"Damn it, it's stuck really tight."
With a forceful pull, Ishida pulled the glass hearing aids directly out of her ears, leaving the two rubber-sized hearing aids lying in his hands.
"Tch, it doesn't seem like anything special."
Ishida held one of them up to his eyes, glanced at it casually, and thought it looked pretty much like a pair of headphones.
"give me back!"
Nishimiya Shoko frantically held up her notebook to the other person's face, wanting to get her things back. Without her hearing aid, the world became silent once again.
This silence had tormented her for too long, and she never wanted to think about it again.
"Hey, Yiqi, this guy's stopped laughing, look!"
Ishida Shouya raised his hands, preventing the girl from taking back what belonged to her. That's the right expression, isn't it? Smiling all day long, isn't that disgusting?
"then!"
Shimada Kazuki caught the two hearing aids steadily, and as Nishimiya Shoko ran towards him, he tossed them back to Ishida Shoya, as if teasing a small animal.
There were other students still in the classroom, but when they saw that the prankster was one of the worst students in the class, they all chose to ignore him.
After repeating this several times, Ishida Shoya seemed to have gotten tired of playing. He opened his palm towards Nishimiya Shoko, as if to return the item to her.
Shoko cautiously reached out her hands to the other person, and just as their fingers were about to touch, Ishida Shoya waved his arm and threw the hearing aid out the window.
"Let's go--"
"Ha ha ha ha."
……
April weather is like a child's face; one second it's sunny, the next it's cloudy and rain seems about to fall.
Nishimiya Shoko ran across the ground outside the school building, searching inch by inch for her lost item. The two people behind her were still laughing and joking, but she was completely unaware.
The girl's face was no longer adorned with the gentle smile she had worn all day; instead, it was filled with panic and fear. Hearing aids were expensive, and the family was already under a heavy burden.
What's even more terrifying is that I no longer want to stay in this silent world.
"Sho, she looks like a little puppy."
"Haha, I threw it really hard just now, it's definitely not going to be found."
"You are so awesome."
The bullying duo followed behind Nishimiya Shoko with grins, laughing heartily at her bewildered and lost expression.
"Are you looking for this?"
A hand suddenly appeared in her tear-blurred vision, with two white hearing aids lying quietly on it. Nishimiya Shoko slowly raised her head, and the boy wearing the same school uniform as her was opening and closing his mouth, as if he were saying something to her.
Seeing the girl's blank expression, Kitahara Sosuke seemed a little annoyed. He had forgotten that the girl couldn't hear him, so he repeated it in sign language.
"Thank you for your language proficiency," Kitahara Sousuke silently thanked him in his heart.
"Thank you."
Something seemed to light up deep in Nishimiya Shoko's eyes as she tremblingly took the hearing aid from Kitahara Sousuke's hand.
"Hey, I actually found it."
Ishida Shoya snatched the hearing aids from Nishimiya Shoko again, pinched them between two fingers, waved them in front of Shoko's eyes, and then raised his hand to do it again.
"I'll throw it even farther this time."
"Snapped."
"what are you doing?"
Ishida Shoya glared at Kitahara Sousuke, who was gripping his wrist, and forcefully waved his arm, saying, "Let go of me."
Sensing that his opponent was starting to exert more force, Kitahara Sosuke also began to coldly increase the strength in his own hands.
Ishida felt as if the other person's hand was clamped tightly on his wrist like an iron clamp. At first, he could bear it, but later the force increased. His arrogance disappeared, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
"It hurts..."
Kitahara Sousuke caught the two hearing aids that slipped through the other person's fingers and forcefully flung the other person's hand away.
"Hey, you guy!"
Kitahara Sousuke turned his head, and the wind of the fist was already in front of him. Shimada Kazuki, with a ferocious expression, swung his fist at his face. This guy was obviously used to fighting, and he always aimed his punches at other people's vulnerable spots.
Kitahara Sosuke dodged the punch by tilting his head, and kicked Shimada Kazuki in the back of the knee, causing the latter to immediately buckle and kneel on the ground.
At this moment, Ishida Shoya also came to his senses and rushed over to hug Kitahara Sousuke from behind.
Kitahara Sousuke grabbed the arm that was wrapped around his chest, bent down, and easily threw the other man over his shoulder, slamming him onto Shimada Kazuki, who was not far away.
The two of them lay on the ground, grimacing and rolling around.
Just as Kitahara Sousuke was about to say something, he suddenly felt another hand grab his arm. He twisted his wrist to subdue the attacker, and reached for the attacker's shoulder with his other hand to make a tackle.
Suddenly, I felt something was off; the soft texture didn't seem to be a man's skin.
"Don't fight... Huh?"
Yoko stared wide-eyed at the other person's left hand pressed against her chest.
Chapter Thirty-Five: You Didn't Expect That, Did You? I'm Back Again
Kitahara Sosuke awkwardly stared at Yomo Choko for two seconds before silently withdrawing his left hand. His fingers unconsciously clenched in the air for a moment, as if recalling the weight of what had just been held.
"Excuse me……"
"Wow, that's huge," Kitahara Sousuke thought to himself. He took two steps back, helped up Nishimiya Shoko who was still kneeling on the ground, and placed the hearing aid in the girl's hand.
"I just wiped it for you, it shouldn't be broken yet, take a look."
Kitahara Sousuke spoke to Nishimiya Shoko in sign language.
The wind passed between the two, blowing through the girl's cherry blossom-colored hair. She held her hearing aid in both hands, and for the first time, her face no longer wore a business-like smile.
Looking at the smile on her face, Kitahara Sosuke felt that this girl really shouldn't be treated so maliciously by the world.
"Thank you."
"My name is Nishimiya Shoko."
"What's your name?"
Shoko put on her hearing aid and returned to the normal world. She flipped through her notebook and showed Kitahara Sosuke the sentences she had just written.
Kitahara Sōsuke.
Kitahara Sosuke carefully wrote his name in Glass's notebook. However, the female voice behind him eventually interrupted this heartwarming scene.
"Nishimiya-kun, what's going on?"
Shifang Diezi is not only a member of the student body, but also the class monitor of Class C. The past few days since the start of the semester have been busy, and today, for some reason, another member skipped work. She's been organizing files until now, and only now has she had a chance to catch her breath and rest.
After she had properly vented her recent stress, when she walked to the playground, she only saw Nishimiya Shoko kneeling on the ground looking somewhat aggrieved, and Ishida and Shimada rolling around on the ground.
Violent behavior? That's going too far, especially on campus.
And this guy! Sifang Diezi could still feel the touch of his fingers on her chest, even though it was a place that even the prince hadn't touched.
"Let me tell you."
Kitahara Sousuke patted Nishimiya Shoko on the shoulder, shielding her behind him and blocking Yomo Choko's view. He carefully chose his words, then pointed to the two people lying on the ground:
"This is school bullying."
Kitahara Sousuke immediately defined the nature of the matter upon speaking. He knew very well that in such situations, it was crucial to carefully weigh the facts, otherwise, given the school's usual practices, the matter would likely be downplayed or ignored.
It's even possible that both sides would be equally blamed, which would only further encourage bullying. Bullying, besides stemming from the weakness of the bullied, is often caused by the indifference of those who enforce order.
"You are talking nonsense."
Ishida Shoya, who was lying on the ground, immediately stopped pretending and quickly got up to explain that Kitahara Sousuke had already gone easy on him. He was only injured because he saw Yomo Choko arrive.
"We just wanted to mess around with her for fun."
Shimada Kazuki immediately echoed, and then took two steps toward Nishimiya Shoko, who was hiding behind Kitahara Sousuke.
"You're right, aren't you, Nishimiya-kun?"
Shoko instinctively grabbed Kitahara Sousuke's arm and took two steps back, hiding most of her body behind him, neither shaking her head nor nodding.
"You see, Nishimiya thinks so too."
Ishida Shoya shamelessly took the girl's silence as an admission, and then smiled at Yomo Choko, "Class President, you see, it's just a misunderstanding between us."
Then, she pointed angrily at Kitahara Sousuke, "That guy is the one who suddenly rushed out and attacked us without asking any questions. Isn't that a violation of school rules?"
Kitahara Sousuke frowned. These two guys are very experienced. They act recklessly when dealing with the weak, but pretend to be victims when facing the student council and teachers.
Then they retaliate against the whistleblower. After several cycles, both the victims and the bystanders can only remain silent in the end.
Ultimately, justice delayed is justice denied.
"Of course it's not a misunderstanding!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than Hoshizuki Kaede angrily dragged his younger sister out from behind a tree not far away. The two of them were so despicable. He also gave Kitahara Sōsuke a smug look.
Kitahara Sōsuke, a mere nobody, wanted to be a hero and save the damsel in distress, but he ended up being bitten back and had to take matters into his own hands.
"maple?"
"Butterfly".
Xingyue Feng nodded to Sifang Diezi. Although they were ostensibly competing for the position of the next student council president, the two, who often worked together in the student council's office, actually had a better relationship than one might imagine.
"I saw everything that just happened."
Hoshizuki Kaede solemnly tugged at the disciplinary committee member armband on her arm and turned her gaze to Ishida Shoya and Shimada Kazuki.
Where did you pull that armband from? I didn't see it before.
