[SCENE V: The Honest Leader]
“Isn’t the school festival coming up next month?"
Kuramochi Asuka spoke up while she was nibbling her pocky beside Aki and Yuki. The three girls were together as usual and had their discussion about their daily school life. After all the craziness in her life, Yuki was able to socialize with her friends in an ordinary matter for a while before she was interrupted…
“What’s school festival like?”
Yuko popped up to join the conversation with the girls. He smirked energetically and it seemed another handsome behind him seemed to ask so innocently that they had to spoil him. They told him about the fun stuffs and tasty foods sold everywhere in school. Their class would have to come up with a theme and there were just so many of it. The wolf boy was interested in this so-called school festival and wanted to see how would it be like. It was obvious that non-humans wouldn’t be familiar with human entertaining events such as school events.
“School events eh? This sounds fun.”
“Of course! Some classes do haunted house, restaurant, café, and a romantic play as well! It is really fun~”
Yuki’s friends were still telling Yuko about how wondrous the school festival would be and it grabbed the dark elf’s attention to them. He approached the ladies and it seemed one particular theme grabbed his attention.
“Café eh? So the ladies would wear the maid outfit is it?”
“Of course, isn’t the point of it?”
Aki replied and it made Sae smirked with interest. That moment Yuki could feel a chill down her spine and realized what the dark elf was thinking. He smirked towards her and then the wolf boy realized it as well. Yuko was able to catch up with what Sae was thinking and he was giggling pervertly towards Yuki. The messy haired boy started to grin widely and giggle out loud. He was certainly expressive disregarding it’s his perversion.
“Ah~ It would be nice to see Yukirin and the girls in maid outfit!”
“Oh c’mon! You two would look ravishing in butler outfit! Kyah~ I would die to see that!”
“Oh we have to dress up too?”
“Of course! Many people are going to come for sure! I hope Matsui-sensei could dress up too! Kyah~ This is like a butler’s café now!”
Sae spoke up and then Asuka replied immediately. Since both Sae and Yuko were still students of this class, they would need to help everyone and it’s obvious that they would be chosen as a butler of the café. They’re just too gorgeous that it's a must. Asuka couldn’t stop praising the two boys that they would capture so many girls’ heart with that butler attire, and so that caught Yuko’s attention immediately.
“Ah~ now this sounds like fun~ hehe.”
“Are you in heat? Just want to be swarm by girls, don’t you?”
“Coming from a popular archery boy swarming by juniors and seniors. Don’t make me laugh.”
Both the wolf and dark elf glared at each other and somehow was having their usual dispute again in the classroom. Yuki couldn’t help but to sigh with how these two could just be so childish, but terrifying at the same time. She constantly reminded herself how these two were nonhumans, but sometimes they do act as if they were humans like everyone else.
-
In the next morning during homeroom, the class discussed about this school festival and what they should do. It was as everyone expected, a café. There would be boys and girls that would be working during the festival but obviously there would be shifts. All the girls voted for Sae and Yuko to be the butlers without further ado, and then they dragged Yuki into the mess as well. During the voting, they suggested Kashiwagi to be one of the maids and as a result…she was chosen to be part of it. She got completely mad at those two but they really seem to enjoy bully her.
“I didn’t want to do the maid thing! Ugh! Why you pick me!?”
“Are you nuts? You’ll be deadly gorgeous in those tiny little maid skirts~”
“Wouldn’t it be fun to try new things?”
Yuko and Sae seemed to come to an agreement pretty fast when it comes to making Yuki wearing in a cute sexy attire. The two boys start talking about the girls in their classroom. They were surely having a deep discussion regarding their sex appealing whether who would be a good mating partner. That was the only thing that those nonhuman boys could think of. The worse thing was that they were talking around Yuki without caring about her opinion at the slightest. Luckily that both Aki and Asuka went to go grab lunch at the cafeteria before coming back to the classroom.
“But I bet Yuki-chan will be the hottest~ She just looks…tasty~”
“Oi you carnivorous wolf, she’s NOT food! I do have to admit girls in our class are pretty and some are smart, such a good pool gene to add into dark elf’s clan.”
“Yuki-chan will still be my number one, such a nice body like that turns me on~”
That moment the Kashiwagi girl couldn’t help but to throw a heavy textbook right into Yuko’s face and knocked him backward onto the floor. He landed hard and grumbled in pain since it’s a hardcover after all.
“You big pervert! Is this the only thing you could think!?”
“O-Oww! That hurts a lot Yuki-chan~! Now I need a healing kiss from you~”
“In your dreams you wolf!!”
As time passed by, even for just two weeks, Yuki didn’t realize how she became close to both Sae and Yuko. At first she was scared and felt uneasy around them, but now she could even kick of punch them without fearing that they would use their supernatural powers to revenge back. Maybe it was for the fact that they want Yuki as the mother of their child and so they needed to do anything to impress her, even though it meant to become masochist.
“Hahaha, that in-heat wolf never learns his lesson.”
Sae leaned in closer to Yuki while he looked at her alluring in order to bewitch her with his appealing aura, but then what he received from his princess was a notebook slap right in front of his face. Even it wasn’t as hard as the one Yuko got, but a flexible slap on his face sure gave him a slight sting pain. The wolf boy couldn’t stop laughing at the dark elf as Kashiwagi rejected him too.
“Bwahahahahaha!!! Serves you right you playboy! REJECTED~!”
“Shut up you low class wolf. You’re far from reaching Yuki’s heart.”
“We’ll see, you’ll eat your crap back. I’ll make Yuki-chan fall head over heels in love with me, I swear with my pride!”
“Getting a little cocky aren’t you?”
Both of them started to have a fight once again. Yuki sighed and just shook her head with exhaustion. Luckily Jurina would always come to be with her every lunch time since she’s always worried about Yuki being with those pervert nonhuman boys that wanted Yuki’s body. Despite it’s 2 weeks since then, Jurina never let her guard down whenever they were around her.
“Oh hey c’mon
chief, stop with that grumpy look.”
“I have a name you wolf! It’s
Jurina! Matsui Jurina!”
“Chief is easier.”
Since Jurina is an archangel, which could be called chief angel, and thus gave Yuko a way to call younger Matsui in an interesting way. Yuko would always try to piss people around him he would either have a fight with Sae or with Jurina.
“Ugh, you wolves…how rude.”
“Hey chief, aren’t you just being uptight? Angels are just so like a ruler.”
“Oh shut up, this is to maintain the balance of the order.”
“Whatever you say chief~ ”
“Ugh! You damn wolf…!!”
“Jurina, just calm down…Yuko is always like that. Just ignore him.”
Yuki tried to calm her friend down, but Jurina was still annoyed with him. As both Aki and Asuka came back, everyone started their lunch and still have their little chitchat with each other. That was when Kashiwagi started to realize how things were quite lively than usual…their lunch group was getting bigger and noisier than usual.
“Heh…it seems they’re enjoying quite well eh?”
The handsome doctor stood by the door and watched Yuki and her friends enjoying their lunch. He only smirked and crossed his arms in front of his chest. That was when Mayu diverted his glance to his side to see a history teacher standing their watching things closely.
“…A duke vampire as a doctor, how irony.”
“Well at least I’m glad to have some sane mature adult around here.”
Mayu was referring to Ren and they had this tensed atmosphere between them. However, at least they didn’t plan to open a fight right here. They were currently on a deal that anyone that captured Yuki’s heart would have her without any condition. Despite the doctor made an opening that left a terrifying impression to Yuki, he seemed to be rather confident that he would win anyway.
“I don't like how you guys are treating Kashiwagi-sama as a prize for your silly game…”
“Silly? You say the extinction of our races is just a game? Heh, isn’t black tengu’s race is one of the top most endangered races right now?”
“…!?”
“Heh, of course I do heard a lot of rumors these days about your people. Wouldn’t it be you that would have the most motivation to take that kiddo as your mating partner?”
Ren glared at Mayu who was smirking evilly at him. He clutched his fist tightly and replied strongly back to the heartless vampire doctor. He couldn’t underestimate this duke or else he would fall into his game.
“…Even my race is dying, I won’t let it destroy my pride as a black tengu. I’ll protect Kashiwagi-sama no matter what—”
“—and by being a heroic protector, you will capture her heart. What a scheme you have, maybe I’m underestimating you…Headmaster.”
Mayu interrupted and scoffed with a smile. This doctor was surely a sadistic extrovert. His speech was heartless and pierced severely each time he threw in a knife. At least the tengu teacher held his dignity strongly and not moved by Mayu’s threat. It seemed his enemy did some research on his background and knew he’s the current headmaster of his race. After their cold war, the vampire couldn’t help but to giggle softly before he continued.
“Impressive, you manage to hold your ground against me. It’s as expected from a headmaster of the Black Tengu’s race. At least this will make the game interesting for me.”
He treated everything as a game, and Ren didn’t like the way Mayu was doing. The biggest threat to Yuki would be this merciless duke. The moment he decided to use force to take Kashiwagi, he doubt anyone would be able to stop him. But then Mayu suddenly sparked another topic to the teacher and seemed to be a little serious.
“If you’re this smart, I bet you realize another guest joining eh?”
“…”
“Heh, it seems you do. I won’t let anyone interfere with my game. If he does, I will dispose him.”
“I doubt he would. He’s not as assertive as you guys.”
Mayu looked back at Ren and seemed to learn something nice from how he replied back to him. The teacher seemed to be standing his ground for this mysterious guest that would be joining with them.
“So you knew who is this person. Another domestic race again huh? When shall you introduce him to us? I wouldn’t want to kill him your acquaintance.”
“…He’s strong, Watanabe-sensei. If you underestimated him, you might lose to him.”
“Hehehe…! Me? Losing? Aren’t you looking down too much on me?”
“I’m merely stating a truth. You could consider a friendly warning. He is strong.”
An intense atmosphere built between the two of them before Mayu decided to leave. It was about time the lunch break was over and he had to return to his clinic room. However, it made him wondering who was this person that was an acquaintance with this nonhuman that was a domestic in the human world like the black tengu race.
-
The next day, the 2nd half of the day was a free time allowing the students to dedicate to preparing for the school festival. The girls measured the boys and girls that were going to dress up as butlers and maids on the day. The boys and other girls helped gathering props to make a decent café. They needed to go book nice chairs and tables from the school’s office before others would’ve taken it. Everyone helped each other making decorations and it was such a busy day. Yuki had to run to another storage house close by the gym that was out of the building to get some few more things that her class needed.
“Hey Yukirin, want us to come to help you?”
“That’s alright! It’s just few little things.”
“I’ll go with her don’t worry.”
Sae volunteered and went with Yuki to the storage house. As they headed to the storage room together, Kashiwagi felt slightly awkward that it’s just the two of them alone right now. Sae could see that she was a little uneasy and then he just gave her a pat on the head.
“W-What?”
“Take it easy. I’m not going to do anything. I’m having more fun with preparing this school festival.”
“Oh, ah…ok. I guess it’s not something you guys have, right?”
“We have formal dark elf ceremonies and festivals, but for entertainment and interesting like this…it’s my first time. I look forward to this so-called school festival!”
Yuki looked at him and saw his energetic smile. Maybe that was the first time she saw that from him as he usually have that flirtatious appealing smile to impress ladies. However, he just looked like a happy boy that was looking forward to this fun festival like any other students would be. That moment, Yuki felt that despite Yuko and Sae are nonhumans they’re not that different from anyone of them, including herself.
“…You really do look forward to it.”
“Of course! It looks so darn fun! I wish that our clan has something fun like this~”
“Hehe, I see.”
“What are you laughing at? Is there something funny?”
“I didn’t expect you to have such a side like this. I could see…both Yuko and you really seem to enjoy it.”
He smiled softly and nodded with agreement. For once he agreed that both Yuko and him could cooperate with each other was because of this school festival. They didn’t want anything to ruin it and wanted everything to run smoothly. So as they arrived at this storage room they went to pick up some old bags that had clean nice curtains.
“Now we got what we want. Let’s go back.”
“Yea—”
That moment, Sae felt a chill down his spine and had a moment of pause. He turned to the entrance of the storage house…there was a lady wearing such a baggy casual clothing but her red hair and eyes were reflecting the light. That moment Sae grabbed the wooden pendant before it turned into a bow. He made sure he was standing in between Yuki and this mysterious enemy that approached them.
“At times like this… why did they choose to appear now…!?”
“Dark elf huh? The power to control woods. Retreat when you have a chance, coward.”
“How dare you insult my people…!”
“Sae—”
“It’s alright, I’ll handle this bitch.”
“Are you sure what you’re saying? Insolent fool.”
The girl smirked and then the moment she snapped, Yuki could see flames flickering from her finger. Just like the color of her hair and eyes…she started to see the flames surrounding the girl’s hand along with that huge victory smirk across her face.
“We came to bring you back to our clan, Goddess of Life.”
She ran in and coated her fist with flames, however it didn’t make Sae run away despite his element was in a huge disadvantage. Dark elves control wood and flames would burn it down easily. He formed an arrow with his power and shot it out immediately with further ado, but then she used her flame palm to grab the arrow without fear. She smirked and shattered the energy arrow instantly before she rushed in closer to throw a knee into his stomach.
“…!?”
“How pitiful for you to confront a race that dominates yours? Poor dark elves have no match for us, flame salamanders.”
“S-Sae!”
“Get back Yuki!”
Sae stood up to protect his princess before he charged in again and used his bow to smack the female salamander. She grabbed it so to turn it into bits and it exploded immediately. She used the wooden bow as a fuel to create a small explosion that gave Sae a burned wound.
“I told you, you couldn’t match yourself against us…such a weak race like yours wouldn’t have a match against—”
“Shut up already!!!”
He punched right into her face and caused her to fly away. Despite he’s vulnerable in close range, he wouldn’t lose in terms of physical strength to a female salamander. He panted and felt the burn on his skin. As for Yuki, she was completely helpless with what to do, as she couldn’t obviously fight like Ren, Yuko, and Jurina. She’s just a normal girl.
“You’re surely getting on my nerves dark elf!!”
She snapped and then she summoned more of her friends. Yuki could see more humanoid salamanders all over the storage house. They were hiding inside here the whole time, waiting for Yuki to be alone so that they could take her. Sae was already in a tight spot with just one salamander already…he would be completely screwed to confront a whole team of them here.
“Damn you sneaky salamanders…! Just no different from that stupid wolf…”
“Don’t include us in that dirty category, but that’s alright. We’ll do all it takes to secure our clan’s survival. For our beloved leader, we shall take you with us, goddess of life.”
“…I’m not going with you. I’m not!”
Yuki started to stand on her ground, confronting the monsters in front of her. Sae could see the courage within the girl’s eyes and she rushed to his side and tried to protect him. It’s something he wouldn’t expect a human girl to protect a prideful dark elf like him…he could feel that Yuki was even trembling, she was actually afraid of those merciless salamanders.
“Boss said to take you alive, but having some burns should be okay as long as we accomplish our mission—”
“Hey, hey, hey. That’s not nice to hurt a harmless girl.”
The salamanders paused and turned to the door where they saw this dark indigo haired boy with those light blue eyes. He was leaning on the edge of the door and seemed to be rather so calm with the situation. He walked in and then passed the salamander girl with the calm smile across his face.
“Call it off okay? School is still on and there are many harmless students around here. Maybe next time.”
“Who the hell are you? Don’t you dare make orders with fiercely race like us—”
“I’m not making an order, I’m making an offer. Let’s not create a havoc.”
“Shut up! I might as well just burn you and that dark elf here!!! Burn them!!”
The girl ordered her teammates as they gathered their fire to throw in fireballs at the mysterious boy. However, that didn’t make him stun at the slightest. A huge explosion echoed in the storage house and smoke was covering everything. Sae and Yuki were in shock and wondering what was happening with this man, but the dark elf had some sort of sense about this mysterious man…that he’s definitely a nonhuman too.
“Well…it’s not nice to attack someone without talking clearly yet. That’s pretty rude though.”
The moment the smoke went down, everyone including Yuki could see this liquid barrier covering the harmless boy. He ruffled his head and sighed before turning to the salamander lady.
“Shall we stop now? Flame salamanders…it’s not nice to create a chaos here. That is your 2nd warning.”
“Y-You…”
“Those powers…h-he must be—”
Sae realized who the boy was and was in shock. He was even wearing the school uniform too so he’s a student. He raised his hand up and then the water barrier turned into cold icy mist. That boy turned to the leader of the salamanders and gave her the last warning before he wouldn’t show any mercy to them.
“This is your 3rd warning. It’s best not to push over the limits, please do leave now. This is a storage room that the school keep many things, I can’t afford to let it be burned down.”
“…Guys, kill them.”
The lady didn’t take his warning and continued to attempt to kill the boy and Sae. As they gathered their power to execute a deadly strike to burn this place down into pieces, Yuki was scared but then Sae ruffled her head to calm her down.
“Don’t worry…we’ll be fine. I think.”
“W-What do you mean?”
“Because…he’s a water manipulator, he’s a water dragon.”
“…What??”
Yuki looked at him and couldn’t believe that he’s a water dragon. That moment the enemies were about to release their flames out, he snapped his finger. That was a moment that the temperature around them dropped down instantly. Salamanders’ arms were covered with ice in a blink of an instant and they couldn’t gather their flame to even warm up their body. The coldness around them was too low that not even a fire-elemental nonhuman could tolerate.
“It is as you said, you shouldn’t mess with someone that’s a race that dominates yours, am I right.”
The flame salamanders controlled flame and trumped over the dark elves that controlled wood. However they were no match against water dragons that controlled water and ice. It was a big slap across the salamanders’ faces and that was when the dragon boy gave his last warning.
“Leave now… unless you’re not scared of being drowned.”
“D-Dammit…! Retreat!!”
The naughty salamanders left the area immediately without further ado. It was just the three of them left and then the air around them slowly returned back to normal. That was when he walked towards Sae and Yuki, but then the dark elf didn’t let his guard down at all and created an energy arrow in his hand, at least he could throw at him as a weapon.
“Are you guys alright? Thank god I made it on time. You got burned didn’t you?”
“I know why you’re here…you guys would still be my enemies!”
“Maybe not today. It’s my job to make sure everything in school is in order.”
“W-What?”
Sae was confused with what the boy was saying, and that was when both Mayu and Ren came see the commotion that was happening. The doctor just tagged along to come see the fun while Ren tried to explain Sae that this student boy was not a threat to them. Jurina also came with the two teachers and she rushed in to Yuki’s side immediately with worries.
“Yukirin! Are you okay!?”
“I’m okay Jurina, thanks to Sae…he protected me.”
“…I see.”
Ren went to the student’s side and gave him a tap on his shoulder. He did save both Sae and Yuki while protecting this storage house. Thanks to his nondestructive powers, he was capable for such a task like this.
“Thanks for chasing them away, Yui.”
“That’s alright, it will be a problem if they burn this storage house at this time of the year when the school festival is coming up.”
“As expected from the president of the student council.”
Ren smiled softly and it caught Yuki’s attention. She saw that student council banner around his arm. It seemed another nonhuman candidate that appeared was from a student council this time. He approached to Sae and knelt down in front of him to attend his burned wounds. The dark elf got tensed up but then Ren told him that it would be fine.
“He can help clean your wounds. Let him do.”
Yui coated his hand with water and then enveloped the burned injuries that he had, and it didn’t gave him any sting feeling at all. He felt rather comfortable and then the wound started to heal up quickly.
“Its not that bad and it should get well soon. It shouldn’t hurt now.”
“…It doesn’t. Wow, but I would still need to heal—”
“Let me.”
Yuki shifted and so she could place her hands close to the wound. The green sparkling aura emitted from her hand and everyone could see his wound healed up instantly like a miracle. It’s as expected from the goddess of life, her healing power is phenomenal. It seemed it was everyone’s first time to witness her powers.
“Oi! What happened!? I could smell those salaman— huh?”
“Aren’t you too late, wolf kid?”
“I’m not a kid, you bloodsucker!”
Yuko argued back and then realized that the fight was over. He listened to the story from Yui instead and it seemed more races were after Yuki. As all the nonhumans all gathered here, that was when Ren decided to introduce his friendly acquaintance that was in this school for a long while. He’s the president of the student council, while he’s the prince of the Water Dragon race, Yokoyama Yui.
“Nice to meet you, I’m Yokoyama Yui, I heard and had been watch you guys for a while since you kept causing a commotion in school.”
Yuko and Sae realized that this was directing at the two of them and felt uneasy. Despite Mayu created one of the biggest chaos in school, he was not affected by Yui’s talk at the slightest. Then suddenly, Yuko spoke up asking that whether Yui was also after Yuki too or not.
“Are you aiming to get Yuki-chan as well, didn’t you?”
“Hmm… I guess you could say that. My race is quite endangered right now…but I did heard about your ‘game’ to capture Kashiwagi-san’s heart. Isn’t?”
“You bet it! So you better join the game or else…”
“Don’t worry, I’m in! I like a peaceful way rather than doing it forcefully like thos flame salamanders.”
Yui smiled and accepted the conditions of the game immediately without any further questions. It made both Yuko and Sae approved Yui for joining them in the competition. So it seemed, the president was in a year higher than Yuki and others so he would be their senior in school. Despite there was more nonhumans that came after Yuki, she wasn’t as disturbed as before anymore…maybe she realized that these guys weren’t so bad as she thought. They’re not that different from any normal human. As time passed by…she didn’t realize she’s opening her heart more to these nonhumans and maybe there might be a day that she would fall for one of them…
-//-//-
As Yuko was so busy with helping the girls carrying the heavy loads, he didn’t realize that both Sae and Yuki were gone from the room. The moment he realized, he went to ask one of the girls regarding their whereabouts.
“Hey, where did Yuki-chan go?”
“She went to the storage house with Sae to get more curtains.”
“With Sae? That playboy! I’m going to go help them!!”
“H-Huh? Oshima-kun??”
The wolf boy sprinted to catch up with Yuki and Sae. He wouldn’t let the dark elf take the change to approach their princess. However since he was in a rush he didn’t see the girl carrying some big loads turning at the corner. The moment he realized he couldn’t stop in time and crashed into her.
“W-Whoa!?”
~CRASH!~
“Owww…what was that??”
“Ah, ouch…”
Yuko ruffled his head and he saw this longhaired brunette in front of him. She seemed to be so fragile and looked so innocent like a baby. She ruffled her head with confusion and quickly apologized to the wolf boy for the mess.
“I’m sorry! I’m sorry! Are you hurt? But who are you?”
That was going so fast that it made Yuko confused with her. He ruffled his head and slowly got up before he extended his hand to her to help get her up on her feet. He introduced himself to her and apologized instead since it was his fault after all for being careless.
“It’s my fault. I’m sorry! I’m Oshima Yuko.”
“Ah, you’re the transferred student that is so popular.”
“You heard about me? Hehe! I know I’m popular!”
“I guess so, nice to meet you Oshima-san.”
She didn’t seem to care about Yuko’s appealing and just picked up the bunch of cloths that were piling on the floor. It made the wolf boy felt uneasy and had to help this poor girl despite he was in a rush. He sighed and helped carrying it instead since his pride wouldn’t let the girl carry such a big load like this.
“Let me help you. Where are the fucking guys when you need? Such pussies.”
“They’re not that bad, I volunteered to come get it. I didn’t know it’s this much.”
“Whatever, they’re such a loser. So I’ll give you a hand, lead the way.”
“It’s okay though, I can carry all of it.”
“My pride is not letting me be a loser. Lead the way.”
Yuko argued back and the longhaired girl didn’t have the choice but to let him do what he wanted. She nodded while Yuko carried most of the loads and headed to the room that was not that far from where they were, but he realized that she was from the senior class.
“You’re a senior? You don’t look like one.”
“I got a lot of that from people.”
“You really do look super airhead though.”
“I got a lot of that too.”
“You’re such a weird person!”
“I got a lot of that too. I think I’m weird.”
“Hahaha! I like that. You’re a very interesting human.”
“Interesting human?”
“Nothing!”
“Ah, you’re just weird too.”
“HAHAHAHA!!! I think so?”
(Yuko: Well I’m not human. I guess it makes me weird)She wasn’t affected by Yuko’s blunt talk and seemed to get along with him. They sure had a weird interesting talk despite they didn’t know each other before. The moment they arrived in the room, everyone was sure busy doing the haunted house. Yuko was dumbfounded and he looked around with surprise and excitement. However he just remembered that he had to catch up with Yuki and Sae. Time flew by so much without realizing it. However before he could leave, that longhaired girl came up to thank him for helping her.
“Oshima-san, thank you for helping me today, and nice to meet you.”
“Yuko is alright.”
“…Wait, you’re younger than me right?”
“I guess so, I’m your junior though!”
“Then
Yuko-chan it is. I like that name more, it sounds cute.”
“Yuko-chan? Cute?? Me?? Aren't you just so weird?”
"Haha~ it just sounds cute, so I'll call you like that."
That wasn’t something that Yuko expected, but for some reason he didn’t feel that bad when this weird airhead girl wanted to call him Yuko-chan. He gave her a shrug and gave his farewells to his senior, Haruna.
“I’ll see you later Kojima Haruna…Kojima Haruna…then it will be
Kojiharu-senpai! Since you gave me such a weird nickname, you get one too.”
“Haha! That doesn’t sound so bad. See you again Yuko-chan. Thanks for today.”
“No problem, if you need labor work again, I’m at your service Kojiharu-senpai. I better go now!”
He took off to go to the storage house where Yuki and Sae were, and that was when he sensed salamanders being active. He got so worried but then the scent just somehow disappeared. The moment he arrived was when everything ended. Sadly he wished he could take some action so he could kick those salamanders’ butts in order to impress Yuki in front of Sae. However, meeting with this airhead senior today did make his day in a way.
