I’m Incompetent and a Failure, and My Childhood Friend, Who Is a Beautiful Kyoto Dialect Vice President Idol on the Outside but in Reality Is a Menhera Yandere, Is Dependent on Me, but Please, Leave Me Alone!
My name is Tadano Akiru.
I am an ordinary high school student.
I’m not very smart, I’m not very good at my work, and I have a poor memory of things.
People around me once called me “Tadano (Just) Akiru (Boring),” a nickname that I have never been able to live up to.
I think the reason I was given such an unflattering nickname is because I always fail at everything I do, my test scores are poor, and I’m not good at sports, so from the outside looking in, I’m pretty clumsy.
For this reason, I have been labeled as lazy and negligent, but personally, I have been trying my best.
However, despite my efforts, my basic abilities are far below average.
Inevitably, I lost confidence in myself and my communication skills, and it became the norm for me to always look down.
That’s why I don’t have many friends, and I’m aware that I’m basically a gloomy guy with a negative personality.
Well…I think there are people like me everywhere…or so I would like to think. ……
I have a friend who I can regrettably say is my childhood friend.
Of course, it’s not just a childhood friend, it’s a beautiful girl that everyone will look back on.
A beautiful girl with the capacity to be a heroine if this world were a story of some kind, without a doubt.
Her name is Kosaka Akemi.
I have known Kosaka Akemi since kindergarten, and unlike me, she is extremely talented.
She is so talented that she was scouted for vice president by the charismatic student council president at this school, and she is a beautiful girl with her outstanding appearance, academic ability and leadership skills that enable her to join the student council already in her first year.
She is so well styled that she could be mistaken for a model.
She has a slender and supple waist, moderately toned legs, a doll-like face that attracts people more than anything else, and a long, beautiful black hair style that makes her neatness stand out even more.
She is a beautiful girl whom everyone recognizes.
To be honest, I don’t like her… Kosaka Akemi.
She is the complete opposite of me.
Since she was a little girl, she has always had a knack for getting things done, and since she is so smart, she always gets high scores on her tests, even if she doesn’t study very hard.
On top of that, she is also very athletic and her friends always surround her.
She has a high spec and looks mature, but her naturalness with a little bit of a loose end may be attractive to many boys, and I am often asked to be an intermediary for confessions, but I basically refuse.
I’ve been friends with her since childhood, but that was a long time ago, and now we hardly ever get involved.
Akemi won a prize in a competition.
Akemi won a championship in a competition.
Akemi got a perfect score on some mock exam.
She got high scores on all of her final exams.
You should do as well as Akemi.
I was displeased as if someone had implicitly told me so.
It was not that I neglected my efforts.
I worked harder than anyone else, and I did my best.
However, neither my grades nor my athletic ability improved, and in fact, all I could see was my own inadequacies, and I felt like I was going to be defeated.
My heart was filled with jealousy toward Akemi and a sense of inferiority toward myself, and without realizing it, I began to avoid Akemi.
Originally, they are a top-caste and a bottom-caste.
There is no way to compare a beautiful girl genius at the top of the caste with a plain guy at the bottom of the caste.
The filter of a childhood friend is only two dimensional.
In fiction, the typical childhood friend is a beautiful girl who is kind and attentive to a plain guy with similar characteristics to me, but in reality, we haven’t talked for years.
She lives in a glittering world where I am not even in her line of sight, and it is inevitable that I am not in the eyes of the cheerful boys who surround her.
In the stories about childhood friends, the main character who has a beautiful childhood friend tends to be the object of jealousy, but in reality, I am never the object of jealousy, I am just a convenient intermediary for confessions or the partner of a good-natured cheerful guy who gets involved with Akemi because he wants information about her. A man’s childhood friend…
Anyway, for me, Akemi is a distant and unapproachable person.
If I try to get close to her, I will be hung up by Akemi’s cronies and I will have a black history for the rest of my life.
I want to reassure myself.
I don’t want to get close to her either, so it’s basically impossible for me to get close to her.
From me……that is
I thought that as long as I didn’t approach her, there would be no problem.
That’s the way it should be. ……
I had no idea what she was really like.
I was going to realize that.
I had never even guessed…or fantasized, for that matter….
It was one day after school.
I was forced to take cleaning duty by a handsome young man who had an urgent matter to attend to, and I was unable to say anything back to him.
As a result, I was left to do the cleaning for him.
I’m not very good at it, so I end up spending too much time just cleaning… However, I make the excuse in my head that it’s unavoidable that it takes so long since I’m working alone on a task that should be shared by three people.
Then the door at the back of the room is opened.
The person who enters the classroom from the corridor is, unexpectedly, a childhood friend whom I had thought earlier that we had been estranged for a long time.
It was Kosaka Akemi.
“After all, you were asked to help clean up……. You have to refuse him, right? Aki kun.”
“Ah…? Akemi? …… ah……Kosaka san…”
“Fufufu… it’s okay, just Akemi… it’s so sad that you have to read my last name after all this time.”
“………W-why…Akemi…Kosaka-san?”
“Mouu…well…well…I have something to do for you, Aki-kun, but wouldn’t it be difficult to do it if you keep cleaning? I’ll help you out.”
“I-it’s okay..You don’t have to do that.”
“Just listen? Okay? It’ll go faster if we do it together.”
After saying that, Akemi took a broom out of her cleaning locker and began cleaning without permission.
I honestly want you to stop.
If someone saw her with a mobster like me, there would be a lot of rumors about her.
No matter how much I say it’s okay because I have only the presence of a mob, it’s because I’m a mob, and it is not because a mob is allowed to act more than that.
Even if it is passive.
It doesn’t matter if it is passive or not.
It is not acceptable for the mob to be cleaning with the school idol.
“Fufu, if you don’t want anyone to see us, we’d better finish cleaning up quickly, wouldn’t we? Aki-kun?”
“Y-You…”
This girl… she’s a convinced criminal…
It’s not my intention to go along with what she wants, but it’s true that I have no choice but to finish the cleaning as soon as possible if I consider the risk of someone seeing me, and I decided to go along with what she said even though it annoyed me.
Not only was she able to get the job done in such a short time, but she was able to clean every nook and cranny so well that it almost looked like a brand new classroom I had just entered today.
In manga and anime, you often see stars flying in the sky to show that the cleaning was done well, and that’s exactly what I’m seeing now.
It’s easy to imagine that if I had tried to go this far, it would have taken me until tomorrow, not just today, so I think you can understand how much nonsense I’m talking.
In fact, I’m so annoyed that I might have even interfered.
“Well! Now that the cleaning is done, let’s go home!”
“Eh? Where…?”
“Eh? Of course! To Aki-kun’s room?”
“Haa!? What… why?!”
“Why?……ahh! Maybe you haven’t heard anything?”
“W-What do you mean?…”
“I see~ Aki kun? You got a red mark on all your recent tests, didn’t you?”
“Wha! That’s none of your business!?”
“I know~! I’ve been asked by your mother to help you with your studies! So I’ll watch you study starting today, and I want you to open the door every day after school… well… you don’t have any friends, so you don’t have to worry about that, do you?”
“What!? friends at least…”
“Yeah? Do you have any?…”
“……”
“Fufu, well..! Let’s go!”
“………”
I have no reason to say anything back.
No one is close enough to be my friend, and I don’t trust others enough to open my heart to them.
People of low ability are looked down upon and ridiculed by others.
If someone comes up to you and says something generous, it’s a sign that something bad is going on.
Yes, just like my childhood friend is doing right now.
“Hmm~? What’s wrong? Aki kun?”
“Nothing.”
“Hmmm~”
Akemi narrowed her eyes and giggled happily.
It was probably a charming smile that would have captivated anyone at school, but it didn’t look that way to me.
It looked eerie to me.
