Dullard Buddy-kun: Heading Reluctantly to School Again Today - Episode 19

I might still not understand what is happening right in front of me.

Right now, what I, Sayaka Yamamoto, see is… I hear a knock on the door, and just as I thought the door had opened…

The boy in the Dokumanaldo uniform, wearing a helmet on his head, who had been giving me a cruel smile until just now, raised his fist and pointed the camera at me.

The sight of someone collapsing onto their stomach.

“Ugh… you…”

And now, the man who was so bravely hurling contemptuous and obscene words at me just a moment ago is now curled up on the floor, not moving…?

“Who the hell do you think you are, huh?!”

Then, immediately, the man behind him assumed a combat stance, clenching his fists to intimidate his opponent. If I remember correctly, that man covered in tattoos on his upper body was said to be the former junior champion of the kickboxing match earlier.

Immediately, the man throws a punch at the boy in the helmet, but the punch misses.

Then, as if it were a counter, the kid in the helmet immediately throws a punch at the man in the same manner, but the man, who is said to be a former junior champion even if he has fallen from grace, narrowly dodges the punch, and this scene comes into my view.

“Hey, have you been dabbling in boxing? Not bad, not bad at all. Haha, me too. Then let’s settle this with a fair fistfight!!”

And so, the former junior champion boldly confronts the kid in the helmet.

The kid in the helmet was also silent, but in response to those words, he clenched his fists even tighter.

“Ugh”

Huh?

Then, in the next moment, the former junior champ’s kick landed squarely on the opponent’s head, and before he knew it, the kid in the helmet was kneeling on the floor.

Even through the helmet, the sound was so loud that even an amateur like me could easily tell how tremendous its power was…

“Hahaha, I’m into kickboxing, not just boxing. Too bad for you! Well, I could have won without using my legs anyway!!!”

And saying that, while sticking out his tongue, the former junior champ laughed loudly in our direction.

“Hey, Tom. I don’t know who this guy is, but what should we do with him…?”

Huh?

Then, before the former junior champion could finish his words… he flew into the air?

Yes. Before I knew it, the sight of the former junior champion writhing on the floor, his body twitching, unfolded before my eyes.

And then, in front of that, the kid who had been kneeling on the floor a moment ago was standing and lightly rotating his shoulders…

However, perhaps because of the blow from earlier, bl00d was flowing from the gap in the child’s helmet…

For me…

But, the opponent is still one person ahead of Tom…

I thought so, but before I knew it, the man was energetically carrying his own clothes and escaping through the entrance of this VIP room.

And now, the only man who can move in this room is the man next to me, Tom.

“Hey, wait a minute. Who the hell are you? Let’s talk this out. Do you know who I am? I’m Tom. I’m a pretty popular influencer, you know. I’ve got money. I can introduce you to girls. Come on, let’s just talk for now…”

And from there, it was just a moment.

Before I knew it, the helmeted kid’s fist had already forcefully embedded itself into Tom’s face…

Still, I wonder if my mind is unable to process what is happening.

The desperate situation from just a few minutes ago was instantly resolved by the boy in front of me wearing a helmet and a McDonald’s uniform…

The men who were just giving me dirty looks are now all lying on the floor, completely helpless…

But even though I’m so confused, there’s one thing I already know.

That’s right.

I don’t know why you came so early, and I don’t know why you came for someone who isn’t even your friend.

But for my sake, for someone like me, this kid in the helmet who bled and put their body on the line to help me…

“Mamiya-kun… right?”

Yeah. The person right in front of me is definitely the loner from my class.

It’s Kento Mamiya…

“That’s not right.”

Then, unexpectedly, the kid in the helmet in front of me responds with a voice that is clearly not their usual tone.

“Wait, hold on…”

And in my eyes, his figure running at full speed out of this room.

Why do they lie?

In a situation where they could have easily asked for a favor in return, they helped me without even giving their name and then ran away…

Hehe, but I wonder if he hasn’t noticed it himself.

The name tag on the chest of that uniform. They forgot to take it off, so it clearly says “Mamiya.”
And then, I wonder if Mamiya-kun or someone was calling for me.

I can hear the distant sound of a police car siren in my ears.

For now, there have been a lot of things…

Even I, as impressive as I am, can understand it now.

Thinking about it again, all of this is my own doing.

Let’s absolutely put an end to this kind of thing once and for all.

Because if he weren’t here, I would…

Thank you so much.

Mamiya-kun.

“Geez… you’re just too cool.”
