The Introvert Invites the Beautiful Girl on a Date.
Once Kawasaki and the soccer team finished saying what they wanted, they returned to their practice.
I was left alone again in the corner of the field.
“Oh, right, I can just collect the ball later.”
However, that meant I couldn’t practice. Since it was pointless to keep doing this alone, I was considering going back to the classroom for lunch when…
“Hello, Ueno-kun.”
The class representative approached from the direction of the school building.
“Rep…?”
“I heard that the others participating in the soccer event were in the classroom, but you were the only one who went to the field, so I came to check on you. It seems like it was quite a challenge?”
“You were watching, huh?”
It seemed that my classmates who were also participating in the soccer event had no intention of practicing.
“Yes. What did you talk about with the soccer team?”
“Just some small talk.”
I deflected the question.
The representative made a thoughtful gesture, clearly intrigued.
“So you talked to Kawasaki-senpai…? Oh, now that I think about it, there was that commotion when he confessed to Ichigaya-san.”
The representative immediately showed a look of understanding.
“Well, that’s a well-known story.”
“Kawasaki-senpai spoke to Ueno-kun…? Could it be that a love rival has appeared? How troublesome!”
“You say that, but you seem rather happy about it…”
“Oh, uh, sorry.”
The energetic representative cleared her throat and composed herself.
“So, what did Kawasaki-senpaii say to you?”
“He said something about challenging me to a soccer match in the sports festival.”
I briefly relayed what Kawasaki had proposed to the representative.
“I see. So it’s a match to determine who is the more suitable man for Ichigaya-san?”
“It seems that’s what he thinks.”
“Oh, but Ueno-kun, do you not feel the same way?”
“For me, Hatsune-san has nothing to do with this matter.”
“Then why did you accept the challenge?”
“Well…”
When the representative asked, I pondered for a moment.
Regardless of what Kawasaki thought, the outcome of this challenge had nothing to do with Hatsune-san for me. Even if I won, I had no expectations regarding Hatsune-san.
“It’s just… I somehow found it infuriating.”
Yes.
I didn’t like how Kawasaki disregarded Hatsune-san’s feelings.
It might be an exaggeration to say he was responsible for the bullying she faced, but he was not entirely uninvolved.
The main instigator, Tsutsui, was one of Kawasaki’s more prominent fans.
It wouldn’t be surprising if Kawasaki had picked up on something.
Of course, there’s also the possibility that he knew nothing at all, but even that would be too careless.
Yet, here he was, trying to approach Hatsune-san again, acting as if nothing had happened after everything had settled down.
To put it mildly, I couldn’t accept that.
“Hmmm. Ueno-kun, you seem quite angry,” the representative observed.
“Eh?”
“I don’t know the details, but it’s clear that you’re upset.”
The representative nodded earnestly.
“I didn’t realize it was showing that much…”
“Yes. I had the impression that you didn’t change your expressions much, but when it comes to Ichigaya-san, you show a different face.”
“What kind of face is that…?”
At that moment, I wished I could see a mirror.
“It’s the kind of face that says you want to make the ace of the soccer team admit defeat,” she said.
“I see.”
Even after hearing her explanation, I still didn’t fully understand.
“I think it’s a good idea. Rather than just getting beaten up by the soccer team as expected, it would be much more fun for everyone in the class to see you make him say ‘ouch’.”
Not just for me, but for everyone in the class.
That was so characteristic of the representative.
“However, I think it’s tough to win if the classmates aren’t there to support you…”
Soccer is a team sport, after all.
Even if I was determined to try, it would be tough if my classmates participating in the soccer event were apathetic.
“So, if you could get the cooperation of your classmates, you could win?”
“Well… I do have some ideas.”
“Oh?”
“Still, the opponents are people who are putting their lives into soccer, so it’s not guaranteed.”
“While the chances of winning may be low… What’s important is the process of working towards the goal of victory together with the class! As the representative, I will help!”
The representative placed her hand on her chest and declared this.
“Thanks for offering to help, but what will you do?”
“I will arrange for supporters to encourage other classmates to participate in soccer practice.”
Arranging for supporters likely means getting one of the boys in the class who takes the lead to help.
“That would be… really helpful.”
It’s the one thing I find most difficult.
“Then I’d like to meet up right away. Do you have plans after school, Ueno-kun?”
“Of course not.”
“In that case, it’s settled. I’ll introduce you to the supporters after school.”
“Thank you, Rep.”
I gave a small bow.
“You’re welcome. If you’re grateful, can I ask for a favor in return?”
The representative is surprisingly shrewd.
What could she possibly want?
“Well, if it’s something I can do…”
“Then please invite Ichigaya-san too. I want to talk to her more.”
“Ah… if that’s the case, I’ll invite her.”
It might be a good opportunity for Hatsune-san to make a female friend.
I accepted the representative’s request.
“Thank you very much. In that case, let’s make sure to meet after school. Just talking might be a bit boring, so how about we go to the shopping mall in front of the station?”
The representative said this and then headed back to the school building.
I returned to Class 2-3 a little later than the representative.
I quickly finished my lunch at my desk while waiting for Hatsune-san.
Today, Hatsune-san was also supposed to practice for the event she was participating in.
The classroom felt emptier than usual.
After a little while, Hatsune-san came back.
She was in her uniform, but she had tied her long hair back to avoid it getting in the way while exercising.
“Oh, did you finish early, Yakumo-kun?”
While I was mesmerized by her ponytail, which looked refreshing, Hatsune-san took the seat next to mine.
“I didn’t finish early; there was nothing going on.”
“Huh…?”
“Well, let’s not talk about that for now.”
“I see.”
Hatsune-san tilted her head in confusion.
“By the way, do you have plans after school?”
“If I had to say, I was thinking of going home with you.”
Fufuu~, Hatsune-san laughed.
“Then how about we go to the shopping mall in front of the station instead of just going home?”
“…! I’ll go!”
Hatsune-san replied immediately.
“Okay, it’s settled then.”
“Yeah. Going out with you after school…, Yakumo-kun…”
Hatsune-san smiled happily.
As I was almost mesmerized by her profile, the chime announcing the start of the afternoon classes rang.
“Alright, let’s start class!”
Just then, as the teacher entered the room, I realized my mistake.
Oh….
I hadn’t mentioned we won’t be alone.
