Chapter 41 - Before Departure

Ryou is currently laying on his bed.

He recalled what just happened...

This world is affected because he is there.

'How stupid am i to think everything is going to be the same as the story.'

As he think about that, his phone ringing, looking at the caller ID, he smiled.

-Ichinose Honami-

He take his phone and accept it.

*On the phone*

Honami: "Hello, Ryou? Where are you?"

'She is sound worried about me, and i can hear Ringo's voice too.'

Ryou: "Hello Honami, of course i'm at my room, where do you think am i?"

Ringo: "We're coming!"

*Call ended*

'They are really something huh, i'm blessed with such good friend, if i let them down, how can i call myself a man.'

..

A knocking sound came from the door.

Ryou: "Sup, whats going on?"

Honami: "What is whats going on? I heard you fought with an armed man!"

Ringo: "What the hell do you think are you doing!"

Ryou: "Hey hey, calm down okay. Lets get inside, or you want to hear a weird gossip about 2 girls shouting in boys dormitory?"

Both of them going inside leaving Ryou.

He only can shake his head.

..

They seat near Ryou's bed.

'This is the second time i'm inside his room' Honami thought.

'Hm... still ordinary as ever' Ringo thought.

Ryou placed two cup of tea for his friends and a coffee for himself.

Honami: "So, mind to tell us the story?"

Ringo: "Don't you know how worried are we when we heard about the news?"

Ryou: "First, how are you guys know about the news? Is this released from the school?"

Honami: "Ayanokouji-kun is the one who inform us."

Ryou: "Lets hope this is not going to spread around the school."

Honami: "I don't think so, Ayanokouji-kun said only a few people know about this."

Ryou: "Thats great then."

Ringo: "So, tell us the story! A complete one!"

Then he began to search for her with a map with her location, only to see Airi is pinned down by the clerk.

And tell them about the fight.

Ringo: "Scum!"

Honami: "The worst!"

Ringo: "Human Garbage!"

Ryou only twitch his eye hear them swearing in front of him.

'It feels like i'm the one they sweared.'

Ryou: "Hey stop it, i'm the one who feels get sweared by you two!"

Both of them laughing at him.

Honami: "So, what happen after that?"

Ryou: "We're asked a few questions in the police station and warned to call them if something like this ever happened again."

Ringo: "After that?"

Ryou: "What do you mean after that?"

Honami: "What happened to Airi-chan?"

He remember about the hug and the kiss.

..

..

a few seconds of silence.

Ryou: "Nothing."

Honami: "Care to explain what is nothing means?"

Ringo: "Suspicious"

Ryou: "I walked her back to the dormitory."

Honami: "But i heard from Ayanokouji-kun, Airi-chan is alone when she get back to the dormitory."

Ryou: "Yeah, she get back first."

Ringo: "Why did she leave you?"

Ryou: "Guys, i'm not the suspect here, please turn off your interrogation mode."

Honami: "We just want to know."

Ringo: "Yeah..."

Ryou: "Haah..." sighing, resign his fate, he confess to them.

Ryou: "She kissed me."

Honami & Ringo: "Whaaaatttttt!!!!"

Ryou: "Hey, chill! Tune your voice down!"

Honami: "How can we chill?!"

Ringo: "How come it comes to a kiss?"

Ryou: "Calm down, maybe its because she still in shocked condition and confused about how she going to repay me. Please don't blame her."

Honami: "Of course! Why should we?"

Ringo: "But... isn't that your first kiss?"

Ryou: "Other than mom's, yeah."

Honami: "How can you be so calm about that?"

Ryou: "What can i do? The milk has been spilled. I can do nothing about that!"

..

(Honami & Ringo)

'Airi-chan, what a fearsome hidden enemy.' they thought.

..

Next day in the class.

Honami and Ringo felt defeated by Airi.

They never think she is bold enough to do that if they look at her nature.

Ryuji: "Hey Ryou, have you prepared everything for the vacation?"

Ryou: "Yeah, what about you girls?"

Honami: "Hm? We still need more time."

Ryou: "Not finished yet?"

Ringo: "Girls need more things."

Fumino: "You are not allowed to ask that you know..."

Ryuji: "Must be hard to be a girl."

Ryou: "Want to try?"

Ryuji: "You are out of your mind!"

..

Chie: "So, you guys need to prepare yourself okay~ Ryou-kun and Honami-chan, please lead your friends carefully, i'm sure you both can do that!"

Honami: "Okay Chie-sensei."

Ryou: "I'm ready for the duty."

Chie: "Ah.. and Ryou-kun, mind if you come to the staff room later?"

Ryou: "Okay."

..

Ryuji: "What have you done this time?"

Ryou: "Why are you asking like i'm a problem student?"

Ryuji: "You are not?"

Ryou: "You need to be cleansed, your brain has been contaminated with evil spirit!"

..

At the staff room.

Ryou knock the door and asking about Chie.

Chiyabashira: "She is over there." while pointing at the staff rest area.

Chiyabashira: "What is the hero of my class need from her?" she smirked to Ryou.

Ryou's eyes twitched from her sarcasm.

Ryou: "Excuse me, i'll be going there first."

Looking at Chie lazying on the sofa, Ryou thought how she can became a teacher? Often shown in class while still in hungover too, even tell them if they are graduated from class A she will get a lot of bonuses from the school.

'Haaaah....'

Ryou: "Excuse me, you need something from me Chie-sensei?"

Chie: "Ahh Ryou-kun, my maann~ come here!" she pat the sofa beside her.

Ryou sit in front of her.

Chie: "Why are you sit over there? Come sit beside me."

Ryou: "Isn't it easier to talk if we are facing each other Chie-sensei?"

Chie: "Ahhh~ you want to take a look at your beautiful homeroom teacher?"

Ryou: "Of course, why would i refuse to look at beautiful lady in front of me?"

Not expecting that kind of answer, Chie blushed before smiling back to him.

'I will not lose this time!' she tought.

Chie: "Ara~ so, you're into older women?"

Ryou: "Age doesn't matter when it came to liking right?"

Chie: "How come you are not talk like a boy your age? It feels like i'm talking to someone older than me." She said feel defeated.

'I really am much older than you.'

Ryou: "Age is not related to someone's maturity Chie-sensei."

Chie: "See?"

Ryou: "So, what do you need from me?"

Chie: "Eehh~ why are you in hurry, is talking to me troublesome to you?"

Ryou: "Its not about troublesome or not, our lunch break is limited, so i want to eat my food before next class started."

Chie: "Can't you eat here?"

Ryou: "I don't bring my bentou box."

Chie: "Fine then, even though its fun to talk to you but you're right. Can you tell me about that incident?"

Ryou began to explain what happened to her.

Of course without the hug and kiss.

Chie: "Oohhh.. you know martial arts Ryou-kun?"

Ryou: "Somehow, just for self defense, and it works."

Chie: "Thats cool! Ahh... Airi-chan must be head over the heels for you now Ryou-kun. What am gonna do, you're going to be snatched away from me~"

Ryou: "Its not related Chie-sensei, i'm just helping a friend in need. And..." He lean a bit to the front. "i think no one is gonna snatch me away, we're going to be together..." He paused.

Shocked from the sudden attack, Chie starttled.

Ryou: "...for 3 years afterall. Right, Chie-sensei?"

Chie is not back from her shocked state yet from Ryou's sudden attack.

Ryou: "Ahh.. look what time it is, i think i'm gonna take my leave. Good bye Chie-sensei, and thank you for the entertainment." He leave the room with smirk on his face.

..

(Chie POV)

'What was that? Huh... where is Ryou-kun?'

I start to search for him.

Chiyabashira: "He just leave the room."

Chie: "Whaaat?"

'I lost again to him~~'
