Friday lunch break. Satouchi Yoko said.
“Tomorrow, let’s all go out and have fun, shall we?”
“I don’t mind. How about you guys?”
Taiyo asked.
“I’ll pass. I’m tired of coming all the way to Kumamoto City.”
Kamiyama said. Like us, she’s commuting from Yatsushiro.
“I’ll pass too. I have a date tomorrow.”
Ibata said.
“Oh, Eguchi-san, right? Did you get together?”
“No, not yet. So it’s an important time.”
“I see.”
“You’re going, right?”
Taiyo asks me.
“Ummm, I’m free, but wouldn’t it bother if I went?”
The girls are after him, so what’s the point of me going?
“I don’t think so.”
Mizusaki Yayoi says. Yeah, you’re so kind, Mizusaki-san. She’s always so considerate of me, even though she’s going for Taiyo. I feel sorry for her. That’s right, I thought of a good idea.
“Okay, I’ll go.”
I said that for the time being.
“Okay. So tomorrow, it’ll be the four of us.”
“Yeah. We’ll meet at Kumamoto station for now.”
Taiyo, Satouchi and Mizusaki were excited. Well, I don’t have anything to do with it.
◇◇◇
The next day, the day the four of us went out together. I put the strategy I had been thinking about into action. I send a message to the sun.
Kouki “Sorry. I think I have a stomach ache. I’ll rest at home today.”
Taiyo: “Are you alright?”
Kouki: “I’ll be fine as long as I stay in the bathroom. You guys go have fun by yourselves.”
Taiyo: “Okay, I understand. I’ll let them know.”
Of course, I didn’t have a stomach ache. It was a temporary illness. The girls want to play with Taiyo, but they have no choice but to invite me because I’m here. That’s why I’m taking a temporary sick day. I sometimes use this technique.
Well, let’s enjoy our Saturday off.
I read a comic book.
Taiyo and I are similar in many ways. He is tall and used to be a basketball player. We like to watch sports. We have a strong sense of justice. However, there are two things we are not alike. He is popular and I am not. And he is an outdoorsman. I’m an indoor person.
I don’t often tell people this, but I like manga and anime. However, I don’t know much about them, so I don’t have any otaku friends. I just enjoy them lightly.
Today I am reading “Houkago Teibo Nisshi” (After School Teibo Journal). It is a manga about high school girls fishing in Ashikita, Kumamoto. It has been made into an anime, which I had seen, but I had only read the manga halfway through. After lunch I continued reading this one and ended up reading the last volume. I heard that the latest edition was recently published, but I don’t have it with me. I had no choice but to go out and buy it for the first time in a while.
Anyway, I got on my bicycle and went to the bookstore. Hmmm, I looked for it, but it was not there.
When I was about to leave the bookstore
“Huh, Nagatsuki?”
There was Kamiyama Fumika.

This MC is so frustrating, lol. There are people like this in real life and they are always a huge pain in the ass. It feels hard to motivate why someone like Yayoi would like him when he just feels sorry for himself 24/7.
Yayoi said directly to the MCs face that she was interested in Taiyo rather than him (in the third or fourth chapter). Why in the hell would the MC think she’s being anything but inclusive.
