It was the long awaited recess.
I quickly got out of my seat and looked for my friend at the front of the classroom.
There he was.
A man with short, almost sports-cut hair and a vivacious smile.
It was Akasaka Kenta.
“Hey, Akasaka !”
“Hm? Oh, Kageno. What’s up?”
Akasaka is a member of the basketball club and is at the center of the popular group in our class.
I wonder why he’s friends with me like this, but we’ve known each other since junior high school, and it’s no exaggeration to say that he’s my only friend.
Above his head, [Akasaka Kenta: 70/100] is displayed.
Yeah, so high. That’s my best friend (?).
“I have something to discuss with you…”
I keep my voice down so that people around me don’t hear.
“With me? It’s rare to hear from you. Money? I don’t have any.”
“No, not that ! It’s more serious……”
I quickly explained what had happened since this morning, that I could now see other people’s likeability, and that the likeability of all the beautiful girls in my class were buggy.
“–So, Takamine san is [98], Shirakawa san is [unmeasurable], and Hina chan is [120] ! What do you think !?”
After Akasaka finished listening to my frantic explanation, he stared at me with a puzzled look on his face,
“……Kageno, have you finally lost your mind?”
“I knew that was your reaction !”
I knew it ! You wouldn’t normally believe that, would you !
But it’s true !
“No, no, no, calm down. You can see the likability? The likability of beautiful girls is bugged? You’ve been reading too many novels, dude.”
“I’m not reading too much ! It’s happening in real life !”
“Hmmm……. Well, if you say so, I’ll leave it at that. So? Did you do anything good with that ability?”
Akasaka asks with a grin.
He doesn’t believe me at all.
“Nothing good has come out of it ! There’s nothing but confusion !”
“Now, now. Anyway, why don’t you just try talking to Takamine san? Her likeability rating is 98, right? Maybe you have a chance?”
“Don’t be absurd ! I can’t believe I’m talking to that Takamine san……!”
Just the thought of it makes my heart skip a beat.
The other person is a cool beauty with both intelligence and beauty, right?
She’s not someone that an introvert like me could casually talk to.
“Kageno, good morning.”
Hiiiii !?
Suddenly, a voice called out to me from behind.
This dignified voice came from….don’t tell me !
I turned around fearfully and saw Takamine san standing there.
The beautiful black hair is swaying.
Her well-groomed face is as cool as ever.
However, above her head, there is still a [98/100] display on……
“T-Takamine san !? G-good morning !”
My voice turned inside out beautifully due to nervousness.
Oh no, did I creep her out?
For a moment, Takamine san widened her eyes in surprise, but soon returned to her usual cool expression.
“……Yeah.”
Shortly, that was all she answered.
The same Takamine san as usual.
I knew that the likability [98] was just a bug.
The next moment I thought so.
[Takamine Rin: 99/100.]
……It went up !?
Why !?
I just said hello !? And even though my voice turned inside out !?
“I-I’ll see you later, Kageno ! I just remembered I have something to do !”
Akasaka, perhaps thinking he was being considerate, quickly leaves the scene.
Hey, wait ! Don’t leave me alone !
Overhead is [Akasaka Kenta: 72/100]. It’s annoying that it’s slightly elevated !
I’m now alone with Takamine san.
An awkward silence passes.
I have to say something…..!
But what should I talk about ….!
“Um…….”
Before I could say anything, Takamine san opened her mouth.
“….Not that I have any business with you.”
“Eh?”
“Just that you were talking to Akasaka.”
After saying that, Takamine san closed her mouth again.
Eh? What do you mean?
I was talking to Akasaka, so you called out to me?
I don’t understand……
However, I noticed that Takamine san’s ears were slightly reddening.
Huh? Could it be that……she’s embarrassed?
A cool beauty’s unexpected side?
No, no, no way.
It must be my imagination.
The number [99] must be some kind of mistake.
That’s what I had to tell myself.
