I Kept Silently Supporting the Lowest-Ranked Idol in the Popularity Rankings, Before I Knew It, I Was in a Shuraba
School life is noisy today. Hamada has been annoying me since this morning, Nagisa-san has been giving me some kind of questioning glances, and most of all, the cheerful people in class have been making a lot of noise.
I don’t understand how they can be so noisy in the morning. I can understand why they make so much noise during lunch break, but it must be a gift, since they have probably only been awake for an hour or two.
If it were a gift, the word โgiftโ itself would lose its value.
But at least I don’t know anyone around me who can do such a thingโฆ
I just remembered that Hamada had just given me a slack-jawed tangle just a few minutes ago. Why is he on that side?
He’s supposed to be on our side, too. Did a space-time distortion occur? What am I talking about from a fantasy worldview?
โฆ I mean, what are these cheerful people making so much noise about? Normally, I’d say they’re a little bit noisy, but today they’re being ridiculously loud.
I wonder what they are talking about.
โHey, why is that person here?โ
“Who does he want?โ
“So cute. Let’s confessโ
โNot you”
It seemed like someone was visiting our class, and it was a girl who was cute enough for all those bubbly, handsome guys to admit it.
ใ
I feel sorry for the guy who was being poked at so eagerly.
Well, it’s none of my business. I guess Hamada is a sucker for a good look, so I guess he’s curious, but the girls in class are giving a the cold shoulder. Of course, I’m one of them.
“Hey, Akito. Let’s ignore these guys and just talk to me.โ
It seems that Nagisa-san is not interested either. It would be helpful if I had someone to talk to so I don’t get bored.
“I’m sure you’re right.”
“Hey, don’t take the initiative, Nagisa!โ
“Shimizu-san isn’t interested either?”
โฆBefore I knew it, they were calling each other by first names. The two of them were getting closer without me knowing. I guess my worries were unfounded after all.
I’m really glad that friends get along with each other.
“There is no way that’s true. And not that, Sakurai kun! Oh, can I call you Akito-kun too?โ
“Haa, of course not!
Only I can call Akito that!โ
Why are you the one to answer? I’m the one who answers. And I think there are more people who call me by my first name than you know, Nagisa.
I have a hunch, but I don’t want to explain that to Natsumi, because I have a feeling it would be awkward.
โHow is it, Sakurai-san?โ
Why am I the one who’s caught in the middle of this shura situation? This group is supposed to lead a peaceful life. Why is this group getting as noisy as the handsome guys?
“I’m fine with it. Akito”
โHey, Akito. What are you agreeing to?โ
“It’s up to me.โ
โMuu.
I don’t know anymore!”
Since when did you become a tsundere? Too many attributes?
“Hey, Tsuyuri san. She with Sakurai?”
โYeah, it’s like I can see a bad aura about that too. Is it my imagination?โ
“She’s smiling, but her eyes aren’t. She’s definitely angry. What did you do, Sakurai?”
ใ
As I was quieting down the argument between Nagisa-san and Shimizu-san, I felt someone approaching me.
In the midst of all this commotion, the one approaching me wasโฆ
“Akito-san. What are you doing?โ
