Chapter 445: Take him home, senpai

Because of Izumi-senpai suddenly crossing her arms, her slightly wet uniform that was sticking to her skin made it easy for me to make out the shape of her fluffy hills squeezed together. The outline of her brassiere also came into view and that made her a tad bit too sexy at the moment.

I knew I was acting like a pervert again when this was the first thing I’d noticed but who would blame me? It’s exactly what appeared before my eyes. My mind instantly thought of that as soon as that part of hers got registered in my eyes.

“T… This pervert. Stop staring at me like that and answer my question.”

Noticing my eyes that were stuck on her chest, Izumi-senpai hurriedly pulled up his arms to cover it and twisted her body to get it out of my line of sight.

“Ah. I’m sorry, senpai, it’s a man’s reflex.”

Scratching my head before giving an apology, I saw how her brows furrowed as she bit her lips in slight irritation.

Even though we already sat Ogawa on a chair, the guy only slumped his shoulders down and lowered his head.

With that position, he seemed to be on the verge of tumbling down from his seat if he further lowered his body.

Perhaps the truth I slapped into him truly scarred his mind. His brain couldn’t process it and that’s why he turned into this. His brain probably short-circuited from the revelations and truths I had him gulp down.

“Answer my question, Onoda-kun.” Returning her gaze back after making sure that she covered herself from my leering eyes, Izumi-senpai repeated. “What happened? You two talked about something, right?”

It was easy to notice the worry in her eyes as she looked at the slumped guy behind her. Perhaps she’s already thinking about how she could comfort him after this. Whether she would use that as her chance to get the guy to look at her or not, I had no idea.

“Yes, we did talk about something. He probably couldn’t handle the truth, that's why he became like that.”

“The truth of?”

“What else? That Nami is my girlfriend, not his. You knew how he still couldn’t let go of the fantasy that Nami would become his girlfriend, senpai.”

I promised Shizu to also tell the others about the truth that in a sense, Ogawa and Nami were originally the ones in a relationship after that confession of his. However, now’s not the time. Perhaps if I was alone with this girl, I would tell her but with the possibility that Ogawa was just acting to snoop more information from my mouth, I wouldn’t tell her just yet.

Perhaps the time for that would be when this guy finally accepted that his fantasy wouldn’t happen anymore. At this point, he was still at the processing stage if I could call this state of his as that.

“I see…”

Slowly taking in my answer, Izumi-senpai flashed a hint of sadness in her eyes as she turned around to walk towards Ogawa.

She then lowered her body and almost knelt down in front of him to see his lowered face.

Following that, the delinquent girl reached in to touch his face and tenderly cup his cheek with her palm.

However, even when she did that, Ogawa remained dead-still and unresponsive. He might be in his own thoughts, calculating the paths and possibilities he could take or he just truly shut his mind down after everything that I told him.

Although I wanted to walk towards her and stop her from comforting the guy who probably didn’t need it, I deemed it not wise to do so at this moment. No matter what, the girl was doing this because she wanted to. It’s her choice.

“Senpai, you should also dry yourself or you’ll catch a cold. That guy also needs to warm up. I think it’s better for you to take him home rather than return to the club room when he’s like that. I’ll tell Arisa-senpai and the others.”

Upon hearing what I said, panic instantly flashed from her eyes, however, it stabilized quickly as she hurriedly stood up to face me and nodded.

“... I will do that. Thank you, Onoda-kun.”

“Do you need help in bringing him down?”

It’s not that he’s disabled but just from bringing him in from the rooftop to here, this girl was already sweating from it. Despite her delinquent-like appearance, this senior lacked the strength.

“No. Just tell Arisa to not wait for me and join Nanami and the others. About the clients, I will also leave it to her. Tell her I’m sorry, alright?”

“Understood. Well then… Take care, senpai.”

Before leaving the room, I looked at Ogawa one more time but the guy was still the same. Oozing out the despair he felt from what I told him.

I was targeting Izumi-senpai to spite Ogawa for the sake of the delinquent girl… However, this was a chance that she could take for herself. If she could make him change his mind completely then I would stop any advances I planned towards her. However, if nothing good came out of this and the guy continued to brush her away… I would make her happy in his stead.

Not that I was an expert at making a girl happy but she deserved someone else that would appreciate her efforts. It didn’t necessarily need to be me but why would I still pass her to another guy when I could take her for myself? I was a greedy bastard after all.

Besides, I already began my plan to steal her affection, it’s a waste to throw away the progress I made with her.

When I returned to the clubroom, Nami and Hina immediately went to me to ask me what happened. Telling them what I also told Izumi-senpai, the two girls flashed a hint of worry in their eyes. Nonetheless, they both recovered quickly and thanked me.

The two clients from earlier had already left so after Nami and Hina went back to their seats, I relayed to everyone in the room about what Izumi-senpai asked me to tell Arisa-senpai.

Well, the others were also curious about what happened when Ogawa had me follow him so… telling them the summary of what happened, all of them had varying reactions but none of them truly called me out. Not Tadano and not Arisa-senpai.

Perhaps not now, but when the time comes to tell them the truth about my relationship with Nami, their reactions will not just be them nodding their heads. I expect angry glares or comments from them. Especially from the kindhearted Arisa-senpai.

Following that, they began preparing to leave.

Since I was there and I still had something to talk about with Nami and Hina, I helped them reorganize the room. The table now had a small indentation where Ogawa’s fist hit. He surely used all his strength to punch that table. It went to show how much rage he accumulated seeing Nami and I kiss each other lovingly in front of him.

10 minutes later, we began moving out of the clubroom. However, before going out of the school, I asked for a few minutes to those who would walk with them and brought Hina and Nami with me to talk about the things that happened earlier.

Hina was unaware of what Nami witnessed when I went to the Gymnasium. However, since we also needed to talk about what went on between us in the infirmary, I might as well tell her everything that happened after I left the infirmary.
