[DROP] Horimiya: Izuna Miyamura
8. Meet again

Izuna walked home alone to her house while trying to hide her pale expression after what Kana had done to her.

Izumi has extra classes, so she'll be home late. Since Izuna did not want to wait for her, she decided to go home alone and leave her.

"Now I know why he was nicknamed 'Oni no Kojima' by the students there..." Izuna even instantly felt pale when she thought about what she was doing to him.

'No! Nah! No!' no!'

Izuna immediately shook her head quickly and decided to forget about the previous incident.

Although she had the chance to see Kana's perfect body, but given how nervous she felt when she was angry, she did not want to experience the same thing again for the second time.

Izuna currently had two memories overlapping each other, and also Izuna's personality was also sitting on a boil with each other.

And because of that, the two memories, personality, and memories of the old Izuna and the present Izuna had fused together at this moment.

Walking down the street is a little quiet because at this hour, most people are still at their work or relaxing at home.

Feeling a little thirsty, Izuna then stopped by one of the minimarkets to buy a bottle of drink.

"Welcome home."

Entering the minimarket, he was immediately greeted by the employees with their smiles.

Izuna then started looking for what she wanted to buy. He then picked up a can of cola-flavored drink, and some snacks for the walk.

After paying for everything, Izuna opened the can of drink and gulped it down.

*gulp**Gulp***Gulp*

"God..." Izuna wiped a little water on the corner of her mouth while smiling and thinking of a beautiful thing.

Crak || Crak || Crak

Izuna stuffed his feather snacks and chewed on them and then swallowed them.

Then he deliberately did not go straight home and turned or headed to a park that was not far from his place at this time.

Sitting on one of the benches in the garden, he closed his eyes while breathing fresh air around him.

With shady trees and also the fragrant smell of various types of plants and flowers, Izuna felt calm in her body.

Coupled with the gentle breeze added to the current atmosphere.

"This is how life should be..."

Although Izuna has a mischievous personality, but that does not mean Izuna does not like the calmness like now.

He also took the phone out of his pocket and put the Earphone in his right ear.

Playing the song, Izuna felt that the current atmosphere was perfect for her.

Listening to the song softly, Izuna closed her eyes while permeating every tone she heard.

The song then ended and Izuna let out a long sigh and opened her eyes, then put a piercing on her ear again. There was a special reason why no one was aware of the piercing hole in Izuna's ear, it was because she had already disguised it before with a special cream that matched her skin color.

So, it is almost impossible for someone to see the piercing hole if not from a close distance. Plus, the piercing hole was very small, and with the cream, it made it perfectly camouflaged.

He did not take off the piercing that was on his tongue because that place would likely not be noticed by many people.

"Huh..."

Izuna was then about to stand up before she finally heard a voice that seemed to be from a girl.

"Hey, come down or you'll fall!"

Allowing his wait, Izuna looked at the familiar radi from his point of view.

'That girl...?'

Feeling that he knew the girl, Izuna stood up and approached the girl not far from where she was sitting.

The girl had black hair along her waist that had long bangs hanging on her forehead, dark brown eyes and she looked to have an unpleasant expression on her face.

"Kotegawa-san, it's been a long time." Izuna said as she walked closer to the girl.

The girl, who felt someone calling her name turned her head back, and looked at Izuna from her point of view. Feeling familiar with her face, the girl then exclaimed.

"Miyamura-san?" she asked.

Izuna nodded, "It has not been a long time, Kotegawa-san? What are you doing here?" Izuna asked.

The girl earlier, who Izuna called "Kotegawa-san" was the girl Izuna had helped with when facing thugs.

Her name is Kotegawa Yui, a high school student who attended Katagiri High School as a first-year student.

Yui did not answer, but she turned to a tree in her household, precisely one of the branches.

Following Yui's gaze, Izuna saw a white cat that seemed unable to descend on a tree, curled up there and quite frightened.

'Can it go up and can't go down...?' think Izuna.

Looking at the frightened curled cat, Izuna just stared at him flatly, never knowing if there was a cat that was afraid of heights.

But, she quickly changed her facial expression as Yui turned her back towards him.

He took off his shoes and put his bag on the ground, and prepared to climb a tree in front of him.

It was easy enough for Izuna to take down the cat because she was not afraid of heights and she was quite skilled at knitting trees. So, in just a few minutes, he managed to bring the cat down and hand it over to Yui.

"This cat is yours?" Izuna asked.

Yui shook her head with her cheeks that were slightly dyed in a pink hue, "No, this is not mine. Just happened to see this cat stuck up there. But since I can't climb, I don't know how to help her."

"So, do you like cats, Kotegawa-san?" Izuna asked.

"Ma-Where possible! I-I just happened to want to help him. G-Don't mean I like cats or anything!" Yui said as she raised her tone, refusing loudly with her face reddened.

"Well, sorry. But from what I see, you're pretty gentle with that cat?" Izuna asked, in her perspective, she saw Yui put the cat in her arms, and gently stroked her fur which made her snore pleasure.

"Don't misunderstand! I-I don't like cats or anything! I-It just ... just ... Aye! This was only to calm him down because he was scared just now! Right, it's like that!" At that, Yui nodded her head a few times resolutely, satisfied with the answer she said.

"B-Is that ...? W-Well, maybe I'll say goodbye because I have to go home now. See you soon, Kotagawa-san." Izuna said, she started putting her shoes back on and picked up her bag, preparing to leave. But, Yui suddenly held the corner of her clothes.

Izuna, who was about to leave, fell silent. He looked back only to see Yui holding the corner of his clothes with a downcast face.

"... Hey, Miyamura-san. Yesterday I promised to repay your kindness, didn't I?" Yui asked after being silent for a while.

"Well, I don't know. Maybe?" Izuna answered her question with another question.

"Then will you go with me? I'll buy you a meal, will you?" Yui asked, she tried to be calm and natural, but her facial expression betrayed her as her face flushed violently at this moment.

"Well, why not?" Izuna.

Izuna walked with Yui who was walking a short distance beside her. Yui, however, has no experience with a man, so she is a little or maybe very nervous about this.

There was a reason why he had never been close to the opposite sex. In her childhood, Yui hated all the boys because of how cruel, shameless and stated that they caused a lot of trouble as class representatives in the 5th grade. He will try to protect girls from boys who will do these things to them, and therefore he thinks that any kind of love or romance is shameless because it means being close to a boy.

"Yes, Kotegawa-san... Did you also go to Katagiri High School?" Because their journey was a bit awkward, Izuna decided to break the silence between them.

"... Is correct. Is there a problem?" Yui said after a little pause.

"No, it's just that your school uniform is no stranger. Didn't you see the uniform I'm wearing now?" Izuna asked, pointing at the uniform she was still wearing.

"You from Katagiri too, Miyamura-san? But why do I never know?" Yui asked with shock on her face.

"Right, I was a transfer student there. That's why you never see me there." Izuna.

They chatted a little for the rest of their trip, which Yui thought was not too bad.

This place they came to was actually a recommendation from Izuna, she was looking for a place that Yui would probably like to see her expression earlier.

_____

Actually, the location of the cafe they were going to was a little far away, but since they were talking to each other, the trip did not feel tiring and even fun, especially for Yui.

'This feeling...'

Yui held onto her thumping chest, and she did not realize that her face was slightly flushed.

She also blushed for some reason as she saw Izuna smiling from a short distance away.

'No! Nah! No!' no!'

Yui shook her head quickly and dispelled all her current thoughts.

Izuna who felt strange with Yui's expression then asked her, "Is there a problem, Kotegawa-san?"

"Huh...?" Yui immediately gasped when she heard Izuna's words.

"N-No, it's just that I'm a little tired..." Yui did feel a little tired at this moment, she did not feel it, but when she was a little dazed just now, she only felt that her legs were a little exhausted.

"... That?" Izuna held her chin and thought for a moment, "What if we sit down and rest first?"

"Umm" Yui did not refuse and nodded in agreement.

He felt tired, and he wanted to rest and sit down for now.

They found a bench, and sat there. They were already in a different park than they had met earlier.

The park where they are now is a playground with some rides for kids such as; Swing, Slide and others.

There are also some children whose age is not much different is playing football. Several other children were playing with their own friends, and all of them had smiles on their faces and laughed at each other.

Yui ignored this and felt strange, because she had never experienced a situation like this before. Izuna who noticed this then held onto Yui's hand gently.

Yui who realized this turned towards Izuna who was just looking straight ahead with a smile on her face.

Yui blushed at the warm smile, and turned her gaze the other way.

Yui usually if you experience things related to Mesum, Naughty and so on will always say "Tak Tau Shame!", "Shame!", or "Disease!".

But, somehow he was now unable to say that because of the warmth that Izuna's hand had given him.

In contrast to her shy nature and also has Tsundere nature, Yui has a plump figure and is often idolized by other girls because of her beautiful figure. which should be considered normal for a child his age to feel inferior. Ironically, he was largely unaware of this.

However, to Yui, her generous figure had become a source of embarrassment to him. Facts that his friend used to tease him.

Yui closed her eyes and enjoyed this feeling, she had never felt this warm feeling before, so she just let it go and did nothing.
