Chapter 83: Secret between girls

Chapter 83: Secret between girls

(Ryoto's pov)

After my story ended, all of us agreed to return to the classroom. The girls were so focused on talking that they didn't even notice us.

Karasuma cleared his throat to gather their attention. They turned to see our group standing and waiting for them to finish.

Irina: "Hey! We told you to-"

Before she could finish what she wanted to say, presumably to throw us out of the classroom again, Karasuma grabbed her by the face and lifted her up.

Tadaomi: "What do you think you are doing. Weren't you supposed to teach them English today?"

Karasuma said calmly.

Irina tried to say something and free herself, but she couldn't. Karasuma was too strong for her.

While the comedic duo was doing their usual routine, I noticed that the girls from my class looked at me strangely. Some of them tried to avoid eye contact with me with blush on their faces.

What is going on, and what did they talk about?

As I was thinking about it, Toka Yada approached me. She had an apologetic expression.

Toka: "Sorry Yuuki-kun, I couldn't stop them." Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m

What the hell happened here!? I turned to Lala, but she was behaving as usual. I don't get it.

Ryoto: "Why are you apologizing?"

Before she could inform me about the events that occurred, she was grabbed and dragged by other girls from our class.

Hinata: "Don't mind her, Yuuki-kun. She is just tired."

Hinano: "That's right, that's right."

...That was strange."

Lala the central figure of all of that. There wasn't any noticeable difference in her behavior. Does that mean that it didn't really happen? Lala is not someone who would hide her emotions too much. She would jump on me if she learned something and test her new knowledge immediately. She is also very curious, so she would ask to confirm her newly acquired knowledge.

It doesn't add up. Let's back up a little. I know that they talked about something embarrassing, and I was part of that story. Toka feels responsible for something as well, which I would assume was class feeding Lala unnecessary information. Still, Lala's behavior is saying otherwise. Rio also said that I'll find out later. I can't do anything about it, so I'll wait and see what will happen, and if it's a prank that she set up, I'll make some delicious meal made by me. Why? Because I was finally able to do THAT, Rio will be my first tester.

Karen: "You wasted all your brainpower and didn't conclude anything. I don't know if I should be impressed or disappointed."

'Be impressed on how disappointing I am.'

Karen: "You are n-"

She stopped herself from finishing this sentence. 'You are what? Knowing Karen, she won't tell me even if I pressed for answers, so I waited for her to speak again.

Karen: "Can we talk later? I want to tell you something and ask a few questions, too, but it'll take some time."

'...No problem. I'll let you know when I'm free.'

Karen: "Thanks..."

Later that day, we had PE. I, as usual, found a great place under a tree and relaxed there while others were training. Did I feel guilty? No, because I trained twice as hard after school ends. Besides, if I joined, it wouldn't be fair to others. I'm too strong and agile for my classmates even without using any other of my abilities.

Lala wanted to join and tried to convince me to train as well, but she accepted my excuse after some explanation. However, she still wanted to be part of a lesson, so Karasuma evaluated her abilities.

Lala had some experience with swordsmanship, so she applied it here. A knife is a short sword, after all, right? WRONG! Kinda. You could use a knife as a sword, but it wouldn't be as effective as one might think, but Lala is a genius. She adapted fast. There were times when she let slip of her strength and attacked Karasuma with more power than he expected. He must be very confused right now. Serious type confused is fun to watch.

Overall she was happy and had fun. As I talked with Lala during the short break, a new figure came out from the school building carrying a box and a few plastic bags.

Akira: "Hey there! My name's Akira Takaoka!! Starting today, I'll be working here to help out Karasuma! Nice to meet all of you in class E!"

Now, how should I play this out?
