Sitted near the shoe lockers at the end of a friday, Minami held her head with both hands and sighed, carrying a bored expression on her face. No matter how many times she checked her watch or looked at the hallways, no one would appear.
"Ah, that bulls for brains pig isn't here yet. I thought kendo practise ended ages ago. Man! Just appear already!" Minami pouted.
"What the hell are you shouting for? More like why are you still here?" Ban, who happened to be passing by after leaving kendo practise, asked, looking down on the girl.
"I was waiting for you, you dummy meanie!"
"I don't know what the hell gave you the idea I wanted to be friends with you but you're the root of my issues with the council so I'll pass."
"Wait, wait, wait! Ban-san, just give me a second of your time!" Minami exclaimed, running after Ban and stopping front of him with her arms spread out.
"This barrage idea isn't going to work, I'm taller than your and probably twice your mass."
"You're going to Doujima's house, right? I'm familiar with the area, so at least let me give you some instructions." Minami said, pulling out her phone with a mapping app already open. "Please? I'll feel bad forever if I don't do something to repay you for the council thing."
Ban sighed and got out his phone. "Get on with it. Doujima's dumb forgetting ass hasn't sent me the address yet."
"Yay!" Minami giggled and showed him her phone. "What you wanna do is follow this path that begins near the gas station. It's the closest one to Heiwa, so you'll get there in no time. You probably are in a hurry too, since you left later because of the kendo club, right? Just take the left near the gas station and you'll be there in an instant, I swear!"
"Yeah, yeah, whatever. This doesn't makes us friends so stop going out of your way to annoy me." Ban grunted, walking past the girl.
"Okay! Bye bye, have fun with your friends, Ban-san!" Minami waved at Ban with a large smile on her face, but the very second she lsot sight of him, that smile faded, aswell as any hint of her usual cheerfulness in her eyes. She grabbed the collar of her shirt with a strong grip and began pulling and pushing it, making it seem as if someone with a strong grip had grabbed it.
Izuru walked through the upper hallways of the main school building, yawning because of the arduous kendo practise he left not even ten minutes ago. He took out his phone and quickly checked his messages, only to find nothing.
"I guess Tate already left football practise. Aimi and senpai probably left by now too..." Izuru muttered, sighing. "Maybe Kasumi's still on the library... No, even the library's assistant would have left by now. Ah well, I'll just go spend the rest of my day indulging myself in video games that won't add anything to my life and then hit the hay."
"Sec-chan!"
"Hm? Isn't that voice-" Izuru looked up from his phone, but before he noticed it, someone was already with their arms around his torso. "Huh? Minami?"
"Grab a hold of yourself, Minami. Just tell me what happened." Izuru said. Placing his hands on the girl's shoulders, he managed to have Minami let go of him, but in doing so, he noticed her shriveled collar. "Hey, your collar-"
"I-it was him! T-that bully on my class! I w-was waiting for you at the school entrance a-and he found me t-there and he... A-and he... He forced me to give him directions this house on this residential area!" Minami showed Izuru her phone. "Y-you live nearby, right?! What if he's going to try h-hurt you or something?!"
"That area..." Izuru's eyes widenned. "Why did you stay to wait for me?!"
"Because I was worried about you..." Minami sobbed. "What if he tried to hurt you because of you rejecting his attempt to become King? I told him a-about the council's possibility of helping him, so if anything happened to you, I'd feel terrible forever... So I stayed and waited for you, so that he wouldn't try anything funny with you!"
"Minami..." Izuru sighed and shook his head, showing the girl a small smile. "Don't worry. I'll take care of this. Just go home and get some rest." He said, placing his hand on her head.
"H-hai... Sec-chan, stay safe, please..." Minami muttered, looking back at the running Izuru. "Good luck now, bull for brains pig."
