Surviving With The Power Of Three Save Files

Chapter 8: URGENT MESSAGE

"Hey, want to hang out?"

Hanging by the door of the classroom, I looked over at Izumi. I had come all the way to the 4th grade classes! Look at all the effort I'm making!

"No. I'm good..."

Oi! Oi! Oi!

What do you think you're doing?!

Don't just pass me by nonchalantly like that! You're supposed to say yes then!

Ignoring the other children's looks they gave me, I quickly followed behind him.

"Wait! Wasn't that rejection a little bit too fast?"

Trying to keep the smile on my face, I matched his steps.

Don't look at me with a face that clearly looks bothered! You think I want to get along with a kid?!

"Hideki Yuuma. What do you want with me?"

Not turning back, he continued talking as he left the school. Of course, I followed after him!

"Didn't I already say not to get involved with my fights again?"

"Then why did you give me your name before, if you didn't want me to get involved with you?"

I could see that he stopped for a second. Interesting~

"Not to mention, I'm not getting involved in your fight, I'm just asking you to hang out."

Walking down the street, I continued to push him. You don't know how persistent I am! Witness the stubbornness that I've cultivated by millennias of retrying everything over and over again!

As I continue, I also exit out of any random messages the old man Xarrus sends my way. He's the least of my worries right now!

I don't care if he's actually gonna lose interest in me. After all, being acquainted with Izumi is a lot more profitable! Also, the guy sends too many messages over the tiniest things! I'm fine with not having him stuck to me forever!

As I was thinking to myself, I could see Izumi peek over at me for a bit before sighing in defeat!

"Hah... do what you want then."

Success!

Hahahah! Witness my power, child!!

As I followed him around, I wondered where he was going. We've been walking a while, but I didn't know if he was going home or not. I kind of don't want to be known as the guy that followed a child to his house. That sounds like something you would find on the news...

"Where are you going?"

Seeing his face change, as I asked that question, I laugh to myself. I see you're not even trying to hide your annoyance now, huh.

"I have to meet some people. That's why I told you not to follow me..."

Oh? What type of people are you meeting, for me to be a bother to you?

"Well, any place will be better than going home. Who're you meeting?"

Izumi looked like he was put on a difficult spot, as he didn't answer for a while.

"... there are some bad people..."

...

Wait...

Please don't tell me you're...

You wouldn't... right?

"Geh. It's this brat again"

Suddenly, as we were turning a corner, we were met with what looked like teenagers. They looked like obvious delinquents, and the guy in the front definitely looked like a douchebag!
