Isekaid 40ish Man Returns, Regressed as a Peerless 17-Year-Old - Chapter 4.3

-Yui’s POV-

When I’m in the cubicle of the women’s restroom, I hear a lot of things.

Most of them are not very pleasant.

-0-

I’m really not fond of socializing with other girls.

Looking at it from my point of view it’s a bit of a mess. Also, not liking and not being able to are completely different things.

There were tons of ways to get through what happened after lunch without getting into trouble and I would have done so in the past.

However, I don’t want to stop Kazu.

I could tell that he was thinking about me so I thought I shouldn’t get in his way.

Even now, outside the cubicle, Onigawara-san and the others are still complaining about me.

From the sound of it, she’s not alone. She’s probably with the two who usually hang out with her.

「Mouuuu! So MK5! Since when did that Nanba guy become so cocky!?」

I heard Onigawara beating the bathroom doors in turn.

Each time, the door opens vigorously.

It seems like I’m the only one who uses the cubicles.

「I know right」「He’s so cheeky」

The two agreed.

Then, I heard the door to the equipment room opening followed by the sound of water filling a bucket from the sink.

「What’s so good about that weakling?」

「Right right. After all, men are all about muscles」「The toughness of muscular men is the best, gyahaha!」

「I know right….ahahaha!」

If you consider the present Kazu as “weak”, it would be impossible to find someone strong.

They have eyes but they can’t see.

Didn’t you feel anything when you looked at his arms and neck?

He’s slim but many athletes have such slender bodies.

Also, no one would think Kazu is weak given what happened in the kendo class. However, it’s related to Kakogawa.

It seems like they have already begun to forget about it.

If they are asked if they could still remember what happened, they probably won’t be able to answer.

「I think that arrogant ojousama is getting drunk for getting along with a commoner boy.」

「Maybe～」「Possible～」

They must have finished drawing water.

Three voices approached me.

「If the perfect and arrogant ojousama falls and gets dirty, she had to be washed, right?」

「Right right, you’re so kind」「And we must do something to Nanba for embarrassing us.」

How can they think something so stupid….

When someone at the top is deemed to have fallen a little, others would think he can be dragged down.

I’ve seen it many times in the adult world because of my father.

I have a fair share of being harassed.

Each time, I carefully nipped the bud.

In the past, I would have just quietly opened the door of the cubicle and walked away while saying “Everyone has their good and bad points” in a dignified manner.

Like I said, in the past.

I turned my attention outside the door while unlocking it soundlessly.

I feel someone getting on a stand or something and lifting a bucket.

Now.

I opened the door vigorously and lightly hooked the leg of Onigawara-san, who was lifting the bucket.

I could have kicked the door down with the power of gungnir but I don’t want to destroy public equipment.

「——!!?」

The girls outside let out an inaudible scream and were drenched from head down.

「Why are you bathing in a place like this?」

I’m sure I looked at them with the coldest eyes I’ve used in school.

Onigawara’s group, who are soaking wet and are on their butts, looked at me with frightened expressions.

-0-

I know doing things like this is not very effective.

However, I made up my mind.

I would be Kazu’s equal.

That means fighting with Kazu if he’s in a pinch and getting angry when someone makes fun of him.

And to catch up with Kazu’s strength, I would throw away the “image” that I built up with effort.

I don’t know if throwing that away can repay him for saving me, someone who’s supposed to die sooner or later.

No, even without that reason, I would do it.

It is something I want to do for him.
