What If I Told Tomori-san, The Girl Who's Cold Only Towards Me, That I Knew Her Secret Account? - V1 Chapter 3.1

Vibrant Lunchtime 1

Azusa Tomori has a secret social media account.

Moreover, she uses it to pour out her feelings for her classmates.

Naturally, I have some questions.

Of course, there’s the obvious one regarding why she fell in love with a guy like me, but there are other questions as well.

① Why doesn’t she confess directly instead of expressing her feelings on a secret account?

② Why does she even have a secret account in the first place?

Those two things caught my attention, but I won’t ask her directly.

At school, I don’t make connections with others.

A few days ago in the library, we ended up engrossed in a ‘Kimi Hana’ talk for a good 30 minutes, interspersed with our usual banter. But I haven’t forgotten my rules.

So our relationship shouldn’t change… or so I thought.

“Let’s have lunch, Azusa… uh?”

“Ah, Kagisaka-san?”

“What’s wrong? Do you need something from us?”

Amidst the bustle of lunch break, something was quietly unfolding.

In front of me were three students who were particularly close to Tomori.

And Tomori, who was standing next to me, had her usual charming smile.

“I called him. Today, I thought it’d be nice if Kagisaka-kun could join us for lunch.”

Instantly, the whole class went into an uproar.

“Wait what?! Tomo-chan invited Kagisaka!”

“Has she finally snapped off because he’s slacking off too much?”

“A public trial. Kazami and the others will be the jury. He’ll be sentenced death penalty and sent straight to hell!”

“Nah, even if he got the death penalty, being able to hang out with those four is like heaven.”

Astonishment poured out from everyone, regardless of gender.

And there were envy-filled gazes directed at me as well.

And it’s no wonder.

Other than me, the four of them are not only at the top of the class hierarchy but also at the school hierarchy.

[Senpai, what are you up to?]

[I got invited by the people in my class I’m not close with!.]

[Seriously? Senpai is surprisingly socially awkward, so if anything happens, please don’t hesitate to DM me!]

While appreciating the encouraging DM from Kouhai-chan, let me introduce today’s impromptu lunch gathering members here.

“Welcome, Kagisaka-kun.”

Warmly welcoming me was Tsubasa Homura.

With a face that could easily convince anyone that he was a young rising actor, he towers over 180cm tall with brownish hair and speaks in a refreshing and gentle manner, akin to a soda drink on a summer day.

His nickname is Tsubacchi.

He’s a handsome guy, as far as anyone can see.

“We usually eat together as a group of four, but I’m the only guy.”

As Homura happily welcomes me. It’s true that normally he spends lunchtime with three girls.

――What’s with that harem romantic comedy life? I hope he’ll sink into Tokyo Bay right now.

But there are hardly any guys who feel jealous like that.

Instead, he’s praised as a super nice guy deserving of [It’s understandable if it’s Homura.]

“I’m saying this as someone who was in the same class last year, so there’s no doubt about it..”

“Huh? Did you say something?”

“No, just talking to myself. By the way, you don’t have to use honorifics with me.”

“Fufu-it’s become a habit, you see.”

With gentle black hair swaying, Suzuka Jinguuji smiled serenely.

Her first impression gives off a traditional young lady who has a Japanese-style charm (Yamato Nadeshiko.), and that’s not wrong at all.

(TN : やまとなでしこ, Yamato Nadeshiko, the personification of an idealized Japanese woman.)

The Jinguuji Group.

A big name I’ve heard many times while I was at my parents’ house.

A major corporation boasting significant financial and political power, with multiple subsidiary companies in the three digits.

Suzuka Jinguuji is the granddaughter of the Jinguuji Group’s chairman.

Furthermore,

“Here you go, Tsubasa-san.”

“Thank you, Suzuka.”

As a matter of course, Jinguuji hands over a homemade bento to Homura.

Yes, these two are a couple.

The handsome guy and the young lady.

They really make a perfect match.

“If there were a couple contest at school, you’d definitely win.”

“Well, I wonder about that?”

“Kagisaka-kun, don’t flatter her. Suzuka might get carried away and bring another multi-tiered lunchbox.”

“…! That’s because Tsubasa-san said he gets hungry after club activities…!”

“Hahaha, sorry, sorry. But, another multi-tiered lunchbox might be nice.”

“Huh?”

“The portion was enormous, but it tasted incredibly delicious.”

“Gosh, Tsubasa-san really. Fufu-.”

Retracting my previous statement.

These two would likely win not only a school-wide but even a nationwide couple contest.

That’s how close they seemed.

（But that’s not a problem.)

In fact, it’s convenient.

It would be much appreciated if they ignored me and focused on their couple’s talk.

Right, today’s problem is…

“Huhu. So you’ve finally decided to get along with me, Kagisaka?” (Text in img)

A girl with an appearance that stands out from typical Japanese features lightly tapped my shoulder.

She had dazzling silver long hair and slender, long limbs. With a height of 165cm, slightly taller for a girl, she had a beautiful figure that could be featured on a fashion magazine cover right away.

Her facial features were so well-defined that it made one hesitate to approach her.

If Suzuka Jinguji is a graceful Japanese noblewoman, then this girl is a young lady with a mixed foreign heritage.

However, she was no ordinary young lady.

As evidence, she wore earrings, and her uniform had a slightly disheveled look.

A miraculous girl with a fusion of young lady and gal-like charm.

Clearly, she exuded a different aura.

There’s a saying about an unattainable flower, but her presence was like a single white lily blooming on Mount Everest.

Chifuyu Kazami.

She was Tomori’s childhood friend and a girl unanimously recognized as the cutest in the class, if not the entire grade.
