Kyoto: I just want to be a gentleman

"While I don't think it's wrong to hide your hobbies, it's better not to belittle your favorite works."

"..."

Although it sounds like a lecture, in reality I am at the bottom of the class, and Ichinose is at the top. Logically speaking, I have no right to speak so many truths...

(In the end, I still couldn’t figure out what happened this morning, but I’ll just leave now.)

"I'm sorry, Ichinose, I have to go."

"..."

"Anyway, let's just forget about what happened today. It'll be good for both of us."

"Do not……"

"Huh? No, that's not right for you, Ichinose—"

"Because I'm also... a homebody."

"Ok?"

Ichinose Yuria's sudden confession.

I always thought it was a fantasy "nerd-friendly hot chick", but it turns out it's a real nerd-friendly hot chick. "

Watanabe Hideyuki turned the next page.

“I’m also a homegirl. So this figurine you gave me…really makes me happy to death.”

Ichinose said in a low voice with a shy smile.

"So, you've been hiding the fact that you're a stay-at-home girl?"

"It's not that I want to hide it, but... it's a bit... embarrassing to reveal this hobby in front of Airi and Rui."

That's only natural. The perfect goddess Kuroki Rui is a Yamato Nadeshiko who has nothing to do with otaku culture, and the lively busty beauty Kaiyama Airi (who actually has a lot of bitterness behind her) has always pursued cuteness and is a recognized beautiful girl... It really takes a lot of courage to reveal that you are an otaku girl in front of these two people.

Ichinose herself was a beautiful girl of the same level as them, or even better in appearance, with a perfect figure, and impeccable breasts and thighs... Perhaps that was why she couldn't say it out loud.

Once you enter a group, it is really difficult to reveal a different side of yourself. This is not just a problem for geeks, but also a complex problem in interpersonal relationships. It is normal to worry that the relationship will break down if an unexpected side of you is seen.

"I don't want to lose a precious friend just because I like anime again. So I chose to hide it."

Ichinose said this meaningfully, looking at the girls who were laughing and playing in front of the camera.

(Although the details are unclear, Ichinose may have had a painful experience in the past.)

As a homebody, it is common to feel that life is not easy, and this is understandable. But because of this, a question arises in my mind.

"You like anime so much, have you ever thought about not being a gyaru?"

"That's absolutely not possible."

Ichinose shows me her nails and makeup.

"Manicure, makeup, fashion, I like them all, so I put my heart and soul into them. I like the hobbies of home girls, and I also like gorgeous fashion, I like both."

“…I see. Sorry, I may have said something I shouldn’t have.”

I just said that you don't have to hide what you like. As a hot girl, Ichinose is confident in makeup and fashion. She is the most active person in the class, and it's only natural.

"Your name is Izumi, right?"

"Ah."

Like Haishan, it seems that since I am at the bottom of the class, they don’t remember my name very well.

"Izumiya, I beg you. Don't tell anyone that I'm a homebody, especially Airi and Rui."

Haishan also said the same thing...

As the neighbor, knowing these secrets, everyone would do the same. And I am an unknown gloomy otaku, so they probably think I will seize the secrets and do something dirty.

"I won't tell anyone."

"Really?"

"Yeah. Besides, no one would believe me even if I told them."

“…Yeah, that’s right.”

What is this "also"? This reaction is really hurtful.

"That puts my mind at ease. If the otaku thing is discovered, I'll be finished."

Ichinose returned to his usual calm tone.

"But in this case, I don't have to hide from you anymore, right?"

"Ok?"

Ichinose took out a book from her bag and showed it to me.

"I just bought it too. You were reading that light novel this morning, the first volume of "In Another World, I Crazy Sucking the Breasts of S-Rank Beauties and Absorbing Their Cheating Skills"."

"I, I watched 'Breast-sucking Different World' this morning!? How did you remember it... ah!"

Could it be... that's what I meant by "remember" this morning?

"I saw the title of the light novel you were reading this morning and I memorized it. Then I bought it at the bookstore in the mall just now. This is the last copy left."

As expected, "Breast-sucking Different World" is very popular... No!

"Ichi, will Ichinose watch this too?"

"Of course. I was just looking for a new light novel."

It seems that she remembered the title of the light novel I read in the classroom. This is really an unexpected gain. Not only did I understand Ichinose's secret, but I also figured out the meaning of what I said this morning.

"Um, tell me your Lime account. I want to exchange my thoughts on the light novel."

"Ah? Why are you suddenly..."

"Since I can't normally do nerdy girl activities, I decided to talk about nerdy girl topics with you from now on."

Ichinose said as a matter of course.

"This is so selfish!"

Of course, even I would have my objections. If I get too close to the three beautiful girls in the class, my peaceful life - no, my peaceful life with Kaisan is doomed to be destroyed...

"Really? You should cooperate a little."

"This is not a question of cooperation—"

"If you don't agree...I will tell everyone that you looked at me with lustful eyes."

"Lewd, lustful eyes?"

"Now that we've come to this, I'll just say it straight. I know everything about you peeking at my thighs during class."

(Wha, what!? I was discovered...)

To be honest, although I have some resistance to those three people, I do look at Kaishan's breasts with lustful eyes, and the same goes for Ichinose.

There were a few times when I secretly glanced at her beautiful legs, thinking it would be nice if I could clamp them...it seems like she discovered it every time.

"You will keep my secrets, and I will keep yours. This is our relationship now."

Ichinose smiled mischievously.

"So, take care of me, Izumi."

"Ah...okay."

In this way, I established a relationship with the top-class hot girl Ichinose Yuria that was different from that of Kaizan. ”

Watanabe Hideyuki turned another page.

"I learned about Ichinose's secret at the game center in the neighboring town, and we became a relationship of sharing otaku interests. After I returned home, I kept thinking about this in bed.

"I didn't expect that the gloomy hot girl Ichinose Yuria at the top of the class is actually a homebody..."

Although it was surprising that the busty beautiful girl Kaiyama was actually a hard-working person, it was even more unexpected that Ichinose was a otaku.

What's more, because I know their secret, now I am in a relationship where I can exchange contact information with these two beautiful girls with sexy bodies.

A few days ago, I was a gloomy otaku reading light novels in the corner of the class, but now I am sharing secrets with two of the top three campus beauties that all boys admire... It's just like a light novel.

(All this happened because of that seat adjustment, which made Kaiyama and Ichinose notice me.)

If it weren't for that seat adjustment, Haishan wouldn't have noticed me when he was working in the bookstore in front of the station, and maybe I could still buy books in the store as an ordinary customer.

If Ichinose hadn't seen me reading a light novel next to him, he wouldn't have recognized me, and things might not have developed to this point... probably.

(It seems that my peaceful high school life was ruined by that seat adjustment.)

I hated Kuroki Rui who suggested the seat adjustment even more. No matter whether my daily life got better or worse, I could only blame Kuroki Rui.

As I was thinking about these things, the phone in my pocket received a notification.

"?Haishan Aili? sent you a message"

Lime in the sea mountain? What's going on?

I opened the chat interface with Haishan.

"Kaishan: Did you see Yuria at the game center? And did you ask about what happened this morning?"

Oh, and I’m telling you that this is what happened because I consulted Kaizan. I have to explain myself… but if I say something like “Ichinose is a homebody!”, I’ll probably get beaten up by her.

So I decided to prevaricate and responded by saying "I didn't ask in the end! Sorry!"

(It's best to just let this matter go.)

"Kaiyama: I see. Although what Yuria said bothers me, I guess it's no big deal! Forget it~"

Haishan comforted me in a relaxed tone. In fact, this matter is very serious.

"Kaisan: By the way, in return for telling you about Yuria, please treat me to Snot's new drink next time. Take me with you."

Haishan found an excuse to act like a spoiled brat and asked me to treat her. It seems that she got a taste of the sweetness from eating my curry rice last time.

(I was the only one who knew how hard she was working, so she started to act like a spoiled brat...!)

Although I felt a little unhappy, I still replied, "This week's expenses are a bit high, let's do it next week."

Men are creatures that can only nod and agree when a cute girl acts coquettishly (single dogs).
