Chapter 10: Love Letter and Mounting Back

Chapter 10: Love Letter and Mounting Back

Hey, Nihama , I like you. Lets go out together.

Sakai confessed to me, and my head was in a state of great confusion.

(What do you mean? That letter was a prank, wasnt it?)

I thought it was obvious, and it just so happened that I was passing by here, the place where I was supposed to be called out, but Sakai was actually there and said that she likes me.

No way, really, seriously, Sakai is talking about me?

( No, no, no.)

The virgin thoughts crossed my mind for a moment, but my reasoning rejected them immediately.

(Ive never really talked to Sakai, and theres no sign of tension in her expressions . I dont think she really likes me.)

But I have no idea whats going on here.

( No way is this a punishment game of a forced confession? Is Sakai being bullied and ordered to confess to someone she doesnt like?)

However, I often see Sakais group in class, but they dont seem to have been bullied, and for a punishment game, her expressions dont show any pain.

Then what the hell is this ? I honestly dont understand.

Hmm, kuku.

Hmm?

Ha-ha-ha-ha! This guy is for real!

Oh, I saw it, I saw it! That was really funny!Upstodatee from n(0)/ve/lbIn/.(co/m

You have no idea how dumb you look!

Suddenly, Sakai started laughing, and then some boys and girls came out from the shadows of the school building and started giggling.

Me?, confess my love to you? No way!

( Oh, I see! This is a Lie Confession! You know, the ones you see in novels and manga!)

The situation finally made sense to me, and I clapped my hands in my mind.

Its the kind of thing where a girl makes a false confession to a dull boy, and the guys hiding in the corner enjoy watching his reaction of embarrassment and delight.

(I couldnt have predicted that someone would pull such a stupid prank in real life. I underestimated how much free time high school students have.)

No, it was a masterpiece! His face was all red when Sakai confessed to him!

No, I was just confused because Sakai suddenly confessed to me on the way to the library and it didnt make sense

Oi, Sakai, dont start laughing! I wanted to see how he would respond to your confession!

Hahaha, sorry, sorry! When I saw that he was seriously pondering his answer, I burst into laughter!

No, I was just worried that Sakai was being bullied and forced to play a punishment game, and I blinked my eyes at how meaningless the situation was, but I didnt even have a thought of answering her confession.

No, but it was really funny. That was a good show, Nihama!

Haha! It looks like you were really shocked that the confession was a lie!

(I havent said a word since a while ago, how can these guys get so excited?)

In their heads, theyre probably thinking that I was so excited about the confession, and now Im stunned to find out that its a lie, but thats not the case at all.

Hey Nihama, do you know why youre being set up?

Yeah, no, who the hell are you anyway?

What? Were in the same class, me and Sakai! Dont be stupid!

If you put it that way, Im pretty sure we were classmates.

Lets see, was it Tsuchi Tsuchi Tsuchiyama?

Im sure he was in a group of men and women with Sakai, going to karaoke and arcade and playing around the city, but to be honest, he didnt have much of an impression.

It was my idea, you know. I wanted to play with you, since youve been getting carried away lately.

Tsuchiyama said proudly for some reason.

But then again,getting carried away

Seriously, those words are really convenient.

As I thought, I was correct, and Sakai shut up with a bitter expression on her face.

Top and bottom?, arent you tired and bitter because you care too much about that stuff? The people you call lower are simply hanging out with friends they like and having a lot of fun.

.

Sakai kept her head down and didnt say anything back.

And I didnt say anything more either.

I leave, accompanied by Shijoin-san, who looks at me strangely, not understanding our concept of up and down.

That , what did Sakai-san and the others want with Nihama-kun after all?

On the way to the library, Shijoin-san asked me a natural question.

Ah, well, actually, I got a love letter from Sakai.

Eh, .

When I say that, for some reason all signs of expression disappeared from Shijoin-sans face.

Yeah, it was a prank, though. They wanted to make fun of me by seeing how excited I was over a false confession.

Whats that ? Thats something you shouldnt do as a human being! No kidding!

The good thing about Shijoin-san is that she can clearly show her righteous anger there.

The girl I love has a very pure heart.

Yeah, but now that Shijouin-san came, theyve quieted down.

Eh, , why am I the reason?

Well, that is, I guess, because youre way above the middle.

? ? ?

Shijoin-san tilted her head, as she was not familiar with the school caste system after all.

So, are you okay? Id be so scared if someone confronted me, that I d be in pain for a day.

Yeah, they said something like, Youre a gloomy nerd, but were hot enough to go out with the boys and girls often, were different but Im fine.

Huh? Well, the way they say it, are boys and girls becomes great when they go out with each other?

No, it doesnt make you great, but it will actually make people envy you and youll get more recognition.

At my explanation, Shijoin-san muttered, Oh really? ! She said in a somewhat surprised tone.

Apparently, she never had the concept that being popular was a status before.

Oh! Then I have a good idea! If the experience of going out with the opposite sex will make Nihama-kun feel less belittled and less entangled, how about going somewhere with me? Im still a girl, after all!

Haha, thanks. Id be happy to.

That s right. Im looking forward to it.

( huh?)

I had taken it as a light joke, but Shijoin-sans faint whisper reaches me.

I glanced down and saw her beautiful eyes looking up at me.

When you do, please take me somewhere nice, okay?

I blushed and froze when Shijoin-san, who looked more mature than usual, quietly said those words.

Eh, this is Shijoin, how serious are you about this?

Well then, lets get the library committee work done as quickly as possible! After that, Ill have you join me for a Light novel discussion!

While I was still flustered, Shijoin-san said this with her usual childish smile and started walking further and further towards the library.

(I cant stand it. )

She can be innocent, but she can also make you nervous by saying unexpected things like this. The more you interact with her, the more her charm is revealed.

The caste ranks in the school are silly, but the girl with the highest rank in my mind is without a doubt Shijoin-san.

Ah,, if you say a line that gives such expectations, a virgin like me will misunderstand, you know?
