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

"Okay, I'll go ask the teacher for leave during the break next class!"

As Kasumigaoka Utaha entered the classroom, she first glanced at the noisy classmates, then looked back at Eriri, who was still chattering incessantly behind her, and made a decision in her heart.

At the same time, as if by telepathy, Iura Hide, who had just parted ways with Hori Kyoko and returned to his seat, also yawned vigorously while looking at the messy classroom, and the same thought popped into his mind.

However, his is different from Kasumigaoka Utaha's.

He's not like Kasumigaoka Utaha, whose grades are always at the top of the class. If he asks for leave, the teacher will definitely question him and then contact his parents.

While Hisako Iura is considered relatively open-minded, it would certainly be unreasonable for her to ask for leave under the pretext of "being too tired from writing a novel all night and wanting to go home to catch up on sleep."

Moreover, he had some things to take care of at school, so he had no choice but to give up the idea.

"There's a club activity at noon, remember to come to the club activity room."

With two minutes left before class, Iura Hide took out his phone and sent a message to Pochi-chan.

Another classroom downstairs, belonging to the first graders

"I understand. How could I possibly expect someone to come and talk to me?"

Boqi-chan, who was originally slumped on the table listlessly, muttering to herself as if she wished the school would just explode, was startled when she felt her phone suddenly vibrate in her pocket. She was startled for a moment, then her eyebrows rose, her eyes widened, and she instantly showed a look of surprise.

Throughout all these years, besides her family, there's only one person's contact information in her phone!

"Are you a senior?"

With a hand speed even faster than when she plays the guitar, Boqi quickly took her phone out of her pocket, unlocked the screen, and opened the message.

When she saw that Iura Shu asked her to go to the club activity room at noon, she probably would have screamed with joy if she weren't so socially anxious.

Don't ask why, the answer is simply that her love for the Light Music Club is too passionate and too profound!

"Oh right, hurry up and reply to your senior's message!"

She stood there excitedly for several seconds, attracting strange looks from her classmates, before she finally snapped out of it and hurriedly picked up her phone to reply to Iura Hide.

However, it was precisely this strange behavior that finally reminded some people of Pochi-chan's existence, and also reminded them of...

"Huh? Goto-san seems to have joined Iura-senpai's light music club too?"

"Eh? Really?"

"Oh right! Goto Doku! That's the name of the band that Iura-senpai formed!"

"real or fake?"

"Look if you don't believe me!"

The person who spoke immediately took out his phone, opened it, and went through the personal homepage of the band Wanli Yangguang. Sure enough, he found Boqi-chan's name under Iura Hide and Hoshino Ai.

"It really is true!"

"A guitarist? Goto-kun is that cool?"

Both of them showed expressions of surprise, but...

"Should we go and chat up Goto-kun?"

"Eh, let's just forget about it?"

"Well, then let's forget about it."

Remembering Bochi's strange appearance just now, and her usual 'weird' behavior, the two hesitated for a moment before decisively giving up the idea of ​​talking to Bochi.

Fortunately, Pochi-chan didn't know what was happening here, otherwise it would be hard to say whether she should be happy or upset.

What's wrong with her? She's perfectly normal!

Iura Shu even praised her for being cute!

snort!

"Yeah! I know!"

Boqi wrote and deleted, deleted and wrote again, revising it more than ten times, until she was a little dizzy from all the revisions, before finally clicking send.

This prompted Hideaki Iura on the other side to reveal a helpless smile.

He was almost asleep while waiting!

However, upon seeing this incredibly simple message, the iconic scene of Pochi's ahoge (cowlick) twitching inexplicably popped into his head, and he couldn't help but laugh again.

"By the way, does this guy, like in the original story, hide away in some deserted corner to eat his lunch every day at noon?"

"It's time to give her some training. Otherwise, when the band is formed and they go on stage to perform, we can't just put a cardboard box next to her and let her hide inside, like in anime, can we?"

This kind of silly behavior is quite amusing to watch, but if it happened to him and Hoshino Ai, it would obviously not be funny.

Thinking of this, Iura Hide immediately sent her another message.

"You're alone at noon, right? Then come find me after the fourth period, and we'll have lunch together."

Knowing Bochi's personality, Iura Hide didn't consult her and spoke directly in a slightly forceful tone.

Then, Boqi-chan, who was still holding her phone, fantasizing about what would happen in the club activity room at noon, with a silly grin on her face and drool glistening at the corner of her mouth, froze for a moment, then jumped up, her azure eyes lighting up with golden crosses.

"Hey, he invited me to lunch!?"

"My God!"

"is this real?"

"Am I dreaming?!"

Although I had just eaten soup curry with Hide Iura in Shimokitazawa over the weekend, it was just a casual meal after finishing recording a song, and it was obviously different from when I specially invited her at school.

Furthermore, given Iura Hide's current fame, how much attention would she receive if she had lunch with him?

"I...I...I...Can I really do it?"

"Being watched by so many people is terrifying; I'm not prepared for that."

"Should we just refuse?"

"But if I refuse, my senior will definitely be unhappy, right?"

"Oh dear, my senior is so good to me, he even took someone like me into a band, how could I possibly make him angry!"

""

At this moment, Pochi-chan seemed to have been hit by the legendary arrow of chaos, her mind was a complete mess, her face was red, and her head was almost steaming.

In contrast, the teacher on the podium had a black line on his forehead and even had a number sticking out from his forehead.

"Goto-san!"

"Hey! Goto-kun!"

"Please pay attention in class!"

Even if you don't want to listen to the lecture, please don't disturb others!!!

Amidst a series of suppressed, angry reprimands, poor Pochi finally snapped out of it, then wished she could turn into a paramecium and disappear into the ground.

"Ahhh-"

"How embarrassing!"

Boqi's cheeks grew increasingly hot, and she almost buried her head in her chest.

However, after sitting back down in her seat amidst everyone's laughter and stares, she immediately took out her phone and replied to Iura Hide's message.

What if Iura Hide thinks she's trying to refuse because she's slow to reply?

After replying to the message, she couldn't help but imagine and simulate all the possible scenarios in her mind, including how to move around after class so as to get to Iura Hide's classroom as quickly as possible.

This even includes what she would do if Hideki Iura tried to take her hand and lead her to a secluded corner of the courtyard.

"If my senior really wants to do that, should I just close my eyes, or should I struggle and resist a little?"

"Wouldn't it seem too unreserved of me to just close my eyes?"

"But what if I struggle and my senior thinks I'm unwilling and stops?"

"and many more!"

"I wasn't really that willing."

She peeked up at the teacher on the podium, who had already resumed the lesson. Then, blushing as if she had done something wrong, Pochi-chan took out her earphones and put them on.

When the sweet and romantic melody of "Because I Like It" rang in her ears, she couldn't help but squint her eyes. As far as she could see, the whole classroom seemed to turn into a romantic pink.

However, despite simulating hundreds of possible scenarios, she never considered that she wasn't the only one having dinner with others!

"What's wrong, Pochi-chan? Are you feeling unwell?"

"Huh? Eh, eh, I'm not feeling unwell."

Boqi-chan, who had followed the group to the restaurant in a daze, first looked at Yoshikawa Yuki, Hori Kyoko and others in front of her who were looking at her with concern, and then turned to look at Iura Hide. Although she had a million complaints in her heart, she still managed to force a smile.

As for getting her to get up and leave now, not only would she be unwilling, but even if she were, given her social anxiety, she simply couldn't do it!

"As expected, how could a gloomy girl like me possibly have the chance to have a meal alone with such a dazzling senior!"

After giving a stiff smile, Pochi couldn't help but lower her head, silently shedding tears.

But just then, a familiar, warm hand suddenly landed on her head and gently patted it.

"Pochi-chan is just a little introverted and shy, and she's not used to having lunch with so many people yet~" Iura Hide explained to Yoshikawa Yuki and the others with a smile.

Although this wasn't the truth, the concern in her words and actions still stunned Boqi-chan at first, and then an indescribable surge of emotion welled up in her heart, causing her facial expressions to instantly break down.

However, Iura Hide's subconscious head pat caused everyone to be taken aback, and then they showed different reactions.

"Huh, is this guy so close to Goto-senpai?" Ishikawa Toru and Yoshikawa Yuki exchanged a surprised look, but didn't think much of it.

Although they felt the gesture was a bit too intimate, they figured it wouldn't be a problem if it were done by good friends.

After all, when Ishikawa Toru wasn't around, Yoshikawa Yuki had given the husky quite a beating.

Although Boqi-chan has only known Iura Shu for a short time, it's normal for them to be close as members of Iura Shu's band, right?

Mashiro, sitting to the right of Iura Hide, either didn't see what was happening or didn't care at all. She continued eating her ramen while holding her favorite pineapple bun, concentrating on her rice.

However, after her initial shock, Kyoko Hori, sitting opposite her, had a strange glint in her eyes and jokingly scolded, "Idiot Iura, don't just touch girls' heads like that. Look, you scared Goto-kun."

"Scared?"
