I Want to Have a Girlfriend Too - Chapter 15

Court, Witch Trials!

“The trial of Kazuki Satō is now in session.”

　The next morning, I’m sitting in the corner of the classroom, playing trial with the boys.

　I say “trial,” but this is no game. We were serious.

“What did I do…? “

　Our classmates were holding down Kazuki. It is funny to see him being held down from above by several men. Well, I feel good.

　Of course, Kazuki resisted at first, but after a while, he seemed to have given up resisting.

“Shut up! …Yamada-kun, tell us his crime.”

“Hmmph! The accused, Kazuki Satō, has received numerous confessions from female students in school for his good looks and kindness, and it was discovered that he was acquainted with Kagurazaka-san, one of the three most beautiful women in the school. His crime is very unforgivable! “

　Yamada, a classmate of mine, takes a piece of paper from his pocket and reads it out.

“I didn’t think that you had already made a move on Kagurazaka-san… ! “

“That’s why I don’t like good-looking guys! “

“Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill!”

　I guess my peers were not very happy with him.

　They are taking their resentment and jealousy out on Kazuki.

“Silence!”

” ” ” ” …… ” ” ” “

　My words quiet the classroom.

” Is that the reason I’m being put on trial….? “

” ──── you still don’t understand the gravity of your crime.”

　I get up from the chair I’m sitting in.

“Listen! Being good-looking is already a good reason for being put on a trial! Just by walking around, you’ll get the attention of girls, and with the addition of personality and athleticism, you’ll be extremely popular! “

” ” ” ” ” That’s right !!! ” ” ” ” “

“That’s the reason! You’re monopolizing our dreams of popularity, and we can’t let you get away with it! “

” ” ” ” ” That’s right !!! ” ” ” ” “

“So, it’s time for us to take a stand! To eliminate the handsome men of the world! “

” ” ” ” ” That’s right !!! ” ” ” ” “

　The men were so excited to hear my speech. Their screams echoed through the classroom.

　The boys in the class are united by their anger toward Kazuki.

” …It’s the witch trials. Or perhaps Nozomu is just angry at me.”

　Kazuki looks tired, and his shoulders slump down …Well, maybe he’s simply dumbfounded.

“What are you talking about? I’m just summarizing what my classmates’ are thinking and representing them in this trial.”

“What are your true feelings? “

“You gave Kagurazaka the information, and I ended up in a bad situation, so I wanted to use the guys in my class to get revenge.”

“That’s what I thought…”

　I’ll never forget this grudge.

　It’s the reason why I haven’t been able to attack any normal girls these days, and that damned video is now in the hands of my enemies.

　I’m a man who retaliates when he’s hit! Double payback!

“Now, it is the time for revenge! I’m going to execute the sentence! “

” ” ” ” ” Whoaaaaa yesss !!! ” ” ” ” “

　The class surrounds Kazuki.

　clack- clack- clack- (sfx)

　Come on, Kazuki! Now is the time to avenge! Scatter your lives in vain!

” …guys, is this really the time to do this to me? “

　Kazuki opened his mouth slowly in the midst of the crowd.

“Begging for your life? What a waste of time.”

　Even if he did that, the men were already full of jealousy and resentment toward Kazuki. They will not listen to your begging for your life now.

　The evidence of this is that the boys are gradually approaching Kazuki. The looks on their faces are too horrifying to describe here.

“I’ve certainly had confessions of love, and I’ve been childhood friends with Alice. But ──── “

　……Mmm, I have a bad feeling about this…

“Nozomu has been spending every day after school with Alice and Saijouin-san recently, they’ve exchanged contact information, and they were happily going home together yesterday.

” ” ” ” ” …… ” ” ” ” “

” …oops. “

　The guys in the class who were trying to sink Kazuki suddenly stopped moving.

　Then, they all turned around to face me.

　Sadly, I saw them and ────

” ——Everyone… farewell !!!”

” ” ” ” ” Waiiiiitttt !!!! ” ” ” ” “

　――Why is this guy talking nonsense??

　I run away from the classroom.

　Following that, they turned their anger toward me and came after me with blood on their hands.

　…If they catch me, they’ll kill me this time!

“Kazuki, you bastard! I’ll remember this resentment !!! “

　I ran around desperately when the homeroom chime rang.

“──── and I’m writing a reflection… because of what he said.”

“So that’s why you’re writing your reflection in the student council room …… “

　Saijouin looks at me with a dumbfounded look. Stop it, you’re embarrassing me.

“That was amazing, wasn’t it? Everyone only came back to class after the third period.”

　Kagurazaka recalls and laughs a little, perhaps amused by the morning’s events.

“That’s right… aren’t they terrible? They’re chasing after me even after class has started. I’m starting to worry a little bit about their heads.”

“I know. I saw it from my window.”

“Eventually, the guidance counselor was chasing after them too!”

　After that, we were all exhausted from our efforts to escape-and-chase, and the guidance counselor caught us and took us all together to the guidance office.

　I was glad I didn’t get caught, but when I returned to the classroom, I was taken to the guidance office. No wonder.

“I am the victim, yet why am I in this situation? “

“Isn’t it natural? Tokimori-san and the others’ voices could be heard in the student council room.”

“Lately, whenever there’s a problem, Tokimori-kun is involved.”

　These people really don’t understand anything.

　When I’m writing a reflection, I’m usually the one who’s unintentionally involved.

“Anyway, sorry, no meeting today.”

“No problem. In return, I’d like to ask you to do something for me… “

“Saijouin’s request is turning into a threat these days. Is it really a request? “

“Is there something wrong? When I’ve asked you for a favor in the past, it’s always been a proper request. “

“You’re not convincing me.”

　This girl should look back at her past actions.

　You’ve only asked me once, and that one time you made a video and forced me to ask you to do something.

　That’s what people call a threat.

” …Well, okay. So? What is this request? “

“Yes, I’d like Tokimori-san to join the student council.”

　――Ha?
