PHASE 67 - THE "I HAVE A GIRLFRIEND" BOMB

PHASE 67 - THE “I HAVE A GIRLFRIEND” BOMB

It’s another day at school.

Rikkun and I went together to this classroom like regular mornings, but we didn’t utter any word to each other the whole time. That event last night is the cause of it. I broke his nose and I purposely didn’t heal it for the rest of the night, to make him suffer a little bit more. Just count it as a way to discipline my boyfriend.

He peed on the waterfalls where I’m meditating. I don’t mind being peed on by the man I love. In fact, I’m delighted about that… wait, that’s not my weird fetish! I-I’m just mad because he dishonored the holy waterfall of the Kozukata Shrine.

Rikkun is laying on his desk as he continues to press the ice bag on his nose. He looks so cute and pitiful like an injured baby deer who got hit by a truck on his snout. It will hinder his performance in class, so finally, I decided to heal it.

“Promise me that you won’t disrespect the shrine again!” I held my hips and sermoned like a big sister.

“Right, right.” Rikkun lazily answered with his half-awake looking eyes. “Just heal me already, I can’t use to myself.”

I covered my fingers with glowing green prana and touched my boyfriend’s nose, like boop! And in an instant, his sinuses are clear from injury and clotted blood.

Since we officially became a couple, the number of times I break Rikkun’s nose has significantly become lower. It’s because the girls are no longer confessing to him, considering that he’s now taken and in a happy relationship with me.

But I think I shall break his nose more because of some other reason…

It’s already lunchtime, and we decided to eat in our classroom. When Rikkun and I were about to open our lunch boxes, my classmates Divina, Faye, and Trisha grabbed my attention.

"U-Ummm, Tiara... May we have a word with you?" Divina said.

"Sure!" I answered jollily.

We went outside the classroom, away from my boyfriend. They really looked like they have to say something really urgent without Rikkun hearing it.

“M-Miss Divina… What do you want to discuss with me?” I asked the class representative.

“Errr… You see…” Divina scratched her head. “There’s something we have to tell you… about your boyfriend Alaric.”

“What is it? Did he do something really rude again?”

“Actually, it’s THAT rude. It’s just that… none of the girls can talk to him. None, other than you. He’s keeping an invisible barrier between us girls and himself, so there’s no way we can communicate with him.” My other classmate Faye said.

“I… I want to ask a favor.” My other classmate Trisha said as she gave a folder to my hand. “I wanted to relay this thesis paper to Alaric, but I can’t talk to him. You see, he’s our groupmate in our Biochemistry class. Please tell him that we need to revise the statistics.”

This story originates from a different website. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.

“Sure, I’ll give it to him,” I answered with a smile to the depressed classmate of mine. “But is it really true that Rikkun is putting up a barrier between you girls?”

“Watch and see,” Divina spoke as he entered back in the classroom and decided to approach my boyfriend.

Rikkun is lazily staring at the window. He's relaxing his mind by gazing upon the clear blue skies. He hasn’t opened his lunch box yet since he’s waiting for me. He seemed preoccupied in daydreaming, but our class representative proceeded to disturb him anyway.

“Hey there, Alaric~” Divina cheerfully said. “What nice weather we have-”

“I have a girlfriend.” Rikkun abruptly cut the girl without even making an effort to look at her face.

“U-Uwaaaaah!!! Alaric ignored me!” Divina rushed out of the room crying.

“It’s my turn next,” Trisha said as she took back their thesis papers from my hand. “I’ll show you how severe it is.”

My classmate Trisha approached Rikkun at the back in the same manner how Miss Divina did it. Rikkun stayed the same, daydreaming in the windows. But he knows that there is some girl trying to talk with him from behind.

“H-Hey, Alaric. Professor Itch said that we should revise the statistics part of the thesis. He said that we should use another method of calculating-”

“I have a girlfriend.”

The bomb drops again.

But Trisha is determined to talk sense to Rikkun, for the sake of their collective grades in the Biochemistry class. “Hey, listen! This is for our thesis-”

“Stop flirting. I already have a girlfriend.”

“I’m not flirting-!!!”

“I have a girlfriend.”

As soon as the last bomb exploded, Trisha came out running to me as she screams “Uwaaaahhhh!!! Alaric ignored me too!!!”

“It’s my turn next!” Faye pumped her fists. “I’ll show you what kind of douchebag your boyfriend is!”

Then she rushed inside the classroom. I was about to reach out and stop her, but she already made her way to the Arrogant King. Seriously, they already proved their point the moment Divina was bombarded. They don’t really have to suffer from my boyfriend’s rude tongue.

Faye held her heart and mustered her courage to talk to Rikkun. She made a long inhalation, something like “Oooooof...”. And then unleashed the air from his lungs with a heavy exhale. “Hooooo….”

Rikkun is purely merciless. He didn’t let the girl speak.

“I have a girlfriend.”

“B-But I’m just breathing-”

“I have a girlfriend.”

“U-Uwaaaahhh!!! Alaric is so rude!” Faye exited the scene as she hollered like a kid that got her lollipop stolen by a bully.

“That’s enough!” I said with a serious voice. I can feel flames surging through my veins as I clench my fists. Rikkun seriously needs to stop acting like that to my fellow girl classmates. I need to discipline him.

My heavy feet gave an echoing stomp every time I make my step closer to Rikkun. My bystander classmates ran away as they saw my furious glare on my eyes and the hellish radiation I’m emitting.

Rikkun is still carelessly daydreaming while looking at the blue skies. He hasn’t noticed me yet. In fact, he’s even yawning.

When I’m about a half-meter away from him, he heard my footsteps. Assuming that it’s some other girl pestering him again, he refused to look at me. Instead, he dropped another bomb.

“I have a girlfriend.”

“Rikkun~” I smiled innocently as I cracked my fists.

“I have a girlfriend.” There he goes again. It's clear that he didn't hear my voice yet proceeded to be rude anyway.

“Yeah, I know... I am your girlfriend~”

Rikkun must have realized that he’s talking to me this time. So he finally faced me, clueless on what I’m going to do to him next.

“Oh, Darling! Are you done talking with the trash- I mean the girls? Let’s have lunch now! I’m quite hungry-PWAHAK!!!”

After that left straight, I shouted at him.

“Stop being rude to other girls! How many times do I have to tell you!? They’re not even confessing! They just wanted to talk to you! And yet you abruptly turn them down!”

And then...

I sermoned him on “How to talk to girls properly” that took one hour long.

Geez, when will he ever learn?
