Chapter 274: [The More We Fight, The Closer We Get]

Hey, Ogu, how was breakfast this morning? Was it good?

Hmph! munch munch

Um

Ogu wouldn't respond, so I sighed, thinking, "This isn't good.".

It's been like this since last night.

Yesterday, things got crazy with that incident at high school.

Honestly, today might be even more of a hassle.

Hey, Ogu. It's my fault, you know

Hmph!

She wouldn't even look at me properly as I awkwardly tried to apologize.

Normally, she'd be the one initiating conversations without me saying anything.

I really messed up

I remembered the scolding Ogu gave me yesterday.

When I got home, she was either angry or crying It was really tough.

-"Why have you been attacked twice already since coming to America for just a few months!?"

-"You're too defenseless! Be aware that you stand out!"

And finally,

"You always mess with my heart. I've had enough of you!"

And then, she just wouldn't listen to me anymore.

At that moment, I thought, "She'll probably be fine in the morning.".

I can't believe she's still mad even after a whole night.

This argument(?) with Ogu is a first for me. I have no idea how to handle it.

But there's something odd about this argument.

Even though she won't talk, isn't she closer to me than usual?

Ugh, stop it!

Oh, Ogu finally reacted.

She was sitting so close to me that our bodies were almost touching, eating breakfast.

It's hard to eat like this.

***

I messed up.

Oh, maybe we did something bad. But if that unlikely event were to happen. I think it'd be a bigger shock if we weren't informed about anything.

I understand.

I exchanged words with the Secret Service woman in the car.

As we arrived at the school bus stop, the car stopped.

What should we do? After what happened, should we start directly driving you to school from now on?

Thank you. But I think I'll continue taking the bus.

I see. Alright then. It seems like you've made some good friends too.

Well, it's not exactly like that. But, I should repay the favor for helping me.

Hehehe, let's go with that. Well then, take care

I was seeing off and then got on the school bus.

No delinquents were waiting for me today. No, there won't be anymore.

Yay! Iroha-chan, we've been waiting for you!

We heard about yesterday's incident! You beat those guys up, right? That's awesome!

Wow!?

I was welcomed with cheers.

The incident from yesterday seemed to be well-known already, as the topic dominated the conversation inside the bus.

With this, peace has returned to this bus!

Yeah, I'm glad everyone's safe! Oh, Iroha-chan, over here!

I was directed to my usual seat. But the usual girls didn't sit next to me.

Instead, the one who brought me over was.

Hey. Yesterday was tough for both of us, huh?

Wait, who are you?

It's me, it's me! Shitenno! Well, not exactly Shitenno!?

Oh! You scared me. I thought you were a mummy.

Isn't that treatment a bit harsh!? I'll cry!? Moooooommmmyyyyy!

Standing there was Shitenno, covered in bandages from head to toe.
