6. Travel to hell, Takeshima Masato

I’ve been pissed off lately, well ever since that Takeshima showed up. The girls have been glaring at me non-stop.

“Eh? That’s her?” A girl said in a low voice though I can hear it clearly.

“Yeah. That’s her. Minami Mizuki a first year from Class A.” Another girl said.

“Isn’t that her from the Tennis club? The one who competed in the inter-school tournament and won first place?”

“Eh? That’s her? The one who is rumored to be liked by the prince in this area?” Prince, my butt!

“No kidding!?”

“Yeah! That’s really her! Minami-san is our ace in basketball.” A girl from my class, Kyouka said. “That’s why we won the inter-section games.”

“You got that right! She also got first place in Archery, Judo, Aikido and Fencing” Korin said.

Amidst the glaring girls, there’s still some who are on my side. I’m kind of glad.

“Eh? Fencing? We have fencing at school?” A guy asked.

“There is. Ueno! You should also pay attention in school activities than just sleeping.”

I chuckled. Korin and Ueno have always been in a cat-dog relationship.

“Minami!” A guy’s voice called out.

I looked. It was a senior from Judo and with him is a senior from Aikido.

“Ah! Senpais! Good day to you.” I greeted.

“A-ah! G-good day to you!” Tsubasa Shouta, my senpai from Aikido said, blushing. To be honest, he looked really weird with that kind of face on. It totally contradicts his muscular body. They’re even taller than me.

“Senpai. Is there something I can help you with?” I said to Kurosaki Raiku, the senpai from Judo.

“Yes. In fact, there is. Would you come with us to the backyard? We have some important matters to discuss.” Kurosaki-senpai said.

“Ah. Okay. But why in the backyard?” I asked.

“It’s because it’s private and we can’t let the others hear it.” He answered seriously.

“Alright.” I agreed and went with them.

“This should be fine.” Tsubasa-senpai said.

“What is it that you want to discuss senpais?” I asked.

“It’s about the recent rumor.” Tsubasa-senpai said. Oh! That.

“What of it senpai? It’s just a rumor. It can be exaggerated at times.” I said.

“Yes. We know that. First of all, we’d like you to confirm if he’s really your suitor or not.” Kurosaki-senpai said.

I sighed. “It seems so. But there’s no guarantee that he’ll go through with it until he’s approved of by Ran and Kana. So there’s really nothing to worry about.”

“Ah! But the thing is, that Takeshima is no ordinary guy from what I’ve heard.” Kurosaki-senpai said.

“What do you mean Raiku?” Tsubasa-senpai asked.

“He’s the gold medalist who won in the international judo competition.” Ah! So he was that good.

“So then, the guys would like to challenge him as well. The ones who didn’t pass as your suitors, I mean.” Kurosaki-senpai said.

“Huh?” What the heck? What were they thinking going up against the gold medalist?

“To beat the gold medalist Takeshima, it’s killing two birds with one stone. They’ll gain your favor and they will also take pride as a Judo member.” Kurosaki-senpai said.
