How To Ruin A Love Comedy

Chapter 24: Back to School 2

***

Matsuda-kun, have you picked an extracurricular?

Miyuki asked from inside the car.

I replied as I waited for the signal to change.

Kendo club.

At those words, Tetsuya hesitated for a bit, then joined the conversation.

Oh? I was also going to join the kendo club

I already know idiot. If you dont go to the kendo club, who will?

Abominable bastard.

Is that so? Are the club applications tomorrow?

Thats right.

Lets go together after classes.

Alright.

Miyuki, who was listening to our conversation clapped.

Thats great isnt it? Now you can stick together from now on.

Miyuki was undoubtedly wary about Takashi.

If I stuck to a bully like him, she was worried that Id go back to my old ways.

Since she put emphasis on from now on, I was certain.

What are you saying

But why is it kendo of all things? Tetsuya-kun was into kendo since we were young Matsuda-kun were you like that too?

I wanted to join cause it looked cool.

I-Is that so? Thats the only reason?

No, Im joining to pull Renka.

Yeah.

Thats quite like Matsuda-kun I suppose? I hope you dont say that at your kendo club interview.

Why? Will I get rejected?

I cant say for sure But shouldnt you try to leave a good first impression?

Not at all.

A mean bastard changing for the better will have a bigger impact than a person thats nice all the time.

We can see your case as proof.

But thanks for worrying about me. I will think about your advice this one time.

What about you? Are you doing extracurriculars?

I already knew Miyukis answer.

I wont do any clubs, but I am thinking of sending an application to the school council.

Yes, of course a school themed story has to have a student council.

Its a classic rule in love comedies for the heroine to get meet the mc in the student council or band and flirt with him.

In a porn game or an 18+ manga, they would fall into the mcs clutches and slowly becomes his bitch.

It suits you well.

Thanks. I really want to get accepted.

You will certainly get accepted.

Since the sunbaes have a very positive image of you because of the 1st semester.

Even if you dont apply, they might just end up scouting you.

In Dokiaca, the student council is also the disciplinary committee.

That means that later on, there will be a day where Miyuki will be at the front gate, warning or punishing people for being late.

On that day, Ill be late on purpose.

Then Ill do some light skinship as shes reprimanding me, and smile when she doesnt know what to do and ask her to forgive me this once.

Shell be torn between love and the law, then says to come on time next time for sure and would just let me go

And then secretly holding my finger when nobody is looking

That would be enough to get me completely erect.

I conversed with the two of them as I drove until we arrived at the academy.

I stopped the car by the front gate and spoke.

Im gonna register my car, so just get out here.

Oh, really? You could have done it before

Are you gonna nag me from the first day of school?

What can I do when Matsuda-kun makes me do it Then should I just wait here?

Nah. Just go ahead.

At my more serious attitude compared to before, Miyuki was a little flustered with her reply. Al-Alright.

**

Because this wasnt an academy filled with rich students, the packing lot was pretty vacant.

I finished registering my car, and parked my car in a nice spot.

I was going towards the entrance with my bag over on shoulder,

Miyuki-chan! How were you?

I saw the female students from our grade crowding around Miyuki.

As I expected, she is very popular. There must also be a truckload of guys who have a crush on Miyuki right?

But no matter how many times I hear it, I cant get used to chan.

I glanced at Miyuki who was be greeted by everyone, and Tetsuya before switching my destination to the back door instead, and walked alone towards the classroom.

After I got to the corridor, I frowned as Takashi ran towards me from far away.

Ken! Ken!

Its the morning Talk about bad luck

Youre speaking pretty fucking harshly today? Did you forget about how you owe me from when I rescued you last time?

What do you mean rescue You were too scared to say anything until they finished beating me up.

Hmmm But I still brought you home. Shouldnt that be enough?

Yeah, I guess from you, it was more help than I expected.

See? Are you coming to the circle meeting today?

Meeting? I wont come even if it kills me.

You guys can play mini yakuza on your own.

I stopped in the middle of the hall and spoke to Takashi.

Takashi.

Ungh?

Is Yamaguchi Sunbae coming to the meeting?

Takashi tilted his head as if I was asking the obvious.

Hell be there. Hes the circle boss.

Yamaguchi.

Just as I thought before, the guy who kind of got his shit together after becoming a 3rd year.

I will use the fact that he learnt to respect other people to escape the circle.

Boss is bulls Yo, if you go to the meeting today, tell Yamaguchi sunbae that Im quitting the circle.

According to my memory, the circle meeting will start after the 1st class does.

Does that mean Ill be pulled away at around lunch?

?

Takashi blinked.

It looks like he doesnt understand what Ive just said.

If go, meeting, to Yamaguchi, tell, circle, quit, for me, ok?

When I spoke slowly and clearly to him,

Wh-Whaaat!?

Takashi screamed and had an extreme reaction.

At least its not like the classic Japanese reaction ehhhh~?.

At Takashis deafening voice I rubbed my ears, and asked Takashi with a serious face.

Im asking you. Please let him know.

Then I left the wide mouthed Takashi to grab some textbooks and walked into classroom 1A.

Its been a while since Ive been here. A smell that makes me feel like I should be studying is itching my nose.

Inside, about 15 students were enjoying their reunion.

But as soon as I walked into the room, the atmosphere froze.

There were students that would avert their gaze, and even students slowly creeping out of their seat.

I showed that I was trying to change until the end of the semester, and the fact that I didnt make any new incidents were all forgotten now that some time has passed.

This is quite depressing. I tried so hard to clean up the bathrooms.

At least Miyuki understands me, so thats really all I need.

I was thinking positively as I put the books in my desk.

Is our nurse going to have the same treatment pocket as before?

Ill have to check after leaving the circle.

I looked at the ceiling, detached from the world,

Drrrk!

When the door slid open, I moved my gaze towards it.

Miyuki and Tetsuya walked in together.

The students gave a cheery greeting to the only person who could control me, and who also happened to be the class rep.

Miyuki returned all the greetings, then slightly stiffened her expression and made her way towards me.

Matsuda-kun didnt you see us at the front gate? Why did you just ignore us?

Miyuki naturally walked up to me and questioned me with a warm voice.

The entire class appeared surprised as their eyes widened in unison.

Were you surprised that Miyuki approached and talked to me first? You bastards?

This and that happened over the break.

I glanced around the classroom then whispered to Miyuki.

Act like you dont know me for today.

Huh?

Why I say to do it, just do it.

With those words, I gave a look to Tetsuya telling him to take her away from me.

Surprisingly the bastard understood me, and he spoke cautiously towards Miyuki.

Miyuki lets do as Matsuda says Just sit down for now.

However, Miyuki seemed to have no desire to listen to Tetsuya.

Its because of that isnt it? The circle

At least she lowered her voice so I guess thats a good thing?

Thats right. So just go away.

Cant we just tell professor-nim? I want to tell them right now But Im holding back because Matsuda-kun asked me to. Telling us to pretend to not know you is just too much.

The circle exit event does not exist in the game.

But Im confident that I can end the whole thing today.

However, since Im not in full control of the event, I dont completely know how it will go down. And I want to avoid Miyuki being swept up in even just a bit of trouble.

When I looked at her with an expression filled with annoyance, she asked.

Is it that hard to quit?

Whos quitting? I never said anything like that.

You said so last time with your eyes.

Are you like some psychic Im worried about you getting mixed up in this so listen up. You said you trusted me right? Then do as I say.

Was it because she felt my sincerity?

Miyuki pondered for a while, then took a step back.

Alright. But if something like last time happens again, I cant just sit still and watch. Just like how you worry about us, we worry about you.

I knew that the current Miyuki would say something like this.

Even though I saw it coming, Im still in awe!

Come to the bathroom right now.

Lets go for a round. I cant hold back anymore.

I nodded wordlessly, and felt relieved when Miyuki walked back to her seat.

**

Did you all have a good vacation? Im starting the lesson right after attendance.

The students showed their disapproval of the professors words by showering the professor with boos.

The professor scoffed at the students reactions, then spoke.

Ill only give a 25 minute lesson, and you can have the rest of the time off. But, only if everyone focuses on the lesson.

At those words, everyone looked towards me.

.

Hmm Theres a bit of fear mixed in, but look at those strong gazes.

You guys expectations I understand ok?

What are you lookin at?

When I grimaced and stared back at the students, all the gazes immediately disappeared.

Except Miyukis.

She looked at me gently.

As if she is telling me to stop causing problems.

The professor spoke with a surprised expression.

Matsuda-kun, youre here early today?

Yes, well

Maybe it was because you did a good job cleaning before the break, but the other professors said they were surprised. I heard you even cleaned on weekends, is that true?

Who snitched on me? It wouldnt have been Miyuki

Was it the guard that made me write my name on the sheet?

Or maybe another professor?

Anyways, this professor used to disapprove of me quite harshly.

But judging by the professors warm voice, he probably came to like me after hearing stories from the other professors.

As expected of the educated adults, they dont easily forget the favor I did by cleaning the bathrooms, quite the opposite of the students.

Young female profs with boyfriends or husbands, theres a huge penis right here.

Please come spread your legs to your hearts content.

I didnt know that I didnt have to come on the weekends, and since I promised to come everyday until the break, I went to clean.

Thats a good attitude. And I noticed that you brought a textbook. Are you finally coming to your senses?

Are you not going to teach?

The professor laughed at my rude comment and spoke.

Alright. If you dont know something, ask me.

You dare ignore me?

I will show you my power now that Ive been taught by Miyuki.

Was what I was thinking, but as soon as the professor started the lesson after attendance, I was lost.

Even though I was pretty confident since I worked pretty hard, but it is still hard to follow the lesson.

But at least I can understand more than before, so lets take solace in that fact.

I wonder if he was satisfied with my attitude during class?

Even though the professor who continued to glance at me during the lesson, students were still given a break after the 25 minutes as promised.

He told the class to be quiet if they were going to converse, and approached me, who had my head on the desk. (TL Note: Finally they tell me the professors gender lmfao. Was hard asf writing sentences without being able to use he/she.)

I thought I said to ask if you had any questions?

I decided to do as much as I could. I didnt want to take anyone elses time Could you help me with just one thing right now?

At those words, the professor smiled.

Sure. What part dont you understand?

Here, finding the epitaph. They all look like an epitaph, so I couldnt find it.

Alright. Should we go over it slowly? First, this sentence.

The professor began teaching me.

After a 10 minute lesson, I perfectly found the epitaph, and the professor complimented me.

You must have worked hard during the break. Very well done.

If I say Ill do something, I do it.

I was pridefully showing off a condescending look, as I watched the professor approach some of the other students. Then, I ended up making eye contact with Miyuki.

Miyuki mouthed good job.

She looks proud of me.

I pretended to ignore her, and read for rest of the period.

As the bell rang and the class ended, and the professor was leaving after excusing us,

Drrrk! BAM!

The sliding door opened with a big sound.

From the hallway, the 2nd year sunbaes I saw at the hideout yelled out loudly.

Matsuda Ken! Where is this son of a bitch?

I could only cheer inside.

The more these bastards make a fuss, the chances of me being seperated from the circle and being forgiven by the school goes up exponentially.

What are you doing right now? Even if its break time for a 2nd year to come to a 1st year class and

Even when the professor frowned and spoke in a harsh tone, the sunbaes scoffed.

They completely ignored the professor and spoke once they spotted me.

Come to the roof right now.

I assumed theyd call for me during lunch when there was a lot of free time They were surprisingly fast.

Theres no way the exiting ceremony will end in 10 minutes

Are they just not going to care about 2nd period?

To be fair, they already break most of the school rules, so skipping a single class is probably nothing to them.

I stood up from my seat, and cooly walked towards the sunbaes.

Lets go.

After this I will probably be called on by the disciplinary committee.

Since Miyuki isnt in the student council yet, she wont be there

I wanted to see her defending me. Quite disappointing.
