22, A Dangerous Guy In The Cheerleading Squad

“It’s so hot, isn’t it? Isn’t it a real punishment to have a sports festival in such intense heat~?”

“We need to be careful of heat stroke, not only on the actual day, but during practice as well.”

I reply to Touka, who looks fed up with the harsh sunlight.

“Somehow, the word just now. You sound like a teacher, Senpai.”

With the students working hard at their club activities, sweating brightly, Touka and I were about to head home.

I replied while being cautious that Touka’s words were just a joke.

“Is that so?”

“That’s right. Or rather, maybe senpai is quite suited to be a teacher.”

Touka said in a flash of brilliance.

It is a mystery on what basis Touka said such a thing.

I thought about it a little,

“No, I am not suitable for it.”

I replied, thinking of Makiri-sensei at the time of the on-time, who was both strict and kind, with a heart for her students.

…I tried not to think about the clumsy Makiri-sensei.

“Eh? In chivalrous movies, it is said that the hired bouncer is called “Sensei”, right?”

“Eh, Sensei? Did they say that?”

I was surprised at the difference in recognition between Touka and me, and at the same time shuddered at the fact that she was watching a chivalrous movie.

“I’m just kidding. Senpai certainly has a scary face, but once people get used to you, they realize that you also have the charm of a big dog.”

Touka said while grinning.

I look at her silently.

I hope she’s not teasing me again…

“Ah, I’m just saying that you might be a good school teacher, you know?”

I look at Touka without letting my guard down.

She opens her mouth with a straight face.

“Senpai, you’re very caring and good at teaching others how to study.”

“Is that … so?”

“That’s so. And above all…”

She opened her mouth with an upward glance at me.

“I think you would look super good as a life guidance teacher, don’t you~? If you had a bamboo sword or something like that, it would be a super dangerous, though”

Ahaha, I look at Touka, who is laughing with her big mouth open, with the thought, “What is this girl?”

By the way, our high school’s life guidance does not have a bamboo sword as standard equipment.

I let out a sigh and keep walking.

Then I looked inexplicably toward the schoolyard and saw a sight I was not used to seeing.

“Hmm, that’s the cheerleading squad practice, right?”

I muttered, and Touka also turned her gaze in that direction.

“Geh…”

For some reason she muttered so.

One of the special programs of the sports festival is the cheerleading performance performed by each group. …Apparently.

Apparently, I said, because last year I skipped the sports festival as usual.

So I’m not quite sure if it’s a special program.

Still, I’m looking forward to this year’s cheerleading squad performance.

As for why…

“Ani… Tomoki-senpai! Thank you for your hard work!”

Short hair with raised bangs, sunburned and dark skin.

He found me, waving his arms, which were stronger than before by several degrees, and he approached me with a friendly smile on his face.

“Yeah, good job, Kai.”

The reason I look forward to the cheerleading squad.

That’s because a junior who adores me, Kai Rekka, is a member of the cheerleading squad.

“Such wasteful words for me!”

Said Kai being grateful.

“Yeah, yeah, you know very well. It’s really a waste of time for Yuuji-senpai to talk to you. That’s why, goodbye! We’re going home. Kai-kun, do your best in the cheerleading squad.”

Touka declares so in a firm tone of voice and tries to pull me along.

“Isn’t it fine if we stand and talk for a while?”

But you can’t drag a big guy like me by force.

I remain unmoved from that spot.

Touka gives me a dissatisfied glare.

“Oh, Touka was here too? Otsukare.”

Kai replied with low tension.

Tch, Touka clicked her tongue in a small voice.

…It’s a small problem for me that two rare juniors who get along with me don’t get along with each other.

“What’s it like practicing for the cheerleading squad?”

While feeling a little awkward, I ask Kai.

With a happy expression on his face,

“Well, everyone is quite motivated, and the seniors and juniors are on good terms, so the atmosphere is great!”

He answers cheerfully.

“Heh, is that so? Then I’m looking forward to the performance.”

“Yes, I’m looking forward to cheering for Tomoki-senpai at the actual event!!!”

Kai responds with all his might.

“No, we and senpai are in different groups. Are you stupid? How about you just die?”

Touka cursed while directing a cold gaze.

“A little bit of obstacle is always a good thing…right!?”

Kai said while making an upward glance at me.

…Is he talking about an obstacle race? I wondered what was going on all of a sudden,

“Yeah. Maybe so.”

To me, for now, I’ll just go along with the flow of the conversation,

“S-Senpai…!?”

Touka gives me a startled look and,

“S-Senpai…!?”

Kai with an ecstatic expression.

“Kuh, he is definitely misunderstanding something, this senpai…! Anyway, you should go back to your cheering squad practice, because if you stay here forever, people will think you’re slacking off!”

Touka waved her hand to chase away Kai.

“You’re right. Enough for today… Now, if you’ll excuse me, Tomoki-senpai!”

Kai, his cheeks flushed bright red, bowed his head toward me before joining the cheerleading squad.

After that,

“I think you misunderstood a lot of things earlier, and I don’t think those things are going to happen out of the blue either, but anyway.”

Touka, who was looking straight at me with an unusually serious expression on her face, opened her mouth.

“Be careful when that guy is behind you…”

“What’s that? Is my life in danger?”

With a wry smile, I responded to Touka’s strange joke,

“…To put it bluntly, something as important as your life is being targeted.”

Touka, again with a serious expression on her face, continues the joke.

…I know you’re trying to make a joke, but I don’t get it.

I don’t know how to follow up in this kind of situation,

“Eh, yeah… I’ll be careful.”

And I answer anyway.

“I-am-se-ri-ous! Please be careful, okay?”

Touka puffs out her cheeks and reminds me with a stern look, and I nod with my hands up as if in surrender.

Rather than worrying about Touka’s vague advice, I wondered if there was anything I could do to repair the relationship between Kai and her.

    Scientists rightly wished a molecule that handled persistent
    inflammation – and solely irritation – with out having different unwanted effects.
    Common readers of my website will instantly acknowledge ?-MSH as a result of the therapeutic peptides Melanotan I and Melanotan II are synthetically derived
    from it. It’s the smallest peptide I’ve seen but its measurement is not
    a mirrored image of its highly effective health benefits… ESPECIALLY for the chronically infected.
    I even have developed psoriasis in my 30s and would like to avoid systemic
    immune therapies. The time period “Mildew Illness” is commonly used to describe a variety of
    signs and situations that may end result from publicity to
    molds, notably certain types of mold that produce mycotoxins.
    Mycotoxins are toxic substances produced by some molds as they develop.

    The protocol also differs from normal anti-aging therapies by
    addressing multiple factors directly. Rather than targeting just wrinkles or simply pores and skin texture, it
    improves general skin health by way of higher collagen and elastin manufacturing, improved blood circulate, and reduced irritation. Traditional wound care
    focuses on external interventions like bandages and topical medicines.

    The combination method provides distinct benefits over using every
    peptide separately. Certain warning indicators require instant medical attention, including spreading redness, extreme ache that worsens, systemic allergic reactions, or persistent fever.

    The GLOW protocol is generally well tolerated, but understanding potential reactions helps you
    use it safely.
    Essential for athletes using different efficiency aids that improve oxidative stress.

    It does this by signaling them to work appropriately and not overreact (which leads to inflammation and mast cell
    activation). KPV can speed wound therapeutic, reduce an infection, battle
    irritation, and lead to better beauty outcomes.
    The major perform of each these peptides is to advertise wound healing however similar to Pentosan,
    the origin of each the peptides differ. It can be safely used
    by patients who have been recognized with autoimmune ailments such as psoriasis, ulcerative colitis,
    rheumatoid arthritis, and other inflammatory circumstances.

    We mix peptide therapy with superior lab testing, nutrition, and functional medication protocols to get to the foundation trigger and deliver actual results.

    Fortuitously, a little-known therapeutic peptide called LL-37 is an efficient antimicrobial remedy that neither mold nor MARCoNS can become immune to.
    The thymus gland can also be the place T-cells are developed,
    absolutely matured, and released into your lymph system or blood vessels to identify, isolate, and fight
    foreign invaders like mycotoxins.
    KPV is a robust chain terminal tripeptide of alpha-MSH, which is produced
    by melanotrope cells in the intermediate lobe of the pituitary gland.
    The tripeptide is famous for its anti-inflammatory activity and has been shown to speed up wound
    healing. When seeking to investigate a peptide to minimize back irritation or velocity up wound healing, researchers could contemplate purchasing KPV
    for the subsequent study. KPV has been reported to be usually well-tolerated based on the results of various animal research [2, four, 11].

    • I choose capsules whenever attainable as a end result
    of you’ll have the ability to rather more easily adjust
    the dose – down or up. For this post, I concentrated on peptides
    most beneficial to my daughter and children. Integrative Peptides
    (and all manufacturers on this post) have further peptides to the
    ones we have tried. Also, please know, peptides are given to children by many medical doctors but
    I cannot specifically advise others what to make use of or what age range is secure.

    One research confirmed that the artificial peptide (CKPV)2, which was designed based on KPV (?-MSH11-13), confirmed very low toxicity to host cells [13].
    But another research was performed to analyze
    the effects of KPV on corneal epithelial wound
    therapeutic in rabbits. For a interval of 4 days, rabbits have been handled
    with KPV 1, 5 or 10 mg/ml (30 microl), two drops four times in a day.
    Within sixty hours, the corneas of all subjects handled with KPV were utterly re-epithelized, whereas none in the placebo
    group confirmed signs of therapeutic [10].
    These ultra-short peptides are sufficiently small
    to enter the cell nucleus, work together with the DNA, and instruct our genes.
    In this examine, Vasoactive Intestinal Polypeptide Plays a Key Position within the Microbial-Neuroimmune Control of Intestinal
    Motility – ScienceDirect, they confirmed it can deal with each IBS-C and IBS-D.
    Nonetheless, for people who must foster a Th2 response, it can be difficult to search out therapies and VIP is an option. This shift
    may be useful for people with Th1 dominant pro-inflammatory circumstances.

    The only products I even have bought from Limitless (so far) are nasal sprays.
