The Cheeky Junior Gal Becomes Too Cute When She Gets Attached to Me-Chapter 2Volume 1 .6 - The Too-Cheeky Junior Gal
The Too-Cheeky Junior Gal
“In a manga, this would be the situation where we get locked in together. It’s kind of exciting.”
“Don’t worry. The padlock is in my pocket.”
“Eh, that’s boring. Let me at least fantasize about it.”
Being locked in a dusty warehouse like this would be no joke.
Even so, padlocks are easy to lose, so I make it a point to keep it in my pocket.
“Hey-hey, what would you do if you were locked in here with me?”
“I guess I’d have to break down the door… The windows are too small, so even if we broke them, it doesn’t look like we could get out.”
“Surprisingly, that’s a very muscular solution.”
“Well, I do have my smartphone.”
“Me too~. No modern person would be without their smartphone, right?”
Monaka pulled out her smartphone from her pocket.
“Right, give me your Instagram.”
“I don’t use it.”
“Then, LINE!”
“Sorry, I don’t have a smartphone…”
“But you just said you had one!?”
That’s right.
I really don’t use Instagram, so I added Monaka on LINE.
Her icon pops up, a picture of her with the evening sea in the background.
“Eh, who’s this kid?”
“That’s my pet. A sugar glider.”
“Really? It’s Cute! What’s that, it’s so unexpected. Such a gap.”
Monaka commented, apparently having looked at my icon as well.
It’s my sister’s sugar glider, but I’ve grown quite attached to it.
Taking out my smartphone, I checked the time and realized it had already become 5:30 PM.
“Shall we head back soon?”
“Yeah, sounds good. Ah, that was fun. Now I can join the Student Council anytime too!”
“You’re already a part of the Student Council. It’s composed of all the students, and I’m one of the officers.”
“Hmm, I don’t really get it.”
Monaka seemed uninterested and brushed it off as she left the warehouse.
Getting the students to understand the Student Council is also one of the executive committee’s tasks.
“It’s getting cold at this time, isn’t it?”
“Well, it is November. It’s warm during the day, but…”
“Right.”
We started walking towards the school building, making idle conversation.
“Hey, what’s that…”

Suddenly, Monaka stopped in her tracks.
Almost at the same time, I spotted the same thing she did.
At the end of our gaze… there was the place where I had helped Monaka yesterday.
The first thing that caught my eye was the purple smoke rising into the sky—
And beneath that smoke, there was Shirahata.
“No way…”
“So that’s what it was…”
I let out a voice lower than I expected, even surprising myself.
Yesterday, Monaka was on the verge of being expelled at this spot.
There was a pack of cigarettes, and she just happened to be there, so she was suspected of smoking.
Underage smoking is prohibited by law.
Especially here, on school grounds. If it were true, severe punishment would be unavoidable.
But it was a false accusation.
I saw it with my own eyes, so there was no mistake.
So whose cigarettes were they?
That remained unsolved.
The cigarettes… that’s right, Shirahata-Sensei had collected them and I didn’t know what happened after that.
But seeing someone smoke in the same place as yesterday, the answer was easy to figure out.
“So it was Shirahata’s cigarettes.”
Next to me, Monaka was at a loss for words.
A heavy feeling settled deep in my gut.
What was this emotion called again? Ah, that’s right—anger.
“He was going to blame it on a student, even though it was his own cigarettes!”
I couldn’t understand it. I couldn’t accept it.
There was no reason, no motive, no benefit, nothing made sense.
No, maybe I just don’t want to understand.
There are always a certain number of ugly and foolish humans in existence.
People who take pleasure in demeaning others. Those who dislike someone, hate someone, or are envious of someone more successful than themselves… they rejoice in seeing such people fall from grace. And yet, even by doing so, they themselves do not rise any higher.
It’s not unusual. If you look at the comment sections of online news articles, you might even mistake them for the majority because there are so many of them.
That’s all Shirahata was.
It’s particularly bad because he holds the position of student guidance within the school.
If he says something is black, he can punish students based solely on circumstantial evidence.
It’s not that impossible.
“Bastard…”
“Senpai, wait!”
Monaka grabbed my arm firmly as I took a step forward.
She clung to my arm, stopping me in my tracks.
“What is it?”
“Senpai, you look scary.”
“That guy is trying to pin his own wrongdoing on you…”
I stopped mid-sentence… when I saw Monaka’s face, I choked on my words.
She looked like she was about to cry, yet she was smiling gently.
“Thank you for being angry for my sake.”
“It’s not like that. I’m just pissed off at him.”
“Come here.”
I took a breath to calm myself down.
Pulled by Monaka, we moved behind the trees.
“Sorry… I guess I don’t have the right to be angry on behalf of Monaka.”
“No, I’m happy that you got angry for me.”
Monaka slumped down with her back against the trunk of the tree, squatting in front of me with her knees hugged to her chest.
The anger was still boiling deep in my gut. It didn’t seem like it would subside anytime soon.
To pull someone down just to feel good about oneself. That’s one of the types of person I hate the most.
He knew it was his cigarette, so how could he get so genuinely furious at her?
The more I think about it, the angrier I get.
“Setting aside Monaka’s situation, smoking is prohibited on school grounds, even for teachers. That alone is grounds for punishment.”
“As the Student Council President, you can’t overlook it?”
“Of course not. For the sake of maintaining order within the school…”
“That’s a lie. Senpai, you’re not someone who overflows with a sense of justice.”
That’s true.
I don’t particularly value rules, regulations, or customs.
What I can’t overlook is someone being unjustly harmed.
It’s not about justice. It’s just pisses me off.
