Our Classmates Don't Know We're Having S*x In Your Room

The next morning, I reach out from under the covers to check my phone.

——There doesn’t seem to be any movement yet.

I have asked Takai to monitor the group chat so that she can contact me if there’s any movement.

I have not received any messages from Takai, so I guess there’s no movement in the group chat for now.

「Take it easy, Onii-chan.」

After breakfast, I washed my face, got ready and put my loafers at the entrance, my Imouto Natsuki spoke to me.

「It’s all right. You know that, don’t you Natsuki? You know that I run away from troublesome things. If something happens, I’ll be the first to run away.」

I acted jokingly so as not to worry Natsuki.

「Un, I know. But if something happens tell me right away.」

「Ahh… I know. Well, I’m off then.」

Natsuki saw me off and I headed to the school.

Incidentally, the middle school Natsuki attends has a later start time than the high school to ease congestion on the way to the school  and near the school gate.

So it would be enough time for me to leave the house after I left.

As I walked along my way to school, I was searching for a solution to the slander. However, I could not come up with any good ideas. I hoped that the slander would be calmed down, fade from their memories, and resolved itself naturally, but I had a bad feeling and could not calm down in any way.

◇

I went through the school gate and opened the shoebox to take a peek, but found nothing in it. As I took out my jacket and carefully checked it, a familiar female student approached me from behind.

「Tōyama, morning.」

I turned around and there stood Uehara-san, who always arrives at school just in time.

「Good morning, Uehara-san. You’re a little early today.」

It’s rare to see Uehara-san at the shoebox.

「I somehow thought Tōyama might be there, so I came early.」

I guess I’m worried because someone with malicious intent is in close proximity to me in class. I may be unreliable, but I am also a man. I can at least act as a wall when something goes wrong.

「Tōyama, you’ve been looking at my shoes very carefully since awhile ago, what’s wrong?」

Uehara-san seemed to think I was acting weird checking to see if there were any thumbtacks or needles inside.

「Ah, no, it’s nothing.」

It was the only time I was directly harassed, but not since then. I have not told Uehara-san about the garbage in my shoebox and desk so as not to cause her unnecessary worry.

「Hmph… You’re hiding something—Huh? What the… something’s in there.」

I stopped mid-sentence as soon as Uehara-san opened her own shoebox.

——Did she say something was in there!?

My heartbeat jumped with a thump as I remembered the paper in my shoebox the other day.

「A paper… Ehh?」

When I turned my head to the side, I saw a grief-stricken Uehara-san standing there in a daze. And in her hand was a sheet of paper.

Don’t tell me——!

I looked at the paper in Uehara-san’s hand.

『How much do I have to pay to let me fuck you?』

Written there were malicious slanderous words.

I fearfully asked Uehara-san how she was doing.

She was standing there quietly, looking as if she was out of her mind.

——What do I do? What do I say to her?

I couldn’t think straight and I couldn’t move either. For a few seconds, I and Uehara-san remained motionless, staring at the white paper.

「What’s with Tōyama and Marika? Are these two asking for help?」

I came to my senses when an unpleasant voice reaches my ear.

When I turned around to look at the grating voice, I saw Kurashima and another classmate from the same class, Taniguchi Yukio, who was following Kurashima like a goldfish, standing there with a grin on his face and nasty smile on his face.

「I’m glad that the unattractive Tōyama was able to get Marika to have sex with her. I wish we could follow in his footsteps. Right, Taniguchi?」

「No, really. Even Kurashima-kun wouldn’t let him fuck her, I really envy Tōyama.」

Taniguchi laughs vulgarly.

This two——!

「Taniguchi, that’s vulgar. No matter how slutty Marika is, you have to be careful how you say it.」

I saw the image of Uehara-san, pale, and with tears in her eyes. Something inside me snapped when I saw her saddened appearance.

「Youuuuu—!!!!!!」

I grabbed Kurashima by the chest and slammed him bodily against the lockers.

Kurashima’s back collided with the locker, making a loud clattering sound, and he was crucified to the locker with me holding his chest.

「Kurashimaaaa!!! You can say any amount of bad things about me… but… if you say anything degrading about Uehara-san—— I’ll fucking kill you!!!」

I snapped and tightened the collar of the shirt I was holding tightly around Kurashima’s neck.

「T–Tōyama… s–stop… it, it hurts…」

「H–hey, Tōyama! Release Kurashima-kun! He’s gonna die!」

Taniguchi seems to be saying something—— after Kurashima, you’re next.

「Tōyama! Stop!」

Uehara-san plaintive cry reached my anger-tainted heart. I stop my hand that was tightening.

「Tōyama, stop… please… I will be fine……」

Uehara-san’s voice took away the strength of my hand holding Kurashima.

When I let go of his hand, Kurashima slumped to the ground.

I stood there looking down at Kurashima, who was in a fit of coughing, from above.

The place was in uproar and I was taken away by the teacher who came in a hurry.

◇

「What happened to a quiet student like you, Tōyama-kun? Tell me what happened with Kurashima-kun.」

I was being interrogated in the Student Guidance Office by my homeroom teacher, Miyamoto-sensei, and the life guidance teacher, Kuwajima-sensei.

「Tōyama, I heard from other students that you were very angry, what happened to make you so angry?」

I am not usually a bad person. That’s why both of them seemed surprised at the sudden act of violence.

「I don’t want to talk about it.

I can’t say anything bad as long Uehara-san is involved. Because I have to talk about the group chat.

Telling the whole story as it is may solve the problem on the surface, but it will not clear Uehara-san’s name.

「Tōyama-kun, you could be suspended if you keep this up.」

I don’t mind being suspended.

But, if I am allowed to come to school because of the suspension, I will not be able to protect Uehara-san. I think it will be short-sighted to think so, but I don’t regret commuting the act of violence against Kurashima.

「……」

I would be suspended or expelled anyway. So I decided to keep silent and think about it later.

「Fuu… If you don’t want to talk about it, then I have no choice. I have to ask Kurashima about the situation, and after I hear what he has to say. I will decide what to do with Tōyama. Until then, you are on standby at home.」

What will Kurashima say? That is my concern.

「I understand. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.」

I was placed on home leave from that day and take a leave of absence from school.
