It's a romantic comedy for everyone, so why am I the only one single?

If it weren't for Sengoku Sho's status as student council president, he might have been bullied.

However, the speaker has no intention, but the listener has intention.

Hearing Iura Hide's envious sigh, Kono Sakura involuntarily stiffened, and the light in her eyes instantly dimmed.

"Yes, most boys would probably like a lively, cute, energetic girl like Reimi, who can be charming and adorable, and sometimes even a little bit mischievous."

Thinking of this, Kono Sakura couldn't help but look at Mashiro again.

Although Mashiro doesn't quite fit the descriptions of 'lively' or 'energetic', she is at least slightly better looking than Ayasaki Remi.

This made Kono Sakura sigh softly once again.

However, she quickly regained her composure, went to the long table used for meetings, pointed to the stack of file boxes that were more than 30 centimeters high, and said to Iura Hide, "These are all the club member rosters you wanted."

Upon hearing this, Iura Hide gasped, a look of astonishment on his face.

Wow! So many!? Does our school have that many clubs?

"There are quite a lot, because there is no limit to the number of clubs each person can sign up for, so there are currently 93 registered clubs across the school."

Iura Hide was once again taken aback upon hearing this.

93! ?

Are you serious?!

This club culture is just too rich!

However, considering that their school has nearly a thousand students and 93 clubs, it doesn't seem like that many.

One thousand divided by 93, that's an average of more than ten people in each club.

In reality, many clubs, such as the art club, only have three registered members.

However, the men's and women's baseball clubs, men's and women's basketball clubs, soccer clubs, and karate clubs all have more than 20 members.

In addition, there are track and field, swimming, tennis, drama, photography, choir, street dance, classical literature, mystery and suspense, archery, kendo, tea ceremony, cycling, shogi, and Go clubs, among others.

The number of 93 clubs is acceptable.

It's worth mentioning that although their school doesn't have a comics department, their art department is also quite weak.

However, it has an Anime Club and a Video Game Club. The activities of these two clubs are watching anime and playing games together, and discussing anime and games as well.

As for high-end operations like creating anime and games by hand, that's none of their business.

With so many clubs, his workload has increased considerably compared to what he originally expected.

"do you need my help?"

Kono Sakura's comforting voice rang out at that moment, like a gentle breeze blowing in from outside the window, making Iura Hide somewhat tempted.

But then he shook his head.

"No need, I can do it myself."

Regardless of whether Kanda Sorata and the others actually exist, it's not appropriate for him to let others know.

Kono Sakura didn't say anything more, smiled, sat back down at her desk, picked up the novel on the table, and continued reading with great interest.

Yes, despite her seemingly mature and old-fashioned appearance, she is actually a light novel enthusiast.

On the other side, Mashiro, like a lazy orange cat that had just eaten and drunk her fill, leaned against the table and quickly fell asleep.

For a moment, the bright and tidy office was filled only with the soft yet rapid rustling of Iura Hide turning the pages.

Half an hour later, Kono Sakura's usual phone alarm suddenly went off, and Iura Hideya just then let out a long sigh, stopped, and stretched vigorously.

"Sorry, did I disturb you?"

"No, I just finished watching it too~"

Iura Hide smiled and said to Kono Sakura, his mood clearly much better than before.

This is understandable, since neither Misaki Kamiigusa, who had high hopes for him and possessed superb drawing and animation skills, nor Ryunosuke Akasaka, a genius programmer, existed.

However, since Jin Mitaka and Sorata Kanda are also not present, it's generally good news.

Just when he thought that no other characters besides Chihiro Sengoku and Mashiro existed, he unexpectedly discovered the name of Nanami Aoyama.

At first, he suspected it might be a case of the same name, since the other main characters didn't exist, and this Aoyama Nanami was a first-year student, one year below Mashiro, who had just transferred there.

However, after seeing that Aoyama Nanami's hometown was in Kansai, and that her profile picture showed a pretty girl with a ponytail, and that there was another girl in her class named Takasaki Mayu, he figured that this was most likely Aoyama Nanami from Sakura-sou.

He then saw the name Saori Himegami in the classical music club.

A figure with short, soft hair, a slender figure, and delicate features immediately came to mind.

Since they were both second-year students, and Saori Himegami usually liked to wear headphones, he had some impression of this girl in his memory.

At this moment, it was noted on the roster that this Saori Himegami had won third place in the National Piano Competition when she was a first-year high school student last year.

It must be Saori Himegami from Sakura-sou, who is skilled in piano and violin.

Of course, it didn't matter to him whether it was Aoyama Nanami or Himegami Saori, as long as Kanda Sorata didn't exist.

However, after seeing Saori Himegami's record of winning third place in the National Piano Competition, he suddenly thought of the theme song of "April" and the piano interludes in it.

His own piano skills are so poor that he can barely even play the theme song, let alone the high-level piano interludes in the show.

But if it's Saori Himemiya, who's ranked 'third in the national high school division', then it should be a breeze, right?

"I'll ask her about it after I finish the sheet music for Class 7 in the second grade."

Make a note of this for now, and then Iura Hide reorganizes the club member roster and puts it back in the file box while turning to wake Mashiro up.

"Get up, Shiro, time for class."

Because he was afraid of scaring Mashiro, Iura Hide didn't use a loud voice and spoke very gently.

However, Mashiro, who hadn't been woken up by the alarm clock before, woke up this time. Her eyes, still a little groggy, looked towards him in the direction of the sound. After taking about two seconds to confirm that it was him, she, just like the previous times, swayed her head and fell towards him, and her hands very skillfully wrapped around his neck.

It's like a cat jumping onto its owner's lap for a hug, its whole body nestled in his arms.

"???"

The air seemed to freeze instantly; for a moment, even the wind blowing in from outside the window seemed to stop flowing.

Iura Shu's breath hitched, and his body tensed involuntarily.

If it were just him and Mashiro, it wouldn't be a problem, but there are other people around!

Kono Sakura, who was about to come over to help, was stunned when she saw this scene. Her dark green eyes were filled with disbelief.

"how so!?"

Are they already dating?

"But this is too fast!"

"Didn't Shiina just come to Japan from Japan?"

"But if they weren't dating, why would they do something so intimate?!"

""

Countless thoughts flashed through her mind in an instant, almost overloading Kono Sakura's usually sharp brain. She only calmed down when Iura Hide turned to look at her with a dry laugh.

"that--"

"I know, Shiina-kun is probably still half asleep."

Kono Sakura gave a somewhat stiff smile and offered an explanation that seemed perfectly reasonable, which made Iura Hide breathe a slight sigh of relief.

"Yeah, that's right."

After saying that, Iura Shu quickly called out to Mashiro, who was still dazed in his arms.

To be honest, if it weren't for the existence of Kitagawa Kaimu and Kotori, he would have simply admitted that he and Mashiro were dating.

Even if Mashiro doesn't even know what liking or dating means right now, she only gets close to him because of Chihiro's request.

The relationship between the two is probably like that of a cat and its owner. If Chihiro were to entrust Mashiro to someone else's care, Mashiro would also become close to that person.

It's like cats don't care who their human is; they wouldn't mind if they had a different human.

As long as her owner takes good care of her, she will be close to that owner, which is completely different from the loyalty of a dog.

it's fine.

Since he's not going to give Mashiro up to anyone else anyway, he can just keep her as his boyfriend under the guise of dating and then slowly train and cultivate their relationship.

However, since Kitagawa Kaimu and Kotoko are also very good, especially Kitagawa Kaimu, whose looks alone are enough to seduce him, it's really hard for him to choose.

"Class is about to start, let's hurry back to the classroom!"

Please recommend, please continue reading, please vote with monthly tickets.

Chapter 42 An irresistible request

I don't know if it's because he usually acts too harmless, but he's popular with girls and there's never any overly intimate behavior between him.

Whether it was pulling a drowsy Mashiro into the classroom during the afternoon class or walking home together after school, everyone thought it was normal.

Especially with the added layer of 'teacher's instructions,' no one suspected anything shady between him and Mashiro.

Even when greeting someone, no one asks a single question.

This left Hideaki Iura unsure whether to be happy or upset.

However, the first day of taking care of Mashiro at school ended smoothly.

"We go home!"

"Oh"

"I'll take you home first, then I need to work at the convenience store. I'll cook dinner for you after I finish work."

Mashiro responded softly.

Perhaps because she had slept almost all day, the drowsiness that usually enveloped her was much less than usual, and her ruby-colored eyes seemed brighter than usual.

"What about learning to draw?" Mashiro turned her head to look at him and asked softly.
