I Kept Silently Supporting the Lowest-Ranked Idol in the Popularity Rankings, Before I Knew It, I Was in a Shuraba


This is actually not the first time I have been to the rooftop. I first came to this rooftop shortly after I entered the school.

I don’t remember why I went there, but my guess is that it was just curiosity. In junior high school, it was forbidden to enter the rooftop.

I was banned from entering the rooftop in junior high school, and I was banned from entering the rooftop in high school as well, but since I was a high school student, I thought it would be okay to play a little prank on it.

At the time, I must have been disappointed to find out that it was just like this. Because there was nothing special about it. There was really nothing on the rooftop.

I had imagined that there would be benches and mats on the roof, and that people would be making out, but there really was nothing. There was nothing but a high fence.

“Nothing has changed…”

“What is it? Akito, have you ever been to the rooftop?”

“Well, only once.”

I haven’t been here once since then. The scenery hasn’t changed at all, and ever since I met Hamada in my first year, we’d been living together in the classroom.

After I became a second-year, I met Nagisa and forgot all about the rooftop even more.

“That’s unexpectedly frivolous, even though it’s prohibited by school rules.”

“No, no, I came here once just out of curiosity. …Rather than that, let’s talk about your original purpose.”

“Yeah. That’s why I invited you here, Akito kun.”

“First of all, thank you again for yesterday. And I’m sorry I left without saying anything. Did you read my letter?”

“Yes, I was sad to see that Akito-kun was gone when I got out of the bath, but I think it was fate that we met again today. Will we be good friends from now on?”

“I think it’s only natural. I think it would be a lot of fun for me to spend my school life with Tsuyuri san and I look forward to it”

“Yes, then as a sign of our friendship, will you call me by my name?”

Calling Tsuyuri by name? It’s a miracle that I’m friends with the most talented girl in school, but to call her by her first name? Is such a thing allowed?

Am I going to die tomorrow? Will I be all right?

But Tsuyuri is telling me this out of the goodness of her heart. I’d be a fool if I didn’t respond.

“Mashiro?”

“…”

Maybe I shouldn’t have called her that. It was too impolite.

“I’m sorry. I’ll call you Mashiro-san.”

“N-No, no. Please call me Mashiro. I just got a little exci……I “mean, surprised.

Did you just say “excited”? I’m sure that the innocent and pure Tsuyuri would never say such a thing. What am I thinking?

“I understand. So Mashiro, do you know why that incident just now happened?”

“Let’s stop using honorifics. I’ll stop too.”

“Oh, yes. I understand.”

“So, what happened earlier. That was probably a girl’s day for them. Boys don’t know this, but girls, on a girl’s day, they get upset over the smallest things around them. I’d probably be like that if I were in the same situation.”

“I see.”

I have heard about the girls several times. I’ve heard about them from school and from Nagisa as well. Me, why am I hearing that from Nagisa? Is that normal for guys and girls who are close to each other?

“You seem to be caught up in something, but think about it. Do you remember doing anything unusual today, Akito?”

“No. I don’t think so. I think it’s just the way it usually is.”

“Right? So that’s what I’m saying.”

“I see. This is my fault for being so insensitive.”

I have never made friends with this many girls before, so I don’t know what to do in this situation. What should I do?

“At times like this. Girls don’t like to be provoked. So ignore her for the rest of the day.”

“Ignore her? Won’t that create misunderstandings?”

“Don’t worry. It is easier to be ignored. Everyone will understand.”

“I understand.”

If that’s what Mashiro said, then that must be what it is. Well, I’m feeling a little lonely today, but I’ll just ignore it. If that’s what’s good for them.

Wow that’s an asshole move. Smart sure, but still not very moral. Also the guy’s stupid as hell, but, I guess that’s just a given with these type of stories.
