This is not the date I wanted.

"Could it be that another beautiful girl from nowhere has taken a fancy to Gokawa?!"

Before Shidou could say anything, his bad friend Hiroto Tenmachi was even more excited than he was, and he slammed the table and shouted.

"Hey! Don't say anything without basis!"

Feeling the piercing gaze from the classmate who likes to watch the show, Shidou hurriedly stopped him from barking.

"But, but! It's obvious that this is the routine, right? Be it Tohka-chan, Origami, Kurumi before, and the twins who transferred to the next class not long ago, they all came to find you, Gokawa! Where did you come from as the male protagonist of the harem? Do you exude some mysterious electric waves or hormones that can attract beautiful girls? Why is everyone looking for you? The rest of us don't get a piece of the pie, it's unreasonable! The world is so unfair! Wooaaaaaa QAQ."

"You really don't get tired of saying this every time."

Looking at Tenmachi who was shedding tears of sadness, Shidou made a mocking comment with a mixture of laughter and tears.

"Ah, no, the one who came to visit Gokawa this time was a boy."

My former classmate said this.

"Ah~ What~ So that's how it is."

In an instant, Tenmachi, who had tears streaming down her face just now, suddenly put on a bright smile as if turning the pages of a book, and patted Shidou's shoulder to urge him on.

"Hey! Hurry up, Gokawa! Don't keep others waiting. Communicate well with them and try to foster love!!"

"What the hell is brewing!"

Shidou's mouth twitched slightly, but it was not good to keep the other party waiting for too long, so he left the classroom without arguing with Tonomachi.

After scanning the corridor, Shidou quickly spotted a boy who was fidgeting.

"Um...are you looking for me?"

"Ah! Y-yes, you are Gokawa-senpai, right?"

After Shidou spoke, the boy was startled at first, and then nodded stiffly.

"Well...if there isn't another second-year student with the last name Gokawa, then that would already be me."

It was the first time that Shidou was addressed as "senior", and he scratched his cheek a little uncomfortable.

"You are... a first-year student, right?"

Shidou asked curiously. But there was nothing to be confused about, after all, the boy just called him senior.

"Yes, I'm Tsukimichi Makoto from Class 2, Grade ."

He looked at the other person curiously. The boy was about 1.6 meters tall, slightly shorter than Shidou, with a mushroom-like hairstyle that looked a bit like a helmet. Although his bangs covered his eyes a bit, he still looked pretty and had a slender figure.

How should I put it? At first glance, she looks like a weak character in a comic book who is easily teased by a mature woman or a perverted man.

(Pah! It’s all Tonomachi’s fault. I was reminded of something weird.)

"Gokawa-senpai?"

"Ah—ahem, excuse me. I was distracted by mistake."

Shidou coughed awkwardly.

"So Yue Dao, what do you want from me?"

After hesitating for a moment, Zhenxing spoke.

"Um... I have something I want to consult with Gokawa-senpai. Since it may take some time, can we talk about the details during lunch break?"

"Hmm...I guess it should be okay."

"Very good……"

Seeing that Shidou agreed, Makoto couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Well, let's meet up on the rooftop during lunch break, Gokawa-senpai."

Soon, the bell rang for preparation, and after Shinko bowed to Shidou, he returned to his classroom.

"Shidou, what does that person want from you?"

After returning to the classroom, Tohka asked Shidou with a curious look on her face.

"It's okay. It's a first-year junior who seems to have some troubles and wants to consult me."

Hearing Shidou's words, Tohka nodded in realization.

"Oh, Shidou is really admired."

"Hey, is there?"

Shidou scratched his head absentmindedly. Indeed, it was not a bad feeling to be depended on by a junior.

"However, because of this, I may not eat in the classroom during lunch break. Is it okay for you to eat alone, Tohka?"

"Hmm... Hmm. I'll be fine then. Don't worry, Shidou."

"That's good."

"Don't let your guard down, Shidou."

Just then, Origami beside him suddenly interrupted.

"Well, why do you say that about Origami?"

Shidou asked in confusion.

"Although I think it is commendable that Shidou is eager to help the younger generation, I cannot rule out the possibility that he is using this as an excuse to lull everyone into a quest for you."

"No no no."

Upon hearing Origami's hypothesis, Shidou waved his hands in disbelief.

"That's impossible, Origami. The other person is a man."

"It is possible that she is a woman dressed as a man."

Origami said without changing her expression.

"How could there be such a..."

Although he wanted to say that this would never happen, when he looked at Tohka, he suddenly felt a little unsure.

(Note: During the school trip, Tohka changed into men's clothes and asked to live in the same dormitory with Shidou. For details, please see the Yamaishima.)

Moreover, if you think about it carefully, Mengyue wears boys' school uniform to attend classes in this school, and Shidao has never seen any teacher warn her.

"Besides, even if the other person is really a man, we can't rule out the possibility that he is attracted to Shidou."

Origami took a deep breath and said firmly,

"Shidou's charm does not distinguish between men and women!!"

"No, no, that's impossible. Origami, you've seen it too. The boys in school want to cut me into pieces when they see me."

Although he denied it, Shidao thought about it carefully. Every time he was attacked by the boys in his class, there would always be one or two weird lines mixed in with the jealousy.

(Could it be...haha...I am thinking too much...hmm...)

Cold sweat broke out on his forehead involuntarily, and Shidou comforted himself with a dry laugh.

—————————————I am the dividing line of lunch break——————————————

After lunch break, Shidou finally decided to keep his promise with Makoto and went to the rooftop.

"Ah, Gokawa-senpai, you're here."

Noticing the appearance of Gokawa Shido, Makoto smiled happily.

At this moment, a breeze blew from the rooftop, blowing up the bangs covering the boy's hair.

Fair skin, big round eyes, and long and thin eyebrows.

He is a beautiful boy full of gentle beauty.

However, for some reason, Shidao's palms began to sweat slightly and he felt a little scared.

"Ah...after all...it's a promise."

After answering with some stuttering, Shidou swallowed and asked with some confusion.

"Um... I'd like to ask a somewhat rude question. Yue Dao, you are a boy, right?"

"Hmm? Yes. Although my hair is a little long."

Zhenxing was stunned. Although he was a little confused about the meaning, he nodded and answered.

(That’s great… No, should I feel relieved?)

Shidou felt his thoughts were a little confused.

"Anyway, what do you want from me?"

"Yes, I have been troubled for a long time and I don't know what to do. But in the end, I am sure that it must be Gokawa-senpai."

Makoto twirled his fingers shyly, but finally mustered up the courage to look up at Shidou.

"Y-really?"

Shidou swallowed nervously.

"Please, Senior Gokawa..."

"I'm sorry I can't be with you—"

"Teach me the secret to winning a girl's heart!"

The two voices sounded at the same time.

……

"Me and Gokawa-senpai...?"

Makoto tilted his head in confusion.

"Ahem, nothing."

Shidou coughed twice and said righteously.

"I understand. Let me, Gokawa Shido, help you as your senior."

PS: I originally planned to write a special episode IF line, but I was tortured by myself halfway through, so I decided to just write a daily short story first.

Shidao Juniors (Part 2)

==============================

"In other words, you want to ask me for tips on how to improve women's favorability and men's charm?"

During lunch break, Shidou came to the rooftop and after sorting out the misunderstanding, he ate lunch with Shinko while listening to his troubles.

"Yes. That's it."

Makoto nodded and said with a bitter look on his face.

"As you can see, I'm not very tall and I don't look very masculine. How should I put it... I'm often teased by the girls in my class... I can't say it's bullying, but I always feel that I'm not treated as well as the boys."

"Hmm... teasing, how do you say it specifically?"

Shidou couldn't help but feel curious.

"Well, he always likes to help me with fancy hair accessories, forcefully put makeup on my face, and paint my nails with nail polish when I'm taking a nap... During the Tiangu Festival, he even jokingly suggested that I wear women's clothes to participate in the beauty pageant."

As he spoke, he seemed to recall some unpleasant past events. Zhenxing pursed his lips, and there was a hint of aggrieved in his voice.

"That's really unfortunate."

The corner of Shidou's mouth twitched slightly. How should I put it... it seemed that I could understand his feelings.

"Especially after I was teased, the boys in the class would gloat and make fun of me, saying things like 'It's a pity you don't become a girl', but I'm a boy!"

"I understand! That's simply unreasonable!"

"Right, it turns out that Senior Gokawa is different. He knows how to reason."

Hearing Shidou standing up for him, Shinko was somewhat moved, and there was a bit more admiration in his eyes.

"Sure enough, the only one I can rely on is my senior!"

Feeling Shinko's affectionate gaze, Shidao inexplicably felt a little uneasy.

"But let's be clear. Why are you looking for me? If you want to improve your masculinity, wouldn't it be better to join a sports club?"
