Chapter 87

Oh, hey, Kai?

Whats going on?

Well, a lot has happened.

During the school festival at the girls school that I enjoyed with Aika and Fiana, the injuries to my honor that I received thanks to my involvement in the problems that arose there remained firmly in place.

The swelling in my mouth and cheek had gone down, but the area where I was hit was blackened, and thats how my two friends noticed it.

Its no big deal, man. Its just an honourable injury.

Oh yeah? Well, I dont think youre the kind of guy whos going to start a fight on your own.

Right. But if something happens, just tell me, okay?

I nodded, I know. I know.

Id be lying if I said I wasnt scared at all about that time, but I was reminded once again that people can be strong if there is someone they want to protect.

(In the end, I didnt know why it happened that way.)

In the end, I still dont know anything about the forced shutdown of the app and the following problem of not being able to start it up.

The app itself can be launched as many times as necessary without even activating hypnosis, so there seems to be no need to feel particularly anxious about it, but I still feel a little uneasy.

Then, while I was talking with Akira and the others about nothing else, Mari entered the classroom.

Ah, Kai-kun!

The moment she spotted me, Mari immediately ran up to me.

She came right beside me and put her hand on my cheek and patted it gently, but she probably wont stop even if I point out that this is a classroom.

(I mean, I made everyone worried)

What happened was reported through the group chat in which Mari and the others including me, were all participating, and Nayu and Mafuyu, who I dont normally see, were incredibly worried about me.

Of course, not only the girls, but also my sister, including my father and mother, were worried about me.

When I heard you got hit, I thought my heart was going to stop, you know?

Im sorry. But I was fine I mean, that one word fine doesnt suffice when you were so worried about me.

Yeah. See you at lunchtime at our usual place, okay?

Okay.

The words contained meanings that could only be understood between us.

Although the frequency of intimate exchanges with Mari is not high, we have been doing it rather recently in the classroom, so I have become accustomed to the stares that gather.

The two flamboyant guys who had tangled with me in the past also didnt bother me anymore, although they seemed to regret it.

I mean, does Aisaka know what happened?

From the looks of it, he seems to know, but

Aisaka may have been so worried about me that she couldnt see what was going on around me.

That makes me happy, and I think it also shows that the girls love me that much.

Mari just smiled, but Saika murmured that she liked him so much that only I could hear her, and hugged him from behind with all her might.

Strictly speaking, the embrace is just a little bit more than a body attachment and linking hands at the position of the chest.

(its a breast pillow)

It feels too soft to support my head, and this feels far more wonderful than the massage chairs sold at electronics stores.

Saika also seems to understand my thoughts and moves her body slightly to provide a variety of angles of softness.

fui

Although Ive worried everyone, its the best time of the morning, seriously.

After that, Saika returned to her classroom. Mari and the others took their seats and the teacher came.

(Hey buddy, seriously, whats going on?)

To use another favorite manga line in common with Fianna, its like {My buddy doesnt give me any answers} but why do I feel so lonely?

Rather than worrying, I felt lonely I had that kind of incomprehensible feeling.

Then time passed and it was after school, and three people including Emu, were by my side.

Senpai, who is your partner?

Emu-san? Your eyes are a bit scary

While putting her hand on my cheek like Mari and Saika, Emu mutters with eyes filled with hatred.

I was surprised at Emus unusual appearance, but thats how worried she was and at the same time she was revealing her resentment towards the other party.

Thanks, Emu. But its okay, its already over. Come on, smile for me, because I like it that way.

When I said this while rubbing Emus soft cheeks, her cheeks puffed up, but she immediately smiled at me.

We then talked again about that time, with Emu included.

Although the fact that the hypnosis app was not activated is a concern for the future, I am proud to say that I was brave enough to put my body on the line to protect Aika and Fianna.

Kai-kun protected me when I was there too, you know.

Thats what Kai-kun is like, with or without the app. Were connected by heart, and we know thats exactly what were doing.

Thank you, I thanked her.

Well, these girls were worried about me like this, and they talk about me a lot, but to tell you the truth, when this became known yesterday, after the worry, they were angry with me.

[Its really admirable. But you have to take care of yourself, too.]

Those words were to be strongly engraved in my mind.

Humans or maybe its just me, but when I have these girls on my back, I feel like Im going to protect them no matter what Im sure that I would put my body on the line even if someone had a knife in their hand.

(If I could protect my girlfriends thats a cool idea, but yeah. Ive already decided Im going to live in the future with these girls. Thats why I cant allow myself to be so shabby and make everyone else sad.)

Thinking about that, I had the same great lunch break as usual.

***

And when a few days passed, I saw that scene again.

It was the scene of a man being questioned by a woman about how he had molested her I wanted to use the hypnosis app to see if it was true, just like before. but even then I couldnt start the hypnosis app because of an error on my phones screen.
