“I heard Kenji got dumped too.”
“Well, it’s Marukome-kun.”
“Kenji may have been dumped, but it’s rumored that Sawai in the next class was also dumped.”
“That’s a lie! Sawai is rumored to have slayed 100 girls in junior high school.”
……Amamiya-san dumped another guy. This is the fifth guy, including Takahashi, but isn’t it amazing how often she gets confessions? She’s totally a woman of high reputation.
Even if you reject a guy, don’t you think about it a little bit? Sawai-kun is, even to me as a guy, a good-looking guy. Kenji, on the other hand, is a …… kind of guy.
“Listen, Hatoyama kun. The other day, a boy lied to me again.”
What are you talking about, you high-minded girl? You’re too paranoid. I don’t like it. I don’t want to go to a school where I’ve been falsely accused five times in such a short period of time.
“Really? I think he’s serious.”
“Hahaha, there aren’t many people like you, Hatoyama kun.”
Not many people would lie to someone they’ve never spoken to before. People are too bad in a school like that.
“You say that, but Amamiya-san is really hot right now, isn’t she?”
I wonder if it was a good thing that she increased her mesh to three strands based on my random advice, and her popularity with the boys has exploded in the past few days. Is it patronizing to say that?
According to what I hear, there are quite a few boys who fell for Amamiya’s smile when she was talking to me. Is this patronizing? But so far, no one but me has been able to bring out the best smile, so I can be forgiven for saying that about 10 percent of the credit goes to me.
“Eh? Well, I’m sure I’ve come close to your taste, though ……
Aside from the significance of getting close to my tastes, it’s just a bit random, you know? I don’t know anything about mesh or anything difficult about it, so I just suggested that you grow three of them in a balanced way. The skirt length is shorter, but that’s also due to my cheap advice.
“I’ve said it many times before, but you are attractive from anyone’s point of view, okay? I just don’t understand why you are so unaware of it.”
Even if it’s impossible to make an accurate assessment, don’t you know to some extent?
“I said, it’s not like that. Only you, Hatoyama kun. You’re the only one who’s happy that my skirt got shorter.”
I’m sure other boys are happy too. Maybe, but I think they are looking at her legs when she goes up the stairs or something, you know?
“It’s embarrassing just to put my knees out, but to have them this length where you never know when they’ll be visible. ……”
Oh, that’s the level of shyness you’re talking about? I thought it was awfully lengthy, but with that tolerance, how did you manage to make it that short?
“Haha, they can’t see it because of your classy behavior, Amamiya-san.”
I mean, she’s wearing something underneath, right? Something like tights.
No, she wasn’t wearing any. I saw her underpants when she was showing me her foot manicure, if I recall correctly.
“….I’m sorry.”
“Eh? What?”
“You want to see, don’t you? Because you’re an anomaly, Hatoyama kun.”
I don’t think the desire to see underpants and being an anomaly are connected. I think it’s more like, “You don’t want to see them because you’re an anomaly, right?” I mean, I never said I wanted to see them, but you’re saying I want to see them. It’s a good answer, so there’s nothing to argue about it.
“Don’t apologize. I’m the one who suggested shortening it.”
I suggested it in the sense that there are a lot of girls who wear short dresses. If she knew it was just a random advice, she would get angry with me.
“No, don’t apologize. For Hatoyama-kun’s sake, I can reduce the length of the skirt as much as you want, and if you want, I don’t even have to wear a skirt.”
I don’t think short is good enough, but what does it mean that you don’t have to wear a skirt? Does it mean tights only?
“Well, haven’t I told you before? You don’t have to conform to my tastes.”
I pride myself on my sensibilities being universal, but there’s no guarantee. There is a possibility that you might float away because of my tastes, and I hope you’ll stick to your own style. If it’s my own way, I’ll be satisfied even if it’s a little bit bad, won’t I?
“You said earlier? You said you weren’t lying.”
“Uh, yeah.”
“That means that if I go along with …… Hatoyama kun’s tastes, I’ll be more attractive as a girl, right?”
Do you think so ……? Maybe so. …… No, no. I was almost convinced for a moment, but that’s a common trap.
“Amamiya san, that’s the same as an apple diet.”
“An apple diet? What’s that?”
Oh, how can the apple diet not get through to girls? Don’t they know a hundred times more about diets than men? I thought I was the next most knowledgeable creature after a boxer, but then I thought about it, and I realized that Amamiya-san is a girl who has never really worked on herself. So it’s no wonder she doesn’t know much about it. Or perhaps Amamiya is smart from the start, so the idea of dieting never occurred to her.
“This diet is to lose weight by eating apples, but there’s a simple trick to it.”
“A trick? Isn’t it because of the apple?”
No, it may help you lose some weight, but not a lot. No, there may be a slight slimming effect, but if you could lose weight just by eating apples, you wouldn’t have any trouble.
“Eat an apple for breakfast, exercise moderately, eat a proper diet, and get your lifestyle in order. That’s how you lose weight…”
“I see what you mean. If you live a healthy life, you will lose weight with or without apples, right?”
That’s what Amamiya is all about. Yes, it’s just a matter of incorporating apples into your natural slimming habits. This can be done with pears or bananas. If you want, it can be done with chocolate, too, you know? If you live a healthy life, you can afford to eat a piece of chocolate.
“You’re smart. You have a good face and a good head.”
To be honest, even an elementary school student could figure this out, but there’s no need to go to the trouble of saying it. No one would feel bad about being praised for their brains.
“I- it’s not about the face, is it? We’re not talking about that now, are we?”
“Is that so? I think there is a link between intelligence and face.”
It’s hard to tell who is intelligent, but it’s easy to tell who is not. I don’t want to go into too much detail because it might be taken as discrimination.
“Mouu, I know what you’re talking about! What is this apple diet?
Is it, ‘Get skinny, fatty’?”
What kind of upbringing makes you that negative? Amamiya is already skinny, for better or worse.
“No, I’d rather have a little more meat on the body for my taste ……. Oh, no, that’s just my taste, so don’t worry about it.”
“Meat ……? How many kilos? How much weight should I put on? Do you prefer a pudgy belly and legs? Or should I concentrate my fat on my chest? In the meantime, can you take a look at my current body? I might be a surprisingly skinny type, don’t you think?”
She’s starting to get excited about something unrelated to the main point of the conversation. It was a grave, I guess. As for me, I would love to have her show me her body, but I feel like I’d be stuffed if I exposed that desire. It’s obvious that Amamiya is not aiming at me and is just teasing me, but I still feel like I should hold back.
“Well, let’s leave that aside for now. Anyway, adjusting to my tastes and you becoming popular are two different issues.”
I can’t believe I stepped on a landmine for one short sentence like that. Maybe I shouldn’t use bad analogies with this person.
“Why is it a separate issue? It’s inherently impossible for me, such a plain, simple, poor girl, to be popular, isn’t it? It would be a different story if I were all object lovers like you, Hatoyama-kun.”
Amamiya, you only become talkative when you demean yourself or when you’re trying to drive me away. I’m glad you’ve started to talk more, but you need to think about how you’re going to distribute it.
“Umm, Do you think you’ll be popular just because you have mesh? Do you think a manicure will make you popular?”
“But actually, ……”
“I’m telling you, it’s your physicality.”
When she stopped wearing her dark hair, I knew she was going to be popular. She had the potential to be popular. It’s just that the obstacles that were blocking out that quality were gone, so it’s not my achievement.
“Whether it was a ponytail or a wolf cut, she was popular no matter what. Though maybe a shaved head is a bit off.”
“……”
Why are you ignoring me? Did I say something funny?
“…You know? I’m happy that you praise me, but I get the feeling that I might be abandoned, so I’m scared.”
…What do you mean? I don’t think I give off even the slightest bit of that vibe.
“I want to be the kind of girl you like, Hatoyama kun. So why are you trying to make me do what I like?”
Ah, I see what you mean. Huh……? Is this the beginning of dependence? Are you starting to become dependent on me, but only slightly?
“Oh, I heard the chime. ……. So, let’s talk again after school, shall we?”
……Well, by any chance, are you sure you’re not headed in the wrong direction little by little? I just wanted Amamiya-san to gain confidence. I don’t want her to be dependent on me, in fact, the opposite is true. I was giving you a lot of advice with that in mind so that you could live robustly without me,…….
