Episode 27

After the chaotic tour of the general store, I was walking home alone.

In the end, Takamine san seemed to have found a book cover she liked, Hina chan bought a cute key chain and seemed satisfied, and Shirakawa san…..for some reason impulsively bought a stuffed cat toy. It’s a mystery.

I was just tired from being pushed around by the three beautiful girls.

But strangely enough, I didn’t feel bad about it.

In fact, I think I might have enjoyed it a little bit more.

I helped Takamine san pick out a book cover (she ended up choosing the design that I said looked better on her, and my likeability rating went back to 100/100), laughed with Hina chan over silly jokes (each time, her likeability rating went up to like 142/100), and watched Shirakawa san pick out a stuffed cat (for some reason, she asked me which one I ike better and her likeability rating went up to like [Unmeasurable (request to choose?)])

A few months ago, this would have been unthinkable for me.

I would have never thought that I would be going to a general store after school with the most beautiful girls in my class, or even in the top class of my grade.

Moreover, these girls clearly have a special fondness for me.

The ability to see likeability.

At first, I thought it was a cursed ability that only made me reaffirm how low I was.

But now it’s a little different.

Indeed, I’m still depressed when I see the low likeability ratings of people on the street.

But Takamine san’s [100], Shirakawa san’s [Unmeasurable], and Hina chan’s [Overflow].

These abnormal numbers show that I’m by no means “someone who is not needed by anyone.”

A past behavior I had forgotten about.

The good parts of myself that I haven’t noticed (?).

If that’s what moved them…

Maybe I’m not as bad as I think I am.

…But maybe I’m getting a little too cocky?

No, but I’m starting to think so, just a little bit.

I used to have a hard time making eye contact with other people.

Expressing my own opinions was out of the question.

But recently, I’ve been able to have normal (?) conversations with Takamine san, Hina chan, and Shirakawa san.

I am now able to confide my problems to Akasaka as well.

I wonder if this is also thanks to this ability……or thanks to them.

“……Okay.”

I muttered quietly and started to walk away with a little bit of pride.

I’m not sure I have any confidence in myself yet.

I still have communication problems and my self-esteem remains low.

But I feel like I’ve been able to look forward, just a little bit.

Every day I’m perplexed by the unusual fondness I have for these girls, and I get pushed around by them, but that’s not all bad.

Let’s accept this situation and move forward, little by little.

I’ve come to be able to think in such a way that I can face the girls’ affection properly.

I guess it’s a big progress for me to be able to think like that.

Well, I’m sure I’ll get panicked or misunderstand again soon.

Still, it was on my way home that I felt the future looked a little brighter.
