CH 18

I'm the only one who knows that this beautiful girl, who is feared to be the worst delinquent in the school, is actually just a clumsy and lonely person ②

I took Naruka to the infirmary hurriedly because she had an emergency condition where she lost her waist strength. The school doctor said it would go away in a while, so I tried to return to the classroom immediately…..

“Uhh, wait….. don’t leave me…..”

“… yes, yes.”

She pleaded with me with tears in her eyes, so I had no choice but to skip class and accompany Naruka. I couldn’t help but put my hand on my forehead. Fortunately, it’s class time, so Hinako should be in the classroom. When she’s in class, Hinako is able to act like a perfect young lady, so it doesn’t matter if I’m not around.

“Itsuki. What happened to you after you were kicked out of my house?”

Naruka, who was sitting on the bed, asked me, and I answered.

“Everything was fine, my parent’s made up and the case was settled.”

“Oh, yeah…… That’s good to know.”

Narika looked relieved, but then quickly she glared at me sharply.

“But you could have at least called me. I was so worried about what happened to you after that, you know?”

“That’s…… my bad. But I didn’t have any of the contact information of Miyakojima family.”

“…… That’s true, too.”

Even if he had been able to contact her, it would have been difficult to talk to Naruka. My mother and I were ostracized by the Miyakojima family, so it was unlikely that she would have been able to get through to us.

“After all this time, I’m sorry about what I’ve done when I was a kid. I didn’t mean to take you out so carelessly…..”

“What are you apologizing for!”

Narika said in an impatient tone.

“I’m rather grateful to Itsuki! If I hadn’t gone out with Itsuki at that time…… I’m sure I would still be a coward.”

When she said that, I feel a little rewarded.

“You’re not a coward now?”

“Uh… no, I mean… I’m still training…” Naruka mumbled her words awkwardly.

If she had become a strong woman as she had declared, she would not have been carried to the infirmary in this way, with a weak waist.

“Well, Naruka’s father was a strict man. He doesn’t let you have a lot of freedom.”

“… No, I beat my father,” Naruka told me briefly.

“Did you win?”

“Oh. Kendo, judo, aikido, karate, you name it, I’ve won it. That was the condition for escaping the surveillance of the Miyakojima family. Thanks to that…… I’m mostly free now.”

“Ah, I see.”

As always, she is a very strong girl in a physical sense.

“But even if you’re allowed to go outside, it’s lonely if there’s no one next to you……”

Naruka instantly lost her energy and muttered as she looked down.

“Come to think of it, Naruka seems to have been misunderstood at the school.”

I remembered what Taisho and Asahi had told me. They said she was a biker gang member and a yakuza, but there was no way Naruka would do that.

“That’s right… The whole thing is a misunderstanding.”

“How can that be?”

When asked, Naruka let out a deep sigh.

“…… The Miyakojima family motto is ‘A healthy mind resides in a healthy body’. For this reason, I have been trained in all kinds of martial arts since I was a child.”

“… Naruka was doing kendo when we first met.”

“Yeah. The Miyakojima family is a martial arts family, so to speak.”

A family of martial artists is….. a very distinctive family. However, having been a guest in that house, I know that this is not an exaggeration. The Miyakojima family not only had a private dojo in their mansion but also ran a dojo next to the mansion. I remember that I could often hear the shouts of their students while I was staying there.

“I’m not sure if it’s because I come from a family like that or not, but I’m often thought of as a rowdy person. In addition to that, I’ll say this because it’s Itsuki… but I’m not good at making friends. When I stand in front of people, I’m really nervous. It makes my face tense, so it’s often misunderstood as a scary person. “

Naruka’s face is more on the beautiful side, and her eyes are very sharp. When Naruka gets nervous, I feel as if she is glaring at me.

“Well…… Naruka has always been like that. She has a lot of power, but when it comes to being with others, she cries easily and is timid about everything.”

“Well, I didn’t know you think that way…… I’m a little hurt.”

“But it’s true.”

“Ugh… you’re right.”

Naruka lets out a sigh.

I was going to make friends and have a good time at school. But I was so nervous that I couldn’t speak well, and when I tried to make eye contact with someone, they thought I was staring at them… Before I knew it, I was being called a delinquent and a yakuza… Ughhhhh!!”

That’s terrible. Bad luck invites bad luck.

“What should I do…? Hey, Itsuki. Please, help me…!!” With tears in her eyes, Naruka pleaded to me.

From her story, she is a too pitiful girl. If I could help, I would, but as I was thinking about it… I noticed my pockets were shaking.

“Oh, sorry. I have to go for a bit.”

I left the infirmary and took out my phone. As expected, it was Shizune-san.

“Itsuki-san, where are you now?”

“I’m sorry… A student had collapsed, and I was taking him to the infirmary.”

“Ah, I see. I was wondering what was going on because your location information with the young lady was out of sync though you were in class. If that’s the case, I’ll let you off.”

“Thank you.”

“Please return to class as soon as possible. It’s fine to help others, but don’t forget your duty as a caretaker.”

“Yes.”

I was expecting to be reprimanded, so the exchange was a bit anticlimactic for me. I mean… I also have a transmitter on?

Anyway, for now, let’s get back to the classroom as soon as possible as I was told. But before that, I’ll check Naruka’s condition one last time. When I opened the door of the infirmary, Naruka turned around to me.

“Hey, Itsuki.”

“What is it?”

“By the way, why is Itsuki at this school?”

…… Well. What should I do to deceive her? Naruka knows my family situation.
