The school prince (♀) is only close to me (♂) Remake

(Side) Chapter 42.5

"Aaaaaaaaahhhh! He's getting closer! He's getting closer! Do something Hideo!"

"And what I'm going to do? Takkun is going to beat my ass if he gets me!"

"And he'll do the same to me if he gets me! Aaaaaaahhhhh!"

"Aaaaaaaahhhhh! *Gasp* Climb that tree Akari! Quick!"

Then out of desperation, Hideo and Akari both began to climb a pretty big tree, and they both stopped at two different branches that were safely out of reach from Takeru's hands, and for a moment Hideo's plans appeared to have worked, as Takeru stopped chasing after them as just stared at them from below

"... Do you think he's going to climb the tree?"

"I hope he doesn't... Hm?... ... ... *Makes a surprised despairing face*"

Then just as Hideo feared, Takeru began to climb the tree with the intention of reaching him, since he was on a lower branch

"Akari! Prepare yourself! On three!"

"G-Got it!"

" "..." "

As they both waited for Hideo's order, the two looked at Takeru slowly getting closer to them, and when Takeru finally put a hand on the branch that Hideo was using and began to climb it. Hideo opened his mouth...

"Three!"

And he and Akari both jumped down from the tree, and safely landed on the ground, and then they both started running away from the tree, leaving Takeru there

"..."

When Taker looked at the two running away again, he decided to go after them again, but this time there was one problem... He was now stuck on the tree, and when he looked at the distance that he was from the ground, he began to feel fear of getting down by himself

"Haa... Haa... Haa... ... ... Huh? Where's Takkun?"

"Hm? Isn't he behind us?"

"No"

" "... ... ..." "

"Wait, don't tell me that he's..."

"UWAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!"

When Hideo and Akari heard a very familiar voice shouting in a very teary tone, they both felt their bodies turning cold. Because for them, a crying Takeru was their biggest fear since it would always mean that... Their mother would get angry at them for either letting Takeru get into a dangerous situation or getting Takeru to cry because they accidentally got him into a situation that caused him to feel pain or scared

So the two rushed back to the tree, and saw Takeru stuck on the branch as he cried, and seeing that situation, Hideo and Akari could only do one thing... Panic a lot

"W-w-w-w-what do we do?! We need to get him out of there before mom comes!"

"H-How about one of us climb there, and try to pick him?!"

"He's going to start trying to hit us for getting him up there the moment we get close to him!"

"Kuh! You're right! Aaaaaaaaahhhh!! I don't know what to do!"

"Me neither! Aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh!!!"

"OI! What the hell did you two do?!"

" "Ah!" "

And then the last person they wanted to see appeared, the mother of the three siblings, Emily Tanaka, or in this case Tanaka Emily. At first, she only had noticed the two screaming, but with her appearance, Hideo and Akari turned silent, leaving only Takeru to loudly cry, which caused her to notice it

"Huh? ?! Why is Takkun on a tree?!"

"Erm... Hmm... W-We were just playing around..."

"A-And then we... ended up Takkun get angry us... And we tried climbing the tree to escape from him..."

"And he ended up climbing after us..."

"So you two both got and let him get into that situation"

" "... Noooo... Yes..." "

"... After I get him down, you two will be in deep trouble"

"D-D-Don't worry, mom! That branch is totally safe!"

*Crack*

Right after Hideo said that the sound of something breaking could be heard, and when they looked at the source, all they could do was watch the branch breaking and falling with Takeru

*Crack* *Thud*

"..." (x4)

"... UWWWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!"

"TAKERU?!"

Because of the pain caused by his fall, Takeru began to cry even more while Emily rushed towards him to aid him and see if he had gotten any serious injury. As for Hideo and Akari, the two could only stand still as rivers of tears began to fall from their eyes, since they knew what would be coming for them later because Takeru's short fuze was inherited from their mother

When Takeru was 9 years old

*Phone ringing*

A phone on top of a desk could be heard, and just a moment after it started ringing, a hand picked it up and connected to the call

"Hello, this is Tanaka Emily... What?... Takkun got into a fight?!"

Some hours later

Emily was running down the school's corridor until she found Takeru in front of the teacher's office, alongside a teacher and three other parents with their children behind them

"Takkun! Takkun!"

Emily went directly to Takeru and then crouched down, and with a worried face she asked

"Did you win or lose?"

"Win"

"Nice!"

"Hey! Your son punched my kid in the face"

One of the other parents got angry at Emily for praising Takeru, so he tried to stop her

"You shut up. If Takkun punched your son, he definitely deserved it"

"Wha?! My son did nothing wrong! It's yours who started a fight for no reason, isn't that right, sensei?"

"Eh? Me? Well, all I know is that Takeru-kun managed to beat three kids singlehandedly"

"That answers nothing, Takkun. Tell me why you beat their asses"

"They made fun of my face and then they tried to forcibly cut my hair!"

The parents of the three kids, the teacher, and Emily, all looked at the three kids, and the three all looked away, due to the pressure targeted at them, though it was mostly from Emily's intimidating glare. Which pretty much confirmed, that it was exactly as Takeru had said

"You three better start giving your kids a better education at home, because the next time I hear that those brats picked da fight with Takkun, I swear that I'll beat you three to the point that you all will wish to have never met me. Now, let's go home Takkun!"

Emily took Takeru's hands and walked away from there with him, leaving everyone else there trembling in fear
