Chapter 875 Is he your ex?

Chapter 875 Is he your ex?　　If not for being in the front of the whole class as well as maintaining her gyaru front, Chii would probably jump at me just like a certain koala. She stopped a step before reaching me and slightly bent her body forward, looking up at me with puppy eyes.

Seeing her like this, my hand moved on its own to pat her head. And upon feeling my hand on her head, the girl smiled beautifully as she relished the moment by grabbing that hand and moving it herself to ruffle her hair.

From the back, Fukuda, who looked like time stopped for him, was stuck staring at us with a stone-cold expression.

My girls, on the other hand, had varying reactions. Satsuki with her signature glare. Aya with her dreamy look as though she’s imagining herself in Chii’s place. Nami had her arms crossed as she smiled meaningfully. Hina’s eyebrows were raised, and her competitive spirit was on display. And lastly, Saki had her mouth gaped open before her lips slowly puckered.

When I saw that, I got the urge to also pat their heads one by one and see what kind of reaction they would make. However, that would be too daring and obvious.

I mean, doing this with Chii was already pushing it.

And that was evident with the murmurs that are now filling our classroom.

As for our classmates watching the scene, they began exclaiming from their seats.

“Eh? What’s that? Did Onoda tame our resident gyaru?”

“It seems so. Look at her peaceful face. Is that really Harada?”

“I know they’re close but this… is she actually Onoda’s side girl?”

“Impossible. Isn’t Onoda already taken?”

“That’s the rumor. But could it be that his girlfriend is Harada…?”

Upon hearing all that, Chii who was savoring the moment suddenly opened her eyes. As if she got hit by thunder, she quickly straightened her back and acted as though nothing happened as she addressed me in her normal gyaru way of talking.

“Oh~ Onoda-chi. Good timing! Mio-pyon here asked me if we can do a last-minute review session for tomorrow. You up for it?”

Even with her cheeks red from slight embarrassment, Chii never stuttered as she even presented our Class President who’s among our classmates that became speechless at what she’s seeing.

But Mio-pyon? That’s a cute nickname that’s somehow unfit with our diligent president.

“H-harada-san. I believe I only invited you and your friends.” Kanzaki hurriedly stood up from her seat and shouted. Instead of Chii, she’s the one who stuttered.

Moreover, I could notice how she was stealthily looking at my reaction… She’s not being honest, huh? She’s also fine with that nickname… What’s wrong with this girl?

In any case, with Kanzaki raising her voice like that, the attention that was entirely focused on us transferred to the girl. Even the baseball guy at the back who was among the few that didn’t react earlier perked his ears up.

“You’re totally right! And Onoda-chi here is also my friend. You get me, Mio-pyon?”

“… I-I see. I suppose Onoda-kun can join us.” Contrary to how she shouted moments ago, her voice this time came like a mumble that only those nearby heard her. She fixed her pair of glasses that were on the verge of falling off her face before sitting back down.

“There. There, what do you think? Will you say yes, Onoda-chi?”

Chii turned towards me again, grinning in satisfaction with how successful her diversion became.

“Well, she can join us later. I mean, I’m more intrigued as to why she’s refraining from joining us when we’re joining up our desks to review together.”

Kanzaki joined us in that group study at Satsuki’s House back then but soon after that, she started becoming strangely distant. Her suspicion of my relationship with Satsuki could be an explanation but who knows what’s really going on in her head?

There’s also that instance when I chanced upon her with her possible ex-boyfriend.

“Hear that, Mio-pyon? Come and join us later.”

“O-okay, I will.”

With that as the end of the conversation, Chii quickly made her way back to her seat, ignoring the curious eyes that followed her.

Likewise, I stared at Kanzaki for a moment until I got a small nod from her before returning to my seat. I was already uninterested in Fukuda or that baseball guy’s reaction. It would just be a waste of a few seconds. I could use that time to admire or flirt with my girls.

Fortunately, the bell rang at that moment which made the continuous whispers die down.

And the same as earlier, we were made to review by ourselves for the rest of the day.

Kanzaki joined us as planned. And instead of being overwhelmed by my girls’ questioning gazes, she helped those who were having trouble.

I guess her addition became rather beneficial to us.

But as I expected, favoring Chii earlier made my girls make their own moves. Stealthily.

At one point, Satsuki pushed her chair close to me and asked me to help her with a problem. But instead of focusing on that, the girl boldly placed her hand on my thighs before moving upwards and settling on my crotch. The girl rubbed that part of me as though she wanted me to get a hard-on.

She’s successful. Obviously.

And when she noticed that, she stuck her tongue out before pulling her hand away and going back to her previous position.

Aya’s approach was a little mild. The girl also pushed her chair closer but instead of asking me to help her, she was the one who helped me and as though it’s a natural thing to do, she leaned closer and rested her back on my chest while she was solving something in my notebook.

When she returned to her previous position, the girl was giggling in satisfaction.

As for Nami, Hina and Saki, they made their move on the next period as they called me to sit between them.

I had no idea if someone noticed all that because I put my entire focus on them. But considering even Sakuma never said something comical or intriguing. We’re probably.

In the last few minutes before the end of the 7th period, I found myself next to Kanzaki. Although not as close as I was with my girls, I could smell her rather enchanting fragrance. And yep, that’s the first time she exuded that kind of smell as though she had just changed her perfume or she had just started wearing cologne.

In any case, I kept my head straight and tried to learn from her.

“Onoda-kun. Are you listening? You should use this formula here. And not there… I thought you'd already done this topic earlier? What happened?” With a slightly reprimanding tone, Kanzaki brought me back to my senses.

I guess I was still distracted by her fragrance, huh? Furthermore, even if I didn’t lift my head to check, I could feel stabbing gazes from my girls…

Kanzaki isn’t one of them… That’s why seeing me close to her was giving them more sense of jealousy than seeing me with another one of my girls…

Not only that, in the direction where the baseball guy was studying with his desk neighbors, another intense glare was stabbing my back.

No doubt. He’s jealous that I’m close to Kanzaki.

“Uh. Sorry. My mind is floating. By the way, Kanzaki, is Miyoshi your ex?” I scratched my head first before leaning closer to the girl before whispering that question.
