Soshite Shoujo wa Akujo no Karada o Te ni Ireru Chapter 16

SOs.h.i.+TE SHOUJO WA AKUJO NO KARADA WO TE NI IRERU CHAPTER 16

 

“It must be this.”

Putting on my uniform, I tied my bangs in one bundle. Yup, my field of view brightened.

I had seen obento’s featured on TV while eating breakfast the cute kyara-ben (TL:character lunch boxes)  and colorful lunch boxes. If the obento’s were like that,  then it would be a waste to eat them. Hurry up and come already sports festival!

Since Yuuya-kun had been standing at the doorway looking at my face, I smiled at him but somehow ended up with a flick on the forehead.

Yuuya-kun then proceeded to ride his bike to school but there was still  a red bike left. Is it this mothers? Or maybe it is Aika-chan’s?

I want to ride the bike. Ringing the bell as you run through the sunny tree-lined streets. Let’s ask about it next time.

I got onto the train and stared at the scenery outside. Looking at the shrines, libraries, and many other places I want to go always interests me no matter how much I look at it.

Getting off the train, I noticed something s.h.i.+ning near my feet. It was-

“U-, Umausa-chan!”

A keyholder with Aika-chan’s favorite mascot, Umausa-chan. Not only that, it was Umausa-chan eating a meat bun!

Umausa-chan is a cute rabbit character wearing a horsehead. It is rare for Umausa-chan to be eating a something.

The key I picked up had a keyholder with Umausa-chan eating a meat bun. To be able to see this, lucky! If it is a premium item, Umausa-chan seems to be doing different actions. I definitely want to see what the other ones are doing

“This was a lost item, wasn’t it. Let’s drop it off to the station staff.”

This looks like house keys so it will be inconvenient if a person lost it. I pa.s.sed it to the station staff and headed to school.

As I got closer to the school, I saw Tanaka-kun’s friend and just as I was going to greet him,

“It has to be B group’s Uchimura-san right?”

Huh? By B group’s Uchimura-san does he mean Kana-chan? I remember she said she is with Mayu-chan in the B group.

“With even a slight movement, it’s bounces with flexibility.”

“It’s all about the size of the breast. I want to bury my face in those voluptuous b.r.e.a.s.t.s~”

“The chests are the romance of all men right~”

The b.r.e.a.s.t.s are the “romance” of all men. I wonder what does that mean. Do larger b.r.e.a.s.t.s contain more “romance” than small ones? To have all of men’s dreams in these……

I placed my hands on my chest. Unlike Kana-chan’s large b.r.e.a.s.t.s, my b.r.e.a.s.t.s do not contain the dreams of all men. I feel kind of disappointed.

“Good morning, s.h.i.+nozuka-san.”

“Ah, Tanaka-kun. Good morning.”

“Your hairstyle  today is cute.”

When I turned around, my hairstyle was praised.

Because of his soccer practice, his skin has a healthy tan. How nice it is to have healthy skin. I wonder if he doesn’t have practice today.

“What happened?”

He thought I, who hands are on my chest was weird.

I wonder if he also that feels “romance” to girls with bigger b.r.e.a.s.t.s. U~n, somehow, I feel vexed. My chest somehow feels queasy.

“s.h.i.+nozuka-san?”

“Does Tanaka-kun also like bigger b.r.e.a.s.t.s?”

“Huuuhh!?”

A re, his tan seems to be getting redder.”

“Wha-, Wha-”

“Hey~, Satos.h.i.+. What happened? Your face is red.”

Noticing Tanaka-kun’s surprised voice, his friends can closer. Taking no notice of his friends that came closer, Tanaka-kun, with his face still red, closed and opened his mouth. He somewhat looks like the fishes in the aquarium.

“As expected, a man’s “romance” is big b.r.e.a.s.t.s. I heard that it is best with one that is full of dreams.”

“Geh-, You heard our conversation?”

As if uneasy, they averted their eyes. Was it something I wasn’t supposed to hear?”

“So it was you guys huh……”

“N, no. We didn’t think that she will hear us!”

With a low voice, he grabbed his friend’s shoulder and glared at them. S, scary.

Eve when his friends hurried away, Tanaka-kun did not change his expression. Did he maybe not want anyone to know? If this continues, it will be hard to keep his friends.h.i.+p over this disagreement!

“It is okay! I won’t say a word about Tanaka-kun liking girls with big b.r.e.a.s.t.s!”

“…..A re, Is that Tanaka-kun from the Soccer club? Nah~”

“So Tanaka has a breast fetish huh.”

“…………”

“Sorry Satos.h.i.+. Really sorry.”

This time, he is even more depressed. Due to my voice being too loud the girls pa.s.sing by overheard us. I’m terribly sorry. I apologized over and over again and each time, Tanaka-kun told me not to be bothered by it. His kindness knows no bounds!

“And, b, breast size doesn’t matter. As long as you love each other, whatever type you are, doesn’t matter.”

“Really?”

“Yeah. So don’t worry. Also, s.h.i.+nozuka-san is……very attractive so.”

He clenched his teeth and smiling as if he was embarra.s.sed. To be praised that I am attractive, I’m happy. Somehow, I became embarra.s.sed.

“Thank you Tanaka-kun.”

“What’s with this atmosphere.”

“It’s fine, isn’t it? Satos.h.i.+ seems happy too.”

“I’m very happy to be able to become Tanaka-kun’s friend. Please take care of me from now on.”
“……Yeah, Me too.”

For a second, his expression tightened up. Was it my imagination?

“Nothing got through her. Even after she lost her memories, her villainous side was still left. Furthermore, the dense side too.”

“Hang in there Satos.h.i.+. We’re cheering for you.”

I headed to cla.s.s with Tanaka-kun. “I’m going to do my best today too!” I said with enthusiasm.

 

Practice for the sports festival increased, As the boys were practicing for the cavalry battle, the girls gathered to talk discuss who was they thought was coolest. Girls are girls huh. The sight of the sweating boys were all very cool so I excused myself from joining in the talk and cheered for them instead.

“Hey, since s.h.i.+nozuka-san is part of the student council, then you must know which sport each of them are partic.i.p.ating in right?”

“Ho e~”(TL:j.a.panese sounding please. This is another variation of “Huh?”)

I didn’t think that they would come talk to me. I let my guard down and let out a weird voice.

“If it was Sakaki-senpai’s I know but for the others, I have no idea.”

“You know Sakaki-senpai’s? Pleases tell me!”

Ofu. the girls rushed at me. I heard that the student council were very popular. This girl must be their fan. I can understand. Sakaki-senpai is very cool.

“E~to, I believe it was the 50M dash, cavalry, and the cheering squad.”

“For real! We will be able to see Sakaki-senpai in a Gakuran(TL:A uniform)!

“I will have to take a picture. Let’s ask if we can take a picture together!”

“I definitely not miss the cavalry battle too! I cheer for him!”

Such enthusiasm. The eyes of the girls gleamed like a wild beast.

But if it was Ichinose-senpai on the cheering squad, I guess I would also be this excited. I mean he will be wearing a Gakuran! I’ll want to keep a picture in a picture frame.

Before I know it, I joined the girls on the topic about sweets. It was very fun. Though the teacher got angry, I was introduced to recommended shops. Gufufu (TL:This is a laugh) during my weekends, I’ll go move my feet and try them out.

As I headed to buy lunch, I met Mamiya-senpai holding her Obento.

“Good afternoon, Mamiya-senpai.”

“Good afternoon. You’re going to eat lunch now?”

She is in Nades.h.i.+ko mode. I had thought that she was similar to Anryu-senpai but it was totally different. Even if the smiles look similar, Mamiya-senpai’s smile calms me down and even makes me smile. Anryu-senpai’s smile……a re?

“Aika?”

“Y, yes. I am heading to get lunch. Are you going to eat with Ichinose-senpai?”

Opps. after recalling Anryu-senpai’s smile, my reaction slowed.

“Kazuki was called by the teacher so I am having lunch alone today.”

“You’re going to eat alone……umm, would you like to eat with me?”

Food tastes better when you eat it with someone. Eating alone is very lonely.

“Thank you for inviting me but I’m not very good at cooking so it is embarra.s.sing to show others.”

“I’m also a horrible cook. I had tried to cook curry but Yuuya-kun… … oh, by the way, he is my younger brother. I was scolded many times and in the end, Yuuya-kun made most of it. Actually, to tell you the truth, I have never crack open an egg.

“For real!?”

Nades.h.i.+ko-san’s mask is falling.

“Kohon(TL: This is literally a “*cough”). If you promise not to laugh, we can eat together.”

“Yes! Thank you very much. I’ll quickly buy my lunch.”

“The cla.s.sroom to the left of the Student Council is empty so I’ll meet you there.”

I hurried to the lunch booth since I must not keep her waiting. At first, I was scared of going down the stairs but now I have gotten use to the rhythm. I have grown a lot since the beginning.

An egg sandwich and a seasoned cod roe onigiri. Not forgetting to eat healthy, I grabbed a cup of salad and went to pay.

Heading up is my skill of skipping steps! Though I was holding onto the railing. As expected when I had reached the third floor I was panting hard. Even so, this is fun.

When I opened the door to the empty cla.s.sroom and headed in, the cla.s.sroom was dark because the curtains were closed. Let’s open the windows.

“I’m sorry to keep you waiting. Is it not too dark with the curtains closed?”

“It’s fine, it’s fine. If it was opened, I can’t stretch my wings.” (TL: Meaning she can’t relax.)

“Why is that?”

“Nn~, you see, everyone kind of have this image of me. I don’t really want to break their dreams. I don’t really mind if it was exposed but I promised someone.”

“A promise?”

“Fufu, it’s a secret.”

I wonder why Mamiya-senpai does not to change her Nades.h.i.+ko image in front of others. It is no lie that both sides of Mamiya-senpai are cute, the bright Mamiya-senpai is great.

A promise. I wonder if it was with Ichinose-senpai.

“Now then, Ittadaki masu.”

“Ittadaki masu.”

I glued my eyes on Mamiya-senpai hands which were opening her bentou’s lid. I can’t help but be curious. What type of bentou will it be. It must be those colorful bentou’s I see on TV.

Feeling excited, I peeked and became speechless as I saw the contents of the obento.

“…………”

Black. It’s pitch black.

It’s understandable to put seaweed on top of the rice but to think that even the side dished are the same color. My mouth was left hanging open as I stared at the bentou without even the c from the word colorful.

“Aa~, an expected reaction. I’m really bad at cooking.”

Mamiya-senpai looked embarra.s.sed as she smiled bitterly. What have I done. Even she said herself that she was bad at cooking, what am I doing making her more disappointed.

“This is my first time ever seeing a pitch black bentou. I don’t know how it tastes, but this can only be made by the original(TL: can also be “strange/fantastic/eccentric) and creative Senpai. It is a very unique bentou.

“Un. You are not following-up” (TL: I need help with this sentence! フォローになってない)

Ahー……I should have been more careful. After all she agreed to eat with me. I wanted to make this a fun experience.

Even though I gave her unpleasant thoughts, Senpai still kindly strokes my head seeing that I was feeling down.

“It’s fine. I already know that the appearance looks bad. Come on, let’s eat.”

She really is gentle. Ichinose-senpai must have fallen in love with her because of how kind she is.

“Gori, Gari” (TL: This is literally what was written: ゴリッ、ガリッ)

“Eh”

My eyes which had teared up at her gentleness dried up at once.

Eh, eh? I felt like I heard that sound coming from Mamiya-senpai’s mouth. A re? I wonder if she was eating ice or something hard. But Mamiya-senpai’s chopsticks were carrying that black substance into her mouth. ……Mamiya-senpai, what exactly is that black substance?

“Is something the matter? Are you not going to eat?”

“Um, what did Senpai eat just now?”

“This? Mash potato ……like things.” (TL: this sentence will sound weird if you include the “……” from the original. It is just like “Mash potato-like things)

I didn’t know that mash potatoes were this hard. The hospital food never had any hard thing. I wonder what the flavor tastes like. I want to try it.

“Do you want to try? Just kidding.”

“I want to try! Senpai can have one of my egg sandwiches in return.

”Eh, is it really okay for me to have one?”

Just casually trading side dishes, I also had wanted to do this. With a bit of worry, Mamiya-senpai gave me the black substance.

“!!?”

The instant I place the substance in my mouth, I couldn’t tell whether if it was bitter or painful. As the unknown flavor spread out in my mouth, I felt my conscious fade away when the seaweed brought back memories. (TL: Not so sure about this sentence: 脳裏に懐かしい子が出てきた)

“Wait! Hurry and come back!”

“Aika!”

 

“Ha!”

When Mamiya-senpai frantically shook my shoulders, I regained my conscious once again.

A re, I think I just saw Tens.h.i.+-san. He seemed to be panicking over something. But I am glad to see that he was very energetic. I will also do my best to live a healthy life too Tens.h.i.+-san!

“Are you okay? You scared me when you stopped moving all of a sudden and had no reaction whatsoever.”

“Yes. I am okay.”

“I’m sorry. Kazuki told me ‘Your food are murder weapons’ but you told me that you wanted to eat it so I got happy. I mean normally just with this appearance, no one would want to eat this.

“What matters in cooking is love!”

No matter how clumsy, it is delicious as long as the feelings from the cook are in it. A re? Speaking of eating, I ate the black substance but I don’t remember the taste.

 

“……thank you Aika. No matter how bad the taste is, as long as there is a person who will eat until the end, you can’t give up, right? I will try my best to make Kazuki say delicious!”

The smile Mamiya-senpai have on now is not the Nades.h.i.+ko-san’s kind smile or the bright smile that makes everyone feel energetic. Mamiya-senpai has a smile of a girl in love.

“……Senpai likes Ichinose-senpai right?”

For Ichinose-senpai, she is even trying her best on her bad subject cooking. For him to say delicious.

“N~, it’s a secret.”

The Senpai having on the face of a mischievous kid is very cute. Surely Mamiya-senpai must like Ichinose-senpai.

Unable to turn my eyes away from the changing expressions. Ah, no wonder Ichinose-senpai fell in love with Senpai. Even I like Mamiya-senpai.

“Senpai has a lot of secrets huh.”

“Fufun. A mysterious woman is said to be attractive.”

“I see. I also want to become a mysterious women.”

“That might be impossible for you.”

Guwa. It had been denied in one sweep.

Even if being mysterious is impossible, I want to be an enchanting person. Let’s show off my good points. Not to wish for the things I don’t have and to take care of what I have.

……what are my good points?

“I can’t get bored looking at Aika’s different faces. What were you thinking about?”

“Since I can’t become a mysterious women like Senpai, I was thinking about showing off my good points. But, I couldn’t figure out my good points. Ah, my good health is my good point right?”

My health is my best point. As long as you’re healthy, you can do anything. Yosh (YL: This is like “okay!”). From now on, I will put health first!

“Ahahaha. I agree. The Aika now is the best. I liked the Aika from before but I also like the Aika now. Though we had only spoke a little together.”

“Senpai……”

Smiling, Senpai gently stroked my head with her warm hands.

“When I speak with Aika, I feel warm. It soothes my heart.”

My vision seems to be getting blurry. The people around Aika-chan were all gentle people. I wonder if it is okay for me to be this happy.

I want to pay them back for all the kindness they gave me. I want to pay them back so everyone will be able to smile happily.

“I also love Senpai!”

“Really? Hehe, thank you. We have a mutual affection right?”

After that, we promised to practice cooking together. But since the both of us are horrible at cooking, I’ll try asking Yuuya-kun for help since Yuuya-kun is good at cooking.

After we finished eating our lunch, we headed to the cla.s.sroom together. We somehow ended up talking about the upcoming sports compet.i.tion. I was surprised when I heard that Mamiya-senpai was going to be in the cheering squad. Moreover, she will be doing the cheering.

“Though it was just fine with a Gakuran, a portion of boys and girls complained that ‘girls should be the ones do the cheering’ soー”

“Senpai in a cheering outfit will definitely be beautiful. I will cheer you on okay?”

“Which compet.i.tion is Aika looking forward to the most out of the ones you are going to partake in?”

“It is the bread eating contest.”

Similar to Sakaki-senpai’s reaction, a high laughter ran throughout the hallway.

“Bread eating is that right? The one Keisuke proposed. I’ll definitely watch it.”

“Yes! I will do my best.”

Because Sakaki-senpai is also cheering me on, I definitely can’t lose this one. Once I head home, it is training timeー!

“Really, you have become really cute.”

As she petted my head,

“Ah~~~!!”

Suddenly a loud voice ran out from the front and when I looked forward, in front of me stood.
