Rattle... 「Morning.」 「Morning...」 Pop!!! Pop!!! 「Huh!!??」 The moment I stepped through the classroom door, a high-pitched explosion rang out, and something like confetti scattered before my eyes. A split second later, just as I realized it was party poppers... 「Takanashi-kun...」 「「Congrats on the engagemennnnnnnnnt!!!」」 This time, I was greeted by the beautifully harmonized voices of my classmates (though it was mostly the girls' voices)... I…- 824.6 K • Ongoing
Kusahara Yutaka POV 「...That is the end of my report.」 I finish explaining the details of the incident while an atmosphere twenty percent... no, fifty percent more tense than usual hangs in the air. The President, who has been listening in silence, wears a harsh expression I rarely see. 「I know it's not like you are directly responsible... but could you not have stopped her?」 「My deepest apologies. In that situation, there was nothing I could do...」 「...I see. Well, there is…- 824.6 K • Ongoing
Clink-clank... 「Welcome.」 Welcomed by a staff member waiting near the entrance, I stepped into a building that felt as out of place as ever. I took a quick look around the shop, which felt completely cut off from the noise outside and had a unique atmosphere, and my eyes met those of someone smiling at me from across the counter in the back. 「Takanashi-sama. Welcome, we have been expecting you today.」 「Suzuhara-san, hello.」 Suzuhara-san immediately came over and gave a deep,…- 824.6 K • Ongoing
Night... I decided to take a slightly longer bath today, partly to wash away the exhaustion of the day. I used to be the type to jump in and out like a crow, well, maybe not quite that fast, but I usually finished up pretty quickly. The fact that I have started properly soaking every night now is undoubtedly thanks to Sara-san. Especially since I started living alone, I found filling the tub to be a hassle and wanted to save as much as I could on living expenses, so I was even faster and simpler…- 824.6 K • Ongoing
「Now then... let the post-festival party... beginnnnnnnnnns!!!!」 Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!! The venue was enveloped in an extraordinary roar, and on the rearranged stage, the guitars of the light music club began to wail with momentum. The performance started with a high-tempo rhythm that felt like something I'd heard somewhere... though I didn't know the song title... and with that as BGM, crowds of people gathered here and…- 824.6 K • Ongoing
「Marina-san, don't think about anything else... I just want you to tell me your feelings.」 「My... feelings?」 「Yeah. Forget the matching, the voices around us, and all the extra stuff, and just tell me... Marina-san's feelings?」 I speak to her slowly, carefully, and gently, so Marina-san does not get unnecessarily nervous. Thanks to Kazunari, I feel like the sadness Marina-san was showing earlier and her frightened gestures have faded a bit. She still seems a little confused...…- 824.6 K • Ongoing
My confession sent a shockwave through a part of the audience, and that reaction soon turned into curiosity and surprise directed at Marina-san herself. Seeing Marina-san look so uncomfortable under the weight of those voices around us, a sense of guilt welled up inside me. It was only natural for someone like Marina-san, who had no immunity to standing out, to react that way when suddenly thrust into the spotlight, but... still. 「H-Hayato-kun, um... d-do you really... mean me?」 「Yeah.…- 824.6 K • Ongoing
Hayato POV I have only just received the mic, yet my body won't stop shaking when I think about what I'm about to do. But Kazunari... my proud best friend, strode onto that big stage alone, and while exposed to all that hostility and those curious stares, he still carried out his proposal without flinching. I can't even imagine how much courage and guts that takes... even if it's completely different from the tension of a tennis match. That's why I'm so proud of him, and I wanted to see if I…- 824.6 K • Ongoing
「Ah, this is so fun!! We got a look at Satsukawa-san's private life which was a complete mystery until now, and I got to hear plenty of funny stories about Takanashi-kun too!!!」 「Um... I'm very sorry, Kazunari-san.」 「No, it's okay... yeah.」 Even if I end up torn to shreds, even if people say I am just putting on a brave face, I can't let Sara-san look sad. But... Today I... Feel like I have lost something important as a man... I really feel that way. Mostly what happened is…- 824.6 K • Ongoing
「Yes, well then, once again... congratulations on winning the Miss Contest and the Best Couple Grand Prize!!!」 Clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap!!!! This time, there really wasn't a teasing atmosphere, as expected. We were given warm applause and cheers purely to celebrate us, from Minamin, the audience, and the other contestants. In that moment, a feeling of pure happiness welled up, mixed with a good amount of embarrassment. 「Well... rather than a couple,…- 824.6 K • Ongoing
