TL Note: I really enjoy this series even though the characters are way over the top sometimes. It’s a decent rom-com. I was reading this on Zetro, but the release was so slow I went and translated the rest of them myself.
FYI, this series is currently on hiatus at chapter 409 due to the author’s family situation. I will be including the author’s note if there is one for each chapter.
LMLCG – Episode 1 – Prologue
by akachaSatsukawa Sara-senpai…
The vice president of our school’s student council, known as the lonely goddess.
I, who was forced into loneliness for certain reasons, and she, the goddess who chose solitude on her own.
Our strange, distanced relationship was on the verge of a turning point.
But really, how did things suddenly come to this?
It’s only natural that Senpai is confused, she’s never been aware of love before.
But if I was going to tell her, I wanted to do it more slowly, more carefully.
Not like this… Not so sudden…
After unintentionally overhearing my honest feelings, Senpai blushed deeply, her face turned red, and yet still, she looked straight into my eyes with unwavering sincerity.
“Takanashi-san, I don’t know if what I’m feeling is really love. But if this is what love is, then… I want it to be love for you. That’s why…”
Sara-senpai said that much, then showed me a dazzling smile…
“I want to fall in love…”
And then…
She gave me the best answer she could…
“Gyahahahaha!”
“He actually came! This guy really showed up!!”
“Sorry~, did we get your hopes up?”
“So pathetic~!”
For some reason, I was being laughed at. I clenched my fists.
…No… Don’t hit them here… Don’t repeat the cycle…
“Since he came all the way, say it already.”
“Geez, fine… I’ve liked you for so long!!”
“Whoa! A shocking confession!”
“Come on, give him your reply.”
These bastards think I’ll just keep quiet and take it.
No way I’m letting that happen.
“You think this is…”
“What a ridiculous little game you’re playing.”
!?
Startled by the sudden voice from behind, I instinctively turned around.
At the rooftop entrance stood a girl.
Who…?
“What is an elementary schooler doing at this school, I wonder?”
Even from a bit of a distance, I sensed something, but now that she walked toward us slowly, the surprise only grew.
I had never seen anyone this beautiful in my entire life.
TV idols and magazine models didn’t even come close. She was unbelievably stunning.
But… more than her appearance, what really caught my attention were her eyes.
Cold to the core, looking down on others completely, as if viewing something filthy, those eyes were fixed on the idiots.
She probably, or rather definitely, had a pretty harsh personality.
And this girl… I’ve seen her somewhere before… Ah, now I remember.
I caught a glimpse of her during the last school assembly, she’s the student council vice president.
“That’s lucky, we get to talk with her up close.”
“Huh? Elementary schooler?”
“What are you talking about, Satsukawa-senpai?”
“…Annoying. That’s enough. Unless you have a special reason, students are not allowed on the rooftop. Get back to class.”
“Yes ma’am, we’ll be careful~”
“Hey, let’s go.”
“Ehh, I wanted to talk more…”
“Just go!”
After being scolded by the vice president, the idiots didn’t put up a fight and obediently left.
They shuffled out together through the rooftop door.
Now, only she and I remained.
“You too. Go back.”
“Yes, sorry…”
Her tone, somewhat less harsh than it had been with the others, prompted me to hurry away from the rooftop.
…This was the first meeting between the student council vice president, also known as the lonely goddess, Satsukawa Sara, and the lonely boy, Takanashi Kazunari.

Nice to meet you.
As a complete beginner with absolutely no experience in writing, I am fully aware that there are many shortcomings in this work.
