have been a success this time. And judging from Ryuen-kun's personality, it is obvious that he will thoroughly threaten Kushida-san's parents."

I agree. Ryuen will definitely snare Kushida's parents. That's so heartbreaking.

But Kushida's parents won't be able to argue against this. After all, Ryuen was the victim of Kushida's harm, even if the injury was minor.

"Well, if that happens, then that's the case."

While we were talking, there was a knock on the door, so I answered and the nurse brought me dinner.

Looking at the contents, it appears to be a healthy dish with very little flavor.

"Okay, Hachiman. I'll feed you."

"No. I can do it."

"I'll just ignore what Hachiman-kun said."

"Hey, it's my left hand that's injured so I can eat it myself, right?"

I tries to make fun of the three of them, but they ignore it and continue to make sparks fly.

As I was wondering what was wrong, three people turned towards me and Arisu spoke to me.

"Then let's let Hachiman-kun decide. Who would be better?"

Am I going to choose? I'm good at school multiple choice questions, but this multiple choice question is too difficult.

"Hachiman-kun. Please choose me."

"Choose me. Ah, eating yourself isn't an option."

Masumi blocks the escape route. Damn it...

「...…」

「...…」

「...…」

Three people look at me with expectant eyes. If I were to be seen like that, I would be both excited and worried at the same time.

After thinking about it for a while, I...

"Then the three of you will take turns..."

Instantly, all three of them turned to stare at me. There was no trace of the anticipation that had existed before.

"... You're a loser.''

It's so loud. I'm aware of this, so I won't say anything more.

In the end, the three of them accepted my proposal, even though they were staring at me, and they all took turns giving me aan and letting me eat.

By the way, when I was drinking the egg soup, Arisu tried to feed me mouth-to-mouth and was stopped by Hiyori and Masumi, but it was pretty embarrassing for me too, so I think the two of them played fine.

Well, I kissed three people until the visiting hours ended.

After all, I'm too weak to push.
