X-ray Is More Than I Thought

Chapter 26

Standing in front of the washbasin, I took the hair wax.

How many years since I bought this one?

I mutter as I look at the container of the hair wax in my right hand.

How many years was it? Its already that long.

I bought this hair wax a day before Valentines.

I never thought of getting chocolate. After all, theres no girl approaching me far from giving a chocolate.

However, even I wanted to dream. A letter fixed with a chocolate on the shoebox or my desk when I go to the school.

Please come to the courtyard after school is written in the letter, Iyaaa, Im beat, getting overjoyed while showing embarrassment, something like that.

So I set my hair with hair wax for the first time on Valentines day, I went to school, and came home empty handed.

Since then, I sealed that hair wax.

Ridiculous. Theres no way that dream would be true. Even if you dream, reality would only make it futile. I thought.

But however, the time to release the seal has come.

After I raped Asahina, I used her to make Yuka my slave.

Marina dedicates her body to me for the sake of her boyfriend, used the sense of guilt of abandoning Yuka and she became a guinea pig.

I took advantage of their weakness and have them follow me.

But Yukas different.

She abides me to help Asahina would mean the same as the two but shes not following it unwillingly. I know that much.

Shes grateful of me so she probably fell for me. If its Yuka.

I-If I fix my hair, she might notice it1

Muttering as my heart throb, I opened the lid of the hair wax and applied it on my finger.

Right now, perhaps, Im enjoying youth for the first time.

Preparing to go to school, I went to the living room to eat breakfast.

Entering the living room, I saw my mother making breakfast in the kitchen.

Morning

Greeting her, mother looked up and saw me.

M-Morning, Mota

Mother returned the greeting with a smile. But, its somewhat cold.

The cause is me. I recklessly used my ability on my own way. Its no use regretting it. I was a kid. Common sense is unknown for a kid2, so its impossible for me to understand that its an unusual talent even if Im told so.

Even after entering school, I was using my ability as I like until I acquired common sense. I was treated like a monster in the school because of that but the closes who Im making contact to are my parents.

I used my ability in a way that wont be noticed by people when I learned common sense but that wasnt a reason for it to be cancelled.

Thanks to that, my parents, especially my mother who has a lot of contact with me has a very cold attitude.

Well, Im still thankful for them that they didnt take me to the hospital as an experiment material, nor throw me because Im a monster.

Taking my seat, I silently ate my breakfast.

Mother sat in front of me is also silent. Ill normally answer if she talk to me but its rare for mother to talk to me.

M-Mota

However, mother began to talk. I looked up her face in surprise.

Your hair looks cool3

Mother says with a smile

W-well, I feel like it

Answering mother with a smile, I withdrew my gaze.

I throbbed. Whod thought she notice my hair? No, I thought shed just be silent even if she noticed.

Right

Mother voices when she heard.

The conversation ended with that.

Just what is my mother thinking? What is she thinking of me?

Though I havent introduced Marina to mom, she surely knows her existence. Shes coming to my house daily after all. But mother doesnt ask anything. Ill lie to her even if she does.

Though I have the urge to confirm my mothers insides, I stopped it.

Im using my ability as I like but I never used my ability on my parents.

Maybe because its scary. Im afraid that I will know Im disliked.

I drink my coffee when I finish my breakfast, then the interphone rang.

Could it be Ito-san?

Mother washing the dish in the kitchen, wondered who it is and went out of the kitchen.

The interphone would be meaningless if you go directly on the front door. My mothers like that.

Before long, I heard mothers voice from the door. Was the visitor the neighbor, Ito-san as mother expected? It seems shes talking at the door.

Its because my mother stays away from home every weekend to take care of my father whos away from work. For that reason, the neighbors comes on Monday morning.

N-Nice to meet you. I-I a-a-a-am Suzuhara-kuns f-friend, T-T-Tamoe Yuka

I spit out my ko-fi when I heard the voice.

Am I hallucinating?

Looking through the wall with my ability, I saw the door.

My mothers standing in the door, and in front of her isI really didnt hallucinate.

Hey hey

The panicking me stood up and approached the wall of the living room.

Whod thought Yuka would come to my house. She came to meet me? I think she does.

I didnt tell her not to come. But I told her that mothers coming home./ Thats why I thought she wont come till the weekend.

E-errM-Motas friend?

M-Mota?

Mother asked with her eyes doubting and Yuka tilts her head.

A-Ah, Motas name is Motarou, right? Thats why Ive been calling him Mota for a long time

I-I see!

Yukas eyes shine as she nods at mothers explanation

AAH! Dammit! Stop that!4 No matter how much you call me Mota, Mota, I hate that name.

Mota-kun. Fufu. Mota-kun. Fufufu. Mota-kunCute

Right? My child always looks at me with angry eyes every time, he hates to be called like that but I like it though

Moms naming sense is amazing! Can I call him Mota-kun too?

Ufufu, go on

Shes taciturn in front of me but mother who often turns to the listener while talking with the neighbor somehow talks to Yuka happily.

Shit, this is dangerous. Itll be troublesome if they get along well. Thats why I dont want to let them meet each other.

But, what should I do? Mother would question me a lot if I came out now.

Its the first meeting of mother and Yuka so they shouldnt get in deeply. Even Yuka wont say anything that would be disadvantageous for me. You wont right? I trust you.

Anyway, its a chance when mother calls me. If mother calls me, Ill go through the front door, lightly answer hee, pass through and come out of the house like that.

By the way, uhm, Tamoe-san

Yuka is fine! Please call me Yuka, mom!5

Yuka straightens herself when mother ask her and she speaks out while blushing.

T-Then, Yuka-san

Mother who was overpowered with Yukas force puts her hand on her lips, cleared her throat and asked Yuka.

C-Could it be, Im only thinking that perhapscould it be, youre Motas girlfriend?

Mother asks the timid Yuka. That came out in the end. I beg you Yuka, try to wash it away.

Failing to live up to my expectations, Yukas eyes opened wide as an expression of her surprise.

Hey! Why are you shaking!? Parry it lightly. Youll get doubted!

G-G-G-Girlfriend!? M-M-M-Me!? Aha, ahaha, ahahaha!

The blushing Yukas eyes are swimming around and she unnaturally laughs with a shaking voice.

Ah, this is no good. Even if its bad, I thought of timing it and escaping but Id rather go out of the house without being doubted.

I thought.

I-I-Im sorry! Its accidentally asked a hard question to an adolescent girl! Mota would get angry at me!

I thought shed go asking the shaking Yuka but my mothers also shaking like Yuka.

Ah, I see. Seeing Yukas panicking appearance, she thought that its a question that mustnt be asked.

In short, Yukas not my girlfriend but, when my mother asked, she got troubled as she doesnt know how to answer. Yukas panicking appearance can be seen by mothers eyes.

It seems that shes not doubting yet but as long as she see Yuka panicking, it wont be strange if it comes out. Lets escape the house immediately.

When I thought that.

I-I-I-I-Im far from his girlfriend! For me to become Mota-kuns girlfriend! Im just Motas sefu6

Yuka raises her voice while becoming bright red. Hearing those words, I squatted on the place feeling helpless.

Youve done it. You baka!7, Youve fucking done it!

Sefu?

Mother tilts her head.

Sefu would only be sex friend8 if the other is an opposite sex.

Its over. Itll surely come out.

S-Sefu!9

However, Yuka raised her voice while colored crimson and she spreads her arms.

Safe! Safe, safe! Ahahahaha! The night game baseball yesterday was a climax isnt it?! I got excited when I remembered it! it was an infield hit nine time two out third base10 The player who kicked the third base slide to the home base, safe safe! Goodbye reversal! like that

Spreading out her hands horizontally, Yuka desperately explains and she looked at mother when she finished. Then she laughed.

My speechless mother tilts her head while smiling.

Yuka-chan loves baseball. Im not well informed with it but I think its amazing

Mother was somehow convinced with mothers explanation, she laughs while applying her hand on her cheek. Yuka felt relieved when she saw mother doing that.

Y-You did it well. As expected of a last boss. Showing such a counterattack from sefu.

Still, it got me in panic. I thought my heart stopped.

I thought that I should leave the house as soon as possible, I went to the door on a quick pace, silently put on the shoes, lightly greeted out mom and went out of the door.

Yuka bows to my mother in a hurry too and went out of the house running after me.

Mother hadnt said anything in particular when we left out of the house. She just waved with a smile.

I thought that shed stop us but we managed to avoid further problems.

Walking silently, Yuka walks and sticks behind me.

Yuka walks on a faster pace sometimes and she looks at me from the side then she silently falls behind. That repeats.

She seems to be reflecting from almost saying sex friend and now shes uneasy if I dislike her.

That was a blunder but I was able to know the internal condition of Yuka.

Yuka intends to keep our relation a secret. The proof is that she lied to mother. In short, Yuka proven to be a safe person.

Im not angry. You should just pay attention next time

Talking to Yuka whos walking in the back, she sped up and walked next to me. She looked up to me then bowed.

I-Im really sorry. I thought that it was rude for me to think that Im Mota-kuns girlfriend so I thought that Ill remove the misunderstanding, my head got full and

Apologizing as she bow, she sent an upward glance to me.

Yukas figure is like a scolded puppy so I patted her head instinctively.

Yukas ears are bright read, she looks embarrassed but she laughed gladly.

Shes harmless11 She would never reveal that Im having sex with her. Shes someone who doesnt think of binding penis to get fucked. Theres no meaning on doubting her. If I doubt her poorly, Yuka might think I hate her and run wild. Thats much more dangerous.

Even if shes trained, there are those who only give whips, there are those who use carrot and stick properly and theres a guy who prefers giving a lot of candies.

I think Yuka would follow me even I only give the whip./ But she wont get cocky when given candy, shes the type that would raise the loyalty.

If I manipulate her well, I can make use of her talents.

Having those thoughts, I patted Yukas head and she looked up at me. And.

Your hair looks cool

Saying that, she smiled while her ears are bright red.

Wellthanks

Withdrawing my gaze from Yuka, I answered while scratching my head.

I want you to notice but its embarrassing when you did. However, werllits not bad.

Arriving at the school, I separate from Yuka in the corridor and entered my classroom.

Asahina-san, good morning!

Hey hey, Asahina-san, why dont we come home together today?

Ah, you sly! I also want to go together with Asahina-san!

Asahina-san, lets eat lunch box together

Me too, me too

Asahinas sitting down on her seat. The schoolgirls gathered around her are calling her out.

The former followers of Asahina who abandoned her are now desperately flattering her.

Time has passed since the delinquent group is annihilated and it seems that they have spread the rumor that it was Asahinas act properly.

It seems that Shinozaki-kun my best friend and his companions have done a great work.

The attention paid to me would be lost.

Then, I have to halve Shinozaki-kuns punishment. But lets work again on the remaining half. The half of the punishment would be halved since they did well but Since its half of the half of punishment, theres still a half remaining.

Fufu, as long as theres half of the punishment, there would be half of the calculation no matter what you think.

I dont mind if you decline of course. However, youll only suffer the remaining punishment if you do.

That said, its amazing how they flatter Asahina. Abandoning Asahina, they already ignored her but they changed their attitude quickly when the situation changed.

Theyre like locusts.

Perhaps, someone has to become a sacrifice so they can return as followers of Asahina. Its the girl who suggested to abandon Asahina.

The crimes will all be framed on her and the remaining would become Asahinas followers.

Looking around the classroom with those thoughts, I found a schoolgirl standing alone in the corner of the classroom. Its the schoolgirl who had such power after Asahina lost it.

Carried like a portable shrine, she was tossed away when she became a disturbance and put all of the crimes into her.

Arent you girls a greater demon than I am?

While I have such thoughts, Asahina stood from her seat. And she walked towards the schoolgirl standing alone in the corner of the classroom.

The surroundings made a commotion. They thought that Asahina who recovered her power would pass down the iron hammer on the sacrifice.

The schoolgirl standing in the corner of the room had her face turn pale when she saw Asahina coming close to her. And she looked around while trembling, theres nowhere to run, nor a friend to help her either.

Youre alone?

Asahina stops in front of the schoolgirl, put her right hand on her waist, looked down on the schoolgirl with a coercive attitude, and called her out.

The schoolgirl trembled and bit her own lower lip.

Ridicule sounds in the classroom. The followers of Ashina began laughing as they see the iron hammer is being given to the sacrifice.

Those girls are a problem. They just laugh at the appearance of the person shamed in front of others but they should be feeling uneasy inside.

After all, they betrayed the betrayer. They dont know when they will become the sacrifice?

They might be the sacrifice Asahina looks down on tomorrow.

Theyre struck. I think that theyd be much more stiff the more theyre suspected.

Thats a coincidence. I was also a loner till recently

Eh?

The scorn suddenly stopped. The schoolgirl looks up at Asahina.

Youre lucky. Youre a loner right now. Value it if theres a person who called you out. Falling at the bottom becomes the biggest chance. When you fall on the very bottom, the only person who stretch their hand is the true friend. And surely theyll become a good friend for life

Saying that, Asahina presents out her right hand towards the schoolgirl.

As a person who also fell on the bottom, dont you think that we can understand each other?

The schoolgirls eyes opened wide from Asahinas words, her face crumpled and she shed tears like rain. And she took Asahinas hand with trembling hands.

Its often said to be afraid of failure but it doesnt mean that you should fail without thinking. Theyll speak ill of you if you fail. Insult you. Abandon you. Understanding that youre driven in such a situation, dont fear and rise. Thats what I understood from falling down below

The schoolgirl stares at the narrating Asahina.

However, humans arent that strong. When standing up, isnt it good when someone helps? No, its really a happy thing when someone holds out their hand

Asahinas voice quieted the classroom.

The schoolgirl nods a lot of times while worn out with tears, she raised a voice and sobbed like a child.

I was irritated seeing such spectacle.

Asahina got caught up in the moment.

Fufun, well fine. You can be the queen of the kill as much as you want till its late. If I acquire the technique to make Yuka ahegao, I would be invincible. Ill make you ahegao with just one finger.

Till then, you should enjoy the brief moment of being queen.

Lunchtime, Asahina stood from her seat. Shes going to eat lunch with Yuka as usual, when I though shes going out of the classroom, Ashina went to the desk of the schoolgirl whos crying greatly.

Ill introduce my best friend to you. However, that child is my great breast friend Ill get angry if you steal her

Ashina calls out the schoolgirl sitting alone, she presented her right hand while closing one of her eyes.

The schoolgirl blushes an felt flustered, nodded while laughing embarrassed, she tried to grasp the stretched hand.

Y-Yuu-chan tasuketeee!

A sudden scream echoes in the classroom. The schoolgirl who tried to grasp Asahinas hand trembled and Yuka run into the classroom the next moment.

Yuka whos about to cry rushes inside the room and met with my eyes. As soon as she did, she smiled as if not panicking at all and waved her hand. But, she looked around the classroom in panic immediately after.

Yukaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

A roaring shout. The schoolgirl who stretched her hand towards Asahina looks around with teary eyes and towards Yukas cry, then Yuka rushed looking like a demon.

The classroom was frozen from Asahinas excessive spirit and vigor. Not a single one looks at Asahina, they avert their faces.

They desperately felt that they shouldnt involve themselves with Asahina right now.

Y-Yuu-chan!

Contrary to seeing Asahina in surprise, Yuka felt relieved and smiled.

Yukaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

She recklessly rushed. Asahina charged vigorously while shouting, she clings to Yuka.

Are you injured!? Did they do anything cruel!? Say if it hurts okay!? Ill do pain pain go away!

Asahina cheks Yukas body while asking.

I-Im fine. Im not injured

Though Yuka should be experienced being fondled, it seems that the same ex is different. She has a wry smile floating on her face.

Great. It seems that Yuka doesnt have that hobby. Asahinas suspicious.12

Please wait boss! If you hate boss so much I can call you nee-san!

The voice echoes, and immediately after, Marina jumped to the classroom.

It seems that shes following Yuka even in school.Updat𝒆d fr𝒐m n0v3lb(i)n.c(o)/m

Dont come near me! I told you that I hated you already!

The gentle Yuka raised a non-Yuka-like voice. Marina laughed when she heard Yukas voice and she stepped forward facing Yuka, then.

Marina stiffened and trembled. Asahinas looking at Marina with a serious face.

Its weird that shes expressionless. Furthermore, her pupil is open.

I dont know who you are but Yuka hates you. Youre someone Yuka hates. In shorta hostile existence

Looking at Marina with open eyes, Asahina murmurs in an indifferent cold voice.

Huh? Asahina dont know Marina? I surely thought she does.

Well, it would be strange if Asahina is obsessed in something shes interested in, and she wont be interesting in something shes not.

Hiii

Marina leaks out a small scream when she saw Asahina and she trembled intensely.

A-Asa-Asahina, Asahina YuuSan

Marina mutters palely and she withdrew her eyes from Marina and saw me. Then, her face turned paler.

I-Ill be killed by a demooooooooon! Iyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Marina raised a piercing scream and went out of the classroom at full speed.

It seems that shes not intending to meddle with Asahina from the start. In case of Marina, Asahinas an existence that cause her a lump of trauma.

Or rather, shes scared that she would anger me if she deal with Asahina badly.

I felt better when I thought that but, Marina still has long ways to go.

Dont worry, Marina. I wont kill you. However, Ill kill you in a different meaning.

Still, shes not that scared when she look at me but its strangely afraid when she saw Asahina and me.

Marina jumps out of the classroom and Asahina sees her escape, the rumor about Asahina would now get credibility.

Marinas the famous girlfriend of the leader of the delinquents. Marina saw Asahina and ran away in full speed.

Because of that, Asahinas influence would increase quickly and her power would keep expanding.

And theres a person who came to admit Asahinas superiority.

Asahinas fixated, shes favoring someone like its the apple of her eyes, an existence shes pampering. Its Yuka.

Theyll provoke Asahinas wrath if they deal with Yuka badly. That sort of rumor would spread instantly and Yuka would be able to walk in the corridor as she like now.

Its somewhat a strange development but I dont care as long as I can do as I like and fuck beauties. Im fine as long as they dont pay attention to me.

That said, neither Ashahina nor Marina noticed my hairstyle.

Im the type who bears a grudge.
