Why Does the Prettiest Girl in School Trying to Talk to a Loner Like Me in the Break Time?

Chapter 18 – Library
TL: Cryarc
Editor: Shirani
「Ah, Andoukun,
good day. You came to the library today too?」
「Class rep, hello. Heh, didn’t class rep also come to the library during lunch
break?」
「Since I’m also a library committee member, it’s fine. But, Andoukun
is always
coming here even though you’re not a member, right?」
「Well, I have nothing to do at lunch break……」
「Then, I think you should talk or play with your friends?」

「Class rep…… Don’t you know that I’m a 『loner』?」
「That’s, of course I know?」
「Then, why did you say that……」
「As a class rep, I have to advise you to get familiar with the class.」
「Uncalledfor
meddling.」
Class rep is meddlesome as usual. She looks like a diligent class rep with braids
and glasses which seems goodnatured,
but actually her heart is quite sharp. It’s
not like she’s my type, but during lunch break we always came to the library at the
same time so it’s inevitable that we often conversed. (Andou)
「So, class rep, what are you reading?」
「It’s 『Roujo Senki』*, recently released by Bakugeki* Bunkou.」
「Aahー, that war chronicle series with quite genuine warfare in it. Class rep likes
that kind of difficult and oldfashioned
novels it seems. 」
「Well, to begin with, rather than light novels, I’m reading more of general literature
and short novel. On the other hand, Andoukun
likes fantasy and light novelish
things, right?」
「Well, I read relatively diverse books…… however nowadays I read a lot from
『Narou』 category」
「『Narou』 』 category is it~~ it’s a genre I rarely read. Ah! But, I’m interested
with 『Sonata no Shinzou wo Tabetai』 which is becoming a trending topic
recently.」

「Aah, that one! That’s quite a good book so I’ll recommend it.」
「I see…… Then, since Andoukun
is the one recommending it, will you buy it for
me?」
Andoukun,
in the beginning he’s always alone in the class so he has a gloomy
image, but now that we’re talking like this he has an unexpectedly different image.
But, if it’s about an impression of opposite sex, frankly he’s 『not』 my type. The
thing is, my type is a man like 『Red butler』!
Ah, but…… Like this, perhaps it’s a 『yes』 for a conversation partner about books
during lunch break? (Class Rep)
「Andoukun,
thank you for always telling me recommended books. If you’re
spreading your kindness to your classmates, I think even someone like you can
make friends.」
「Well, well, class rep too, thanks for the usual meddlings. If you fixed that
worthless meddlesome attitude, perhaps you can find a boyfriend at least
once.」
「Ufufu……」
「Ahaha……」
You bastard…… (Andou & Class Rep)

「………………」
Andoukun……
That girl, who is she? (Asakura)
TL Notes:
1. 『Roujo Senki』, or in Japanese 『老女戦記』 means 『Old Woman War
Chronicle』 is an obvious parody for 『Youjo Senki』 which you can read here.
2. 爆撃 which can be transliterated as Bakugeki means ‘Bombing’.
3. A new character~! But don’t worry, the heroine is still Asakurasan!
