Hogo No Yujin (Protective Friend)
Episode 51– Back To School

*DYLAN LEVIANO *POV

Next day–

I don't know what happened yesterday. I was so confused and upset that my room was always a mess. Cause it's because of that one eye!

What if my comic collection and figures are destroyed and damaged? They look simple in the eyes of others. But they don't know the price is fantastic.

Who does not know the price, do not be so hard!

Ah, by the way today I have an exam at school. It feels so bad to want to get out of the house. But how else? I had to take this exam if I didn't want my rapot to be all red.

Present, for this Sunday alone my soul of laziness dimmed for a moment. Also, a day's repetition is only two lessons. Later come home, at least until the afternoon as usual.

Then, come on Dylan! The spirit! Don't nolep for a while. It's for your future!

This morning, I woke up at six in the morning. When I woke up, I went to the bathroom to get ready. After that, I came out of the bathroom and saw Takana just came out of my room.

Just Takana. I know the twin must still be sleeping in my room. Just be careful if he doesn't tidy up his old little bed, then I'll trample all his tentacles!

"Ohaiy... Dylan-san!"

Takana said the morning met to me in Japanese. His face was still like a sleepy person and his hair was a mess.

Uh, but Takana's hair is messy every day.

"Yes, morning." I disfigured. "Where is your brother?"

"Oh, he's still sleeping in the room."

"Tell him, if you wake up straight back in his bed. Don't be so happy!"

Takana nodded in understanding. She wants to take a shower and if her sister doesn't wake up, Takana will wake her up.

I went back to my room to get my school uniform. Since coming out of the bathroom, I have only worn a towel that covers half my body from the abdomen to the legs.

While in the room, I still saw the one eye sleeping under my bed. I had to tread carefully because the man was always sleeping with his tentacles out.

Doesn't look disgusting, but I'd be uncomfortable if I wanted to pass around my room. Anyway, the tentacles can only destroy strange monsters like yesterday. Don't ruin my valuables.

KRIEEET....

I opened the closet door and took my white shirt with his black school coat. After that the blue-gray pants and tie are the same color as the pants.

After that, I put it all on and tidied it up. Then I stared at the glass to tidy up my hair that was still wet from the shower.

So I dried it first with a hairdryer before I comb it.

After everything is tidy, I will prepare my bag by the bed. But after I was ready with school supplies, suddenly the Takana twin woke up.

He had already left from his dream realm as it turned out. Ah but I don't care about it. But I just wanted to warn him one thing.

"Oi, Tanaka! Now you get your old bed done, huh? You've got to clean it up yourself."

Tanaka just nodded. He had just woken up and had not had enough energy to wake up. So he'll be quiet for a moment.

Then I'll just get out of the room.

But when I opened the door, Takana emerged from behind it. I was surprised by her presence and accidentally stepped on Tanaka's slightly slippery tentacles and finally fell backwards.

"Oh, Dylan-san! You're all right sa.. jaaaa.. aaaaduh!"

BRUK!

Takana stepped on her sister's tentacles and fell on me. This morning was really bad. In fact he fell down and took off his towel, so half his upper body could be seen.

Quickly, I closed my eyes and gave the towel back to Takana for her to wear. "Wear oy! Don't get naked in here!"

"I–i–iyaaaa..." Takana looks shy. He quickly re-enveloped his body with a towel, then stood up again.

I didn't feel like my body was hurting because when I fell down, I landed on Tanaka's lap. But it's just, my shirt's a little muddy.

"You okay, Dylan?" ask Tanaka slowly. He touched my hair and stroked it, then played my crest that always extended upwards when I was in shock.

Quickly, I threw out my hand to keep her hand away from my head. "Don't touch me!"

Tanaka responded with a sweet smile and slightly flushed cheeks. I'm a little sick of seeing his face. So I just woke up again and left the two sisters who were still inside.

****

The one-eyed octopus broke the dining table again and caused the food on the table to fall apart on the floor!

Of course it can't be eaten, dong!

Now my mood is broken. Even at this moment, some people were looking at me because Takana who was walking behind me had caught their attention.

Takana. The twin sister of the one-eyed octopus went to school like me. Why did he go to school when we first met, he found my brother on the street! Why would my sister want to pay for her school, anyway?

Even in class... Takana always can't keep quiet. Like at the moment. I don't know what he's doing, but his attitude is like a child by walking while jumping around and singing funny songs in Japanese.

I was so scared to see that kid myself. So I accelerated my path as more and more other children were watching Takana because of his attitude which they considered cute.

Cute what?!

****

After putting the bag in class, I immediately went back to walk to the cafeteria. It's not unusual for me to do it because every time I get into class, I'm gonna be dumbstruck in my seat.

But sometimes I like someone throwing garbage at me.

Yep. I'm still a bully victim to this day. But after the presence of the Irvan from another school and the man was often close to me lately, it has begun to decrease the children who like to play tricks on me to make me upset.

"Dylan-san?" ask Takana who is walking beside me.

"No. I can buy it myself."

I really like sweets. But since many strange events happened to me and .. time running my hobby so reduced, I rarely eat sweets for daily snacks.

But now, I want to buy some more candy in the cafeteria. It can be a good snack in class. Because when eating candy, it will not be easily known by the teachers if I was eating in class.

After giving candy and a loaf of bread from the canteen, I gave one of my Candies to Takana because she has helped me a lot now.

This is just once! Still I don't want to be his friend because he's a weird kid who comes from another world.

"Yeah! Get some candy from Dylan-san!" Takana is excited himself. I only gave him one. Is one candy valuable to her? But he bought his own candy.

"Can you shut up, right?! I'll take the candy again!" my snapping. He was so noisy that someone else glanced at us again.

It sucks!

"Hello, Takana! Dylan!"

Two people came to us. When I glanced, it turned out that the one who greeted it was Bell and his super quiet male partner. Maybe he's mute.

"Bell-chan!" Takana. They both look happy to meet in the cafeteria. Both of their attitudes are the same. But don't equate me with that mute boy!

"Bell-chan is? Why are your clothes wet?" takana asked anxiously while patting Bell's uniform. Maybe the goal is for that Bell shirt to dry.

"You fell in the gutter, huh?" I also asked.

"Didnit! Dylan! It's not! I fell because–"

Irvan the quiet man who became Bell's partner also interrupted the girl's answer by smothering her mouth. After that, he nodded slowly at Bell.

"Huh? Why not get it reported?"

They seem to be hiding something from me. Just like my people at home. But mostly I know it. Although I myself still do not understand the name of the monsters they always face.

I glanced at Takana beside me. He just fell silent. He seemed to be thinking of something in his head. If only I could read his mind.

Irvan patted Bell on the shoulder, then nodded and glanced at me twice. I took it as a signal. What do they want to do? Don't take me anymore in their business, dong!

"Anu... Dylan! Irvan and I want to tell you one thing about you and Takana too." Bell said firmly. Then he pulled my hand and took her away. "But not here. I'm afraid someone's heard this."

"Eh?! What problem does he mean? Don't tell me this is about monsters?" I whispered.

"Yes. It's about Oni."

Oh gosh. What else am I involved with with them? And I didn't do anything!
