I Liked Her First, but My Brain Was Broken, Then for Some Reason, I Became Friends With Beautiful Girls, So I’m Done My With Childhood Friends
A few days have passed since the cultural festival ended.
Kido san has broken out of her life of being a loner in class and has become a popular person. Her hard work at the maid café and the impact of the events at the beauty contest have blown away the bad rumors and made her a standout.
Nowadays, no one has anything bad to say about Kido san. She may be a little strange, but she has a good personality. She will soon make many friends.
“Hey, Kido san, didn’t your classmates invite you to have lunch with them during lunch break?”
“I was invited. But I turned it down because I wanted to be with Hiro senpai.”
Even though she should be able to lead a fulfilling life from now on, Kido san was on the rooftop just like every other day.
Just when I thought school life would change dramatically with the culture festival over, the scene during lunch break was the same as before.
Today, Matsuyuki san is not here, so it’s just the two of us for the first time in a while.
“I think you should cherish your relationship. If you keep saying no, you won’t get invited anymore.”
“Relationship…… Then, I’ll take good care of it.”
“Yes, you should.”
……Hm? Kido san was talking about her relationship with her classmates, right?
Kido san doesn’t said enough words, you know. I’m afraid she might make a strange mistake sometimes.
“How are you and your sister after that?”
“We had a lot of fun after a long time. We talked a lot.”
Kido san was able to make up with his sister Yuika chan.
Yuika chan also wanted to make up with her sister. At first, she was angry with her sister, but as they were apart for a longer period of time, she realized her mistake.
She became calm, or rather, she became lonely. It may have been natural for her to realize that her sister was protecting her once her heightened feelings subsided.
That is why she came to see her on the pretext of the school festival.
I hurt my sister. It was because she knew that, that Yuika chan was scared that she wouldn’t be forgiven. I thought she was being serious, but it turned out she was just too nervous and her expression was stiff.
When Yuika chan had a fever and Kido san was worried about her and tried to visit her, she told her over the phone not to come over because she didn’t want Kido san to catch a cold. Even though they are sisters, their thoughtfulness is not well conveyed.
I know that is something that is no different from me. It is really difficult to convey one’s feelings.
“Are you listening, Hiro senpai?”
By the way, after the festival, Kido san started calling me ‘Hiro senpai’.
I wonder if this is another sign that we have become good friends. Should I call her by her name too? But I don’t want it to be called sexual harassment….. Hmmm, distance is a difficult thing.
“I’m listening. So, what was it?”
“That, you’re not listening……”
Kido san puffs out her cheeks. I poke them with my finger and they go back to normal with a squishy feeling.
Kido san grabs my hand
“Hiro senpai helped me out a lot. Winning the beauty contest, making up with my sister…I-I don’t think I could have done it without Hiro senpai.”
“Not really. It was all because of Kido san’s skills. And I wasn’t even involved in the band performance, and the reason Yuika chan came was because she was incredibly brave.”
“But, if it wasn’t for Hiro senpai, I couldn’t have been saved at that time !”
At that time…..when the self-righteous man blamed Kido san?
“That was….I was panicking too……. I couldn’t even speak out without changing my character……”
It’s embarrassing to look back on….
What’s with the [Yo !]. Pretending to be a rapper. I don’t know what I was trying to achieve. I completely lost my sense of direction.
That was just the result of seeking an impact that would blow away the bad rumors about Kido san anyway.
That said, I guess it’s a sign of my incompetence that it ended up like that……. If I had been smarter, I wouldn’t have been laughed at.
“I was happy…… I didn’t think there was anyone who would abandon themselves to protect me…”
Kido san pulled me along.
I leaned forward and was embraced by her large body.
My face was buried in two soft spheres. Because of the tightness, I could feel the texture of what was under them all over my face.
“……”
In the past I would have panicked, but Kido san is doing her best to express her gratitude. I kept silent, not wanting to disrupt the atmosphere.
“Hiro senpai……”
After a while, I felt a slight separation between our bodies, and Kido san made me look up.
Before my eyes was Kido san’s serious face. It wasn’t her usual expressionless face, but one that looked prepared for something.
“I-I…you know…..”
Kido san stammered and tried to tell me something.
Maybe she was too nervous because her face was red.
Her blue eyes were trying their best to look at me while resisting to turn them away.
Her lightly tinted lips quivered and she seemed unable to speak.
“……”
If you have something to say, just go at your own pace, Kido san.
Without rushing her, I continued to wait for Kido san to speak.
“H-Hiro senpai, I……..”
“I’m sorry to keep you waiting ! I’ve got great news for you two !”
I can wait forever, but other factors can cause my time to run out.
Matsuyuki san cheerfully opened the rooftop door. Startled by the sound, Kido san jumped wide and away from me. Wasn’t that a tremendous jump just now?
“Huh? Were you exercising, Tsumugi san?”
”Uh-uh, I was….exercising !”
“It’s important to exercise in moderation, you know.”
Matsuyuki san approached us in a good mood, not caring about Kido san’s condition.
“Do you two know about something called a beautiful girl ranking that the boys at our school are doing?”
I was taken aback.
I knew that a boy in my class had told me about it. Was this it? [It’s outrageous that boys are ranking girls like that !] ]Is that what this is about?
I’m not a part of it, but I feel like I might be guilty of this kind of thing just because I’m a boy.
“I just found out the latest ranking of them just a few minutes ago, and I was in first place and Tsumugi san was in second place. Tsumugi san has quickly moved up in the rankings because she won the beauty contest. The number of votes didn’t seem to have much difference, so Tsumugi san might be the top next time.”
“Oh wow.”
Matsuyuki san tells us happily. Kido san, too, is not thinking anything of it, but is honestly surprised.
“Oh, um……are you two okay with it? I think you should be offended that boys are ranking girls.”
“I don’t really mind. It’s just a game anyway. If they show this in public and mock the girls, I will make sure they receive an appropriate punishment.”
Matsuyuki san smiled, but her smile was so powerful that it made me break out in cold sweat on my back.
Boys….. Don’t forget that your games are based on the generosity of girls !
“I’m not interested. As long as they don’t cause trouble, they can do whatever they want.”
“Oops, Tsumugi san. How can you say you are not interested after hearing this result?”
Matsuyuki san smiled, a different kind of smile from before. To me, it looked like the face of a mischievous brat about to play a prank.
“The third place after me and Tsumugi san is……”
Matsuyuki san pauses for some reason.
Is it someone I know? I’m not sure, but the only girl I know who might be able to move up in the rankings is Sugito san.
“That’s Hiro kun ! Yay !”
“Hm?”
“Hiro senpai……?”
Is it my imagination? I thought my name was called just now?
“Matsuyuki san? I must’ve heard it wrong. Did you say my name just now?”
“That’s right. After the school festival, Hiro kun has become very popular. It’s only natural that all the students know your name.”
“Yes?”
No, no, no, no, it’s not right that I’m popular.
Even if that were true, what does it mean to be in the ranking of the most beautiful girls? A ranking of beautiful girls with boys in it is just plain weird !
“You don’t seem to understand. But it’s fine. I’m sure this picture will convince you, Hiro kun.”
Matsuyuki san turned the screen of her phone toward us.
[ [Nnnnnn !?] ]
My voice and Kido san’s voice overlap.
What was on the screen of Matsuyuki san’s phone.
It was my figure wearing a maid’s uniform.
“W-what the !? Why…..this picture?”
“Oh? I never said a word about not knowing that Hiro kun was dressed as a maid.”
I was seen !? When? I mean, this photo !?
“Of course it wasn’t me who took the picture. I was gonna quietly put away Hiro kun’s heroic figure in my heart, and yet….. It seems that some boys let their overflowing libido get the better of them and took a sneak peek. As a result, a lot of boys voted for Hiro kun.”
“Wha-wha-wha-wha…..”
I’m at a loss for words. Ignoring me, Matsuyuki san said,[“I had a hard time getting this picture] and made a gesture to wipe the sweat from her forehead that was not showing.
Kido san grabbed onto Matsuyuki san with a quick movement.
She must be angry as a junior when her senior got treated like this. What a kind girl !
“M-Matsuyuki senpai. Oh, can I have this picture?”
“Kido san !?”
“Of course you can.”
“Matsuyuki san !?”
In order to protect my own dignity, I reached for the phone with my embarrassing photo on it. However, Matsuyuki san and Kido san run away while shouting.
We were on the rooftop, making noise without worrying about anyone’s eyes on us.
Now that we’ve reached a relationship where I can reveal my true self, I’m able to let out all the resentment that’s been building up.
But…..I didn’t like being dressed as a maid, you know !
“I understand. If Hiro-kun says so, then let’s all become maids next time♪”
“Yes?”
“If we all dress the same, it won’t be scary.”
“No, I’m not scared or anything…..”
“Now, now. Maid parties are fun, aren’t they?”
“What’s a maid party……”
Is it Matsuyuki san and Kido san’s maid outfits or …..
I’ve seen Kido san. No, there are different types of maid uniforms, and having them wear something bold is…….
Matsuyuki san would also look good in a maid outfit if only for her looks. I’m afraid that if I really let them play the maid, they might play tricks on me, though……
“How about this? If Hiro kun is willing to be a maid with us, we might become Hiro kun’s maids and…..serve him♡”
“Serve me…..”
“For Hiro kun’s sake, I’ll do anything……”
“Anything…..”
Delusions stirred in my head.
Is this really reality?
It had only been a few months since I started working with the two of them, but they had changed so much that it felt like this was a different world.
”Da…..”
[ [Da?] ]
I breathed in as hard as I could.
“Damn it all—-! !”
I screamed into the blue sky to keep my brain from being destroyed by the gap between reality and fantasy.
Yup. It seems I’m crazy after all.
“Yes, yes. Hiro kun was happy, wasn’t he?”
“Until Hiro- enpai calms down, I’m gonna give you a hug♡”
After all, there are two beautiful girls who won’t leave me alone, even though I’m such a weirdo.
