"But what you did to me was different. Why do you always come when I'm not okay?"
His lowered self now looked at me expectantly. I who saw himself could only look down unmoved for a moment, and right at the hour hand of the wall right about the number 12, I opened my mouth, and said.
"If it is, I can— (Ting... Kegs... Ting... Vat.)"
The sound of the third lesson bell rang right when I said it. Kanzaki tried to bring his ears closer to my lips but the result was that his body fell onto my body.
"You why the hell...?" I asked who was trying to stand up.
"Sorry, your words were not heard because of the bell! Can you do it again?" He asked back.
"I-I won't repeat it again!" My answer.
"Ehh? Whyyy?! I haven't heard!!" He fell down while standing on his back to me who was still lying on the floor.
"finally, i... That, shame!" My speech.
Without realizing that my face was getting hot for some reason, I turned around and squatted in front of the cracks near the door.
"Forgot that and look here" I cried.
"See what?" He asked while crouching next to me.
"Look at the side slit of this door there's a hole, right? In order for the sound of your game to be heard no more, you must cover it with a towel or carpet so that the sound is muffled. Well, although not perfect either, but you'll get a pretty good soundproof room" I said.
He also nodded. I smiled with satisfaction and at the same time our eyes met each other. By reflex I immediately got away from him.
"Ehem... Besides, you should use this too"
I took the broom and the pengki that were in the locker next to her again and handed it to Kanzaki.
"You need to clean this place properly. Since this is completely yours, you must take responsibility for its cleanliness"
" After all, don't you realize how dirty this room is? I've been painstakingly repairing cracked walls and airtight upholstery from the start, you've dirty it. Remember one thing, I'm here to reclaim my private space and not worry about you!"
I said at length with words filled with anger and arrogance unconsciously. After a few seconds, I began to realize it and soon regretted it. Kanzaki looked at me with both eyes still covered in tears. Before long, he took a breath and let out his slowly then said:
"—so that's your goal to bring the bus to school?"
"Lho's? What the fuck is that annoying expression?! Where's the innocent face of the kitten just a moment ago?" My shivering mind.
"Hahaha, do you think that by playing the bus, you can beat me? You idiot!" Ledek.
"Please cut me as much. It's true that I was playing bass for the first time and the tempo is still falling. But I will definitely be able to chase you!" Reply while folding hands on chest.
"Alright if that's what you want. I'll hold your word, we'll fight who's the greatest on the guitar. The prize for the winner is this classroom" he said.
"Okay, who's afraid!" My speech.
After saying that, I handed the broom and the pengki to Kanzaki. At the same time, I laughed because all the anxiety I was worried about was gone. I admit that I was panicked to see her pensive and crying, but now I feel she's okay.
Kanzaki who was still silent in his place, now put on a reddened face hue while confused looking at me.
"You why?" Ask.
"It's okay, just relieved" I replied as I walked towards the locker and looked around for something.
"Lega? Why do you feel it?" He asked again as he began to sweep.
"I'm relieved because, you're not crying anymore and you're back to how you were. At first I was worried that you would continue to cry and pensively continue here, but now you're as cheerful and annoying as ever... It feels so good!" I said at length, as wide as my current smile.
Kanzaki's face turned red and he turned his face away from me. In an instant he was done sweeping and cleaning the dust. What a miracle beyond logic.
Kanzaki, who had finished cleaning the room, sat on the sofa with a hunting breath. I don't know why he was just being chased by a dog.
"What are you doing Daritadi?" He started asking again after his breathing was regular.
"I'm taking this!" I answered while showing him a can.
"... Spray anti-insect?" He read.
"really. Once this room is clean, you sometimes have to spray this. Because there are so many centipedes, worms, and so on. For now anyway, you're safe from cockroaches" I explained as I sprayed the spray onto a specific area.
Shortly after I sprayed the spray and died in the room, a loud door opened behind me. I turned my head and saw Kanzaki running out of the room with a deathly pale face.
"Now what's up?!" I'm lazy.
".... What else try!? I've left just like you asked, so please occupy the room peacefully. Anyway, I've been wanting to get back to class. If you want to come along, maybe still have time to take some lessons" he replied.
"Huh?! What the fuck? You want to renege on the challenge we made a few minutes ago? Know that, say it from the beginning!!!" I scratched my head in annoyance.
"I... I.... I... It's also your fault you know!! Why don't you tell me earlier that there like insects?!" She screamed half in tears, making her look like a child separated from her mother while shopping.
I patted the jidat. "Why did you say? It's because you didn't ask! Wrong myself" I replied.
"That's not a problem anymore, is it? You've already occupied it, too.."
"That!! You Stupid!!" Kanzaki yelled and hit my arm many times, while I could only sigh and laugh at his childlike behavior.
🎶
We returned to class after the first, second and third hours. During the class trip, Kanzaki did not take his hand off my right hand which he held very tightly. Before returning to class, I was told to eradicate all the insects and it took about 1 hour. Not to forget also I closed the cracks using plaster so that insects can not enter again.
"Wah-wah, Sora-chan is back!" Sakura Seru.
"Arata's good work, you can take him to class" Kento said, giving a thumbs up.
"What's wrong, why did you go to class together? With his hands again... Do you guys do anything in that room?" Tempting Satoshi while smiling laughably.
"Welcome back, Sora-chan!" Said Ino the vice-chairman of the class.
I felt a little intimidated as all the eyes of the students here looked at us with strange gazes as they walked into the classroom.
"Wait a minute, why are you calling Kanzaki-san *Sora-chan*?" I asked the newly conscious.
Touyama Nanoka the class leader walked over proudly, then said:
"Me and all the students here have been discussing about a suitable new name for Kanzaki-san. There's a lot of name input, but we all agreed that we'd call you Sora-chan. This goes on from today"
"Good isn't it, onee-sama? We all wish you could live your days in school and outside freely without any obstructions like the vastness of the sky!" Tori-kun.
At first Kanzaki's pale white face looked more white once, but then immediately flushed. I always felt that even if he didn't say much, anyone could easily tell what he was thinking through his change of expression.
"—why you.... Did this?" It looks like he wants to cry.
"That's obvious. You don't like being called by your name or your clan. It would be very troublesome if you wanted to talk or play with you. That's why we made a new name for you" Haruka exclaimed.
"Ja-so that's why yeah..." I faintly saw the faint smile of his face visible. He seems very happy.
"If you don't like that name, we'll bow down and apologize to you" Momo said.
"No... Not necessary! I like it" she denied.
"Thank God then. From now on, please help her yes, Sora-chan" I said as I blinked one eye at her.
"Huu what is this? Arata don't-don't have a crush, do you?" Sakura Goda.
"Bu-not really!" I answered nervously with a red face. I don't know what the reason is, Kanzaki's face also blushed.
"Ah yes! Sora-chan, tomorrow is your picket. So come early and don't run away! If it's too late, I'll punish you!" Ino Assertive.
"Ba-good!" Nervous answer.
"One more thing, if Sora-chan needs anything you can ask Saki-kun for help"
The cold words of the class chief directly condemned my destiny without asking for the approval of the person concerned.
"Why should I?"
"Average.... Arata's... Do you know?"
Toono who was sitting on the chair beside me explained, "We always call
prince or princess by the name of His Majesty, right? You know why?"
"I don't know and don't care. What does this have to do with all this?" I said origin
"That means, we are his subordinates who also serve them. And
it is impolite to speak directly to the royal family, we can only speak to the servant." Toono continued.
"Wahh so~ thanks to me for getting a new science! It means that the servant in question is me, isn't it?!" My speech that was answered nods everything.
"I? Why?" although I protested repeatedly all the male disciples smacked their fists at the table, no
one ignored me because the decision had been accepted by many students in this class, and it was useless for me to reject it.
I looked towards the only one who might be my savior— Haruka. However, all he did was look at me and Kanzaki blankly, annoyed and suspicious. He then left the classroom with a strange expression just before he completely disappeared from the classroom.
"What's wrong with Haruka?" Thought.
On the other hand, Haruka was walking fast while shedding tears along the road. His footsteps, which were moving faster, slowed down and stopped right in front of the toilet.
When he opened the door and saw himself in the mirror, he suddenly sat down and cried.
"Why?.. Whyyy?... Why is it always Ta-chan who is told to take care of Kanzaki-san?" Her speech.
"It hurts.. There's something sick in my body! Like a knife! It's always this way! Every time I see Ta-chan with Kanzaki-san or another woman! Why?" thought Haruka whose cries were getting louder.
" It's like someone's hurt, but not my limbs. Then... What kind of wound does this hurt?" Haruka Muttered.
