He went for an early morning run and ate breakfast prepared by his sister.
Amamiya goes to school feeling light and radiant from a healthy day spent in the gym.
In the classroom, a good friend, a girl he has a crush on, is waiting for him, and after school, he can play fun games with kind seniors.
Amemiya has not had such a fulfilling school life since elementary school.
Perhaps he is already a cheerful person? Even if this thought crosses his mind, he does not act as if it were true, because he does not want to dig his own grave.
Having only completed lesson one of “Kumatani’s training” there is still a mountain of work to be done.
Kumatani had warned him not to get carried away, so Amamiya spent his days as usual completing the assignments he had been given by Kumatani.
Don’t get carried away just because the environment has changed a little, don’t be overconfident in yourself, and do as you always do.
If you do that, one day you will have 100 friends and be a popular guy with all the girls—
“Amamiya-senpai! I like you! Please go out with me!”
— a junior confessed
(Kumatani-kun, I didn’t just jump to the first lesson, I even made it to the last stage…!?)
A situation that would have been absolutely impossible for Amamiya until a few months ago put an end to the peaceful daily life.
The junior girl’s name is Asumi Kaede.
She has blonde hair and blue eyes that are uniquely Japanese, and a ponytail that sways with every movement.
Her face is as two-dimensional as if she came out of an anime.
This is not an exaggeration; in fact, anyone who sees Asumi in person would make the same comment about her appearance.
When Amamiya was suddenly stopped by such a girl and received an unexpected confession, the word “penalty game” was the first thing that crossed her mind.
(First of all, did I have any contact with this girl? If I had, there was no way I would have forgotten such a cute girl. If it was our first meeting, it would be strange to confess …… if it was a trendy game of punishment?)
The girls play a game with each other and the loser confesses to a dull boy as punishment.
There is probably no game more cruel to trample on people’s feelings than the “punishment game.”
“……Eh. You’re a first-year student, aren’t you? Why are you …… on me?”
Amamiya’s voice trembles as a mixture of nervousness and confusion turns on the shady switch.
Kumatani has given him advice on how to improve himself so that he can one day be confessed to by a girl, but he hasn’t received any advice on what to do if he really is confessed to.
Whether his current reply is correct or not, he does not know.
“I don’t want if it isn’t Amamiya-senpai. Please make me your girlfriend!”
Asumi’s expression seemed to have a “?” on her head, and said clearly.
It was so straightforward a response that Amamiya blushed and became embarrassed.
Cute, too cute.
The possibility of it being a punishment cannot be ruled out, but no boy would not be happy to receive a confession from a girl like this.
However, Amamiya shakes his head and thinks of Karina, whom he has a crush on.
(Yes, I like …… Karina, and I’ve decided that if I become a man worthy of her, I’ll tell her how I feel about her.)
Don’t lose sight of goal.
He is no longer the misbehaving, indecisive, shady guy he used to be.
“Um, …… sorry, but I already have someone I like ……”
“Oh, is it that late already? I have to go to class soon because I’m on day duty.
I’m sorry, Amamiya-senpai, please let me hear your reply after school. Bye then.”
“Eh? No, no reply or anything. ……”
Asumi said that to interrupt Amamiya who was about to refuse and bowed his head apologetically.
There was no response, and Amamiya, who had no intention of going out with her, hurriedly tried to call out to her, but she ran off like the wind.
Judging from the way she runs and the speed she runs, she must be part of the athletic club, he can’t catch up with her
Amamiya, left behind, was left scratching his head.
He wanted to slam his head against the shoe box right next to him, but decided against it because it would hurt too much.
It was a straight confession that didn’t seem like a punishment, he was blushing and even seemed nervous.
It’s nice for a boy to get a favor from such a cute girl.
(There’s a girl I like. ……)
It is inevitable that his heart would be more inclined toward his partner Karina, whom he has interacted with in the game since junior high school, than toward a younger student whom he may have met for the first time.
After school, I would firmly refuse to go out with her, saying that I can’t go out with her because I have someone I like.
However, Amamiya did not know.
That this confession had become a bit of an incident in the whole school. —-
“Takaaki? Are you kidding me? you said it, didn’t you? You were trying to be cool? That you like Nagase-san, so you won’t run away anymore’?”
Amamiya was taken out of the classroom by her childhood friend Tojo right after first period class, and was wallbang by her in the men’s restroom.
It might have been a heart-throbbing scene, but Tojo’s terrifying swordplay, which came right up to his nose, caused Amamiya to shrink back a little.
“No, Chika. It’s different, she confessed to me. ……”
“What’s different? The whole school was talking about it, it was on the bulletin board, it was a big scoop.
Amamiya Takaaki receives a love confession from a first-year idol! The birth of an unexpected couple!
Could it be that you’ve just given the ok?”
Tojo’s face becomes even more terrifying.
“I didn’t. I didn’t! Who wrote that article? That’s too fast!”
“I don’t care about that. So, what’s the result? Are you going out with her? or not? …Which is it?”
From her perspective, I’m sure that’s how she sees it, even though it’s not true.
“Um, this is the men’s restroom. ……”
“Guururu!”
“Hii, Excuse me!”
Tojo was menacingly driven away a man who came into the restroom to do his business.
She seemed to be quite annoyed, so I had to clear up the misunderstanding as soon as possible.
“No, that’s why. I never said anything about going out with her! I like Karina!”
“……”
When he tells her to declare, he receives silent pressure from Tojo.
Is she going to hit me? Amamiya prepared to take a passive stance at any moment, and Tojo moved away from Amamiya without doing anything in particular.
“I see there’s no lie in your eyes. You’re a real troublemaker, you know. ……”
“No, you’re the one who misunderstood, aren’t you? (Maybe it’s the article and the rumors.)”
“As a childhood friend, I advise you not to go out with a girl you don’t know well. You might regret it later. ……”
Amamiya was surprised to receive such unusual advice from Tojo, who does not think highly of his relationship with Karina.
No, we’ve been childhood friends with her for several years.
Just because we’ve had a fight doesn’t mean we’re completely cut off from each other.
“Yes, maybe. Thank you, Chika. I’ll keep that in mind.”
“Hmph.”
Tojo returned to her usual stinging demeanor as she honestly expressed her gratitude.
No, which is it?
Amamiya and Tojo hurry back to the classroom as second period is about to start.
The rumor that Amamiya has been confessed to by a first-year idol is sure to be heard by all of classmates.
Amamiya nervously put his hand on the classroom door and slowly opened it.
Then, a disturbing atmosphere from inside the classroom flows out into the hallway all at once, and he realizes that the source of the negativity is emanating from right next to his seat.
Fearfully, he turns his gaze
Not once has he seen it since they became friends.
Absolute zero, the extreme of saltiness.
With an expression so clouded over that he can’t discern whether it is anger or sadness, she— Nagase Karina asked in an inorganic voice
“Even though you’re my partner, you cheated on me ……?”
