Your Lovely Troublemaker

Part 4

Kiyotaka POV

Most of the golden week has passed by and I'm sure that misinformation has spread around the campus surrounding me and Ichika. Though I had been trying to be discrete, there were some things we cannot avoid. Tomorrow is once again the start of classes and I can't help but have a bad feeling about it.

For now, I was now outside the convenience store. I had already bought a few things. I was tired for no particular reason.

As the Ayanokouji group and Ichika continue to bombard my room, I had been forced to cook a few times for a rather large group.

"Yo, Ayanokouji. What're you doing here?" Ryuuen Kakeru, leader of the class that is now the new holder of the name Class B, has approached me.

"Ryuuen, what is it?"

"It's not often you take an interest in anyone unrelated eh?"

"That's not true. Hiyori was completely unrelated to the class conflict."

"That may be true, but that kouhai of yours is particularly close to you. Closer to you than most of your pawns."

"What are you talking about?"

"Even Karuizawa doesn't get this special treatment. So, what gives?"

"An interrogation huh? Even you should know that you won't be getting anything from me unless I want you to."

"Kukuku. I wonder where that confidence goes whenever you talk to someone else. But going back to our topic... Amasawa Ichika was it? There's definitely a connection between the two of you, no?"

I immediately saw what he's implying.

"Ryuuen, I doubt you would be able to accomplish much with whatever your thinking. You went get far."

"Now why would you say that? Did you tame and train her like Karuizawa? Come on, entertain me a little."

"I have no reason to nor will I do so."

"Being mysterious as ever I see. Whatever you say, I would definitely still test the water."

"I don't really care either way."

In truth, I am quite interested in his encounter with Ichika. Violence, his so-called strongest weapon, would not be a method that would be effective on white room students. The more terrifying part was Ichika's ability to be able to act as if she has never been put through the white room.

As Ryuuen left me alone, I began to walk towards my dorm room.

"He should really wonder about that question to himself, senpai."

Amasawa Ichika emerged in my line of sight.

"What are you talking about?"

"Where he gets his confidence. If I recall correctly, this senpai was the one who extensively searched for you, then when you intervened he stopped abruptly. Though, rumors say it was because he had a fallout with a classmate and they fought. Which can only mean you fought him."

"... Where did you get this information from?"

"It's a secret~. Maybe I'll tell you someday, Senpai~. Returning to the topic, shouldn't he realize you're something to be feared."

"He did. It's just that he never felt fear before that point. That may be the reason he would want to defeat me."

"That senpai has no chance against you~."

"You're extremely informed about our time as first-years and the events that we went through so I'm going to have to ask. Is your information limited to things that I accomplished or influenced?"

"Mostly. But don't worry Senpai, you were involved in the most important events of your year in the first place."

We walked towards my dorm room as she refused to return to the first-years' dorms.

"Hmm? Good morning Ayanokouji-kun. Ehm? who is this kouhai again?"

Matsushita, who was apparently planning on going to the convenience store, approached me and Ichika.

"Good morning, Matsushita-senpai. My name is Amasawa Ichika, from Class 1-A."

"Wait, how do you know my name?"

"I heard about it from Kiyotaka-senpai~."

"Kiyotaka? Are you two close? You just called him by his first name."

"Yes~."

And with that, Ichika clung her arm around mine. I was too tired to come up with excuses so I just sighed and remained silent.

"Hmm... What's the relationship between the two of you? Are you two dating?"

"Matsushita-senpai, you do ask a lot of questions as Kiyotaka-senpai said." Ichika suddenly switched the main topic of discussion to center around Matsushita.

"Eh?"

"He said that you followed him around a couple of times. Matsushita-senpai, could you be a stalker of Kiyotaka-senpai~? " Ichika now seemed to be directly interrogating her with a sarcastic voice.

"What?! No!" Matsushita was now unsettled and was now stuttering.

, Ichika whispered to her ear something.

"Do you have a crush on Kiyotaka-senpai?"

"N-No! I d-don't!" Matsushita who was accused and was now extremely flustered.

Ichika, for the finishing blow, once again went up against her ear and whispered something, once again.

"Then why did you blush earlier, Matsushita-senpai?"

As Ichika's what can only be described as harassment continues, Matsushita's faced was completely flushed red.

"Ichika, I think that's going too far. I also have to consider the fact that I have to deal with Matsushita tomorrow and for days to come as she is my current seatmate."

To my dismay, I scanned the surroundings and Matsushita has completely disappeared from our surroundings. Looks like she ran away while I was talking to Ichika.

"Just as it was about to get fun too..." she mumbled.

"I don't think you're the one who's supposed to be grumbling or complaining."

"Anyway, where are you off to, Senpai?

"I was going to be spending the last day of the golden week in my room. Hopefully, in peace. But I can see that that won't be happening."

"Don't worry Senpai. Your day won't be ruined just because of that. How about we go somewhere then?"

We went to my dorm first to drop off the things I bought from the convenience store. As we made our way outside the dorm once again, she continued where she left off and locked her arm around mine, and dragged me around. She was leading me to the direction of Keyaki Mall where trouble brewed once again.
