I Want to Have a Girlfriend Too - Chapter 4

I was threatened for the first time in my life.

　Previously on The Last Episode!

　I, Nozomu Tokimori, was practicing confessing my feelings for a girlfriend after school.

　Two beautiful girls saw me, and I told my mom and dad that I wanted to change schools!

　――Just kidding. I didn’t tell them I wanted to change schools (yet).

“H, hey ….Saijouin-san and Kagurazaka-san. What are you doing here after school? “

　I looked at them and realized that they just came in. Maybe they didn’t know that I was practicing my confession!

　No, it is quite possible! It’s too early for game-over, Nozomu!

“Right, I have some business with Tokimori-kun.”

” …? With me? “

　What do you mean? What is this business about me?

　I haven’t talked (or planned to talk) much with these two high-class flower girls, and I wonder why they had something to do with me.

　…Ah, they must have been asked to do something by the teacher or something.

“Yes. I wanted to see you, Tokimori-kun, who was doing something interesting.”

“Well… do you do this all the time? “

” …… “

” ‘I’ve liked you since the first time I met you! Please go out with me.’ was it? Isn’t that a bit of an unsophisticated confession nowadays?”

“Thank you for everything you’ve said to me. Bye. “

　With that, I pick up my bag and leave the classroom.

　…I’m sad, but I have to tell them that I’m going to change schools as soon as possible.

　If possible, I’d like to go to a co-ed school with a high percentage of female students. Or rather, I’d like to go to an all-female high school.

　So, to all of you who have read this far, goodbye, sayonara!

“Wait a minute, Tokimori-kun! “

“That’s right. I haven’t finished yet.”

　Kagurazaka grabs my arm and stops me as I’m leaving the classroom.

“Let go of me! I’m going home and I’m going to get down on my knees and beg my mom and dad to transfer me from this school!”

“What? Why are you changing schools? ? ! “

“Please calm down for now, we can’t proceed with the story.”

　Then it took me five minutes to calm down.

* * *

“Whoa, sigh. Then, let’s get on with what you want to talk about.”

“Why are you talking down to me? “

“Besides, isn’t it Tokimori’s fault that we didn’t progress.. ?”

　The two girls look at me with aghast eyes.

　I’m a little embarrassed when pretty girls glance (glare) at me. Wow, it’s hard to be a popular guy! ( crying inside )

“Well, that’s okay. Actually, I have a favor to ask you.”

“Yeah, I’d also like you to help me with a favor.”

“Oh, okay. If it’s a favor that can be done in 5 minutes or less…”

“Why five minutes? ? !”

“I hate to say it, but you guys seem to be troublesome! “

“What do you mean hate to say it..”

　Because these guys are asking for a favor? They must have a quirk or two.

　So don’t look at me like that. I’ll get angry, you know?

“Well, that’s okay. You don’t have a veto anyway.”

“What? I don’t have a right of refusal, and you’re saying that you want to ask me for a favor?”

“I’m asking you to do something I can’t do. “

　What the heck is asking for a favor…? I suggest both of you look it up in the dictionary.

“I ask you, what choice do you have in a situation like this? A girl is ‘kindly’ asking you for a favor? “

“Yeah, any guy other than me would’ve nodded at the word, please.”

“Is that so?”

　Because you’re super beautiful girls… And I just decided to get a normal girl girlfriend today.

“By the way, if you refuse, I’ll tell the whole school that [Tokimori was practicing his confession after school.]”

　…Ugh.

“That’s nice, Saijouin. But I won’t give in to that level of threat.”

“Oh? So you’re saying you have no problem that we are spreading the word throughout the school? “

　Yes, I’m sure that if they let the whole school know about it, anyone else in this situation will have their life at the school in jeopardy, not to mention this Nozomu, who’s going to get a girlfriend in the near future.

　——But!

“I’m going to get down on my knees and cry to my parents and ask them to let me transfer! I don’t care what happens at this school! “

“I feel sorry for your parents…”

” I’m sure your parents are going to be shocked that you want to change schools for such a reason.”

　They look at me with such pity that it pisses me off.

“Well then! That’s because you threatened me in the first place! “

“But that’s because you were practicing your confession here in the first place.”

“Maybe it’s because you were just being completely careless? “

“Shut up! “

　 I don’t know…young people these days are so rude while saying this and that.

　 What is the state of moral education in today’s society?

“By the way, I promise to spread the word not only in the school but also around the area through our Saijouin group.”

“I’ve never been so disgusted by someone promising something seriously.”

　The Saijouin Group is a very famous company in Japan.

　It’s even harder when they use that kind of power to make promises that are realistic…

“By the way, I’ve already recorded the scene on video.”

“And the evidence is perfect too! ? “

　How dare you! You can’t push me this far!

　What the hell did I do?

　Dear Mom and Dad. I’m sorry. I’m not gonna get a girlfriend.

“Please listen to me and I won’t spread the word, okay? Don’t worry! “

　Kagurazaka smiles gently to reassure me.

　 …I don’t feel safe at all.

“Don’t worry. It’s not that difficult a request.”

“Then maybe… it’s okay? “

“That’s right! It’s easy to talk to Tokimori-kun! “

“O, oh… I see…”

　Their words pushed my heart a little bit.

“If you help us, we won’t tell anyone about what you just said and we’ll delete the video.”

　Oh? Then I might be willing to cooperate with them.

　They say it’s easy, meaning it’s not that troublesome.

“Okay, I’ll help you.”

“Thank you! “

　I decided to accept their request.

　And they both smile and are happy to hear it.

“So, what is this request? “

“Yes, the request is ——We want you to help us get a boyfriends. That’s what we want.”

　 ……….

“Ha….? “

　 Now I remember my mother’s words that I should listen properly to people before I make a promise.
