Chapter 15.2: Me and Her II

Whoa! Your first name is unbelievable! So cool!

Ugh!?FWE

I wondered when she had taken out my student ID card, and Hyuga was right next to me, her eyes swirling as she raised her voice.

Return it to me, you idiot!

When I attempted to catch her, she lightly dodged and slipped away.

Your name is so striking that even the sparkling names of the day would be beaten by it. Can I call you by your first name from now on?

No!! Absolutely not!!

I gnashed my teeth while howling like a demon. Yeah, I was being serious.

HuhEven though its so cool!

Its not cool at all! People always say its not a good name! Its a name that doesnt do me any good! I hate it! I mean return that!!

Oops!

Hyuga was running away from my arms cheekily. As far as I knew, nobody was more talented at running away and having such sticky fingers than her. Unlike her appearance, she was always moving around for no reason at all. Yet, when satisfied, she would easily return it and apologize to me.

So why did she steal from me to begin with?

Heres your student ID card. Sorry, I took it without your permission.

You do you do things like this to your friends too?

No, I dont. If I did, they wouldnt like me.

Dont say that so brazenly.

You mean its okay for you to do stuff like this to me?

You know, you get mad at me, saying youll beat me up all the time, but youll forgive me and despite all that, you never beat me up.

HahTranslator: MadHatter

You were totally messing around with me. While on the subject, Hyuga turned away and let out an ehehe sound.

Youve got a lot of nerves messing with the upperclassmen, you little glasses-wearing prick, Im going to crush you.

Youre so foul-mouthed and scary!

In contrast to what Hyuga was saying, she didnt even feel that way. For some reason, Hyuga jumped up and down joyfully.

From that day on, she started showing up in front of me like a phantom after club activities, when I skipped class or was leaving school. It was most often when I was alone that she would pop up.Updated from novelbIn.(c)om

At unpredictable times, she appeared from behind me, right next to me, or even out of the shrubbery the other day.

Who the hell was this guy?

What did she want, what did she want me to do, and what was so enjoyable about chasing me around? She was so cryptic to the level that I seriously couldnt grasp her.

Despite the fact that she was a girl, she defiantly climbed the fence, pulled a caterpillar from the wall and presented it to me, mimicked a gorilla, unexpectedly began dancing, delivered one-liners, and didnt even freak out at the sight of a cockroach; instead, she ran after it.

Wasnt it normal people like her didnt exist?

Ever since Hyuga came in contact with me, she repeatedly did this. Whenever I encountered her, I was swept along and ended up hanging out with her because of her strange conduct while I didnt have any intention of associating with her since I didnt want to get into trouble with her.

On the exterior, she indeed had a more girlish appearance than those girls with their gaudy makeup.

On the inside, though, she was nothing like a girl.

And yet, she was not mannish either. She was an enigmatic creature.

Acting liberally, she delighted in everything. Rather than flouting school regulations or getting into trouble, she diligently attended her lessons and achieved high academic standing. So to speak, she was an honor student.

She was a tomboy at heart, nevertheless.

Every time I saw her in a class held in a different room or passing by during recess, she was always at the center of the class with a clear voice that always went straight through.

It was probably something I unconsciously uttered, which I deflected in an attempt to let it slide and pass over. Now, I was certain I meant those words.

Incredible. I didnt often acknowledge other people, but Hyuga was incredible. Did I really think so Yeah, that was right.

She stood in stark contrast to me, who was always on the watch for anything that might come my way and made it difficult for others around me to be close to me, and Hyuga, who was outgoing and popular and embraced everything.

The dexterous Hyuga who could handle everything without a hitch.

Without conflicts, everyone adored her. She always seemed to be having a good time.

Unlike me, who hid myself away in my shell, she was completely different from me.

She possessed a lot of things that I lacked.

A mass of fascination.

Even if I tried to be normal, I would never be like that. Yet she went on living her life that way. She was inexplicable, not being swayed by others, nonetheless, she was on a straight line.

I couldnt possibly imitate that. Perhaps that was why I genuinely thought she was incredible.

Oh, no way. Masa.

What?

Nishimura put his arm around my neck and pulled me close.

Could it be Youre in love with her?

Huh!?

Is it for real! Hey! Hakamada!

Are you in love with her!? Masa!!

Of course not!!

Hey, dont hide it!

Im not hiding anything!

For real! With a girl one grade below you!? Eh!!

Dont stir things up! Tanaka!

Sekihan! Somebody make sekihan!

Kinoshita! Do you want to get your dick thrown straight up in the air!!

Idiot! Youre not suitable for her! Ill take her first! Then Ill let you have a taste! Hehehe!!

You can jump down from the rooftop now, Nishimura!

The underclassmen below us spotted us and were staring up at the rooftop as we were making a lot of noise and getting into a mess. Oh, no. The gym teacher was sending us a stern glare.

Hold the canvas! The canvas!

In a panic, I held up the canvas that I had left on the floor and made an appeal to show that I was working on it. It was a rather shameless lie.

Ah

At that moment, my eyes locked with Hyugas who was on the ground. She put her hand over her mouth and giggled softly.

I signaled to her by waving the pencil I was holding in front of the idiots.

Then Hyuga grinned and ran to the other side of the schoolyard.

What was I doing?

I pulled my pencil back and felt embarrassed. There was no particular need for me to do that.

Fuu

She easily disrupted even my obstinate pace. Hyuga was terrifying.

But youd best hold off on pursuing that girl Kinoshita muttered as he watched Hyuga run away.
