Volume 9, Chapter 2: “A Changing Relationship” Part 3

Roughly two hours after that. The girls kept chatting and Keisei kept studying.

I’d join Airi and Haruka’s conversation from time to time while fiddling with my phone.

Haruka’s phone, which she had placed on the table, then vibrated.

“Ahh, it’s from Miyachi.”

Haruka touched the screen and answered the call on speaker.

“Done with club activities?”

“Sorry, looks like I’ll be a bit late.”

It was a call from Akito, speaking in a slightly nervous tone, informing us that he’d be running late.

“Hmm? Could it be overtime club practice?”

“No… Looks like trouble’s brewing.”

“What trouble? Give me a bit more detail here.”

“Class A and Class B are quarreling. Worst case scenario, I have to be there to stop them if a fight breaks out.”

Doesn’t sound like Akito himself is involved though.

But Class A and Class B?

I recalled the faces of Class B’s main members I spotted earlier. But I wonder if Ichinose would really allow such careless actions that could escalate into a fight.

“You should just let them be. It’s got nothing to do with our class.”

“Could be us next, no?”

After saying that, Akito ended the call. Akito’s a man of few words but sometimes he can be surprisingly passionate like when he invited Ryuuen, who no one wanted to get involved with, into his group during the training camp.

“I wonder who’s quarreling…?”

Airi asked. Perhaps she’s curious.

“It’s usually always that class stirring up trouble.”

Of course, they’re talking about Ryuuen’s class that’s now fallen to Class D.

“Now that you mention it, that’s right.”

The two of them tilted their heads at the unexpected confrontation between Class A and Class B.

“Hey Kiyopon, Airi. Why don’t we go take a look at Miyachi?.”

“B-But wouldn’t that be dangerous?”

“I suppose so. But maybe even our class might get dragged into it if provoked.”

Haruka answered teasingly. But Airi shrunk back as though frightened.

“It’s alright. If push comes to shove I’m sure Miyachi will do something about it, no? Apparently, he used to be quite bad himself in the past too.”

“B-bad? Really?”

“I just heard it from him though.”

Perhaps the reason why he wasn’t afraid to deal with someone like Ryuuen is that he’s rather confident in his own skills.

“Well if Airi gets into a pinch, Kiyopon will save her. Right?”

“…I’ll do my best. But I’d rather not get into a fight.”

“Ahahaha. It’ll be fine. Violence usually doesn’t break out at this school. I think.”

Because there had been several such cases in the past, Haruka trailed off at the end there.

But since there’s no reason for us to not go looking for Akito, we decided to do just that.
