Chapter 53: Heresy Trial! Aren’t You the One with Flowers in Both Hands? (2)
At least compared to the lot who while half-crying Leas was being followed and laughed at when the Panty-Flash Monster Villain appeared — no, comparing is rude.
Probably the thinking is “Talking with the likes of us won’t be fun; rather from Leas’s perspective isn’t it unpleasant?”
That’s why when I said I’d call Leas they got flustered, and when I said she’d be shocked they stopped.
If these guys had been involved with Leas in the original, a somewhat better ending would probably have appeared — but because both sides are convinced “I am a nuisance to the other,” no matter how they struggle it’s parallel lines. If you don’t force them to cross a bit they will never get involved for life.
“Sorry; I’m happy you invited me but — today I have a promise with Reiko.”
“Wait a sec.”
I immediately operate the smartphone and send a message to Reiko’s smartphone.
’Somehow I got entangled by males who like Leas, so I want to throw the person herself in there. If nothing urgent, you also come here and eat?’
’What is that, it sounds super interesting so I’ll go watch, in seconds.’
And a stamp of a croquette-mole dashing with full force is pressed.
Or rather this character, is it a croquette or a mole; even if it’s a croquette and a mole, why are they mixed.
“Yosh, it’s fine Leas; Reiko’s also coming this way… you guys did it; another flower delivery completed! Ora, quickly stick on new desks; the two can’t enter.”
Ha, yes.
So, is that so.
In that kind of feeling the males start moving desks with movements like rusted tin toys. The name of the rust is tension. Somehow already everyone’s facial muscles aren’t working, and their legs are trembling gaku-gaku.
While observing that state, Leas asks as if warily.
“Um, is it all right? When I come you seem unable to talk freely, so after all reservation…”
“It’s fine it’s fine; these guys came to hang me because on Sunday I was having flowers in both hands. They just don’t know what to do in front of the real flowers; stand firm.”
“Senjumaru, I’m happy you’re comforting me but stop the obvious lies. As you can see it’s a body without a fragment of femininity, right?”
Mainly the chest and height, she probably means. Looking down at her own body she smiled as if self-mocking.
Actually Leas is quite tall for a girl, and her chest is flat. Certainly there are parts that deviate from the features generally called “girlish.”
But from my eyes Leas’s body type is suitable to be called slender or model body type, and I can’t possibly think it’s unfeminine.
“——But that’s good.”
And.
Perhaps thinking the same as me, one of the males moving desks while nervous muttered as if to himself.
“She’s slender and beautiful and her hair is silky and cool yet kind, and the smile she shows casually is super cute aaaaaah I’m dying of reverence! What virtue did I accumulate in my previous life; why was I able to obtain the right to fully enjoy the happiness of breathing the same air as such a person ooooh!”
“Ou, even from a male perspective it’s getting creepy so close that mouth; you’ll regret it after calming down.”
The tension has broken through the heavens and the feelings are completely leaking.
Although they are words of praise, normally if such words are thrown at you the only impression you can get is “creepy.”
“So— is that so? No, I feel it’s overdone…”
You shouldn’t be able to get it, but.
Leas is completely not normal in that area so all okay. The males including the Chairman are putting on expressions like “Eh? Is that just now allowed?” and looking at each other’s faces, but yeah, limited to Leas it seems relatively allowed.
“…Um, normally she’s sharp, but when she smiles it’s a slightly soft smile and the gap is good, right…”
“Good…”
“That…”
“Also, the low exposure has a premium feel and is good, right.”
“When she was entangled by a thug, the amazing movement that suppressed him I still remember… cool and cute combined looks the strongest; from the side watching I die of reverence.”
Seeing the situation where almost suicide-charge-like actions are scoring critical hits, the males start leaking voices here and there.
Rather than evaluation toward a classmate, the mood is like when males are talking about an idol among themselves. Really, normally it would end with being completely put off. Actually the girls in the classroom are making faces like “Uwaa…”. I understand I understand; that’s natural.
“No, um, even if you suddenly say that kind of thing…!?”
But for Leas whose fundamental self-evaluation is too low, it was apparently sufficient sweet-talk.
For her who as a high peak had never been touched by anyone, having her appearance or personality praised face-to-face is an unknown phenomenon. Among the males throwing various words of praise, she is flustered while flushing her face red.
“Yosshaa Haga Reiko here at the disastrous scene— uwaa, not a typo but really a disastrous scene, senpai-tachi! It’s a pleasant picture so let me take one—!”
No, rather than photo, recording would be more interesting, right?
While saying that kind of thing Reiko immediately holds up her smartphone. This girl, thinking she’s outside the mosquito net and is at ease.
“You guys! A junior girl has kindly come; not only Leas properly praise this side too! Apparently men who blatantly change attitude aren’t popular with women!”
“Ha? Cho, what are you saying Senpai Shusawa—”
As if interrupting Reiko’s words, the males started opening their mouths.
Yes, these guys whose tension has become strange in front of Leas will do even things they would never do normally—!
“Your chest is pretty big and erotic, right.”
“When you often run or jump and the skirt flips I get excited; even though I know it’s spats I end up looking.”
“Your hands are pretty clean, right; the shape of the nails is also neat and that area is super to my taste.”
“There’s a childhood-friend feel, right.”
“I understand.”
“The sense of distance of being able to go from veranda to each other’s rooms between neighboring houses, right…”
“…Senpai-tachi, it’s a bit normally creepy so can you stop around there?”
A straight face.
Not unfortunate but natural; it can be called an extremely proper reaction.
But Leas who had been observing the state tilts her head as if wondering.
“…Is something no good? Aren’t you being praised for having a healthy body and being far more approachable than the likes of me?”
“Leas-senpai… no well, um, from now on wouldn’t it be better to learn various things a bit more…?”
“Right. What’s this; it feels like even though I fumbled the judgment is all success.”
“!?”
Even if you make a face like “I have no allies” it troubles me.
Frankly the males’ words are literally equivalent to a fatal failure fumble, yet why are you displaying an effect on the level of critical. There’s a limit to being easy.
——If it was the type of guy who hides malice and tries to get in, she would cut him down with one stroke, though.
That area is sensitive precisely because she is a Sacred — a champion of justice.
Precisely because of that she can understand that they are praising with pure emotions. At words like “Leas-san is cute!” “Reverent!” “Here! Please to this seat!” “You, recommending your own chair…” she is trembling while bright red.
“…Well, this in itself isn’t a bad thing.”
The atmosphere from when we first met of “I have to work hard alone” has been considerably lightened lately.
Of course, not everything has changed.
The sense of mission that I must protect everyone with my own hands is still strong — but that itself isn’t a bad thing.
Just, the same as water having a lethal dose, the sense of justice or the resolve to protect someone to the end if excessive becomes poison.
Smiling age-appropriately like this, being troubled, being embarrassed — spending such days and resting the heart while trying to be a champion of someone’s justice is by no means a bad thing.
“Ou you guys, praising is fine but properly eat too. You won’t last the afternoon classes.”
While saying that to the male group noisily surrounding Leas, I eat the meal — at that time, I suddenly felt a gaze.
Wondering what it is I direct my gaze to the corridor. What was there was males who looked rough.
——Those guys.
I remember.
The lot who were following and laughing at Leas when the Panty-Flash Monster Villain appeared.
They glared at the males and Leas who were noisily having fun with an annoyed look, spat, and left.
While putting on an expression that seemed to say it’s not amusing.
