Ch 22

POV Shizuo Hiwari

"92-60-88" the teacher said after measuring.

They have grown again compared to last year. I could feel the jealous gaze of the other girls behind me. I don\'t even drink milk or anything, so why are they so large? My waist has increased as well, am I becoming fat? What kind of body is Nishikawa kun\'s type? The last thought was erased from my mind as soon as it came. My ears became red when I realized the shameless thoughts I was having. I put on my clothes and calmed myself.

Next was measuring the strength and stamina part. I needed to find a partner to pair up with. I looked around, only to see that most people had already picked their pairs. Akari and Hinata were already a pair. A certain girl in the midst of this caught my eye.

"Shimabukuro san, do you want to pair up with me?"

She appeared to be surprised at the sudden sound.

"It\'s fine if you don\'t want to." I said hurriedly.

"Ah, no. I would love to pair with you. I was just surprised someone called out my name suddenly from behind me."

To be honest, the reason I asked her was so that I could ask about her relationship with Nishikawa kun. From the time I heard her call him Ha chan my heart was in constant confusion.

While I was taking her readings, I gathered my courage and asked her.

"Shimabukuro san, what is your relationship with Nishikawa kun?"

"Hee, I never expected you to be interested in relationship gossip Hiwari san. Why do you want to know?"

Her reverse questioning caught me off-guard, and I stayed silent for a few seconds. But just this much cannot faze me.

"I was just wondering. I mean you seemed pretty close to me, but Nishikawa kun has never mentioned having a girlfriend to me."

Her eyes glinted, and for some reason I felt as if the surroundings changed and we were put in a turn-based battle.

**********************************

POV Both Shimabukuro and Hiwari

Shimabukuro moves first.

"Are you really close enough to talk about each other\'s private life?"

Who does she think she is? I am his childhood friend. We used to eat together, sleep together and even bath together. How can a mere classmate compare to me?

Debuff skill has been used. This move can cause Hiwari to have inner doubts and loss in confidence. Her future moves will have less chances of success.

Hiwari

Are we really close? All we do is have lunch together sometimes. A certain memory floated in my mind which cleared my doubts.

"If we were not close, we wouldn\'t have gone on a double date."

It\'s not a stretch to call it that right?

Hiwari has deflected the debuff and has countered. Shimabukuro suffers damage.

Shimabukuro

A do-double date. AAAAAAAAh. I want to go on a date with him too. She spent a whole day with him? But she said it was a double date, that means they went with others as well, right? Hmph, if she thought she could destroy me with that, she is mistaken. I will show her what is annihilating the opponent.

"We are so close that we he calls me Kei chan. Not only that, during lunch, I fed him the food I cooked by hand."

Shimabukuro has used a combo move. Hiwari is rapidly losing health over time.

Hiwari

"Guhh"

She actually fed him? Then the things I was imagining came true? If they are close enough to feed each other, they might as well start going out. Looks like I am going to lose. Will my first love go unrequited? The picture of Nishikawa kun hugging the cat he saved on the first day of school, came to my mind.

If I am going to lose, might as well go out with a bang.

With a blushing face, I muttered, "Ni-Nishikawa kun has squeezed my breasts."

Attack has dealt massive damage to Shimabukuro. Hiwari has fainted due to accumulated damage.

Shimabukuro

Squeezed Boobs. Obviously, to accomplish this objective, you need to be extremely close, I mean on the borderline, but before that, there is another requirement, and that is to have big enough breasts to squeeze. If my previous move was two attacks chained together, then this was one move attacking from two directions. Hiwari san has already fainted. If I can withstand this attack–

My mind became blank and what filled my vision were those massive breasts of hers.

"Ack"

Shimabukuro has fainted as well.

.

Since both participants have fainted the result is DRAW.

***************************

POV Kei Shimabukuro

"Huff Huff"

A draw. I never would have thought that Ha chan would be such a playboy. What is he doing, going around touching her breasts? And Hiwari san as well. I thought she was nothing more than a friend, but she turned out to be a wolf in sheep\'s clothing. If I was a bit more late in transferring, I would have completely lost all my chances to be together with Ha chan.

The worst part is that Hiwari san seems to be a good person. I actually, haven\'t made any friends in class yet, so the fact that Hiwari san paired up with me saved me a great deal of trouble. As I was having these thoughts,

"Aaanh." Hiwari san fell while doing the side jumps.

"Are you alright?"

"I\'m fine" She tried to get up. "Aagh"

"No, you are not fine. You probably have a sprain. Let\'s go to the infirmary." I put her arm around me and took her to the- wait. I don\'t remember where the infirmary is.

"The infirmary is that way" Hiwari san said, pointing to the right.

"Ah, thank you."

"It\'s alright you just came a few days ago." She smiled at me.

Damn, even if I lose, I don\'t think I will hate her.

*************************

POV Shinji Makoto

I want to go home. This much embarrassment is enough.

Isn\'t comparing physical examination results with each other a form of bullying? Today in PE class we were put in pairs and were told to take each other\'s result. As usual, I paired up with Nishikawa. In hindsight, I should have paired up with a person with the same level of athleticism as me.

We had to do height, weight, grip strength, side jumps, sit and reach test, and the standard 100m run. My BMI was fine, and my flexibility was good, but for stamina and strength… I barely made it into the boys\' national average range.

On top of that, the person\'s readings I had to take was Nishikawa. I couldn\'t help but compare our results, only to feel defeated. The worst part was Nsihikawa didn\'t even say anything, but I could see the look of pity in his eyes. Thankfully, it was finally over soon. However, Nishikawa injured himself by falling down when he tripped after the 100m run. I went to the teacher to submit the two sets of readings, while he went to the infirmary to get patched up.

"Haah" I sighed while sipping a bottle of energy drink from the vending machine.

The only reason I came to school today was because of a certain trick the teachers played. As you would have guessed, many students like me skip coming on the day when there are physical examinations. Because of this they have made a new policy. Only those who are deemed fit by the school are allowed in the pool. Yes, since summer is already here the pool is opening, and the only way to attend swimming is if the school sees you as fit for \'strenuous exercises\' like swimming. The only way for that is to attend the physical exams. Apparently, this dastardly idea was given by the student council.

Goddamn student council. Why do they have to make things difficult for people like me? I bet there is a protagonist in there as well. As I was grumbling and complaining, I saw Shimabukuro san walking in the hallway. She seemed to be looking around. I called out to her,

"Hey, Shimabukuro san. Are you lost?"

I could see the relief on her face when she saw me sitting beside the vending machine.

"She walked to the vending machine, bought a drink from the vending machine, and sat down beside me. What happened to her, suddenly so friendly?

"First, I was not lost, I was only searching for the way to get back to the gym. Okay?"

"Yes, yes" I said dismissively. God, do I have to handle a tsun girl when I am tired? No way I am going to battle it out, just accept whatever she says.

"Second, I have a question to ask you." Her eyes turned sharp, as if a hungry snake looking at a mouse. Really, what happened?

"Sure, go ahead." I asked her nervously.

"You are good friends with Ha chan right?" Aw shit. Is she going yandere right now? Activate full mask, suppress all emotions and facial expressions.

"Yeah, but we have not known each other for long."

"Could you have been the one who went on a double date with Ha chan and Hiwari san?"

Those eyes, that pressure. I have decided her title, henceforth she will be called \'The Judge\'. But who do you think I am? A pressure like that is not enough to break me. If you can\'t block it, just deflect. Anybody who plays Sekiro knows that.

"Ah, yes. It was me. But it was more of an excursion with friends, rather than a double date. I mean you need have couples for a double date, right?"

"Whose idea was it?"

This is bad, she is definitely out for blood. Just look at those eyes.

"Ah, I don\'t remember. I think just one of us suggested it and everyone agreed." Dang, if I tell it was me, I won\'t be able to step out of my house safely. She\'s my neighbour bro.

She looked at my face for a while, trying to ascertain if what I said was the truth.

"I would appreciate if I could go on an excursion with Ha chan as well" After saying that her pressure receded like waves on the beach. She got up and was leaving.

Hmph, does she think she can make a fool of me and leave?

"Sure thing. By the way the gym is that way." I pointed. She was actually going in opposite direction.

She turned and glared at me, and then left.

"Phew" That gaze filled with extreme obsession. I feel like she is on the border of becoming a yandere. Hopefully no one will be hurt.

What\'s taking him so long in the infirmary anyway?
