June 15, the day of the athletic festival.
The venue is crowded with people, and it’s a crazy party.
Haruka and others were talking happily with their parents.
By the way, I remembered something when I saw their faces.
I already know Kaori san, so it’s okay.
Yano Ai’s father, a regular salaryman, looks like a good-looking guy, loves his daughter very much.
Yano Ai’s mother, who is in her 40s but could be believed to be in her late 20s, is a cool-looking beauty with a stern but kind personality.
Aizawa Sara’s father, a math teacher at a junior high school, is a serious man who worries about Sara’s introverted nature.
Aizawa Sara’s mother, a teacher at a nursery school, loves children and loves Sara too much.
All five of them are the parents of the three most beautiful women in the world, and they are all very good-looking, which attracts the attention of other students and their families.
Kamiya Suguru’s father is neither good-looking nor bad-looking, and he is a businessman with a gentle personality.
Kamiya Suguru’s mother is a nurse with good looks and a calm personality.
But the parents get along well with each other.
I’d like to say hello to Kaori san, but I can’t right now because of as expected
The gymnasium is going on and it’s time for the bread-eating contest.
Haruka is going to participate in the bread-eating contest.
“Akuru~!”
she said loudly and waved at me.
The stares around me hurt, but I didn’t care and answered.
“Go for it, Haruka”
Haruka was jumping up and down with joy when I said that.
Kaori san was also smiling when she saw that.
Yes, this mother and daughter are just too cute.
While I was thinking that, the competition started.
Haruka, who has good athletic skills, took the first place with a comfortable margin and came toward me and hugged me.
“Akuru~ I’m in first place, praise me, praise me”
Haruka doesn’t care about the gazes of those around her anymore, well, Kaori san is smiling too, so I guess it doesn’t matter.
But Kamiya’s gaze is the only thing that irritates me for some reason. Unlike the others, it conveys a kind of murderous intent.
But I’ve decided to live my life without worrying about Kamiya, so I’ll have to deal with that sooner or later.
Of course I’m not going to back out of Haruka, I’m going to do what I want to do.
“Yeah, Congratulations, that was cool.”
I patted her on the head.
“Hehehe, thank you♪”
Haruka was happy, smiling and rubbing her face.
The next event was the 100-meter run.
I turned to Ai, who was nearby, and said in a quiet voice
“Good luck”
“Y-Yes, yes, I’ll do my best.”
She looked at me for a moment and immediately turned her head away.
Ai is not as good as Haruka, but she is quite athletic.
The result was, of course, first place.
I looked at Ai, pointed my fist forward, and gestured to her that she had done well.
Ai was a little embarrassed, but she turned to me and gave me a small gut-punch.
The next competition was a scavenger hunt, and the contestant was Sara.
Haruka cheered so loudly that Sara turned to me and our eyes met, so I cheered for her with a gut-punch.
Sara looked a little embarrassed and turned her eyes away.
Sara got a paper with a raised rank.
Sara’s face was red and she was getting nervous.
Apparently she was looking at me and Kamiya alternately.
She nodded lightly and eventually ran toward me.
“S-Sano kun! Please come with me!”
Sara said shyly.
“Yeah, Let’s go.”
And so, as we started to run…
“Ouch.”
Sara sprained her leg.
“Are you okay?”
“Yeah, I’m fine.”
She tried to run again, but it looked like she wouldn’t make it.
“I’m sorry.”
I said, and I held her in a princess hug.
“E-Eeeehh?”
Sara was extremely flustered, but I just smiled at her and ran on.
The students and family members around me were very excited.
Some of them were taking videos.
I ran the rest of the way and came in first place, so I dropped Sara.
“I’m sorry, that was so sudden.”
“No, no, it’s okay, thank you.”
“It was even more noticeable.”
“Y-yeah”
But I had forgotten in the heat of the moment.
The first place in the scavenger hunt would be announced.
The reason is simple: it’s a lot of fun at a time like now.
“Well~, that was very hot. What was the first-place winner’s topic?”
“W-Wait”
Sara said in a hurry, but she didn’t get there in time.
“The subject is… Prince.”
Sara turned red like an apple and looked down when the host said so.
Many of the people around her were saying things like “kyaaaa” and “hyuu.”
But strangely enough, although there were people who were jealous, there were no malicious voices at all.
What the heck, I’m embarrassed too.
And for some reason, Haruka was grinning like she was up to something.
Sara’s parents…well, they look at me strangely, because the subject is a prince.
“Are you okay, Aizawa?”
“Uh, yeah.”
“Your leg hurts, doesn’t it?”
“A-A little.”
“You’re kidding, right?
You can barely walk. Can I carry you again?”
Sara’s eyes were glazed over and she was in a hurry.
“Eh, N-No, no, no.”
“You don’t like it?”
“N-No, I don’t mind.”
“Then I’ll carry you.”
I carried Sara to the infirmary in my arms again.
The doctor treated her in the infirmary.
After the treatment, the doctor left and left me alone with Sara.
“Are you all right?”
“Yes, thank you.”
Sara seemed to have calmed down and was able to talk without panicking.
“But that’s pretty remarkable.”
“That’s true.”
“Aizawa’s parents looked at me strangely.”
“R-really?!”
“Yeah, I mean, why did you pick me?”
“Well, to tell you the truth, I was torn between Sano-kun and another guy.”
“Oh, it must be Kamiya.”
“Eh, How do you know?”
“Because the only boy that Aizawa is involved with is Kamiya, and you were alternately looking at me and Kamiya after you saw the subject.”
“I-I see.”
“Yeah, tell me the rest of the story.”
“I’ve been thinking about the karaoke thing, and the way you play games with me, and the way you said you wanted to be friends with me, and I thought about who would be cooler, and it was Sano kun.”
Huh? I thought Sara liked Kamiya the most out of the three, didn’t she?
This makes me feel as if…
My heart was pounding so hard when I thought about it.
“I-I see, well, I was so glad to hear you say that.”
“……”
Sara’s face was red and she was silent.
“But you know, I don’t think I deserve it.”
“Eh?”
“You said earlier that you wanted to be friends with me, but you have to understand that I want to be friends with you because you are Aizawa”
“T-That.”
Sara’s face turned even redder.
“I’ve been thinking for a while now, Aizawa, you should have more confidence in yourself.”
“I know that, but I can’t help but think that when everyone compliments me, it’s just flattery. ……”
“Hmm, from my point of view, Aizawa, she looks ridiculously cute, has a nice personality, and her hobbies match mine, and she’s a really nice woman, isn’t she?”
“Y-yes.”
Sara looked as if she was about to lose her head, but I continued.
“I don’t know if you know this, Aizawa, but Aizawa, Yano and Haruka are known as the three most beautiful women in school. You should have more confidence in yourself. I’m going to keep praising Aizawa until she gains confidence.”
I said with a big smile.
We were silent for a few minutes.
Sara took a deep breath and began to speak.
“Sano kun, you and Haruka have been getting along very well lately, haven’t you?”
“Yeah, I guess so.”
“Are you going out with her?”
“No, we are not in a relationship, but she is a very important person to me.”
“Then why are you being so nice to me?”
“Well, I’m going to tell you the truth without any false pretenses, but it’s because I think Aizawa is as important as Haruka.”
“Phfuuu”
When I said that, Sara took a big deep breath and looked like she was ready to do something.
“I’m going forward to build my confidence!”
“Yeah”
“So please call me by my name like you do Haruka-chan!”
“Of course, that’s fine, keep up the good work Sara.”
“Y-yes, I’m in your care, ah, Akuru kun”
Sara said and kissed my cheek.
“T-that’s all I can do right now!”
Sara turned bright red and was about to leave the infirmary when she almost fell down.
My body moved reflexively and I went to support her, which turned out to be a push-over situation.
I was looking at Sara’s face nearby.
“A-Akuru kun”
I heard Sara’s voice and immediately moved out of the way.
“I-I’m sorry.”
“I-It’s okay. You were trying to help me.”
“Oh, yeah?”
“Okay, I’ll go first.”
“Yeah.”
I lay down on the bed and tried to calm my heart, which was thumping like a fool.

Nice. Cliches can be good if they arent dragged and are used as a tool to get to deeper conversations faster. The start was rough but this novel quickly surprised me, I’m glad I stuck with it
