How To Ruin A Love Comedy

Chapter 25: Not Hanazawa, Miyuki.

***

What do you imagine when you hear the name Yamaguchi?

For me, I imagined a sharp face, and very masculine eyes.

However, its not a name on the level of a main characters.

A supporting actor, or a side character would be perfect.

And I was looking at that side character Yamaguchi.

He sat on the roof, surrounded by tall metal fences all around.

He had a completely blank expression, so I couldnt tell what was on his mind.

He had a crazy body.

It probably took him at least 5 years to get to that level.

Around him, there were quite a bit of gangsters that were a part of the circle.

Among them, there was Takashi who looked at me with worry in his eyes, and Shamoyama, who was grinding his teeth.

When I casually walked up to Yamaguchi, the angry Shamoyama tried to block me.

But when Yamaguchi opened his mouth, he had to go back to his spot without even being able to do anything.

Matsuda Ken.

His voice was plain.

Thankfully his voice wasnt deep like mine.

I almost had to feel jealous.

Yes sir.

You want to quit the circle?

You told him properly. Well done Takashi.

I nodded and responded.

Thats right.

Why?

If I were to say nicely, Yamaguchi likes people who are determined, or if I were to say it negatively, people who dont know fear and act recklessly, saying they have some spine.

He also likes honest people.

So instead of thinking of some excuse, lets tell him straight up.

I thought it was childish how we pick fights with other academies. We arent highschoolers anymore.

At my words, the person who got angry wasnt Yamaguchi, but actually Shamoyama.

What did you say you motherfucker?

He walked from beside Yamaguchi towards me and held his fist out.

Looks like Im going to get beat up at any moment.

Yamaguchi stopped Shamoyama with a quiet voice.

Stop.

Yes, sunbae.

Its quite fun to watch him get bitched like that.

Are you going to leave our family?

Yamaguchi continued questioning me.

The hell you mean family is what Id like to say as I scoffed but lets be serious.

Yes sir. Id like to leave. I dont want to partake in these childish games anymore.

When I said that, I stared at Yamaguchi.

So that he can feel the sincerity of my words.

Could he understand my feelings?

His mouth which had been sealed shut for a while finally opened up.

You know what happens to quitters right?

I know very well.

Cutting off your pinky.

Just as the Yakuza did in the past, an old fashioned way to keep people shackled.

Do you mean cutting off my finger? Honestly speaking, theres probably a decent amount of people unable to quit just because of that rule, you know?

Is that so?

Yeah. I dont want to lose a finger either. So can you be satisfied with just beating the shit out of me instead?

Think about it Yamaguchi.

You also think this Yakuza play is childish.

But you cant quit because of all the affection, and responsibility you feel towards the circle members.

If theres anyone that would look at quitting the circle positively itd be you right?

So Ill help you out.

After today, the Superi circle is completely dissolved.

I dont know how youll be dealt with, but take it like a true gangster no matter what it is.

Hmm

Yamaguchi seemed to be deep in thought.

For some reason, I think hell say something beneficial to me.

You said lets end it after we beat you up as much as wed like?

Yes sir.

Then lets do that. However, you dont say anything about what you did in the circle to others.

Im good with that.

You understand my feelings, but you must also be worrying about the others in the circle.

Im satisfied with you just accepting my offer.

Su-Sunbae!

I heard Shamoyamas confused shout.

Along with the other extras within the circle

They must be confused that Yamaguchi accepted a first years proposal.

If it pisses you off that much, you can think about Yamaguchis personality and plan how youll convince him too.

Shamoyama.

Yes sir?

You go hit him.

At those words, Shamoyama smiled brightly.

That bastard wasnt actually mad, he just wanted to punch me.

Well I also wanted him to be the one to hit me so theres no complaints there

How much should I hit him?

Until I tell you to stop.

Alright.

The picture had been fully drawn.

Now I just have to get beat up.

You didnt listen to anything I said during the break either Know that you are fucking dead.

Shamoyama spoke as he slowly walked towards me.

I looked at him with disinterest.

Today will be different. I wont get hit while bowing like last

Bam!

My head spun around with a heavy sound.

I think my lips popped after one hit It hurts more than it did at the hideout.

Should I just curl up and let him hit me?

No. If I made up my mind, I should stick to it.

Then, Yamaguchi might stop Shamoyama.

I moved my head back, and spat out the blood from my mouth.

Then tried my best to smile widely.

So that my blood stained teeth will enrage Shamoyama more.

This crazy fucker

Smack!

As I expected, Shamoyama fell for my provocation and started hitting me with all his strength.

Bam! Whack!

Since I have to do club activities later, Ill avoid getting a concussion like last time.

Ill just get hit enough so that Shamoyama can feel that hes hitting me.

Was what I was thinking,

Pow!

When Shamoyama used Washabari, which was a name for some judo throw, I realized I was fucked.

Well Theres no way everything will always go as I expect.

But Im the main character arent I?

Being humilliated by a side character I know I started it, but its just too much.

Slam!

**

I wonder how many times Ive been hit.

I counted up to 30, but I lost count after that.

Ive been getting hit for quite a while, but my mind is still intact.

Its not like Shamoyamas punches are weak Is this the main character body buff?

This is not just a little, but very easily tolerable.

Except for my busted lip.

Haah Haaaah! This fucking bastard keeps blocking!

Shamoyama took deep breaths. Looks like hes slowly getting tired from hitting me.

When I glanced at Yamaguchi, looks like he was going to end this soon.

However, Takashi was faster than Yamaguchi.

You bitch! You motherfucker! Stop hitting him!

Looks like he couldnt bear to watch me getting hit anymore, and started running towards Shamoyama while swearing at him.

As Shamoyamas expression crumpled upon hearing the cursewords being thrown at him,

The door to the roof started making shaking noises.

Along with some rattling noises

I realized that the student council and the professors ran over here.

Miyuki probably told them when I didnt show up during break time.

Since our Miyuki is very kind.

Clack!

When everyone was stunned from shock, the door to the roof opened.

Then, students wearing a student council tag on their chests, and a bunch of professors poured out to the roof.

These bastards!

When the gym teacher with a similar build to Yamaguchi was getting ready to fight, he hestitated upon seeing me get up.

Are You okay?

I laughed weakly as a response, and swallowed the blood that kept pouring out of my busted lip as I picked up my phone and stared at Yamaguchi.

He nodded lightly.

Letting me know that I am no longer a part of the circle now.

Finally, I cleaned up all the shit Matsuda Ken created, and left that childish circle.

Even though they had nothing to with the real me, the feeling of freedom I felt now was crazy.

I did have to work really fucking hard.

I walked past the crowd and left the roof.

Some younger professor asked me if I needed help, but I said I was fine alone.

Only Miyuki can support me.

Anyways isnt it second period right now?

Even though there was class right now, the fact that so many professors and even the student council got involved means this incident is going to be a big one.

Im tired

My mind was fine, but my body was tired.

Most of the damage was in my arms that I was blocking with.

My face was hurting a little bit too.

I slowly made my way down the stairs, and just sat on the second floor corridor.

I just took deep breaths, trying to tell the people looking at me to go away with just my eyes,

Kyaaa!!

Miyuki who was runing up the stairs let out a scream upon finding me.

When she saw the blood on my cloths and my face, she covered her mouth with both hands.

A similar response to when I got beat up at that hideout.

I plugged my ears while frowning.

Why are you so loud Im gonna go deaf. Please be quiet

I wonder if my voice sounded fine?

Miyuki approached me slowly and spoke.

Ma-Matsuda-kun?

What.

Are you okay?

Im fine.

Theres blood all over your face and cloths

Its just a busted lip. Other parts of my body are fine. Wanna see?

Miyuki hurridly grabbed my wrist before I could get up.

Si-Sit down! Ill bring the nurse! Just a bit Wait just a bit..! Understand?

Then tried to go back down the stairs.

Dont go.

She stopped after hearing my voice and turned her head.

I smiled weakly, swallowed the blood in my mouth and tapped on the ground to my side.

Stay with me.

But the blood

Stay here with me.

.

She was quite flustered, but in the end she sat down beside me.

Then pulled out a napkin, and started wiping all the blood off my face.

I looked at her a spoke.

You called them didnt you? Those people.

Yeah. When Matsuda-kun didnt come back down even after 5 minutes I went to the professors office and told him.

What did you say?

That there were people causing trouble on the roof.

You did? Well done.

Did you think I would be able to quit after only 5 minutes?

I dont understand Matsuda-kun. Why are you trying to follow their rules? I get you are worried about me and Tetsuya being wrapped up in your problems But even still we can get them in trouble within the school

You said youd trust me today. But if you couldnt even wait 5 minutes That means you didnt trust me all that much huh?

If I just did nothing Matsuda-kun would be getting carried away. I trusted you but I was too worried

Whatever. Since it ended well, Ill let it go this time.

Miyuki whipped her head around.

It ended well?

Yeah. I left the circle. Since I just kept getting beat up and didnt fight back, maybe he thought of me positively and just let me leave the circle. Unlike you, I kept my promise.

What promise?

You told me to stop fighting. So I didnt fight. I wasnt go to fighting him to start with.

Miyuki pouted.

Her expression made me think she didnt know if she should cry or laugh.

After a while, when she finally spoke, it was just to reprehend me.

Who said for you to just get hit for 15 minutes without fighting back Even I wouldnt do that!

It was for 15 minutes?

Quite a long time.

Then you should have said that.

When I made a joke, Miyuki bit her lower lip.

Sorry

Youre sorry? Then wear a bunny girl outfit with fishnet stockings.

Or a nurse outfit.

Or a police officer outfit.

I could see Miyuki tearing up.

I guess she really was sorry that me listening to her led up to this.

The hand holding the napkin curled up into a fist.

The blood is gonna stain your hand.

I flicked away the napkin away from Miyukis grasp.

Yo.

Whatttt!

I did well right?

You did good You did good ok!

Her tone was just like that of a pissed off girlfriend making a fuss.

I laughed at her reaction, and spoke before she could frown.

From now on, Im gonna call you Miyuki.

Can I call you Miyuki?

Can I call you by something more friendly?

I didnt ask questions like that.

I spoke as if I was giving an order, just as I always would, in a jokingly manner.

Even still, she would be able to feel my real feelings.

Since I was always like this.

Miyuki also knew that I was always like this.

She looked at me in silence for a long time, then wiped the tear off her face with the back of her hand.

Then responded, sounding as if she was going to cry at any moment.

Do as you want Dummy

Should I be happy in this situation even though she swore at me?

I do feel good that she gave her consent.

I smiled brightly at Miyuki.

She turned around, and laughed.

Brush your teeth It looks funny

I guess the blood stained teeth kind of ruined the moment Its embarassing but who cares.

Causing problems without intending to,

Having problems saying their true feelings,

Doesnt understand how the other person feels,

And eventually, realizing how they feel about each other.

Isnt this youth? Isnt this what it means to be a love comedy?

Starting now, Im going to go through all the cliches in the school and grow our love.

As I improve my relationship with Renka, Ill have some skinshp with Miyuki here and there, slowly increasing the level.

Kids nowadays are quick with it.

Theres people all around that have sex just because their eyes met, so ofcourse I can do this while dating. (TL Note: The word used isnt date but more like The line between love and friendship. But idk if such a word even exists in english so.)
