I (30), Who Works for a Black Company and Died While Regretting My Gloomy Life, Started Over From High School! - Chapter 33

33 Regardless of the game, the results are obvious.

“Haha! I heard about it, Haruka!”

The voice I didn’t want to hear the most right now echoed in my ears and brought me back to my senses.

And when I turned around, there he was, the rotten b*st*rd with the handsome face.

The prince, Hayato Mitsurugi, whose stock is currently plummeting, was standing there after suffering an embarrassing defeat against me in the test competition.

This guy… What the hell is he doing here?

“Eh, what? What do you want from me…?”

Shijoin-san’s eyes dilated.

She seemed to be confused by the sudden appearance of Mitsurugi.

“Oh, that’s right! I heard you’re talking to that guy because you needed someone to play the role of a teacher and help you with your studies!”

“Well, that’s true, but what about… that?”

“Then rejoice! From now on, I’ll be the one teaching you!”

Haaaaaaaaaaaaa?

What the hell is this guy talking about!

“I’m far more capable than that stupid small fry over there! I will soon raise your ranking into the top five of the school year!”

”…What’s… that…”

“You…! How low can you become, just to reach out to Shijoin-san?”

Even though he lost to me in our competition, he brazenly ignored his own rule of “the loser never comes near Shijoin-san again!”

“Shut your mouth, you intrusive piece of trash…! What rule you are talking about, what I want takes precedence over everything! I’m talking to Haruka right now! Small fry that interfere with our honeymoon should get the hell out of here!”

(Hey, What’s with the honeymoon you motherf**ker…! You can still talk about such nonsense…!)

I’m sure this guy would never back down quietly after that,but the things he’s spouting and the way he’s acting are far worse and more childish and dizzying than I imagined.

If he’s this shameless, it’s probably impossible to stop this guy with rules and agreements.

“Come on, Haruka, don’t be shy! You don’t need to rely on stupid people anymore… You will be impressed by my outstanding skills as a teacher! I’ll invite you to the Mitsurugi household and teach you myself!

You …! I’m not going to let you keep spouting whatever you want anymore!

Let me have the honor of driving him away.

“I refuse… I have nothing to learn from you.”

I was startled and stopped myself from speaking to Mitsurugi. The words of rejection that Shijoin-san uttered had a sharpness like a blade and a cruel coldness that I had never felt from her before.

“Hey… what the heck… I’m offering to teach you and you’re going to refuse it…?“

Mitsurugi flinched in disbelief.

No, no, I can’t believe he has the confidence that such a proposal will actually be accepted.

“No, to begin with, who are you?”

With that one question, Mitsurugi immediately freezed in shock.

In fact, it was quite severe.

The girl he was interested in didn’t even recognize him, which was probably a shock to this overly self-conscious guy.

“Oh, yeah…! If you don’t remember it, I’ll tell you my name again! I’m Hayato Mitsurugi… and I’m a man on the top, just like you in every way, unlike that small fry over there!”

“Top …? I’m sorry, but I don’t understand a word you’re saying.”

“Top means superior people! You have a different family background and beauty than those other women! That’s why it’s right for you to be with me, a man of the same rank, not some lowly man like that bug over there!”

If you’d just shut up and listen carefully…! To me, you’re the one who is completely lost.

“That’s enough.”

Eh… now, what’s with that voice with such a strong pressure that makes me break out in a cold sweat…

Did it really come from Shijoin-san’s mouth…?

“Suddenly appearing out of nowhere and saying all kinds of unpleasant things…! What do you think you’re doing? You’ve been calling Nihama-kun a small fry, a fool, and a bug, …! Do you even realize how rude you are?”

Shijoin-san raised her voice, revealing an emotion that she never usually showed.

“Nihama-kun has done more for me than a real teacher, making materials and questionnaires for me, even though his own studies are difficult as well! Who do you think you are to belittle him so much?”

She’s angry on my behalf.

That calm and pouty Shijoin-san is getting angry for my sake.

“What are you saying, Haruka…? Why do you care about a small fry like him? A woman like you should be with me and not…”

“From my point of view, I can not understand a single thing you are talking about! All I know is that you are a very rude and unpleasant person!”

Her beautiful face, which usually only has a calm expression on it, is dyed with indignation, and Shijoin-san speaks her words with anger in her voice.

“I hate you! Please never speak to me again!”

After hearing her words, Mitsurugi’s eyes widened and he went completely silent.

He was so shocked that his pride, the foundation of his personality, seemed to shatter like broken glass, and he stood there motionless.

“Let’s go, Nihama-kun! I don’t want to be around this man any longer!”

“Ah, yes…”

Then, as if time had stopped, Mitsurugi didn’t utter a single word, Shijoin-san and I left the staircase together.

“This is the first time in my life where I got so angry! He was a really rude person!”

“My bad, Shijoin-san. Normally, it should be the guy who should be dealing with weird guys like that…”

“It’s not your fault, Nihama-kun! I just couldn’t stand there and stay silent, and I coudn’t forgive him for all the things he said. I was in a really good mood talking with Nihama-kun… but then… Ah, no, nothing!”

Shijoin-san pouted and her anger showed no signs of subsiding.

It was a refreshing experience to see a new side of the person you love, even though dealing with that prince of sh*t was the worst feeling from start to finish…

“Come to think of it, I think that man has talked to me before, but… I don’t care because I’m never getting involved with him again.”

Oh, the usual Shijoin would never say anything like this… Apparently, she was very upset with the rude attitude of the prince.

I guess this is not a good time to tell her the story of how he forced me to compete against him for the higher test score because of her.

She doesn’t seem to want to hear that guy’s name right now anyway.

“Well, I’ll forget about that strange man for now… I wanted to thank Nihama-kun for the study session. First of all, I’d like to ask you if there is any particular food that you don’t like?”

“Hmm? No, I don’t have any particular likes or dislikes, except for maybe some exotic foods…”

Are you talking about buying me some canned food or fruit as a gift to thank me?

Hmm, she doesn’t have to go that far, but if Shijoin-san wants to repay me for my efforts, maybe I should take it…

I was expecting to see such a development, but the development that came out of Shijoin-san’s mouth was not so simple as that.

“Thanks goodness! I was about to ask my dad and mom for advice… Actually, I’d like to invite… Nihama-kun to my house! I’ll make lunch and some snacks for you!”
