I Kept Silently Supporting the Lowest-Ranked Idol in the Popularity Rankings, Before I Knew It, I Was in a Shuraba
When I turned my eyes toward the person who called out to me, to my surprise, standing there was Tsuyuri, with whom I had discussed my oshi yesterday.
Her face was smiling, but her eyes did not seem to be smiling. It seems that she has something on her mind about this situation.
When I looked around, everyone in the class was looking at me.
She must have been the reason why the cheerful people were making so much noise. Surely that explains what they were talking about.
Tsuyuri san is really beautiful, isn’t she? And on top of that, she stopped me yesterday when I wasn’t feeling well and treated me well.
It’s impossible to say that she is not popular.
I guess she just happened to pass by this classroom and found me, so she came to have a little chat with me.
“Good morning Tsuyuri san. Thank you for yesterday.”
“No problem. I was a little concerned about a few things, but I really enjoyed it too.”
Tsuyuri san smiling at me. Too dazzling to look away… and Momoi-san and Shimizu-san were standing there looking like demons.
Hey, are you mad at me? Did I do something to make you angry? I didn’t do anything. Are you angry at being the center of attention? That’s the only possible explanation.
“I’m sorry I left without saying anything. I didn’t want to cause you any more trouble.”
“That’s right. Why did you leave?! I had something I wanted to do after I got out of the bath.”
“What did you want to do?”
“Hey, Akito? What on earth are you talking about?”
“I agree with you on that. What is Akito talking about? It seems that he is good friends with the most talented girl of the school year.”
I was interrupted. I can’t solve the problem unless I understand why you are angry first.
But you know what? I read in a book that it’s not allowed to ask directly. Girls want boys to understand them.
The world has become a difficult place for men to live in. I’ve only lived in the current world.
Oh yes, I have a good idea. Maybe, but Momoi-san and Shimizu-san feel resentment toward Tsuyuri.
And my feeling is to build a friendship where everyone can have fun and get along. I think I can be a good bridge.
In fact, at the time of Shimizu-san, I was the first one to become friends with her, and Momoi-san and Shimizu-san became good friends when we started eating together at the lunch time.
I think we can go in the same way this time.
“That’s right. Tsuyuri-san has the same idol I like, and yesterday I visited her house and we talked about our oshi. Unlike the image everyone has of Tsuyuri san, she is an easygoing and kind-hearted person, so I think we will get along well.
“That’s not what I’m asking, right, Nagisa?”
“Yes, why do you keep bringing up such irritating things?”
The reason is different from what I had in mind. I’m going to give up now. I knew that girls are far beyond a man’s comprehension.
I’m asking too much of them. Men are not such perceptive creatures. They’re just like you guys.
I can’t think of a way out of this situation. I need someone to help me.
“Akito kun. It must be hard everyday being surrounded by these vixens. How about it? Why don’t you come to me?”
“What do you mean?”
Is the vixen referring to Momoi and the others? I am certainly in trouble right now, but I don’t think they’re just angry about the current situation.
I just don’t know how to solve it. I don’t think going to Tsuyuri san’s place will change anything.
“Why don’t we go to the rooftop? There is still time before homeroom starts. The two of you seem to be unable to contain your anger, so I thought that Akito and I might be able to come up with a solution.”
… It certainly might be a good idea. You are a brilliant woman. She’s smart and beautiful, heaven has given her two things, right?
“I understand. Let’s go.”
I didn’t know it at the time. She had her back to me and was gently licking her tongue with an eerie smile on her face.
