I Want to Have a Girlfriend Too - Chapter 3

Two of the three most beautiful girls in the school appear!

　Why does math time make me fall into a deep sleep?

　I fall asleep in front of the rows of useless mathematical formulas.

“Here, Saijouin, try to solve it.”

“Yes.”

　Saijouin, who had been nominated, stepped forward and solved the problem without any difficulty.

“You’re good, Saijouin.”

“No, it’s because your lessons are easy to understand.”

　With these words, she returned to her seat.

　I can hear the voices around her saying,

“Great job, Saijouin-sama!”

“It’s wonderful that you are so modest about your own intellectual ability!”

　….Are you a follower of some aristocrat?

　Time has passed, and it’s ancient literature class.

“Please read this sentence—Kagurazaka-san, please read it.”

“I understand.”

　The teacher asks, and Kagurazaka reads the passage from her seat cheerfully.

“Good, thank you very much.”

“You have a nice voice, Kagurazaka-chan!”

“Encore! Encore! I want to hear her voice again.”

　… is it some idol group now?

　The class was going on like this.

* * *

“Ah, finally, it’s over!”

“Good work. You’ve been quieter than usual today.”

　The annoying class is over, and it’s after school.

　Some of my classmates are going home, and others are chatting and laughing.

“Well, you know, I was thinking about the plan I’m going to make for my ambition.”

“I see. That’s why you were so quiet.”

“That’s right.”

“So, what are you going to do now? “

　Kazuki takes a seat in front of me to listen carefully.

“Yeah, I’m not going to confess my feelings right away, but I’m going to gradually build up a good impression first.”

“I wonder why you haven’t done that before… It’s a normal thing to do.”

“Shut up! You’re so handsome, that’s why you can say that! “

“No, I think it’s generally strange to confess to someone when you only barely meet them.”

　————I just noticed that was the case.

“Anyway, I think I’ll start by improving my reputation around me.”

“It’s the right decision. the girls in our class don’t think very highly of you right now.”

“You should ask your Japanese teacher to teach you polite Japanese. That’s rude and not flattering at all.”

　——I see. I’m not well-received by the girls in my class…

　I never noticed what the girls around me thought of me because I used to rush after finding a cute girl.

　…This is surprisingly shocking.

“Anyway, I’m going to take action to slowly improve my reputation.”

“Well, I hope Nozomu will get a girlfriend after all the efforts he has made to get one.”

“Kazuki… you! Thanks, I’ll do my best! “

　Yes! I’ve been working on myself almost every day since the day I decided to get a girlfriend!

　I went to a boxing gym because I heard that a strong man is popular with the girls, and I went to a cooking class because I heard that a man who can cook is popular with the ladies.

　All the efforts I have made so far have been for the sole purpose of getting a girlfriend!

　Efforts will never betray you!

　I got up from my seat and shook hands with my best friend, who cheered me up.

“So, are you going to do that again today? “

“Hmm? Yeah, I was going to stop, but it just became a routine.”

“Well, it’s okay. But it’s not good if other people see you, right? “

“No one’s ever noticed me before. I’m sure it’s fine.”

“Is that so? Well, I have to go to my club activities.”

　Kazuki leaves his seat and picks up his bag to go to his club activities.

　Kazuki is a member of the soccer club.

　Listen to me. This guy is the team’s ace, even though he is a freshman.

　I always thought he was athletic, but I never thought he would be an ace.

　What kind of novel protagonist is he? A good-looking guy with excellent athleticism?—— I hope he explodes.

“Bye, I’ll see you tomorrow.”

　After saying that, Kazuki left the classroom for club activities.

“Well, I guess I should go too.”

　I put my textbooks in my bag and left my seat to go out of the classroom.

　I am not a member of any club, so I should leave and go home, but I have a habit…. or a particular routine.

　I leave the classroom, go up the stairs, and go to an empty classroom on the third floor.

　This classroom was originally the Chemistry Preparation Room, but since it is seldom used, it is now empty.

　Moreover, it is a good place to do my daily routine since no one comes here.

　I walk into the Chemistry Preparation Room, put down my bag, and take a deep breath.

“I like you! Please go out with me! “

　Yes, this is where I practice my daily confession.

　It all started when I confessed my love to a very cute girl for the first time.

[ I-I loft you! Please go out with me! ]

　I bit my lip and said, ‘I loft you!’

　Thanks to that, she laughed at my serious confession.

　Since then, I’ve been thinking, ‘If I confess smoothly and coolly, I’ll get an okay!’ I have been practicing here almost every day.

“I fell in love with you the first time I saw you! Please go out with me! “

　But Kazuki is right. I would not be able to survive in school if anyone saw me doing this.

　If the guys in the class, or even the other classes, especially the girls, saw me, they would say, “What? Is he practicing his confession? That’s really creepy,” and they’re going to avoid me!

　And then, it will be spread on SNS, and it will instantly spread all over the school. ——If that happens, I’ll transfer to another school.

　At that point, I will never be able to get a girlfriend in this school.

　That’s why I’m being cautious.

　I make sure to lock all the doors and check for footsteps in between voice exercises.

　So unless something really bad happens, I won’t get caught.

　Okay, no footsteps.

　 Let’s do one last one and go home.

“I like your kindness! Let’s go out——”

　Rattle- rattle-

　I’m doing vocal exercises when suddenly I hear the door open.

　I locked the door tightly, and the ‘door was open’ sound was heard… That’s strange! I locked the door tightly and didn’t hear any footsteps before… So why on earth did I hear the door open?

　No, that’s not the point!

　 I turn around to see the door.

　Please, please, let it be my imagination!

　I turned around, hoping that I was mistaken, and looked at——

　Saijouin was smiling gracefully, and Kagurazaka was chuckling.

　——Ah, I’m done.

　I can’t believe that I was seen by two of the three most beautiful girls in the school…

　…I’ll have to tell my mom and dad about the new school when I get home.

　 I thought sadly like that.
