CH 10

It is now in the middle of July and the cicadas are starting to sing.

The rainy season, which came late, is completely over, and the days are now hot and humid with a strong sunshine.

The activities of the art club have been getting busier and busier recently.

"I want you to come to the gym after school once in a while so that Rina and her friends doesn't get suspicious."

Tachibana asked me to go to the gym.

If I don't show up every once in a while, Rina might wonder what I'm doing.

And so today is the day that I will go to the gym.

After school, when the classes are over, Tachibana and I are heading to the gym.

Until now, when I went to the gym, my legs were heavy like lead and I felt gloomy thinking that I was about to meet those guys.

But now it is different.

As I know Tachibana will protect me, she is so reliable.

With a rattle, I opened the door to the gymnasium.

The inside of the gymnasium had not changed at all.

The gymnastic boxes and mats that were no longer used in gym class are still there. There was also a sofa that someone had brought in.

I sat on the mat at the end of the room where I used to sit while Tachibana is sitting on the sofa.

Even though Tachibana was there, I still felt nervous when I'm here.

Perhaps seeing my anxious face, Tachibana said

"It's okay. I've made it clear that you are my exclusive servant, and so I don't think they'll make a move on you."

"Yeah, I guess so."

With a rattle the door to the gymnasium opens.

"Wow, Kyoko, you're here already?"

Umezawa and the others went inside the gym.

Umezawa has long blonde hair with her bangs brushed back, and her skirt is so short you can almost see her panties.

The other three girls also had short skirts and key rings on their bags.

I knew it, they were really intimidating.

Including Tachibana, the five members of the well-known gal group are all here and they are all sitting in their usual position

Tachibana and Umezawa are sitting on the sofa, and the other three are sitting on the mat or on the jumping box.

Umezawa finds me sitting on the mat at the end of the room.

"Oi you are here today, too?"

Tachibana then immediately said "Yes, because he's my slave."

So I'm Tachibana's slave? I didn't know that.

Maybe she only said that to protect me from being bullied by them.

When Umezawa heard that she said "Ah, well, slave, go get me something to drink."

That's so sudden but there's no way I could refuse her.
