Dullard Buddy-kun: Heading Reluctantly to School Again Today - Episode 18

“Hahaha, just filming videos like the kids before isn’t that interesting, you know? This time, we’re actually preparing something fun. Saya-chan!!!”

This is the worst. I can’t believe it came to this…

They forcibly took my phone and everything else, and now that guy is in Tom’s hands…

I can’t believe he was like this…

“Introducing the Sayaka-chan Liberation Chance!!! From now on, you have the right to call three of your classmates. If you successfully make the call and they come to help you within 10 minutes, you win the game! Haha, Sayaka-chan will be freed!!”

This wasn’t supposed to happen…

I never thought it would come to this. I thought I was skillfully controlling everything in the palm of my hand…

“Ha ha, Tom-kun hit him in the face a little while ago, so he’s crying now, isn’t he? Poor thing.”

“Huh? Saying things like that, you’re getting even more excited seeing this kid like this, aren’t you? Hahaha!”

“Because, isn’t this one a real catch?”

Perhaps, I’m already done for.

In the end, men are all like this.

“So, once we take these guys down, we’ll be free and clear!!! Easy, right?”

“Hahaha, isn’t that impossible? We’re super strong, you know. This guy here was a former junior champion in kickboxing.”

“Well, I got arrested for assault and expelled. Hahaha.”

Well, I’m not much different either…

Yeah. You reap what you sow.

“Alright, first person. Who will it be? I’ll call them, so choose someone from your friend list.”

Why couldn’t I have imagined that something like this might happen…?

I totally got carried away…

“Oh? No one is picking anyone? Then I’ll be kind and choose for you. Let’s see… the first one is Sakaki! The star of the show this time!!!”

Sakaki…

“Well, Sakaki is such an idiot that he doesn’t know what we’re doing, so just forgive him.”

And in my eyes, there was Tom, who was probably calling Sakaki on my smartphone while saying such things…

“Oh, you’re here. Oh, Sakaki. Are you okay right now?”

“Eh, what is this? A woman with alcohol? This is the best~. Huh? Where am I~? By the way, Sayaka, your voice sounds different than usual~.”

“Hahaha, this is no good. We can’t even have a proper conversation, and they hung up on me. Alright, first one done.”

So, what are we going to do about the second one?

The second one…

Anyway, calling anyone would be pointless.

“Hey, hey, going silent again, huh? Fine, I’ll pick the second one too. So, Moriya. Apparently, he did judo or something back in middle school, so he might be a bit reliable, right?”

In the end, it turned out like this…

“Hey, hey. They won’t even answer the phone. Alright, that’s two down. Okay. Last one. So, what now?”

I really was such an idiot…

It’s too late to regret now, but…

“Hey, hey, still silent, huh? Do you not have any reliable friends for situations like this? Haha, that’s sad. Well, if you don’t respond within three seconds, I’ll choose the last person too.”

A friend, huh…?

“Hahaha, even that guy Takasago at the top of this chat screen might be good. You can tell from his icon screen that he’s a small fry!!!”

What are friends, I wonder?

Well, even if I think about it now, it won’t change anything.

“Yes. 3, 2… huh? Did you just say something?”

“Mamiya…kun”

“Mamiya-kun?”

I wonder why.

For some reason, his name just slipped out of my mouth unconsciously…

Yeah. Not even friends or anything.

There’s no way he’d come. The loner of the class, Mamiya-kun’s name…

“Hmm? Mamiya-kun? A new character has appeared? No chat history either. I wonder what kind of guy he is, just to make things a bit more interesting. Alright, I’ll call Sakaki again.”

“Seriously? Huh, Mamiya? Don’t talk about that loner, introverted guy. Ugh, the alcohol is wearing off.”

No, after all, it’s no good…

He probably won’t come anyway, but it’s strange to involve him when he has nothing to do with it…

“Hahaha, seriously? Why would you invite someone like that who’s a loner and a recluse? Have you finally lost your mind thinking there’s no way out of this?”

“No, never mind. Don’t call.”

Yeah. I’m a piece of trash, but…

I can at least have that much sense… I don’t need a phone, it’s no good.

Even someone like me, at least until the end…

“Huh? You said it!!! There’s no way we’re switching with someone else now!!! Alright, I’ll just call Kamiyama-kun one last time. Okay, last chance.”

Well, it probably won’t come out anyway.

“Yes. This is Mamiya.”

“Oh! You made it! I’m so glad, Saya-chan! You got a 10-minute chance to be freed!!! Mamiya-kun, come to the address I’m sending you in 10 minutes. If you don’t come, she’ll end up like the video I’m sending you now, haha!”

Video? Ah, I see…

“Click. Yes. Game—start!!!”

“Hey, Tom-kun. Haha, if you send that kind of adult video, it’ll be 10 minutes before that introverted guy finishes jerking off, lol!”

“Saya-chan!!! By the way, if the introverted loner-kun is even one minute late, we’ll start filming without him!!!!”

“Well, first of all, that kind of person wouldn’t show up. By the time they do, it’ll already be over anyway.”

By the way, how about letting him appear as a special guest actor? Hahaha!!! And 10 minutes? Is he even from around here?

No, they won’t come anyway…

It’s a good thing he didn’t come… There’s no reason or benefit for him to come.

Moreover, 10 minutes is an impossible condition to begin with…

“Hey, hey, Saya-chan!!! Don’t make such a dead face. Smile, smile, like you always do with that cute face!”

“That’s right, if you cry like that, it just makes me even more excited.”

“Yes. One minute has passed!!!”

Knock knock

I see. I’m crying, huh?

I don’t even know what’s what anymore.

And then, in my ears, I can hear the sound of someone quietly knocking on the door from outside.

Are they with these guys? Well, whatever.

Knock knock

“Huh? Who is it? Yuji? Wasn’t he supposed to not participate today? Well, maybe he changed his mind. Hey, open the door.”

“Yo. Well, with such a catch, it would be strange not to participate.”

I see. Another one is joining us…

Well, whether it’s one person or two, it’s the same…

“Oh, Yuji… wait, huh? What the hell, you?”

Huh? What? Well, whatever…

“Huh? The helmet… Documanaldo’s control… Guh, cough…”

Huh?
