Chương 41: ONE MORE PERVERT - [I]

A/N: I am back...

================================================================

When both of us, I and Himawari, reached the bus, we noticed that the front door of the bus was wide open. What is this? Why am I getting some bad vibes after seeing this? Is something going to happen, huh, if I enter the bus, hmm?

I know this is the most normal thing for every bus to remain at the front door if it is idly standing or for the sake of passengers to enter the bus effortlessly. But still --

I shouldn't sweat too much about this, or we will be late for school. But --Oh, right. Why don't I send Himawari first, but what if something wrong happens to her, then --

"R-Ren?"

"Hmm?"

"W-we should enter or we might be late for the school."

"Yes, let's enter together. Shall we?"

"O-okay."

When she agreed to me by obediently nodding her head, we entered the bus together. I took a deep breath as I entered the bus because I had a hunch that something would happen inside.

And it did happen.

"Oh, you two take your seat, or everyone present here, including me, get ready to be lectured by teachers."

"Y-yes. R-Ren, do you want to sit together?"

"Alright."

As we both took one step inside the bus, the driver of this school bus asked us to take our seats, or else we would be late. Good Grief.

"..."

As soon as I got to view the inside of the bus, or to be precise the students sitting there, my mind immediately thought of an absurd idea because my hunch again came true. The hunch was that there might be any heroine present here on the bus, and here I was standing looking at all the four heroines, who were my classmates sitting idly while radiating some dark aura that seemed to be full of jealousy as well as the look of discontent. Well, well.

'Do I have any power which increases the chances of my hunches to become true?'

[NO, YOU DON'T.]

"..."

"R-Ren, w-what is going on here?"

As I was thinking about whether me having any sort of power or not, the girl sitting behind me, who was still holding onto my hand like she didn't want to let go of it, asked me this question and it did bring my mind back here.

And when I was going to answer her question, I turned my face to her side to notice that she was shivering a bit... Is she terrified by someone, present here? No, right? Or --

No, maybe the most appropriate reason for her acting like this is because of the intense gaze she is getting from some people sitting here, or one can say, my heroines.

Well, I know why are they jealous, it's because I am with another girl, moreover holding hands with her. But what can I do here? I am trying to break free but her grip is so strong that if I try to use force on her then she might get hurt... Tch. Himawari...

So, here I am still holding her hand even though we are sitting on the bench. Good grief.

I might get to see some 'action' soon, no maybe on this bus or if I get some time from this then in the class... But I just wish that there would be no --

...

"Aah~ Kaneki-san~ Don't~"

As I was thinking about the possibilities that might become true and happen to me by these so-called heroines of mine, I was this much lost in thought that I didn't even notice my actions... I was nodding my head as the possibilities just continued to increase in my head, and when I turned my head while doing the action of continuously nodding my head I was welcomed by something soft and then --

A girl's voice can be heard in this intense and silent atmosphere inside the bus. The voice was new to me, but I did feel that she wanted to make me feel embarrassed by saying these words; as I sensed no embarrassment from her voice, it seemed like she was okay with what I had done. Is she some pervert who likes to be -- No, her reaction was like a girl who is doing this because of her amusement. Hmm?

"Sorry, sorry..."

"Ah~"

I said this as I slowly made some distance between both of us, but --

[YOU HAVE UNLOCKED HEROINE [ORIGAMI TOBIICHI]]

[ORIGAMI TOBIICHI [CLINGY PERVERT]

AFFECTION: ?5 (??????????)]

Wow.

Another heroine, huh?

...

Moreover, a pervert, huh? On top of that a 'Clingy' one, hmm? Well, I could only wish that she would not be like that pervert whose affection is increasing even though I haven't met with her since the last time. Yes, her affection has already crossed 80, no, maybe 85.

If she is like Sakayanagi Arisu, I don't think there should be any harm to me but still, their action would be different than any normal heroine of mine and maybe -- but whatever as there is still a good point also. I mean, this might help me gain some extra affection from --

"R-Ren, w-what are y-you --?"

"""HUH??"""

Oh, man.

Himawari did make a 'big' mistake this time. I mean, she doesn't need to call me by my name when there are so many people around us, but she did. Even I have told her not to call me by my name multiple times when we chat online. Because of this about every girl present here yelled in surprise. Well, the loudest was from Shikimori-san, and even the Komi-san yelled a little but it was not that loud. Still, I heard her.

Now, back to Himawari, she has to call me by my surname, even if it is just Kaneki. How can she do this? How can she be this careless? But again, maybe it is all intentional. If that's the case then she is not that innocent, huh?

Along with the shout, now multiple eyes are intensely looking at me and Himawari, and her grip on my hand also tightened. Huh, for god sake.

Well, I will deal with this somehow. But what is the deal with this girl, my new heroine? Huh? She is still standing at her spot which is just behind me. She hasn't taken any steps until now. Don't tell me, she wanted to sit on top of --

No, no... There is no way, right?

"Um, Tobiichi-san, why are you still here? Do you want --"

"Oh. You know my name, Kaneki-san?"

[ORIGAMI TOBIICHI: +2 AFFECTION POINTS]

"Of course, since we have been classmates for about two months. How do I not know?"

"Hmm, you are right. Well, this is my seat..."

"Oh, I see. Then --"

"Yeah, and while I was gone to talk with one of my friends... You both entered the bus and sat on my seat."

"Hmm... Well, sorry, I guess... Then, later Hima --"

As I said this and was going to stand up from her seat because I thought of giving the next seat to Himawari. I should get another seat as there are many other empty seats still left. But, yes, I would not sit with other heroines or any girl, I decided to sit on the last bench of the bus where there was not a single soul lying right now, or maybe there would be no one else who would take that spot --

"Wait, 'Ren' --"

When I again heard my name to be called but this time it was not my childhood friend, it was --

I literally forgot about one thing that 'Perverts are not considered normal, even in normal conversation at normal times.

Good Grief.

The reason she gave to both of us, Himawari and me, didn't make sense to me, but on the other hand, Himawari reluctantly accepted her reason. So, now I am sitting with the newly unlocked heroine named Origami Tobiichi.

And when she successfully sat on her seat, she started looking outside and then she began to touch me (my hand) whenever she got the chance. What a weird girl! But again, her title did say clingy as well as pervert. So maybe this is a normal thing for her, I guess.

Still, isn't this act considered sexual harassment?

Well, it's not like she's touching me anywhere inappropriate. I know it's just my hand that she kept touching.

It's been five minutes since the bus started moving. The surprise, or maybe not, thing is that the bus continued to stand by at that spot until Origami sat on her seat. I somehow think that the system, or to be precise the goddess is behind this. But I can't blame them all the time, because if I had come here before the time I arrived then maybe this thing, unlocking a new heroine, never happened. Hmm --

"Hmm~"

When I heard this sound and turned my head to where the speaker was, to see the pervert was still going on with this. I mean, the touching of my hand by using her hand is still going on while producing these sounds which is, I am sure, making the other girls, except my heroines present on this bus, think of me as a pervert, creepy, or worse than this. No, maybe heroines are also thinking like that. Well, well. I think it's enough --

"Origami Tobiichi-san, what are you doing, huh? You don't know how much of a dangerous guy I am... And, what will you do if I come at you and --"

As I said this while formed a small grin on my face, only to make her feel flustered a little. But, since she is not normal unlike some of my heroines, she said something that even made me feel irritated a little, on top of that, she even interrupted me.

"Oh, then come at me."

Hmm... I see.
