I Kept Silently Supporting the Lowest-Ranked Idol in the Popularity Rankings, Before I Knew It, I Was in a Shuraba
I decided to answer truthfully because it was obvious that lying in this situation would have worse consequences. Living life according to the situation would be a natural awareness to relate to others.
“Yes, I went to the handshake meeting, but the person I support first and foremost is Masumi-san.”
“…Well, I don’t mind if that’s the case.”
She’s easy. She’s a little too easy, I’m a bit worried. But the way she blushes when she hears what I say is really cute. I’m sure she’ll be in high demand with a lot of guys in the near future.
To tell you the truth, I’m not saying that Rena chan is the only one. There is no rank order in my estimation. I’m idolizing both of them equally.
“Sherbet is amazing. She’s the same age as us, but she’s so brilliant. How can I catch up to her?”
“…”
There’s no need to catch up. Everyone is different and everyone is good. Differences can’t be helped even outside of the idol industry.
It’s true that Sherbet is a head above the rest of her generation, but even Snowy has some advantages over them.
“I don’t think you have to catch up with them. If all of Snowy’s members become national idols like Sherbet, we won’t be able to talk to each other like this.”
“Why is that?”
“Everyone will know about Masumi-san now, so if we’re talking in a place like this and people find out it’s Masumi-san, it’ll be a big problem, right? That’s why.”
”Well…sure…then maybe I can still stay like this. Because I like this time.”
Today is Monday, the day school begins after a fun weekend break.
“As I recall, today’s physical education class was endurance running, right?”
“Akito is fast, so it’s fine. The season is spring, so all the schools are in full swing.”
It’s spring, which means new physical fitness tests are being held at schools all over the country, but our class’s tests will be over once we finish the endurance run.
For now, if I can finish the run like usual, I’ll get a B.
Considering I am an introvert, I think I’m good at sports. Hamada, who is complaining next to me, seems to be in trouble again this year.
“…I mean, this kind of talk is irrelevant. Did you hear about the transfer student?”
“A transfer student?”
“Yeah, the guys in the club that has morning practice saw Watanabe-sensei walking around with a girl they’ve never seen before in the morning.”
Watanabe-sensei is the homeroom teacher of our class and is popular among the students because of his friendly personality.
“A new student at this time of the year?”
The opening ceremony was just a couple of weeks ago, and already we have a new student coming in? If that’s true, it’s not easy for a new student to come to a new school. It’s about the time when class groups are getting established.
In fact, I’m with Hamada here and Momoi-san, who is currently in the bathroom. The three of us have been spending a lot of time together for the past two weeks.
“So, this transfer student is very unique. She was wearing a mask, so I couldn’t see her clearly, but I heard she was very cute.”
“Are you going for it?”
“Ha? Of course I’m going for it. You already have a partner, right?”
“I don’t.”
There’s no one I can call my girlfriend, and there’s no one I like. What is this guy talking about?
“Oh, that’s right. I thought you were another guy. Sorry, sorry.”
“Yeah…”
Hamada looks uncomfortable. Is this guy lying?
“…gohon, I’d like to approach this new student, but how do you think I should go about it?”
Well, okay.
“Well. Confession…”
“Who are you going to confess to? Akito kun?”
