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
Preparations for the school festival were being made here and there, and it was becoming a common sight at the school.
As it was a high school festival, I had the impression that every class had many creative and elaborate presentations.
Last year, I just endured the passing time of solitude and pain. I now know that I had no time to look around.
“The story of the escape game has been decided, so please prepare something that fits the world view for the accessory staff. The mini-game staff should come up with something with a level of difficulty that even children can play. Our festival attracts a lot of elementary and junior high school students, so I think it would be good to have something that allows them to move their bodies to some extent. As for solving the riddles—“
Class 2A’s program was an escape game.
Since I was the one who came up with the idea, I stood in front of everyone and gave instructions.
This is not like me, I thought to myself.
But I guess no one wants to play the most troublesome role. Preparations were going smoothly without any complaints.
“The escape game is attracting a lot of attention from the other classes. Let’s get everyone fired up !”
Matsuyuki san raised her fist in the air, and her classmates joined ther voices.
The fact that things are going so well is probably due in large part to Matsuyuki san’s presence.
Matsuyuki san has taken on the role of my assistant.
Even though I have a communication disorder, I’m able to do it because Matsuyuki san is my coordinator. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have been able to communicate so smoothly.
“How is Tsumugi san’s maid uniform coming along?”
“It’s going better than I thought it would. At this rate, I think it will be finished earlier than planned.”
Not only can I talk to her about my class, but I can also talk to her about Kido san.
As the festival approaches, I talk with Matsuyuki san in the classroom more and more often.
Matsuyuki san is a person who originally chats amicably with everyone. Since we had a presentation at the festival, no one seemed to think it strange that she and I were talking alone.
“I’ve heard the rumors about Tsumugi san……. It seems to be calming down a little bit. Mitsuki san and Seijuro kun seem to be doing a great job.”
“They both seem to be talking to mainly juniors. It’s amazing that it’s already having an effect.”
“My friends are working mainly with the second and third year students. At this rate, we should be able to quell the bad rumors about Tsumugi san by the day of the festival.”
“If she becomes popular there, the strategy will be a success. How about you?”
“Leave it to me. I’m educating Tsumugi san perfectly.”
Matsuyuki san let out a dark smile and said, [Kukuku !] Could you please stop laughing in such a suspicious way for no reason?
“Anyway, I didn’t know there was a beauty contest at the school festival. I thought that kind of thing only existed in the manga world.”
“In fact, why doesn’t Hiro kun know about it? It happened last year too, right?”
Last year I was in the air……
“I won last year, and you don’t even know that…..”
“So you had the title of ‘the prettiest girl’ in school. I thought it was just something the boys said on their own.”
Apparently, it has become a tradition to have a beauty contest at our school’s festival.
Second and third year students are free to participate, but first year students who are selected are almost forced to participate.
The student council has the right to decide who participates in the beauty contest, regardless of whether they are self-recommended or not. Our student council has a lot of power for nothing……
“No, freshmen are also free to participate in one way or another……. I don’t think there are many people who can say no when a senior tells them.”
Said the person who participated. The fact that Matsuyuki san was unable to refuse must mean that the pressure from the student council was that strong.
In fact, Kido san was also approached and did not refuse. She seems to be a bit of a pushover when it comes to her own business.
“But there are benefits, too. If you make it to the finals, the whole school will recognize you as a cute girl. I heard that my name is always included in the ranking of the prettiest girls, which the boys do in secret.”
Oh, that ranking is mainly based on the members who made it to the final round of the beauyty contest.
Given that, isn’t it amazing that Kidosan was ranked even before she participated in the beauty contest? In terms of potential alone, she may be on par with Matsuyuki san.
“My goal is to win the beauty contest. With Tsumugi san’s looks, I think she has a good enough chance.”
To achieve this, Matsuyuki san is producing Kido san.
I, as a boy, have no say in this matter.
I guess only girls can make a girl pretty.
“If she wins, the whole school will take notice of her. Even if there are some bad rumors, we have the power to blow them away.”
Says the winner of the last beauty contest.
Even if you are just an acquaintance, if you become a celebrity, most people will change the way they treat you.
That may be tough, but you won’t be hated anymore.
If it weren’t for bad rumors, Kido san wouldn’t be the loner I used to be.
“Other than that—”
“Is Matsuyuki here?”
A boy called Matsuyuki san from outside the classroom.
My first impression was that he was a flirtatious guy. And he had an overwhelmingly cheerful aura.
If an extrovert like him approached me, I would be easily obliterated. He had such an atmosphere.
“Masataka kun?”
Matsuyuki san broke off the conversation with me and went to the guy.
“What’s wrong? Did you come all the way here to talk about Chika san’s joke?”
“Of course not. I just wanna confirm something…….”
They were talking happily about something.
“…….”
It’s not uncommon to see Matsuyuki san happily talking with other people.
But right now, she seems to be smiling from the bottom of her heart… It wasn’t the smile she faked showing in front of other people.
I thought that he must be someone special to Matsuyuki san.
“……Hm?”
I feel kind of hazy in my chest.
It’s a strange feeling. Am I feeling pressure because I have so much to do before the festival?
There are many people who are working for Kido san. This is not the time for me to be nervous.
Be quiet, my tension ! I had my fist pressed against my left chest until Matsuyuki san finished talking to the guy.
