Chapter 38 - Izumi Natsumura 11

[IZUMI'S FIRST DRAWING.jpg in the first comment]

Ok, now I need to draw Sotoka-chan and the rest.

"Aaaaaand done," says Ino, leaves the pencil on the table and lays in one of the couches. "Come on, y'all, finish up."

"No, wait, Ino-san," says Sotoka-chan while drawing as fast as she can.

And she looks so damn kawaii desu.

"We just got started,"

"Don't care; I'm done," Ino se estira y cierra los ojos.

Sotoka-chan grabs Ino's drawing.

Juding by Sotoka-chan's expression, that drawing's really ugly.

"Oh, come on, Ino-san," Sotoka-chan stared at Ino dissapointedly.

"Uh, uh, lemme see, lemme see!" I yell and grab the drawing.

[INO'S UGLY DRAWING.jpg in the first comment]

"Hahahahah!" Can't stop laughing XD. "It's so ugly, but you really look like this, Ino! Hahahahahah! You only forgot to draw your coconut haircut!

Hahahah. Coconut haircut.

XP

Sotoka-chan laughs too.

And she looks so god damn kawaii desu!

"Shut up, Izumi, and I don't have a coconut head!" Says coconut head. "You're the one who really looks like the drawing, with your ugly and dirty hair and all those flies because you stink!"

"Nah, I don't think so, but the one who really doesn't look like this is Sotoka-chan. She looks like an old lady here.

Sotoka-chan looks at Ino's drawing and laughs.

"Yeah, I look like that."

"No, Sotoka-chan, you're young and beautiful and perfect—

"Stop it, Izumi-san," says Sotoka-chan.

"Why, Sotoka-chan? If you look like an old hag here is because Ino can't draw."

"I told all of you I can't draw. And hurry up with those drawings."

Oh, yeah, my drawing.

Sotoka-chan. I need to draw my Sotoka-chan.

I need to draw her beautiful and perfect hair.

And her beautiful and perfect face.

And her beautiful and perfect smile.

And her beautiful and perfect body.

And her beautiful and perfect everything because she's so beautiful and perfect at every time and in every aspect and forever and ever, and yes, she is.

[IZUMI'S SECOND DRAWING.jpg in the first comment.]

It's ok, I guess, but I really want to draw myself hugging her.

Or her hugging me.

XD

But I don't know how.

:'(

And she doesn't like my hugs, anyway.

X'(

There's a thin line between love and hate. But how do I cross it?

Now I'm not making any move, so I'm not crossing any line, right?

If I hug her she'll get mad at me, and if I don't she'll get used to it, and when I hug her she'll get even madder.

So, what line should I cross?

:S

Maybe I'll have to ask Hanna-senpai later.

"Come on!" Ino yells 'cause she's a nuisance. "Why you're taking so long?! It's not like you draw that well!"

"Wait, Ino-san, I'm almost done," says Sotoka-chan, and I bet her drawing is a s beautiful as her.

And I still have to draw those two.

"No, I'm already bored," says Ino 'cause she���s still a nuisance.

"Well, that's your fault for finishing that soon," Sotoka-chan replies while drawing.

I should be drawing too.

"I told you I can't draw."

"At least give it a try," says Sotoka-chan.

"My drawing will be bad anyways, so why bother?"

"That makes a lot of sense," oh yeah, Hanna-senpai's also here. "Our abilities are the result of constant, and not just sudden, efforts. Also, we never specify a minimum of technique and quality in these drawings," well, Hanna-senpai's right. She always is.

"Anyways," says Sotoka-chan, "this drawing looks like one a child would do."

"Oh, that's 'cause Ino's a child, haha. Look: she even fits perfectly in that tiny couch," I say and laugh. Ha, she's so tiny she fits in the couch with her legs extended, and she's not laying on the big couch.

She looks kinda like this:

[INO ON THE COUCH.jpg in the first comment]

Hahahahah. Tiny.

"Look, Sotoka-chan," I tell her and show her my drawing, "this is Ino."

Sotoka-chan laughs.

"Look, Ino? This is you and your sensual body," Sotoka-chan laughs even harder.

Hahahah. Sensual body. Ino and her sensual body. Hahahah.

XD

For sensual bodies Sotoka-chan's.

Ino grabs the drawing, looks at it, makes a paper ball with it and throws it in Sotoka-chan's face.

"HEY," I yell, "DON'T THROW ANYTHING TO SOTOKA-CHAN! WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?!"

Ino stares at me, extends her arm towards me and shows me her middle finger.

Then she turns towards Sotoka-chan and says:

"And you shut up, you busty," and Sotoka-chan's face turns so, so, red, and she covers her breasts with both her arms.

And she looks so god freakin' damn kawaii desu this way!

"Shut up, Ino-san, shut up, shut up, shut up, SHUT UP!"

Busty? Well, yeah, Sotoka-chan's the bustiest of the club, but I don't think that's such a great achievement, to be honest, and 'cause of the loose clothes she always wears her breasts are not that prominent, either; I mean, I know they are there and they are big 'cause I feel 'em when I hug 'er, but how does Ino know? Oh, right, 'cause Sotoka-chan has hugged her before. She shouldn't, though, 'cause Ino's such a nuisance, and Sotoka-chan's beautiful and kind and perfect and beautiful and—

"Busty," Ino repeats.

"¡SHUT UP, SHUT UP, SHUT UP, SHUT UP!" Sotoka-chan yells, and poor Sotoka-chan.

And god damn you, Ino. You're really such a nuisance.

>:(

And because of this:

[IZUMI'S THIRD DRAWING.jpg in the first comment]

You god damned coconut head.

"Busty, busty, busty!"

"LEAVE HER ALONE, INO!"

Ino extends both her arms towards me and shows me both her middle fingers.

"Hey, how about we order a pizza?" Hanna-senpai asks for some reason.

But, anyway, I'm kinda hungry right now, so I'll allow it.

"And how do you want it or what?" Ino asks.

"However Sotoka-chan wants," I say and get closer and closer to Sotoka-chan♥. "How you like your pizza, Sotoka-chan?"

"…Hawaiian" she whispers, still her face red and still her breasts covered.

"No, not that one" Ino replies.

"Shut up, Ino-san!" Sotoka-chan yells.

"Yeah, shut up," I say, "shut up shut up shut up."

"No, Hawaiian pizza is an insult."

"And who asked you?!" Sotoka-chan asks/yells.

"We can order two different pizzas," Hanna-san just solved our problems right now. "One can be Hawaiian, and the other one, of something else. Or we can order a large or an extra-large pizza and half of it can be Hawaiian, and the other half of something else, but generally speaking two medium pizzas have more pizza than an extra-large one," Hanna-senpai grabs a piece of paper and starts writing. "Let's say a medium pizza has a diameter of 12", and an extra-large, of 16", so they both have a radius of 6" and 8" respectively. Now, in order to determine the area we use the formula A=πr2 in both the two medium pizzas and the extra-large one, and we compare the results.

"For the medium pizzas, because we're asking of how much pizza is in two medium pizzas, we multiply the formula by two, replace r with 6, and the result is… 72π.

"Now, for the extra-large pizza we replace r in the formula with 8, and the result is 64π.

"So we can conclude that two medium pizzas have more pizza than an extra-large one, but not by much, apparently."

[HANNA-SENPAI'S CALCULATIONS.jpg in the first comment]

"Now we only have to investigate the prices of both medium and extra-large in order to determine the quality/price ratio—

"Or we can just buy two mediums at Cheap Cheap Pizza®," I say. "They always have a buy 1 get 1 free promo."

"Well, yeah…" says Hanna-senpai gloomly. " In that case two medium pizzas are the best option. Two extra-larges will be too much for just the four of us. And hopefully you'd told me sooner, so we wouldn't have spent so much time, pencil and paper on such useless calculations of mine, even though I don't really mind; I find doing such calculations to be very entertaining, but I don't know if you agree—probably not because I haven't met anyone who shared that hobby with me, but you never interrupted me nor told me to stop, so I think I can assume there's a chance you also find math entertaining, or am I wrong?"

"Not really

"Just order those pizzas already. But I'm not eating that crap of Hawaiian pizza," says Ino "the nuisance" Yamamoto. "And I don't how why you like it; sweet and savory doesn't go together.

"Of course they do, I say, "bittersweet chicken's delicious."

"But bittersweet is bitter and sweet, you dumbass. Those flavors can go together; but not sweet and savory. And if you don't believe me, go eat your crappy Hawaiian pizza and you'll notice how it'll taste either barely savory or barely sweet, and that's because those flavors counter each other, and also that food is for the mediocre and indecisive; if you want something sweet, eat something sweet, and if you want something savory, eat something savory, but don't eat both because—

"Nobody cares," says Sotoka-chan, and finally her face's not red anymore. "Anyway, order both pizzas, Izumi-chan. One Hawaiian, and the other one, pepperoni or something."

"No, order the meat special one," Ino.

"Yeah, whatever. Can you order them, Izumi-chan, please?"

"Ok, just because it's you" I stand up, grab the phone and order those pizzas. No biggie. The guys there even know my address already.

"I'm sooooooo bored!" Ino yells because she will always be a nuisance. "Finish up your drawings."

"Hold on; I'm almost done," says Sotoka-chan while she draws as fast as she can. She looks so kawaii desu I could hug her, but she'll get mad if I do it.

:'(

"Ok, ok, here it is," Sotoka-chan shows us her drawing and it's beautiful:

[SOTOKA-CHAN'S DRAWING.jpg in the first comment]

"WOW, SOTOKA-CHAN, IT'S ALMOST AS BEAUTIFUL AS YOU, 'CAUSE YOU'RE SO BEAUTIFUL, SOTOKA-CHAN!" and I can't handle myself anymore, so I go hug her.

"No, stop it, Izumi-san," Sotoka-chan starts pushing me away, but:

"You took so long for this?" asks Ino, who was, is and always will be a nuisance.

"It's way better than yours," Sotoka-chan replies.

"Yes, but you took way longer than I did, and Izumi looks like a porcupine or something, and you look like an old hag."

"That's because I'm an old hag. All tired and used."

"That's not true, Sotoka-chan! You're a young girl with a sensual body, and everyone knows that; that's why the guys ask you out all the time!"

Sotoka-chan's face turns so, so, red, and she tries to push me away.

"No, shut up, Izumi-san, shut up, shut up, SHUT UP!"

"But it's true, Sotoka-chan, you have a very sensual body, and I'm feeling it right now."

"WHAT?!" Sotoka-chan's face turns even redder, and she tries to push me away even harder.

And I let her go.

Sotoka-chan covers her breasts with both her arms.

"SHUT UP, SHUT UP, SHUT UP!"

"Ok, you're ugly, then. Just shut up," I believe Ino tells that to Sotoka-chan.

"YOU SHUT UP, INO-SAN, BECAUSE YOU'RE THE UGLY ONE!" Sotoka-chan yells, and we all gasp. "Oh, no, sorry, sorry, sorry, Ino-san. It's just that, I don't know, it just came out, and it was because you called me ugly, and it was my fault, my fault, I'm so, so sorry!" Sotoka-chan approaches Ino and… hugs her?

But Ino pushes her away.

How dumb of her.

But Sotoka-chan hugs her again.

And I'm so, so, so, jealous.

>:(

"No, no, no, don't touch me; I don't want to infect you with my ugliness, and stop smearing your boobs all over me," Ino pushes Sotoka-chan away.

Sotoka-chan's face turns so, so, so red and lets Ino go.

"Shut up, shut up, ugly. Ugly ugly ugly ugly ugly ugly ugly—

"Busty busty busty busty—

"UglyUglyUglyUglyUglyUglyUglyUglyUglyUglyUglyUglyUglyUgly—

"No, Ino-san's not ugly," Hanna-senpai puts herself between them and defends Ino again. "Maybe her body hasn't developed according to her age, and her eternally morose and aloof expression goes against every modern convention of beauty, but—

"Shut up, Khanna-san!" Ino yells. "Fucking giant!"

"I'm no giant," she replies, "I'm only tall. But from your perspective I may look like a giant."

"SHUT UP, YOU FUCKING GIANT!"

"I repeat: I'm no giant."

Yes, you are, Hanna-senpai. You're so giant that if you lay on Ino's couch, first, you'll crush her, and second, both your head and your legs will be hanging in the air.

Something kinda like this:

[HANNA-SENPAI ON THE COUCH.jpg in the first comment]

Hahahahah.

XD

Oh, right, I have to draw Hanna-senpai too.

---------------------------------------------------

[IZUMI'S FOURTH DRAWING.jpg in the first comment]

"Did you hear that?" Hanna-senpai asks outta nowhere. "I think is the pizza delivery."

The pizza, eh?

I stand up, grab Sotoka-chan by the hand and:

"Don't worry, Khanna-san, we'll get it. Come on, Sotoka-chan."

"What? Why? Wait, Izumi-san," Sotoka-chan, gets up, and I take her to the door.

I open it, and there's a delivery guy outside. He's on his 20's, I think.

"Hi, did you order two medium pizzas?"

"Yes, we did," says Sotoka-chan.

"Ok," the delivery guy gives us the pizzas, and I grab them. "It will be ¥2,000."

"Ok," I give the pizzas to Sotoka-chan and give ¥2,000 to the delivery guy.

I haven't charged Hanna-san and Ino for this.

"Thanks," the delivery guy says, but before he leaves I ask:

"Hey, mister, don't you think this young girl has a sensual body?"

"WHAT?!" Sotoka-chan asks/yells. Her face's so, so, so red.

And she looks so god damn freakin' amazingly kawaii desu this way!

"Mister, don't you think this young girl has a sensual body?"

"WHAT?! WHY YOU'RE ASKING THAT, IZUMI-SAN?! SHUT UP, SHUT UP, SHUT UP!"

"NO! YOU'RE NO OLD HAG! YOU'RE VERY YOUNG AND BEAUTIFUL AND SENSUAL AND PERFECT, AND DAISUKI DESU! Or what you think, mister? Does she have a sensual body or not?

"Well—

"YOU SHUT UP!" Sotoka-chan yells at the delivery guy before he says anything.

And I bet he was going to say Sotoka-chan has a very sensual body 'cause his face is very red.

And 'cause Sotoka-chan has a very sensual body.

Du'h.

"I'd better leave," says the delivery guy and leaves.

"Mister, mister, just say yes or definitely. Mister?"

Sotoka-chan pushes me as hard as she can.

"WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?! ARE YOU STUPID OR WHAT?! HOW COULD YOU HUMILLIATE ME LIKE THIS?! IF I TELL YOU TO SHUT UP, YOU SHUT UP, OR IS THAT HARD FOR YOU?!" Poor Sotoka-chan starts to tear up.

And so do I.

"SUMIMASEN, SOTOKA-CHAN, SUMIMASEN! IT'S JUST THAT FOR ME YOU'RE SO BEAUTIFUL AND PERFECT THAT IT HURTS ME TO HEAR YOU TALK THAT WAY ABOUT YOURSELF! HOW COULD YOU SAY YOU LOOK LIKE AN OLD HAG?! YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL, YOU'RE PERFECT, YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE WHO DOESN'T LOOK AT ME LIKE I'M SOME WEIRD BEING! AND YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE WHO'S KIND WITH ME, YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE WHO LOVES ME; THAT'S WHY DAISUKI, DAISUKU DESU, SOTOKA-CHAN! YOU'RE EVERYTHING FOR ME! YOU'RE THE ONLY THING I HAVE LEFT, AND—

Sotoka-chan hugs me.

And I hug her too.

"Sorry. The pizzas," I don't know since when Hanna-senpai's here, but she takes the pizzas and leaves us alone.

For some reason I can't stop crying.

Even though Sotoka-chan's hugging me and I should be the happiest ever 'cause Sotoka-chan's hugging me—and she's hugging me hard—and this is what I've always wanted, and the few times she hugged me this way I've been the happiest ever I can't stop crying.

What am I so weird?!

Maybe that's why everyone look at me that weirdly.

So weirdly Sotoka-chan rather lets me go.

"Don't you cry, Izumi-chan," she tells me with a beautiful smile. "But please stop talking about my body. Come on," she grabs me by the hand, and we go back to the living room.

The pizzas are in the table.

Ino's still laying on the couch. She has a piece of paper, and she's looking at it. But she puts it down, stares at us and gets up.

"Why are you two crying about? You two tasted that Hawaiian pizza or what?"

Sotoka-chan extends her arm towards Ino and shows her the middle finger.

Ino replies in the same way.

"No, really why are you two crying, though? Why, Khanna-san?"

Hanna-senpai shrugs.

I and Sotoka-chan approach the table and sit down.

"You two are weird, but look at Khanna-san's drawing," Ino says and gives Sotoka-chan the piece of paper she was looking before.

[HANNA-SENPAI'S DRAWING.jpg in the first comment]

Didn't expect less from my senpai Hanna-senpai.

Wow, they're so cute, Khanna-san!" Sotoka-chan yells. "But you missed my glasses."

"Yes, but I don't know how to draw them and I didn't want to ruin the drawing. But thanks for your comment. And I didn't draw our bodies because I don't know how to do so.

"You really look kawaii desu in this drawing, Sotoka-chan. Come on, take your glasses off," I take her glasses off before she tells me not to.

AND SHE LOOKS SOOOOOOOO BEAUTIFUL!

"NANI! ¡AHHHHHHHHHHH! ¡SHINJIRARENAI, SOTOKA-CHAN! YOUR BEAUTY INCREASED 10,000,000%, AND I ALWAYS THOUGHT THAT WAS IMPOSSIBLE, BUT NO! ¡AHHHHHHHHHHHHH! DON'T PUT YOUR GLASSES ON EVER AGAIN! OR MAYBE YOU SHOULD; THE WORLD'S NOT PREPARED FOR YOUR BEAUTY AT FULL POTENTIAL!"

And I give her her glasses back.

She puts them on again.

She still looks incredibly beautiful.

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

"Well, whatever," says Sotoka-chan. "Let's eat."

"No, Izumi has to show us her drawing first," Ino says just to be a nuisance, as always.

But joke's on her: my drawing's almost perfect.

Almost.

"No, no, wait," and I make some corrections as fast as I can until my drawing reaches perfection:

[IZUMI'S FIFTH AND FINAL DRAWING.jpg in the first comment]

"How cute, Izumi-chan! But you missed my glasses."

"It's ok at bet," says Ino, but I'm not gonna even bother.

"No, it's pretty good," says Khanna-senpai—and I didn't expect less from her. "You look exactly as the cartoon on those flyers. I didn't know it was you."

"Well, yeah," I reply. "Who else could it be?"

"I don't know," she replies to my reply. "Because the club's name is ANIME LIFE I thought that it may be an anime character."

"And speaking of otaku stuff—

"I'M NOT AN OTAKU!"

"Yeah, whatever. Why do you want these drawings?" Ino asks.

"Yeah, what's the surprise?" Sotoka-chan asks. Oh, yeah, I told 'em to draw ourselves, and when they asked me why, I told 'em it was a surprise.

And the surprise is:

"Well, I wanted to watch Sotoka-chan's drawings," I say, "'cause I was sure they'll be as beautiful as she is 'cause she's beautiful and everything she does, she does it beautifully—except rejecting my hugs :'(—but yesterday I thought we could make an ANIME LIFE web page or something. www.animelife.org. The we could post, I dunno, things we like, and if someone likes 'em too, they can join our club.

"That's a great idea, Izumi-chan," says Sotoka-chan, "but why the .org?"

"'Cause we're an organization," I say.

"I don't think we are, Izumi-chan."

"And why would someone want to go to that page?" Ino asks. "Everyone hates us."

"That's not true, Ino-san," Ino-san replies. "What happened last time was just a misunderstanding."

"Yeah, right, and people aren't spiteful," says Ino sarcastically.

"Well, not everyone hates us, anyway," Sotoka-chan says, "and we only need one more member."

"And how are we going to get people to go to that page?" Ino asks.

"With flyeres," and with that, I solve all our problems XD. "We put flyers everywhere that only have QR codes that send them to our web page. People's gonna be curious about the QR, so they'll follow it and they'll go to our page, and maybe they'll like it and join our club.

"And what if we text them the QR code instead?" Sotoka-chan asks, and that's a great idea.

But I wanted to make those flyers.

:'(

"That's a simpler and a more plausible idea, but for that we'll need all our schoolmate's phone numbers.

"We'll just ask Yuri for them," I reply.

"Yuri Okabe?!" Ino asks/yells 'cause she's and eternal nuisance. "Sure, because last time you spoke with her, everything went out just fine."

"I told you, that was a misunderstanding," Sotoka-chan comes out to defend me. "And I believe I have Yuri Okabe's number, so I can just text her, and no one will find out."

"I hope you're right," says Ino. "But why you have Yuri Okabe's number?" asks Ino, and that's a great questions.

Why Yuri wants to keep in touch with my Sotoka-chan? Sotoka-chan's mine! She should get someone else!

>:(

"I don't know," Sotoka-chan replies. "I think she gave it to me a little while ago. Anyway, let's eat some pizza."

"Right, right," I say and I grab a slice of Hawaiian pizza 'cause that's the one Sotoka-chan likes, and I like it too. It's not my favorite, but it's all right.

"So, we only need to make the web page and send the QR codes, right?" I ask.

"I guess, but who knows how to make a web page?" Hanna-senpai asks.

And no one answers.
