The Strongest in High School
Chapter 17: The Decisions

"I used to wish someone would pull me in loneliness unfortunately it never came out, from which I thought if I saw the same person I would unhesitatingly pull it."

"You must be kidding me that I'm not lonely at all, I'm the chairman of OSIS that many people admire, me."

Nio could see how the defense that had been built by Roseanne could be destroyed bit by bit, as he did not want to go any further he cut in.

"We look like lovers fighting."

Roseanne began to understand as many eyes glanced at her, irritatedly shaking her hair and walking away, Nio decided to walk beside her despite being completely ignored and only silence could be felt at each step.

After making sure Roseanne had reached her apartment she had just left. He found it strange why he wanted to drive her when it was obvious that Roseanne was stronger than anyone in school at least that Nio was thinking now.

Not wanting to think about it anymore he finally arrived at a small and dilapidated apartment that had two floors. Everyone more often said it as a contract or so on.

Since Nio decided to leave the house he did not get facilities such as money or so on, it was as if his parents wanted him to give up and return to his old life.

Nio did not mind that, compared to whatever freedom it was necessary to maintain, it was necessary, for the money to eat and rent he got from working in a well-known publisher in Indonesia he was tasked to translate some novels or manga to be sold here mostly written in English and japan so he does not feel difficulty for it, after all he likes things like anime or comics.

Nio's room was at her top end, she reached into the key from her pants pocket and heard a click as she opened the door.

The place was so small that it only fit three people, there was nothing there except shelves, a small table and also futons to sleep on, no kitchen is just a bathroom made in such a way.

For Nio That was what he was grateful for, he did not want to queue just for a shower or other purposes, he dropped his bag and sat down to check his work on a laptop.

A call came in from his office.

"Hello Nio."

"Editors."

"We've got a new project now, it's a novel written by a famous author can you translate it, you'll take it for volumes 1, 2 and 3."

"Three Volumes at a Time."

"I understand."

"I'll send you the e-book, and when you're done send it directly."

"Good."

After Nio saw the contents he could only yell in frustration.

"It's too much, my goodness, I'm not the author but I can understand the suffering when you're hit by a dead line."

He will do it after dinner.

The next morning Nio slept at his desk as usual while sighing sluggishly, he wanted to finish his work three weeks early and another week he wanted to spend relaxing.

Edo who was sitting on the chair turned around to ask.

"You were out last night with Roseanne bro, did something happen between you two?"

"No, we just happened to go home in the same direction."

"It's a pity I thought you were gonna get beat up or something, it let me down bro."

"... So you expect me to be beaten by him."

"Haha a little."

"Don't listen to Edo, Nio. He's just jealous because you're close to Roseanne."

"I'm not sure to call it close either" Nio replies until a teacher walks into the classroom and begins her studies.
