Transition And Restart Chapter 300

As the sports festival drew near each cla.s.s had to pick a representative . Ryu dodged that bullet and left it to their cla.s.s representative, thinking that if Urufu had done such a d.a.m.n good job at it during the cultural festival and loved the limelight so much, he could run this event as well .

Come lunch Ryu met up with his sister in the cafeteria, and she immediately confronted him with the question if he had joined the committee or not .

He stared down at his sister and grinned . "No . That hero of ours can do it himself this time, don't you agree?"

Between an admiring sigh from a girl returning with her food from the counter, and an angry glare from Noriko, Ryu felt the wave of charisma that announced Jeniferu's arrival .

The collective gasp of adoration didn't belong to her fans though . For once Kuri decided to have her lunch in the cafeteria as well, and watching her enter Ryu understood why she drew the attention of students from all three years .

If she had been beautiful during her first year it still lacked in comparison . She looked the same as last year and yet not . He did recall her saying she'd come into the full bloom of her beauty the year she was seventeen, but until now he hadn't believed it .

"What's with you Ryu?"

Ryu met his sister's eyes . "What's with me? Nothing . "

"Have you become so small a man that taking his girl isn't enough . You'd belittle his achievements as well?" Noriko drew breath for a second round . "Right now you disgust me . " With those words she took a firm grip of her food and left him . Just before she headed for the exit to the area under the sails Noriko turned and glared behind him . "Kuri, teach him some manners, or I won't forgive you!"

Advertis.e.m.e.ntRyu stared after the receding backside of his sister's until he felt Kuri grab his arm .

"What was that about?" Kuri asked .

"I honestly don't know," Ryu answered .

Kuri glared at him, very much like Noriko had done just moments earlier . "You know, I think your sister can be a b.i.t.c.hy brat, but lying doesn't become you . "

For someone with her beauty Kuri sure had a razor tongue . "Sorry, I know why she's angry, but not why she's angry . "

With her food in her hands Kuri led them to a table where those seated quickly made place for the two of them .

Ryu followed her knowing she'd make him explain that better . What he just said didn't even make sense to himself . As he sat down he got one flirty and one shy smile from the girls at the table . The boys just glared at him . Ryu smiled when he noticed it was the other way around for Kuri .

"Care to explain," she said when they said down, just as he had expected .

Ryu flashed his best smile to the shy one and winked at the other . "I understand she's angry because I don't share her hero worship of Urufu," Ryu began . He still exchanged polite looks with the flirt, well aware Kuri wouldn't care in the least, but at least she'd take less flak if he interacted with other girls in a way that told them Kuri didn't monopolise him fully . "I just don't see what right sis has to be angry . "

Kuri looked down at the table and mumbled something .

"Sorry?" Ryu said . He hadn't heard a word .

"You were the one with a hero worship," she said . "Noriko was always the more sober of you two . "

'I was?' Ryu scrutinised his memories . Maybe he had been . He took a bite of his rather tasteless lunch . "Maybe last year," he said before the silence drew attention from the other at their table .

Kuri mumbled some more .

"You were saying?"

"It isn't hero worship," she said .

"What isn't?"

"Noriko doesn't worship him, you now . "

"Huh?"

"She's perfectly aware of his flaws, or at least as aware as a kid can be . "

"You know," Ryu said and looked at Kuri . "I'd appreciate if you didn't call us kids . Makes being your boyfriend look bad . "

Kuri blanched but returned his stare . "Sorry, my bad . "

"And?" Ryu asked when Kuri didn't finish what she had started to say .

"She's in love with him . I didn't see it before, but I think she never fell out of love . "

"Huh?" 'What the h.e.l.l?' "But she dated Nao-sempai until he cheated on her . "

Kuri bit her lips . "I wonder . "

Ryu didn't say anything . He just met her eyes and waited for her to finish .

"I wonder about why he cheated on her . Maybe he saw what I didn't . " Kuri's voice was barely audible at the end .

'Oh! I understand!' "Just like how you're still in love with Urufu?"

Kuri didn't say anything .

"You know, I don't really mind . We're dating and we'll just see how it pans out . " Ryu spoke a little faster than he thought . Kuri was clearly in distress, and even though he wasn't exactly in love with her, Ryu still cared enough for her to react when she felt unwell . "So you don't have to feel guilty about . . . " 'Aww, s.h.i.t! So that was what she meant . ' He fell silent and palmed his face .

Through his fingers he saw Kuri's eyes . A bit too shiny, and with a tinge of red in the whites . 'd.a.m.n it Urufu . I'll beat you senseless!'

"So you noticed as well?"

Ryu had, but he hadn't understood what he noticed . "I'm sorry . I'll talk with her . "

"Please don't! I'm jealous but it's not really Noriko's fault, and I don't even have the right, but . . . "

"… but Urufu should have shrugged her off . " It all fell into place . This time Urufu didn't mind Noriko clinging to him .

'd.a.m.n it sis! He's older than our father . ' So was Kuri, but that was a thought Ryu rather avoided, and besides, it was different .
