I Want to Have a Girlfriend Too - Chapter 41

The first Beauty Pageant is held!

“The 1st Sakura School Beauty Pageant will be held! ” “

” ” ” Whoaaaaaaa!!! ” ” “

　And here we are on the last day of the Sakura school festival.

　Like yesterday, I worked hard at my maid cafe in the morning and could take an afternoon break without incident.

　However, I did not go around the festival on the last day but held a stage event created by our volunteers ――[Sakuragaoka Beauty Pageant].

　…because I wanted to try it!

　Aren’t you curious to see who is the prettiest?

　This school has Maya-nē, Saijouin, and Kagurazaka, who are said to be the three most beautiful girls in the school, but I think there are other girls who can compete with them.

　Because this is a massive school with more than a thousand students.

　Who is the prettiest among them?

　And maybe I can find a beautiful girl whom I don’t even know!

　With such expectations and the question of who is the prettiest, I have organized this beauty contest.

　Now, the venue is filled with spectators, and some students are even peeking at the stage from the school building.

　I never thought that everyone was so interested in who was the prettiest!

　I was a little surprised and, at the same time, happy that others felt the same way.

“So, I, Nozomu Tokimori, the treasurer of the student council, will be the moderator of this event! And I have invited Yuuki Yousuke, the vice president of the student council, as the commentator! “

“Ladies and gentlemen, please join us!”

” ” ” Kyaaaーーーーーー !!! ” ” “

　Senpai waves hello from his seat at the edge of the stage, and yellow cheers can be heard from the audience.

　…I envy him because he looks like an idol.

　But I’m the MC… biting my lip, I proceed with the event.

“The rules are quite simple! The girls joining the contest will appear on stage to appeal to the audience.
Then, the audience will vote to decide the No. 1 Miss Beauty Pageant of Sakuragaoka Academy.”

“I like the clarity and simplicity of this.”

“Thank you very much.”

　I take the microphone and explain the rules so that the whole stage can hear.

　Of course, Senpai has a microphone so that all of this conversation can be heard. We are all set!

“Now that you’re all waiting, I’d like to get started: ────Senpai, is there anyone you’re paying attention to this time? “

“Well, I guess… the three most beautiful girls in the school will most likely be the winners. But I’m still curious to see who will be the winner.”

“I see… Indeed, I’m also curious to see who is the best among those three.”

　I take a seat at the edge of the stage with Senpai, and we chat about future developments so that the audience doesn’t get bored.

“So, entry No. 1 from the track and field team. This is Minami Kanade! “

　I call out to her in a loud voice, and a lively-looking beautiful Senpai in a track and field team uniform appears from the side of the stage.

“I am Minami Kanade ! Nice to meet you ! “

“Wow〜, I’m glad to have a beautiful person joining us! “

“Ah, thank you… “

　When I expressed my pleasure, Senpai looked embarrassed and slightly turned her head down.

　She is really beautiful… and her beautiful legs peeking out from her uniform are really wonderful!

　You see, our track team wears short sleeves and shorts!

　Her well-defined face and well-trained muscles from track and field make her legs look great, making her even more attractive.

“Why did you join us today? “

“A friend of mine asked me if I wanted to attend…”

“I see… your friend who might be in the venue. Thank you! “

　As I thanked that person on stage, I could hear a lot of laughter coming from the audience.

　No, thank you so much for bringing her here!

　Because I get to see those great legs up close!

“Well, let’s leave it at that and go―――and make your appeal! “

　I hand her the microphone, and Senpai speaks loudly to the stage, looking a little nervous.

“I’m Minami Senpai from class 5 of the second year! I’m a track and field club member, my specialties are running, and my hobby is cooking! This is my first time being on stage, so I’m a little nervous, but I look forward to working with everyone!”

　After she finished speaking a little too quickly, Minami-san bowed vigorously.

“Thank you very much. Now, Senpai, how was your commentary? “

“Yes, I like her cheerful atmosphere and her shyness. Moreover, it’s great to see her in that uniform that tickles men’s romances. I don’t know if it’s too early to tell, but I’m sure she’ll get a lot of votes.”

　I asked Senpai, and he looked back at the scene and gave me a serious explanation.

　It’s a little weird to evaluate girls seriously! But I like it!

“That’s exactly what I think! 　――So, this is Minami Senpai, entry No.1 ! Thank you very much! “

　Minami-san bowed again and went back to the back-stage.

　This is the way Miss Beauty generally goes.

“That was great! Kanade-chan!”

“Nice! Moderately naughty! “

“Be my girlfriend! “

　The audience cheered loudly.

　I could hear the occasional wishful thinking and strange voices, but that’s good because they were excited about it.

　And I was a little surprised to see more high-class girls than I expected.

　…It’s funny, isn’t it? I didn’t even put much effort into recruiting them.

　――No, I guess Senpai must have asked some high-class girls to join.

　I glance at Senpai.

　There I see Senpai nodding his head in satisfaction.

　…It’s Senpai, after all.

　I concluded to myself.

　It’s good for me, and I don’t have to worry about it.

“Come on, let’s get on with the next one! “
