CH 5

Uh, it’s nothing. It should be okay.

I’m sure everything is fine.

“Hmm? What’s wrong? Sō-chan…are you gasping for air?”

“Oh, it’s Kanna. Maybe a little bit.”

I ran as fast as I could for the first time in a long time.

I didn’t have to run that fast because she wasn’t chasing me, but I just ran as fast as I could to the classroom.

Anyway, in front of me is Kanna, who looks into my face with an innocent expression from a close distance.

I’m sure Sayaka thought I was a creepy guy, but there’s nothing I can do about it now.

I feel a little sad, but I probably won’t have anything to do with her anymore.

“Don’t tell me… “

Ah? What’s wrong, Kanna? You look so pale all of a sudden

“Ah, I knew it, you still remember that roundhouse-kick from that time… “

???

“Roundhouse-kick? “

I don’t understand, but Kanna is fidgeting in front of me.

”Uh-huh. I’ve said it many times, but I’m really sorry about that time, Sō-chan. I wasn’t ready for it at that time. It’s not that I don’t like you or anything. But at that time, I was so surprised that my body just did reflex behavior.”

And now, for some reason, she was a bit hesitant while explaining something…

Huh?

I noticed that Kanna was gently stroking my temple.

“Could it be that the kick hit this spot, uh, well, that roundhouse kick…maybe?”

“Yeah. I’m really sorry about that time. But it was your fault too. You made such a naughty face out of nowhere….. “

In front of me is Kanna, who is fidgeting even more, saying.

”Ha?　What? Naughty face? “

Of course, the kicking is one thing, but a naughty face? what do you mean?

“Yes. ……. Don’t you remember?　It was right after Sō-chan stopped going to school. I was worried, so I went to visit him right away. Then Sō-chan suddenly tried to push me down with a naughty look on his face, which startled me and made me reflexively… “

?? Push down Kanna?

This Kanna?

You said that happened after I stopped going to school…

That bastard.

Seriously?

“But I’m really glad. After that, I went to Sō-chan’s house several times to apologize, but you never came out, and I thought you completely hated me. So I’m really happy right now that I can talk with Sō-chan like before! You even came to the school again. But I’m really sorry. Are you okay now? “

“Ah, yes… “

Come to think of it, I can’t help but think that Kanna apologized to me a lot when I started going back to school again.

I didn’t really understand what she meant, and I thought it wasn’t a big deal since it was Kanna, so I just said yes.

The reality is different than I thought

I mean, that guy.

Did he take that kick from Kanna?

Hey, I’m surprised you’re still alive. I mean, I’m surprised my body is okay.

Seriously… That madman.

What’s he doing with my body?

Kanna has such a soft and gentle atmosphere, and she’s usually so mild-mannered, but she’s a very, very good karate girl who even won the junior high school championship.

And she is still active even after entering high school.

Last year, I think, she won some big tournament.

She’s a very talented karate prodigy with a pretty face.

Maybe he’s a little too fearless.

My temples suddenly started to ache when I learned that fact.

My body was also shaking.

“So, Sō-chan…… Well, I’m a girl too. There’s an order to it. That kind of thing. Um, as long as you follow the order, I’m totally okay with Sō-chan…I have been preparing myself for it….yes. I’m ready now.”

What?　Oh, did he go to the hospital?

I know because I’ve been watching some of her fights.

I really want to know if my body able to take Kanna’s powerful kicks with no injury…?

“Wait, Sō-chan. Are you listening? I’m talking about something important. Sō-chan. Are you listening?”

I’ve heard that this kind of thing can relapse as a hidden injury after a long time.

But from what I’ve heard, it happened 5-6 months ago, and if you ask me if my temples actually hurt now, they don’t.

No….. It shouldn’t be. Unless my sense of pain has became numb since that time.

“Geez! Sō-chan! Listen to me! Listen to me, please! “

I’m serious… Hey, it’s gonna be okay.

My body.

“Ugh, Sō-chan is an idiot!”

?

Huh? Why did she run away?

Kanna?
