Chapter 12 - The Goddess Assault

Even after class, the piercing looks and voices seemed to be saying things like“What’s with that guy…?” or “Why is Takanishi with…?”

“Hah…”

“What’s wrong? How can you sigh when you’ve been called out by the woman of all men’s dreams?”

Grinning, Akito approaches me, and so I take my stress out on him by poking him in the head.

It was good that I hurried to my next class after that, because my misunderstanding classmates had started buzzing right after class was over. Some of them had even glared at me as if they wanted to shoot me dead.

“Damn that… she needs to think about her influence a little more…”

“That’s what you get for not listening to me before. You didn’t heed my advice and went to her house without regard for the consequences.”

When you put it that way, the fault lies with me… No, that’s not right.

“Well, all you have to do is go home.”

“That’s why I feel so heavy…”

Unlike break, it has no sign of ending. There’s still a long time before it does.

The other person is the same as usual, I can’t really feel the difference.

Akito can’t stop grinning. This guy is having too much fun with people’s misfortune…

“As one would expect, they’re really quick to catch up on things around here.”

“Well, that’s one of the few things that helps.”

The people who gather around Aisa are the main people in her class. They are the ones who can gather information about my visit to Aisa’s house and the reason for it, even if they don’t hear it directly from herself.

So, I’ve been spending my time as usual. I was very grateful for that, because it would have affected my school life if they had become hostile to me.

“Well, for every good thing that’s happened to you, at least you’ve suffered a little.”

“Kouki-niiiiiiiiiiii!”

Akito’s joyful voice was drowned out by the unexpected intruder’s voice.

There was no time to feel relieved. At the worst possible time, the worst possible intruder came.

“Manami?”

Aisa reacts faster than I do. She’s closer to the door than I am as I’m at the window.

“Oh, Onee-chan! Are you done with homeroom yet?

“Not yet. Go wait outside for a minute.”

“Okay. Kouki-nii! I’ll see you later!”

Manami waves at me and leaves through the door with a buzz.

My classmates are alternately looking at the door and at me.

When the stares and whispers had grown to an unprecedented volume, the homeroom teacher arrived and started class.

“This sucks…”

Akito, who was still enjoying himself, laughed and patted me on the shoulder as I hung my head in dismay.

TL Note: Yeah. I know. Short Chapter. Mhm. Definitely that’s all. I-It’s not like I forgot about this series for a whole month or anything, baka!
