Chapter 121: Watching confessions, the protagonist is cut
After finishing lunch with Rias and the others.
Eiji originally thought of visiting Sona and the girls in the student council, but the lunch hour was over. In addition, after being asked by cell phone, Sona said she was busy with her student council work lately.
After the Sports Festival ended a few days ago, the student council also still had other things to do.
Kuoh High School or commonly called Kuoh Gakuen.
As one of the top two high schools in Japan, Kuoh Gakuen is located at the northern end of Kuoh city, covering an area of 1,500 hectares, and the construction of the school buildings and facilities is very luxurious.
Unlike Rias who seemed to have unlimited free time, cough. Sona who is the student council president at this school takes care of almost everything such as leading and managing the school.
Although there was also a principal named "Mr. Babel", he was nothing more than a security guard or supervisor placed by Rias' father from the House of Gremory. Eiji had never met the principal, and he had no interest in taking the initiative to meet a man.
So the point was that not only was she serving as Student Council President, Sona was also actually doing the things that the Principal did. There were two rulers behind this school, it was Sona and Rias, but compared to Rias, it was actually Sona who took on the task of managing this school. As for Rias? That girl wasn't idle, she actually took on other duties such as being the supervisor of Kuoh City.
They divided the work, unlike Sona who was in charge of managing the school. Rias took the part of being the city watchdog where she and her peerage often patrolled Kuoh City after school to see if there were any illegal supernatural activities in their area. If there was, Rias and her peerage would take care of the matter.
Eiji certainly didn't bother his busy fiancée after learning of the situation, he was now walking through the school hallways, passing by every club, planning to come to the service club after school hours.
It's just that, coincidentally when he was about to pass the back area of the gymnasium, from the side, he saw a familiar black-haired girl standing with her arms folded and staring coldly at a rather handsome boy.
The scene was like a boy wanting to confess to a girl.
Putting aside the boy who he himself didn't know who it was, but the girl...
It's Yukino...!
And actually not far from there, behind a certain wall, he could see the protagonist Hachiman who seemed to be watching with a hint of worry on his face. It seemed that the boy didn't care whether Yukino received a confession or not, he stayed quietly there just in case something bad happened.
After all Yukino's current situation was her, the girl seemed to have been called to the back of the gymnasium and there it was of course very quiet.
The proud peacock-like girl seemed to have no sense of danger and actually came here with a letter that she threw to the boy in front of her.
"Next time, don't put things like love letters or whatever in my locker." Yukino said with coldness and a hint of disgust in her voice.
"That... Yukinoshita-san, did you read it? I actually like you, please date me!" The boy caught the love letter that was thrown at him and stared at Yukino confidently, he seemed blind to realize Yukino's expression that was even disgusted at his confession of love.
The boy must have considered himself quite popular among girls and felt that a girl like Yukino would accept his confession just because he was a bit handsome.
Eiji was actually a little surprised, he was a little surprised because this plot didn't exist in the original work at all, right? But just looking at the plot unfolding in front of him, he had a few guesses in his mind.
For example Hachiman, in this plot he would probably help Yukino when the rejected boy started making trouble like harassing Yukino or something.
Once that happens, Yukino's liking for Hachiman that was initially lowered will increase again and is no worse than a girl in love.
Eiji clucked his tongue, something like this could still happen? Is this some kind of butterfly effect because I joined the service club? Protagonist Hachiman, you also have a plot to become a hero who saves beauty? This is wrong!
However, he didn't panic.
"Dating you? Are you crazy? I don't even know you, of course I refuse."
Yukino ruthlessly rejected the overconfident boy's confession.
"Don't rush to reject me. My name is Daichi. I'm a 2G student who shares a class with you, Yukinoshita-san. How could you not know me?"
"....." Yukino looked confused for a moment. Well the girl had no friends, she never even bothered to remember the names of her classmates.
So um... Daichi, from the start you were like a stranger to Yukino even though you were in the same class as her. Pathetic.
And the hiding Hachiman looked relieved when he heard Yukino reject the boy's confession. What? Don't tell me you actually like Yukino yet you yourself haven't realized your feelings and are relieved that the girl you like is still single like you? As expected of a romcom protagonist.
They're so slow about love. Gosh, don't blame me for cutting off your chance, okay?
Eiji grinned, he saw Yukino snort.
"So what? You're not my taste. I don't like you."
"Y-You rejected me, Yukinoshita-san?"
"Did I not say it clearly? Don't think just because you like me, I'll suddenly like you and reciprocate your feelings. You're overconfident, just like someone."
Was it just him or was Yukino being sarcastic? Eiji widened his eyes. No, that girl must be talking about someone else. Not me.
?{.....}
Pretty sure the person Yukino was talking about matched the characteristics of her host.
But Miss System remained silent and watched the drama quietly. There was also popcorn in her hand if someone saw her at this moment.
The boy named Daichi's face darkened, he was not happy with Yukino's rejection, he tried to maintain his smile, but it failed because the girl he liked rejected him cruelly.
"I understand."
"That's good. I'll go now."
Yukino turned around, she was in a very bad mood today. It was actually not the first time someone in school confessed to her. Before that boy, there were also a few other boys in the past that she of course rejected.
Yukino didn't understand why many high school teenagers often did stupid things like sending love letters or confessing to someone when both parties didn't even know each other well before.
Instead of love, aren't those people just greedy with her body? As for first sight love? Yukino didn't believe in that nonsense obviously people like Daichi only lusted after her body.
"You've broken that boy's hand. Will it be alright, Eiji-kun?"
She glanced at the silver-haired boy, unlike the cold gaze he often gave, this time the gaze was not so cold but seemed a little complicated when looking at him.
Eiji glanced at the girl, he sighed because this girl didn't call him like before! Although now it's better because she doesn't mind being called by her first name. However if it's protagonist, you will definitely fall in love without you even realizing it, but when it's me? It just makes you no longer hate me and increases your liking points for me by a few points.
Damn it. Is the halo harem broken? That thing can't seem to compete with the romcom protagonist's halo!
"It's okay. Didn't that boy try to do something bad to you? I smell dope from his handkerchief."
"You know the smell of anesthetic? Eiji-kun, have you ever used it?"
"No, Yukino. You're too suspicious of me, right?"
Yukino gave him a faint smile for the first time and said sincerely, "I was just joking... Thank you for saving me, Eiji-kun. If it wasn't for you, I know I would have had a bad time."
[You're joking? Yukino, you know how to joke?!]
You're surprised because of that?!
Yukino widened her eyes slightly. Something was wrong with this boy. What exactly is the image of her in his mind?
If Yukino knew, she would be surprised because even right now, Eiji was imagining herself wearing a bunny girl outfit while kneeling with a cold face full of contempt.
Eiji scratched the back of his head slightly, his gaze avoiding her as if he was embarrassed.
Hmm...?
What's wrong with this boy, is he really embarrassed to receive her thanks?!
Yukino found it a little funny.
Eiji didn't seem as bad as the first time she saw him.
Maybe she was too prejudiced against him from the start?
"Well you're welcome. Next time, you shouldn't really come to a place like this alone."
"I know. But Eiji-kun, why aren't you looking at me? Are you embarrassed?"
"Huh? Yukino, what nonsense are you talking about?!"
Eiji turned his head, he looked at her with raised eyebrows and a serious expression that looked a bit stiff.
Yukino's lips trembled, she tried to hold back her laughter. But she couldn't and in the end she laughed while covering her mouth.
[This girl... Maybe I shouldn't have saved her before? Who are you calling embarrassed? Do you think this big guy is embarrassed just because of your thanks?]
Oh, so it's not? Yukino wondered if she misunderstood?
[Actually, it's true.]
"...."
[Seeing Yukino's smile for the first time makes me a little embarrassed because it's too pretty, right?]
"!!!"
What?
Although many men had called her beautiful, hearing such a thing from someone's inner voice somehow embarrassed her.
Yukino felt that her face was a bit hot, from other people's point of view, the normally cold girl's face blushed and looked very cute.
The corner of Eiji's lips lifted slightly. As expected of me. My acting skills are very good.
He thought he could get a few more favorability points from Yukino, but at this moment an annoying person appeared.
This person still hasn't gone somewhere else?
"Eiji! Yukino! Are you guys okay? It looks like you guys are having trouble. Who's that boy who fainted?"
You're pretending not to know even though you've been watching all along? Sorry protagonist, I've cut the moment of the hero saving your beauty.
You must have felt uncomfortable when you saw me flirting with Yukino, right? Your expression and dead fish eyes looked a little grim. That's why you came to us instead of going straight to the club with that personality of yours.
"Hachiman? We're fine. There's just a little problem."
Yukino looked a little surprised with Hachiman suddenly coming over as well, she gave the boy an even better faint smile.
Seriously, Yukino. What good is that boy?
