19, Compensation

 

“Come to think of it, who was the cheerleading squad for Yuuji-senpai’s class?”

After school, when the members of the sports festival have been selected.

To compensate for skipping lunch in a row, I went into a coffee shop near the station and had a cup of tea while Touka and I talked.

I respond to Touka’s words after my order is brought to the table and my throat is quenched.

“The cheerleading squad, huh? If I remember correctly … A guy named Noguchi from the baseball team and a guy named Yagi from the women’s volleyball team.”

They were the ones who pushed me when I was chosen to be a member of the sports festival.

And I was still sorry that it was neither Nohara nor Nozaki.

“Noguchi-senpai and Yagi-senpai… I didn’t know them at all. … Wait, areh? The cheerleading squad was two boys and two girls in each class for first and second grade, right?”

“As I recall, that’s right … Actually, I don’t remember.”

I remembered Noguchi and Yagi because of the member selection process, but I could not recall the other two.

As I was racking my brains, I heard a laugh, “Hahaha”.

“Things that don’t concern you are rather like that. If you’re in second semester and you still can’t remember the names of your classmates, and that’s why you forgot about them, I’d be worried too.”

Touka said, as if making fun of me.

… I awkwardly look away.

“Eh? A-Areh, what’s wrong, Yuuji-senpai? No way, you really…”

I remain silent and drop my eyes on the seasonal menu.

Uji Kintoki is 680 yen, which is an exquisite price…

As I was thinking like that, Touka must have been concerned about me,

“I’m sorry. …Ah, that reminds me, Asakura-senpai, isn’t he in the cheerleading squad? He seems to like sports festivals a lot, though?”

He said so and changed the subject.

“A-Asakura wants to prioritize his club activities. The guys in our class were recommending him, but he turned them down.”

“I see. I understand.”

After reacting that way, she,

“Our school has blazers, right? I actually wanted to see Yuuji-senpai in gakuran uniform a little.”

Touka said, somewhat disappointed.

“Come to think of it, my junior high school uniform was a gakuran. …It’s not that special”

When I say so,

“Is that true!?”

Touka asked me, somewhat excited.

“Y-Yeah”

“Then show me the next time you’re wearing it!”

“Eh, y-yeah. …Well, if there’s an opportunity”

I respond to Touka’s enthusiasm with hesitation.

Hearing my answer, Touka rejoiced, saying “Yatta!”.

…What are you planning to do when you see me in gakuran? Are you going to laugh at me for looking like a Showa-era yankee?

With doubt, I ask Touka.

“By the way, will Touka not be participating? Being popular in class, you must be recommended, right?”

“Indeed, I was recommended for it. But it was a hassle, so I turned it down.”

“Is that so?”

I am convinced by Touka’s typical words.

“By the way, there’s another reason. …That da*mn shaved-head is also a member of the cheerleading squad.”

She said spitefully..

That da*mn shaved-head…? I wondered for a second, but I guess it was Kai.

Even though he’s no longer shaved, she still seems to dislike Kai.

“I see. He’s popular, so it’s no wonder.”

“That da*mn shaved-head, he’s a good-looking man on the outside. Girls who don’t look at the inside are still kya-kya about him. I really don’t understand.”

I smile wryly at Touka who says so while shrugging her shoulders.

“But instead. I had to participate in the cavalry battle, which seems to be the main event of our sports festival.”

The school’s cavalry is mixed gender, with three pairs of each class competing and 54 pairs of cavalry horses competing without regard to grades.

It has a high point distribution, is a competition held at the end of the day, and is certainly the most festive event.

“Yeah, I got to be on that one too.”

“Heh, I see. Then we’ll have to fight each other as enemy teams in the main event… Eh?”

Come to think of it, I will be in a different group from Touka, so we will be on opposite teams.

I thought as I looked at Touka, who had a look of surprise on her face.

“…Senpai, are you going to participate in a cavalry battle?”

“Yeah. And besides that, I got to participate in a lot of different events.”

Touka looks shaken by my answer.

“W-Why? Senpai, I thought you weren’t so good at this kind of event…”

“Asakura, Ike, Kana. And Noguchi and Yagi, whom I mentioned earlier … The whole class entrusted it to me.”

I say with a little embarrassment.

Then Touka looks stunned.

…Did I say something so unbelievable?

That’s what I thought as I looked at her,

“T-Touka!? What’s wrong?”

To my surprise.

A single tear spilled from the corner of Touka’s eye.

“That surprised me. I’m sorry, Yuuji-senpai. It’s not that I cried because of something sad, so please don’t worry.”

Saying so, Touka wiped her tears with a hand towel.

“Even if you tell me not to worry… are you really okay?”

“Yes, I’m fine. …I was happy.”

“…What do you mean?”

I ask Touka, who has a gentle smile on her face.

Then she gave a shy smile and opened her mouth.

“A lot of people were able to take a good look at senpai. … As your lover, I’m very proud.”

Apparently, she was happy that I, who had been out of place at school, was able to fit in properly in the class.

I felt sorry for causing Touka unnecessary worry, but I was happy that she was genuinely happy.

As usual, I had to resist the urge to blurt out in embarrassment that I’m a “fake” lover, though,

“…Thank you, Touka.”

I thanked her.

“It’s nothing to be thankful for, you know?”

Touka said in amazement,

“…However, it is good that Yuuji-senpai’s good points are known by others, but it would be a problem if it becomes difficult to eat lunch with senpai who has become popular.”

She continued, with a troubled look on her face.

“You don’t even have to worry about that. …Besides, just in case. And even if that were to happen…”

I chuckled at her words,

“Wouldn’t it be nice if we all had lunch together?”

Toward Touka, I told her so.

When she heard what I said,

“Senpai… Do you know the word “don’t count your chickens before they’re hatched”?” (Note: means to not make plans that depend on something before it actually happens.)

She said, shrugging her shoulders and making fun of me.

“I know Touka has been the one to bring this up. If I take a ride, what kind of a trap is being set…”

I mutter so with dissatisfaction.

Then, Touka said, “Ahaha, I’m sorry!” She laughed strangely.

Seeing her laughing face made me kind of strange, too, and I couldn’t help but smile?.

    PepT1 is liable for absorbing small peptides from our diet, and PepT1 is discovered in the intestine epithelial cells.

    Zero severe side effects found in animal or human studies – even at excessive doses.
    Your liver handles it simply since it’s simply three natural amino
    acids. KPV blocks this by lowering DNA damage from inflammatory chemical compounds.
    Mouse studies present it lowers colon most cancers danger by
    40% in high-inflammation conditions.

    provider with any questions you might have relating to a medical condition.
    The newest analysis on hormones in this class have proven immunomodulating and anti-inflammatory effects.
    KPV has many makes use of with both auto-immune and inflammatory circumstances.
    To recap, a peptide is a small protein, made up
    of a chain of amino acids. They can be utilized therapeutically to help with totally different health situations.

    1295/Ipamorelin, BPC 157, PT 141, Ta1, VIP and Thymosin Beta four.
    One Other distinguishing function of TB-500 is its capacity to advertise
    angiogenesis (the formation of latest blood vessels), which is crucial
    for delivering oxygen and vitamins to therapeutic tissues (Maar et al.).

    Any individual in search of any advice on any prescription medicine, or any illness or situation, is advised to chorus
    from using this website and seek the assistance of their healthcare supplier.

    Statements relating to merchandise presented on Peptides.org are the opinions of the individuals making them
    and usually are not necessarily the same as those of Peptides.org.

    — besides the brain peptides / bioregulators which might become too stimulating even at low
    doses if you by no means pause. KPV is prepared to reduce the
    type of irritation that results in a hypertrophic scar (keloid) formation. Administering KPV (a-MSH) in this setting results in smaller scars and less drastic inflammatory response.
    Part of the benefit in reducing scar prominence appears to come back
    from its capacity to modulate collagen metabolism. Research in wound therapeutic exhibits KPV
    can speed wound healing, scale back an infection, struggle
    irritation, and lead to better cosmetic outcomes
    (Böhm M, 2019).
    In addition, with its origins in ?-MSH, KPV has demonstrated therapeutic value related to immune
    perform, namely antimicrobial and wound-healing potential.
    Merchandise and peptides referenced on this web site could additionally be supposed for analysis purposes solely.
    The views expressed in our content material symbolize instructional interpretation of available research and don’t
    constitute medical steerage. Analysis findings
    discussed are subject to ongoing scientific investigation and shouldn’t be thought of conclusive.
    Some practitioners add KPV peptide to create a “KLOW” protocol
    with extra antiinflammatory advantages. This extended mixture targets even more regenerative pathways for complete healing support.
    Important safety elements embody using pharmaceutical-grade peptides from reputable
    sources, following correct sterile injection strategies,
    and avoiding excessive dosing.
    It decreases the inflammatory response by inhibiting proinflammatory
    cytokine (molecule) synthesis and secretion (Dalmasso G, 2008).
    KPV can cease the proinflammatory mechanisms in each intestinal epithelial cells and
    immune cells (Dalmasso G, 2008). It can interact instantly with immune cells which can reduce irritation (Dalmasso G, 2008).

    Whereas KPV is targeted on irritation management
    and immune system regulation (Land), TB-500 has a extra
    direct function in accelerating the structural restore
    of soppy tissues (Liao et al.). From what I’ve seen, combining KPV with GLP-1 remedy is probably
    one of the most missed methods for intestine well
    being and controlling inflammation. KPV is a potent irritation reducer, mast cell
    tamer and pathogen fighter (antifungal / antimicrobial).

    Sure, though we advocate occasional breaks after 30–60 days depending on use case.
    Protocols could also be adjusted based mostly on severity
    of signs, period of inflammation, and response to remedy.

    One of KPV’s most fun applications is in therapeutic the
    intestinal mucosal barrier. It enhances epithelial cell regeneration, reduces inflammatory signaling, and promotes tight junction integrity—crucial for addressing leaky gut, IBD,
    and food sensitivities.
    One animal examine concerned KPV being administered to mice with ulcerative colitis.
    KPV considerably decreases irritation in the colon by inhibiting proinflammatory cytokine
    (molecule) synthesis and secretion [5]. In Contrast To most peptides, a KPV dose may
    be administered not just by way of injection but additionally
    orally in pill and spray form or topically as a cream.

    In one study of KPV using a mouse ulcerative colitis model, KPV considerably decreased inflammation within the colon by
    inhibiting proinflammatory cytokine (molecule) synthesis and secretion [5].
    Unlike most peptides, a KPV dose could additionally be administered not just via injection, but also orally in pill and spray form, or topically as a cream.
    KPV (lysine-proline-valine) is the C-terminal end of a larger melanocortin peptide hormone referred to as alpha melanocyte-stimulating hormone (?-MSH), which is produced in the physique.

    A melanocortin receptor agonist, ?-MSH is synthesized in the pituitary gland of most
    vertebrates, and is liable for regulating vitality stability
    [1].
    An overwhelming physique of medical proof means that KPV
    exerts its robust anti-inflammatory properties via numerous necessary
    mechanisms. KPV exerts its anti-inflammatory function inside cells, where it inactivates
    inflammatory pathways. KPV can enter the cell and interacts directly with inflammatory signaling molecules.

    Earlier Than embracing short-chain peptides, we were
    leaving so many healing opportunities out of our
    toolbox. Can you use a special stack of peptides whereas in the course of a 2month break from
    a cycle. Do u need to offer your body a break
    from every thing or are you capable to start another cycle with completely different peptide.

    Whereas there could additionally be completely different types of peptide, it’s usually the injectable type
    that provides the utmost bioavailability. However, injectable type is a
    robust contraindication in individuals with bleeding disorders or pores and skin infections.
