While I was puzzled over Shirakawa san’s odd (?) behavior, my gaze naturally went to the front of the classroom..
Target #3, Hina Megumi chan.
She is full of energy today. She is laughing while looking at her phone with her friends.
The display above her head reads [Hina Megumi: 130/100 (overflow)]
She is still pushing the limits.
In her case, rather than a clear past event like Takamine san’s, is it due to a more everyday, unacknowledged accumulation of my actions?
Or is there some definitive event……?
Recess.
As I was getting ready for my next class, Hina chan came running up to me with a flutter.
So close ! Her sense of distance is still messed up as usual !
“Hey, hey, Kagenon !”
“H-hyah !? W-what is it, Hina chan !?”
I was too flustered and bit my tongue. I’m embarrassed…….
“Fufu, Kagenon you’re so funny ! You know, look at this !”
Hina chan said and showed me the screen of her phone.
There, the screen of the class group social media is displayed.
“Yesterday, I wrote a little something about Kagenon during P.E., and it got a lot of likes !”
“Eh? About me?”
Let’s take a look…….
I looked at Hina chan’s post,
[Today’s dodgeball game was really dangerous when Kagenon almost got hit by the ball ! But he was safe just in the nick of time ! I kind of want to protect him～! :>) #Kagenon Observation Diary]
……Huh?
Kagenon observation diary !?
What the heck is even that !? When did such a tag appear !?
And it’s even accompanied by a photo of my pathetic face at the moment I almost got hit by a ball ! When did you take that picture !
And the post received tons of likes and comments from the girls in my class…….
[I get it ! Kageno kun is kind of hard to leave alone, isn’t he lol]
[Hina chan who protected him is a real goddess.]
[I want more #Kagenon Observation Diary !]
……What is this……?
Without me realizing it, I’ve become something of a joke character and mascot among the girls in my class…?
No, should I be happy…..? Or not…….
“How is it? Isn’t it amazing !”
Hina chan puffed out her chest proudly.
The numbers above her head shifted.
[Megumi Hina: 131/100 (overflow)]
It went up again !
You mean you’re happy that I became the gossip in social media !?
Why !?
“No, it’s great, but…..why did you take my picture without permission…”
“Eh? Because you have such a funny reaction, Kagenon ! I just had to take it !”
Hina chan makes a ‘teehee’ face without any sign of apology.
The free-spiritedness of gal, so frightening……
“And you know, Kagenon is usually inconspicuous, but actually has a kind heart.”
“Eh? I’m kind?”
I’ve never heard of that before.
I’m just a socially awkward introvert.
“Totes ! The other day, you were casually supporting Granny sensei when she almost fell down in the hallway on a rainy day, weren’t you? Megu was watching you !”
“Eh? Oh……I don’t remember that happening……”
Now that you mention it, it seems like that did happen.
But it was really unconscious or just a spur-of-the-moment action…….
“Like that ! Being kind in those situations when no one is looking is what makes Kagenon so great !”
Hina chan gazes at me with sparkling eyes.
S-so shiny….!
I’ve never had anyone compliment me like that before.
[Megumi HIna : 133/100 (overflow)]
It’s moving up again !
My unknowing good deed(?) is pushing up her likeability ….?
It’s a little different from Takamine san’s pattern, but this is also due to my actions in the past.
Hina chan’s likeability [overflow] is a manifestation of her appreciation of my “hidden kindness”…..?
If so, she may be looking at me more closely than I think.
“So, Megu wants everyone to know more about Kagenon !”
“No, that’s a bit…please give me a break…”
To be honest, it’s heartbreaking to see any more “Kagenon Observation Diary” going around on social media.
“Eh, why not? Kagenon, you should be more confident !”
Mm, I can’t…….
It’s too hard for me, with my low self-esteem.
I’m glad Hina chan likes me, but I still couldn’t keep up with her straightforwardness and vigor.
Maybe her [Overflow] is a manifestation of her bottomless cheerfulness and kindness.
