After a few minutes, Maron finally stopped licking Sairenji, but she was still sighing while occasionally letting out erotic moans, honestly right now I'm glad I made the people leave, this scene was many times more compromising than the one with the delinquents earlier.
Kenichi: "Sairenji... Are you... Okay?"
Haruna: "Haa... Haa... Haa... Yes... S-Sorry Saruyama-kun... Haa... Maron usually does that to me all the time"
Kenichi: "Don't worry... I guess that's her way of showing you... Affection"
Maron: "Woof... Woof... Woof..."
This dog is amazing, even without understanding animal language I can slightly understand what he's saying.
Kenichi: "Anyway... You said earlier that you had to go back home, right?"
After a few more sighs and fixing his clothes that got wrinkled after Maron licked his entire body. I'll admit, he may not be a pervert anymore, but Sairenji's current appearance almost made a very close friend of mine wake up from his sleep.
I had to do my best not to get an erection in the middle of the street, damn, how the hell does Rito do to not have a reaction to these kinds of scenes, whether in the manga, anime, and here in real life, I always see him walk away as cool as a cucumber after his ridiculous perverted accidents happen to him.
For now I'm just going to blame the Hanma bloodline... It's definitely not because I'm the one who's tempted... I mean it... Seriously...
Haruna: "That's right! I have to go back to make dinner for my sister! With everything that happened I had forgotten about it."
Kenichi: "I see... Then let me walk you home, it's not safe yet, those guys might be lurking around here."
Hearing this, Sairenji immediately became nervous as her entire face blushed.
Haruna: "I-I can't bother you like that... Seeing all the bags you're carrying, you must be coming back from shopping... You must be tired... Besides, my house isn't that far away, it's just a few minutes from here..."
Kenichi: "You're not bothering me, and I want to talk to you for a while."
Haruna: "E-Eh! Do you want to talk to me!?"
I hadn't noticed before, but this girl blushes quite easily.
Kenichi: "It's nothing serious, it's just that looking back, despite knowing each other for quite some time, we've never had a proper conversation... Also, you must have some questions about my change in appearance, right? We can talk while I accompany you, don't worry, this is not a bother to me, what do you think Maron? Should I accompany them?
Maron: "Woof...Woof...Woof...Woof..."
As if supporting my words, Maron began to bark and jump happily.
Kenichi: "Well, it seems that your noble protector gave me permission to accompany you as your bodyguard assistant, what do you say, Ojou-sama, do you also want me to accompany you?"
Looking at the two of us for a few seconds, Sairenji couldn't help but laugh with a happy expression.
Haruna: "Hehehe... Moo~ Saruyama-kun don't make that kind of joke... It's okay, let's go together... But you don't have to I don't think you feel obliged to tell me about your change"
Kenichi: "Don't worry... Besides, talking to other people about your problems sometimes helps you vent a little and feel calmer"
Haruna: "I see... Then, if you don't have any problem with me, you can tell me whatever you want, I assure you that I will never tell anyone"
Kenichi: (Heh, you don't have to tell me that, even though we've never talked alone, I know you very well, not only because of the knowledge of To Love-Ru, since Rito fell in love with you he has never stopped telling me about all your good points, I know that you are a kind girl who would never do something like that)
With everything settled, we began to walk slowly to his house.
*You managed to ruin a cliché moment of the protagonist Yuuki Rito*
You received: Fortunate destiny
---------------------------------------------------------
*Narrator's POV*
While Haruna and Kenichi were talking they didn't notice that Maron sat down and slowly began to defecate in the middle of the street, when he finished, he discreetly began to walk next to Haruna, being a smart dog only he knew why he had done that in that place.
*Yuuki Rito's POV*
*5 Minutes after Kenichi and Haruna left*
Rito: "Haa... Haa... Haa... Haa... Haa..."
What's happening to me? I was about to eat one of the delicious dishes that Mikan prepared for me, when suddenly I had this bad feeling.
It's like a voice was shouting at me to run in this direction. Honestly, it was a pretty unpleasant feeling. I felt like if I didn't run, I was going to lose something very important to me, but I didn't know what it was. I felt desperate. I think this is the first time in my life that I've run so fast.
And just when I got to what I think was my destination...
I slipped...
I know this is the usual thing... But yeah... I slipped...
It was like the other day when I slipped on those banana peels...
Luckily, since this happens to me so often it doesn't hurt as much when I fall anymore, I curiously looked at what I slipped on.
Rito: "What is this? A liquid... But... Why is it brown? Is it chocolate..."
Is this the bad feeling I've been feeling? Still scared, I reached out and touched it. To my surprise, it was quite viscous. My curiosity grew more and more, so I brought my hand to my nose and smelled it.
Rito: "Sniff... Sniff... Sniff..."
Rito: "..."
Rito: "..."
I don't know how long I was paralyzed... But when I finally finished smelling it... A single word came out of my mouth.
Rito: "THIS IS CRAP!!!"
*???'s POV*
*A few minutes before Kenichi chased away the delinquents*
I had a lot of fun today, I should go out with Ranko more often, I feel like I've been distancing myself from her a bit lately.
While I was lost in my thoughts, I saw several boys in school uniforms walking down the street.
???: (Eh... But it's the weekend... Why are they wearing school uniforms...? Wait a second... That's Dai-kun...)
As I looked curiously at those boys who looked like delinquents, among them I saw an old friend from school, his name was Mitarai Dai, I was quite surprised, it's been a while since I've seen him.
Amused, I approached slowly, making sure he didn't see me. I wanted to play a joke on him like old times, and just when I was about to call him.
???: "Dai-"
Dai: "Hey, do you want to hang out with us? Don't worry, I assure you that you'll enjoy it."
Suddenly, Dai and the other boys who looked like delinquents surrounded a girl. At first, I didn't know what they were doing, but I felt like I knew that girl from somewhere.
???: (W-Wait a minute... That's not Haruna-chan...)
To my surprise, the girl they had cornered was Sairenji Haruna, the representative of my class.
Because of my Gal appearance, the other girls always tend to ignore me. As soon as classes started, everyone had already formed their own groups. Luckily, there were several girls in the class who had similar tastes to mine, so it didn't take me long to make friends. The only bad thing is that Ranko is in second grade, so I can only talk to her in the dry areas.
But despite all that, I knew Haruna-chan very well, classes just started this week so I still didn't know her well, but even so, she approached me as if nothing happened and treated me the same way she treats everyone else despite my appearance which is often misunderstood, she is a very cute and kind girl.
That's why what I was seeing right now infuriated me, those seven idiots were clearly sexually harassing her, and my old friend Dai was leading them, I had always seen him as a nice and handsome guy, but the face he was making now was really unpleasant, it's like the look all the boys in my class have when they shamelessly stare at my body.
And to increase my anger even more, all the people just ignored them, some even stared as if it were a show, there was even a creepy fat guy who started recording while sighing weirdly.
In the end Haruna-chan could only stay trembling in her place hugging her little dog while crying, she looked so fragile and defenseless.
Already fed up with just watching I decided to go help her...
But just at the moment when I was going to say something. A boy apparently my age walked calmly in her direction, at first I looked at him with doubt, but almost instantly I realized that he was not normal, the way he moved, the way he walked, when I saw him for some reason my anger decreased, it was not only because of his appearance, which by the way was quite attractive, unlike Dai-kun who was handsome, he looked more masculine and radiated an atmosphere of security and confidence.
Without saying a single word he grabbed the wrist of one of the delinquents who wanted to touch Haruna-chan's breasts, at first everyone including Dai-kun looked angry at being interrupted, but the moment they saw that boy for some reason they all froze and began to tremble.
It was an incredible sight, all those scary looking delinquents suddenly became a bundle of nerves, some were even shaking like chickens, the only one who could react was Dai-kun.
Dai: "H-Hey... W-Wait... What do you think you're doing? We were just having fun... You should let go... What are you saying... If you let go we could share that girl with you-"
But even though he could react, like the rest he was also scared, in contrast to his appearance a while ago he now looked pathetic, and his words were despicable, this scene made me wonder if he was really the same Dai I knew in the past, the good image I had of my friend crumbled in an instant.
Completely ignoring his words the boy grabbed Dai-kun's head with his other hands without letting go of the other delinquent's wrist, to my surprise as if it were the simplest thing in the world he lifted Dai-kun and held him in the air.
It was like the scene of an adult picking up a child, at first I thought Dai-kun looked pathetic, but when he picked him up that thought only intensified even more, he even started crying, and he didn't even hesitate to blame the rest of the delinquents.
Soon the boy finally let go of them and stared at them in silence, Dai-kun couldn't see himself becoming more and more pathetic, he even peed while lying on the ground shaking.
The silence only served to scare him more, until the boy finally spoke.
Kenichi: "Get lost!"
At that moment I felt as if a lightning bolt had struck me and I couldn't help but blush, his word wasn't said out loud, and it wasn't intimidating either, but the implication of that powerful word was clear.
Hearing it Dai-kun and the delinquents ran away incredibly fast, some even fell silent in a comical way, at that scene I couldn't help but laugh lightly.
But to my surprise, it wasn't over yet. The boy, with slow and calm steps, approached the fat man who had been recording from the beginning. Seeing how the one who had easily scared those criminals was approaching, the fat man tried to run away, but in his nervousness he fell on his butt to the ground. When he got up, he looked at the boy and tried to say something, but he could only let out moans just as pathetic as Dai-kun.
With the same ease with which you would take candy from a child, he snatched his cell phone and destroyed it as if it were nothing.
Kenichi: "I noticed that while that girl was being bullied you took advantage of the situation and inadvertently started recording her at compromising angles... This is just a warning, next time I find you doing something like that around here, I assure you that what I'm going to break next time is not going to be a cell phone... Understood"
???: (It can't be... That was so... COOL)
I don't know at what point I took out my cell phone and started recording it, I even sent the video to Ranko, I couldn't take my eyes off it, it wasn't even necessary for me to resort to violence, its presence alone was enough to make everyone run away.
From the beginning to the end it looked so cool...
While I was lost in my thoughts, we made eye contact, our eyes only met for an instant, but it was enough to make me nervous, it was the first time I saw eyes like that, that look was very different from the one that boys usually had when they looked at me.
In my nervousness I ended up running away...
???: "W-What is happening to me...? W-Why is my heart beating so hard? What is this feeling...?"
*Haruna's POV*
I'm a liar...
I lied to Saruyama-kun...
Actually, when he came to save me, I saw everything, I saw how he held those boys and I also saw how he destroyed that other boy's cell phone.
Honestly, at first I was a little scared of him, after all, I didn't know who he was, but even though I wasn't used to violence for some reason I felt protected, and when I found out that I was being recorded, I know it may be wrong, but I felt deeply grateful to Saruyama-kun for destroying that cell phone.
Another thing that surprised me is that Maron seems to like him, Maron has always hated men, I can't even count the number of times he attacked the boys that my sister brought home, but when Saruyama-kun caressed him he acted quite happy, I asked why that was, and Saruyama-kun spoke as if he understood what Maron was saying.
Kenichi: "By the way, I'd like to ask you something... How did you know it was me? It's not for anything special, but I was completely sure that no one would notice... I mean, I practically grew a few centimeters, became more muscular and my face changed quite a bit, so I find it strange that you could tell with just one look that it was me."
When Saruyama-kun asked me that, I hesitated for a few seconds on how to answer, after all he was right, his change was very impressive, he almost looks like a completely different person, and it's not just his physical form, his face also became quite attractive. Seeing his serious expression as he asked me that question, I couldn't help but be honest.
Haruna: "To be honest, I didn't know it was you at first... Compared to the past you've really changed a lot, you almost seem like a completely different person... B-But there's something about you that hasn't changed."
Saruyama-kun is Yuuki-kun's best friend, for some reason I've never seen him talking to anyone else in class besides him, he's usually a pretty perverted guy, but not in such an exaggerated way, in our class there are even more perverted guys, besides looking at girls with perverted eyes he's never done anything like harassing one, I've known him for a while now and I know he's a good person, he always tries hard to help Yuuki-kun when he's in trouble.
In fact, this is something I haven't told anyone, but in the past Yuuki-kun had an accident and ended up accidentally touching a girl, what he didn't know is that she was a senpai's girlfriend. When that senpai found out, he was looking for Yuuki-kun to beat him up, but before he could do it, Saruyama-kun took the blame for everything and they ended up beating him up. At that time, Yuuki-kun was a member of the soccer club so he never found out about this, he just thought that they beat him up for doing something perverted...
But I saw it...
That day when Saruyama-kun was beaten, he had the same look on his face that he had when he asked me how I was a while ago.
A look of genuine concern...
Haruna: "Your appearance may have changed... B-But your gaze is still the same as in the past..."
Kenichi: "..."
Hearing me, Saruyama-kun fell silent. I looked at him curiously and noticed that he was slightly blushing. This is something I never imagined I would see. He looked so cute. I even felt tempted to pet his head...
Haruna: (N-NO... WHAT AM I THINKING...)
Kenichi: "I see... So my gaze is still the same... I didn't even notice... I guess since you answered my question, now it's my turn to answer yours."
Haruna: "You don't have to feel obligated..."
Kenichi: "Don't worry, it's not that it's a bad thing... It's just that it's a long story..."
Saruyama-kun started to think. He seemed to be looking for the best way to explain it to me.
Kenichi: "Sairenji... Have you ever played a RPG-themed game?"
Haruna: "RPG? What is that?"
Kenichi: "It's a type of console game that's usually about adventure, where you usually defeat monsters, complete quests, save people, and fight villains."
I don't understand what that has to do with his change in appearance, but from his serious face it must be something important.
Kenichi: "In those games there are characters called NPCs, they are background characters that are there to complement the story, these characters do not do anything important, the vast majority are set up to say or do a limited amount of things... For example, an NPC is standing outside his house and suddenly the character that the player uses appears and asks him a question, the NPC's function is only to answer the character's question and nothing more, he is just a convenient existence that is there to help the character complete his journey, after completing his function he is no longer relevant"
I think I understand slightly what Saruyama-kun is trying to say, one of my biggest hobbies is reading, of course I have also read novels, in them characters like that usually appear, they help the protagonist and then as they are not relevant to the story they are not mentioned again.
Kenichi: "This is something I don't usually tell people... A few years ago my parents died in a traffic accident..."
Haruna: "!!!"
Kenichi: "It happened quite a few years ago... To be exact it was eight years ago..."
I couldn't believe what I was hearing, I've known Saruyama since high school and this is the first time I've heard anything about this.
Kenichi: "I still remember the day of the funeral... I didn't shed a single tear"
Haruna: "..."
This is the first time I've found myself in a situation like this, what should I say to him?
Kenichi: "Ah, but don't get me wrong, I adored my parents, it's just that... I guess I just couldn't come to terms with their deaths, from that day on my mind went completely blank and I stopped thinking altogether... In the end, the Saruyama Kenichi you've known until now was just an empty shell, he was simply me going with the flow, he was just like those NPC characters in the games, it was like my only purpose in life was to do perverted things and help Rito when he was in trouble, other than that, I had no dreams, no ambitions and much less goals, I felt like I was the supporting character of my own life, it was honestly a pretty unpleasant feeling, it felt like I had an imaginary hand stuck to my back that controlled my every action..."
Haruna: "..."
As I listened to Saruyama-kun's words, tears began to fall down my cheeks, before I knew it I was crying, I wondered why when I heard Saruyama-kun talking about himself like that I felt so much pain.
Kenichi: "I was a real mess, I had no hobbies and my diet was horrible, if my parents saw the amount of junk food I ate in their absence, I'm sure they would be very angry with me... After they died I moved to the countryside to live with my grandparents for a few years, despite my apparent indifference they raised me with love and made sure to teach me everything necessary to live... But as I told you, in the end I was nothing more than a blank slate, as soon as I returned to Sainan City I ignored everything they taught me and became someone completely disinterested..."
Haruna: "..."
Kenichi: "My parents were really amazing... They even made sure that if something ever happened to me I wouldn't lack anything... But I was still trapped in the past and completely neglected my life, I even stopped contacting my grandparents..."
Even though Saruyama-kun seemed to be sad I am completely sure that what he seeks from me is not that I am pity me, he just wants someone to listen to him.
Kenichi: "One of the reasons I'm telling you all this is because I want to thank you Sairenji"
Haruna: "T-Thank me! B-But I haven't done anything!"
Kenichi: "Yes you did... Do you remember the other day when you hit me with that perfect serve with the tennis ball..."
Haruna: "Wawawa... I-I didn't want to remember that I did that..."
Kenichi: "Hehehe... Believe it or not, that hit was the beginning of everything, after that impact my head felt very light, it's been years since I felt so free... That day I barely separated from Rito, I went back to my house and started training like crazy... It seems that I have a body with a special constitution, from what I was investigating this has something to do with my mother's family, apparently it was a family with great importance in the history of martial arts..."
Haruna: "M-Martial arts...?"
Kenichi: "Yeah... Just look at me, I was training for less than three days and my body became this way, there's no other way to explain it other than through genetics, or what, did you think I had surgery or something..."
Haruna: "N-No that never crossed my mind... I-I just..."
Kenichi: "Hahaha... It's really fun to tease you Sairenji, your nervous expressions are so cute"
Haruna: "C-C-CUTE!!!"
Wawawa... S-Saruyama-kun just called me cute, W-What is this? Why is my heart beating so hard?.
While I was incredibly nervous, I noticed that Saruyama-kun was laughing while watching me.
Haruna: "Mooo~ Saruyama-kun, stop making fun of me, this isn't funny anymore..."
Kenichi: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry... I couldn't help myself... But thank you Sairenji, even though it wasn't your duty to listen to my problems, you really are a very good person"
Haruna: "P-Please... Stop making fun of me like that"
Before I knew it, we were already in front of my house and Saruyama-kun, who until now had been walking next to me, suddenly stood in front of me and looked at me with a serious expression.
Kenichi: "I'm serious, Sairenji... You're really a very good person, you're the first person I've told this to, not even Rito knows... I'm just starting out, but one day I'm going to become a grown man that my parents and grandparents will be proud of."
Haruna: "..."
I don't know why, but the smile that Saruyama-kun was showing me right now, left me completely captivated, it was a completely sincere smile, without any ulterior motive.
Kenichi: "It may be a little late... But I hope to get along with you from now on Sairenji... We're friends, so if one day you have problems don't hesitate to ask me for help... I may not be as reliable as Maron, but I'll definitely help you."
Maron: "Woof... Woof..."
Looking at Saruyama-kun I couldn't help but let out a happy smile.
Haruna: "Yes, I hope we get along from now on, Saruyama-kun."
N/A: In the next chapter classes start.
