One additional chapter...
Thanks Smallcadkm & Arclab for the support...
「Open your
mouth. But it's not like I want to feed you, you know」
「Fu~min, eat
my food」
「Fumio-kun,
you like my omelet, don't you?」
Right now, the chopsticks are coming at me from three places.
Of course, it's from Kurosawa-san, Fujiwara-san, and Masaki-chan who
surrounded me, and I felt like a baby bird being fed endlessly by multiple
parent birds.
But then I caught sight of Shima-san beckoning me from the corridor
outside the classroom.
As I was afraid that I would be forced to eat three lunches, it was
a perfect opportunity for me.
「I'll be back
in a bit」
And so, taking advantage of the situation, I broke through the enclosure
and slipped out into the corridor.
「What's the
matter?」
「No worries,
just lend me your face」
I followed Shima-san up the stairs and reached the landing in front
of the rooftop, only to find Tashiro-san with a serious expression on her face
and her arms folded.
「I've been
waiting for you, Confinement King!」
Tashiro-san muttered in a very low voice, glaring at me.
Then, Shima-san walked up next to Tashiro-san and said to her, as if
to push her back.
「Come on,
Ui-chan, just say it!」
「Y-Yes」
While I'm confused, Tashiro-san took a deep breath and shouted.
「Y-You
bastard! W-What do you think you're doing? D-Don't get carried away! You idiot,
stupid, fool!」
「?」
Tashiro-san shouted at me as I stared blankly at her and she
continued to spoke.
「W-What are
you babbling about? Rest time has already passed!」
「Well... I
didn't say anything...」
「Eh? Ah...
then shut up! Just shut up! 」
「Yeah,
well... okay」
By the way, it's quite refreshing to hear Kansai dialect read with
such barbed words.
And then...
「Eh, eh,
uh...」
Tashiro-san's eyes began to wander, as if she couldn't find the
words, but Shima-san began to whisper in her ear and she answers her talk with,
“Okay, okay”. Then, she continued to spoke.
「That's
right. I've had enough... er, I mean, I've had enough of this... er, S-Shima.
What's that again?」
Shima-san then whispers while holding her temples as if holding in a
headache.
「Earholes」
「Yes! That's
right! I'm going to stick my fingers in your ears and make your back teeth
rattle, you fool!」
Tashiro-san lets out a satisfied exhale and gives a big smile.
「How about
it! Confinement King!」
「What!?」
I beckoned to Shima-san and asked her in a whisper.
「What's going
on here?」
Shima-san replied with a wry smile.
「Yesterday,
you skipped Ui-chan's turn. That's why Ui-chan came to me crying. She said she
was upset because Misuzu pretended to play hooky and thus skipped her turn」
「Oh... I see」
Then I understood what was going on.
Tashiro-san is trying to make me angry and make me punish her in the
same way Kurosawa-san did.
However, since Tashiro-san doesn't generally speak ill of others,
her vocabulary of swear words is too poor for me to abuse her.
As a result, she consulted Shima-san, and this is what she came up
with.
「What do you
think? Pissed off? I bet you feel like punishing me! Yes, you would! I know you
do!」
Looking at Tashiro-san's expectant face, I found myself smiling all
the way around.
In fact, I'm the one who skipped her turn, so I guess I should
discipline her exactly as she wants.
「Yes, you're
right. Come to the library after school」
