I was scared of nothing.

Except for spider and Shiranami Chihiro.

I and Ichinose decided to keep our forced relationship in secret. But the next day I was woken up by the bell's ring.

When I opened the door. I met Ichinose and Chihiro was there.

"Ichinose? Chihiro?" 

Ichinose smiled awkwardly.

"You are a couple!" Chihiro said. "You have to go to the school together!"

"I don't think it----"

Chihiro looked at me. Her eyes-----it was like I looked into the abyss.

"Let's go, Ichinose," I told her.

We, therefore, walked to the school together, following by Chihiro.

"I know now why you don't want to go out with her. " I said. "When it's about love, that girl's so crazy."

"Don't insult her. She was cute...normally." Ichinose seemed to be not sure what she said.

Because of Chihiro's order. I had to take Ichinose to her class. We compromised and hadn't kiss as a goodbye. 

But I had to say;

"See you, sweetheart." 

"You too."

When I walked out of class B, I felt the vengeance eyes from somewhere.

I knew from Kushida that Ichinose was so popular. Maybe there were her fan clubs in class D, too. In that case, I had to prevent my class from knowing about my relationship with Ichinose.

There was only Horikita in the class when I reached there.

"Good morning. Horikita." I greeted her. 

"Good morning," Horikita said. "So Sudo's stuff ended?"

"I think so, we just waited until the next Tuesday and everything was be fixed." 

"Is that so? I think we should find a way to fix Sudo's personality too. That will be the permanent solution."

Horikita's opinion was right. But now, I was too tired to think of anything. So I just shrugged. In a moment, our classmate walked into the room.

"Yo! Ayanokouji!" Yamauchi yelled when he saw me. "Do you want to gamble?"

"What gambling?" I asked. "Are you try to guess the woman's breast size again?" 

Maybe I said it too loud. The girls looked at Yamauchi with disgust.

Yamauchi didn't realize it.

"Why am I so popular today? All girls look at me!" He said. "Anyway. We bet that how is punishment the class C will get!"

"What do you mean?" I raised my eyes brown.

"Doctor! Come on!" He called Doctor.

Doctor ran into me and showed me the tablet. On the screen, it showed the punishment list.

Expelled.

Suspend > 3 month

Suspend 1-3 month

Suspend <1 month

"Here, you can bet anything if you want, sir." Doctor said. "If you can specify that punishment, like 1 week 3 days. You will get more payoff."

"What a cruel. " I said. "Can you bet with someone's destiny?"

"Oi those sons of a bitch tried to impute me. I haven't care about their life." Sudo said.

I sighed. I would play for fun once.

"Nothing. " I said.

"What?" Yamauchi flinched. "You won't bet?"

"I bet nothing. " I said. "They won't get any punishment."

"Impossible!" Sudo shouted.

Doctor nodded. "Yes, sir. They won't survive from the hell, I'm sure."

"I told you, the risk was the best part of the gamble. " 

I didn't want to play it seriously from begin. If I lost, I would consider it as another charity.

"If you want to lose then." Yamauchi shrugged.

"Oh, why you are a dealer today? Where is Ike?" Ike was usually the one who started gambling.

"He said he smell something from class C. I don't know what he talks about."

But I knew what he talk about.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I was walking to the restaurant when Chihiro pushed me to the wall.

"W--What the hell, Chihiro?"

"You have to have lunch with Ichinose, your girlfriend!"

"What!? This's in the restaurant, everyone will see----"

Chihiro gave me a scary stared. The eyes of the murderer.

"Yes, ma'am."

Why does the girl always threaten me? and why did I let myself be oppressed by these girls?

Maybe I want it.

Maybe I need it.

Cursed you! Kaxxa's "Queen and Slave" folder. You made me being a devil.

Chihiro told me to wait for Ichinose at the table in the side of the restaurant. I looked around and didn't saw any of my classmates there. I sighed with relief.

"Yaho, Ayanokouji-Kun!!" Ichinose called me from far. I waved at her.

When she reached the table with the ramen. I told her.

"Today, I want to eat on the floor. Are you okay with that?"

Ichinose looked confused but still accept it. I slipped from the chair and squatted on the floor, Ichinose did the same.

"Are you doing it for any reason?" She asked me.

"Nothing. I just want to feel the power of mother earth while I'm eating." I joked but my monotone voice made it feel like I was talking about something very serious.

"Sorry, I don't want anyone to saw us," I told her the truth. That's the reason why I tried to hide under the table.

Suddenly, Ichinose looked like almost crying.

"W--what's wrong, Ichinose!?" 

"Nothing---" She whined. "I--I just realized that I'm not good enough for Ayanokouji-Kun. So you feel ashamed that you are dating me."

Oi, why I felt like some jerk out there? 

"No way! You're so good. I just don't want other guys to envy me! You're the one who will feel ashamed dating me."

Then, Ichinose giggled. She smiled cunningly.

"Oi, you trick me?" I asked her.

"Yes, you're easy to deceive, Ayanokouji-Kun." She laughed and ate her ramen.

"But, Ayanokouji-Kun, There is nothing shame dating with you. You're hot in your class, you know?"

"Nah, I'm hot. But not that hot. The real one was Hirata. He is the best man in my class. He's smart, athletic, kind, and handsome. If I was a girl, that Karuizawa would never get him." 

Ichinose looked at me with confusion.

"Eh----I don't expect that you're---"

"What!? I'm joking." 

"Really, because you look so serious."

"Nah, I am a humorous guy, you know?"

Ichinose laughed. "That's the best joke ever."

Ah, my tears, it pained.

At that moment. I saw Mori and Sato walked in our direction. I flinched. Those two girls crushed on me. If they saw me date with Ichinose, it would be doom.

"Oh, I was the stomachache," Ichinose said. "I will go to the toiler for a while."

She stood up and walked to the toilet.

Ayanolucky!!

"Oh, Ayanokouji-Kun. Why do you sit on the ground?" Mori who reached me asked.

I stood up and said;

"How are you, Mori, Sato? I dropped my contact lens, so I tried to find it."

"Oh, Have you found it yet?" Sato asked me worriedly.

"Yes, I have. Don't worry." I replied.

"Do you sit here alone?" Mori asked.

"Yes. I didn't sit with my fake girlfriend who is from another class and very popular because the psychopath ship trash forced me."

Mori raised her eyebrows. "Why it's so specific?"

"What about the foods on the floor?" Sato asked and pointed to my food and Ichinose's food laid down on the floor.

"Oh, that is Ike's and Yamauchi's, when they're hungry, they will crawl to eat."

Sato and Mori looked at each other eyes.

"If you eat alone, can we eat with you?" Sato asked.

I flinched. Wait, why I'm acting like the two-timer guys who tried to keep their secret?

"I don't think it's a good idea. Yamauchi and Ike are very fierce. If strangers came into their habitat, they will bark or bite. They haven't been injected rabies yet."

"Don't worry, I am good at dealing with the wild creature!" Mori said. "My mother is a zookeeper!"

Ah. I considered them fierce pets. But this girl considered them as wild creatures? Too harsh.

I saw Ichinose walked out of the toilet, then she handed on her stomach and ran into the toilet again.

"Hello! Ayanokouji-Dono!" I heard some familiar sounds.

Doctor walked to my table.

"D--Doctor! How are you!?"

"Good, sir. You're eating alone. Can I eat with you today?"

Shit! There was one more uninvited guest. I knew Doctor didn't want to eat with me. He saw Mori, so he wanted to eat with her. But please, Stop being simp once.

"Oh! Sato-San, I forgot Karuizawa-San asked us to have lunch with her today!" Mori suddenly said.

"What? She didn't---"

Mori laughed.

"Ara Ara. Sato-San is so forgetful. Come on, don't bother the boy time!"

She dragged Sato and ran away from my desk as fast as she can.

"I still don't remember----" Sato mumbled.

Yes, you didn't remember because it wasn't real. Mori lied because she didn't want to have lunch with Doctor. I saw the disgust on her face for a second.

"Are you okay, Doc---"

Doctor almost cried.

I sighed and patted his back.

"Come on, there are plenty of girls in the sea. You'll find someone. Don't cry, Doc."

"Thank you, Marty---I mean Ayanokouji-Dono."

I saw Ichinose walked out of the toilet.

"You know what. The wise man said food is better than a girl, you know why?"

"Why?"

"I don't know why too, that's why I ask you. The point is you can fix your heart with delicious food. I will give you these foods."

I took the food from the floor and handed it to Doctor.

"Thank you, Ayanokouji-Dono. You're my best friend!"

He didn't have many friends.

"Can I call you Kitotaka-Dono, sir?"

"Call me whatever you want. Doc, I have to go now, bye."

I walked toward Ichinose and said.

"Ichinose, let's go to the rooftop!"

"Rooftop? Why?"

"I want to take some breast---I mean breath."

"I haven't eaten anything yet!"

"You can eat me if you want."

I grabbed her hand and ran to the rooftop

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The wind blew Ichinose's hair and made it fluttered. Ichinose closed her eyes and accepted the wind's kiss. My girlfriend was so beautiful under the noon sky.

It was weird for referring to someone as my girlfriend.

"Ayanokouji-Kun is right. The rooftop is so great."

Ichinose said.

"Do you ever come to the rooftop?" I asked her.

"Nope. In Manga, the rooftop was only for the lonely guys, except in 100 girlfriends who really, really, really, really love you. In that Manga, the rooftop was for the chad."

"I didn't expect you're so otaku like this."

"Ha Ha, it's me, Ayanokouji-Kun, please try to get used to it. " Ichinose looked up to the sky. "The Manga helped me through my childhood. Back then, Manga was everything I have."

I understood her. When I was in White Room, I didn't have any hobbies. Kaxxxa always played with me. He was everything for me back then, my friend, my brother, my teacher. Maybe he was my dad too. That man never acted like the father.

"Do you know, Ayanokouji-Kun?" Ichinose said. "I want to be in the student council because I heard our president was otaku too!"

"Really? Horikita Manabu?" Oh, that was unexpected.

"Yes. Nagumo-Senpai told me the president Horikita was otaku. His favorite anime was Oreimo, Eromanga-Sensei, and The irregular at the magic high school. He must be the light-novel guy!"

"I don't think he likes it because it's from light novels."

I thought it depended on the content.

"Maybe, you're right. Nagumo-Senpai said the president said something about Yosuga no Sora too."

Yes, it depended on the content.

Ichinose looked so worried when she talked about the student council.

"What's wrong, Ichinose?"

"I afraid, Ayanokouji-Kun. " She said. "I really want to be in the student council, but I am afraid of the president."

"What's wrong with him? Or it's about what you saw that night?"

The first day that I met her.

"Yesterday, I went to the council's room to apply. But when I reached the room, I heard something from inside----

'President---are the man whore!!' 

Then, the door was opened. Tachibana-Sensei, the secretory, ran out from the room crying. 

The president walked following her and screamed.

'Wait! Tachibana! It's just a joke. The truth is I like the black panties!!!!!!!'

He collapsed to the ground and wailed with pain!

'I like the black panties! Do you hear me? I like the black panties!!!'

I was very scared. I thought he was a decent person. I was very disappointed.

'Animal.' I mumbled.

The president saw me. He stood up and walked toward me with a scary face.

'I-It's not what're you thinking, Ichinose.'

'I-I'm not wearing the black panties, so don't attack me!' I cried and ran away.

That's what is it"

Ichinose finished her story.

Horikita, what kind of creature your Onii-Chan was?

"But the truth is---" Ichinose said. "That day, I was wearing the black lace panties. I was just so scared---what're you doing, Ayanokouji-Kun?"

"FIghting with my imagination."

Karmesumichajara Veramanisikhajarapathangsamathiyami. No horny, No horny. I prayed.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

That evening, Chihiro waited in front of my classroom to ambush me. Ayanoluckily, I saw her first. So I escaped by the window. I jumped and landed on the trampoline that someone set on the ground.

I bounced to the special building so I decided to go there again.

I walked to the third floor, the floor that Sudo's case happened. Somehow, I liked the sight up there. The glass wall was in the west. So when the evening came, you could see the sun dawn here.

But when I reached that wall. There was someone before me.

She was the girl with very figures. She was in the student's suit without the jacket. Her pink hair shined under the last shine of the sun. Her face was cute but mixed with the lonely feeling.

She took her camera off and selfies herself. Her smile was shiny. The lonely feelings disappeared from her face.

I felt like I saw her before.

"Sakura?" I called her.

That girl flinched and looked at me. Her face turned red, her camera dropped from her hand. I ran and grabbed it before it smashed the floor.

"Here, are you Sakura from class D?"

The girl took her notebook off and wrote on that, then, show me the words.

No, Ayanokouji-Kun. I ain't Sakura Airi.

"I haven't told you my name or Sakura's first name yet."

Sakura flinched again. She tried to run away but I grabbed her wrist.

"Slow down. Why're you so scared? We're friends, aren't we?"

Yes, but I don't want you to see me in this look.

"Why?" I looked at her face. "You're so pretty in this look."

Sakura blushed. She looked into my eyes.

For a moment, she nodded.

If you said so. Why can you remember me?

"Hey, you just took of your glass. You're not like Superman or something." I said. "Why're you here, Sakura?"

She showed me her camera.

I like taking a photo.

"Really. that's great. What kind of photo do you take?"

 The landscape, portrait, myself.

The boys went crazy when they saw me. That's why I tried to find quiet places for myself.

"That's why you here? There aren't many people in the special building---except that day."

Sakura smiled. The bright smile.

That's a reason. But there is another reason.

She pointed to the glass wall. I looked through it.

The sun was falling behind Tokyo's buildings. The orange light paints the skyscrapers and the school's land until it became gold. The birds went back home. The moon started his work. The cloud looked like someone put the white and orange together then painted it on the sky.

It was liked Monet's painting.

"Beautiful," I whispered.

Sakura wrote down the notebook.

Right? I came here every day.

Sakura suddenly flinched. Maybe she realized that she just revealed she came here every day and came that day too.

"Don't worry. You don't need to be the witness. We got 18 witnesses. It'll be great if we get another one. But if you don't want, there is no need to force yourself." I told her.

Sakura nodded and lowered her head like thinking something.

We stayed in silence for a while. Just looking at nature's painting. 

Then, Sakura wrote something in her notebook.

I want to take your picture.

I raised my eyebrows. "Why?"

I just want to do it. Is it bothering you?

"No, not at all. Take my picture if you want."

Sakura smiled with happiness. She aimed her camera at me.

But she still didn't press the shutter.

Ayanokouji-Kun. Can you smile?

"I told you I can't move my face's muscle" 

Oh, I'm sorry

Sakura thought for a moment. She sat down and took my picture from the worm's eye view. She told me to upper my face a bit.

Sakura told me;

In this way, the shadow from the sun will make it looked like you were smiling.

I looked at Sakura's camera. My photo was there.

And in that picture, I was smiling.

"Thank you, Sakura. " I whispered.

Author's Note: Does anyone want Teasing Master Horikita-San or Don't bully me, Karuizawa-San?

Maybe Tachibana-San wants to be confessed: Love is war.

Also Sorry for my ugly drawing, I drew it with my finger.
