Whoa! Your first na is unbelievable! So cool!
Ugh!?FWE
I wondered when she had taken out my student ID card, and Hyuga was right next to , her eyes swirling as she raised her voice.
Return it to , you idiot!
When I attempted to catch her, she lightly dodged and slipped away.
Your na is so striking that even the sparkling nas of the day would be beaten by it. Can I call you by your first na from now on?
No!! Absolutely not!!
I gnashed my teeth while howling like a demon. Yeah, I was being serious.
HuhEven though its so cool!
Its not cool at all! People always say its not a good na! Its a na that doesnt do any good! I hate it! I an return that!!
Oops!
Hyuga was running away from my arms cheekily. As far as I knew, nobody was more talented at running away and having such sticky fingers than her. Unlike her appearance, she was always moving around for no reason at all. Yet, when satisfied, she would easily return it and apologize to .
So why did she steal from to begin with?
Heres your student ID card. Sorry, I took it without your permission.
You do you do things like this to your friends too?
No, I dont. If I did, they wouldnt like .
Dont say that so brazenly.
You an its okay for you to do stuff like this to ?
You know, you get mad at , saying youll beat up all the ti, but youll forgive and despite all that, you never beat up.
HahTranslator: MadHatter
You were totally ssing around with . While on the subject, Hyuga turned away and let out an ehehe sound.
Youve got a lot of nerves ssing with the upperclassn, you little glasses-wearing prick, Im going to crush you.
Youre so foul-mouthed and scary!
In contrast to what Hyuga was saying, she didnt even feel that way. For so reason, Hyuga jumped up and down joyfully.
From that day on, she started showing up in front of like a phantom after club activities, when I skipped class or was leaving school. It was most often when I was alone that she would pop up.
At unpredictable tis, she appeared from behind , right next to , or even out of the shrubbery the other day.
Who the hell was this guy?
What did she want, what did she want to do, and what was so enjoyable about chasing around? She was so cryptic to the level that I seriously couldnt grasp her.
Despite the fact that she was a girl, she defiantly climbed the fence, pulled a caterpillar from the wall and presented it to , mimicked a gorilla, unexpectedly began dancing, delivered one-liners, and didnt even freak out at the sight of a cockroach; instead, she ran after it.
Wasnt it normal people like her didnt exist?
Ever since Hyuga ca in contact with , she repeatedly did this. Whenever I encountered her, I was swept along and ended up hanging out with her because of her strange conduct while I didnt have any intention of associating with her since I didnt want to get into trouble with her.
On the exterior, she indeed had a more girlish appearance than those girls with their gaudy makeup.
On the inside, though, she was nothing like a girl.
And yet, she was not mannish either. She was an enigmatic creature.
Acting liberally, she delighted in everything. Rather than flouting school regulations or getting into trouble, she diligently attended her lessons and achieved high academic standing. So to speak, she was an honor student.
She was a tomboy at heart, nevertheless.
Every ti I saw her in a class held in a different room or passing by during recess, she was always at the center of the class with a clear voice that always went straight through.
At tis surrounded by a large number of girls, at tis by a group of boys, at tis by a couple of teachers, and at tis by mbers of the sa brass band club.
Each ti she shook her shoulders gleefully and laughed dazzlingly. Though she was one grade below , I knew her well enough to notice that. She would draw everyone around her and gather them together with her own distinctive ambiance.
Her adept use of words and her intriguing and unpredictable behavior all drew people to her. And I supposed I was one of those people who was drawn to her.
Hey, a person can mask their appearance, right?
On the roof of the main building, I was conversing with Kinoshita and the others while drinking a banana au lait. It was ti for the open-ended art class. Our assignnt was a landscape painting. Lacking motivation, we used to hang out on the rooftop with our canvases in hand and ditch class.
Ah, whats up, Masa?
That guy.Not shared on aggregator sites
Ahead of my line of sight was a pair of vigorous pony-tailed glasses chasing a soccer ball in the schoolyard right below us.
The girls were chattering and clumping together and were aggressively pursuing the ball. Though the girls were more subdued and boisterous than the boys soccer team. When Hyuga entered the ga, the pace of play imdiately shifted.
Even those who were not so enthusiastic about the ga sohow started to try to stop her from scoring, and the atmosphere beca that of a soccer ga. She continued to kick the ball and avoid each opponent as they ca at her, nevertheless, no matter how many players were coming at her.
That girl is impressive! What class is she in!?
Wow! Shes peerless!!
Even Tanaka and Nishimura, who were at the back, turned their attention to Hyuga after hearing the applause from below.
She ran for the goal at a high rate of speed, leaving the four of us speechless and mouths wide while being transfixed. Her buddy received a pass from her that was aid toward the goal, and the latter kicked the ball at a great height for the goal.
The ball, however, was unable to get in the net.
Hyuga stepped in at that point and unleashed a spectacular header that might have contended with anything in the J-League. The ball went straight into the net of the goal.
From below, cheers and applause surged up, accompanied by the whistle.
Jumping up and down, the girls surrounded Hyuga as she ran up to them, raising her hands in the air, looking pleased with herself regardless of her mildly misplaced spectacles or her slightly muddy hair.
Shes interesting, isnt she? I think shes from the 4th class, 2nd grade, in the brass band, her na is Hyuga.
Ah! That rumored girl!?
Wow! Even though she seems to be a mature girl!
At Kinoshitas comntary, Tanaka and Nishimura simultaneously shouted out.
You guys know her?
Ive at least heard of her na.
Yeah. She is a picture-perfect honor student with excellent sportsmanship, outstanding grades, and a flawless interpersonal relationship with her peers.
Apparently, Hyuga was quite a celebrity in the entire school community.
An honor student huh though a fairly eccentric one at that
With a wry smile, I looked at Hyugas face. She had such a face, and yet she caught insects with her bare hands. I wondered if these guys knew that.
Youre interested in her?
Kinoshita took a sip of my banana au lait. Hey, stop that.
No, not really. Its just that she attracts a lot of attention even though she seems so quiet, you know I think that shes incredible.
After saying that, I covered that mouth of mine. It was too late, though.
Shut up! You guys are being too loud!!
Haha! I an! Masa! You said that shes incredible! That, that, that! You rarely say such things buahahahahahahaha!!
Whats more! More than anything, shes not even interested in the girl!!
Its gonna be incredible! Tomorrow its gonna rain spears!
Spears arent going to descend, you idiot!!
Once they started bursting out into laughter, no matter what I said, it wouldnt stop them.
It was probably sothing I unconsciously uttered, which I deflected in an attempt to let it slide and pass over. Now, I was certain I ant those words.
Incredible. I didnt often acknowledge other people, but Hyuga was incredible. Did I really think so Yeah, that was right.
She stood in stark contrast to , who was always on the watch for anything that might co my way and made it difficult for others around to be close to , and Hyuga, who was outgoing and popular and embraced everything.
The dexterous Hyuga who could handle everything without a hitch.
Without conflicts, everyone adored her. She always seed to be having a good ti.
Unlike , who hid myself away in my shell, she was completely different from .
She possessed a lot of things that I lacked.
A mass of fascination.
Even if I tried to be normal, I would never be like that. Yet she went on living her life that way. She was inexplicable, not being swayed by others, nonetheless, she was on a straight line.
I couldnt possibly imitate that. Perhaps that was why I genuinely thought she was incredible.
Oh, no way. Masa.
What?
Nishimura put his arm around my neck and pulled close.
Could it be Youre in love with her?
Huh!?
Is it for real! Hey! Hakamada!
Are you in love with her!? Masa!!
Of course not!!
Hey, dont hide it!
Im not hiding anything!
For real! With a girl one grade below you!? Eh!!
Dont stir things up! Tanaka!
Sekihan! Sobody make sekihan!
Kinoshita! Do you want to get your dick thrown straight up in the air!!
Idiot! Youre not suitable for her! Ill take her first! Then Ill let you have a taste! Hehehe!!
You can jump down from the rooftop now, Nishimura!
The underclassn below us spotted us and were staring up at the rooftop as we were making a lot of noise and getting into a ss. Oh, no. The gym teacher was sending us a stern glare.
Hold the canvas! The canvas!
In a panic, I held up the canvas that I had left on the floor and made an appeal to show that I was working on it. It was a rather shaless lie.
Ah
At that mont, my eyes locked with Hyugas who was on the ground. She put her hand over her mouth and giggled softly.
I signaled to her by waving the pencil I was holding in front of the idiots.
Then Hyuga grinned and ran to the other side of the schoolyard.
What was I doing?
I pulled my pencil back and felt embarrassed. There was no particular need for to do that.
Fuu
She easily disrupted even my obstinate pace. Hyuga was terrifying.
But youd best hold off on pursuing that girl Kinoshita muttered as he watched Hyuga run away.
