Apparently, Hina and Konohana-senpai came to this Chinese restaurant. I really wanted to respond to them myself. ……
“Kogure! Fried rice for ten! Dumplings, claypot, and a big bowl of Chinese stir-fry!”
“And shao mai! Oh, I wonder if we have enough ingredients already! Too busy!”
“That’s it!~”
I’m so busy. It seems my cooking skills were more impressive than expected.
Word of mouth got out, and word of mouth got out, and it was outrageous.
One of my classmates had a kitchen car available, so I asked him for one and turned it into an outdoor restaurant. I used all the privileges I had as a member of the festival committee and acting student council president to get this far.
“Welcome! Please make yourself at home.”
“It’s very crowded, so please eat quickly and leave.”
Everyone came to the restaurant, attracted by the advertisements of the two great beauties, Tsumugi and Arisa, and by the smell of the food. The secret of their popularity is that Tsumugi is gentle and Arisa is always giving them a hard time. And then
“Why do I have to wear clothes made by this pervert with all these slits?”
“Stopthe pervert. But Reo was happy. He said, “It’s cute, it’s great”. I think it’s cute, too.”
“Shut up, you’re going to get yourself killed if you keep talking like that.”
“Shizuku san, you’re talking and acting like a jerk.”
I’ve been in danger of saying and doing things that are limited to me these days. I have been wearing a Chi Pao with a full slit just like Arisa and Tsumugi’s. This dress is not allowed to be worn with underwear.
Naturally, this dress doesn’t allow for underwear, so all of them wear no bras. I made these clothes myself.
“Get out of the way!”
“Kya!”
The petite Shizuku-san was sent flying toward me. And just in time, my hand lands on her chest …….
“Ah, …….”
“!”
I felt a very soft sensation ……. When I heard that she was a C-cup in her clothing measurements, I thought she was exaggerating, but I didn’t …… think so.
“I thought you were a shao mai, but were you actually bigger?”
“I’m going to kill you!”
“Wow, stop swinging that pan around!”
She attacked us in the most outrageous way! If it was Arisa and Tsumugi, they would definitely forgive me, but Shizuku-san would never forgive me. Well, to be honest, I’m being a little too judgmental with my comments. It’s a wonder that I can say that to Shizuku! Then, a helper arrived.
“Shizuku, give me 20 shumai.”
“Yees! Gohon. Reo kun, you should take a break too.”
“Oh! Shizuku is really cute.
Let’s take a break together. I want to be alone with you.”
“Moou! Reo kun is such a spoiled child.”
Thanks for the food. You really have a female face when you talk to Reo. When you talk to me, you look like an ogre. After a short break, I went to the audience.
Was Hina there a while ago? Well, it might not help to talk about it now, but …….
“Ryoma, take a break?”
“Is Arisa taking a break too? I wonder if Shizuku-san adjusted her schedule.”
“Maybe.”
Arisa’s Chi Pao is very sexy while I make it. Everyone was glancing at Arisa’s beautiful face and attractive body.
“What’s wrong, Ryoma?”
“I kind of hate it when other people see you dressed like that.”
“Even though Ryoma made this outfit?”
“That’s true, but ……. I’m sorry, I’m being weirdly possessive.”
“I can’t help being looked at. I’m used to being used as a poster girl.”
Arisa was probably the most beautiful person in elementary and junior high school. So maybe she’s used to this sort of thing. Arisa whispered in my ear.
“But only Ryoma is allowed to touch me. Don’t forget that.”
“Arisa ……”
You’re really cute. I truly want to touch you and spend time with you soon. That’s when it happened.
“Ni~ni~!”
An angel descended.
“Hiyori, you came! I wonder if Mom and Dad are in line.”
“Yeah! Ni~ni and Reo, I came to see Tsumugi chan and Shizuku.”
“Kyaaaaa! It’s Hiyori chan!
Arisa noticed Hiyori and came closer to her.
“Arisa onee san”
“You look so cute today! You’re an angel. Onee-san will buy you a drink!”
Arisa is still the same as ever.
“Mugo mugo.”
Hiyori was about to suffocate in the hug of her big breasts. I immediately help her up, pull a reluctant Arisa away, and send her back to my parents. And then, as Arisa’s break ends first and mine ends, I run into a familiar face.
“I see that the restaurant is thriving.”
“This place is so crowded.”
Two familiar voices. One is a girl with a cute face and a cheerful personality. The other is a handsome man who looks like a twin of Arisa. I know who these two are.
“Mizuhara-san, Shizuru-san. You’ve come.”
Mizuhara-san, Arisa’s childhood friend, and her older brother, Shizuru. The two who were dating were invited and came here
“Ryoma, hurry up and feed me fried rice. I’m hungry and I want three servings.”
“You’re still a glutton for food. ……”
“I want to eat the shumai that Shizuku made. Oh, who’s Shizuku’s boyfriend? Will something funny happen if I run into him?”
As mean as ever. Unfortunately, Reo is away from his desk right now, and Shizuku is cooking at full throttle while I’m not in the kitchen. Shizuku is the only one who can recreate my taste. But it’s hard to do it alone, so I should be back soon.
“Good luck, Kogure-chi. Oh, Tsumugi! Do the girls hate you today too?”
“Kokoro-chan!”
Mizuhara-san sees Tsumugi and runs off. Come to think of it, she became good friends with Tsumugi. I’d like to hear more of their conversation.
“You look better than before.”
“Huh? I see.”
Shizuru told me, and I’m a little puzzled.
“Yeah. When you officially go out with Arisa, let me know. My parents also wanted to meet you.”
“Eh! I’m afraid to do that.”
“There’s no need to be afraid. If Shizuku approves, our family is in good hands.”
“Does Shizuku san’s trust extend to her parents as well?”
What an influence. The Asahina family’s trustworthiness is too great.
“Hey Ryoma.”
Shizuru-san is coming closer to me.
“Yes”
“Quickly bring me four servings of fried rice.”
Oh dear, it’s just like Arisa’s brother. I wrapped a hand towel around my head and went back to the restaurant.
“Ryoma kun, how long are you taking a break?!”
“Oh dear, leave the rest to me!”
Now it’s time for the second half of the …… season. Aim for first place in sales!
It’s over.
I’m burnt out.
I’m white as a sheet. ……
It’s late in the evening. The line was still long even though the reception desk was closed, and there was no end in sight.
“Oh no, we were so busy~! I didn’t think I would have to buy additional ingredients.”
“That’s right.”
“I remember when your dad brought rice from home in his truck.”
“The vegetables were really bad too.”
The exhausted classmates laughed and praised each other. There was never a dull moment. I honestly didn’t think it would go this far. That’s me! Well, I think the Reo and the beautiful girls selling the vegetables did a great job, too.
“Thanks, Kogure. That was a lot of fun.”
I was somewhat embarrassed by the praise from the Reo group.
“Yeah, Shizuku was amazing but Ryoma was the best. And his fried rice was amazing.”
“That’s true.”
“Hhaha, it’s thanks to everyone’s help.”
“Thank you, Kogure-kun. It was a great memory.”
“We had a lot of fun, too.”
I’m glad to receive compliments from classmates I don’t know very well. I’m not used to this kind of thing. …… I was completely ignored in junior high school, so I didn’t enjoy the festival or anything at all.
“You don’t think you’re air anymore, do you?”
“Reo?”
“Ryoma is an awesome guy. Everyone in this class thinks so.”
I see. I’ve been trying my best to be as good as Arisa, and before I knew it, I was recognized by everyone.
I can no longer belittle myself as invisible. I guess this is all thanks to meeting Arisa. Now that I think about it, Arisa isn’t here. Tsumugi noticed how I was acting.
“Are you looking for Arisa?”
“I thought she was here a while ago. That reminds me, Shizuku-san is not here either. I’ve been so busy cooking that I haven’t paid any attention to it.”
I was so busy cooking that I didn’t pay attention to it at all.
“You forgot the main event, the Miss Contest?
It has already started.”
“Oh!”
“Shizuku-chan will be a judge as the acting student council president. I wish I could have participated if Arisa-chan and Hina-chan were participating as well.”
“Tsumugi chan was so cute~!”
“Chi Pao is so sexy! You should come to our school again!”
“Let’s go to our school’s party.”
“Oh, I don’t know what to do.”
This childhood friend is saying things that make you think. Since a while ago, all the boys from the other school who are enjoying the cultural festival find Tsumugi and call out to her, I wonder how well they know each other. By the way, not one girl.
I feel that she has become a ridiculous little devil girl as a result of shaking off her past and starting to realize her own strength. It’s terrifying. I was told by Shizuku-san, “Don’t let Tsumugi participate in the Miss Contest”. She’ll take all the popularity from the boys.
“I want to be with my classmates today, so I’ll see you later.”
She goes lightly and quickly, doesn’t she? All the boys from the other school give up and leave.
“Did you find anyone good at that school over there? If there is someone who cares about Tsumugi ……”
“Hmm? What’s wrong, Ryouma? Why are you suddenly asking me something like that?”
“I’m Tsumugi’s childhood friend, so I was curious…”
“As long as you’re not crazy about Arisa, then I can relax.”
Tsumugi smiled brightly.
“So far, I haven’t met a boy better than Ryouma. So I hope you’ll marry Arisa soon. That’s all I wish for.”
“Tsumugi ……. Thank you.”
“And when you get tired of her, you can remind yourself of the importance of childhood friends.”
“Hee? What now?”
“Look, the beauty pageant is about to end. It’s over. “
I felt like I had been told something outrageous, but it was true that I had to hurry. I decided to head to the gymnasium where the MissCon was being held.
The system of the MissCon is that the men’s and women’s beauty pageants are held on consecutive nights and all the candidates compete against each other.
In this case, it was a joint festival of two schools, so at least one representative from each school would be competing for both genders.
Our school’s female representative was naturally Asahina Arisa. And the representative of the other school is Konohana Hina. I never thought it would be one-on-one. Maybe the other girls cancelled their participation when they heard that Arisa and Hina were going to participate. So, Shizuku-san NG’d Tsumugi.
Are you sure Hina is in the Miss Contest? That Hina who was not good with men and was scared of them……. Did amnesia change Hina into a different person? Arriving at the gymnasium, I looked up at the podium and saw that they were gone.
“Oh! Kogure.
Over here, over here.”
Suzuki, Tanaka, and Sato of the cheerful group beckoned me over. I thought they had been with me a while ago, but it seemed they had moved on as quickly as possible.
At first they treated me like an outsider, but now they treat me like Reo.
Maybe I should have tried harder earlier.
“What’s the situation now?”
“This is the best part. They’re going to do the swimsuit test now. They’re changing right now.”
“Swimsuit judging……”
The most popular element of a women’s beauty pageant is the swimsuit judging. It is the swimsuit judging. How is it possible in this day and age? I’ve always heard that there are not enough participants, but I guess this is the reason.
“Oh!”
Two beautiful girls appeared with a loud cheer.
Arisa, the strongest and most perfect beauty that our school is proud of.
She showed off her perfectly proportioned swimsuit. It wasn’t the sexy swimsuit she wore at the pool with the other girls, but it was a bikini that showed off her charms.
“I wish I could have seen her at close range. ……”
“She’s a real beauty. I’d be proud of her if she was my girlfriend.”
“Kogure, you got dumped, but you’re still my friend. I’m sure your stock went up at the festival, and now you’re going to be successful.”
“I guess so. ……”
I can’t say we’re in a hugging relationship anymore. All the students are fascinated by her. Arisa is really beautiful. But even though she’s beautiful, I think Arisa is cute. I’m sure Shizuku and I are the only ones who know how cute she is.
“But you know what? the girl from the other school is cute, too, isn’t she? She’s tall and has big breasts.
I think she’s on par with Asahina.”
“It’s true! If Hiiragi is there too, it will be great.”
“Hina ……”
Hina also once had a physique that was beyond that of a middle school student.
Even though she had so many complexes, she now carries herself with a confident and charming personality. She remains just as pretty and stylish.
But the way she poses and flaunts her body to everyone is not at all the same as before. If anything, she used to hunch over. But now she stands up straight.
“It’s wonderful! This year’s Miss Contest is the best ever, even if we include eternity!”
The host boy was in tears of joy. I was in close proximity to both of them, and it might have been a perk of the role.
“Let’s hear from the two judges. First of all, Otsuki-san, who is the acting president of the student council of our school. According to the materials at hand, you and Asahina-san are childhood friends, aren’t you?”
“Yes, that’s correct. Arisa.”
Arisa waves to Shizuku in a friendly manner. Many boys were seen feeling excited by her kind behavior. Arisa is cool after all, but that appearance is also irresistible.
“Arisa is my best childhood friend. We’ve known each other since we were little, and I know everything about her.”
“Oh, I see. I’m sure everyone wants to know what she likes in men, right? If you don’t mind, could you tell me?”
“Yes. After all, she is always busy. so a boy who can support her would be ideal. I think a boy who is good at cooking and housework in general and is attentive would be ideal.”
“Oh, wow!”
Some of the students made a gesture of taking some kind of notes. I thought the target was me. No, that’s a bit too much to ask.
“But I think a weak man who is insensitive, moves like a small fish, and is full of regrets about the past is not good, so I would like to fix that.”
I knew she was talking about me. I’m aware of it, so I can’t say anything about it.
“I-I see. So you’re Konohana Hina’s older sister, Konohana Student Council President. Tell me about Hina.”
“Yes… My younger sister, Hina, used to be a quiet girl who spent all her time reading books at home, but one day she broke out of her shell and started attending events like this one regularly. As her older sister, I’m both happy and sad about that.”
“Sad……?”
“No need to say it. The Konohana family is a family with good looks and a strong sense of beauty. It’s only natural.”
“So, tell us about your sister’s taste in men.”
“No need. I will find the right man for my sister, so please keep your infatuation to yourself.”
The student who was presenting was speechless. Konohana-senpai was speaking the same old words. She never changes in this way. Hina sighed as she watched her sister. The presenter was a little shaken, but managed to pull himself together.
“Now for the final showdown. The winner of this match will be the winner of this year’s Miss Contest! The subject is a game of confession.”
“Confession?!”
Arisa’s voice rang out.
“You two, please nominate a boy in the gym. You will then confess your love to that boy. The one who makes that boy’s heart flutter will be the winner.”
“W-Well, there’s no way we can do that. ……”
“Of course, if it’s too hard to nominate a boy, the management will choose one at random. It will be okay”
“Giro”
“I-I’m just kidding.”
Arisa’s murderous glare silenced the moderator. This confrontation must be quite a disadvantage for the man-hating Arisa. …….
I don’t want to see Arisa confess to someone other than me. Even if it’s just for fun.
“I don’t want to be bothered with nominations, so just pick one at random.”
“Then may I pick one?”
Hina glanced toward the audience. Then she made a round and pointed.
“Please be that person.”
I feel like she is pointing in my direction. Is Hina’s favorite person in this gymnasium? I don’t want to see that either. I’m so selfish.
“Isn’t that pointing at Kogure?”
“Right?”
“Eh? As expected, that’s …….”
I move to the right. Then Hina’s finger points in that direction. I move to the left and it goes…… Really?
“Come here, you student there who was chosen by Konohana-san.”
“R-Ryoma!”
Arisa was surprised too, and I headed toward the podium, receiving a look of envy. Why did Hina choose me? Her memory came back ……? But if that were the case, she wouldn’t be in a beauty pageant like this.
“Oops, even I know who was chosen. It’s Kogure Ryoma, a first-year student! I’ve heard rumors that you are the most active student in this festival.”
I was a little flustered to be called by name without having even introduced myself.
“As a member of the festival committee, he has been instrumental in resolving issues between the two schools. And he was the main chef of the Chinese restaurant that sold the most today out of all the classes’ entries. His fried rice was so good!”
“I went there too~! The fried rice and shao mai were so good!”
“The girls’ costumes were so cute!”
“Reo kun’s outfit was super cool too.”
By the time I got to the podium, there were quite a few shout-outs. To be honest, I had been aiming for it, but I didn’t expect it to be so well received. I know it wasn’t just an accomplishment on my part.
Then, Shizuku-san spoke up.
“I dressed the three standouts of the class in special outfits, but it was Ryoma-kun who made those outfits. He was also the one who led the cooking, so I hope you are pleased.”
“So it was! He made that naughty–gohon, special outfit”
“But I made the best-selling shao mai, so it wasn’t his achievement alone.”
“Oh~! The acting student council president is also amazing”
I’m glad you stood up for me, Shizuku-san, but you’re promoting yourself too.
Also, the special costumes I made were supposed to be for the four of them…but I don’t want to stand out either. I could see through Shizuku’s thoughts. The student who was the host shouted out loud.
“And what’s impressive is the fact that he made a big confession to Asahina Arisa on the stage. Konohana-san chose him, but this could be a disadvantage.”
I guess so.
I confessed to Arisa because I wasn’t going to be invited to this girl’s beauty pageant, and now Arisa is going to confess to me. If Arisa refuses to confess to me, I can run away from this podium, but …….
“Asahina-san, would it be all right if the confession is in the form of a confession to Kogure-kun!”
“I understand. All I have to do is show him the best confession than that girl, right?”
“All right! Then …… which one of you will give the most attractive confession. That will determine the winner of the beauty pageant!”
“Oooooooh!”
And that’s a hell of a thing!
“Wait! If you do that, Hina will be ……him, of all people!”
Konohana-senpai gets up from her seat and tries to stop her. But as if interrupting her words, Hina’s voice passed just inside the platform.
“Nee sama, this is just an event.
I think you should respect the atmosphere of the occasion. As the daughter of Konohana, you should always remain calm. That’s what you taught me.”
“Damn it! But!”
“Please sit there, nee sama.”
To think that Hina could have talked Konohana-senpai into submission… Looking at her like this, it really hits home how much she’s changed.
“Umm~”
Hina speaks up.
“I’ve been sensing a lot of hostility from earlier, did I do something?”
“Nothing. I guess it’s just your imagination.”
“I see. Hiiragi-san was very beautiful, but Asahina-san’s appearance was truly captivating!”
“I see, thank you.”
The atmosphere is heavy for some reason. I can kind of understand why. Arisa knows that Hina was my first love. Ugh, I’m so sorry it turned out like this.
“You’re the one. Hmm, you have beautiful hair, big breasts, and you’re pretty… No wonder people like you.”
“Yes?”
“Stop looking at me after you finish speaking.” Hina didn’t seem to understand what Arisa had meant.
But looking at Hina, she had long, shiny hair and a perfectly balanced bodyline. We’ve never gone to the pool together, but I’ll never forget how alluring Hina looked in her light clothing.
“Ryoma? Where are you looking?”
I thought my heart would come out of my mouth at the black sentiment lurking in Arisa’s smile.
“It’s only me you’re looking at, isn’t it?”
I didn’t actually say it, but it sounded like I did!
Arisa looks so beautiful in her swimsuit, but familiarity is a scary thing. I’m used to Arisa’s body because she usually mangles me with her thin clothes. The sense of deja vu is amazing.
“Muuu……”
Arisa is in a bad mood. She might have really messed up.
“You confessed to Asahina-san, didn’t you? Do you still like her?”
I can’t help but nod in response to Hina’s question, of course.
“I’m sure I’m at a disadvantage. But if I can turn you around like that, then that means I can win this beauty contest.”
“What the heck. ……”
Hina is agitating! There was emotion in Arisa’s voice, and it was a very MissCon-like situation. The student who was hosting the event began to shout out.
“In order to make a confession, you still have to know the person you are confessing to. So here is a quiz! Both Asahina-san and Konohana-san, please give the answer that Kogure-san prefers.”
“I’m his best friend and I know Ryoma the best …….”
“But you dumped him, didn’t you?”
“! That’s ……!”
“I’m kind of confident. I don’t know why.”
“First question! Kogure-kun, please tell us what you like in a girl.”
What in the world has started? I had to stand up for Arisa for now, or I would be in for a frightening situation later on. I’m going to give my full approval to Arisa’s answer.
“Yes!”
Arisa raised her hand.
“Then, Asahina-san, please answer the question.”
“I know what Ryoma likes in a girl. Yes, girls with big breasts!”
“Bwah!”
“Oh, you’re suddenly revealing his proclivity for girls! How about this?”
“……. Correct.”
“Correct! Kogure-san likes big breasts!
Well, that’s normal.”
“You porno bastard!”
“I know what you mean!~”
The audience was jeering at me.
I’m the one being humiliated, no matter how you look at it! Couldn’t you have said something different?
“Kogure-kun!”
Hina calls out to me as my face turns red. She puts her hands on her big breasts and emphasizes them.
“I have confidence in the size of my breasts. Do you like it?”
“Nugg!”
“Konohana’s sexy shot makes Kogure crouch down! This is a critical hit.”
“Wait, that’s not fair!”
“I’m at a disadvantage, so it’s only natural.”
I was unknowingly thrilled that Hina would do this to me, as I never thought she would.
“I-I’m not going to lose!”
“Let’s have fun!”
Arisa was in a hurry and Hina was enjoying herself. After that, several more quizzes followed, and finally it was time for the final quiz.
“Time is running out, so this will be the last quiz!”
If it was just a quiz, Hina might have had the upper hand. I don’t remember Hina being this good at teasing ……. Arisa looked frustrated in her swimsuit.
“Guess what Kogure-san’s dream is for the future!”
A dream for the future. The words made my heart pound. I had lost my dream since the day my eye was injured. I want to support Arisa’s start-up business as her lover. This desire is strong, but it is not a dream. That’s why my dream is …….
“Konohana Hina-san, go ahead.”
Hina was the first to raise her hand.
“Is it possible that a pilot?”
“!!”
I involuntarily looked at Hina’s face when she said that.
“Well……. I don’t know why I feel that way when I look at you. Is it not?”
Hina seemed a little shaken. Perhaps she had spoken before thinking. Perhaps deep in her heart she still had memories of the time she spent with me. But…
“Maybe that was the case if it was a childhood dream. But I’ve given up on that dream now, so I don’t think it’s the same as my future dream.”
“Ryoma …….”
Arisa looks worried because my expression is still not good. I thought I had shaken it off, but when Hina says that to me, I still get upset…
“Well,……, since you have answered incorrectly, then we will be closing the quiz.”
The moderator, perhaps sensing the mood, took the helm to force the end of the quiz. I have to behave like a man.
I have to make my presence as strong as the two beautiful girls to win the Reo at the boys’ beauty pageant tomorrow. I’ve already decided that I’m not going to mope around anymore.
“Please confess your feelings, and Kogure san extend your hand to the one whose heart has moved you. The moment you hold hands with a girl, victory is decided!”
The audience, which had been a little hushed, seemed to get excited again.
Both Arisa and Hina were a little perturbed by the host’s words, but their eyes changed their gleam at my words.
“I’ll go first.”
Arisa stepped forward and looked at me. Come to think of it, I don’t think I’ve ever heard a confession from Arisa.
There were close words at the pool, but the situation was different from that time. It was a confession from Asahina Arisa, who had never nodded to a confession from anyone before, a difficult task.
All the students in the gymnasium were watching the scene. I was also very nervous.
Was she going to be the cool, domineering Arisa of the school? Or would she go the cute route, the one she only shows to people she is close to?
“I-I-I…..”
Arisa’s face turned bright red as she came out with a bang. What if this is the pattern?
“I can’t do it! I can’t do it~!”
She turns her back, hides her face, and crouches down. Somehow I had a feeling that was the case. Arisa has a tendency to be quite shy.
She can blow off steam when it’s just the two of us, but she’s still embarrassed to be seen by so many people. But it doesn’t end there. Arisa looks back at me with a bright red face and teary eyes.
“….. but I still love you.”
Such destructive power. Asahina Arisa always has a strong and cool side to her, but when she makes a gesture like this it really hits home. Then Arisa ran off, and ended up behind Shizuku.
“You did well, Arisa.”
“Not again. I’ll never answer it again.”
“The next one is Konohana Hina, please. Can you top Asahina’s confession!”
A confession from Hina. If I nodded my head at this, I would turn all the girls in the Arisa group against me, and I would be verbally abused by Shizuku-san. The Hina of today is different from the Hina of then. She is a different person.
“Ryoma-kun, I love you. The days I spent with you were my precious time. I want to …… start over with you again.”
“……Ah?”
“Sorry. I just said the first thing that came to mind. I called you by your name, Ryouma-kun… well, it’s embarrassing, as I thought.”
Hina was flustered, her face reddening. It was a close call. I was about to move unintentionally because she said it with the old Hina’s face.
“Now, Kogure-san, which will you choose?”
But my mind is made up. I don’t want to go back to the past, I want to live in the future.
Arisa was hiding behind Shizuku, but Shizuku pushed her forward. I held her hand.
“Thank you for confessing your feelings to me.”
“Ryoma!”
“I’ll make a true confession to you.”
“At this moment! The winner of this year’s Miss Women’s Contest has been decided. It is decided that it will be Asahina Arisa!”
The place was abuzz with excitement, and I felt that this was the right thing to do. I moved closer to Hina to apologize to her.
“I’m sorry, Konohana-san. For me, Arisa is. I’m sorry. ……”
Tears were falling from Hina’s eyes.
“Huh? Something’s wrong, this isn’t supposed to happen… Ugh, my head!”
“Hina!”
Just like that, Hina took off running, fleeing from the stage.
“Tch, you’re going to hurt Hina after all!”
Konohana-senpai followed suit and ran off. It was no good. I had to go. I had made her cry… Just as I was about to move forward, someone grabbed my hand. Restrained, I turned around forcefully. There was a confused Arisa there.
“Are you going to go away ……? Hey.”
“Oh, …….”
What am I doing… Showing such regretful feelings in front of the girl I like…
I thought I had made up my mind.
“I’m sorry, Arisa. I was upset because she cried. It’s okay now, my number one is always you.”
“……Yeah”
Maybe I should talk to Hina again, but I feel like it’s fine to just leave it like this. I chose Arisa over Hina, after all. Doing things half-heartedly will only hurt people.
Thus, the girls’ beauty contest was closed with Arisa as the winner. It was rumored that both of us were in love, but I confessed my love to her because I didn’t want to lose the beauty contest, and my love has not yet been fulfilled.
Anyway, a lot happened today. Tomorrow evening, the big event, the men’s beauty contest, awaits.
If I can participate in it and win, I can say that my goal is almost accomplished.
And at the after-party that night, I accomplished my original goal. I got plenty of rest that night and woke up the next morning.
“Ryoma, let’s go on a date at the festival together.”
Yes, it was a date.
At Tsumugi’s invitation, I decided to go around the school just the two of us.
Oh, no, I can’t do that!
