Chapter 17 Part 1
High School Entrance (4) ~I want to get to know you better~
Monday, the second week after Yuu entered high school.
Today marked the beginning of the first boys and girls social event for first-year students.
It was nothing to write home about.
During the fourth period, the 36 students in the boys’ class would be divided into six groups of six each, and they would go to the girls’ classes to greet and have a conversation, starting with self-introductions, with them for about an hour.
It was a meet-and-greet-ish event where each group went around to one class per day in such a manner.
#Since there were seven girls’ classes, Class 7 (PE department) alone did not meet the boys on the first day.
Although it was just that, the male classmates could not hide their air of nervousness since the morning, and they lost more and more focus during classes as time went by.
The only one who was filled with anticipation was probably Yuu.
「H, Hirose-kun, how can you be so calm?」
「Hirose is a strange one, after all, right?」
「The heck is that, treating someone like a kind of freak.」
It was the second period break.
As usual, the ones who were talking to Yuu were Higashino Rei, who was more fidgety than usual with a pale face due to his heightened nervousness, and Yamada Masaya, who had lost his composure and had been repeatedly wiping the lenses of his glasses and smoothing his shirt out since a while ago.
「I mean, you know, I envy that composure yours.」
「You can calmly take the blazing stares from girls, after all. That’s quite a feat.」
「Nah, that’s normal, right?」
「「No, it’s not normal!」」
With such an exchange, after the third period was over, each group was led by a teacher to the first school building.
From the time they were walking down the hallway, they could already hear stirs from the girls’ classes.
The other side seemed to be restless as well.
The fifth group, which Yuu and Rei were in, would be visiting class 5 today.
As soon as they opened the door and entered the classroom, the buzz reached a climax.
「「「Oh!」」」
「「「Wow! 」」」
「「「G, great!」」」
「Everyone, take your seats!」
「What’s with that guy, isn’t he super cool?」
「I know him. Last week, when I saw him in front of the second school building and I waved to him, he waved back to me!」
「Haa, haa. The petite boy next to him is also cute. Oooh, he makes me want to push him down!」
「How great. We’ve hit the jackpot group right from the start.」
Even as the homeroom teacher and the leading teacher were telling the girls to take their respective seats, voices of appraisal of the boys who had entered the classroom were leaking out.
Unlike the other boys, who were cowering and freaking out like poor little animals brought to a predator’s nest, Yuu alone was looking around at each of the girls with a composed smile on his face.
Yup. How nice. They’re all cute girls.
At this moment, Yuu was thankful that appearance was included in the selection criteria for the girls’ entrance examination.
「Ah! It’s Hirose-kun! Do you remember me?」
A girl with a slender body and short bob raised her hand as she caught sight of Yuu.
「Hmm… I believe, you’re Hiyama-san, right? Oh, and the girl over there is….」
Yuu also recognized the braided and timid looking girl next to her.
She was the girl he ended up pushing down during the mini-game last Friday when they went to observe the basketball club.
「Ahhh, my name is Aki! T, the other day…」
「Are you okay after that? Are you injured anywhere?」
「Yesss! I, I’m fine!」
「Hahaha. That’s great.」
「Hey! Youko, Kazumi, how come you’re already acquainted with that lovely boy?」
「It’s not fair to steal a march on us, you know?!」
「Are you from the same middle school, by some chance?」
Hounded by the other girls, Aki Kazumi was as timid as usual and seemed to be unable to say anything in return, but Hiyama Youko, on the other hand, proudly puffed up her chest.
「Fufun! It doesn’t really matter, right? Though, we were just lucky. Right, especially Kazumi.」
「Hawawa! I, I guess so. We sure were lucky, weren’t we?! Ahaha… ha….」
Perhaps recalling the moment when she was pushed down by Yuu, Kazumi was getting red in the face.
Once again, they introduced themselves to each other.
Unlike his male classmates who were all nervous under the simultaneous stares of all the girls, it seemed that Yuu alone was able to speak normally.
Since there were so many girls, they would not have enough time if they made each of them show off their selling points, so they simply introduced themselves by name.
As expected, as there were more than 30 of them, he couldn’t remember them all.
So for the time being, Yuu kept it to simply checking out the particularly cute ones.
After that, it was time to ask questions to the boys lined up on the podium.
Yuu could tell that each time the boys answered the common questions, such as birthday, blood type, favorite type, future dream, etc., the girls took notes of it with as much seriousness as they had during the exam.
The last 15 minutes was free time.
The boys lined up in front of the blackboard at a little distance from each other.
And then, the girls lined up in front of the boy they were interested in, and they took turns to exchange a few words with him; such was the plan, apparently.
Especially Yuu and Rei, almost half of the girls were swarming in front of them, but as they all came forward while vying with one another, they wound up forming a circle as opposed to a line.
As far as Yuu was concerned, he did not particularly mind, but as he felt sorry for Rei, who became teary-eyed upon being suddenly surrounded by tall girls, he grabbed him by the shoulders and pulled him close to him.
「H, Hirose-kun… You saved me there.」
「It’s not a big deal. If you keep talking to them, I bet you’ll eventually get used to them.」
「I, I wonder.」
「T, this coupling is a yes! It’s crazy picture-perfect!」
「Gufufu. How precious.」
「Just by looking at them, my drool is… Slurp.」
Voices as if they were unable to hold back their emotions were leaking out from the girls who were watching the two whispering to each other.
Don’t tell me there are fujoshi in this world too?
「Hey, hey. Hirose-kun, are you coming to cheer on the basketball club?」
Smoothly moving closer to the taken aback Yuu were Youko and Kazumi.
「Are you two going to join the basketball club?」
「That’s the plan. Right, Kazumi?!」
「Y, yes. She’s right. Umm, Hirose-kun, we’d be happy if you could come to cheer on us… I guess.」
In contrast to Youko, who was as bright as the sun as her name suggested, Kazumi was reserved.
Although they were different in type, he thought they were on the cutest side among the girls in this class.
No matter what the trigger was, Yuu thought that he wanted to cherish this kind of connection.
Yu moved to get between the two.
Some of the sharp-eyed girls, who saw that opening, approached Rei and started talking to him.
My bad! Yuu apologized to him in his heart.
As he looked around not only at Youko and Kazumi, but also at the faces of the other girls surrounding him, Yuu said.
「Actually, I’ve been invited to join the student council, you see.」
「Eh! At this period when you have just entered the school?」
「Yes. Since the senior boy who used to serve as the vice president has ended up ceasing to come to school, they asked me to take his place. At present, I think it’s not a bad idea to join them.」
「Amazing.」
「They said the student council is formulating a system to send a boys cheering squad for the regular matches of sports clubs, especially important matches such as semi-finals and finals. That’s why, rather than just giving out ideas, I think I’ll also take the initiative to go and cheer on them myself.」
「「「Oh!」」」
Among the girls who were surrounding him, there were those who were clearly excited.
They were probably planning to join some sports clubs.
「In that case! I’m still a beginner, but I guess I have to do my best and secure a spot among the regular!」
「M, me too.」
When Youko struck a guts pose, Kazumi, too, resolutely clenched her small fists.
「Fufufu. Good luck.」
Casually stretching out his right hand, Yuu touched Kazumi’s buttocks.
「…!」
At the very least, everyone was standing around Yuu and staring at his face, it should be unlikely for them to find it out.
For Yuu, it was a kind of gamble.
It was without a doubt sexual harassment, but he conjected that if it was done him, a pretty boy of this world, perhaps it would be a pardonable, or even welcomed act.
Besides, if it was the timid Kazumi, he expected her to not raise her voice even if he sexually harassed her a little.
