Underneath the Bastardity

Chapter 18 - Request from the Committee

After a week of mostly uneventful stuff, the day where Hayaru returns to school arrived, with the mentioned student, Momoi, and Mahiru arriving at the school together, earning gossips from other students.

"Is that Hayaru-san? I thought he was suspended."

"Isn't he suspended for a month, not a week?"

"Maybe he somehow threatened the disciplinary committee to shorten his suspension."

"Give me a fucking break already!!" Unable to hold himself any longer, Hayaru yelled over all the things he overheard, scaring everyone around him.

"Calm down, Aru-kun. I'm sure they're just skeptical and don't have any bad feelings for you." Momoi assured his best friend.

"That's right, Hayaru-kun." Mahiru then added.

"And let the bitches keep badmouthing me? No fucking thanks." Hayaru huffed in exasperation. The two girls sighed over him, before entering the building together.

"Hayaru-kun..." Pairu and Yuniko, who were watching the three from afar, sighed over her former friend still being the same hateful self as before, even with Mahiru with him. "Don't worry, Hayaru-kun. We'll try our best to help you, even if you don't realize it." And with both of them nod to each other, the two work their way to dispel the rumors around Hayaru.

As the class begins in 1-C, Hayaru still hear some gossiping around him. It's only natural considering the news from a week ago.

'I should've just dipped from this hellhole.' He thought angrily. As the class continued, there's a sound of a door knock, prompting the teacher to stop.

"A moment, students." She said before opening the door, revealing a Disciplinary Committee member standing.

"Excuse me for interrupting, but is Asakura Hayaru here?" She asked, making Hayaru growl over what's happening to him.

"Oh, yes. Is there something wrong about him?" The teacher then asked, eyeing towards the increasingly frustrated Hayaru.

"There's nothing wrong, ma'am. We just... need him to come to our office."

"For what? For existing?!" Once again, Hayaru lose control of his temper as he glares sharply at the member, frightening those around him.

"N-no! Our leader just asked you to come! She even promised that there'll be no punishments or sorts!" The member said, clearly frightened from Hayaru's outburst. Hayaru continued to glare at the member, until he sighed and walked to the door.

"This better be worth it, bitch." He vehemently said, in which the member quickly nods and lead Hayaru to the office. With him now gone, the tension around the homeroom quiet down, with the teacher then continue the lesson, as if it wasn't interrupted in the first place.

After a while of walking silently, the two have arrived at the Disciplinary Committee office. But for Hayaru, it only bring bad memory of his suspension.

"R-right this way." The member said as she opens the door, and lead Hayaru to the leader's section. During the trip, the other members are skeptical around Hayaru, but none are dare enough to start a gossip around him.

Upon arriving at the entrance to the section, the member opens the door, leaving Hayaru to enter inside. And thus, Hayaru once again meet the one that led him to his suspension: Kasuto Sunaya.

"Good morning, Hayaru-san." She begin, "Please take a seat. I've prepared tea for you as well."

This time however, Hayaru contain his hatred towards the leader and does so, but ignores the tea with a look that says: 'Get on with it.'

"... I understand." Sunaya sighed, before facing straight towards Hayaru...

and bows profusely.

"I'm deeply sorry!" She exclaimed, but Hayaru is unfazed by it. "I've misjudged you, and did not hear more of your side of the story, which is why I should've reconsider your punishment beforehand."

After hearing the apology, Hayaru stared at the bowing Sunaya. Even with the genuine apology, it did not move the boy's heart a bit.

"... Are you done?" He said as calmly as possible, making Sunaya do a double take, visibly surprised from Hayaru's demeanor. He then stood up as if he's leaving. "I'm going back to class-"

"Wait!" Sunaya shouted, "I understand that you don't want to hear this, but I need your help in the case of detaining Sazaharu Chiari!"

The moment Hayaru heard the name, he stopped, and turned towards Sunaya and gives his most sharpest and deepest glare at Sunaya.

"Why the fuck do you BRING THAT NAME, BITCH?!" He yelled while walking towards her and pinning Sunaya on a wall, making her panic and frightened.

"I-I know some of your relationship with the delinquent, and we were trying our hardest to finally detain her and her gang." She explained, still trembling over his glare. "But I ask of you not to join us, but to simply tell us more about Chiari. I promise with my role as the head committee that that's the only thing I need from you, and nothing more."

As she tried her best to keep herself calm, she couldn't held her tear from falling down. She now understood why Mahiru warned her about his temper, and now she experience the outcome from provoking Hayaru first hand.

She also wonder of how Mahiru can get friendly with the boy, despite his intense mysogyny.

For Hayaru meanwhile, he continue to glare at Sunaya, before stopping and backed off from her.

"I don't give a damn." He said, "It's your bullshit, and I have no reason to care about that shit. You're on your own." He then turn around and leave the section, and then the office, no longer caring about anything anymore.

For Sunaya, she slowly slide down and lightly sobbed from the held-down emotions. When one of the members came in, she saw her leader in an emotional wreck, making the member worry.

"Should we detain Hayaru-san, ma'am?" She asked, which Sunaya shakes her head.

"Don't. That's the last thing he need right now." Sunaya said, clearly not wanting to anger him even more. "He's heading back to his homeroom right now, so there's that."

"But what about you?"

"I-I'm alright..." Sunaya said, as she slowly calming down. "It has to be expected... for someone who had a direct confrontation with the Scarlet Delinquent..."

~~ >/With Hayaru/> ~~

The rest of the class went uneventful, and thankfully, there were no more gossiping around him. During lunchtime, he went to do so with Momoi at the usual place, where Hayaru told the pinkette about his recent encounter with Sunaya.

"That bad huh..." Momoi said,

"Bad doesn't even cover it." Hayaru replied. "What the fuck is her obsession with that fucker? Why detain her when she couldn't even find the fucker's whereabouts."

"I already told her about your relationship as well. I guess that's not enough for her." Momoi replied.

"I'll just stop talking about that fucker." And thus Hayaru closed the topic, not wanting to drag it even further. The two continue to talk about other stuff, until Mahiru came along, making Hayaru fuming with rage while Momoi calms him down. And thus the lunch continued with bickering among themselves, with Mahiru and Momoi enjoying their talk while the former occasionally (unintentionally) anger Hayaru.

Although, the meeting with Sunaya will not be the last meeting he have for today...

(It's been a while!
As always, I hope you guys enjoyed, and Peace Out!~)
