Isekai Shoukan Chat 1 part 4
At first, they only spoke ill about me, spreading false rumors and calling me names even if it's called malicious bullying. Whenever they passed by me, they would glare and made small abuses like bumping into me on purpose or ignoring my existence. Though, I usually ignored them and thought of nothing about it.
Excluding Iori, none of my classmates spoke with me anymore, they didn't respond as if they had betrayed me.
Therefore I went to Iori and we ate rice and chatted together, we even went home together.
Of course, Iori didn't know about the bullying which the certain schoolgirls were doing to me. He doesn't have to know particularly. As long as Iori is here, that's fine for me.
―――――Others do not matter
They didn't like my attitude, so these school girls became irritated and began to use drastic actions.
So far, it isn't surreptitiously and the bullying has begun openly and squarely. However, the act of me being bullied is not yet found out by Iori, the level of the bullying was beyond strange.
However, I was only a junior high student after all. Even if I say what they did, my private property was wasted. They break various things from me on purpose and hid it as an accident.
It was fortunate, that I was always together with Iori, so they didn't resort to force. It will probably come out if I have any bruises, so they hesitated on using violence.
It was that time when the bullying began to get into full swing and one month was going to pass.
After school from somewhere away from my classroom, I was waiting silently for a thing being over at a place that became the blind spot in silence.
The reason that I waited at a blind spot place intentionally after school is that without also getting tired, the schoolgirls who don't like me vent out their anger on my desk and seat where I sit down every day.
Usual each time, they wrote “Die”, “Scum”, “Disappear” and “Die stalker” on my desk and chair with an oil pen, while vomiting abuses.
I thought, if I should attend class without erasing it, however, because Iori visits my classroom to meet me sometimes, I deleted this thought immediately.
Because I do such a cleaning every single day, to erase the words written with an oily pen, I took kerosene in small quantities with me every day, when I went to school.
Because I clean much desk every single day, just to erase the words written with an oily pen, I bought small quantities of kerosene with me to school every day
I told Iori to head on without me because I had a business to attend to, however, he insisted and said: "I will kill time in the library until you finish, therefore we can go home together once you're done, okay?" Although I declined to his request, he wouldn't budge.
Ah, Iori didn't change from the past and was gentle as always
――――――As long as Iori was here, I don't really need the others.
I really didn't think about the harassment of the girls who disliked me. Even if I did, it would be troublesome to clean it up.
I tried to finish as early as possible and quickly return with Iori. Suddenly, I stood still on a place that became a blind spot for the classroom.
Only because I'm at a place where it's a dead angle. A few seconds after I began hiding, footsteps and voices can be heard. Without also getting tired, the schoolgirls who didn't like came to my classroom as expected.
I vomited a small sigh while deciding if it is necessary for me to clean today or tomorrow. So I decided to clean my table today since it was they are just going to write on it again.
I hear the voice of the school girls.
"It's here, here. I already remembered her seat." while laughing.
"Nobody is here."
"She isn't here. Let's do it quickly as usual."
The girls didn't talk in a loud or soft voice. After their talk was interrupted, they immediately listened beside the classroom because when you're writing something using an oil based pen, you can hear the screeching sound even in the hallway.
Haa, Isn't about time that they would get tired already? Ah, I left my gym clothes in the classroom and today of all days..... anyway, if those girls notice it lying there.... I'll have to buy a new one....
I, who forgot to take my gym clothes back home blew out a big sigh while remembering the graffiti and my merciless chopped gym clothes.
15 minutes have passed since the schoolgirls entered the classroom. It was the time when I thought that it was over soon.
Even if Iori entered my classroom, they gave a lot of care to the door.
I looked at the ceiling and sighed, as usual, I had been absentminded and noticed to late Iori´s figure.
I might not be found by the girls, the place where I am now is quite far from the classroom.... however, I couldn't stop Iori from entering my classroom. I cried and ran....
Dashing out panicking from the place where I was concealing myself, Iori has already seen me at that time.
――――――The spectacle in my classroom after school
Iori widely opened his eyes. his face is showing his clueless expression saying that he has no idea on what's going on.
It's not his fault to be so surprised, the scene which Iori saw is horrifying. On a desk and chair, the word 'DIE' is scribbled all over the area, a set of gym clothes were cruelly minced to pieces. As Iori enter the room, a certain school girl kicks the leg of that desk while laughing making the desk fall on the ground.
The moment that they saw Iori suddenly entered the room, all of the members stopped. They have a hard time trying to speak to each other, trying to figure out a way to explain what's going on. The same goes for Iori.
Iori raised a cry in the classroom wrapped in complete silence.
"......Hey, what are you doing? This is Kaede´s seat right?”
It's was so low that you can see a sense of malice from the usual gentle character indicating that he was full of anger.
One schoolgirl saw Iori and began to talk.
“Ri, right but, this girl stalks Iori-kun? S, she was a stalker, right? right everyone?”
The schoolgirl who began to talk uttered words though she hesitated in saying them. immediately after, she asked other students for agreement.
Then the school girl who faltered, sees the other school girls hanging their heads down! Please think of us Saginomiya-san, they started to say such words, before agreeing.
To see such a scene, Iori responded. "Kaede is my important person!! Don't call her stalker without permission!!!"
firstly grasped the chest of the student who opened his mouth, before he raised a loud and angry voice.
When he shouted so, I reached my classroom at last.
Looking at me who entered the classroom while being out of breath, It attracted the eyes of everyone including Iori who were in the classroom.
Because I was together with him for approximately ten years, I have never seen a scene where Iori got angry and I was a little confused, before I spoke to soothe Iori who was angry for my sake.
"Ah emm, Iori? I'm all right, see? you don't need to worry about me. Ok?"
What kind of face did I have at that time? Although I didn't get it, I spoke while laughing as much as possible.
"Hey, Kaede. Are you calm? Why are you so calm? Kaede were you harassed? Does that happen even to your gym clothes? Kaede, why aren't you angry!! Hey, why!! Why!!"
Iori caught my shoulder while having a sorrowful look so as he seemed to cry he asked me.
"Eh, no, I mean..... because... I only need Iori... about such a thing... I didn't want to bother anyone."
I answered as if saying what was commonplace.
With such an attitude, I looked at the kerosene container which I grasped in my hand to delete the graffiti, and as for Iori, tears have begun to overflow from both his eyes as if the dike of the dam was broken.
While wiping the tears overflowing without stopping with his hand and being stunned by our conversation, Iori declared while kicking the near desk "You, get out of here quickly!!!" to the school girls.
I, who was going to delete the graffiti, as usual, got help from Iori who insisted on helping while crying and we both removed the graffiti.
He continued apologizing to me all that time when we left school, he stopped crying. I didn't say anything. I couldn't do anything and that whole time, going home, like a person bound to a curse, he didn't stop apologizing.
Then on the next day――――――Iori didn't come to school
Isekai Shoukan Chat 1 part 5
Iori found out that I was being tormented at school; on that day, he came to my house again to apologize, my parents found out about it after Iori apologized to me. My parents did not suspect Iori for the cause because it wasn't his fault, so they came to an agreement that they would not blame him for it.
Far from my parents blaming him, I see him crying while apologizing over and over again. "Iori is gentle" and "Thank you for being angry for Kaede" were spout out from my parent's mouth, they were really worried and wanted him to calm down and I also said something similar.
And, for several days after he came to my house to apologize, I couldn't face Iori directly.
I once went to Iori's house after the incident, but I didn't show my face to him after the mother of Iori apologized towards me, she forced a smile and said "Even if I try to speak to him, he wouldn't give me a reply and he has been inside his room without going out...."
After I heard about the problem, I walked towards the room of Iori. I intended to leave the house for about a couple of days and visit again, still, he was not answering.
A week passed from that day and I was able to face Iori.
I did not only let my face encounter for approximately two weeks, I was strange to the eyes which did not let Iori might say entirely and feel willpower. I also didn't have a meal so much that a lost a little weight.
I couldn't face him for approximately two weeks, him looking at me with guilt would suck all of his willpower. I also couldn't bear the event and lost weight due to me avoiding meals.
Still, I did not shed tears, the First utterance was still words of apology. After Iori also apologized and said "Because whenever I'm near you, Kaede, you encounter unfortunate events and others will hurt you, so I decided to avoid meeting with you"
I could not believe it. Although it wasn't Iori's fault, why would he say such thing? Why would he avoid me? Why do I feel uneasy whenever Iori's not around?
While asking myself, I asked Iori if we can go to school like always again, but he rejected my proposal. After having refused it, Iori has begun to question, there was no reason for it.
It's because of me that Kaede is hurt again, Kaede will feel sorry for me again, Kaede feels unpleasant because of me, Kaede is the cause......
Such a thing was being mentioned while having the face that would seem to cry soon.
I looked at Iori and said such a thing for some reason.
―――――Changing schools
Even I don't know what I said, it was being mentioned all too soon for some reason.
Change school with me, Iori who heard my words was surprised, “eh” a wild cry had been expressed.
I, who had seen such an Iori began to say a confused thing while suppressing a smile.
"Because I have been treated badly in this school and it wasn't your fault, to begin with, this school is just really bad. Therefore.... why don't we transfer, shall we change school, Iori?" I declared.
After declaring my intention, Iori was stunned, but I just put it into action.
Without Iori knowing, I obtain the agreement from his mother and I just returned to my house and got permission from my parents.
Both me and Iori have had excellent results rather than the normal average of students, though it is a little farther than our current one, but after we pass a test, we can transfer to a high consistency school, a better one.
The girls who harassed me for not having a good match with Iori and it was mentioned so many times because of my appearance, so I decided to pay attention to my looks before transferring to another school.
Iori wasn't too enthusiastic about the transfer and his mother managed to persuade him somehow, in the end, he understood the feeling and change school unwillingly.
But it was good to the place where I changed school, Iori did not go to many schools. He lengthens his forelock as if he wants to cover his face, the first person was strange for some reason. And it was missing entirely to speak to a person on the own.
On the day before we transfer to another school, Iori told me not to call him Iori anymore for some reason but instead, he wanted me to call him Io-kun from now on.
And just like that we both finished junior high school and proceed to high school. Iori manages to make up for his absences before graduating and decided to come to school every day.
Because Iori came to school for me, I went to his classroom every day like old days. My steps toward his classroom will be lighter than anyone else.
And because I talked with Iori with a smile like in the past, today...
――the obstructive glasses and mask in which Iori hides his face were broken by me.
Of course talking about that is silly, it is the first reason to face.
On the last school day before winter vacation, I also went to the classroom of Iori.
Although he was pretending to dislike it, perhaps, he hates it, but inside he likes it. When I get a moderate physical contact with Iori, a friend from the student council immediately comes to meet me.
When something like school in front never happens, I continued achieving the evaluation of the circumference for myself. I entered the student council because I had the idea. I regret entering now because my time with Iori achieving physical contact was cut down.
And in order to take me back to the student council, my classmate Hina came to speak with me.
When suddenly all people who were in Iori's class were wrapped in a mysterious light.
