I Want to Have a Girlfriend Too - Chapter 11

I introduced my best friend without permission.

“Hey, be careful of what you say, Kagurazaka-kun. I almost drowned in the River of Life and Death.”

” …I’m sorry.”

　After school, we gathered in the student council room.

　I gave a light sermon to the cause of the near drowning in the River of Life and Death.

　I almost died, so I have to say something like this…

　Don’t look so glum! If you do it again, I’ll get killed for real!

　And it seems that there are no members of the student council today.

　…I wonder if they have a lot of work to do today. I’m getting worried.

“There is no work for the student council today.”

“Uh, I’m glad you’re telling me something like that, but it’s scary to get an accurate answer from the question in my mind.”

　Is Saijouin an esper or something?

“It’s easy to see what you’re thinking.”

“My face? Are you reading my thoughts with my face? “

“Fufu, I don’t know about that.”

　Saying this, Saijouin gives a small grin.

　…Uh, beautiful girls are so cute even when smugly grinning, it’s not fair.

　Kagurazaka stares at me from the side.

” …you two are getting along a bit, aren’t you? “

“I-It’s just your imagination! “

　Saijouin hastily denies it.

　…If she denies it too much, I feel a little hurt even though I didn’t do anything.

　Nozomu’s heart is cracked.

“A-anyway, let’s start our “let’s get a boyfriend” meeting! “

“Yay! “

“Why are you two so excited…”

　I’m in a bad mood because I got called in after school.

“Do you have any good ideas, Tokimori-san? “

“Don’t throw everything at me right from the start.”

　Are these guys unmotivated to take the initiative and try to just toss the problem onto me?

“First, you have to find someone you can talk and play with and think, “Ah, I want to be with this person.” “

“Well, that’s reasonable, isn’t it? In the end, it depends on how we feel.”

“I think it’s a good idea! …but I’d prefer someone other than the people I talk to all the time.”

　It’s a tough job, but it’s the only way to go.

　Even if I choose the right person, if they don’t like him, it doesn’t matter if he like them.

“I mean, what kind of boys do you like in the first place? If you don’t know that, there’s no way for me to choose the right one.”

“Someone who doesn’t flatter me.”

“Someone who doesn’t approach me just because of my looks.”

　That’s a quick answer.

　Well, I think that’s appropriate.

　Just by listening to the answer, it seems to be easy to find. 　

　――However,

“There is no one like that in this school…”

　Yes, sad to say, there is no one like that in the school as far as I can see.

　The people who approach this girl try to make friends with them with ulterior motives.

　I see. That’s why these two avoided them and acted superficially.

　 ――Hmm? Wait a minute.

“There’s one guy.”

“Who is it? “

“Good grades, don’t judge people by their looks, nice to people, athletic. And he’s good-looking, too.”

“He seemed like a very nice guy! “

“Since he has a criminal record, don’t let your guard down.”
(TN: He brought Yamada)

　Saijouin, don’t talk about me like I’m a criminal.

“Well, let’s just do the best we can. Let’s talk to him first, and then you can decide.”

“I agree! Then let’s go see him! “

“But it’s after school. Is he still at school? “

“Yeah, he’s probably in the middle of his club activities right now. Anyway, we’re going to see him now! “

　So we left the student council room.

* * *

　Then we went out to the playground.

　The ground was full of the activity of various clubs.

“What kind of club is he in? “

“Uhh, he’s in soccer.”

“Soccer! Great, that’s cool! “

　Is soccer so cool, Kagurazaka?

　We headed for the soccer team, which was positioned in the middle of the field.

　The soccer team was taking a break, and everyone was resting on the benches.

“Hey, Kazuki!”

“Hmm? It’s rare for you to be here, isn’t it, Nozomu?”

　Then, I went to my best friend, who was shining extraordinarily.

　…Damn, handsome guys are handsome even when they are on break!

“Are you sure he’s the one you’re talking about, Tokimori-san? “

“Yeah, I went to middle school with him, and I think he’s the best man for the job.”

　Even though he is a freshman, he is the ace of the soccer team.

　I don’t think anyone could have picked a better person for the job.

“Ah, Sato kun hello! “

　Kagurazaka waved cheerfully as Kazuki approached us.

“Have you talked to Kazuki before? “

“Not often~ But he’s a nice guy and kind~.”

　This is a promising start, isn’t it?

　If we decide on one person here, there’s only one left.

　This is going to be quicker than I expected.
