[DROP] Horimiya: Izuna Miyamura
41. Hakari Plan

"Yeah, Izuna! Yuuki-san and Hanazono-san said you were sick earlier. How are you doing? Is it over?" Ryo asked as he patted Izuna on the back when he saw Izuna walking into the classroom.

Previously, Asuna and Hakari had told teachers that Izuna was resting in the UKS because she was not feeling well. That's why Ryo could tell if Izuna was sick before.

"Yes... I'm a little better." Izuna replied. He walked towards his table, ignoring the figure of Ryo who was standing next to him at the moment.

"Oi, oi, don't ignore me like that."

Izuna ignored Ryo, and she he sat on his lap. Ryo approached Izuna, pulled up the chair next to her and took her to Izuja's side, and sat on it.

"By the way, what's your relationship with those two?" Ryo asked while grinning. Surely, the two of them that Ryo meant were Asuna and Hakari.

Looking at the three who looked very familiar, a thought suddenly flashed through Ryo's mind. He grinned, looking at Izuna with a look that said "Ah, I know,".

"Don't think of anything weird" Izuna said 'cutting' on Ryo.

"Ouch! Hey, don't hit me in the head like that!" Ryo complains when Izuna hits him on the head, she holds his head which feels pain even though Izuna just hits him softly.

"Yes, yeah, then? Do you know about Hajime and Shirasaki-san? I heard they had a fight. Do you know why?" Izuna was quite curious about this. And even though he doesn't have a hobby of 'gossiping', what's being talked about here is Hajime, who is their friend.

Of course, as good friends, it was only natural that they wanted the best for Hajime. And, if Hajime was in trouble, they could help him and support him by his side.

"Hmm, it's quite complicated." said Ryo as he held his chin and closed his eyes, "I heard from Hajime if Shirasaki confessed to him, but he refused his confession, saying that he would not, which makes their relationship a little awkward at the moment. Hajime also seems to get into a lot of trouble because it seems like all the students in his class know that Shirasaki shot him, and he refused Shirasaki's confession."

"really? So, what's happening to him right now?" Izuna asked curiously. Hajime wasn't the type to like problems like him, which was why he always avoided problems by just being quiet when others were bothering him.

"There was a group of disciples who bullied him all the time, and they became bolder when they heard about Shirasaki's confession to him" Ryo said with a sigh, he knew this because Hajime had told him a while ago, and he also disliked the group that bullied Hajime.

"really? Who're they? Do I need to teach them a lesson?" Izuna asked in annoyance. He is the type of person who does not like problems, but that does not mean he will let it go if his friend is involved in problems.

"No, no. Don't do that! I'm sure that it will only make the situation worse!" Ryo stops Izuna, knowing that what Izuna said is not entirely a lie because she also feels the way Izuna felt when Hajime told her.

But when she was about to do the same thing Izuna thought, she only realized that Hajime's bully group had a connection with the principal. And if they act without thinking it will only be a boomerang that attacks them.

"Curtain! By the way, who are they? I will remember their names, who knows I met them" Izuna said with an annoyed grunt.

"I only know the name of their leader, his name is Hiyama Daisuke. I hope if you don't do anything reckless, I hear he's the principal's nephew. And it wouldn't be very funny if he complained to the principal, would it?" ryo said while reminding Izuna and reminding her not to do things that could get them into trouble.

"Don't worry, I'll just remember his name. Besides, I'm not that stupid you know? And, don't worry, we'll meet Hajime back home from school later—ah, no! What if we watch him from afar?"

"No, no, that's not possible. After all, I have a comfortable affair of school, and Hajime also said that he will go to his relatives' house with his family later in the afternoon. So there's no way we're doing that" Ryo said as he shook his head, disagreeing with what Izuna said just now.

"After all, why do you want to watch him from afar? Do you want to be a stalker?" Ryo asked as he raised his eyebrows next to her, and looked at Izuna in disbelief."

"Don't worry, Hajime said if he could still control it. Hmm, maybe if they get bolder, we can intervene?" ryo said as he placed his index finger on his chin.

"Well, I'll remember it." Izuna nodded.

"Izuna-kun, what if we go home together?"

When the last lesson was over, Izuna who was tidying up her books was visited by Hakari who held her school bag in her hand and invited her to go home together.

"certain." Izuna nodded, she turned her head towards Asuna and said, "What about you, Asuna? Are you coming with us?"

Asuna sighed sadly, looking at Asuna while shaking her head, "Sorry, I can't go home with you guys. My family's driver picked me up today, and right now he must be outside the gate."

"so... Well, maybe we can go home together next time. But, we can still go together to the front of the gate, right?" Although Izuna was quite disappointed that Asuna could not go home with them, but she also knew Asuna's condition now and could only sigh deeply when she thought about it.

"Um, I don't mind" Asuna said as she nodded her head.

"Alright, let's go~" Hakari said as he raised his fist.

"Oh yes, Izuna-kun. I forgot to ask you this, but do you have time this afternoon?" Hakari suddenly asked on the sidelines of their trip.

"Hmm? Well, if this afternoon seems like I can't. I have to look after the shop this afternoon" Izuna said as she held her chin.

"That's it...." Hakari lowered her head dejectedly, but she suddenly realized something and raised her head, looked at Izuna and asked, "Keeping the shop? Do you work part-time?"

Izuna shook her head, "No, but my mother owns a pastry shop not far from the apartment, and I usually help to keep the shop once every few days."

"really?! Can I visit your family's shop later?!" Hakaro asked with a slow pace.

"certainly? Why not?"

"Good! You can send me the address later, I'll come straight this afternoon." said Hakari, he then turned to Asuna and asked, "What about you, Asuna-san? Aren't you coming?"

"Hmm? Well, my situation is pretty complicated right now... So maybe I won't be able to leave." Asuna said as she lowered her head sadly.

"so yeah. Hmm, yeah... We can go together next time. So, don't worry." Hakari said as she patted Asuna's back gently. But, even though she had a disappointed expression on the outside, but inside her mind she smiled happily when Asuna did not come with her later.

'I can take advantage of this opportunity to be alone with Izuna-kun... Fufufu~'
