Kouta walked towards Megumi and his goon, who was still harassing Megumi. Kouta didn't need to do anything flashy, he just needed to help Megumi from his goon because this is a school. He doesn't need to fight and the like.
Kouta just called his goon and also told him to stop. As the plan the two of them had in mind, they chose a slightly quiet place, the area that the first-year students must pass through after just coming out from the cafeteria so that they are both confident that no one else will interfere with their plans.
Kouta's goon naturally reacted to hearing him summoned by Kouta. Then he had to act annoyed and try to throw his annoyance at Kouta so that he looked like he was about to hit Kouta. However, Kouta didn't seem to be afraid or flinch and showed a brave attitude, so the punk could only flick his tongue before leaving Kouta and Megumi. He also kicked a nearby trash can to end his act as a typical jerk on a high note.
"I apologize for the attitude of my classmates." Kouta apologized to Megumi before he tried to tidy up the trash can that was kicked by his goons including some trash that came out when the trash can came out.
"Ah, I helped too, and it wasn't your fault. You don't need to apologize." Megumi spoke up and came near Kouta to help him tidy up the trash cans again.
"You don't have to. Actually, he wasn't that bad, but he might have a bad day these days." Kouta spoke as if trying to show that his goon wasn't always like that. Of course, he did this to make Megumi think that Kouta often fixed the delinquent's mistakes and gave him positive marks or made Megumi feel a little sorry for him.
"Is that so—" Something that seems to be working quite well. Megumi was basically a good kid because when the goon turned his attention to Kouta. She didn't run away and stayed where she was with a worried face pro, probably wondering if there was anything she could do.
However, Kouta seemed to be able to clean up the mess easily, and Megumi immediately helped him tidy up this trash can. After all that was done, Kouta once again faced Megumi before bowing his head to her.
"I'm sorry for my friend's attitude, and I'm grateful for your help."
"No—no— you don't have to do this. It's not your fault. Actually, I need to thank you for your help. He had been disturbing me— he had been asking me out these days even though he said he had a girlfriend. Usually, he gives up immediately when I refuse, but for some reason, he was very pushy today. "
Megumi responded and showed the plan that Kouta had made. Kouta tried to take advantage of this by showing a guilty facial expression.
"Is that so? He had been harassing you for days. Ugh, I'm really sorry. I don't know if this can pay for the trouble he made for you. How about I buy you some juice." Kouta said as he pointed towards the nearest vending machine.
"Eh, you don't have to? It's not your fault. Also, I'm actually the one who needs to thank you for helping me."
"No— Please, I insist you," Kouta said that it gave Megumi the impression not to refuse his request. Although in the end, what Kouta did was not much different from his goon, it still gave a different impression, so Megumi followed Kouta to the nearest vending machine and then chose the drink she liked.
"Are you perhaps buying lunch from the cafeteria?" Kouta asked Megumi to make their time together longer.
"Eh, yeah. I was actually going to buy some bread—"
"Really, then you haven't had time to buy bread? Then I'll treat you to lunch, too."
"Eh, you don't have to—"
"It's fine. I'm going to buy lunch, too, or I'll still feel a little guilty about this. Ah, what kind of bread do you want? I can buy it, and you, please sit on the chair and wait for me."
Once again, what Kouta did was not much different from the request from his goon, but what was different was the context of what happened. Coupled with Megumi, who was a little grateful to Kouta for helping her and also found it difficult to refuse his request after being bought by Kouta Juice. Eventually, she succumbed to Kouta's persistence and told him the bread she wanted before sitting down on a nearby bench.
Megumi could see Kouta walking towards the cafeteria. At the same time, she let out a long sigh after experiencing Something that had been bothering her for the past few days. She rarely got picked on like this, but it was exhausting to be done by the type of person she rarely approached.
Megumi also hoped that this would all be over and that the man would not bother her anymore. She was grateful that someone helped her, although she couldn't believe that the person who helped her was a boy her own age who was about the same height as her and had rather bright pink hair. Previously, she had not paid much attention to the person who helped her due to various things happening at the same time.
But this time, Megumi could see him more closely as he walked from the cafeteria to the bench where she was sitting. He could see that the Kouta who helped her had a look that she would not have imagined facing such a delinquent. Kouta has a face that can be considered handsome and cute at the same time. He also overall looks like a girl because Megumi feels that she has seen Kouta. However, she doesn't really remember where.
"Here— your bread." Kouta gave Megumi some lunch bread and sat next to her. Currently, the two of them were sitting on a bench under a tree that had a few in this area. There weren't many people, but it was still a place where students ate lunch since there were several students in this area.
Kouta and Megumi ate lunch without talking much to each other before, Kouta started talking after he finished the bread he bought.
"Ah, by the way, I'll talk to him and make sure that he never bothers you again."
"Eh, really? I would love it if you did, but would it be okay?" Megumi was, of course, calm about what Kouta was doing. Still, she couldn't help but worry about Kouta as he was physically different from the delinquent.
"It's fine, even though I look like this. I learned martial arts." Kouta replied as if he understood what Megumi was imagining.
"Is that so— I'm really grateful if you do that."
"Hehehe, it's fine really— Ah, but if he makes trouble for you. You can contact me through here. It would be good if I could also ask for your contact info, like line and the like."
Kouta shamelessly took advantage of this opportunity to get contact info from Megumi. Megumi herself is not a person who gives contact info to anyone. However, she was a little carried away by the good atmosphere of Kouta, who asked for the contact info to help her. She also felt no danger from Kouta, who had an innocent and kind look after helping her.
Well, in the end looks are very influential on people's judgment. That's what happened to Megumi at this time. Without realizing it, Kouta's trickery trapped her.
