- Karuizawa Volume 5 SS
- The complex mind of a maiden
- “We haven’t decided on any tactic, is that okay?”
- Having already arranged our cavalry battle position, Shinohara, who was beneath me, muttered these words right before the competition started.
- “I don’t think there’s any problem. In a sports festival, you only have to take it seriously to some extent.”
- “Eh? Ah, ok. But Karuizawa-san, if you thing this is okay for you---“
- “Do I look like that type of motivated person?”
- “It’s because you opposed Horikita-san’s proposal when the class was deciding about the competitions by recommendation, so I was under the impression that…”
- “Ah…”
- That wasn’t my idea. I acted following that guy’s orders. Honestly, Horikita-san’s proposal about distributing the participants according to their abilities not only made things easier, but also it was a stratagem that ensured the success of the class. It could even be said that this was looking after the students who were unwilling to try hard. It seems that I was ordered by that guy to do some unnecessary things, causing me to be looked with different eyes by other people.
- “In short, let’s do it at random”
- “Roger--”
- After saying these words, the cavalry battle began. There shouldn’t be anything extraordinary in the school’s cavalry battle –these thoughts were immediately subverted.
- The reason being Class C quietly advancing forward and unceasingly attacking Class D. The vanguard was Ibuki-san. She was that existence that thrown my class into chaos.
- Ibuki-san led the cavalry to do a surprise attack to Horikita-san.
- “Shinohara, go! Support Horikita-san!
- “Eh? Ro-roger!”
- Even though she was surprised at me suddenly issuing an order, the horse still dashed forward.
- “Although I’m not interested in winning, I don’t want to lose like this…!”
- I didn’t know whether these words were said to Shinohara, or myself.
- In brief, Horikita-san was targeted and leaving her alone would cause a terrible situation.
- “Stop! I’m sorry, but I can’t let you go past here!”
- The one who came to block us was Ichinose from Class B. Even though I haven’t really interacted with her that much, I thought she was difficult to handle.
- “What do we do, Karuizawa-san…?”
- Shinohara-san, who was holding the center position of the horse, sook for my instructions.
- “We have no choice but to go forward, even though I don’t really want to do that”
- My physical capabilities are not very outstanding and I don’t want to do troublesome things. But—
- Right now that guy is probably looking here. Although I don’t know why, but I just don’t want that guy see me suffering a crushing defeat. That existence that knows about the darkness of my heart. That existence that said he will protect me.
- Fortunately, Ichinose’s movements are not as difficult to handle as I thought. I can barely deal with her. While dodging her, I issued a specific instruction to Shinohara-san, to keep a suitable distance.
- “Why am I trying so hard…?”
- This time I was talking to myself. Everybody was trying hard so nobody heard my whisper.
- During the summer vacation, I was also involved together with that guy. The same thing happened with this sports festival, making me help him with things I failed to understand. I just kept helping him, not knowing what he was doing or what he wanted to do.
- Normally this would be unpleasant. But I don’t know why I never like this.
- That’s certainly because the harm I’m really worried about deep down has not appeared.
- The girls from Class C who wanted to look for problems with me haven’t come back again. Is this merely a coincidence? No, absolutely not. That guy… Ayanokouji-kun, did something for me.
- Just because he let me have this premonition, that I’m obeying him.
- “!?”
- I barely evaded Ichinose’s hand.
- “Ah, really, this doesn’t look like me!”
- The image of Horikita’s horse falling entered my
