Disciple Bizarre!
Ch. 33 - Hoshi's Feelings

(POV Hoshi)

It was love at first sight when I opened the doors of 1-F class for the first time. I saw a long-haired girl with a red scarf that had a very bored expression.

He did not interact with other students. Ignore the crowds by sitting down and doing nothing.

My first impression of her, she was a quiet, beautiful girl.

I wanted to get her to talk back then, this was the first time my heart was pounding so hard. Do people not realize that this girl is very beautiful? Why didn't anyone ask him to talk?

Legs trembling. But I don't want to give up this opportunity. By forcing myself, I set foot in his place.

"A-anu... Are you Akemi?" I asked, as long as I say the name so that when he denies, I will say that he looks like my friend named Akemi, so that I am not considered a mode.

"Yes, I'm Akemi. You're Tamaki Hoshi, right?"

"Huh? Her name is Akemi?! I'm ngasal, you know!"

My heart is beating faster. It feels like destiny.

"Why do you know my name?"

"You showed up on the news, of course I know. You know my name from the news too, right?"

"D-yes."

My head's glowing.

Akemi looked at me flatly.

"I-I'm sorry, it's not actually from the news. You look like my friend Akemi, I think you're her, hahaha."

My head is shining again.

Akemi still did not react.

"Sorry, I just wanted to say hello. See you, Akemi."

I'm still not used to my curse. Although I knew my head would shine every time I lied, I always made up lies. It's very hard to avoid.

***

One week passed, Akemi still did not interact with the other students. Not that he had no friends, only that he would rather spend time alone. Every hour of rest he always disappeared out of nowhere, not joining the girls who often eat together in class.

Going to this class is a lucky break. The girls here, I think have pretty decent faces, although some of them have annoying natures.

Among all, Kusakawa Keiko is the most striking considering she is a former idol, as well as Honma Sera who is the principal's son.

But for me, Akemi is still the best.

His quiet nature, I was curious. What was on his mind, I wondered. The way he looked at life, I was curious.

The more days I like Akemi. Every time I get a chance, I always talk to him, trying to find a topic so we can chat. He always answered seriously, asking me back, even though the look on his face never changed. I feel comfortable talking to him, he doesn't think of me as a bully. At a certain time, Akemi also waved her hand at me as we passed by.

At first I thought I could get closer to Akemi, secretly familiar, then end up being a couple.

But I was too naive. A girl as beautiful as Akemi will not be easy to get. Especially for an ordinary man like me.

Since then, I have been paying more and more attention to Akemi. More often than usual. Longer than usual.

Does Akemi like Erza? or has it been a long time but I was unconscious? When do they interact? What makes Akemi like Erza?

Akemi rarely smiled, rarely changing her expression, but when she saw Erza's face, her expression always softened.

Yeah, the way I look at Erza is like that. Surprisingly, when they chat, Akemi just expression as usual. I have an assumption right away. Did Akemi hide her feelings for Erza?

The highlight when I was about to visit the Banana Chips cafe with my sister. I saw before my own eyes, Erza was feeding Akemi a plate of spaghetti.

I immediately stopped stepping. Seeing them from far away. Do you know if it was Erza and Akemi?

And it turns out to be true.

I immediately invited my sister home. Pack the food we ordered.

I can't see a scene like this. I don't want to disturb them.

My first love had fallen before the moon had even changed. I started to think it was impossible to get a girl to stare at a man in such a way.

On that very day, I gave up on getting Akemi.

***

I tried to keep quiet, and not ask Erza this. But I finally said it today. Especially after Akemi threw a hard code yesterday.

"Erza, are you and Akemi dating?"

"Huh? Says who?"

"I've seen you two eat at the cafe banana chips. You're feeding Akemi spaghetti."

"Eh? See her? Oh, my God, that's so embarrassing. Please don't tell anyone!" Erza pleads.

"Okay, so are you guys dating?"

Erza then explains that she and Akemi used to be SD friends. Erza said she used to have a promise debt to Akemi, and she had to do everything according to Akemi's orders.

"I don't remember making how many promises. I suspect Akemi's making up so I can tell you, hahaha."

Oh, shit, I'm so jealous. If I was in Erza's position. I would love to do whatever he promises.

"But, I just found out, Akemi used to turn out to be stupid and quiet, huh."

"Yes, it used to be quieter than it is now. His speech stuttered, was often nervous, and there was no confidence in him at all."

"Then you came and changed Akemi, did you?"

"I just asked him to be friends. Akemi changed because of her own efforts."

I see, Akemi likes Erza. It is only fitting that he rejects many courting calls from others. This man is his little hero.

"Erza, do you realize that Akemi likes you?"

I wanted to say that, but I promised Shuu not to take care of other people's love affairs.
