I Want to Have a Girlfriend Too - Chapter 32

Preparations for the Sakura School Festival are not easy.

 

　The Sakura School Festival is just a couple of weeks away.

　Each class is getting ready for the festival, and the atmosphere of the classroom is gradually changing from the usual one.

　My class was no exception.

 

“Sensei, memories are important, aren’t they?”

“I agree.”

 

　I was making a strong speech to my homeroom teacher while everyone was preparing for the Sakura School Festival.

 

“This moment, which will only last three years of our lives, we want to remember and laugh with each other when we grow up.”

“That’s a wonderful statement.”

 

　The teacher nodded his head in agreement with me.

 

“We want to fill this precious page of our youth with many memories! “

“I understand. I will help you to fill this page of your youth.”

“——Then ! “

 

　I look up at him, happy that he understands me.

 

“But I will not return the camera you brought in.”

” ” ” ” ” Damn it! ” ” ” ” “

 

　While everyone else is busy preparing for the Sakura School Festival, we’re in the classroom screaming sadly.

 

　What a merciless teacher!

　He’s trying to take away our will to preserve our memories by taking away our cameras!

　We tried to persuade him the same way Sakamoto Koji did!────Ah, I remember they couldn’t restore the confiscated goods back then, too, right?
(tn: I can’t find the reference.)

 

“Why is that? “

“We’re only asking you that much! “

“Don’t you have any idea what you’re doing to your students?! “

 

　The boys also plead desperately and sincerely.

　Our feelings are the same at this moment――Please give me back my SLR camera!

 

“Don’t you guys understand… I’m wondering how I should react to the sight of you on your knees at the entrance of the classroom… “

 

　Yes, we were asking the teacher in a sincere posture ──── ‘By getting down on our knees.’

　He put his hand on his forehead in disgust, but it didn’t matter.

 

“Please give me back my beloved SLR camera! “

” I’ll lick your shoes! “

“I’ll rub your shoulders! “

“I’ll give you some money! “

 

　We not only get down on our knees but also demand the return of the camera from the teacher with various options.

　I’ll even polish your shoes for you!

 

“Rules are rules. We’re not giving it back.”

 

　Ignoring our frantic bows and knees, the teacher leaves the classroom carrying a large number of our cameras.

 

” ” ” ” ” Damn it! ” ” ” ” “

 

　We’ve been begging him for so long, but he’s got no compassion!

 

　Our cries of grief echoed throughout the school, not just in the classrooms.

　…… Ah! My SLR camera !

“I feel like a lot of boys in our class are idiots…”

“Isn’t it just your imagination? “

 

　In spite of all this, I was carefully painting a wooden board to make a signboard for our class.

　Well, my taste is as good as ever. This would be suitable for the entrance of the maid cafe.

 

“No, I don’t think it’s my imagination.

 

　Near me, Saijouin and Kagurazaka were decorated in outfits different from their usual uniforms.

　Indeed, now that I think about it, there are a lot of idiots in this class except for me.

 

“Tokimori-san is one of the idiots… and he’s also one of the most prominent.”

“I’m no longer surprised that you can read my thoughts nowadays.”

 

　I’ll call Saijouin “Esper Saijouin” from now on.

　…No, [Magical☆Esper Hiiyo-chan!] would be more interesting, don’t you think?

 

　Okay, let’s call her [Magical☆Esper Hiiyo-chan!]

 

“Magical Esper Hiyo-chan!”

“Annoying, unpleasant, disgusting.”

“All right, I’m sorry, so don’t try to break my joint and shove a pair of scissors down my throat.”

 

　I apologized, and Saijouin let out a sigh and let go of the scissors at my throat before I knew it.

 

　…I really can’t see Saijouin’s movements anymore, day by day. It’s like her movements are becoming more and more sophisticated.

　How can she be so masterful when she has no use for it unless it’s for Senpai and me?

 

“But why did everyone bring their cameras? “

 

　Kagurazaka asked me as she put a flower decoration on the window frame.

 

“Well, I can tell why by the way you guys are dressed,”

 

　Kagurazaka and Saijouin are wearing our handmade maid uniforms for the time being.

 

　That’s right. Today, we are preparing for the Cherry Blossom Festival, which also includes a fitting session.

　What they are wearing now is a masterpiece that I have been working all night to finish.

 

　You can see how well they turned out!

 

　The girls are dressed perfectly in long-skirted maid costumes with many frills.

 

　Kagurazaka looked like a clumsy maid thanks to her cheerful atmosphere and maid uniform, and Saijouin matched her diligent and innocent atmosphere with her maid uniform, creating an extra ladylike aura that made the audience feel like seeing a young lady of some sort.

 

　Moreover, their clothes are made without any wrinkles!

 

　They are exactly the right size. I would have measured them myself, but when I tried to touch them…Kagurazaka slapped me, and Saijouin gave me a straight hook, so they had to self-report their size to me.

 

　To my surprise, Kagurazaka had a D size!

 

　She blushed as she told me her circumference, but when I checked it out, I found that she had a D cup!

　At a glance, it didn’t look like a D cup, but I guess she is a skinny type.

 

　Saijouin, on the other hand, is… ugh!

 

　I’ll try not to say and think anymore because it makes me sad.

 

“What’s wrong with wearing maid uniforms? “

“Look at that.”

 

　I say and point to a corner of the classroom.

　Kagurazaka and Saijouin follow suit and turn their heads to the corner.

 

“I manage to get a shot of Kagurazaka’s maid outfit just in time, starting with the 3,000 yen! “

 

“4,000 yen! “

“4,500! “

“6,000 yen! “

 

　There were men auctioning off the photos of Kagurazaka that they had just barely managed to take.

　The noise of these men was lively, and the women around them were in a state of shock.

 

“What are you doing with my picture….? “

“You don’t have any portrait rights at all….”

 

　It’s true that they don’t.

　Saijouin and Kagurazaka are the only girls in this class wearing maid outfits.

　To tell the truth, I wanted the other girls to wear them, too, but I couldn’t prepare them in time, so I had no choice.

 

　However, Saijouin and Kagurazaka are the most beautiful girls in the school.

　Therefore, pictures of them in their maid uniforms are in great demand among the boys.

　If you look closely, you can see that some boys from other classes also participated in the auction.

 

　…Totally, the boys in this school are a problem for me.

　If they don’t show a little restraint, it’ll be rumored that this class is full of crazy boys.

 

　——By the way…

 

“I’m sorry, I’ve got some urgent business to attend to―――”

“Where are you going? “

 

　I stood up, and Saijouin grabbed my arm and stopped me from moving.

 

“Let go of me. I have someplace I have to go.”

 

　If I don’t do something soon, Kagurazaka’s maid’s uniform picture will be up for bid.

　I need to get it now with all my resources.

 

“Will Tokimori-san be there? “

“Yeah, I really want Kagurazaka’s picture in a maid outfit.”

“Is it… just Alice’s?”

 

　Saijouin is whispering, but it doesn’t matter now.

　Because if I miss it now, I won’t be able to see it until the end of the Sakura School Festival!

　I can’t miss this great opportunity…!

 

　What do you think I brought my SLR camera to school for?

　I brought it for one reason only: to get the maid’s outfit on it!

 

“No, no! Don’t embarrass me! “

 

　Kagurazaka blushes a little and grabs my other arm to stop me from participating in the auction.

 

　…If you’re embarrassed, why don’t you go and stop the auction itself?

 

“So, both of you, can you let go of my arm? I have to get a picture of Kagurazaka’s maid uniform at any cost! “

 

　I appeal desperately to both of you.

　Please! If I don’t hurry, I’ll lose the bid.

 

“Tokimori-kun, If you want to see it…”

“You want to see it? “

 

　Kagurazaka turns over and whispers to me.

 

“I’ll wear a maid’s outfit for Tokimori-kun anytime, just don’t take a picture !!! “

 

” ” ” ” …… ” ” ” “

 

　Kagurazaka’s desperate cries echo through the classroom, and the class falls silent.

　The people who were auctioning off the auction items all quieted down and turned their gazes toward us.

 

　…I mean, can you wear it anytime !?

　Yay! This Nozomu-kun is so excited!

 

　Then I guess I don’t need to take pictures.

　I’ll make a maid outfit ver-2 for Kagurazaka next time.

 

“I should kill that guy before we finish this auction.”

“I agree. It’s unreasonable that he’s the only one who can see the maid’s uniform anytime.”

“I envy him… I’ll kill him too!

“…..kill~ “

 

　I turned around when I felt the killing intent, and before I knew it, the auctioneers were shooting at me with the blunt weapons they had taken out of their hands.

 

　Oh no…I can enjoy the happiness of Kagurazaka’s maid uniform, but her comment has made them want to kill me.

　I have to escape somehow!

 

“Damn, you guys! Just because Kagurazaka had promised to dress me up in a maid’s uniform and serve me with lots of skinship anytime I wanted… ! “

“I didn’t say the last one!? “

 

　I try to jump down from the window to get out of the place quickly so that I can save my life and be served by Kagurazaka.

 

　——However,

 

“Saijouin-san, I have to get away from these people wearing Hannya masks now, so can you please let go of… your arm? “

 

　Saijouin holds my arm and won’t let go.

　I looked at Saijouin, her face was smiling, but her eyes were not smiling at all.

 

“Where are you going? We haven’t finished the work yet, have we? “

“No, I’ll finish it later.”

 

　So, please! Please let me go!

　Look, the boys are slowly approaching me, wielding blunt weapons!

 

“Please, please! You’re gonna get me killed! 　I don’t want to be served on a hospital bed! “

“No!”

“Why?! “

 

　I’m absolutely bewildered by Saijouin’s attitude.

　I’m going to force myself to shake it off―――too strong?? Her grip is too strong, and I can’t shake it off!!!

 

“Now, are you ready to swim in the River of Life and Death? “

“Goodbye! “

“I’m gonna kill you at once!”

 

　Meanwhile, I found myself surrounded by men.

　Oh no, there’s no way out!?

 

“Oh, calm down, you guys… let’s talk it over calmly ! ! ! “

 

　The men waved their blunt weapons in the air, and I was pleading for my life.

　Needless to say, my screams echoed throughout the school.

 

“Why did I do this ……? “

 

　Saijouin’s mumbles were inaudible to my ears.

　All I heard was the sound of my bones colliding with the blunt instrument.

 

　In the end, I was literally knocked out.

　The only thing that saved me was that Kagurazaka took care of me in the infirmary afterward, wearing a maid’s uniform.

 

 

　…Really, they are merciless.
