Himekane Wakana.
She is also called the most beautiful girl in school, and is a popular person who has caught the eyes of many boys.
Such a girl is–….
“Mojimoji……” *SFX hesitantly
“Hnnn…”
I was called to an unpopular place.
The time is now noon. I was thinking about what I was going to have for lunch, thinking about the menu at the school cafeteria and the contents of my wallet, after a hectic gym class.
Then I was told by the most beautiful girl in school that she wanted to talk to me about her love life, so I hopped on over…….
“mojimoji.”
The whole time, she just squirmed and squirmed in front of me, looking embarrassed. If I don’t do something soon, I’ll miss my lunch.
“If you have something to discuss with me, please do it quickly.”
I had no choice but to ask her a question, to which she replied with a sharp “Muuu.”
“E-Even I have to be prepared!”
“I have something important to do, like eat lunch.”
“I-I’m sorry about that, ……? But don’t you think you’re responsible for breaking the ice, too?”
“I’m the one who broke the ice?”
“Because when I try to talk to you, you say something like, ‘First of all, what’s your name?’”
Yes – I didn’t know her name. No, I knew exactly what her name was, but I had forgotten it.
So I asked her name before I talked to her.
“I mustered up quite a bit of courage to speak out to you, but…I felt a bit let down by that.”
Himekane gave me a look of protest.
“That’s my bad. I’m sorry about that, but please make it quick if you can.”
“I know I’m the one asking you to do this, so I know it’s out of line, but …… don’t you think you’re being a little cold? I think you should be nicer to girls.”
“Am I cold? I think it’s normal.”
“No, no, you’re cold, aren’t you? If I have something to discuss with a boy in my class, he’ll be very sincere and listen to me~”
“Really?”
“Compared to that, aren’t you cold?”
“I don’t know why you compared me to the boys in your class, but do you think it’s normal for guys to be nice to you?”
“Eh?”
“Whatever, get to the point. I’ve got a pretty good idea what you’re talking about.”
“R-really?”
“Well, you asked me about Sumeragi earlier”
“I-I see. …… Well, I’ll tell you …… then.”
Himekane continued as if she had made up her mind.
“I-I! I like Sumeragi-kun!”
As expected. It would be natural to expect her to ask if I am on good terms with Sumeragi.
“You know…… On the morning of the day Sumeragi transferred to the new school, while I was taking the bus to school, I had a …… little bit of a bad thing happen.”
“Bad thing happen?”
“That’s what I’d like you to understand,…….”
Since she said that, there must have been something she didn’t want to say. Judging from the expression on her face, it’s clear that she’s not happy.
“But Sumeragi-kun helped me with that.”
I see, she commutes to school by bus, right? I’m skimping on the bus fare and walking an hour each way to school every morning.
“Well, is that why you fell in love with him?”
“Yeah. Sumeragi-kun, he was late for the first day of his new school because he helped me. Still, Sumeragi-kun doesn’t seem to mind at all… He’s so kind…”
“Hmmm.”
As expected, she is a prince.
“So, what do you want me to do?”
“I want you to cooperate! Um… so that I and Sumeragi-kun can go out!”
“Eh”
So that Sumeragi and Himekane can go out?
“Perhaps ……No…..?”
“Ah no, it’s not a no. I mean, I don’t know.”
“Eh? What?”
“I need to ask you something, okay?”
“What?”
“Can you be with a man or a woman? If you can be with both, that’s fine.”
“Eh? What’s that question ……?”
“Just answer the question.”
“Umm, maybe a boy. Girls are no..?”
“I see.”
Then, I guess it’s no good. ……
Even if Sumeragi is open to same-gender marriage, it would be a bad idea if Himekane is not.
However, if I answer “I can’t cooperate” here, it might be interpreted from the current question.
“Okay, I get it. Then, I’ll at least find out if he has a pulse or not.”
“R-Really?!”
“But I won’t cooperate any further.”
“Y-yeah! Thank you! Tazuna kun!”
Himekane was so happy that she shook my hand.
A sudden body touch from a girl!
I don’t get a chance to touch girls very often, so that alone was quite stimulating for me.
“Huh? Is something wrong?”
“No, it’s nothing.”
I think I understand why she is called the most beautiful girl in school and why she is so popular among boys.
At the very least, I’ll do my job for the soft touch of her hand. I thought so.

“Jiii” *Stare
Lunch break was over, and I was rushing to eat my lunch before going to my 5th period class.
“Open your textbook to page 32.”
It was the math class assigned by our homeroom teacher, Okuda san. She was as tired as ever, drawing lines on the blackboard with her chalk. Every time she did so, a clattering sound could be heard throughout the classroom. Occasionally, the sound of a mechanical pencil would also be heard.
The teacher proceeded at her own pace. When she ran out of space to write on the blackboard, she would erase without mercy, without regard for the students. This is probably why everyone is frantically copying what she has written on the board.
She is usually called “Hibiki-chan-sensei,” and is seen as somewhat disrespected by the students. …… Surprisingly, no one talks or sleeps during class.
During such a rigorous math class, I was not obediently copying the writing on the board, but my gaze was currently directed at a certain person.
“Jiii.”
“……Cira” *Glance
“Jii.”
“…….”
As if she was concerned about my gaze, the prince next door, also known as Sumeragi, glanced at me uncomfortably.
“Now then, answer this question verbally. Tazuna”
“X minus three.”
“Incorrect.”
I made a mistake when I was looking in the margins. Now I must concentrate on the class. Then I turned my head forward, and this time Sumeragi was staring at me.
“Jiii.”
Was this payback for my earlier stare? It is true that it is uncomfortable to be stared at.
“Then, please answer this question……Sumeragi”
“X minus three.”
“Correct.” (TL/N : Eh? maybe different question)
And so fifth period ended and it was time for recess. I ended up calling out to my neighbor who had been staring at me ever since.
“Hey, what’s wrong with you staring at people’s faces since a while ago?”
“Hee? I-It’s nothing!?”
“Really? By the way, how is your injury?”
“W-Well, it’s …… all right. ……”
“Are you blushing?”
“N-No, I’m not!
“No, you’re red.”
“Uuuu…… I’ve been in a weird mood since then when I think about Tazuna kun. ……”
He’s mumbling something under his breath, but what?
“Oh, more than that! Do you want to ask me something…? You’ve been watching me for a while since 5th period started, right?”
“Ah, actually there’s something I’d like to ask you.”
“What do you want to ask me?”
“Who do you like better, guys or girls?”
“Eh!? W-Why are you asking me that?!”
“I’m just asking for your information.”
“I don’t know what kind of reference you’re talking about, but ……, A-a boy, I guess.”
Sumeragi told me in a voice that only I could hear.
“What about girls?”
“Not that I’m particularly interested in girls.”
“I see.”
Girls are not a target. Well, now I can say to Himekane without any worries, “No pulse! You have to give up!”
It is better to give up on an unfulfilled love as soon as possible. No one will be happy if you keep on clinging to that love forever.
“O-Oh, you know, that …… question you just asked me, is it about me and ……?
“Hm? What’s going on with you? You have something to say?”
“Eh? Oh, no, it’s …… ummm …….”
“What’s with your red face?”
I approach Sumeragi and look into her face. Immediately, her face turned red.
“Eh, ah, eh, close.”
“Hmm? Perhaps you have a fever?”
“Hee!? No, I don’t think so. ……”
“Come on, let’s get your forehead out.”
I put my hand on her forehead and she let out a cute scream “Hyaa!?”. I put my hand on her forehead and she gave a cute scream.
“Eh? Whose scream was that?”
“It was a very cute scream…”
“”Didn’t it sound like Sumeragi kun?”
“No way.”
The classroom is in an uproar. Sumeragi started and hurriedly covered her mouth. I also withdrew my hand. After a while, it turned out to be just my imagination
After that, Sumeragi was very angry with me, in a volume that only I could hear.
“R-Really you…! Can you please not do that to me out of the blue!?”
“I’m sorry. Since you looked like a man, I ended up treating you like a male friend. Come to think of it, Sumeragi is a girl. I will be careful from now on.”
“…… a-a male friend.”
Oh? her shoulders are slumped, and I can see she’s disappointed.
Did something happen that made her feel depressed?
