Survivor Saijaku no Ore wa Hazure skill “Faker” de Tenshina Kanojo to S rank wo Mezasu

It also didn’t seem like she went home ahead without saying anything. Should I just go home?

I was troubled about what to do in this situation because Aoi always came to pick me up.

After that, I waited for about 10 more minutes. It was then that I heard footsteps rushing through the corridor.

“Haa, haa, haa. Rin-kun, I’m so sorry. It was really hard to slip off……”

Aoi barged into the classroom, out of breath.

“No, I don’t really mind. Still, did something happen? I was worried.”

“I am really sorry. Even though I kept saying I have things to do……”

Umm? What does this mean? Was she delayed by someone?

“Oh, were you–”

When I was about to ask the exact situation, Aoi answered in a whisper as if she was confessing her wrongdoings.

“Etto…… It’s a confession………”

“Hmm? About what?”

“No, I mean it as confession.”

“Confession?”

What does she mean by confession? I got confused at the unexpected answer, but I gradually understood the meaning.

Confession means that confession, right? So, did someone confess to Aoi?

“D-did you get confessed to!?”

“Yes…… From about four people.”

“F-four people!?”

“Yes. By saying things like I want to spend Christmas together with you or something……”

“Ah, ahhh. It’s Christmas. So, that’s why……”

Did they confess at the timing of the closing ceremony and Christmas?

Since Aoi is the idol of the school, I suppose it’s not unusual to get confessed to. Even so, four people?

I was really shaken by this unexpected event and the number of people who confessed to Aoi.

“Because of that, I couldn’t get away easily and ended up being late. I am really sorry.”

“S-so, that was the reason. Then……what were your replies?”

“Eh? Of course, I rejected them all. I made a promise with Rin-kun for Christmas after all, didn’t I?”

“Ah, ahh, yup, you~ are right.”

I was relieved to hear that Aoi rejected the confessions.

Even though it doesn’t mean Aoi likes me just because she refused the confessions……

I might be seriously ill, perhaps.

“Ahh, then, shall we go? Still, to think four people have confessed… It is amazing. Are things around Aoi always like this?”

“No. Usually, it is just once in a while. Only at times like Christmas or Valentine’s Day, it becomes like this……”

“Is…is that so? As expected, Aoi really is popular.”

How popular is she to be confessed by multiple people at every event? I knew that Aoi was popular, but I never thought it would be to this extent.

As the two of us walked side by side to the school gate, a guy standing at the school gate came running from ahead.

“Wakaba-san! May I have a little of your time?”

The male student stood in front of us and called out to—of course—Aoi, not me. Though he was an unfamiliar guy, he was somewhat good-looking if looked closely. Adding to the fact that he had a tall and slender build, he also seemed popular as far as I could see.

“Sorry, now is a little difficult……”

“Since it won’t take too long, why don’t we go to a cafe somewhere?”

Seriously……?

Even though I was next to Aoi, I was completely ignored. Is this guy seriously planning to go to the cafe with Aoi by leaving me alone?

Don’t tell me, he can’t see……me? No, that is impossible at this distance.

“I am sorry. I already have plans for today.”

“Wakaba-san, could you somehow free your schedule for me today? I’ll give you the best Christmas.”

“No, I’m fine. My schedule for today is already filled with Rin-kun, so I am sorry.”

“Rin-kun? Who is Rin-kun? Although it is unlikely, it surely is not this guy, right?”

Ahh. So, he can see me after all.
