Reiryuu Academy Student Council

112 Out and Best Friends

"Wait! Maiko!"

Bud grenades chase Maiko.

Maiko continued to run even when the bud grenade spoke so loudly.

Though bud grenade feet are fast, Maiko is usually fast because she is just an athletic department.

When the bud grenade finally grabbed Maiko's arm, the two of them were running to the corridor on the fourth floor where no one was.

"... Ha, ha..., Maiko"

……

"I'm sorry. I'm really, really sorry"

Even if you pull Maiko's arm hard, Maiko will never see the bud grenade better. Even Maiko smiled and turned to the call of the bud grenade. He gently called me by the name 'bud grenade'.

But now, no matter how many calls, Maiko doesn't respond to the bud grenade's voice. That was sad and the bud grenade apologized over and over again. That's all I could do to bud grenades.

"Maiko...... I don't want Maiko to hate me..."

Student union officers are special to budding grenades. But as special as Maiko is. She is the first precious girl to call me "best friend" about the buddy grenade.

"Maiko..."

I've called Maiko's name so many times I don't know.

That's how Maiko finally saw me about the sprouts.

But when I saw Maiko's face, the bud grenade could no longer say anything.

"... eh, bud grenades are... not bad"

That's what Maiko says even though he's stuck with his nose.

"So... I was going to be flat.... because you did... pretend I didn't get it either."

Maiko's face was wet with tears, and when she thought those tears flowed because of herself, the bud grenade's heart tightened to bitterness.

"I... didn't realize"

The bud grenade grazed his lips.

"I was so full of myself... desperate to hide it, I had no idea what Maiko looked like..."

The bud grenade was nothing more than self-loathing.

No matter how much more than a crowd can do, bud grenades are irresistible to connect with one friend.

"But maybe I am..."

Bud grenade closes his eyes when he is truly clumsy. Still swallow what you have to say, and if you don't put it into words, nothing will be conveyed.

"I want to be friends with Maiko.... also, can't you do that anymore...?

The bud grenade opens his eyes and asks.

My vision was starting to blur. Still, when it was strange for me to cry, I caught tears that seemed to fall zero with one thought.

"To my friends - I can't go back"

Maiko says.

The bud grenade opened his eyes. I was ready to be told that.

But when they actually told me, that readiness blew up somewhere.

"... no,"

The bud grenade grabbed the sleeve of her uniform, gnawing as she clung to Maiko's arm.

It won't all go back. Even if he returns to the state he was in before he was confessed to Takimoto, he will surely repeat the same thing again. I'm sure nothing will change. So there's no point in regretting anything. Still, I can't help regretting it. An unparalleled tear flows down the eye of a bud grenade.

"No..."

I've never told anyone like this before.

I became weak, and I felt that way about the head of the bud grenade.

But that's a mistake. I just didn't have any friends that I wanted to be with until this happened. I just didn't try to make it. The bud grenades were now pulling all they could to stop the thought that they had easily truncated that they could not.

Maiko pulled off such bud grenade arms.

"Maiko......!

"Bud grenade. Me, even bud grenades were hard... I know exactly what I mean."

I don't like Maiko saying it as if it were the last word, and the bud grenade blocks my ears. But Maiko's voice reaches right.

"Bud grenades are sweet, so are the things you've hidden for me"

"No, I don't."

The bud grenade denies it, but Maiko shook her neck to the side.

"So just one last time... let me say something terrible"

The expression 'at the end' stabbed the bud grenade in the chest.

Now it's all over... The bud grenades can't even breathe anymore.

"I'm annoyed. I envy the bud grenade, and I'm just annoyed to think why it's you. - I hate it."

"......"

Forced voices are unspoken, all air and disappear.

"bud ho, sorry...... i still suck"

Maiko said so and laughed, taking the bud grenade arm she herself pulled off and hugging her.

"..., Maiko, n"

"... you can't really hate me"

The bud grenade opens its eyes.

I doubted my ears. Due to his desire, the bud grenade was so surprised that he seriously thought he might be hearing an illusion.

"You're my dear best friend. There's no way you can go back to being a friend,... idiot"

Maiko buries his face on the shoulder of a bud grenade. The word "idiot" heard in his voice gently swept into the bud's heart.

"... ugh"

The bud grenade tears didn't stop. Breathe and you'll flood everything out of your loose tear glands.

This was the first time a bud grenade showed tears in front of others. I was ashamed of myself crying, and there was no limit to the tears flowing backwards from my thoughts even when I tried to stop crying.

"You, cry too much"

"Maiko, because... you're crying"

Bud grenades and Maiko stare at each other with messed up faces.

And I blew it out pussy.

- I don't have any friends, and I don't want to...

The words I used to say to Mariko with a flat face came to my bud grenade head.

I'm sure if I pierced that idea, it would be painful and indelible - I didn't have to know this thought.

But at the same time, I almost ended up not knowing how happy and happy I was.

There was not a single grain of worry in the tears that fell zero from the laughing bud grenade.

"It was too late for both of us...... are you okay? Both of you"

Said the chairman of the committee, who had seen the bud grenade and Maiko back in the classroom and had written something down on his notebook.

"Eyes, they're bright red."

Before the chairman of the committee, who said as surprised, the bud grenades and Maiko laughed face-to-face at each other.

"Nothing? It's the Chairman's fault. Hey, buddy."

"Yeah, it's my fault, it's my fault"

Bud grenades and Maiko say pleasantly, and the chairman of the committee finds himself having trouble reacting.

At those two, Takimoto came back to class one foot away.

"You guys..."

I looked at the two of them and tried to say something worryingly, but Maiko opened his mouth before Takimoto said something.

"Bud ho, did you hear that? He hit Takimoto's finger with a tonkachi himself."

I say, making sure Maiko turns his gaze on Takimoto as usual and ears on the bud grenade. The voice was loud enough for the gesture to reach Takimoto's ear.

"What?"

Takimoto is bewildered by Maiko's words and actions that he never expected.

Meanwhile, the bud grenade opens his mouth with a gesture that, imitating Maiko and turning his gaze to Takimoto, punches this again in the ear with a loud voice.

"Absolutely, I made a mistake circling around cool."

"Nanhara! So say Chi, ah......"

Takimoto always argues out loud. Takimoto was not there that could only be sprouted with awkward, toothless, bad words.

Takimoto stopped saying words when he realized he was like that, and he laughed without thinking haha.

"I'm not fooling around about me, and you guys get to work!

"Wow, it can't be the reverse gilet or something"

"I was so embarrassed."

The buds start arguing with the three of us, as usual. But the last few days have had no sinister vibes at all. Just like before, a fun exchange that soothes everyone in the class.

At some point everyone in my class was laughing and watching the three arguments.

"Yes, that's it. All three of you, work."

The chairman of the committee, smiling, grabs his shoulder and goes in between. And with the exception of Takimoto on his way to work, he assigned the next job to Shoots and Maiko.

"Then Maiko, please don't do that."

"Copy that. I'll help you when you're done."

Sprouts and Maiko work as well as usual.

Takimoto was horrified to see those two behind him.

If two people broke up because of what happened a few minutes ago, now it was a pitiful man decision. But it's also true that you returned it to me.

"Looks like you and Nanhara made up."

The chairman of the committee looks at such a waterfall book and says:

Takimoto shouted "eh," an upset round. To the chairman of the committee, who looks strange, Takimoto asked about a matter he had not been convinced of earlier in himself.

"You know, committee chairman"

"What?"

"You know who I like?

The President of the Commission turns a blind eye to sudden questions. But I immediately understood the question and calmly answered "Yes".

"You're Nanhara-san, right?

Takimoto clogged his voice, "Ugh," because it was returned in the definitive system.

"Am I that easy to understand?

"Yep. Pretty much enough to make me laugh already"

That is what the President of the Commission says and goes back to work.

Afterwards, the fact that Takimoto was screaming and knocking one person down became a laughingstock for Group F.
