When I Asked Her Why the Girl Sitting Next to Me Was So Venomous, She Said, “Because I Want To Marry

After School Hearing, Just the Two of Us

Effort didn’t always pay off.

I was keenly aware of that at this moment.

　Knock, knock, knock.

　I could hear the sound of fists clacking on the desk from the seat next to me.

“Are you really that stupid?”

“…Yes, you’re right.”

　By the way, there was no one else in the classroom after school but us.

　It was just the two of us.

So, anything could happen.

　In fact, Tojo, who looked irritated, was spinning a pencil, a compass or some other object that could be a weapon in her hands.

“You said it, didn’t you? You said, ‘I want to get a score on the midterm test that won’t embarrass you as your boyfriend.’”

“Yes, I did say that.”

“And this is what you got?”

　Tojo stood up.

　My answer sheet fluttered through the air.

“All of this is just barely above failing grade .”

“B-but I didn’t get a single red mark…”

“What was that?”

“Sorry…”

　I sat upright in my chair.

“I should have looked after your studies better if I knew this was going to happen.”

　Tojo said, biting her nails in deep regret.

“Kasuga-kun… No, Suspect Kasuga-kun.”

“S-suspect?”

“I’ll allow you to defend yourself. Now, tell me how did you get such a bad score while being my boyfriend? Depending on your response, I won’t let you live…”

“J-just for reference, what kind of response would be considered unforgivable?”

“Well, something like… ‘On that day I played around with a girl that wasn’t you, that’s why my mark was terrible…’”

“No, no, that’s not it!”

“Oh, really? That’s great then.”

　Tojo smiled briefly.

　But then she quickly turned cruel again.

“Then why are your marks so bad?”

“It’s…”

　I clenched my hands tightly in my lap and clammed up.

“Are you going to exercise your right to remain silent?　I don’t mind that, but you could lose your life in the process, okay?”

　Tojo was about to raise her weapon.

“Okay, okay. I’ll be honest with you.”

“Then tell me quickly. Why did you score so poorly?”

“It’s… your fault.”

“What…?”

　Tojo’s eyebrows lifted in a twitch.

“Are you really going to shift the blame to me at this point? I can’t believe you’re such a jerk.”

　Tojo tried to raise her weapon again.

“Because I couldn’t help it… I couldn’t concentrate on my studies, thinking about you all the time.”

“Huh?”

　I looked at Tojo, who rolled her eyes slightly.

“Because you are the most popular and the most beautiful girl in the school. On the other hand, I’m a dull, boring boy who’s never been popular in school. To be honest, I still don’t really feel like we’re dating.”

“…”

Tojo listened to me silently.

“But now you’re telling me you’re my girlfriend, and I’m so happy that I’m… fantasizing about having sex with you, who’s beautiful, stylish, and has big breasts, that I… couldn’t concentrate in studying, sorry.”

　I bowed deeply to her.

　Will this joke of a reason, incite her anger, cause her to erupt, and get me killed?

　Oh, well. For some reason, I was in a state of enlightenment.

“Can I ask you one question?”

“Hmm, what?”

“Well, in your naughty fantasies… what did you do to me?”

“Huh?　Well… firstly, I rubbed your t*ts.”

“Oh, you started with the t*ts?　What about the kiss?”

“W-wait a minute. Then, I’ll kiss your neck first before rubbing your t*ts.”

“L-lips, kiss me on the lips!.”

“After that, I’ll bite your ear.”

“B-bite?　My ear?”

“Playful bite.”

“Playful bite…”

　Tojo’s eyes began to glaze over.

“And then, slowly…”

“T-the kiss is coming next, right?”

“No, I’m going to stick my hand inside you.”

“Oh my God, when are you going to kiss me!”

　Tojo slammed the desk hard and stood up.

　A breeze blew in through the open window, and at the same time, I could hear the shouting of the sports club.

　Tojo came to her senses.

“I-I’m sorry… I just got excited.”

“Oh, no. I’m sorry too. I’m sorry for talking about my fantasies.”

“It’s fine, I was the one who told you to do it.”

　Tojo sat back down with a clear face.

“Cough… Then I will pronounce judgment on the defendant.”

“Oh, yes.”

“I find the defendant… not guilty.”

“Oh, really?　Yay!”

　I did a banzai pose.

“…but there is one condition.”

“What? Somehow it feels scary”

“Excuse me. It’s quite simple.”

“Well, shoot away then.”

　I prompted her to continue.

　Then Tojo, who had been speaking without hesitation until then, clammed up.

“What’s wrong?”

　I asked again, and Tojo took a deep breath.

　Then she looked straight at me.

“Kiss me.”

　For a moment, silence descended on the classroom.

“…Oh, yes.”

“What a flat reply. Aren’t you happy?”

“No, I’m happy, but… as always, you’re so uptight.”

“Hurry up and kiss me.”

　Tojo said quickly with a blush on her cheeks.

“Okay, okay.”

　I gently touched Tojo’s cheek.

　She jerked and reacted.

“What should I do? What if I see your kissing face up close and I laugh?”

“Should we call it quits?”

“No, just get on with it.”

“You’re so selfish.”

　Well, she was cute like that.

　With that in mind, I locked my lips with Tojo.

　The lips were softer and more delicate than I had imagined.

　A small voice leaked out of the corner of Tojo’s mouth, “Oh…”

　Then she slowly parted her lips.

“…You kissed me.”

“…”

　Tojo was in a daze.

“Hey, are you okay?　Did you hate kissing me that much?”

　When I called out to her, Tojo huffed.

“No, I didn’t. How do I say this?? …isn’t kissing, feels awesome?”

“So, do you want to try again?”

“N-no!　If we do it again, I’ll probably die!”

“You are overreacting.”

“And for the time being, no more than one kiss a day. Okay?”

“Oh, you want to do that every day?”

　I smiled a little teasingly, and Tojo’s face turned bright red.

“Kasuga-kun… I’m going to kill you, okay?”

“Go ahead. If the woman I love kills me, I want it.”

“Kuh~…so cool~…”

　Tojo-san, who was as emotionally unstable as ever, groaned in frustration, but was still delirious with me.
