“Well, next week you first-year students will have a two-day and one-night camp. Well, it’s just a little freshman socializing thing.”
The last class of the day was a long homeroom.
Kosuke and his classmates’ homeroom teacher, Ajima Yoshio, spoke about the two-day and one-night camping event that would take place next week.
“So……campers are supposed to work in groups, so I’m going to ask you all to form your groups in the next hour.”
The sudden decision to form groups caused a commotion in the classroom. The group will be made up of six students, three boys and three girls. Since there are 30 students in this class (15 boys and 15 girls), the number of students in the class can be divided into groups of six.
However, the feelings of boys and girls at their age are not as easily divisible as the number of students.
Some of them do not want to be left out of the group with which they are close. They want to be in the same group with the opposite sex they’re interested in. There is no group to join in the first place…….whatever the case may be, the group decision is always a whirlwind of individual speculation.
“Then I have my own duties to do, so the two class reps, please take care of the rest.”
The homeroom teacher then walked out of the classroom.
“Then I would like to take over from Ajiima sensei and decide on a group !”
Saying that, it was Akane who went up on the stage. The class rep of this class is another male student named Ikei Keito, who is from the same junior high school as Kosuke.
Needless to say, Akane and Keito are popular people who are supported by many students in the class.
After a class discussion, the final group assignment method was to form groups with anyone who wanted to join.
This was a pain for those who had no one to form a group with in class, but for the rest of them, it was decided that they all wanted to form groups with students they got along with.
Kumada Goya was the first to make a move. Of course, he solidifies the group with the three people he always hangs out with. And the most important thing for them is the presence of girls.
They want cute girls in their group. That is all they think about.
However, the two most beautiful girls in the class, Mikagami Akane and Ogasawara Rena, already hate him. So they turned their attention to Konatsu Mio, who started coming to school a little while ago.
Mio is as beautiful as Akane and Rena. And yet, they seem to think that since she just transferred to the school and hasn’t quite fit in with the class, she’s bound to fall in love with them right away…
“Yo Mio, we’ll put you in our group.”
And as usual, Goya calls out a painful line.
“Eh…..I’m fine.”
And then, despite being clearly taken back, his friends also get carried away and start calling out to her.
“You don’t have to be shy.”
“Yeah, yeah, we’re nice to you, you know. Mio- han just came to school and doesn’t have any friends yet, right? So—“
“No, I’m not being shy…..why are you being so bossy about letting me in? I have no intention of forming a group with you guys, and this is the first time I’ve ever talked to you, right? I just have people I’d like to form a group with.”
Naturally, they were instantly taken aback, and Mio went to Kosuke.
“Damn it ! Why is that shady guy again……”
Even though they are in a classroom, Goya and his friends do not try to hide their ulterior motives at all. Their classmates’ evaluation of them would have completely hit rock bottom.
(Huh, Kumada is really a stupid guy. There’s no way it’s going to work out that way.)
Meanwhile, there was a man who looked at Goya and his friends and smiled wryly. It was the class president, Ikei Keito.
“Hey, Keito.”
Keito is approached by a group of boys from the cheerful group with whom he is friendly.
“Yeah? What’s wrong?
At that moment, he instantly hid the evil smile that had just appeared on his face.
“What about the group? There should be three men and three women, right? If that’s the case, then we…”
The boy who called Keito looks troubled. Keito and the other boys always hang out with four other boys. So, only one of them is left out of the group.
It seems that the three girls in this group are already confirmed. They are all the so-called “elite girls” who stand out in the class.
(Well, they are not bad guys,…..but they are not suitable for me to form a group. I’m determined to drop the three most beautiful girls in this class at this camp. Kuku, I’m starting to laugh just thinking about it.)
Without showing any concern for their feelings, Keito turns to them and says.
“The three of you should form a team for the boys. I’m the class president, so I’ll even fill in for the undermanned group.”
“Keito……you’re a real nice guy.”
The friend of Keito, who had no idea of his true character, patted him on the shoulder as if moved.
“You’re really kind, Keito kun.”
“It’s a shame that I can’t team up with Keito kun, but I understand.”
The girls in the group also praised him one after another. When he felt somewhat comfortable with these comments, Keito went to the three girls who were his true targets.
As expected, the girls had gathered around Kosuke.
(Really, it’s a mystery why this Arazaki guy, who was a loner until middle school, is suddenly so popular. But it doesn’t matter why. They are all going to be mine at this event !)
“Have you decided on a group, Arazaki? If you’d like, would you like to team up with me? We’ve known each other since junior high.”
He asked Kosuke naturally and without revealing his true feelings. This is a strategy to increase the likability of the women and then be in the same group with the three girls.
(Huh, it seems that the girls certainly like him, bu….he still doesn’t seem to have any male friends even in high school. He, a loner, is never going to turn down my invitation.)
Indeed, to form a group, Kosuke would have to gather two more boys. That is why Keito took advantage of his weakness.
“No, thank you.”
“Huh…..?”
However, he was turned down in an instant and Keito raised a stupid voice.
“If it’s a group, I’ve already decided.”
Hearing Kosuke’s words, he took a closer look around and sure enough, two more boys were nearby.
Wada Takumi, a loner who is always alone, and Kamijo Kiyotaka, a chuunibyou who often makes strange noises in the hallways.
Kosuke had already gathered the two boys prior to this class, since he had figured out that the camp was going to be held sooner or later and that they would be assigned to a group.
(When I was a loner in junior high school, I had a lot of bad experiences with group assignments……and this Ikei guy, he says he’s a friend of mine, but he’s definitely after the ladies, right?)
Kosuke thinks about that.
Seeing this, Keito realizes he is completely defeated and goes to talk to his friendly group again.
“Hey, it doesn’t seem like there’s anyone in the group who’s having trouble, so even in a group of four boys…”
Then he loses his cool and decides to at least be in the same group with the better-off girls.
“No, but there are 30 of us in this class, so we should fit right in, right?”
“Oh, by the way, it looks like that group is missing one boy.”
So Keito ends up being placed in the most inconspicuous group in the class…..a group of girls who, in his opinion, are only interested in the shady side of things.
(Oh no, there’s no way I’m in such a low profile group.)
He muttered this endlessly in his mind, but it was too late.
