[Launch 4]

The place hasn't changed, it's a room on the fifth floor of an abandoned building. After joining up with the chairwoman and Risa, Nishino and his friends quickly tied the men up and pushed them into a corner of the room. The two men, struggling to hold their testicles, screamed and yelled, but there was nothing they could do to resist Rose's inhuman strength. 

A piece of building material that had been lying on the floor was tossed into their mouths, and the duct tape that had been holding the arms of the chairwoman was wrapped around them as a gag. This was done by Gabu-chan, who was not happy with the way the men were screaming. 

"By the way, I want to ask you something. Why are you here?" 

When the situation had calmed down, Nishino asked Shismizu. The tone of voice is firmer than usual. The actions of the chairwoman, made Nishino worry.

289

"I'm going to ask you exactly the same thing. Why are you here, Nishino? We were at a karaoke bar in the adjacent building when we saw Rose and  Gabriella running up the emergency stairs."

"Oh, I wonder if you are worried about us? "

"It was Takeuchi-kun and Risa who were worried, not me."

The chairwoman answered louder than usual. Her tone of voice was full of enthusiasm. She was no match for Rose, who was higher up the caste ladder than she was.

"Oh. Well, that's bad enough."

"No? I don't care what you're doing, it's none of my fucking business."

"I don't want you to look so scary, Shimizu-san"

"If you feel that way, would you mind apologising to both of us? Rose-san."

"Yes, of course."

Face to face, they stare at each other. For some reason, Nishino felt that Francisca's image was behind the chairwoman. This was not an acceptable image in the eyes of futsumen. No, that's ridiculous, he thought, shaking his head and allowing his imagination to run wild. Then, trying to act casual, he spoke to the chairwoman.

"However, why can't i see Takeuchi-kun?"

290

"Ah ... " 

The chairwoman let out a squeak at the futsumen comment. Come to think of it, it looks like this. He's a handsome guy who I haven't seen since we were separated on the fourth floor. 

"Has he run away on his own?

"I don't think it's right for a man to run away without a girl." 

The casual mumbling of Rose and Gabriella made Takeuchi's situation all the more difficult. To the two who did not know the situation at the time, it seemed as if they were just not there..

"No! There was a slight mix-up and we were the only ones ......" 

The chairwoman, who had just been bad-mouthed by someone she liked, spoke up. At the same time, they heard a number of voices coming from the corridor.

"Hey, he's gone that way! " 

"Go around! Don't let them get away!" 

This was followed by a constant noise of footsteps. It seems that the men's friends are still active in this abandoned building. But if this is the case, who are they chasing? Everyone's attention turns to the doorway of the room. 

291

Just then, the figure of a person heading down the corridor came into view. 

"Shit, what are we going to do about this?......" 

That's the person who's just talked about. It was Takeuchi-kun, a handsome guy who is pride of the class 2A. In his arms is Yukki. He is still unconscious. Takeuchi, who is carrying him, is in a terrible state of desperation. He is struggling to take a step forward.

"The chairwoman is in big trouble!"

Seeing him through the doorway of the room, the chairwoman and Yamanobe spoke up. 

"Ta, Takeuchi-kun?"

"Yukki!'

The girls ran to them. Apparently, Takeuchi-kun had retrieved Yanagida, who was lying on the floor on the landing. With no access to a elevator, the fire escape is the only way to get between floors. Considering the fact that other men were present, his choice was a good one for Yukki and kurogal. A few days ago, a study session was held at the share house where Nishino lives. There, Takeuchi-kun, met Yukki.

 

292

Takeuchi-kun who was there saved Yanagida from a dangerous situation.

"Eh.... chairwoman? And even Rose....... " 

Takeuchi-kun is amazed to find familiar faces in the room. He was surprised to find that the person he had been looking for had somehow become freed. However, when he sees Rose, Gabriella and even Nishino next to him, he begins to lose sight of the situation. But it was a brief moment.

"Hold on! It's just around the corner! A man's mate......"

The voice is disturbed by the existence of men who are approaching close. In response to this, the futsumen took a step forward.

"Well done, Takeuchi-kun. I'll take care of the rest." 

"Don't be stupid! Let's get the hell out of here!"

Takeuchi is really frustrated. Although not as angry as the chairwoman. He had a direct anger that you never see on campus. The presence of the men close by, and the presence of the chairwoman who had once been caught in the act, probably helped. 

293

However, it is the futsumen who is indifferent to such roars. 

"I hope it's inside." 

Takeuchi-kun takes a path to enter the room from the corridor. As this is happening, Nishino is going out into the corridor.

"He.., hey, what are you doing!"

A handsome man who cares about his friend is a good handsome man. In contrast, a futsumen who doesn't seem to care about his partner's concerns is a bad futsumen. After confirming that Takeuchi had entered the room, he closed the door behind him. 

"Hey...."

Takeuchi was surprised and almost respectful of Nishino's attitude. 

"Oh, thank you! For saving Yukki!" 

"No, that's fine, but that idiot has gone to show off on his own! " 

He left Yukki in the custody of Yamanobe, who had rushed downstairs. The kurogal takes Yanagida in her arms and shouts her thanks. With that, Takeuchi-kun rushes back to the corridor in a panic. 

294

No matter how useless Nishino was, the two men might be able to hold out for a while. It was a decision based on such faint calculations. You can't help but think that if this was for Rose's sake, it would be a brave move. You can't ask for help from others. Because there are only girls in the room other than him.

"I've called the police, so shut the door and stay inside! " 

The handsome man runs out of the room. Looking at his back, Rose said.

"It's scary how little you know about things." 

"I think it's better not to know." 

The consent came from the mouth of Gabu-chan. The chairwoman had no comment. Yamanobe is busy with Yukki. This only confused Risa. The chairwoman suddenly started to struggle, but then Takeuchi intervened and Nishino showed off.

"We have to help! We've got to go and help!"

295

However, everything was over while she was surprised. Takeuchi left the room. As he stepped out into the corridor, he saw several men lying on the floor, and the only one of them standing on his own feet. They were lying on the floor with cuts and stab wounds all over their bodies.

"Nii, Nishino, you ... " 

Thanks to this, he is a handsome man who doesn't know what he's doing. He couldn't believe what he was seeing in front of him. 

"It seems that there was a misunderstanding." 

"No, no, no, no, wait a minute. These guys have been chasing me all this time, together, right? Why do you suddenly start to cut them? Isn't that a bit strange?" 

"I don't know what's going on with these people."   

"........... "

No voice came out of the men's mouths when they heard Nishino's words. The men, without exception, seemed to have lost consciousness. 

296

Meanwhile, through the distant buildings, they could hear the sirens of the police and ambulance services. Fortunately, futsumen decided to end the conversation. Talking in a casual tone, he walked past Takeuchi-kun to the room where the chairwoman was waiting. 

"I see the police have arrived. Takeuchi, did you call them? " 

"Wait, wait, wait! I don't know what's going on here!" 

He was a handsome man who would have liked to raise his voice if it had been so obviously shown to him. In the past, he had always wondered if there was something wrong with the man in front of him. But he was smart enough to keep his eyes, ears, and mouth shut. He knew that if he got involved, it would not be good for him. But when you see it so clearly, you can't help but have some doubts. But Nishino, with his usual indifferent attitude, said.

"We don't want to mess up Takeuchi's record by going along with the police. The other group's identity and even family register are questionable. I think the police will not start an investigation because of one or two stab wounds, but I think it's a good idea to get out of here as quickly as possible."

"...... "

He looks back and says, with a flushed look in his eyes. That was a good argument from a very handsome man. If you were there, you will undoubtedly be asked to go to the police station for questioning.

297

Naturally, they had to repeat the exam. It was unlikely that he would be charged with any crime, but it was obvious that he would be wasting his time. Moreover, given the problems that kurogal and Yukki were facing, the police might call on them depending on the details of their case. The people who defended them will not look good in the eyes of the public either. That would be a bad thing. Takeuchi, who understood the situation correctly, could only nod his head in exasperation. 

◇ ◆ ◇

After some confusion, Nishino and his friends escape from the abandoned building. kurogal and Yukki went straight to the hospital. When they parted, Yamanobe told Nishino that he might not be able to go home today. The remaining members of the group went to a karaoke bar in the next building, because Takeuchi and his friends had left the room in the middle of the party, saying they had to go to the toilet. They had to make up an excuse in front of their classmates so that they wouldn't be left in the dark. 

298

No matter how handsome Takeuchi is, the impact of a threesome out of the party is huge. Whatever the facts, the three of them left the room at the same time for over 30 minutes. It was a common view among the three of them, without saying a word, that this would be assumed. In addition, the two most beautiful girls in the class, the chairwoman and Risa, were in the same room together, so it was expected that the boys would have a lot of resentment towards Takeuchi-kun. You can't avoid the reaction from Suzuki-kun, who is especially in love with the chairwoman. 

This was also the case with the chairwoman and Risa. There was no doubt that they would be resented by the other girls. They are the top two girls in the group, but the other girls in the room are also at the top of the caste. And in terms of numbers, there were far more of them than they were. For these reasons, the three of them return to the karaoke bar and share with their classmates a slightly remade version of the commotion in the building next door. Claiming that their temporary absence was due to an incident, they somehow managed to survive the crisis. The chairwoman's swollen cheek came in handy. On the other hand, Nishino and his friends, who were accompanying him, had a separate room at the same karaoke bar and took a rest. They helped to explain the situation. They helped to explain the situation to Takeuchi and his friends, but soon left them and moved to another room.

299

"Hey, what are you going to sing, Nishino? " 

Rose, ready to sing, holds out the microphone to Nishino. She also has two microphones at hand, ready to go. However, the futsumen who respond to her seem disappointed. 

"......Sing?" 

"Because this is a karaoke."

For her, it was the karaoke she had longed for with the man she loved. It is an opportunity that she has wanted to have many times in the past, but had to give up. Her face is full of smiles. She was sitting next to Nishino, hugging him tightly. The reason why Takeuchi and his classmates went to the trouble of explaining the situation to their classmates was because they wanted to karaoke with him. If she hadn't, she wouldn't have had the slightest intention of cooperating. However, Takeuchi-kun put a stop to this

"Um, Rose. I don't think i'm going to sing...... "

" Why not? " 

"It would be more fun to sing after the talk, wouldn't it?"

"......That's right"

300

The room is currently occupied by Nishino, Rose and Gabriella, as well as Takeuchi-kun, the chairwoman and Risa-chan, who have returned from explaining the situation to their classmates. There is no music playing in the room, in contrast to the lively singing coming from the other rooms. The only sound was a promotional video that played in the spare time. When the other members of the party found out that Rose and Gabriella were with them, they naturally wanted to join Takeuchi-kun and the others. The boys were particularly excited. Takeuchi and the other three managed to get out of the way, calling it "cleaning up after a mess".  

"But is there really anything to talk about now?"

Rose looked at Takeuchi-kun, who was sitting on the opposite side of the room, and asked him. For the record, everyone is arranged on large sofas facing each other, with Nishino in the centre on one side, Rose on the right and Gabriella on the left. On the other side of the table, with Takeuchi-kun in the middle, the chairwoman on the right and Risa on the left. 

The karaoke monitor is an extension of the birthday table, which is empty. On the table there are enough glasses for everyone. The only one with a strange colour is Gabu-chan, because she was so excited to experience a drink bar for the first time in her life that she mixed up a lot of different drinks. 

"I'd like to apologise to the chairwoman and Risa first." 

"What? Why do you need to apologise, Takeuchi-kun?" 

"No, because, you know, it was getting to the point where i was abandoning you both." 

301

Takeuchi started the conversation in a somewhat formal tone. His voice was a little lower than usual. 

"That's not true, is it? Takeuchi seems to have had a hard time." 

"In fact, it was my suggestion to jump down to the floor below that got the chairwoman into trouble. In retrospect, we could have stayed in the room and waited for the police." 

" No, no, no, I was convinced by Risa's suggestion"

"I mean, if Risa hadn't said it, i would have suggested it! " 

"After i left you, I was looking around the floor below the fourth floor. But I couldn't find anything, so I decided to go up from the fourth floor, but I found Yanagida-san slumped in the middle of the staircase." 

What the handsome man said to the two girls was the story of how he arrived at their place. For Takeuchi, telling them this story in front of them was the main reason why he had arranged this meeting. He could not bear the thought that he was the only one who had escaped.

"I think it's great to be able to help people in any situation!"

"That being said, I think the chairwoman was really cool too!." 

"No, that's is... "

The chairwoman tries to impress Takeuchi-kun.

302

Lisa, on the other hand, praised her. As for Takeuchi's concerns, Yukki's presence helped to convince both of them without any difficulty. The girls are as lively as ever, talking to each other and giggling as if they were at school. It was Rose who was bored. .It was a very insignificant topic for her. The blonde lolita felt particularly annoyed at the sight of the chairwoman, who seemed to be shying away from the praise. Her mind drifted away from the three people in front of her and towards the man sitting next to her

"Oh, by the way, Nishino-kun, we were in the middle of a conversation."

"...... What are you talking about?" 

"Oh my, have you forgotten?"

" ....... " 

On the ninth floor of an abandoned building, Nishino's misunderstanding led him to unilaterally fell both hands and feet in front of Rose. It's a painful thing to be questioned in a place like this, because the futsumen thought he could just leave it all behind him. In the unlikely event that the chairwoman or Takeuchi-kun hears about it, we are in trouble. 

"If you're worried about it, you can worry about it as much as you like. There's plenty of time. Why don't you take this opportunity to change yourself? Don't always think that the exchange of money will take care of other people's feelings."

 

303

Rose speaks with enthusiasm.  She had the place under her control. This was the result of the strong will of the blonde lolita, who took the initiative at the entrance. She negotiated a price that was ten times higher than the usual two-hour limit, and was rewarded with free time, free drinks and the most beautiful room. This time it was Nishino, who was unlikely to get more time for his talk.

"As I told you earlier, my apologies are genuine." 

"I'm sick of hearing that phrase." 

It's an argument that's been repeated many times in the abandoned building. She's so in love with the embarrassed futsumen that she could spend all the night asking and answering questions, rubbing her body against his. Perhaps that's why a voice came from the other side of the room, across from Nishino.

"Sister, I don't think you should be asking and answering in such a persistent manner"

It's Gabriella who is not amused by the monopoly of the Nishino.

304

"This is between me and Nishino-kun, so what's it to you?" 

"I ask on his behalf, what do you want besides money?" 

This makes it difficult for Rose to be harsh with him. Gabriella, who was listening to their conversation, couldn't understand what they were doing, this was stressing her out. 

"Well, i want a heart" 

" ...... Have you finally lost your mind?" 

The questioner looked at the twisted man who revealed his true feelings with a joking expression. And at the same time, it was Nishino who made a comment. 

"That's why you're such a slut. I'm sure you'll agree that it's a great idea. Even if it is a joke, it is rude to Takeuchi-kun. If it's business, I'll hear about it, not here, but at the Marquis"

"Oh, why does his name come up here?" 

"What are you talking about? Isn't that obvious?" 

Words were exchanged between Nishino and Rose. The key word "Takeuchi-kun" reached the ears of the person sitting in front of him.

305

At the same time he felt a shiver run through him. He wondered what the man's intentions were in mentioning his name and he remembered his own past behaviour. 

-I had sex with Rose.-

At the time, the handsome man never dreamed that Nishino and Rose would get on so well that they would have a private conversation. That's why he never hesitated to make a move, even if it meant telling a lie. The consequences of this have finally come back to haunt Takeuchi.   

"Hey, Nishino, don't talk about your friends like that, okay?" 

In order to change the subject between them, Takeuchi raised his voice forcefully. However, this only served to add fuel to the fire. 

"I'm sorry. I apologise for the way I spoke about your girl, Takeuchi." 

In contrast to the way he treats Rose, Futsumen is extremely discreet with the rest of his classmates. He bowed his head solemnly with a look of embarrassment. As a result, what leaked out of his mouth was a past error that Takeuchi wanted to hide. Overhearing the casual mutterings of the futsumen, everyone's attention turned to him. Naturally, Rose raised a question. 

"...... Hey, Nishino-kun"

306

"What ? " 

"Who is who's woman ? " 

"Isn't that obvious? I said you're Takeuchi's girl."

"......... " 

After Nishino's words, the atmosphere in the room changed.
