In the afternoon.
"I'll be there soon. Wait for me at the gate ya"
"Yosh, I'll wait for Minato in front. Today too I have to practice spirit" Akane muttered smiling.
"It looks like you've realized your mistake, Hanamura Akane!"
A girl blocks Akane's steps as she exits the school gate. It was Kitayama Rica.
"I'm sorry?" Akane frowned. He was quite confused by a girl who suddenly blocked his steps like that.
"Don't pretend to be stupid, Hanamura-san. If you go back to Shuu and make Noa sad again, I'll do something bad to you!" The truth about Akane.
"Shuu's? Noa's? Ah, as it turns out. I understand. I see, so please don't block my way" Akane's ketus will step back but Rika pushes Akane's body strong enough that her body staggers back.
At the same time, Minato, Shuu, and Noa who were walking along saw the incident happen. Minato quickly restrained Akane's body from falling backwards.
Akane!
Shuu who will help Akane is arrested by Noa. Her violet Netra looked at Noa as if asking her the reason why she stopped her steps. While the one being stared at only subdued his gaze. His hand was clasping Shuu's hand.
Shuu then turned his gaze to Akane and Minato and Rika there.
The minato? What the hell is he doing here?
"Don't go Shuu" said Noa tightened her grip.
Shuu then glanced at Noa at a glance and obeyed the wishes of the girl who was his lover.
...🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁...
"Are you okay?" Minato asked to help Akane stand up.
"Thank you, Minato."
"Oh, Kazemai's son? You already have a new target turned out. But it's better than having you back to bother Shuu and Noa" Rika explained back to smiling lightly.
"Aaah ah, I'm sorry Minato. Even though you have come all the way here, but instead see bad things like this" Akane said while tidying up her uniform.
"It's okay Akane. Ano, is there a problem?"
"I don't understand either. He suddenly confronted me and pushed me like that" she told Minato.
"Don't pretend you don't know Hanamura Akane!" Rika again snapped at Akane. His eyes were staring at Akane's net guts.
"Etto, I'm sorry Miss but I really don't know you. Suddenly blocking my path and pushing me like that, isn't that disrespectful? I haven't even approached Shuu and made Noa sad but you've done such a bad thing" Akane explained giving Rika a sharp look.
"That's your fault! You were wrong for approaching Shuu. You're wrong for being a bully. Many people are disturbed by you. You're interfering with Shuu and Noa's relationship, you're even being very intrusive at the Kyudo club!" It was obvious that he was back to Akane.
"Don't you ever think about how hard Shuu is when you keep him around?!" Further.
Akane clenched her hand. He gritted his teeth.
Bullies, bullies, bullies! I also know I'm a bully, you don't have to mention that much!
"Therefore I stayed away from him as well as the Kyudo club, but it seemed to be a waste because I was still considered a bully" Akane muttered which Minato could still hear.
The clear green netra looked at Akane heartily.
Akane clenched her hand. The anger reached the top. He's gonna explode.
"Ka"
"Sorry Miss, it may be true that Akane has disrupted Shuu's relationship and her lover's but I don't think you can just break it" Minato said with a stern look.
"We've been together since childhood, so if you're concerned about relationships, then Akane and Shuu's relationship is strong" Green Netra looks the same as usual but we can feel the seriousness for those who look at her.
"I think the one who has the right to decide that Akane is a bully to Shuu is Shuu himself. You can't just decide if you don't know Shuu or Akane. I don't think you should interfere too much, miss. Akane and Shuu's relationship should only be decided by Akane and Shuu anyway. And I don't think Akane and Shuu's closeness was a mistake, their relationship wasn't a mistake. Please don't decide like that!" Minato's Assertiveness to Rika. With her usual intonation, her green net staring firmly at Rika signified she said it in earnest.
"Let's Akane, we'll be late later" said Minato pulling Akane's arm gently.
Meanwhile on the other hand, Shuu also looked at Rika with his sharp and cold gaze. He clenched his hands tightly. While Shiragiku Noa just subdued his gaze. He did not dare to look at Shuu who was being surrounded by a black aura.
Minato was right, Akane was innocent. He is not a bully and our relationship is not a mistake!
"No, actually I can't understand anything. Why do you and the people always call Akane a bully?" Shuu asked staring in the ruby netra.
"Ano, i-it's.."
Shuu was silent waiting for a response from Noa. That warm violet netra turned cold.
"K-because he's blocking our relationship, Shuu" she said nervously.
"Distrain? Please say it clearly, I can't understand it" Shuu's pinta returned.
"I am your lover but he is always with you. Even though I was beside you but he always tried to get your attention and ignored me. You were too close to him and I couldn't take it. He's blocking me from getting closer to you, he's interfering with our relationship, Shuu!"
Ruby's netra is glazed. His breathing began to become irregular. He said everything that had stuck in his mind and heart all this time.
"You're just jealous, aren't you? If only you had told me directly, I would probably have kept a little distance with Akane and Akane would not have said such a thing" His face was still as calm as ever with such low intonation as usual.
"But Shuu, he's already very late. You think our relationship is what allows strangers into our relationship!" Noa's protest returned, but she fell silent as she received a cold look from Shuu.
"Are you not troubled by his attitude that cannot be silent? Aren't you worried about other people talking about you? I know how depressed you are because of a friend like her, you must be very hard, right?" Noa protested with confidence.
Highlight the sharp and cold eyes, showing that the violet netra really did not like it.
"Sorry Noa, it looks like we can't understand each other. I don't understand how you feel, nor you who can't understand how I feel. It might be true, for you Akane is a stranger, but different from me. To me, Akane is no stranger and I never once thought that Akane was a bully to my life. He is the only one who can pull me out of my safe zone" Shuu said, staring into Noa's eyes.
"Everything Minato said was true. You have no right to decide how I relate to Akane. Also my relationship with Akane was not a mistake. Sorry, we can't understand each other. Let's end this relationship."
