[DROP] Horimiya: Izuna Miyamura
15. A troublesome group

The one who had greeted Kaori with a somewhat cliche sentence of her kindness was Amanogawa Kouki.

He is perfect in almost everything. Great in sports, good looking, and in addition has good value. His name sounds heroic. Written with the characters "light" and "light", it gives a rather dazzling impression.

Her hair is brown, soft features, 170 centimeters tall, and although her slender shape still looks like her muscles.

He was kind to everyone he met, and had a strong sense of justice, Or so he thought.

Like Shizuku, she has attended the Yaegashi dojo since she was in elementary school and is quite skilled at competing in national tournaments.

He and Shizuku are childhood friends. Dozens of girls have fallen in love with her, but since she has always wandered around Shizuku and Shirasaki, very few have ever managed to venture out to declare love.

But, when compared to Izuna's appearance, she had a considerable gap of many things.

The last person, who added his own comment to Kouki's sentence lazily, was Sakagami Ryutarou, Kouki's best friend.

Ryutarou has short and neat hair and a cheerful-looking and blurry gaze. It was 180 centimeters tall, and had a large shape like a bear.

As he suggested, he was a muscle man who did not have much modesty.

Because of his love for hard work and hot-blooded acts, he dislikes Hajime, who spends all his time at school sleeping.

Ryutarou gave Hajime no more than a single glance before insulting and ignoring him.

"Good morning Yaegashi-san, Amanogawa-kun, and Sakagami-kun. Heh, well, you know what they say, you reap what you sow. It's my own fault to always stay up." Hajime smiled wryly as he greeted Shizuku and the others.

Some people around were glaring sharply at him, their eyes all shouting, "What gives you the right to talk to Yaegashi-san so casually, huh!?"

Shizuku is almost as popular as Kaori.

"You know them, Hajime?" Izuna asked.

"They're my classmates." Hajime replied with a wry smile.

While Ryo also greeted them lightly, he did not talk much because dealing with this group was something troublesome, even he knew that....

"If you realize it's a problem, shouldn't you be trying to fix it? I don't think it's appropriate for Kaori to let her spoil you.

He doesn't have time to take care of you either." Kouki remembers Hajime emphatically.

Kouki also clearly thought Hajime was a failure of a disciple who just wasted Kaori's kindness.

Hajime desperately wanted to scream, 'he didn't spoil me! And actually, I'd rather he leave me alone!'

"Yes I guess. Ahahaha..." That's why Hajime only tried to laugh at Kouki's words.

But, of course, the school goddess must have spoken and dropped another bomb by accident.

"What are you talking about, Kouki-kun? I talked to Nagumo-kun because I wanted to" Kaori said with her innocent face.

If gazes could kill, Hajime was already dead a hundred times that of the sharp gazes he had gotten from the students. They gritted their teeth as they glared at Hajime.

Although Izuna had been warning them by staring intently at them, but some were still staring at Hajime in annoyance.

Izuna frowned as she looked at the disciple, "You have a problem, man?!"

"e-eh, I-I... N-No, No." The student shook his head nervously, while his back let out a fair amount of cold sweat.

"Then get out of here, don't be a piece of trash eavesdropping on other people's conversations" Izuna said firmly.

With those words, the disciple and some of his friends went straight from there, making him really quite quiet because of Izuna's words just now.

In fact, the Kouki Group and Ryo were also slightly annoyed with the gazes some students had on them, but they couldn't do anything with it.

"Hey, what are you doing? Why are you yelling so mad at them?" that said was Kouki, as someone who upholds his justice, he frowned at what Izuna was doing.

Although he was uncomfortable with the students' gazes at him, but he would not do anything about it and would just let it go.

"Kub-" Before finishing his sentence, he was cut by Shirasaki.

"Who are they Nagumo-kun?" Kaori asked

"They are my friends." Hajime said

"I'm Igarashi Ryo, and the handsome guy over there is Miyamura Izuna." Ryo smiled as he introduced himself by slightly lowering his head, Izuna just nodded in response.

"Ahh, Hajime's friend. I never knew if you had Nagumo-kun's friend?" Kaori asked with a hint of surprise on her face.

Hajime who heard it was like something was stabbing him for some reason.

"I don't know about this either. You have a good friend, Nagumo." Shizuku said while slightly chuckling

"Hmph, as expected of Nagumo, his friend is just as troubled as he is." Kouki snorted in response.

While Ryuutaro, he just kept quiet but agreed with Kouki's words.

Hearing Kouki's words, Izuna smiled and said in a mocking tone. "Hehh, are you jealous of us? Surely we are handsome men and a lot of girls will come after us. But, shouldn't you be jealous?"

Kouki and Ryuutaro looked at him with disdain, but Ryo and Shizuku chuckled at his words.

While Kaori, she did not pay much attention and was busy asking Hajime.

"real Nagumo-kun. I've read the manga you said yesterday, and well that's great!" As one of the attempts to get close to Hajime, Kaori knows about Otaku Hajime's hobbies, but she doesn't care about it.

The manga is one of the talksthat Kaori can think of when she talks to Hajime.

Because Hajime will certainly be excited when talking about Manga or other favorite hobbies.

Finally, they were in their own world and did not spare Izuna and Kouki who were arguing.

____

"What's? Do you want to fight?" Izuna asked with a smile.

Kouki is one of the students at the Yaegashi Dojo, of course he knows about the Yaegashi family technique, only his mastery of the technique is quite limited. Unlike Shizuku who is the successor of the family, Kouki is only a stranger, so they only teach him some basic techniques, and not the original techniques of their family.

"You want to ask me to fight? That's right." Kouki snorted and looked the other way.

"Well, naturally, you're no match for me."

"What! All right, then we'll have a Kendo fight when school ends!"

"Sure, I'm looking forward to that." Izuna then invites Ryo and Hajime to leave them there.

"You sure you're going to fight him, Kouki?" Shizuku asked with a worried tone.

After all, Kouki was his childhood friend, and he would definitely be wary of him.

"Well, I won't lose!" Kouki said with determination.

"I don't know who he is, but I'm sure that Kouki will win." Ryuutaro added.

Shizuku did not think much and sighed helplessly. He can know the level of one's strength after studying in his family's dojo from childhood.

And, he could see that Izuna was not an ordinary person that Kouki could easily defeat.

"Huh? Whahuh? You're gonna fight Kouki?" Shirasaki who was busy thinking about Hajime suddenly asked in confusion.

"....."

They were a little helpless with this friend of theirs...
