Episode 41 – I Shouldn’t Be Spending Time With Beauties…..

“Well, so the continuation of the story from this morning…”

After PE class, I continued my morning conversation with Genpaku. That’s right, I want to consult about the counterplan on the delinquents’ revenge. However Genpaku was…..

“Ohh, are you saying that you’re not popular even though you’re popular? That’s amazing〜.”

“Wha- ! ! I’m not that self-conscious ! ! Besides, you’re more popular, right?”

“That again〜 so humble〜 ! ! even though you’re on good terms with Miuchi san.”

I feel a slight sense of murderous intent towards Genpaku, who teased me without knowing other people’s feeling, but i didn’t want that to be the topic of discussion. So I let Genpaku’s words slide away and get to the main topic.

“Well, okay…. Regarding the issues related to the delinquents recently, I’m sure that they will definitely get me and Miuchi san involved from now on, so I’m worried about that ….”

After listening to what I said, Genpaku’s expression turned into a serious one.

“If it’s just me, I can deal with as many people as I want, but if Miuchi san herself got assaulted, it’s tough, right? So I was wondering what I should do.”

“Hm, I’m sure it would be a problem if your girlfriend was attacked, right?”

Genpaku poked my arm with a smirk.

“Like I said, she’s just my childhood friend ! ! besides, my step sister, my childhood friend, and the others are all good looking, so they’re probably becoming easy targets, so I’m just worried about them as a close friend.”

“Well, surely because she’s one the most beautiful girls in class〜. I understand why you’re worried. Well well, they’re gathering around you.”

As he said that, he started thinking about something.

“I don’t see how it’s any of my business? Idol sama is a person that nobody can reach.”

I continued to talk while ignoring Genpaku who was thinking.

When it comes to my step sister and my childhood friend, it’s hard to say that they’re unrelated.

However, regarding Idol sama, I have no connection with her.

If I have, it’s because she’s friends with my step sister.

However, I don’t why but she kept looking at me (I think).

And then, there were times when she looked somewhat familiar.

….Have I met her somewhere before? 

I look for reasons on why Idol sama cares about me.

If we had met a long time ago, I would’ve noticed it right away.

With a beauty like her, it would be hard to forget her.

However, I don’t recognize her….

That’s why, I’m bewildered by Idol sama’s behavior.

“Yosh, it’s been decided ! ! you, go out with me ! !”

While I was thinking, Genpaku said something out of the blue.

I was taken aback by those words.

….What the hell is he saying ! !

“N-no, I must decline. I’m straight….”

As I was confused by Genpaku’s words, I replied to him back.

I’ll say it again and again, I’m straight ! ! (cry of the heart).

“Sigh, what are you talking about? Today after school, I asked you to go out with me. Let’s go to karaoke〜! !”

Despite my confusion, Genpaku enthusiastically invited me to karaoke.

“K-karaoke !? Why ! !”

While feeling embarrassed when I reacted to the courageous proposal and my misunderstanding, Genpaku gave a nasty smile.

“I have something to think about. Also, can you bring along Miuchi san and Kaizei san?”

“Why is that ! ! Putting aside Miuchi san, I don’t think my step sister will come. That girl really hates me….”

I remembered many things that my step sister told me.

I felt like her abusive words have decreased recently, but there’s no way she’ll accept my invitation.

“Is that so? Then, I’ll be the one who invites her, so can I entrust Miuchi san to you?”

“Got it. I’m just going to ask her. There’s no guarantee that she’ll come tho ….”

When I answered with a lack of confidence, Genpaku moved his face close to mine.

“No, you definitely have to bring her ! ! It’s about you guys’ involvement from now on ! !”

“G-got it.”

As I lost to Genpaku’s forcefulness, I nodded while backing away.

We returned to the classroom to check on my step sister and my childhood friend.

And, they were talking to Idol sama and the gyaru.

Even though I felt relieved to know that Asu was with my step sister, I hesitated to walk towards them, then Genpaku, who couldn’t watch it anymore, pushed my back.

As my back was pushed, I stood in front of them while crouching.

When the girls saw that, they stopped talking and turned their eyes towards me.

My step sister averted her eyes from me, Idol sama looked confused, and the gyaru, she looked at me with suspicion for some reason.

I was flustered by the girls’ gaze and I fell into a state of suspicious behavior.

“…..What’s wrong, Rikkun?”

My childhood friend looked at me with a dumbfounded expression and asked me.

When I heard that voice, the other three gazes turned to my childhood friend at once.

Moreover, they had a surprised look ! !

“No, after school I want you to hang out with me, Miuchi san, but….”

At those words, as my childhood friend’s face turned bright red, she said [y-yes  ! ! i awiaidjdweuh…..] but I couldn’t hear the last part very well.

At my words, My step sister slumped her shoulders weakly, Idol sama changed her expression into despair, and the gyaru gave me a sharp gaze.

I was confused by the girl’s state of mind, except for my childhood friend, but I was relieved that I was able to invite her. The only thing that’s left is my formidable enemy, my step sister…..

“Thank god… Also, I want Sora to come too, but…”

When I called out my step sister nervously, the atmosphere completely changed more and more strange.

My step sister froze at my words, and my childhood friend’s blushed face changed into dumbfounded, she said [huh?] and Idol sama expression becoming more and more desperate, lastly, the gyaru clenched her fists.

“W-why should I? Why do I have to go with you ! !”

As if she was sensing the strange atmosphere, my step sister questioned me.

“N-no wait. It’s just Genpaku has something to do with you guys….”

When I talked about Genpaku, my step sister looked at me with an uncomfortable face.

“Then, no ! ! Why should I go with you and Kuroyama san? You too, Asuka ! !”

While glaring at me, my step sister grabbed my childhood friend’s shoulder and said [Right?].

Then, my childhood friend said [No, I’m going because Rikkun called me…], as she said that, my step sister had an unbelievable expression on her face, and she seemed to think about it for a while.

“A-alright ! ! it’s fine if i just go, alright? Okay ! !”

For some reason, my step sister seemed to have turned her previous statement upside down and decided to come with me.

“Um…., Kaizei kun. Can we go with you too?”

Idol sama, who lost the sparkle in her eyes, held the gyaru by her shoulder and asked me if they could go with me. The hyaru said [What !?] at Idol sama’s statement.

….Why? While thinking about that, I asked Genpaku for permission.

“Hmm, I think it’s okay? It saves a lot of time.”

…..Time?

Without knowing what Genpaku meant, I ended up going to karaoke with three most beautiful girls in class (plus extra).
