Mission Start!!
Now I'm in my third year of high school. So far, the incidents I've encountered have only been minor things, from school brawls to thugs from other schools causing trouble, and so on. Well, that's the gist of it, nothing too extreme like what happened during the second-year camp. And I became friends with Ken after that unexpected event.
No one at my school knows my real name or Ken's yet. It seems Otome already understands my secret. The school bullies, those brutal and self-centered seniors, have already left. They often set traps to embarrass me and Ken. Fortunately, their traps were more like trap training from when I was in school before. If I cut off the start of the trap with bait or my sword, Ken was even crazier than me, using grenades and flashbangs. In our second year, they tried to set another trap. This time, they put glue on the staff chairs for the third-year graduation. But because I saw it, I switched the chairs, and they ended up getting stuck.
The beginning of this third year feels very relaxed for me. The atmosphere looks very peaceful and calm. However, Nanaka's fans are increasing, and she's rejected many of them. I feel sorry for those who 'confessed.' This time, I can enjoy my peace after Ken and I became friends following that Emily incident.
"Oi, Mr. Bushido. Long time no see," someone appeared behind me. "What's up, Kazuki? You miss me after only two weeks of vacation?" "Well, we're friends. It's been a long time since we saw friends during the holidays."
Tendoh Kazuki has been my classmate since my first year. He's quite friendly with everyone and is the school's soccer athlete. But unfortunately, he's not as popular as other players; he just has a love for the ball.
As I was about to enter the classroom, Otome and Kotori suddenly appeared beside me and called me to the Student Council room. I'm not part of the Student Council, so I can freely enter and exit their room. Of course, Otome and Kotori knew my real name and Ken's from the principal.
"What is it, Otome?" I asked Otome. "Hayabusa, Ken, can you two help us?" Otome said. "What help?" Ken also asked. "We're having two Summer Festivals soon before summer officially starts, and we want to hold them at school. So, would you two be willing to help maintain the festival atmosphere? Because we're both quite busy." "No problem," I answered easily. "Piece of cake," Ken said, snapping his fingers. "Thank goodness, you've saved us now," Kotori sighed in relief. "So, when do we start the festival?" "We're starting the festival this Friday," Kotori replied. "Okay, see you on Friday then." "Same here with Ken."
Finally, Ken and I left the Student Council room. Ken went downstairs to have breakfast because he hadn't had time to eat this morning. I went upstairs to lie down in the bright, warm air while keeping an eye on the school from the rooftop to observe the situation.
After a few hours, break time finally arrived. I headed downstairs to fill my stomach. Before reaching the ground floor, I saw another friend who seemed devastated. He was just looking down at the edge. His name is Higashi Joe. It looks like he just broke up or got rejected.
"Oi, Joe. What's wrong?" I approached the depressed Joe. "I got rejected..." Joe uttered in despair. "Huh?" I was dumbfounded. "NANAKA REJECTED ME!! MR. BUSHIDO, WHAT SHOULD I DO?!" Joe became even more distraught and started to have snot coming out of his nose. Yuck!! "Don't ask me, ask the Goddess of Love."
I left Joe, who had been rejected by Nanaka. Poor you, Joe. When I arrived at the cafeteria, OMG!! A crowd of people swarmed together to get food from the cafeteria. I had no choice but to push through wildly. Suddenly, Ken appeared beside me.
"Ah man, I'm late." "So what are you going to do?" "Let's use force like a Jedi." Ken imagined himself as a Jedi from the Star Wars movies. "Are you Anakin Skywalker?" "Yeah.., sort of." "You're not a Jedi, moron." I said in English.
As Ken and I were chatting about something completely unrelated, even branching into Star Wars, someone suddenly appeared next to Ken. A girl I'd never met before, she was from another class too.
"What's up? Ken, Hayabusa," the girl asked. "Oh, I just want to buy a bread, but ah... can you see that." Ken replied. "Don't worry, I can handle it," said the mysterious girl.
Then the mysterious girl walked towards the crowd of people in the cafeteria, and magically, a wide path opened up, like Moses parting the Red Sea. Amazing. Not long after, the mysterious girl brought back Ken's and my bread packages. But there was one strange thing: how did she know my name and Ken's real name? And an unpleasant aura immediately emanated from the other kids. I quickly ran away from that unpleasant aura.
Ken and I hid on the fifth floor, an open space filled with sunlight and a gentle breeze. This break was quite long, and the fifth floor was also quite empty today. Ken and I were relaxing, eating the bread the mysterious girl bought for us, and it was the same bread I usually buy at the cafeteria.
"Oi, Ken. Who was that just now?" I asked Ken. "Uh..., I remember her, she's from the art club. Her name is uh..., oh yeah, Setsuko Miharu," Ken recalled. Setsuko Miharu, huh. Hmm, I've also heard of her from Midori." I bit into my Soba pan (a French bread with noodles in the middle).
Okay, the mysterious girl's name was Setsuko Miharu. She's in class 3-4. She's also a member of the school's famous art club. She even won an award at last year's art exhibition.
After hearing Ken's explanation, I finished my lunch and went back down to class. Even though I'm just a school guard for the principal, I can't skip too many classes, or the principal will scold me like a hard rock death metal singer.
I ran to my classroom in a hurry. Suddenly, a girl appeared and bumped into me at the corner. We both fell to the floor. The most significant pain was on my side from falling. But my hand felt something soft.
"What's this? Why do I feel something soft?" I thought to myself.
Unconsciously, my hand had touched her chest. Silence fell for a moment. I saw her ribbon, indicating she was a second-year. Then she realized my hand had accidentally touched her chest.
"You, how long are you going to hold on, huh?" she said with an annoyed expression. "Uh..., HWAAAAAAA!!" I quickly removed my hand from her.
Her red face was already showing an annoyed expression and felt violated because of the incident. Her hand also started to slap me. "O-OI!! Wait!! It was just an accident!!" I started to get scared. "...," She held back her slap. "Besides, I didn't know there was someone in front of me, heading in my direction too." "...," She slightly lowered her hand. "But I never thought I'd be able to touch a woman's chest, WHOOPS!!" I blurted it out and covered my mouth. "You---," She started to get angry. "WAIT!! WAIT!! IT WAS AN ACCIDENT!! AN ACCIDENT!!" I tried to make her calm down. "Konnooo!! Sukebe Otokoooo!! (You pervert!!)" She was already getting angry. "AAAAAA!!" I started to get scared.
Finally, she successfully slapped me. Then the girl left angrily after slapping me. I got up, holding my slapped cheek. I went to the restroom and splashed water on my slapped face. It was incredibly hot and painful. If only I could apply an ice pack, it would feel better.
But I had never seen her from first grade until now; she was likely a new student here. What I remember was her long blonde hair, a cuter face than others, and... I don't want to talk about what just happened again.
The Real Mission: Saving Otome
Finally, dismissal began, and it was late afternoon. This time, Ken and I were guarding the school until it was completely empty. There was no more taking turns. The principal also agreed that Ken and I would work together like this.
Ken checked the ground floor and the second floor, and I guarded the third, fourth, and fifth floors. The principal also gave Ken and me a walkie-talkie. I observed the situation on the fourth and fifth floors. The fifth floor was extremely quiet, and the water tanks were also off. I looked outside; all clubs were off today, so the school was truly empty.
Then, after being on the fourth floor, I went down to the third floor. I didn't hear Nanaka singing; most likely, Nanaka had already gone home. All the rooms were empty when I peeked through the windows, only one room left that I hadn't checked yet, which was the Student Council room. As I was about to look, I suddenly heard the laughter of some guys whose voices sounded like delinquents.
"Turns out it's better to have the real person than just see a picture." "That's right, Otome-senpai is really hot." "STOP IT!! DON'T YOU KNOW I'M YOUR STUDENT COUNCIL PRESIDENT!?" Otome yelled, with a slight hint of fear in her voice. "Come on, senpai, we want you naked here with my friends."
Oh boy, this time the real mission has begun. In the Student Council room, it seemed Otome was being held captive by three delinquents. The easiest way was to call Ken to solve this mission. I started contacting Ken via walkie-talkie.
"Ken, hurry to the third floor, Student Council room. Code Red," I informed Ken. "What's wrong?" Ken replied. "It seems Otome is being held captive in the Student Council room by some delinquents, and they seem to be forcing Otome to undress." "Will be right there."
Mission Start!! Ken has been called. The Student Council room only has one door. When I pushed it, the door seemed to be blocked by the delinquents or locked. There was nothing I could do since I didn't have the key to the Student Council room, so I prepared my best technique to split the Student Council door with my sword.
As the door split and shattered, I entered the Student Council room and saw Otome wearing only her underwear, and I immediately shifted my gaze to the three delinquents who dared to strip Otome.
"YOU!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO OTOME!?" "DAMN IT!! MR. BUSHIDO IS HERE!!" "How dare you do something like this to Otome... I won't forgive you three...," I began to unsheathe my super sharp sword. "DAMN IT!! LET'S RUN!!" one of the juniors said. "YURUSANZO!! (I won't forgive you!!)"
As the three delinquents ran away, I replaced my sword with its Saya (scabbard) and slammed it into the delinquent running to my right, and to my left, I used a punch straight to his face. Unfortunately, one delinquent escaped through the door. Luckily, Ken was guarding it and shot sticky glue at that delinquent. I cut the ropes binding Otome's hands and gave my jacket to Otome because she was really only wearing her underwear.
"Otome, are you okay?" I held Otome's shoulder. "HUWAAA!! I WAS SO SCARED!!" Otome hugged me in fear. "Calm down, Otome, Mr. Gunslinger and I are still here." "Yo, Mr. Bushido. I got him!!" Ken dragged the person.
Then I told Ken to calm Otome down and look for her clothes that the delinquents had thrown away. They were just second-year juniors. Wow, how daring they were. I forcibly dragged the three of them to the guidance counselor's office. Fortunately, the teacher hadn't gone home before Ken and I did. The guidance counselor was quite nice to Ken and me, even though her face was very stern.
"Oh, Mr. Bushido. What's up?" the guidance counselor asked. "Sensei, I found these three juniors harassing Otome in the Student Council room." "WHAT!?" The guidance counselor was half-shocked. "They also took pictures of Otome in the changing room," I showed the photos from the juniors as evidence. "Thank you, Mr. Bushido. It must be tough being the indoor school guard." "Ah, not really."
Mission Complete. I waited outside the guidance counselor's office, reading a book and listening to the guidance counselor scolding the three junior delinquents. Not long after, Ken and Otome appeared, already in their uniforms. She returned my jacket to me, then Ken and Otome went into the guidance counselor's office, and it was clear Ken would beat them black and blue and publicly humiliate them by hanging a sign in Japanese that read, "I committed lewd acts with a Senior." They would only be released once they felt remorse (or were sufficiently humiliated).
Afterward, Ken, Otome, and I went down to the first floor to go home. Ken told me to escort Otome home, and fortunately, I knew where Otome lived. Otome's body was still trembling in fear.
"Otome, are you okay?" I started to speak. "I... I'm just a little scared." Otome's hands were still trembling. "(Sigh) You should forget this and not remember it again." "Um..." Otome only mumbled. "Do you need a bodyguard?" I asked Otome. "Eh?!" Otome was surprised. "If you're still scared, I can be your bodyguard if you want."
Otome just remained silent, looking down. I just walked and escorted Otome home. As soon as we arrived at Otome's house, I said goodbye to Otome and left her house. Before I got far from Otome's house, Otome suddenly called me.
"Hayabusa-kun!! Wait!!" Otome stopped me. "What is it, Otome?" I turned around. "Um... uh... th... thank you..." Otome thanked me. "You're welcome, Otome. You should rest quickly and clear your mind." "Um!! Thank you, Hayabusa!!" Otome thanked me and went into her house.
Alright, the victim finally returned home safely, and I can go home peacefully now. I walked home calmly. The mission was completed, and the atmosphere felt light and calm.
An Unexpected Night
I stopped by a store to buy some food for later tonight, as I haven't really developed my cooking skills. So, I was forced to buy a heated bento (lunchbox) to eat when I got home. As soon as I got home, I immediately showered, changed clothes, and ate the bento I had just bought. I looked at the bento; it had rice, karaage (boneless fried chicken), tamagoyaki (fried egg made sushi-sized), and yaki gyoza (fried dumplings).
After finishing my meal, I watched TV. There really wasn't anything interesting on this Wednesday. So, I finally decided to go out for a walk to relieve my boredom. This time, I decided to go to the mall by taxi.
As soon as I arrived at the mall, I walked around to see if there were any new items, but there were none at all. Suddenly, someone tapped me on the shoulder. When I turned around, it was Kotori. Kotori had met me once when I was out with Otome.
"Good evening, Hayabusa-kun." Kotori greeted me. "Ah, good evening, Kotori. Uh, where have you been? Why do you have a sports bag?" "I just finished high jump practice." "Oh, that's right. Kotori is a high jump athlete. I forgot." "Are you here alone?" "Yup, I'm here alone. Just messing around."
Then, without realizing it, my stomach and Kotori's stomach both growled loudly. And slowly, silence fell, and Kotori slowly started laughing because both our stomachs had growled. It was truly embarrassing.
Finally, Kotori and I looked for the nearest restaurant to fill our stomachs. And this eating place was my new favorite and regular spot at an okonomiyaki shop (a dish made from meat, egg yolk, shrimp, and raw vegetables, then grilled until brown and sprinkled with bonito flakes and mayonnaise – oh, it's making me hungry now!). And what I like about this place is the cheap price, only 1000 Yen for a medium size and only 1500 Yen for a jumbo. The owner of this shop also knows me very well; he used to be my teacher at my school in Kyoto.
"Oh, Hayabusa. Welcome." The owner greeted me. "Uncle, the usual for me," I took a seat with Kotori. "Okay, and for this young lady?" "Uh..., um..., I'll have the Jumbo Yakimeshi (Jumbo Fried Rice)." Kotori looked at the menu.
HE!? Jumbo Yakimeshi!? But that size is pretty much as big as a jumbo steamed bun, can she really finish it?! I feel full after only a quarter of a plate, like my stomach is about to explode. Not long after, my order and Kotori's order arrived. My order was just a medium Gyudon (beef mixed with onions) and ocha (tea), and Kotori ordered Jumbo Yakimeshi and Orange Juice. Just looking at the fried rice made me feel full already.
"Ittadakimasu!!" (Let's eat!!)
Finally, Kotori and I ate the food we had just ordered. When I had only a little left, Kotori had already finished the jumbo fried rice without a trace. I was shocked and couldn't believe it, and even the owner was shocked and couldn't believe it.
"Suge..." (Amazing...), I was shocked. "Oh My God...," The owner was also shocked. "What's wrong, Hayabusa-kun?" Kotori was confused. "No, nothing at all." I went back to continue eating.
Finally, after finishing, Kotori and I paid for the food we had bought. Then Kotori and I parted ways to go home. I walked home, finally completely full from eating the gyudon.
As I was nearing my house, I passed someone suspicious in front of Nanaka's house. When I approached from behind, it turned out to be Joe, who had been rejected by Nanaka earlier.
"What are you doing, Joe?" I tapped his shoulder. "
Then Joe started walking to the middle of the street and began to clear his throat and sing for Nanaka, hoping she would fall in love with him. He took a deep breath and started to sing. And even worse, his singing sounded like a cat in heat!!
Immediately, rather than being mistaken for a crazy person singing in the middle of the street, I hit him on the head with a nearby trash can until he passed out. Then I quickly took Joe to my friend's house and told him that Joe had been in a daze on the street. Done, even if it was a bit forced, but what could I do? I'm sorry, friend. Finally, I headed to my house and went home peacefully. As I was about to reach my house, Nanaka appeared from her window.
"Ah, Mr. Bushido. Good evening." Nanaka appeared from her room window. "Ah, good evening, Nanaka. What's up?" I looked at Nanaka from below. "I heard someone singing here earlier, who was it?" "Huh? Probably just a drunk person," I lied to Nanaka. "Maybe so, alright, see you tomorrow at school." "Ah, same to you, Nanaka."
I finally headed to my house, my eyes felt so heavy, my body felt so tired, but my stomach was still incredibly full. Howaahm~~ I can't fight off the sleepiness anymore. Oyasumi.
Third Year and the Corridor Incident
The morning sun was shining brightly, and birds were chirping. Wednesday was a very advantageous day because this Friday marked the beginning of the school's Summer Festival. I showered again, had breakfast, changed clothes, and brought my sword with me. Just as I left the house, Nanaka was already in front of my house.
"Nanaka?" I was surprised. "Let's go to school together, Mr. Bushido." Nanaka smiled at me.
This time, I walked to school with Nanaka the Idol. Even the other kids at my school were envious seeing me walk with Nanaka. I just tried to act cool and normal. Suddenly, Otome appeared in front of me and Nanaka.
"Ah, Otome-chan," Nanaka said. "Nanaka-san, Haya- Mr. Bushido. Good morning," Otome greeted Nanaka and me. "Good morning, Otome, are you alright now?" "Um, I'm fine now. Thank you, Mr. Bushido." "Um..., Otome-chan, what's wrong?" Nanaka asked. "Ah, she was pressured by some juniors yesterday because they didn't agree with her opinions," I lied (Again..., Forgive me, God.)
Finally, Nanaka, Otome, and I walked to school together. And at that moment, Kazuki appeared behind me, immediately putting me in a headlock.
"Yo, Mr. Bushido." "Ka..., Kazuki..., are you trying to kill me?" I was being choked. "Ah~~, don't be like that with a friend." Kazuki poked my chin. "Kazuki, Ore.. (I..) [grab] Chigaunda.. (Not..) [Prepare to throw as far as possible] YAOI!! (HOMO!!) [Throw with all my might]" I got annoyed and disgusted by Kazuki.
I got angry because he poked my chin like a homosexual. Then Otome and Nanaka started laughing at my silly antics. But I was relieved that it could calm Otome down. The bell had already rung, Otome and Nanaka started running to the school gate while I just walked towards the school.
Once inside the building, I walked to my classroom for Home Room Class (similar to attendance). After Home Room Class finished, I left the classroom to go to the Student Council room for a Student Council meeting. And I saw Ken in the principal's office with Otome. It seemed the principal had called Ken, probably about Otome and the sign put on the juniors' clothes that read, "I committed lewd acts with a senior." And it was definitely not our fault, it was those juniors' fault.
Before going to the Student Council room, I went to the restroom first. After I came out of the restroom, I met Otome with a pale and tired face. It seemed a fairly big conflict had occurred, like World War II.
"Otome, are you okay?" I started to ask. "I'm fine, it's just..., I'm just tired." Otome was weak. "Do you need to be escorted to the infirmary?" "No need, just resting is enough for me." "Even if you're the Student Council president, don't push yourself too hard." "Um, thank you," Otome left me.
When I turned to go to the classroom, I suddenly heard a loud thud, and when I looked, Otome had fallen to the floor and seemed to be sleep-deprived. Finally, I carried Otome and took her to the infirmary.
Finally, I put Otome on the bed, and the doctor said she was sleep-deprived and exhausted. Then the doctor left for a moment to the teachers' room, and I guarded this infirmary until the doctor returned to the room. I grabbed a chair, placed my sword beside me, and sat next to Otome while reading a book.
Then I looked at Otome again and continued reading my book. She was sleeping soundly. Most likely, she hadn't slept at all last night because of what happened yesterday. If only I had the power, I would erase that horrible memory forever. Not long after, Otome opened her eyes in surprise and immediately got up from her bed.
"Where is this?" Otome regained consciousness. "The infirmary, you fainted after talking to me." "I'm sorry, Hayabusa. I seem to have troubled you." "It's alright, it's my duty to help." "Actually, I'm still a bit scared because of what happened yesterday." "I know, trauma." "Um..." Otome fell silent. "Don't worry, Ken and I will protect you." "Hayabusa..., I..., I..." Otome looked down slightly.
Before Otome finished speaking, the doctor and Kotori arrived. Then the doctor told me to wait outside with Kotori while the doctor examined Otome. Then Kotori wanted to know what happened to Otome. So I told Kotori everything in full detail.
"Hmm, so that's why," Kotori nodded her head. "Yup, it seems Ken gave the school a chance for just one day." "Nah, They kicked out," Ken suddenly appeared by the wall. "Ken!? Since when did you get here!?" I was surprised. "Middle of the story, I arrived," Ken sat next to me, "Hey, you're a lucky man." "Lucky for what?" I was confused. "At the corridor, you 'touch it' right?" "Huh!?" I understood even less. "Blonde hair, cute face, and you touch her bo-" Ken started to describe her features, and I immediately covered his mouth.
Actually, I didn't want Kotori to hear about this. I also wanted to erase the incident from that collision in the hallway where I accidentally touched her soft, jelly-like chest... AAAAAAAAAARGH!! DAMN IT!! IT STILL HASN'T GONE AWAY!? AAAAAAAARGH!! FORGIVE ME, GOOOD!! IT'S BECAUSE OF THAT INCIDENT THAT IT CAN'T BE DELETED!! AAAAAARGH!!
That's enough for today, I'm trying to erase that delightful incident forever so I don't get labeled a 'Hentai'. I might even be called Mr. Hentai, it's absolutely disgusting.
