The End of a Boy

Translated by AmaLynne

AN: This is a preview of the next installment, so it is quite short. About half of the usual.

We’re ranked #99 in the 3/3 Interday Fantasy Transition/Reincarnation category! Thank you!

「Hey Shota, what’s your next class?」

「Chemistry…I said this five minutes ago. Let’s go to the science lab.」

I was amazed at the stupidity of my friend Kitajima Touya and chuckled to myself as I got used to this conversation.

It has been about two months since I moved up to the second grade and switched to this class.

There are already groups in the class, and almost everyone belongs to one of them.

I’m not in a group, but I’m with Touya more often than not. He’s an idiot, but we get along somehow.

When I entered the science lab while chatting with Touya, only a few people were still gathered there.

…Well, those few people were a troublesome bunch.

「So! She only has 2,000 yen in his wallet! That’s lame! I can’t even buy cosmetics!」

「Gahahaha! Even elementary school kids have 2,000 yen nowadays! We’ll spend it at the arcade for good!」

「Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, relax, guys. That’s her money, right? So we should buy her some stuff to entertain her, right? Maybe we should buy her some paint or something and throw it all over her food.」

「Oh! Kuroda-kun, you’ve got a different mindset!」

「Wow! Shinichi is the best!」

In the science lab was a group of six people.

I think you can tell what kind of a group these guys are just by listening to this conversation.

「…They’re picking on her again…」

「Shota, are you sure? Because that guy is…」

「…What am I supposed to do when you say that?」

They are the worst group of people who bully a certain girl in the same class.

They splash water on the girls, tear up their textbooks and notebooks, and sometimes even get violent with them.

But no one in the class, not even the teachers, condemns their behavior.

The reason is that the leader of the group, Shinichi Kuroda, is a son of a very famous conglomerate, and his parents have donated a large sum of money to this school.

The teachers won’t touch it because they don’t want that to be cut off.

…I’d do something about those guys and save『her』if I could, too.

That’s because…the girl they are picking on…I’m secretly in love with her.

…If I had more power.

I could help her.

◆◇◆◇◆

Most of the class had gathered, and our science teacher and homeroom teacher, Aika Hizaki, also entered the science room.

She’s the last one to arrive.

「Hey, Shinichi! We’re free, so let’s do a science experiment!」

「A science experiment?」

「Yes! Look, if you twist here, gas will come out, right? Let’s put a fire here and make a little explosion!」

「Oh… Isn’t that dangerous?」

「What are you scared of, Shinichi? Are you okay or are you scared?」

「…Okay, I’ll do it.」

He started to say something stupid.

「W-Wait a minute! Kuroda, you guys, that’s too dangerous! Please don’t do that!」

「Noisy! Sensei, shut up! Come on, Shinichi! Here’s a lighter! I brought it to burn her long hair to make it shorter!」

「Oh, that’s a good idea. I’ll put it into practice next time… Okay, okay. Now, let’s get the lighter closer.」

「I-It’s really dangerous! Wait…」

「What?」

Immediately after.

The whole class was engulfed by flames and blasts that somehow came toward us.

And then the worst of the idiots caused a massive gas explosion…We died.

◆◇◆◇◆

Oh, if this was going to happen.

I should have pushed them away and helped them.

I should have told her how I felt. It was my first love.

I like you…Senjo-san.

AN: This brings us to the end of Volume 2 this time.

I hope you enjoy Volume 3.

And since I suddenly have some free time on March 6, I plan to post anyway.

I will write, post, write, post, repeat! I don’t care how long it takes!

And from now on, as much as possible, I will try to update two stories a day, posting at 0:00 and 3:00 pm.

Let me say one last thing!

There is no such thing as NL development !!!!
