Chapter 86: Battle on Equal Grounds [side Yukari Tomonaga]
Ah! I encountered Mishima Satsuki in front of the gymnasium.
...Surely, getting involved with her won't lead to anything good, right?
If you don't touch the gods, you won't be cursed? Retreat, retreat.
Don't say anything unnecessary...
"...Too bad about Pig Motor, huh...?"
I tried to offer a single word of condolence and retreat, but Mishima Satsuki grabbed the back of my collar!
What are you doing?!
Mishima "A fat girl who got suspended for impure relationships with the opposite sex is really provoking me...!"
Mishima-san is super mad!
But? During the beauty contest, I was attacked, my shoes were hidden, and horrible things were done to me! I'm the one who should be angry!
I convey that to her!
It's because of your actions, isn't it!
Mishima Satsuki makes a face like, huh?
Mishima "I wouldn't use such dirty tricks on someone like you...! There's no way I'd lose to you in looks!"
"As for me? Even though it was canceled? I was once Miss Hokusho, you know? And now I've won Miss First Year, haven't I? How about you, Mishima-san?"
When I provoke her with a slightly pretentious air, Mishima-san's face turns bright red,
Mishima "That thing! It was cheating, wasn't it! A foul, right! That's why your Miss Hokusho title was stripped! You have no popularity? You don't even have friends? You were expelled from the top clique!!"
※The latter half applies to Satsuki as well.
Huh? Provoking me, huh?
I can't stay silent either!
"Huuuh? Mishima-san, who lost to me and ran away at the award ceremony, is saying that? After that, I paraded around the school like a victory march, but Mishima-san wasn't there, was she? Osada-san said so, you know? Osada 'She's shallow. To put it nicely, she's honest, but she doesn't think deeply and spoils herself.'"
That's what she said."
Mishima "Kuh...!"
Mishima-san is groaning... As expected of Osada-san! Spot on!
※That's not right, the above line is Osada-san's evaluation of Yukari Tomonaga.
Anyway, who is superior? Didn't the beauty contest already settle that?
When I say that,
Mishima "Huh? Regardless of the beauty contest results, there's no way I'm below a girl who got suspended for impure relationships with the opposite sex, right?"
"Hmph. Impure relationships, impure relationships, you keep repeating it like an idiot... We are in pure love! We're going to date all the way to marriage, you know? We're still lovey-dovey now!"
I said it in a mocking tone.
Mishima, in a mocking tone,
Mishima "During your suspension, rumors spread, you know? You don't know, do you? Everyone knows, right? The story about you and Kuzu confessing and becoming a couple was staged before the beauty contest, even though you already had a physical relationship, and the confession at the contest was just a fake drama for show. Also, you're taking credit for Kousuke's achievements and acting like the hero of your diet. By the way? Haven't you heard the rumors about Kuzu?"
"Kuzu-kun is my prince, you know! He helped me, and he even cooperated with my diet!"
※It was a staged event, and the 'drastic calorie reduction' was a lie; it was just regular cake.
Mishima-san and I glare at each other.
The passersby whisper to each other as they walk past...
It's not good to stand out too much, so I should back off here.
"Well, keep saying sore loser things. The beauty contest results can't be changed!"
When I say that and try to leave, Mishima-san snorts with laughter,
Mishima "You're putting on this good-girl act, but haven't you noticed?"
"I'm leaving now, okay? Take care."
Mishima "Running away? Hey, didn't you binge eat during your suspension?"
"...What are you talking about? I ate some snacks, but... just a little, okay?"
Haha! Mishima laughs while saying,
Mishima "You probably ate stuff like Matsuku, Kemuta, or pizza, right?"
(Ah, I should go to Matsuku on my way home after a long time!)
※Matsudonarudo has been unlocked.
"I don't know what you're talking about..."
But, how did she know?
I'm getting a little shaken.
Mishima "Haha, haven't you noticed you've gained weight? Or are you pretending not to notice?"
Mishima comes at me with a smug face, grinning and pestering me! So annoying!
Mishima "You probably ate nothing but high-calorie stuff like pizza and fried chicken, right?"
"N-No, that's not true!"
Mishima "Oh, come on, you've gained weight. Didn't anyone tell you?"
Kuzu-kun... Kuzu-kun pointed it out twice...
Mishima, laughing,
Mishima "Ahaha! Kuzu-kun hates fat girls, you know? I heard it from him personally!"
Hahaha! Mishima and I.
Our dry laughter synchronizes.
We say things to each other that shouldn't be said.
"...Overly self-conscious, failing remedial classes girl."
Mishima "...Love-struck, fat, useless girl."
Mishima and I grab each other's hands, locking into a test of strength!
Neither of us backs down, trying to overpower the other with force!
Tanaka "...It's a pro wrestling serious match (cement), huh? Hand-to-hand."
※A stance where both hands (right and left, left and right) are gripped, waiting for a chance to attack. Also called 'tesha.'
Whoa!! Captain Tanaka with a camera is nearby!
Mishima hasn't noticed Captain Tanaka?!
I lose in strength and fall on my backside.
Mishima Satsuki looks at me with a mocking face and hurls insults at me, again?!
Mishima "Seriously, take a selfie with your phone and look at yourself, okay? You've gained so much weight compared to the beauty contest, it's unbelievable! Losing to someone like you is absolutely unforgivable! Don't ever appear in my sight again!"
Triumphantly, Mishima Satsuki throws a parting shot and walks away.
Mishima "Fatty, go eat some pizza!!"
※From a comment by @kurotorikurotori-san on 1/7 (lol)
Tanaka "Ugly... so ugly... Should I show this to Kousuke-kun?"
The captain also leaves without even glancing at me...
☆ ☆ ☆
...Even I can tell.
Mishima Satsuki is mocking me, but she only says what she truly, honestly thinks...
Kuzu-kun said it too...
No way? Have I really gained weight?
No way...
In early November, I had the beauty and polish to overwhelmingly win Miss Hokusho, right?!
And now...?
Just because I didn't exercise for a single month?
Even though I've been holding back on sweets except for low-calorie cakes?
※Enough. The cake was Kuzu's lie; it's extremely high in calories.
I go home, take off my clothes, and stand in my underwear...
No, I take off my underwear too.
I muster my courage and... step onto the scale!
I step on gently, without changing anything.
I tightly shut my eyes.
Trembling, I open my eyes...!
