Chapter 9: To School
Chapter 9: To School
After that, I left the house with Rinke, and of course, I had to remember to lock the door.
Our house is close enough to the school that we dont need to take the train to get there.
However, it takes about forty minutes to walk there, so I always go by bike.
Onii-chan, Ill ride at the back again today.
Ah, yeah, sure
Hmm? Whats wrong?
I never thought Id see the day when Id be pedaling a bike with a girl on the back.
Well, shes a girl, but shes my little sister.
And I dont even know if its legal.
There are often depictions of two people riding on the same bicycle in the world of romantic comedy manga and light novels, and in those worlds, there are probably no legal restrictions.
Yeah, Ill take that as a yes.
This world of ojojama probably has no legal restrictions either.
Well Rinke, is it fine? Are you on it properly?
Yeah, Im fine
All right, lets go!
At the start its heavier and more painful than riding alone, but once youre moving, there doesnt seem to be any problem.
Its difficult to start and stop every time theres a traffic light, but its a piece of cake when you consider that its for such a cute little sister.
Then I peddled straight to the school for about ten minutes and arrived at my usual spot.
Well, its just a usual place for Tsukasa Hisamura in this world, Ive never been here before.
I am supposed to drop Rinke off a little bit away from the school.
This is why Rinke is always rushing me to get there early, because if I dont leave early, she is going to be late.
Well, thanks, Onii-chan.
As I always say, I can bring you to school if you want. Im not tired at all.
Its fine, Ill walk from here on, you go ahead with the bike.
I guess she doesnt want people to know that she rides a bike to school with her brother.
Um, okay. But lets go to school together once in a while. Its more fun that way, right?
Sometimes I meet friends and talk to them as we walk.
I-I see
Thats right, if you ride a bike to school, you wont have the experience of youth, such as walking to school side by side with your friends.
I used to walk from the station in my previous world, so I know the joy of bumping into friends and then going to school.
Maybe I should try walking to school in this world too.
But its a long way, and Ive got Rinke .
We-well, I guess its ok, sometimes.
I think she was worried since I looked a little depressed, but Rinke said that to me while looking away shyly.
Thank you, Rinke
I was so happy that I patted Rinkes head again
Hey, Ba-Baka! Dont pat my head like that!
Im sorry. Ill be going first, Rinke. Dont be late.
I stepped on the bicycle pedals before she hit my chest again.
Ah.Onii-chan BAKA!
When I heard such a voice, I didnt feel angry because the way she called me Baka was so cute.[TLN: Bloody masochist]
After riding on my bike for a few more minutes, I found someone I knew walking beside me.
I mean, I know him, but that was through.
Hey, Yuichi!
Hmm? Oh, Tsukasa.
It was Yuichi Shigemoto, the protagonist of the manga, My childhood friend, Ojousama, gets in the way, and I cant have a normal romantic comedy.
He has short black hair and a clean, fresh and handsome face.
He was quite tall, with a height of over 180 centimeters. This is probably why he was on the basketball team
I lined up next to Yuichi, got off the bike, and started walking with him.
Hey, no morning practice for the basketball team?
Oh, not today. I got a good nights sleep thanks to that.*
I see. I guess even the ace of the basketball team takes days off.
Thats right. Resting is part of the practice.
Yuichi is very athletic and has been the ace of the basketball team since his freshman year. And he has a good face so hes popular
I know him well, because hes my friend, and hes just a normal guy.
Yuichi has all the elements of a popular guy, but this guy mistakenly thinks he is not popular.
The reason for such a misunderstanding is because of his childhood friend, Kaori Tojoin, who loves him.
Since kindergarten, Tojoin had a crush on Yuuichi, so Tojoin pressured the girls around him in order to keep them away.
Hes so cool that he could have a fan club if he really wanted to, but this guy still thinks hes neither cool or popular.
Well, thats Tojoins fault, so I guess it cant be helped.
However, Yuichi has fallen in love with someone in high school.
Thats the other heroine, Shiho Fujise.
Ive heard about you, Yuichi. I heard that you finally asked Fujise out on a date.
What? Where did you hear that from, ?
Of course, its just a rumor.
Are you telling me that youve awoken your power to the WIND ELEMENT!?
Hmm, if I wave my arms, I can lift the skirts of all those women but I cant go any further.
Eh, really? Come on, there are lots of JKs around here.[TLN: JK means Joshi Kosei, Highschool girl.]
Dont call highschool boys JK
We were having a very wholesome, high school boy-like conversation.
Well, I never thought that I would be able to enter the world of Ojojama and have such a stupid conversation with the protagonist.
Im not as happy as I was when I talked to Sei-chan, but Im honestly happy as an otaku.
So, who did you actually hear it from?
Id like to say it was Fujise, of course, but I just overheard her talking to Shimada.
Seriously, what did they talk about?
Of course, she said, Shigemoto-kun asked me out on a date, but hes too creepy for me.
What? Oh, youve got to be kidding me. ?
Hahaha, just kidding.
Even if its a joke, it gets stuck in my heart, so seriously, stop.
Thats bad.
Well, actually she was talking about something really cute like Can I really confess my feelings to Shigemoto-kun?, but thats probably not my place to talk about.
Whens the date, tomorrow or the day after?
Today is Friday, so Ill have the weekend off tomorrow.
Its Sunday, and it looks like both the basketball and tennis clubs dont have practice.
Oh, Well, I guess I dont really have anything to help you with, but good luck.
AhOf course
Oh, You seem to be talking about something interesting, Yuichi.
Yuichi was about to nod strongly when he heard a womans voice from behind him.
We froze with our mouths open.
N-No way.., These thoughts were running through our mind simultaneously
Moving with movements like a robot, we turned around and
Good morning, Yuichi. Hisamura-kun.
Mor-Morning Kaori
Goo-Good Morning Tojoin-san
There was Kaori Tojoin, one of the heroines, with a terrifying smile on her face.
Her golden hair, shining divinely, flowed beautifully down her back and was swept by the wind.
Her hair is so beautiful that it represents her elegance.
She is wearing a school uniform, but for some reason it looks even more pure and gorgeous when she wears it, even though it should be the same as the other .
Her face is very beautiful and her facial features have a japanese feel..
I think she was a quarter european, Her grandfather was a european descent.
So, Yuichi. Youve been talking very happily all morning. Would you mind if I joined you?
Na-Nah, its just something me and Tsukasa can talk about since were both guys! Right, Tsukasa?
Yeah, I guess so, You dont want to hear about Yuichi ordering me to lift up the skirts of all the JKs around here, do you? [TLN: You traitor, I love you]
When did I ever tell you that?
Yuichi retorted with a ridiculous amount of energy
Calm down Yuuichi, we have to divert the story first.
Oh, so what were you talking about, Yuichi?
I didnt order him to lift people skirts, Its just Tsukasa muttering to himself wanting clairvoyant powers to see naked Highschool girls
When did I ever say that?
Now it was my turn to retort.
Oh, Hisamura-kun, its not good to spread your desires around. If youre going to do it, do it in the privacy of your own room.
Tojoin-san, you seem to have a surprisingly high tolerance for this kind of thing.
Im learning every day so that Yuichi can attack me at any time.[TLN: Fuuu someone is feisty ( )]
Good for you, Yuichi. Now your future is decided as the president of Tojoin Group.
Wait! You betrayed me!
Shut up, Who betrayed the other first? Well I guess its me.
Well that goes off topic
So Yuichi, do you have any plans for the Sunday after tomorrow?
Oops, Ive made a sharp turn and went back.
N-No, Well my club has.
The volleyball team will be using the entire gym on Sunday.
How did you know even if youre not from the volleyball club.
Because its me.
As expected of Tojoin-san, shes the daughter of the man who founded Tojoin High School.
Well thats probably a completely irrelevant part of the story, but Ill praise it anyway.
Thank you, Mr. Hisamura. So, do you have any plans for Sunday? If not, why dont you have a party at my place? We can rent out a luxury cruise ship and throw a party.
You have too many luxury cruise ships
The scale of money she spent is extraordinary
We-Well, anyway, I dont have any plans for Sunday, but I want to take it easy! I have basketball practice until noon!
Oh, I see. Yesterday the basketball club was on holiday. Thats why you muttered, I wanted to practice early so I get to get a day off.
Wait a minute, when did you hear that? I think I said that last night!
Whoa, Yuichi, I dont think you should ask any more questions than that.
Thats the dark side of Kaori Tojoin, a childhood friend heroine who probably contains a yandere element, is not ready for you yet.
All right. If Yuichi doesnt want to talk,Its fine, I have an idea. Well, Id better get to school. Have a good day, Hisamura-kun.
Oh, Good day to you too.
With that, Tojoin walks toward the school, with her hair swinging smoothly.
Yuuichi and I froze there for a while.
Tsukasa. I know you said earlier that you didnt think there was anything you could help me with, but I need your help with something.
Hmm? I can already predict what you want help with, but What do need help with?
Kaori Tojoin, Keep her at bay
Of course I cant, use your common sense. And explode.
WHYYY?
Well., What should I do now?
I mean, was there ever a development like this in the original?
