Outside the classroom, Miura Yumiko found herself for the second time forced to listen in on her boss. But this time was different from the last, when she'd been impressed by Boss Yukino's prowess with men.
Because of her own secret affair with Kanzaki Saku on the train, Yumiko began to put herself in Yukino's shoes.
Yuigahama Yui, on the other hand, was eavesdropping for the first time. In her heart, she had long considered Kanzaki Saku her own man. Yukino had merely gotten a head start thanks to their childhood friendship, committing an act of cuckoldry.
If the two of them were to compete for Kanzaki Saku fairly, Yuigahama believed her bigger assets would definitely bring Kanzaki Saku more pleasure than Yukino ever could.
'Just you wait, Yukino. What you're doing now, I, Yuigahama Yui, will one day repay in full! I'll make you listen from outside the door too!'
The result of this great battle was the same as always: Yukino was left leaning against the wall for support, while Kanzaki Saku was full of life.
To save face, Yukino was unwilling to let the two outside see her in such a weak and helpless state. She didn't personally see Kanzaki Saku out, instead letting him leave on his own.
The clubroom door was gently pulled open, creating a small gap.
Kanzaki Saku slipped out sideways, then gently pulled the door shut behind him, considerately leaving Yukino's shred of pride inside as he faced the two guards outside, each with their own thoughts.
"Yumiko, and Yui, sorry to keep you waiting."
"It's no problem. Just the thought of protecting you fills me with energy," Yuigahama couldn't help but say something suggestive the moment she saw Kanzaki Saku.
Kanzaki Saku remembered his first meeting with Yuigahama. She was severely repressed then, and it seemed even more so now.
Back then, she had seemed to be trying to slander Yukino's image, but now she was so eager to protect Yukino's man. It was obvious she wanted to cuckold Yukino.
"With you and Yumiko here, Yukino and I can both rest easy," Kanzaki Saku said, offering a gratified compliment.
"Don't worry! As long as I'm here, I'll never let any bad woman get within a foot of you!" Yuigahama puffed out her chest as she made her promise, her assets surging with the movement.
As for who qualified as a "bad woman," that was for her, Yuigahama Yui, to decide.
Kanzaki Saku nodded, quite pleased with her words. "Then I'll be in your care."
Yumiko was still lost in her fantasies, unable to extricate herself.
After greeting his two guards, Kanzaki Saku prepared to head back to his classroom. Yuigahama quickened her pace to walk beside him, a triumphant smile on her face.
She was already planning in her head how to use this opportunity to go all the way with Kanzaki Saku.
The familiar classroom, the familiar seat, the familiar pink-haired guitarist.
Yuigahama wasn't a student in this class, so she had to stop at the door. And Yumiko didn't dare interfere with Kanzaki Saku's social life.
So Kanzaki Saku approached Bocchi-chan again.
"Gotoh-san, thank you for what you did at the old school building earlier." Kanzaki Saku had, of course, seen Bocchi-chan hiding behind Hiratsuka Shizuka at the scene.
'He thanked me! Kanzaki-san personally thanked me! I knew it! Did he see my heroic performance today?! That's right, that must be it! It was I, Gotoh Hitori, who stepped up at the critical moment, using my wisdom to buy time and save him.'
Gotoh Hitori's ego was already soaring, and her words reflected it.
"Hmph, it was nothing! I just happen to have some connections. Next time some clueless delinquent girl gives you trouble, just let me know!"
"Is that so? Does that mean next time, I just have to drop your name and I'll be fine? I'll remember that!" Kanzaki Saku said, then turned away without giving Bocchi-chan time to reply.
Of course, he was just teasing Bocchi-chan. If he really ran into trouble, Kanzaki Saku would definitely handle it himself with his body.
But Gotoh-san clearly thought Kanzaki Saku had taken her seriously, and she couldn't admit she was just bragging.
So, for a while after that, Bocchi kept a very low profile, afraid some delinquent girl would pop out of nowhere and beat her up.
However, compared to a trivial matter like personal safety, there was something else Bocchi-chan cared about a great deal.
It was what she had heard before: that Kanzaki Saku and Yukinoshita Yukino were a couple.
'Impossible! Absolutely impossible!'
Bocchi-chan shook her head vigorously, her long pink hair swinging with the motion.
'A boy as gentle and pure as Kanzaki-san is probably still a virgin. How could he possibly fall for a delinquent girl who only knows how to fight and is full of violent thoughts?!'
But the facts were the facts, so Bocchi-chan could only try to find a reasonable explanation for this unreasonable phenomenon.
'That's it! It must be! It must be that Snow Woman who used violence and power to force Kanzaki-san! Forcing him to be her boyfriend. How could the weak Kanzaki-san possibly resist?!'
'Kanzaki-san needs saving! He's waiting for a true hero, a savior as dazzling as Guitar Hero, to rescue him from the clutches of a tyrant!'
But what could she, a misfit who only knew how to play guitar, do?
She had to join a band, become a big star, and after gaining fans, expose all of this, using the cyberbullying of public opinion to defeat real-world violence.
'Kanzaki-san, I, Gotoh Hitori, the future rock superstar, Guitar Hero, will definitely save you from this unfortunate fate!'
Gotoh Hitori looked at Kanzaki Saku's thin back in front of her, so moved by her own thoughts that she was on the verge of tears.
