Book 4.5: Chapter 2: part2
Part 2
I wiped the sweat off my forehead, feeling the intense heat.
"And---why is the actually crucial Kikyo-chan not here? Huh, Ayanokouji?!". And the first thing Ike asked me when I met up with him was asking me about the absence of Kushida.
But I'd like him to not ask me that. Both Horikita and Kushida, it's not like I'm monitoring both their schedules. I think it's only probably because I'm an easy target for them to vent their frustrations on, but I'm also rather sick of this kind of interaction.
"Think about it calmly, Kushida never said she'd go along with us. It's probably just that" I replied to him.
"I'm not going to be satisfied with just that excuse! If Kikyo-chan is not here, there's no meaning to this" Ike said.
That's going too far. I'd like him to stop rejecting this gathering. Leaving aside Ike and the others who were getting overly excited on their own, it seems Kushida invited her other girl friends and went out shopping.
"So I have no choice but to go pre-shopping with a bunch of bastards that I'm not even interested in, that's sad!" Ike continued.
I can understand his feelings in wanting to scream out, but I too, don't wish to go out together with a bunch of sad men like this...and although I am saying this, I found myself enjoying it just a little bit too.
