I Managed to Bring Down the Entire Family of That Impossible-To-Conquer S-Class Beauty, Completely Filling in Her Outer Moat
Dammit, damn it! She rejected my confession! Just because she’s pretty, she thinks she can get away with anything!!
I, Hikawa Fumihiko, was venting my rage in my room as flashbacks of what happened in the classroom the day before yesterday flooded my mind.
That girl, Amagiri China, rejected me. Me, the guy with a 100% success rate on confessions!
“Ugh, just thinking about it makes me so angry. I wanted to start dating her right away and do whatever I wanted!”
Honestly, I believe I’m a chosen person.
No matter how much adversity I face, fate is on my side, and I have this โprotagonist constitutionโ that always leads to the outcome I desire.
โโฆWait, hold on? If she’s impossible, I could just seduce her entire family to isolate her. Pfft, brilliant idea just hit me~~wโ
Luckily, I know China’s family structure, and I’ve seen all six of them walking together outside, so I know their faces.
My luck works on everyone, young or old, male or female. Alright then, just you wait, China. I’ll make you mine soon enough.
โI’ll probably run into them while casually walking around. I’ve got crazy luck.โ
I casually brushed off the messages from the girls on my phone, changed clothes, and headed out.
As usual, the sound of squeals reached my ears. An S-class handsome guy deserves an S-class beauty, after all.
After walking for a while, I got a little hungry and stopped at a convenience store.
I grabbed some random snacks and paid. Moving to the eat-in area, I saw a young boy sitting alone, eating sweets.
(Whoa, waitโฆ isn’t thatโฆ China’s little brother, Akitoshi!?ใThis world is just too much~)
He flashes a sly, defiant grin, but quickly puts on his usual friendly facade.
If I could befriend him here and get invited back to his placeโฆ Heh, perfect.
I approaches Akitoshi and speaks up.
โHey, are you here alone?โ
“โฆNo, I’m waiting for a friend. Who are you?”
โI’m Fumihiko. What are you eating?โ
โHuh? This? It’s an insect cookie! Realistic and cool, right?โ
He said this, holding the cookie close to his face.
But it was a confectionery insect, almost indistinguishable from the real thingโฆ
โEww!? Gross! What are you eating this for?โ
โHuhโฆโ
โForget that stuff. Want some of this instead? It’s totally delicious!โ
What I bought was a spicy snack. I’d eaten it since I was little, and I was sure he’d like it too.
Thinking that, I pushed it forward and handed it to him. But Akitoshi just stared at me, not making a move to eat it.
โAren’t you going to eat it?โ
โโฆI don’t want to eat anything someone gave me until they eat it themselvesโฆ I don’t trust them yetโฆโ
โHuh? Did you say something?โ
โNope, nothing.โ
This is weird. I thought he’d fall for it instantly, but his face just keeps getting darker.
Yeah, I hate kids. You never know what they’re thinking.
โUmโฆ anything fun happen lately?โ
โHuh?! Actually, yesterday I caught something amazing with a nice onii chan! Look!!โ
He pulled his phone from his pocket and shoved a photo in my face.
It was a stag beetle.
โAhโฆ yeah, yeah, a stag beetle. But you know~, pet shops have way cooler stuff!โ
โEh, well, that’s trueโฆ but this guy’s pretty awesome tooโฆโ
โPlus, you know, everyone ends up hating bugs when they grow up. So why don’t we start something new together now? Like baseball or soccer!โ
โโฆโฆโฆโฆโ
I figured finding a new hobby would be a way to get closer to her.
Plus, China definitely seems like the type who hates bugs, so if I could get him to quit this hobby, she’d be grateful for sure!
That’s what I was thinking, but that plan crumbled instantly with her next words.
โI’m gonna keep catching bugs forever and ever! I’m gonna be an insect expert! I still love yesterday’s onii chan the most! I hate youโ!!โ
โWhaโ!?โ
โEveryone, let’s hurry to my house!โ
he shouted that, and I froze, my thoughts unable to keep up.
He walked off with what seemed to be classmates who had finished shopping.
โWh-what the hell!? I don’t get it at all! Kids are impossible! Ugh, what a waste of time!!โ
What a cheeky brat. Kids really aren’t my thing.
Well, even if I’d taken in a kid like that, they probably wouldn’t have been much help anyway.
โTch! This is infuriatingโฆ!โ
Next! Next! No matter the adversity, I’ll stage a comeback. That’s my life, plain and simple.
Someone of the same gender who isn’t a kidโฆ Hmm, maybe a โfatherโ would be a good target.
Still fuming, I shoved the remaining snacks into my mouth.
ใใ๏ผใใ๏ผใใ๏ผ
โUm, these snacks and these. Oh, would everyone like this one too?โ
At the snack section of a certain supermarket, I, Amagiri China, was browsing.
My younger brother suddenly said, โCome over now so I can show off my stag beetle!โ That’s why I’m here buying snacks.
โStill, yesterday was roughโฆโ
The person who helped my brother the other day. According to Akitoshi, they had an average-looking face.
They left before we could thank them properly. When I told my brother, he just insisted, โI’m going to find him!โ
Even today, he went out saying he’d look for him while picking up a friend from their house.
โHaaโฆ I wonder where they areโฆโ
Muttering to myself, I reached for the insect cookies my brother likes.
I’m not particularly fond of bugs myself, but my brother’s enthusiasm rubbed off on me.
โโAh, please go aheadโฆ Wait, Amagiri-san!?โ
Lost in thought, a voice reached my left ear.
A black-haired boy who knew my name. I was sureโฆ
โUm, Watarai Nozomu-kun?โ
โOh, you remembered me.โ
โWe are classmates, after all. You shopping too, Watarai-kun?โ
“Ah, yeah. Manuscripts and cover roughsโฆ Hehehe, gotta have some sugar to get through this stuff.
โStill, you buy insect cookies too, Amagiri-san? They’re pretty niche cookies.โ
Watarai-kun pointed at the insect cookies I’d reached for.
“Yeah, my little brother loves them. I buy them for him often. You like them too, Watarai-kun?”
โYeah, kinda. I gave some to a kid I met in the mountains yesterday, so I’m outโฆโ
โOh, really! โฆHuh? Met in the mountainsโฆ?โ
โGotta get back soon or I’ll be seriously lateโฆ See ya at school!โ
โWait! โฆHe’s gone.โ
He hurried off, leaving me alone.
He said he met someone in the mountains. Could that be the person who helped my brother?
My brother might seem like that, but he’s shy around strangers. Maybe they became friends through the insect cookies.
โโฆNah, I don’t think Watarai-kun has a face that’s just โnothing specialโโit’s not like he’s that unremarkable. Or maybe I’m wrongโฆ?โ
In the end, I never got to confirm my thoughts. I bought some snacks and headed home.
