Mixers, it's the thing popular dudes do to search for a girlfriend or just hang out with some girls
"so are you going to join?"
the one asking me to join isn't a boy, but a girl.
"I still don't understand why?"
Emma who asked me to join her out of the blue answered my question with a smile
"I want to try new things! and if you're there with me it would be a lot safer!"
she puts way too much trust in me that it's hurting me
"it's fine, but if things go bad I'm not taking any responsibility"
I'm getting paid just to hang out with a cute girl there's no way I'd reject such a thing
"by the way are you free to date? you don't have a fiancee or something?"
she laughed at my question and answered
"my father won't force anything I don't want on me, and about dating...I have someone in my mind"
so she has feelings for someone? is it me? it has to be me right? she doesn't even talk to any males!
"I see"
I tried to keep my calm, that's it! the end of my lonely highschool life!
before I noticed we were already in a karaoke room.
three boys and three girls spending time together in a closed room, for the girls they're not ugly nor beautiful.
but for the guys they're quite handsome compared to an average guy like me, just by noticing that I understand why was Emma invited here. she's only a bait
"how about we introduce ourselves?"
a boy with a brown hair started the conversation
"I'm Shinohara Tarou, I'm in the Oujin private school, second year"
I see, he has the looks, the money and is acting like he has the personality too. he's definitely trying to hunt Emma as his perfect partner
"My name is Watanabe Emma, I'm from Sukisu highschool first year, glad to meet you"
her smile is as perfect as always.
the rest of our introductions didn't matter at all after hearing her
"Tch, she's taking too much attention how should we attack?"
the girls whispered to each others, unfortunately for them I can hear their whispers very clearly
since Emma is just so perfect she didn't allow the ither girls to have a chance with any of the boys.
after about half an hour the two girls stood up suddenly
"we are going to the bathroom now, you're coming too right Emma?"
unaware if what are they planning Emma agreed with a smile
"hey, Sawano right?"
"yeah what's up?"
Shinohara started talking me without his mask, just as I thought he's a piece of shit
"you're not close to Watanabe are you?"
"are you jealous or something?"
he stood up right beford me and patted my shoulder with a smile
"you're ruining our mood so you can go home you know?"
"that would be inconvenient to me, the drink I asked for isn't here yet"
the other nameless mob stood up and started yelling at me
"you don't understand do you? we're not asking, we're ordering you to fuck off"
I'm not even standing in their way so why are they acting like I killed their families
"I don't really want to use violence you see I'm a pacifist"
surprisingly they started hitting me, not that I actually care since the most they can do is leave some traces, so should I just leave them until the girls return?
"I have a bad feeling"
"why the fuck isn't this bastard reacting!"
I slammed their heads together to finish it quickly, both of them fell on the ground giving me the chance to leave the room
the girls toilet isn't far from the room we were in so I reached it very quickly
"why are you so stubborn?"
"we're just going to ruin it a little bit"
I entered the bathroom casually as I checked the surroundings, as I can see they're trying to cut Emma's hair.
"Huh? what are you doing here!"
the girl A started shouting all of a sudden
"I'm here to take a shit, calm down"
"it's the girl bathroom leave now!"
"I'm a young maiden in my heart, it's harsh to kick me out"
both of them look far weak, Emma should be able to take both of them without trying so why is she trembling?
"let's leave it here and nobody is going to get hurt, what about it?"
even if they're garbage they're still highschoolers so hitting them doesn't feel good
"what are you going to do? hit me?"
the girl B which looks like she's the leader of her group got closer to me as she started talking shit
"you don't know who's my brother? if you touch a single hair of mine you wil-"
*Slap*
"I don't really care about your brocon shit, can we just end this?"
"you dare to hit a girl?"
*Slap*
"I'll kill y-"
*Slap*
""I'm sorry""
that took sometime we had a fruitful discussion, as I thought violence isn't the answer at all. look at the girls their cheeks are so red they're dying from the embarrassment of doing such childish things
"is this a Deja vu?" commented Emma with a smile
at least she's not scared anymore, and now that I did something a bodyguard would so I won't feel about wasting the money I get
"wanna go back to the room? our drinks should be there soon"
"what about the two boys?"
"Ah...they went home don't worry about them"
after hiding the bodies, I asked Emma something
"you are good at sports right? you should know some ways to fight back"
she didn't answer for a while, if she decided to not answer I'm not going to force her to
"I...I can't stop remembering bad memories when I'm in such state so my body reject to move"
she suffered a lot from kidnapping and bullying that she won't defend herself even if she could...
"we can work on that together I'll help you"
I'm not sure how much can my help really affect her but just being there for her should be enough to give her some confidence.
"You are really nice, please take care of me "
"Sure"
I'm not that nice, but rejecting that is what nice people do.
***
we spent some time singing and fooling around until she had to return home
"thank you Aru!"
"don't worry about it, it's my job"
she smiled and entered the special car that was ready for her
"she must be really lonely.."
"yes she is"
another handsome boy talked me today, am I getting popular with the wrong gender?
"girls don't like guys who talk suddenly like this"
"I don't see you as someone who understands girls though"
"boys don't like it when you hurt them like this"
I really don't want to know who this dude is, I'm already done today and I just want to go home and sleep
"what kind of martial arts did you learn?"
"the slap of shame art, it's my orginal wanna try it?"
"I'll have to reject your offer"
I don't feel any bad intentions from him, but at the same time he know that I'm Emma's bodyguard is he some kind of stalker?
"it's fun talking to you, let's talk again at school"
"maybe we shouldn't, meeting a single time is a precious experience"
he ignored me and walked into a private car, he's a rich kid too.
I wish I just don't meet him again...
