6 Main Heroines Who Absolutely Want to Monopolize Me - Volume 1 Chapter 3.9

Idols, Actresses, and Influencers at the Amusement Park 9

As we successfully escape, it’s just about 6:00 PM.

The four of us line up in front of a large monitor.

Juujo-san is with us this time too.

“Everyone, I’m glad you enjoyed yourselves to the fullest.”

“Enjoyed? What’s there to enjoy? Since the interim announcement, I haven’t played with Shin once. Except for that b*tch over there, there’s no change in points, right? “

Yuu says with a very displeased look.

“You called me a b*tch!? Rii is also a victim, you know!”

“Meguro, isn’t that a bit too much?”

Kanda says with a smile, taking a stab at Meguro.

“Now then, let’s make the announcement. First, here are the scores from the interim announcement.”

Ria Meguro: 400 points

Leona Kanda: 1200 points

Yuu Shibuya: 1000 points

The large display shows the points from earlier.

“The question is how many points Ria earned…”

“Now, first of all, let’s announce Ria Meguro’s points.”

Ria clasps her hands together.

“Ria Meguro… 400 points.”

“Huh? It didn’t change!? Why!? Rii, even though Shinichi touched my breasts!?”

“Watch your words!”

I barely touched them!

Ria grabs my wet clothes and shakes me back and forth.

“Why didn’t you release happy hormones when you were with Rii? Did you really not like it? Is that even possible?”

“Well, I think the happy hormones were released, probably.”

“Then why…!?”

Standing beside us, Kanda smirks and raises the corner of her mouth.

“That’s right, Meguro.”

“Huh…?”

“After the interim announcement, Hirakawa and I exchanged our smartwatches.”

“Eh..!! Shinichi-kun, why did you do that!?”

“Well, you see…”

Ria clings onto me, and I cross my arms, making a clear declaration.

“It’s because I’m a real virgin!”

” “…?” “

“Ahahaha…!”

Yuu and Ria are dumbfounded by my declaration, while Kanda wipes the corners of her eyes and bursts into laughter.

“I wanted to know two things during this test. First, who I enjoy being with the most, and second, the true intention behind everyone’s study abroad. However, I was afraid that if someone tried to seduce me, I might lose sight of both goals.”

“I don’t know if it’s cool or lame….”

“And I knew that someone, or rather, Ria, would try to do something like that. It’s the perfect strategy to release happy hormones, and Ria had already tested it at the exit of the Big Lightning Mountain. But I also saw it as a chance to probe Ria’s intentions. So, I asked Kanda to exchange the smartwatches.”

Ignoring Yuu’s interjection, I continue my explanation.

“And why did you choose Leona-chan…?”

“Because I can hide it with my long sleeves. With a regular uniform, the wrists would be exposed, and it would be noticeable.”

“Just for that!?”

“It’s not just that. Kanda had planned to exchange the smartwatches with me initially, and she had set up a strategy where points would only be earned when spending time with her.”

“That’s cheating!”

Ria’s eyes widen. Well, Ria is cheating too.

“I thought of pretending to be scared in the Haunted Palace and clinging to Hirakawa while trying to switch the watches, but he caught on immediately. That’s why I wore a tracksuit, well, It was embarrassing to have to stay in Disney in my jersey all day long.

“But you don’t show it on your face.”

“Because I’m an actress.”

“Isn’t that amazing?”

Yuu expresses genuine admiration.

Good grief.

“So, I asked her to stop that strategy and, instead of disqualifying her, I requested her to exchange the smartwatch just once.”

“Wow…”

While Ria seems undecided about whether to be impressed or angry, Yuu raises her hand.

“Does that mean Leona and I are having a fair competition?”

“It should be..”

“So, does that mean there won’t be any changes in the next announcement?”

That is indeed likely. Kanda will probably advance… thanks to the gym clothes effect.

“Can we proceed with the rest of the announcement?”

Juujo-san interjects.

“Leona Kanda…1200 points.”

“See, it’s the same as before. I guess that means Leona’s strategy worked out…”

Yuu shrugs, and Juujo-san speaks again.

“Yuu Shibuya: 1500 points.”

” ” ” ” …. What? ” ” ” “

Yuu, Ria, and I simultaneously tilt our heads in confusion.

“Leona, why? You were holding Hirakawa’s smartwatch, right? The points shouldn’t have changed!”

“Well, you see… Can you listen to my explanation without laughing?”

Kanda smiles and explains.

“I took Hirakawa’s smartwatch from him and kept it. I was supposed to leave it in my bag, but, you know… I was curious about what it would feel like to exchange watches with a boyfriend, so I put it on for a little while.”

“But he’s not your boyfriend, though?”

“I wondered what it would feel like to exchange watches with a boyfriend, so I put it on for a little while,”

Kanda says, repeating the same thing for some reason.

“Then, somehow, I started feeling happy. And then, it seems that the amount of happy hormones I secreted was added to Shibuya, who was closest to me at the time.”

Kanda says while smiling shyly and blushing

“Kanda, that’s…,”

“Hahaha, it’s embarrassing, isn’t it? Oh, here’s your smartwatch. I’ll return it.”

Kanda takes off the smartwatch that she apparently had underneath her tracksuit and hands it back to me.

“Come to think of it, it’s like losing the match but winning the game, isn’t it?”

Ria’s dazzled voice, which seemed to have lost both the match and the game, echoed in the deserted amusement park.
