Blood Of Platinum
Chapters 114. The Most Valuable People. 3
Hoshigaoka, during the day.
There are so many students who do activities ranging from lunch, playing ball to playing music in the music room.
A teenage boy was walking quickly inside the school corridor and reached a room. He stood in front of the door of the room that read ‘ counselling room’.
- Stuck…
“Excuse me Sakizawa-sensei, Yuki here” he said from behind the door
Inside, had sat another teenager and a short man with a plump and bespectacled body who answered the teenager outside the door.
“Come in, Yuki-kun”
The teenager opened the door.
“Good day, Sakizawa-sensei”
“Oho, sit down Yuki-kun” greet him with a friendly smile
“Pe–excuse me” the teenager came in and closed the door
His face was quite panicked when he saw another teenager sitting in the room. After sitting next to another teenager, he sighed for a while and whispered.
“I beg you, may not be the same as three days ago”
“Unfortunately this is the same as three days ago” replied another teenager casually
“Can replace the problem with good thing not? I don't know what to say anymore” the soft response from the teenager while holding his head with one hand
“The idea is to replace this one problem with other problems only, but what can I do. It's happening. Please help me ya”
“Why is your face relaxed once?”
“Because he will soon lose to your defense so I don't have to take out my abilities” replied the other teenager with a sly smile
“……”
After he finished whispering, the teenager calmly spoke to the fat man called Sakizawa-sensei.
“Sa–Sakizawa-sensei, what's the problem this time?”
“As you know, Yu...wait, because your name is both Yuki so I will call your first name ya”
“No problem, Sensei. So..ini..”.
“As you know Kino-kun, your sister who is ‘too energetic’ seems to have a very unusual hobby”
“Um..”
“The weird hobby I called broke the school window. This is the third time!!” said Sakizawa-sensei in a high tone
“Sensei, I'm sorry for Ryou's mistake. As her brother, I also feel very guilty on this school side. However, it could be the same as three days ago”
“What do you mean? Are you defending your sister's mistake again?” asked the fat man in a dislike tone
“Begini, has Sakizawa-sensei asked Ryou about the full incident again?”
“Why should I ask someone who has obviously done it!!”
Kino started to look serious and answered the fat man.
“Three days ago, he was indeed guilty of breaking the window of the school. But it was done by accident and for the sake of protecting other class students who were almost hit by a football kick from the football team”
“....” the man was speechless with an annoyed face
“Sensei, Ryou happened to be near the scene aware of this and then kicked the soccer ball to the other side which turned out to be precisely about the school window until it broke”
“But that doesn't change the fact that he keeps breaking his window glass!” sakizawa-sensei
“Despite that, if Ryou did not do so then the student would be injured? Besides, didn't that student three days ago also come to this room to testify to you, Sakizawa-sensei? Sensei didn't forget that I was there too, right?” obviously Kino defended the younger brother
“Eii!! This is not a matter of intentional or unintentional but of his attitude which–”
“What kind of behavior is wrong with my sister helping people three days ago? What if the student gets hurt, sensei will call the person who kicked the ball?”
“Of course!” answer Sakizawa-sensei confidently
“Sensei sure they will admit their mistake directly?”
“What do you mean, Kino-kun?”
“Ryou didn't run away after breaking the school window glass because my sister was honest. He even went with sensei until he had to enter the counseling room. Sensei also even called me who is his brother”
“That's because you're her brother and you're supposed to–”
“Ryou is not a child that should always be arranged. He has grown up admitting his mistakes. If it was anyone else, I'm sure they'd blame each other. No child in this school wants to go into the counseling room and be judged by Sakizawa-sensei. Trust me”
Kino seemed to be so confident in all his sentences that he did not hesitate to say something very amazing. Ryou who was beside her felt very amazed by her brother's defense of her. It was as if he was watching a movie.
Kino resumed his sentence.
“One more, Sakizawa-sensei. I have never heard of a member of the school's ex-school team or another student being called to the counselling room for making a mistake. For the two years I was in school here, the only warm conversation was Ryou and I”
“I don't mean to know everything, sensei. I'm just telling you the truth. As long as I'm in school here, there's no way a student would ignore an incident at school, no matter how small it is. Moreover, it is overflowing other students”
“You can talk like that, but do you have any proof?”
“Sensei know what is group chat and Line? I'm sure the teacher here must also have such a group, although the function may be only to give news or academic material. The students in this school have that kind of thing, sensei. Even I who rarely participate in it only know that recently our chairman of the isus has broken up from the vice chairman of the basketball team yesterday”
Ryou who heard the brother's innocent testimony could barely help but laugh.
“You're on trial here. Why do you look so happy, Ryou-kun!!” the fat man snapped at Ryou who looked like he was about to laugh
“Oh, no. I'm sorry, I'm just being sorry. Please proceed again, Sakizawa-sensei. I will try to hold back my tears of sorrow and regret. Please reply Kino” argument
Ryou was really like being ridiculed and challenging the teacher with such casual remarks. It seemed that not only had his fear vein broken off, but his shame vein had also slipped out of its circuitry.
The fat man looked back at Kino and asked back to her.
“Why did you even say such nonsense?”
“I'm just talking reality. That's why I can say that I've never heard of another student being called into the counselling room. Sensei may not know, but the news that Ryou was summoned three days ago to this place is known to everyone”
“Siswi who was a victim yesterday must have complained about it so that it spread throughout the school!” the fat man again argued
“Because Sakizawa-sensei said it, it means that my words are correct, right? There was no word of another student entering this counselling room, because from the beginning no other student had entered this room other than me and Ryou”
The bespectacled fat man felt already irritated by Kino's argument that denied him many times.
“Sensei, I'm not saying that Ryou is innocent. However, I only convey the truth that the incident three days ago was not entirely the fault of my sister. Sakizawa-sensei should not blame all on Ryou. It was also true on today's incident” Kino firmly back said his defense to the fat man
The fat man started to look so upset that all his sentences were answered by Kino, whereas Ryou who was being judged only smiled wryly at the counseling teacher.
“Now, let me ask my sister, Ryou” Kino for permission to ask the sister beside him
“Hmph!” the fat man resentfully gave a short response as a sign of agreement
“So, um..what happened actually, Ryou?”
“Nothing special. It happened exactly like yesterday. One of the football teams again came close to another student. This time it was almost about the first grade students. As a good upperclassman and close to the scene, I should have helped him”
“Hah! You just made it up this time, right?” the fat man seemed to be in disbelief
“What is true?” ask Kino
“Of course be–“
- Stuck…
“Excuse me, Sakizawa-sensei”
From outside the door, there was a female voice knocking on the door.
“Yes, come in” said Sakizawa-sensei
When it opened, there were two or three people coming. First a woman dressed as a teacher at the school, then there was a girl and a teenage boy who wore clothes with a number on his chest. It's probably an exkul football team.
“Excuse me Sakizawa-sensei, there are two students who want to meet you. Let's go you guys in”
Both men came in and looked scared. The female teacher entered the counseling room accompanying the two students.
“What's up?” ask the fat guy with glasses
The girl began to speak with fear.
“Begini..aku..I want to say that..senpai sitting there is innocent. He helped me when he almost hit the ball in the schoolyard and.”.
“I who kicked the ball almost hit this kouhai. I'm sorry, sensei. Yuki, I also apologize for causing you trouble”
The teenage boy bent his body towards the three of them before him. Ryou just said “it's okay”, while Sakizawa-sensei stood up and approached the members of the football team to advise him.
Compared to advising, things he does are like doing a lecture or a long speech.
The female teacher standing there tried to appease the short-spectacled fat man and Ryou only saw them all arguing as if back watching the second season of the movie in the cinema.
After a few minutes, Sakizawa-sensei sat down again and started talking again.
“Alright, this is indeed not entirely Ryou-kun's fault. But he is indeed guilty of breaking the window glass”
“I know that. Therefore, from the beginning I told you that sensei should listen to Ryou”'s explanation
“But it's useless because he's wrong!!”
“Despite that, it wasn't Ryou's fault entirely. He was protecting another student. Had the two of them who were here not come, sensei might not have listened to Ryou and me explanation at all, right?”
“Whatever it is, still not–”
Unexpectedly, before the fat man finished the sentence that cornered Ryou, Ryou's spicy mouth started to bring out his abilities.
“Hard head and vigilante without listening to explanations from others can first make your hair more bald, Sakizawa-sensei”
“Eh?”
