Vol 2 Chapter 15 – First Day of School

“Tachibana-san, what in the world is this?”

Several days had passed since I moved into this tower mansion.

Looking at the tablet Tachibana-san had handed me, I couldn’t help but ask.

Written there was every imaginable piece of personal information: a woman’s three sizes, age, date of birth, full name, blood type, height, weight, and more.

A photo of her face was displayed right alongside it.

“That is the Bride Folder. The data for every woman living in this Special District is displayed there. Please, use it as a reference for choosing your brides.”

When I touched the photo of the woman on the screen, even more detailed information appeared.

ーーーーーーーーーー

Name: Nozomi Shiramine Talent: 『Idol』

Age: 17 Birthday: April 14th Blood Type: O Height: 165cm Weight: 45kg Three Sizes: B89/W63/H89 Likes: Milk Dislikes: Cola Best Subject: English Hobbies: Dancing and singing Relationship Experience: None, virgin.

Personality: Although she is an idol, she has a surprisingly introverted side. Once she opens her heart to someone, she tends to become quite clingy. She has no experience with men but often gathers information online or reads romance novels to fuel her fantasies, leading to frequent bouts of self-loathing. She acts confident, but this is to hide her true, lonely nature.

Affection for Yuuma-sama: MAX Yandere Index: 95 Type: Stalker

<Sakurai’s Memo: Repeatedly engages in voyeurism and eavesdropping, monitoring Yuuma-sama’s life 24/7. Despite being an idol, it appears she substitutes her lack of experience with delusions. She might be a bit of a handful as a girlfriend! However, she also has a competitive and hardworking side, so if she becomes a bride, there’s a high chance she’ll be a dependable partner who can perfectly handle housework and childcare!>

ーーーーーーーーーー

What is this… It even has her personal information? And what’s with all this ominous stuff like voyeurism, eavesdropping, Yandere Index, and Stalker Type…

Sensitive details like her three sizes, height, and weight are also listed, but I wonder how accurate any of this is.

Also, is it really necessary to include whether or not she’s a virgin?

Judging by the “Sakurai’s Memo,” Sakurai-san is probably the one who gathered all this, but…

Seriously, what has she been doing… And how did she even get this information…

“Yuuma-sama, is it perhaps not to your liking? If you would like more detailed data, I can order Sakurai to investigate again…”

As I stared blankly at the tablet, Tachibana-san peered at my face with a worried look.

“No… it’s not that there’s a problem… I was just surprised that I could so easily view a stranger’s personal information…”

“The women living in this Special District are obligated to provide us with all of their personal information. They are fully aware that you, Yuuma-sama, will know everything about them. Therefore, please use the Bride Folder without any concern. And please, devote your full effort to choosing your brides.”

Tachibana-san spoke with a serious gaze fixed on me.

“Sigh…”

I feel like I’ve been talked into it, but… well, it’s not really a problem, so I guess it’s fine…

Just as I was thinking that, Yukina came into the living room. When Yukina spotted me, her face lit up, and she walked over.

“Good morning, Onii-sama! Today is the long-awaited first day of school, isn’t it! I’m so happy I get to go to the academy with you! Let’s get to school!”

“Morning, Yukina. Yeah, I’m looking forward to it too.”

As I answered, Yukina joyfully threw her arms around me.

And then she kissed me right on the lips…

“There… I haven’t accepted the fact that you have to choose brides, Onii-sama. But, if you kiss me every morning, I suppose I can turn a blind eye… just a little…”

Yukina puffed her cheeks out slightly and mumbled. Seeing my adorable little sister, I gently patted her head.

“I know. And even though I have to make 60 brides, you’re the only sister I have, Yukina. I’ve decided I’m going to treasure you, so don’t worry.”

When I said that, Yukina’s expression completely brightened up.

“Thank you! I love you, Onii-sama! Now that that’s settled, let’s hurry up and get to school!”

Yukina released her hug, took my arm, and began pulling me toward the front door.

“I get it, I get it, so stop pulling.”

I let Yukina lead me out of the room.

Tachibana-san and Sakurai-san scrambled to follow after us.

Outside the building, a limousine was waiting, and a person who looked like the driver stood with the car door open.

Once we were inside, we headed for the academy.

A short while after the car started moving, Sakurai-san spoke up.

“Yuuma-sama, please try not to be alarmed when we arrive at the academy. Your fan club exists at the school, so they will be lying in wait at the gate.”

“Sakurai-san, what’s a fan club?”

“They are your most passionate fans, Yuuma-sama. They are extremely aggressive when it comes to romance, and it seems they are plotting various ways to get close to you. Therefore, we will proceed straight to the classroom without panicking. Your class is 1-A, so I will guide you.”

“Sigh… Okay. Thank you.”

My fan club, huh… So something like that really exists… I thought fan clubs were just things you see in manga, but I guess they’re real… I thought about this as I gazed out the window.

Just then, the academy came into view.

The limousine stopped in front of the school gate.

And then—

“Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!”

Before I knew it, the limousine was completely surrounded by a sea of female students. High-pitched screams erupted from their mouths.

And when their eyes met mine through the window, their cheers grew even louder.

Whoa, they’re really staring… It’s embarrassing to get out of the limo… Wait, can I even get out in this situation?

Aren’t they going to swarm me the second I step out? As I was worrying about this, Sakurai-san got out first.

She glared at the swarming students with sharp eyes, spread her arms, and physically pushed them back.

Then, as if by the miracle of Moses, the students parted to form a path.

“Yuuma-sama, now is our chance! We’re getting out!”

“Ah, right!”

Hearing Tachibana-san’s voice, I stepped out of the limousine. Instantly, a wave of cheers washed over me.

“Kyaaaaaaaah, he’s so cooooool! Take meeeeeee!”

As soon as I was out, Tachibana-san grabbed my arm and plunged into the crowd of girls.

We headed into the academy as if fleeing from them.

However, even once we were inside the school building, more female students were lying in wait.

“Welcome back, Yuuma-sama!” 

“Ah! It’s Yuuma-sama!” 

“Kyaaah, Yuuma-sama, I love you!!” 

“I think Yuuma-sama just looked at me! Kyaaaaaah!”

The moment the girls spotted me, they rushed over with joyful looks on their faces.

We ran down the corridor to escape them, dashing all the way to the staircase on the first floor.

“My apologies, Yuuma-sama. I did not anticipate these numbers. I had no idea their ranks had swelled this much… I am truly sorry.”

Tachibana-san bowed her head and apologized, catching her breath in the hallway in front of the stairs. I had been running for my life too, so I was also completely out of breath.

“No, please don’t worry about it. I just… had no idea I was this popular…”

“It appears students from the middle school division have come over as well. I believe things will calm down a bit once we reach the classroom, but…”

As we were taking a short break, the mob from the fan club found us.

“Onii-sama! I will act as your shield, so please, escape ahead!”

“Don’t, Yukina! It’s too dangerous!”

“It’s alright. I can do anything for you, Onii-sama… so please, go!”

“What kind of brother abandons his sister! If you’re staying, then I’m staying too!”

“You’re so kind, Onii-sama… But you can’t. I will protect you!”

“Yukina!”

“The next time we meet, please tell me you love me…”

“Tch… Alright. It’s a promise. So you have to come back safely!”

“Yes! You be careful too, Onii-sama!”

I said goodbye to Yukina and ran down the hall. …After a moment, I realized that Tachibana-san was gone.

Damn it, I left Tachibana-san behind… I hurriedly turned back.

Then, at the far end of the corridor, I saw Tachibana-san and Yukina, surrounded by female students.

It seems Tachibana-san had sacrificed herself to let me escape, and to protect Yukina.

“…Thank you.”

Thanks to Tachibana-san, I was able to shake the students, and I rushed toward the classroom…

However, I now realized I had made a critical mistake.

Wait a second… where is 1-A?

******

***

A few minutes of searching for 1-A later… I was completely lost. It’s not that I have a bad sense of direction. It’s just that this academy is way too big.

“Sigh, what should I do…”

I sat down in the hallway and let out a sigh.

Class is probably going to start soon… But I don’t even know where I am, so there’s nothing I can do.

As I was worrying, I heard a singing voice coming from somewhere.

I followed the voice, drawn in by the song.

I wonder what this is. Listening to this voice calms my heart.

The place I arrived at was, apparently, the gymnasium.

I opened the closed doors.

“…Huh?”

A lone girl stood there.

Without noticing me, she continued to sing… Her voice was so beautiful, so pleasant, that it could charm anyone who heard it.

Her voice stole my heart.

Like a maiden in love, I just stood there and stared at the girl. And with every moment I watched her, I felt my heart fill up…

Even though she’s wearing the standard academy uniform, on her, it looks like an idol’s costume.

Her long, black hair sways beautifully with every move she makes.

Her slender, white arms are so graceful and delicate, it feels like they would break if I touched them. And her eyes… they’re so clear I feel like I could get sucked into them… Such thoughts raced through my mind.

I can’t take my eyes off her… I feel like I could watch her like this forever.

As I kept watching, I realized something.

The idol currently singing in the gym was the girl named 『Nozomi Shiramine』 from the Bride Folder…

I was mesmerized by her voice, and I couldn’t look away for even a second until she finished her song… And then, her performance finally ended.

It seemed she noticed me then, as her gaze turned this way.

For a split second, her eyes widened in a look of surprise, but it immediately melted into a smile.

And then, the top idol Nozomi Shiramine said something shocking. It was truly a bolt from the blue…

“I love you! Yuuma Kisaragi-kun!!!!”

I had fallen in love with a top idol, and she had just confessed to me.
