Chapter 20: Major Fights

I jumped out of the chair and shouted loudly.

"I’m telling you to listen! We were just talking normally!"
"So, in other words you were being deceived!"
"Why do you get to decide that? You did not know anything about Just-kun! "

Natta looks at me with a shocked expression.
Perhaps she did not think that I would shout at her angrily.
Even I was surprised too. Truly.

I also felt like I was been overwhelmed a bit when I let them out at once.
Ha~a ha~a. I look around the while adjusting my breath.
Not only people on the terrace but people walking on the street are also looking over here.
I got a bit embarrassed.

"Hah"

However, Natta looked at me while shrugging her shoulders. 
Because of it, the feeling of victory is scattered away.

"You, what are you talking about? Tell me what you know about it". 

"Wa, what do you think?"  [な、なに、思惑って]
"I do not think that Ru-chan know it but nobody will come to the isolated city alone without any help. Besides it is no coincidence to help a girl who was attacked conveniently." 
"It was actually a coincidence!"
"Not being able to show the bright knight certificate is more than enough evidence. The one who believes it is actually crazy." 
"That's, that's why~"

I was a little dismayed after being talked back.
Everything Natta said is undisputable even if I was calm down and argue about it.
In the first place, Just-kun is not an official bright knight, so he does not have the knight certificate, so it is not intentional for him to step into such place.
However, the words does not come out well even if the blood rushes up to the head.

"Er, that ....."

Just-kun fearfully pinch his mouth.

"What. I said I would not listen to any excuses."
"Ano, listen to me. I am not a kidnapper as she said."

U, un. That's right. Please say that.
Explain to her that there was a proper reason for it.

"Because I am an apprentice, not an official knight, so I do not have the knight certificate."

Un un.

"I was in that place because I got lost. It was coincidence that I helped her."

Un.....
As Just-kun finished speaking, Natta laughed like a fool.

"Aha, ha ha ha. What with that reason, you are not a knight and you were in isolated city because you got lost?"

U wa~a.....
Natta who looks at us like a queen of evil.

"Nowadays, even the children that got scolded make a little better lie. I did not deny that time that you were not a knight."
"That's because in such a place, in other to being despised by the residents....."
"How on earth do you get lost lost in an isolated city? Do not make a fool of me."
"Are you planning to be a fool.."
"Ru-chan is Ru-chan. You! Do you still trust this man after listening to that false stories?"

 [ルーちゃんもルーちゃんよ]

Natta completely ignored Just-kun excuses.
That's true because Just-kun explanation is not very good, but.....
However, she cannot decide that it's a lie from the beginning
Natta grabs my arms by force and makes me stand up.

"Hora, let's go!"
"Nat, wait, you have to wait!"   「なっ、ちょ、待ってってば！」

A~tsu, it's hurt, please believe me!

"A, ano. Erunatta-senpai....."

I heard a girl's voice coming from behind the Natta.
A petite girl with a light blue hair wearing a uniform of South Philia Gakuen.
While grinning Ododo, she grabs Natta's clothes. [オドオド]
It looks like a familiar girl. Did she mention Natta been a senior?

By the way, Natta said that she have a promise today.
I cannot see it coming because she seems a quiet person, so I wonder if she is her junior at the sword fighting club. [剣闘部]

"Nani yo."
"Ano, am I too loud......everyone is watching"
"It's noisy, please be a little silent"

That junior was frightened by Natta and fell silent. Poor girl. ~Kawaiso~

 "My friend is in crisis. It seems that she have been caught by a man with a nice appearance and ready to get away, you have to wake up."
"Na~tsu.....!"

My patience came to the limit hearing that repeated insults.
I sweep away Natta's hands.

"Who is being hooked! I was just talking to Just-kun! Why I cannot do that!?"
"Why are you protecting that strange man? I did not think that you were such a slutty woman."  
TL - the words here is shirigaru [尻軽] and it means a person that is easy to be picked up
"Ha~a, a slut !?"
"I guess so. Because you don't have an immunity to a man, you are being deceived."
"I was not being deceived!"
"It's not just being said. Do not think too much, you peach hair girl."
"Peach!" 「ももじり！」TL - peach or pink 😅

Hi, hidoi! [Horrible!]
It does not matter how much I am afraid to pull out such a bad thing like before!
But it is in front of Just-kun.
Explaining the relationship between Just-kun and my father may solve it.
But, to pull out a single word completely bleed my head.
I did not feel like I can persuade Natta completely anymore.

"Natta no baka! Baka! Etto....baka! Baka! Baka!"
"Nani yo. Do you mean to do?  Small. Seventeen points. Peach. Huge. Blunt feet."
"Chi, chibi janai mon!"
"Pedophilia. A million years brain inside the spring girl." [ペドフィリア。万年脳内春色娘]
"Ba, baka, bakabaka"

A~tsu, I am weak in quarrelling!
I wonder how Natta is so compose while slandering bad things about people?
And it is in front of Just-kun!
It's hurt! I was hurt so much!

"Ba, baka, baka~tsu"
"Wa han. You can only say that?"

She laugh just like a little idiot to ridicule me!
It's completely on my mind! In case if I say a lot of bad things about Natta!
However, Natta head and her brain nerve are good.
I am stupid as I cannot think anything.

If Natta goes through my complex, I will do that as well.
By selling souls to the darkness, I will become a devil!
Observe every corner of her body.
..................... Yoshi!

"Bishoujo! Tsundere!"
"Wa?"

A~tsu, shimatta! Her mood become worse.
If this happen again, please observe well...
I only have to grasp the features.
Because everybody will get hurts if the truth is told clearly.

"Girl with a beautiful hair like a golden river from a myth flowing together with honey. The eyes that confined blue sapphire that will make you feel the charm of kindness hidden in sorrow. White porcelain soft skin drip with a reddish tingling powder that will melts the snow when touched. A word like the sound of the bell emitted from a lovely like petal and glossy lips that will fascinates those who listen. The appearance which should be called the model of the goddess that is attractive enough to sigh out even from the eyes of the same surname, and even noble ladies at the royal palace will probably sigh. It should be said that she is a very talented and beautiful girl."
"Hey! What are you saying? Is your head OK?"

Oh no! I cannot think of any bad things about Natta!
I mean, I am stupid! Stop that!

"Hora, when I'm still fine, get away from him quickly."
"Uu......"

Natta grabs my hands and pull up to her.
When it comes to this, there is only that word.
Hmm, I understand everything now.
If I say that, I absolutely need to apologies to Natta.
Because I always did it.

"Natta nanka.....~tsu" 
[I don't understand this sentiment. Must be an insult towards Natta since nanka means 'something' or 'anything']

I gazed straight at the eyes of Natta, I gathered my eyebrows as much as possible to cried out my anger loudly.

"Natta nanka, dai kkirai!"

Pikin, I felt that the air had been solidified after making that noise.

A, are.......?

Based on the plan, [I overdo it, I am sorry] [It's just a lie, calm down]. After getting excited for the time being, I was going to explain the circumstances properly. Because I think that Natta will not be able to make a normal judgement due to the misunderstanding.

Nevertheless.
I'm scared of Natta that looked down at me with cold eyes and a voice that is much colder.

"......A, so"

I murmured like a whisper.

"A, are?"
"Well, suit yourself"

Natta who turned back suddenly turned around at me.

"You only have to worry about your body and mind. I'm worried about you, you're such a fool. I cannot take it anymore."
"E, cho, chotto machi---" [wait a moment]
"Sayonara, you are not my friend anymore"

I decided to say it and left early on foot.
Her junior bows down and goes after that in panic.

I was watching her behind without being able to do anything.
It's okay except the ill speak of my mouth.
But, I did not expect it to be like this.
I did not think that Natta would say such a thing--


The next day.
I was alone, walking along the way to school.
While releasing a sigh. Ha~a.

I could not sleep yesterday....
I have done a really bad thing to Just-kun.

After Natta had gone, I apologized to him for so many times.
Just said that [I do not mind] but I definitely made him feel bad.
I'm sorry I came with you along the way.
After that, there was no more conservation like before, it feels awkward when I send him to the bus stop, as he returned to the hotel on a riding carriage.

For a while, I also felt frustrated as I returned home.
Originally speaking, Natta is bad too as she did not get to know me well and just complained about it.
If she do not listen to what I say, this time I will respond badly.

Even I, I got mad at her. Saying such a thing in front of Just-kun.....
That's right, Natta is a beautiful girl with a smart head and a beautiful girl with a good reflexes and she is a beautiful girl, I cannot compare myself with that awesome girl.
I never said that I would normally hurt people in that kind of way.

Even so, I do not mean to seriously say [dislike].
The last one is the most terrible. What if I do not care about it? Is it a word to say to friends from primary school days?

Aa, it just pisses me off!
Anyway, I was a good person to Natta
That's right. A girl who has no mercy like me is not suitable to be friend to Natta!
Unless I'm a cool person like Jiru-san or elegant and graceful like Tanya!

Enough! Natta nanka, starting from now on!
I will never talk to her again! I'm gonna get you out of my friend list!

..................
.........Yada.
I'm sorry, it's a lie.
Certainly I could not forgive her attitude yesterday, but to not be a friend with her, I don't want that.

To be honest, I had kept getting angry since yesterday evening, so my feelings should be gotten quiet soon.
It's already explode now.
Let's talk calmly when we meet today.
Natta will surely forgive me if she knows that it is a misunderstanding.

That's right, Natta was also on the verge of crying yesterday.
So I just passed her over. I cannot say it seriously that I'm not her friend.
To firmly explain, I must make up first.
I do not think that I am bad, but let's apologies from here on.
It would be fine if Natta apologize after that. It is much better than bein seriously disliked by Natta.

Sorry about what I say yesterday, I was worried a lot since I said a terrible thing.
But, listen to me for a moment
He was the son of my father's acquaintance, and I was guiding him since it was the first time he came to Philia.
He is a student is also true, he is not a bad person at all.

....Un. It should be like this.
Daijobu. I had always been fighting with Nata, but we always made up on the following day.
Usually Natta spoke to me as if nothing happened at all.
Sometimes she said let's break from me.

I have to go to the school early if I decide to reconcile as soon as possible.
The moment when I tried to run through the brick laying road, a person came out from the corner and it seemed we are going to collide.

"AA~tsu, gomen na-sa......"

I was surprised to see the other person's face.
It was Natta.
Her transparent eyes are looking at me.

Wha, what should I do! My heart is not prepared yet!
What did you mean by that? Ei, i ya! Anyway I need to apologize!

"Ano....I am sorry about yesterday. I was really worried about what happened."

I also though of what to do if I had a face like yesterday, I was afraid of been seen through her straight eyes.
While lying my face down, I managed to make a voice.
It was almost a quiet voice, i guess she probably heard it.
As I said it, I waited for Natta's reply.

........
Are?
Natta, do no tell me anything.
I raised my face, there was Natta been seen.
She was walking with a sutasuta about ten meters ahead.
[Must be some kind of sound]

"Ma, matte yo!"

Wa, did not I even notice?
I cannot do that, my eyes need to meet her properly.
Nevertheless, why do you ignore it?

"Matte tteba!"

Running and calling from behind, Natta does not turn around.
What on earth are you going to do? Possible, are you still mad?
Fly quickly to the front and stood in front of Natta.

"Listen to my stories---"

Natta passes by without looking here who tried to say something.
As I looked back, I looked at the back of Natta who walks in an empty state.
I was perfectly ignored, It took me a little time for me to understand that.
And as I understand it, anger comes to my eyes at the same time.

Na......
What's that! That attitude!
