The S**ttiest Gyaru in the Class Confessed to Me
I somehow figured it out.
Masa san’s email address is “masa-ki.”
Ki is Kitamura. Masa is probably Masa from the name Miyabi (pronounced as it is written).
(So Masa san is Miyabi after all.)
“Miyabi san?”
I replied.
If I just let the days pass, the harassment will only get worse. I thought the only way to break the current situation was to confront the mastermind directly.
I immediately received a reply from Miyabi.
“You know who I am. Yes, I’m Miyabi”
“I wanted to talk too. Where should I go?”
“Tomorrow, in front of the ticket gate at XX Station. 10 a.m.”
“10 a.m., as in the morning?”
“Yes.”
Tomorrow is a weekday.
At 10 a.m., I’ll be in class.
“Does that mean I should skip school?”
“You can think of it that way.”
I see.
Got it.
The next day, I skipped school, pretending to be sick.
On my way to the meeting place,
I sent a message to Mio.
“I’m skipping school today. Please protect Ichika. I’ll make sure the harassment stops.”
Mio replied.
“Got it. Don’t push yourself too hard.”
I should also email Rinne san.
I’m glad I got her business card earlier.
I haven’t told Ichika about today.
Talking about it now would just worry her.
…Once everything is over, I’ll talk to her properly.
What should I say to Miyabi san?
I guess I’ll just have to tell her everything I’m thinking and ask her to stop the harassment.
I waited at the meeting place.
“She told me to come in uniform, but isn’t it weird to wear a uniform when I’m skipping school?”
As I was worrying, Miyabi san arrived five minutes before the meeting time.
I couldn’t help but look twice.
Miyabi san had changed.
Her hair was a light flaxen color. She had rolled up her skirt at the belt, exposing her white, shiny thighs. She was wearing pink lipstick, and her eyes looked even bigger with mascara. Her eyes were brown. She seemed to be wearing colored contact lenses.
In a word…a gal?
I think even if she passed by her classmates, they wouldn’t recognize her as Masaya.
“Aira kun. I’m sorry about today.”
“What’s with that outfit?”
I was so shocked that everything I had planned to say flew out of my head.
“Is it weird? Does it not suit me?”
Masaya looked down slightly and shook her body nervously.
“No, that’s not it…”
Miyabi san has a good-looking face.
She looks like a different person, but it suits her.
Then, Miyabi san took my hand.
“Let’s go, Aira kun.”
“Wait, I don’t get it.”
Miyabi san stopped.
“I think I understand what kira kun is trying to say. I won’t bother Katase san anymore. So, in exchange, would you be my playmate for today?”
“…No, I have a girlfriend, so I can’t do something like that.”
Miyabi san looked like she was about to cry.
“I just want to play normally. I won’t ask for anything more than that. Okay?”
Miyabi san looked straight at me.
I’m sure she’s not lying.
Yesterday, I caused a commotion in class and realized that I couldn’t solve everything with brute force. So, if this is a peaceful resolution, maybe it’s for the best.
“…I understand.”
When I answered, Miyabi san smiled.
“Oh, but…I don’t want you to call me ‘Miyabi san’ today.”
Today, I’ll obey the princess.
The plan is set.
I have to make her as happy as possible.
“Alright. Then, Miyabi chan.”
Miyabi stuck out her tongue.
“You’re so cold. Alright!! Let’s settle on that♡”
A sincere smile.
…If she were always like this, she’d be so cute.
From then on, Miyabi was like a different person.
She laughed a lot. And she was very kind.
For some reason, I felt like I was hanging out with Ichika.
Maybe this smile is her true self. If so, what changed her? What has been weighing her down all this time?
After that, we went to the amusement park and played to our hearts’ content.
We jumped around in the haunted house, shared a churro, and got motion sickness on the spinning ride.
When we rode the roller coaster, Miyabi held my hand.
When I looked at Miyabi, she had a face that looked like she was about to cry from anxiety. She must be afraid that I’ll reject her. …..I couldn’t push her hand away.
As the sky turned dusk-colored, we rode the Ferris wheel.
Then, Miyabi made a slightly sad face.
“Sou kun. Thank you for listening to my request. Today was the most fun I’ve ever had. You see, I’ve never been to an amusement park before.”
“Because your family was strict?”
Miyabi nodded.
“When I was little, my parents divorced. After that, it was just me and my mother, but she said amusement parks were places for foolish children.”
Come on. Then almost all children in the world are fools.
“I see. For the few minutes it takes for the Ferris wheel to make one rotation, I’ll listen to you. About the things that are hard for you, Miyabi.”
“Really?”
“Yeah, I won’t tell anyone.”
Tears streamed down Miyabi’s cheeks.
Then, like a dam had burst, she burst into tears.
She talked about being abused by her mother. She talked about how lonely she felt after her parents separated. She talked about how she had bullied a girl named Ami in first grade and caused her to transfer schools. She talked about how she didn’t hate Ikka, but she couldn’t help but tease her out of jealousy. And she talked about how she couldn’t stop herself from doing it.
Miyabi sobbed and covered her face with both hands.
Miyabi’s story…it was educational abuse by her mother.
If I had grown up in an environment like Miyabi’s, I don’t know what I would have become. It’s too much for a teenage girl to bear alone.
And as I listened to Miyabi’s story, I thought.
If she can’t stop herself, how can she stop the bullying?
The Ferris wheel was about to return to the boarding area.
This time is almost over.
“…I see. That must have been tough. Yeah.”
When I said that, Miyabi placed her hand over mine.
“There’s one more thing I haven’t told you.”
“What?”
Miyabi looked serious.
She stared at me intently.
For some reason, her cheeks were red.
“I like you, Sou kun. As long as you’re here, I don’t need anything else.”
